BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer After several months of work, Parking and Transportation Services has made significant changes to parking conditions on campus the most prominent of which is the addition of parking lot "F". Accommodating over 1500 vehicles, lot "F" is the largest surface lot to date at CSUSM. According to the Parking and Transportation Services website, other additions include upgraded parking signage, refreshed surfaces for parking lots "B" and "C", an extension of Campus View Drive providing access to parking lots "F" and "H". 3 m Access to parking lot "H" will be redirected through the new parking lot (lot "F") and the current entrance to lot H behind Markstein Hall will be closed. Parking lot "H" will now be a faculty/ staff and disabled only parking lot. To help fund these changes, parking fees for the fall semester have been increased to $248.00 and $315.00 for UVA students, with another increase is planned to be implemented later. Lot "F" will have the following features, added carpool spaces, 95 motorcycle spaces, drive up and walk up permit machines with credit card capability, emergency pole stations and a new entrance to parking lot "H".

U I ^ V / V / L V L J Ü JJRI^LV BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Alumn Photo by David Gatley/The Pride Zachary Simon ponders why he ever bought so many books for class. Saving money while going to college can be a difficult task. Yet one way to save literally thousands of dollars during your years at college is to simply not buy your textbooks. It sounds harder than it is but if you can handle it, there are a number of simple ways to not buy your textbooks and still pass your classes. First off, don't buy your books ahead of time. A lot of students stress about buying their textbooks, and making sure they do the readings. Yet stressing won't necessarily produce an A at the end of the semester. It's like getting nervous before a test; you aire only doing yourself a disservice. Instead of buying your textbooks before a class starts, wait until you're actually in the class for a few days to see if the teacher is really going to use the books. Teachers are required to assign textbooks for their classes, even if they are not going to use them. Plus, p ^ l j ^ l i yott looking f M ^ ^ d to for Fall 2006? many assigned textbooks are often only recommended and not required by teachers. More often than not if you simply attend class and pay attention to the lectures you'll pass without a problem and without the need of the textbooks. Of course, this doesn't work for all classes, and if you really need to have or use a textbook for one of your classes there are cheaper ways to access them than visiting the campus bookstore. For example, try borrowing the required reading from someone else in the class. Many teachers often only use the textbooks as a way to supplement material learned in class, thus you may only need the text once or twice during a semester. Classmates are usually more than willing to loan you a book, especially if it's only for a day or two. Another good method of gaining access to textbook information, if needed, is through the Internet. For example, if you have a membership to amazon.com you can actually access many BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Alumn Jennifer Wlams 1 Senior Literature & Writing I jumped into the work force as soon as I turned eighteen, and worked fulltime for nearly twelve years. This time included eight years of military service, in which I signed up for the G.I. Bill, in hopes to go to college some day. I began college around my second year of my military service, working slowly, but methodically, toward my degree. Changing my degree a couple times, I seemed to start over every time. When I left the military, I had a goal in mind: college. Well, one thing led to another, and I got sidetracked. I went back to work fulltime again, chipping away at classes at night. I decided two years ago to devote my entire time to finishing my degree. I began my sabbatical from work in order to finish, finally after several years, my bachelor's degree. My company seemed happy enough to let me take the time and return when I was finished, but I had other plans. I walked in the graduation ceremony in May 2006, but had to return for classes in both sessions of the summer semester. So, two weeks ago, I actually finished my last class of my college career, I ,_ I J < K a Lots of Business!* g l l f e Tim Sabatini Campus Coffee . arti C• "My c lasses. f h||%!J>ey a re a sinterestingas ffitywere fÉfjl 18É111II181ÌIB1 B W t e stilli h FirstY« books in their entirety online, including many books used for CSUSM classes, without paying a penny. If you need a textbook for more than a few days, try simply using the library. Even if the book is not shelved locally, the library wilt order just about any book you need, for free, through inter-library loan. If all else fails and you must buy a textbook, visit websites like half.com to find textbooks at their cheapest. Publishers make their money by constantly releasing new editions of textbooks each year, keeping prices high. Yet, often the information contained in a new textbook edition is the same as in the older editions. Thus, if you need a 7th edition of a $100 book, you can probably find the 5th edition of that same book for literally $10 online. It's well known how expensive textbooks can be, so don't let them break your wallet; there are plenty of ways around buying and paying lots of money for your textbooks.

So what is life like after college? Well, it seems that it is exactly the same as when I entered. Thefirstthing I committed to was a vacation. I took my wife to Las Vegas to make up all of the time I spent at school studying and working. It was nice to spend my first weekend in years not worrying about my homework. I returned to my job, because I sat around not sending my résumé in proper time for any interviews during summer session, and found it was waiting for me. In fact, it was like returning home after several ears tofindyour room the same, but covered in dust. The company did not replace me, though, I wish they had. I spent all this time to return to the same job, I can't wait until my résumé catches they èye of a great company with large salaries and even better benefits. So, I worked on my résumé, spending a full week tweaking small elements on the résumé. I found out that it takes as much time as a full time job, to find a full time job. I'm slowly coming around to the idea that I will return to school. I'm currently looking at law school for my return in education. y �Jock Talk With Josh: What is and what w ill be BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist Cassidy missed me twice, which could explain why he was sent down to the minor leagues. Jake Peavy showed him how it is done and hit me with a strike. I went to the Del Mar Racetrack a few times. I got to see 2005 Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo. He won and, of course, I tried to be a smart guy and bet against him. Now let's see if I remember I recently spent some time at how to do this. First off, I am glad the San Diego Chargers training to be back for my fifth semester camp. It was interesting to see writing this column.

I strongly encourage each of you to get involved in something. your own opportunity.- Former Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard once told me, "CSUSM is for the motivated. It is for people that really want to create something. It is not for the people who just want to sit back and watch." He was absolutely right. It created opportunity for him at Cal Berke- ley, where he is now. Anyways, a short explanation for the new students about what this column is all about. It's supposed to be a sports column, but as many old readers know, I tend to speak on social issues and tend to anger more than my fair share of people. So as per the usual, my email address, sando026@csusm. edu will accompany each of my columns so that I can continue to get threats of a beat down. This year should be an interesting one, sports wise. We now have baseball, Softball and men's and women's soccer. I know I have been saying this for some time now, but expect more sports stories. Since I have been at CSUSM, the quality of work from this paper reached an all new high last semester. I think new editorin-chief David Gatley will take that baton from Patrick B.

HjQO« to 4:00p Bf m aar While the weather is still hot during the days, the evenings have become increasingly cool as the fall semester begins. The change in weather inevitably leads to a change in beers—the sweeter and lighter colored beers and ales of summer give way to richer and more f ull bodied beers of fall. One beer that is perfect for the colder evenings of the beginning of fall is Birra Moretti. While pouring it, you will first smell the strong malt flavor and hear the slight hiss of carbonation. The beer is a rich straw color, and is best served between 41-45 degrees. The bottle is dark brown with a picture of a mustached man, holding a large beer stein. The man on the label's eyes are downcast, he looks tired andpresumably somewhat inebriated. This picture accurately describes the experience of drinking Birra Moretti—a quiet and calming experience. Much like the fall semester, the beer is heavy but not overbearing, bitter but smooth mmm • • • M enough to drink leisurely. This is not a beer for a night out on the town; rather it is best for quiet evenings after a hard day's work or study. First produced in 1859 in the city of Udine, in the Friuli region of Italy, Birra Moretti is a 4.6% alcoholic lager with a smell and taste reminiscent of some Austrian beers. The beer is now brewed and bottled by Heineken Italia in Comun Nuovo, Italy and imported by Star Brand Imports. While it is not widely available, Birra Moretti is mostly found at specialty beer dealers and fortunately in some Italian restaurants. While it stands alone well, the beer is best served with the warm and hearty pasta dishes of its home country Italy. While not for those with delicate palates, Birra Moretti can provide warmth during the chill evenings of the fall semester, remind you of the bitterness of being back in school and at the same time help you through i t Photo by David Baiter/The Pride W WWSMBI» BY Wtéñ NAME P ride S taff W riter Want to make a difference on campus?

However, "Lady In the Water" did not follow suit. Much like most of his films, "Lady in the Water" was marketed as a suspenseful thriller and much like the others, was anything but. Films like "Unbreakable" and "The Village" miss the thriller mark but cover the gap with depth of story and wonderful visuals within the film; making the films enjoyable on at least one level. "Lady in the Water" is about as deep as the children's pool, the visuals are mediocre at best and the plot is, well imagine turning the popular nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water" into a 2 hour long movie and you can get a good idea of what to expect. Of course Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard turn in stellar performances but it is altogether too little too late. In case you didn't see the movie already, don't even bother renting it. If you were part of the unlucky few who did see the movie, my sympathies. Photo courtesy of waruerbros.com Why did Superman return? BY PATRICK B.

Then there was Kate Bosworth, the triple identities of Clark Kent, Superman, and Kalel (the last son I'm not sure what character she was suppose to be, because that of Krypton). In the movie, Superman returns was not hard hitting reporter from a five year absence. He left Louis Lane. Louis Lane is fearEarth to look for any signs of his home world, Krypton. He returns with little or no explanation of his journey or what he found. This would have been more interesting than spending hours pining after Louis.

So, our superhero uses his > superpowers to hover outside of the home of Louis Lane and spies on her with his super peepers and her triple personality superhero. I can only suggest replacing her altogether for the now dubious sequel. My personal favorite character, Lex Luthor, was well played by Kevin Spacey. He was charismatic when needed, and plotted evil well. I only wish they gave him some new plan do plot rather than land deals, just as in the first Superman. Overall, the movie had some really good action, but most of that was in the trailers. The love story between Louis and Clark seemed to dominate the entire movie. It's really upsetting that I enjoyed movies like "The Incredibles" or even "Sky High" more than "Superman Returns". Bryan Singer should go back to "Xmen" and give the next Superman to Christopher Nolan.

X V I N O. 2 TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2006 Highest enrollment in school history School shows tremendous support for new NAIA soccer teams UVA: Freshmen lose personal space BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer New students at CSU San Marcos will find it harder to feel alone this Fall semester—enrollment at the university has increased by almost seventeen percent from last fall's total enrollment. CSU San Marcos has grown considerably in large part due to the state government allowing the school to increase its total student population at a greater rate than in previous years. With a net gain of almost 1,100 full time equivalent students, CSU San Marcos is up to 6,968 students, over 1,300 of whom are incoming freshman. Last year at this time CSU San Marcos was at 5,898 including non full time students total enrollment on campus is 8,461, as compared to last years total of 7,251. And both of these figures are above previous campus enrollment records which had peaked in 2003 when enrollment jumped to 7,708 students. This record breaking growth is not unique however, as San Diego State University has also broken enrollment records with its incoming class this year. While the officialfiguresfor enrollment at all California State University schools are not available until September 22nd, this growth could likely make the student population at CSU 'San Marcos larger than several other California State campuses. Last year, CSU San Marcos was the 19th largest of the CSU schools, beating only CSU Humboldt, CSU Monterey Bay, CSU Channel Islands and the Maritime Academy in terms of size. This year CSU San Marcos will become the 16th largest California State University having a larger student population than CSU Stanislaus, CSU Sonoma, and CSU Bakersfield. The increase in enrollment has had other effects on the school as well. Parking has been increased to accommodate the incoming class, including the opening of Lot F, and the continuing use of temporary lots X, Y, and Z. On campus housing has also beaten previous records, with 575 total residents ENROLLMENT, SEE page 2 Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride UVA residents Sean Richards and Andrew Weltzein move into their room to find their space originally occupied by one person will now have to fit the both of them.

In order for UVA to build more apartments elsewhere on campus, they need tofirstprove to the State of California that they have the demand to do so. The challenge: accommodating one hundred more students a space provided originally intended for less. One particular aspect about the UVA which proved to be a rarity among other university dorms was the gift of choice. In the past, students could choose to live in a private room with three other roommates. Students could also choose to share a larger room with one roommate. Either way, four students were assigned to one apartment. Alas, this is where the freshmen come in. Every freshman living iri a private room setup in buildings B and C are affected by the change. In each private room setup, there are now six people living in it instead of four. In two out of the four 9 Vi by 11ft.rooms, there are now two freshman instead of one; along with two desks, two dressers, and two beds.

CSUSM came out running halfway through the contest and produced a recycling rate over 50 percent, up from the 43 percent from the 2005 competition. CSUSM actually produces an even higher rate but the contest limits the materials used in the calculation. CSUSM owes the victory to not only the students but to two groups known as the Blue Team and the Green Team. The Green Team is a group of students and faculty at CSUSM who are always thinking of new ways to reduce waste on the campus, the Blue Team collects the recycled materials throughout the campus. These two groups combined have greatly contributed to the two victories. The "Pin Man" trophy from the 2005 victory by CSUSM was handed over to Point Loma based on their 2006 victory in the Waste Minimization category. Point Loma was able to reduce the amount of trash for each student to just 35 pounds per person. Yes, even the trophies are recycled in the Recycle Mania competitions. CSUSM is synonymous with recycling. Steven Brankov who is a student at CSUSM said, "San Marcos is always clean, you don't see trash in the bushes, you see cleanliness." Another student at CSUSM Jenny Bigpond commented, "Those bins are everywhere, it's almost impossible not to recycle." Not only will students walk away from CSUSM with a degrees, and muscular calves, but they will also walk a\yay with recycling as part of their lifestyle. With positive attitudes about recycling like this all over this campus there is no question that CSUSM will be ready for the next Recycle Mania 2007 competition which will be held January through April.

The growth raises concerns among some about resources and services being stretched even more than they have been previously. Some students express concerns about longer wait times at places like computer labs and at the on campus Starbucks and classes filling up faster. Whether or not these sorts of concerns will become serious issues for students during the semester though remains to be seen. Until then, the campus at least appears to be ready to welcome and make room for all 8,500 of us. •. « ¿dressf t elephoae ^ ii&mber^ e -maH tag Meattilcatioii» t etters a nd . jfc^Wd'. tMto p d ri^ m il yisi . ptectrmic . , ibm t& tteMttMA^ C SU ft i t the policy of 13ie Prfde i*ot to priat m mymsm l etters.'

It is generally referred to as halftime in football and the seventh-inning stretch in baseball. But a mandated break in college? I can't say that I am a big fan of this "University Hour" that takes place from 11:50AM-12:50PM. This isn't pre-school where we needed "nap-time". Joshie is a big boy now and he can certainly manage his own time properly. Having no classes during that time killed my scheduling of classes for this semester. It made it impossible for me to schedule classes on just two days a week. My Monday's are going to be brutal now. My first class is from 8AM to 8:50AM, followed by a 1 hour 45 minute break, then a class from 10:30AM to 11:45AM. After "nap-time", I have a class from 1PM to 2:50PM, followed by a 2 hour 40 minute break, and then my last class goes from 5:30PM to 8:15PM. As you can clearly see I have enough time off in between classes already. Since I live a half hour away, going home during those breaks generally is not a smart option since I would spend more time on the road than doing something there. The proponents of "nap-time" believe that this will influence more students to get involved in the university. Anyone who didn't want to get involved in the university before certainly won't use a free hour to get involved now; It will be spent grabbing something to eat, talking on a cell phone or just hanging out. I don't want to hear the excuse that "students don't have enough time in the day to get involved in the university or to study." I somehow find a way to take 19units, write for "The Pride", write for the "Union-Tribune", participate in other activities around the school, and still manage to have a little fun. Go to any professor in the Communication department and ask how involved I am. I also don't want to hear the excuse that other universities and community colleges have similar programs. That's like figure skating realizing the appeal of fighting in the NHL and wanting to implement that in their "sport". Imagine Johnny Weir taking one to the temple from Michelle Kwan. Some things just don't belong in certain places. This university is a commuter campus where many students have full-time jobs and are a bit older than the average college student. We should not be trying to make this place into something it's not. If more student involvement is wanted then there is one thing that needs to be done. More on-campus Photo by David Gatley / The Pride housing needs to be developed, because the majority of people who live on campus are involved in some sort of campus activity on a regular basis. That's like Barry Zito being a great pitcher because he had a pitching mound in his backyard while growing up. It was close and easily accessible Where's the compassion for USBTA's banners?

That doesn't necessarily mean that CSUSM will lower the parking prices though. After doing the math, 1 found out that if they keep going with this $90 raise every 3 months, my grandchildren if they attend Cal State San Marcos in 2048 will pay $1508 for parking, which is basically what you pay for tuition in 2006! Something needs to take charge against this rate hike against students. We all have numerous expenses not including tuition and books. As students we should take action against these unfair prices and have them reduced to what they were close to in 2003» Lets make Cal State San Marcos an affordable place to park. to him. I get the feeling that the only people we are going to see at social events during this hour are going to be the same people that normally attend.

Boddington's pub ale works perfectly; it is both refreshing and at the same time filling and just looking at it while it's being poured may bring a smile to your face. Widely available both on tap at most pubs or in four packs at most stores, Boddington's pub ale has been produced in Manchester England for the last 200 years and is now distributed by Whitbread. With 4.1% per volume alcohol content, it is not excessively strong. And while it is not the best beer in terms of flavor, Boddington's has a decent and smooth taste of slight hops with a hint of sweetness. The aroma becomes more pronounced as the beer warms, and like most British beers it is best served cool, not cold. While most connoisseurs would scoff at drinking a canned beer, Boddington's is in some ways more f un to drink in canned form than as a draft. The bright taxicab yellow and black pint cans come four to a pack and generally cost between six and eight dollars. The can itself contains a "floating widget", to aid in creating a rich, creamy head. Floating widgets are small hollow plastic balls with tiny holes in them that are inserted into the can before it is sealed. Liquid nitrogen is then inserted into the can which expands after the can is sealed, which forces "irJjlj beer and gas into the widget. Once the can is opened and exposed to the outside world, the pressure in the can drops causing the beer and gas inside the widget to shoot out of the widget's tiny hole. The mixing action of the pressurized beer releases the dissolved nitrogen in the beer and creates a creamy head as you pour it. The process is both fascinating and f un, and sometimes if opened improperly, results in an explosive, foamy release of beer—which just adds to Boddington's charm. With a bright golden color, and a thick creamy head, Boddington's looks cheerful and inviting. With its smooth taste and mild after taste it works well on its own, so it is perfect for an afternoon of watching football or an after studying round at the pub.

ASI is a student run auxiliary which acts as the voice of the student body. As the students' advocate, ASI creates opportunities for student engagement such as concerts, festivals, intramural sports and other activities that students request for their enjoyment and betterment. Currently, there are five competitive club sport programs which include men and women's soccer, volleyball and two co-ed surf teams, but there are many more recreational activities offered to students; such as skiing and snowboarding, kayaking trips, paintASI, SEE page 2 To avoid registration holds, new CSUSM students born after Jan. 1,1957 have one semester to demonstrate proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella. The student should submit medical documentation proving immunization. Documentation can include a physician's verification of immunizations records or a copy of a laboratory blood test proving immunity to Measles and Rubella. Immunization must have taken place after Jan. 1, 1968 or after the student's first birthday. First time students who are 18 or younger on Aug. 1 of their entering academic year must also present proof of full immunization, against Hepatitis B. For those who cannot provide proof of immunization for Measles and Rubella and/ or Hepatitis B, an appointment can be made with Student Health and Counseling Services to receive the MMR vaccination free of charge. The vaccination for Hepatitis B, on the other hand, involves a small fee. Walk-in clinic dates for MMR and Hepatitis B are Aug. 28 through Sept. 1, Monday through Friday; Sept. 5 through 8, Tuesday through Friday; Sept. 18 through 22, Monday through Friday; Oct. 2 through 6, Monday through Friday; and Oct. 16 through 20, Monday through Friday. Times are 9 a.m. to 11 a m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for all dates. An appointment may also be made for an MMR titer blood test to check immunity levels for Measles and Rubella. Students are advised to have a student identification card handy when visiting. Student Health and Counseling Services also requests that childcare arrangements be made prior to the student's visit. Fees can be settled using cash, check, ATM, Visa or Master card.

On the first day of school, Kyle spent eight hours of his twelve hour shift directing traffic. Campus police officers will direct the traffic in pairs of two until Kyle said, "as long as traffic maintains a public safety issue." Traffic doesn't look like it will let up any time soon, especially with an increased amount of students leaving campus during university hour. Our campus isn't equipped with tunnels and bridges, and with the volume of people driving out of parking lot F each afternoon and walking to their cars, Kyle says he doesn't see an end to the officer directed crosswalk until new technology is built. "If we had a traffic light or a bridge, we'd get a chance to reduce our staffing." Currently we have ten CSOs working on campus. The university police department hopes to gain at least four more students. Matt Curran and Evelyn Henriquez are two student CSOs who were on patrol in their vehicle on Friday afternoon. Curran, a CSO supervisor, also works in the University Village Apartments. In the past he has found a lost child and has interfered when two people attempted to break into a car on campus. He and.other CSOs are willing and ready anytime to escort students on and around campus. "Many people don't know about it but we can escort them from the main campus to the Ralph's shopping center and Barham Apartments." Henriquez is a criminal justice major who has just finished her training. As student enrollment increases, the CSOs increase their squad by one officer each year. Our university has an impeccable safety record and a lot of credit can be given to our student officers. Kyle says, "They play a crucial role in our policing." CSO shifts are from eight in the morning to midnight. After midnight, campus police patrol the campus. And without a bridge, tunnel or stoplight, we'll be seeing a lot of them on campus during yet another transitional time. At the campus police dispatch at 441 La Moree Road in San Marcos, they are currently and continually seeking students to fill out applications for the Community Service Officer position. A background check similar to those that police officers undergo is required. r, v o o p c x ) S ATURDAYS ..

Joshua Walter Lovelace, a graduate student in math, was completely inspired by Dr. Radhika Ramamurthi after taking her Algebra Graph Theory course. Through her energetic and passionate character, Lovelace could see from the beginning that she was concerned about student's learning. Even as a math major, Lovelace says, "I went into it feeling as if it were impossible. She helped me believe in myself, that I could do this." Pamela Castillo, a literature major, couldn't just choose one. "I've been fortunate enough to have several professors that stand out, including Professor Price, Professor Newman, and Dr. Yuan Yuan. The faculty mentor program stands out the most for me. Lisa Bandong has been a wonderful friend and inspiration along with my mentor, Dr. Salah Moukhlis." Jesse Taylor, a computer science major, has seen students give up while taking introductory courses in computer programming. "Either the professor didn't know how to teach or they just weren't enthusiastic about it." Professor Ahmad THE PRIDE Hadaegh changed Taylor's outlook for good. "Not only is he knowledgeable in what he teaches, but he makes it fun and interesting. And he's hilarious. He reassured me that programming is what I want to do with my life." Brittany Smith was doubtful whether she was going to become an accounting major until she had Dr. Mary Ceim for financial and managerial accounting. Brittany says, "She was the most challenging professor I've ever had and that motivated me to meet that challenge." Smith spent the summer working for Sempra Energy through an internship and is happy about her career choice. With so many obstacles and doubts a college student can face day to day, we are fortunate to have a supporting staff to help ease any worries or concerns, or even to say "you can do this" without having to say it at all.

From the NFC North expect the Chicago Bears to take the division for a second straight year. The NFC South will be won by the Carolina Panthers and the NFC West will go to the Seattle Seahawks. The two Wild Card spots will be taken by the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals. The thing everyone wants to know is who will play in the super bowl. Here's a match-up for you to take to Vegas. The Dolphins and Panthers will be playing in the big game. The Panthers are without a doubt the favorite from the NFC. The Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith combination is amazing. DeShaun Foster finally gets the starting running back job. Even if Foster isn't healthy throughout the season they drafted exceptionally well by grabbing DeAngelo Williams and have another great backup in Nick Goings. They also Eli Manning and the New York Giants face Peyton Manning and the Colts. I don't know if brothers have ever faced one another at quarterback in the NFL, but this should be interesting. The Thanksgiving Day games will actually be some good ones for the first time in a long while. The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos play in one game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys play in another and in the stinker of the three the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions play. As far as playoff teams, the following are my picks. From the AFC East the Dolphins will win the division. In the AFC North the Bengals will take it. The AFC South will go to the Colts and the AFC West will be won by the Chiefs. The two AFC Wild Card » spots will go to the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers.

Not to mention, Julius Peppers is a beast on the defensive side. The Dolphins is probably a pick that will raise some eyebrows, but hear me out on this one. The Dolphins got Daunte Culpepper in the off-season. They already have a top deep threat wide receiver in Chris Chambers. Culpepper can throw a great deep ball as evidenced by his relationship with Randy Moss. They also have a top running back in Ronnie Brown to balance the offense. The 'Fins won six in a row to end last season to finish 97.1 expect that trend to continue into this season. They also only have six games against playoff teams from last season.

To answer many of these questions The Pride contacted the Planning, Design and Construction Staff here at CSUSM to see what, if any, plans addressing these concerns exist. In a discussion with Bradly Fenton, the Project Manager in the Planning, Design and Construction department, the Pride found that CSUSM is in the process of having a traffic engineer make arrangements to construct a traffic signal at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon. In order for any construction to be started an environmental impact study must be completed. Last month the study was finalized and made available for public review. From this point all that is left is moving forward with necessary documents and gaining the appropriate funding for the project. While the new parking lot F was being constructed, simultaneously plans for an intersection at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon were being implemented. The plans call for a sigPLANS, SEE page 2 On; Wednesday September 6 at approximately 5 p.m., a faculty member driving a late model Volkswagen van through the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road struck a pedestrian crossing the road. The driver of the van, CSUSM faculty member Dr. Gary Addou, was questioned by CSUSM police. Pedestrian and faculty member Antonia Olivas, an assistant Librarian at Kellogg Library, received medical attention and was taken to a near by hospital. No charges are being filed by either party at this time. CSUSM police found that the driver was the party most at fault based on vehicle code 21950 (c) which states that "the driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within a crosswalk shall reduce speed of the vehicle or take any action or other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian." However according to CSUSM police, some other mitigating factors contributed to the accident: The sun was directly in the driver's eyes, making it difficult to see in the direction of the pedestrian. It was also found that the victim did not see the van. She reportACCIDENT, SEE page 2 Gattey / T b M i « 6 at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Rd.

In addition to this particular intersection plans for more signalized intersections throughout campus are being drafted. While the recent accident won't change any of the time tables for construction of a signalized intersection, it does expose the need for one. According to Fenton, the opening of lot F only exacerbated the need for a controlled intersection for the protection of both vehicles and pedestrians on campus. Fenton also stated, "A signalized intersection was mandatory for the amount of cars that are now using the intersection." Pedestrian bridges were an option; however each intersection would require four bridges. At a cost of half a million dollars each, bridges are not a feasible solution. Lighted intersections typically cost anywhere from 150 to 250 thousand dollars. Signalized intersections are significantly cheaper than pedestrian bridges. According to Fenton, bridges are typically a waste of money as well. Fenton also stated, "Traffic engineers have noted that people traditionally don't use pedestrian bridges if the cross walk is available. They still cross the street." Eventually lot C will have a parking structure, where a bridge may be built to come off the structure and connect to campus, however this project is six to seven years away. As soon as funding becomes available it should take approximately six months to complete the signalized intersection. The money has been requested, and if the proposed educational bond passes in November, the money will become available. That same bond will also fund the next campus building, the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. After the environmental impact study has been completed, the project takes approximately six to eight months with documents and bidding. Construction takes about three months. At this point during next semester, assuming the funding is allocated, construction on the signalized intersection could be completed. r noto Dy David Gatley / The Pride C SUSM Police respond to the s cene of the accident on Wednesday.

Also, with the opening of lot F a new traffic situation has been presented at the intersection of Craven and Palm Canyon Road. This is something that students and faculty are not accustomed to and presents a very serious situa- tion, showing the importance that everyone going through the intersection pay full attention. "I want to remind everybody to be very cautious going through this intersection, including pedestrians and drivers. This intersection can be dangerous if people are not paying attention," says CSUSM Lt. Doug Miller.

Right now the gas prices run from about $2.87 to $3.32 and up. For students on-campus, gas isn't as much of an issue. On-campus students don't need to drive to class, and sometimes may not even own a car, while commuters are driving anywhere from a few miles to forty or more. Surprisingly, students who stay in on-campus housing sometimes pay less on their monthly housing than those renting an apartment in other areas of San Diego. At CSUSM, students can stay in oncampus housing apartments that are located at the base of the hill the college is built on. Built by the Allen and OHara business the CSUSM on-campus housing complex is walking distance from the school and can currently hold up to about 568 students. The dorms are built to be more like an apartment community than dormitories. The structures were built to look like apartments both on the inside and outside. At the University Village Apartments, where the students live on-campus, a 'private room' costs $700. One can have a 6person dorm or a four-person dorm. For a dorm that holds six people, a shared room costs $500. For a dorm that holds four people, the cost is $600. On average a oneperson apartment, that has all the same basic amenities as the dorms, would cost around $600; of course there are exceptions with slightly lower or higher prices depending on what part of San Marcos you live in. A two bedroom, on average, starts around $700, not including any extra bills. It gets a lot more expensive if you want newer or From SURFING, page 1 more conveniently located apartments as well. Melanee Pile, a current senior at CSUSM, currently works and lives and attends CSUSM. She is currently an RA for the UVA (University Village Apartments) and has lived in on-campus hous. ing since summer. Though RA's live in on-campus housing for free, the experiences are still the same. "I love it" she said, when I asked her how she likes living in the dorms. When asked if some students felt constrained by living with so many other students so close to where they go to school she replied saying, "not regular dorm style. Its more like an apartment feels." With an "open community, not like a (jail) cell." When asked about comparing it to living off campus and commuting to school she said its "easier than commuting." All last year Melanee commuted forty-five minutes to make it to campus. While not economically beneficial to everyone, namely those living at home or sharing housing off campus, living oncampus can benefit some students. For those students who want to stay in the oncampus apartments and avoid a commute to school, there is however a waiting list. With limited room, and all spots taken, the UVA has a waiting list for those seeking to get a spot. Fortunately for those wishing to live on-campus later in their academic careers and for students that will attend CSUSM in the coming years, a new parking structure for on-campus students is on the way in about a year and hopefully in three years a new "tower" of on-campus apartments will be put in to give more rooms for more students. On Saturday, Septermber 30 at 7:30 am - 3:00 pm at Crosswaithe Street in Oceanside tryouts will be held for Men's and Women's Shortboard and Coed Longboard. To sign up for tryouts students can go to the Field House Recreation Center counter. Students must bring a student ID and a photocopy and a photocopy of a health insurance card. Also a participation packet and entry form must befilledout, both are available at Field House. Students must also pay an entry fee (cash or check only At payable to ASI Surf Team) amounts are $15 if signed up by September 21, $20 if signed up by September 28, and $25 for beach entry.

JJ . Getsklw is a first time resident advisor who lived in the dorms last year. "Now that we have soccer, that's been a highlight for our residents." There have been many activities offered at the UVA this fall including free Monday night dinners put on by Bryan Dawson and his wife. "Any student loves free food. That's how we attract them to our programs." But the UVA isn't the only one producing fun activities for students to take part in. "Through the efforts of ASI, the Clarke Field House and the RA's, we've had a lot of interest in activities," Getsklw said. According to Getsklw, most of the problems RA's have encountered have revolved around noise complaints. With rooms of up to six roommates, each roommate is allowed to have three guests. "If it's a party or if alcohol is present, it's fine if all residents are over twenty one, if not then it's us who pour it out." If there is an incident with alcohol or marijuana, it is the resident advisor's job to write out an IR or incident report. "If it's a first time offence, the student has a conduct meeting held by either Bryan Dawson, Ryan McCrae or Desiree Woodruff. They handle all the conduct issues. RAs have nothing to do with the conduct meeting or punishment," Getsklw said. As Getkklw said, "Marijuana is the worst thing you can do here." The result of getting caught with marijuana is two strikes against the student. It takes three before a student can get evicted. "With a second strike, a student's contract is in jeopardy and the student is sent to the dean of students because there is an agreement with the campus on that issue." As for the freshman, they seem to be enjoying the overall experience of the UVA. According to Danielle Mitchell, she says, "I'm getting along with my roommate, especially since she's my best friend." As for Kierra Hunt's roommates, she says, "We're all pretty cooperative, sometimes we have misunderstandings over cleaning but we always resolve it." During the third week of school, open door week took place for siudents to mingle with each other. Alex Ingram said, "The RAs try hard but they should have done open door week during the first week of school." His roommate Alfon Allen said, "I have a problem with dorm rules, the quiet hours shouldn't be at (10:00 pm)." Their roommate Greg Moore said, "Everything's cool with my roommates but it's a lot like a war bunker. It teaches us responsibility and how to make situations good." Photp by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride C lub of t he W eek: A ccounting S ociety BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer If you are enrolled in any College Business Administration required class or even more specifically enrolled in an accounting class this semester then you have probably already been solicited to join the CSUSM Accounting Society. As you listened to your iPod or napped during a short introduction regarding the Accounting Society you missed a chance at a potentially prosperous semester, new friends and connections, and ultimately a future career in accounting. Most students would agree that this is not the best way to start a semester. Fortunately for those who are still interested or dare to be different and be involved with CSUSM making it the great campus that it is today, the Accounting Society is still looking for you. The CSUSM Accounting Society (as it is officially titled in Article One of the Bylaws for the group) is more commonly known as the Accounting Society to CSUSM students. "We are looking at increasing our memberships from interring business. And non-business students and keeping regular members active," stated Jessica Alfaro who is the current President of the Accounting Society who is an Accounting Major who plans to graduate this December of 2006 said Alfaro. The Accounting Society is recognized as "the oldest club", according to Alfaro, and was established before the current CSUSM campus was built and the school was hosted in a shopping center in San Marcos. The Accounting Society was originally created to "act as an interface for students and accounting i professionals and so students could get a good understanding of what the accounting industry was like," said Alfaro. The Accounting Society contributes to CSUSM by "presenting CSUSM in a strong and professional way while getting students prepared" for classes and future careers said Alfaro. A trend can be seen in the Accounting Society. "Accounting Society Alumni often times work in the firms that donate to CSUSM or directly to Accounting Society and other Alumni will also look at current members in the Accounting Society" for future positions said Alfaro. The Accounting Society holds two weekly meetings currently in Markstein Hall 104 on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour. Students should expect "to get professional knowledge and to held August 30th said Alfaro. "All students are encouraged to get involved now and attend the meetings," said Alfaro. Still think that Accounting Society is not for you, maybe perhaps it's too stuffy? Upon calling a willing and patient Alfaro for some last minute questions regarding the Accounting Society late and extremely last minute on a Saturday night a familiar loud thumping beat of "Play that -funky music" by Wild Cherry throbbed through the phone. Open the door yourself and check out one of these meetings that the Accounting Society has to offer.

The Accounting Society also holds events off campus that help students with their careers and networking. This past week on September 7th the Accounting Society held and invent at Carlsbad Windmill called Clear Connections that "over 65 students and over 50 professionals attended," said Alfaro. The next two weeks will hold four meetings for the Accounting Society on the 13th, 14th, 20th, and the 21st of which they will be held in Markstein Hall 104 from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock during University Hour, and foodprovided of course.

People worldwide have been expressing their condolences and appreciation for his contribution towards wildlife preservation. The Cal State San Marcos men's soccer team went into Saturday's game with the objective of winning for the university and in memory of Steve Irwin. On Saturday September 9, after two scoreless halves between CSUSM and visiting Pomona Pitzer, the game headed into double overtime. Senior Ben Crouse, a transfer from the University of Notre Dame, set up Freshman Bradley Seidenglanz for the game winning goal. Immediately after the goal, Seidenglanz sprinted towards the Cougar fans, raising his jersey and unveiling his "In Memory of Steve Irwin" undershirt. "I was a big fan of 'The Crocodile Hunter.' I use to watch him as a kid", said Seidenglanz. "The teammates and I thought of a way to celebrate his life." In an offensive 1-0 struggle, the men's team endured a physical contest, testing their will and determination. A visibly bigger and athletic Pomona team disrupted the play of the confident Cougars.

I have spent that week reflecting on the whole situation. Aaron Mansker, the off-duty cop who formerly worked at Palomar College, claims that Foley was swerving at various speeds on Interstate freeway 163 in the early hours after 2 AM, nearly hitting other cars and road barriers. He followed Foley to his home on Travertine Court in Poway, all the while making several attempts at pulling him over and attempting to let him know that he was an officer. I personally haven't had the best experiences with cops, partially because some of my friends are not that bright, and simply because I am Latino. I can remember one time playing basketball in an area that is not accustomed to diversity and having two cop cars pull onto the court with sirens blaring, asking me questions about who I was and what I was doing. That was in the sunlight, so I can only imagine what a black man who plays in the NFL would be thinking if someone claiming to be an offduty cop at 3 AM was following him while waiving a gun. For all Foley knew, Mansker could have been some crazy fan. I know many of you are probably saying, "Why do you have to bring race into this?" Well, my answer is that because whether you want to admit it or not, race is a factor in nearly everything in life. I suggest taking Intercultural Communication 330 with Fredi Avalos or Sociology Inequality 311 with Donna Goyer. Those classes could clear some things up for you. got to be honest and say that if I am driving at 3 AM and someone claiming to be an offduty cop tries to pull me over, there is no, way I am pulling over. I am waiting for back-up to show, because general protocol for most police departments state that an off-duty officer should not attempt an arrest immediately, but wait for uniformed officers to show up on the scene in marked cars. I, like Foley can only react on my own experiences. Someone in plain clothes waiving a gun at me is not an officer, even if he claims to be one. Mansker claims that Foley reached for his waistband when he stepped out of his vehicle near his home. I don't know about any of you, but hearing that piece of news reminded me of the scene in "Crash" when Ryan Phillippe's character kills Larenz Tate's character. Phillippe thinks Tate is reaching for a gun in his jacket and Tate is actually trying to show him that they own the same religious artifact. Foley is a menacing looking dude, but everyone I know who has had experiences with him has had nothing but the nicest things to say about him. I have spent numerous days at Chargers training camp the past two seasons and have witnessed his interaction with the fans. Other than Ladainian Tomlinson there may be no greater Chargers ambassador to younger fans than Foley. I am in no way defending Foley because the guy does have some alcohol related problems in his past and at the time l am writing this not much has been confirmed regarding this incident. All I am saying is that there are sketchy circumstances on both sides of the ball in this situation. By the way, if I offended any of the officers on this campus, I didn't mean it. I love you guys, so don't bother me. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Letter to the Editor: Pedestrians need to be careful Do you all remember the days when Mommy and Daddy would constantly tell you to look both ways before you walk out into the street? Did you all somehow forget how to look once you got to college? After the accident that happened on Wednesday around 5:15pm, I would hope that most of you would realize that it could have been you lying in the road. I do not know all the details, because it was minutes after I had crossed, but I hope anyone involved in the accident is alright. I understand everyone is in a hurry to get home or to work so you just walk out to get to your car thinking "they'll stop, I'm a pedestrian, I have the right a way" but that won't always play in your favor. With the new lot F open, the line of cars trying to leave down the hill is incredible! Why not instead of walking by yourself across the road, holding up that line of traffic, you wait until there is a group of students t o cross. Let the cars get out as well, I'm sure they are in just as big of a hurry as you are. We can't always have the campus police out there directing traffic so we need to be adults here and pay attention! Don't just step off the curb and HOPE the cars see you and stop, because they may not. I don't think we'll be getting a traf- fic light with the flashing hand allowing you to cross anytime soon so until then, look both ways before you cross, and let a few cars go until there are a few people to walk across with you.

It's easy to watch and easy on the brain. There isn't much plot, just pure entertainment. If you like movies like Lost Boys, Duces Wild, and American Outlaws, you'll like The Covenant Although the five boys, Caleb (Steven Strait)* Progue (Taylor Kitsch), Chase (Sebastion Stan),Reid (Toby Hemingway), and Tylef (Chance Crawford) are descendants from witches, they use something like super powers friore than spells and chants. Hurling balls of energy at one another, the boys struggle to maintain control of this addictive habit because using the powers they have will lead to very premature aging. The action scenes are fun and the special effects are well done, but not overdone. There are a lot of similar looking characters, which is a little confusing at first, but once you place seven or so names with characters, it's an enjoyable movie. There are also a few scantily clad girls weaved into the movie to add some diversity, but they don't have much to do with the story. As far as suspense goes, it doesn't have it. This is an action film with hot bodies. There aren't any surprises and the end is left Open for a sequel. There's no question about who the bad guy is and no misleading suspects. Everything is laid out for the audience as they watch the characters figure out what they already know. There are a few minor issues that you just have to ignore in order to enjoy this film. The first and most obvious is the appearance of ghosts or spirits called "darklings" are never explained. The characters know what they are, but the audience is kept in the dark. Fortunately, they don't seem to do much except give the audience a cheap thrill. There are also a few characters introduced in the beginning that serve no purpose in the mpvie, adding identity confusion to an already overstuffed cast of young,, attractive actors. It's hard enough to tell them apart without adding needless characters. One last thing that I found annoying was the use of dialogue to explain the plot. Despite these faults of this movie, I did enjoy living in a fantasy world for an hour and a half where regular people get to have super natural powers. Where the good guy is completely good and the bad guy is almost completely bad. The Covenant is probably not going to win any awards, but it will keep you entertained.

Noone seems to agree on the origins of the Margarita, theories ranging from a bar owner in Acapulco named Margarita, and a bartender infatuated with a young lady named Margarita. However, this much is certain: the originator and all those who expanded upon his or her recipe are~true innovators in the colorful world of mixed drinks. A Strawberry Margarita has four basic i ngredients: tequila, strawberries, lime juice, and triple sec. It may come as a surprise that so many variations have been derived from this basic recipe. Still, while some prefer to use fresh strawberries, some prefer frozen, and others simply must have frozen sliced strawberries in syrup to please their sweet tooth, Tequila is another bone of contention as many have their own favorite brand. Arguably, however, any silver tequila will add a distinctiveflavorwhose heat will still juxtapose beautifully with the icy sweetness of the 'rita. The biggest difference, perhaps, between the various Strawberry 'Ritas out there, is the method of blending. In some, the ingredients are stirred together with ice in a mixing glass and strained into a margarita glass. In others, the ingredients are tossed into a blender and intermingled into a slushy consistency: Yet, no matter what recipe or Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride method is preferred, the Strawberry Margarita will leave its drinker duly refreshed. A respectable Strawberry Margarita recipe (one serving): 1 Vi ounces silver tequila, 14 ounce Cointreau, 1 ounce fresh lime juice (or Rose's lime juice for a sweeter flavor), 4 ounces frozen strawberries (partially thawed), 1 scoop ice, Lime slice,1 fresh strawberry, Coarse sugar. Combine all ingredients, save for the lime slice, fresh strawberry, and coarse sugar, in a blender and blend until desired consistency is achieved. Rub the rim of a margarita glass with lime and dip into coarse sugar t o coat. Pour- mixture into glass and garnish with the fresh strawberry. Enjoy! IP ^^W^OKï^Itt j y E ÉU BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer September marks the end of sumijier, aad;as suclr it i i the last chance to enjoy summer brews and the fruitflavoredbeers. Thefirsttime I had a Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde, I was a little apprehensive. The name brought to mind images of a number of sugary "malt beverages" such as Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade. While many people enjoy those sorts of drinks, I am overpowered by their sweetness. So it took a considerable amount of Restaurant reassurance before I tried one and the result was an enjoyable afternoon and a new summer tradition. . P e t e ' s Wicked Strawberry Blonde is a Golden Lager brewed and bottled since the late 1980's by Pete's Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. I t ^ widely available beer, usually J ol| in six and twelve packs for a reasonable price. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde is brewed with pale and wheat malts, and yakima and tettnang hops. At five percent alcohol per Photo by David Gatley / The Pride volume, it's an excellent beer for a warm afternoon, though its unique taste may not be ideal for a extended drinking session. Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde pours smooth, leaving a thick, rich head which dissolves slowly leaving ropy lacings on the side of the glass. The beer itself is a pleasantly clear amber color. As it pours, you can clearly smell the wheat and a hint of strawberryflavor.It has a slightly sweet andfruitytaste, but not an over powering one. Hie titular strawberry taste is not an artificial sort of strawberry candyflavor;instead it's more like the actual berry's taste. The beer as a whole has a deep and smooth taste; the sweetness of strawberry tempered against the rich, full taste of the wheat malt. The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing, and slightly crisp and carbonated. The aftertaste is a little flat, but not unpleasant. Although available year round, this beer is best appreciated during the long days of summer; and since those days are quickly running out, it's best to enjoy a few before you miss your opportunity for the year. Review: arieta's F ine Mexican Food BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Marieta's Fine Mexican Food is one of 18 restaurants in Old California Restaurant Row, a mission-style complex that also offers a variety ofboutiques and an Edward's Cinema. Located on San Marcos Boulevard, Restaurant Row is less than three miles from CSUSM. The visitor to Marieta's, upon entering, is enveloped by the smell of Mexican spices and a softy buzzing energy. Low, rough-hewn beamed ceilings support hanging lamps of colored glass and numerous string lights of various shapes and sizes. The relative dimness contributes to the overall feeling of intimacy of the interior. Painted in hues of green and honey-beige, the walls are bedecked with ceramic sun sculptures, wooden carvings, sepia-toned photographs, and paintings, one in particular depicting women dancing in a courtyard and clad in traditional mantillas. The evening my husband and I visited, in less than five minutes the hostess had showed us to our table, our server had taken our order for drinks and an appetizer, and chips and salsa had been delivered to our table. Our server remained speedy and attentive, indeed brisk, the rest of the evening. Patrons of the restatfraat were diverse, including|pmil^ groups and young and^oider couples. All seemed relaxed and happy, diving into carne asada, enchiladas, tacos, and other fare with a healthy gusto. The presentation of my meal, Enchiladas Suizas, was simple, rice on one side, beans on the other, two enchiladas in between that were smothered in cheese and green tomatillo sauce and stuffed with moist, flavorful, shredded chicken. For the tequila connoisseur or those simply seeking to become intimately acquainted with tequila, Marieta's boasts a collection of 50. One of the 50 managed to find its merry way into my strawberry margarita, smoothly blended and garnished with a slice of orange. For two entrees, two drinks, and %o$e, appetizer we paid $42188.

The other showing will be in the Clarke Field House from 6 p.m., in the large conference room across I the hall from the Grand Salon. The room which can hold 130 people „was almost at capacity with almost 100 people attending the meeting. The students sat with their group or team at each table.

Over five hundred and sixty CSUSM students are enrolled in women's studies classes this fall. Approximately fifty two of that number either major or minor in women's studies. But since 2001, there have been only two full time faculty members in the women's studies department. With seventeen women's studies classes and a growing rate of interest and participation from CSUSM students toward the program, students are fervently asking the administration for a third full time tenure track professor. Today the women's studies program includes four student organizations. The Women's Studies Student Association is one of them. Nancy Martinez-Molano, president of WSSA is a double major in Women's Studies and Criminology & Justice.

Even though we have work to get done we always have good times and some good laughs," he said. "Domanic Thomas seemed like he was there to help, he also seemed like he knew how to get stuff done and didn't want to mess around," said Jennifer Brich who is a Math Major and a member of the CSUSM Cheerleading Squad who plans to graduate in 2010. The main points that were emphasized by Thomas during the meeting were that the Club Sports do not have a lot of financial funding or insurance. Many participants of Club Sports were unaware of this fact, which was stressed as vital by Thomas. Another point that was brought up was that of participation and commitment by the teams. Thomas informed the students that dedicated teams would be able to do more and most importantly remain a team. "You can be fined for not meeting my expectations" and "You will not like me if you do not turn in your paperwork," he said, explaining that Club Sports' eligibility depends not only on the commitment of the members to the team, but also to the rules and regulations of the campus. The meeting was concluded with the teams being told that the team with "the most points" would be awarded £ fully funded party of their tastes come April of the Spring 2007 semester.

The meeting then proceeded outside as balloons were tossed about on the outside basketball court, in a competition in which two members from each Club Sport tossed balloons for accuracy at increasing distances. Laughter and conversation between members of the various teams could be heard during the event. "I bring passion for sports but more importantly [I want to see] student's growth outside of the classroom," said Thomas. As advice to students, Getskow said, "make sure you come down to the Field House and check on availability of sports and give your support to those who are being active in the school community, by becoming a spectator for your favorite sports". "In the future I see [Club Sports] getting more competitive as the school grows and becomes more traditional and less of a commuter feel," said Thomas. Thomas also noted "Club Sports can not expand much further without more space... they are trying to build CSUSM's image up to the outside world and will not let any of these teams embarrass [CSUSM] by showing up late, ^unorganized, or with bad behavior." If the teams that attended the first official meeting for Clubs Sports follow the regulations and standards set forth by Thomas then CSUSM shall see a few more trophies and more prestige added to the image of CSUSM.

Iota Iota Iota is an honor society in support of students going into grad schools. These organizations have laid a path for students looking to make a difference. The most recently founded organization is the The ASI Women's Center. Each organization has spawned campus activities and student participation. Cheyenne Barr, the director of Men's Activism and Outreach, President of Progressive Activists Network and President of the Women's Center, believes women's studies can be applied to various students. "We're not fighting to save ourselves but trying to save it for other majors." Discussion is underway to change the name of women's studies to women gender and sexuality studies.

But what International and exchange students are really doing besides taking exams and writing papers in a classroom, are learning about the world. They meet people who become a life long connection across the world or maybe in a neighboring country. They leave everything at home to get a real taste of life and return with a renewed vision of the world. And it is exactly this that International Student Advisor Danielle McMartiri loves to see. For those who choose to study at CSUSM work with McMartin during their stay at CSUSM. Some students choose to stay for a semester, others for a year, and other students stay for the four years it takes them to receive their bach- ments, there are about twenty elors degree.

Did you see any cheerleaders last year? How many? You could not have because cheerleading has never officially been a part of CSUSM. September 14th marked the first official meeting for CSUSM Cheer. Tryouts will be held September 18th through September 23rd. CSUSM Cheer is going to be a traveling competition squad. Slight confusion could be seen during the first meeting for the CSUSM Cheer which was simultaneously held during the first official meeting of Club Sports. "We don't even know who our leader or instructor is" confessed one of the twelve present cheerleaders. The cheerleaders seemed cheerful and energetic as they conversed amongst each other before the meeting began. They remained silent and attentive, minus one audible cell phone ring tone, during the lecture given by Domanic Thomas who is the ASI Coordinator for Campus Recreation. "[CSUSM Cheer] are in the process of becoming a recognized Club Sport; they must show that they have the numbers, organization, and a competitive division/ league to compete in, At this time, they have demonstrated organization [such S an M arcos a Creekside Market Place DAPHNES 595 Grand Avenue San Marcos, CA 9 2069 (760) 7 44-3732 Carlsbad (700)929-0875 iiWfiRD Oceanside |7§0) 4&-18Ó1 MillMiasms laving w d t m m m «titer f«ai*, Gmfc & Detó»* Gyros Pita t A Q Q ; as] paperwork and are gaining numbers but have yet to secure a competitive division to compete in for Spring 2007," said Thomas. When asked where do you see CSUSM Cheer taking CSUSM Thomas replied, "Hopefully to a state funded level competition nationally after removing [no stunting] restrictions." When asked the same question Jennifer Brich, who is a Math Major planning on graduating in 2007 stated, "I want the squad to grow into an award winning cheer squad" which "requires hard work." No male CSUSM students were seen at the first official meeting for CSUSM Cheer. When asked about a possible coed CSUSM Cheer Brich f eplfd, "I think co-ed cheer squads are great" and Thomas stated; "It is something that will happen if we cap remove the [no] stunting clause." . Minus the no stunting clause which is already gaining animosity, the CSUSM Cheer seems off to a great start for the first time ever here at CSUSM. Keep your eyes peeled for their future events as they bounce and spin their way into CSUSM history, pompoms and all. Give me a CO-U-G-A-R-P-R-I-D-E! "It's going to be a bumpy start " said Brich.

Lu^rs adeptly slipped a pass ¿cross the box, connecting with Seidenglanz, who tapped it into the open corner of the net. Up 1-0 with 60 minutés left to play, the task for the Cougars was just to hold on. Goach Ron Pulvers switched to a strategy based on counterattacking in thé second half, which resulted in more opportunities for the Cougars. After some near misses, disaster struck in the 67th minute. Following a hard foul by Point Loma, Troy Skomra threw a ball at a Point I^oma player. A brief skirmish followed, but both teams' coaches quickly broke it up. However, Skomra was red-carded; leaving the Cougars a man down for the remainder of the match. With its newfound advantage, Point Loma pushed hard to equalize the score. However, the San Marcos defenders, led by senior Ben Grouse, held strong; and goalkeeper i rent Painte* did not let anything past. Though he was only called Men's on to make two saves, Painter's decision making was excellent as usual en route to his fifth shutout of the year. As the final whistle sounded, the Cougars celebrated, knowing they had earned their most impressive win of the season thus far. They won't have long to savor the victory, though - they'll be back on Mangrum Field this Tuesday (9/19) against Vanguard University. Any and all CSUSM fans are welcome to attend the 4:00 PM game and cheer on their 7-1 Cougars! CSUSM Paintball BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer In their first official event last weekend, The Cal State San Marcos Paintball team, lead by team Captain Wesley Quach, was able to place third out of a field of over twenty collegiate teams; As of Spring 2006, thanks to a number of organized and determined students, CSUSM has offered Paintball as a club sport. The team consists of full time stu- dents who play in leagues against other college club teams such as UC Santa Barbara and Point Loma. Through ASI funding, the Paintball team is able to purchase equipment, rent field space, and travel to tournaments including last week's. The cable sports network ESPN will be covering future regional and national tournaments, like the one the CSU San Marcos team competed in last week.

With that said, here are the top 10 sports books that I have read. No. 10 — "Juiced" by Jose Canseco. I simply recommend this book because of its hilarity. Canseco does have an extensive knowledge of steroids but he also shows his lack of knowledge on pretty much everything else in the world. If you want to know who took steroids during the 1990's through 2000's then read this book. No. 9 - "Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life" by Richard Ben Cramer. Probably the best book to give you a sense of what baseball and the United States were like from the early 1930's to the early 1950's. No. 8 - "I May Be Wrong, But I doubt It" by Charles Barkley. I liked this book because you really won't find anyone else in sports that are willing to comment on issues of politics, race and society. When I read or hear something from Barkley I pay attention because he doesn't try to be dishonest and isn't insincere in what he is saying. No. 7. - "Oh My" by Dick Enberg. This is Enberg's autobiography, and for those of you who don't know who he is, he is a sports broadcaster. I admire^ his career because he knows a . i lot about every sport. I have tried to fashion my career much like his by learning as much as I can about every sport imaginable. I mean, Enberg even covered Roller Derby in the early days of his career. No. 6 - "I Never Had It Made" - Jackie Robinson. This is the autobiography of the man who broke the color barrier in baseball. Everyone knows that aspect about Robinson, but this book taught me so much more about him. What impressed me most about his book is the air of confidence, bordering on cockiness, in which he wrote about his life. It further cemented my opinion that in order to change the world for the better, you have to be so cocky that you think nothing can stop you. No. 5 - "A Shark Never Sleeps" by Drew Rosenhaus. The NFL super agent wrote this autobiog- L .r raphy before he was infamous after the whole Terrell Owens versus Philadelphia Eagles incident. Rosenhaus really is a brilliant and creative mind and this book takes you into his process of how he used that creativeness to make him into a very successful, NFL agent. No. 4 - "The Last Season" by Phil Jackson. All Los Angeles Lakers fans know about this book. It takes you into the breakup of the Shaq/Kobe/Phil Jackson dynasty. I read this book in about two days, because it was so compelling. No. 3 - "Game of Shadows" by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. This book is what is going to keep Barry Bonds out of the MLB hall of fame. This is some of the best reporting you will ever see on any subject. They also stand behind their findings « Ua » rnn t'«fnmAHC O miirh tliat tllPV mav e s CAr\i A so much that they may bKf»erving time in prison soon because they are unwilling to give up their sources to a grand jury. No. 2 - "License To Deal" by Jerry Crasnick. This book follows two young MLB agents who are trying to make it in a backstabbing industry by being honest. I worked with an MLB agent for about a year and realize how hard that task will be for those guys. No. 1-"Moneyball"by Michael Lewis. This book changed the way people look at baseball. Rather than just looking at pure talent, people are now analyzing numbers more than ever. No book has really ever done that to any sport, except for this book. When you read this, you think to yourself, "Why didn't I realize that?" If you have any sports books recommendations, send them to Sando026@csusm.edu. L etter to t he E ditor: Women's Studies I would like to take this opportunity to inform the student body that over 560 students are ^ rolled in Women's Studies Masses.

For the majority ofus who are working, finding time can be hard to participate in extra curricular activities but always keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for something that just might fit into your Palm Pilot between school and work. I was able to attend "Luann: Scenes from a Teen's Life" on Friday the 15th of September at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido which started promptly at 7 p.m. My girlfriend is a huge comic fan, asher stacks ofread and reread comic books lying around in her room suggest, so naturally I had no say in the matter. Except, "You are paying for dinner after the show" I grunted. The show was only $10 per seat which is just maybe a dollar or two above a regular movie theatre ticket. The wait to purchase the tickets was approximately five minutes which only left us two minutes to get in and seated. When asked if we wanted bottom row off to the center, top row off to the center, or lastly top row almost in the middle I chose the latter. The view was perfect on the second story seating area. The theatre was almost full with about 20 seats left unseated. You could catch a glimpse of the live music coming from an open section in front of the main stage in front of thefirstfloorseating area through an array of mirrors. Jenny quickly pointed out that we were four seats away from Greg Evans who wrote the script for the play and who is the artist for the Luann comic strip. No recording of anything from any device was allowed, but a quick snap of the artist himselffrommy photo equipped cell phone did not harm anyone. Center ARTES of CSUSM helped direct the play. The music throughout the musical was awesome, mainly due to the fact that the music was live and executed so well throughout the entire play. The lighting was also magnificent and highlighted every scene appropriately and accurately. The themes of the musical focused on high school but could easily be associated with issues surrounding college students, such as the complexity of women and the simplicity of men, guys and their cars, and dreams of certain likable individuals. I also learned that "no" can be a good word and a bad word depending on whose opinion you take. A concessions stand provided coffee, tea, and light snacking at reasonable prices. Dozens of shops and eateries surrounded the theater so a pre-dinner or a post dinner was a viable option to complete a full night. Parking was easy and driving to and from the theatre was done with ease. On the trek back to Temecula, I looked back on the play and was glad that Jenny made me go. The play was great. I found myself getting really emotional at times during the sad or extremely happy moments. I also found myself letting out my girlish beast-like squeak of laughter during sarcastic moments. Greg Evans seemed to give approval of the musical as he cheered on the cast members after the musical had concluded; that resulted in a standing ovation. I along with Mr. Evans concur, it t'was a wonderful musical and I could have missed out. BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer Photo by David Gatley / The Pride September marks the Stone Brewing Company's 10th anniversary, which they've chosen to celebrate with custom bottles of their famous India Pale Ale and a generous charitable fundraising event. Located; i n E scondido, S tone B reweries i s o ne of the few breweries local to the North County. Stone breweries emphasizes that their beer uses no additives preservatives, adjuncts or pasteurization. The result is a crisp and clean beer with a pleasant aftertaste. With 6.9% alcohol per volume , and smooth hoppy flavor, Stone's award winning India Pale Ale is an excellent beer for general drinking sessions. It pours well in a golden chestnut color, with an earthy aroma and a full foamy head that lingers with an almost perfect spider webbed lacing after each sip. The ale smells slightly of pine and tropical fruit. Stone IPA does not taste piney however, it is a bold blend of malt and hops with a slight hint of fruitiness and a slight smoky flavor. Stone's IPA is best served at 40-45 degrees in a chilled pint glass or mug. Its mouthfeel is rich with the right amount ofcarbonation and a hint of tartness from t heir celebrated "generous dry-hopping". Lom( Víketyview: BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer/ The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill is very much like a music venue. It's a good place to go see local bands, friends and meet new people. That is if you like the rock or punk music. The place opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 2 a.m. Upon entering, there is security to make sure people are of age. At this place, after 10 p.m. people must be 21 an up to enter on "gig" nights. These are the nights that bands play. But on regular nights, like football Sunday and Monday, it's open to everyone The beer is excellent as a stand alone, but would do well with rich curries or other spicy foods. It also works well along side salty aperitifs or cheeses. With a high alcohol and high hop content though, it can l eave a d rinker f eeling t hirsty. The Stone Breweries IPA is available in 22oz Bottles, extra large three liter bottles and a limited edition draft version. The bottled versions of the 10th anniversary brew include special quotes and interviews on the back from the staff at the breweries, as well as a redesigned label graphic. While the redesign is a nice touch, the taste and features of the ale alone sell it. However, something else to that is perhaps more noteworthy is that during their 10th year anniversary fundraising event, the staff of Stone Breweries has raised almost $20,000 for such local causes as Boys and Girl's Club of San Marcos, Palomar Family YMCA, the Surfrider Foundation and FightALD.org. Between it being brewed at a local brewery, the company engaging in admirable philanthropic causes and the ale being excellent, Stone India Pale Ale is a great beer to drink, and now is a great time to drink it. BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride Once upon a time, in a bar far, far away, I sipped at my cocktail and announced, "I can't taste the tea in this drink." Scoffed at by my more mature bar-going pals, I was laughingly informed, "There's no tea in a Long Island Iced Tea!" And so it was that I learned that the brownish hue of the drink, which so resembles iced tea, is actually due to a splash of cola. The fact that it is usually served in a Collins glass and garnished with a lemon wedge also may deceive the naive drinker. The educated cocktail maven will no doubt know that the Long Island Iced Tea is a veritable liquid smorgasbord of hard liquor, a collusion of 1 part vodka, 1 part tequila, 1 part rum, 1 part gin, 1 part triple sec, 1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix, and 1 splash Cola that can leave even the iron-bellied drinker weakkneed and stupid. There might not be tea in a Long Island Iced Tea, but its origins have indeed been traced to Long Island - the question is, howeyer, which Long Island. The most related version of the story has it created by a man named "Rosebud" and making its debut sometime in the mid-1970s. Another version insists that the potent potable hails from a community called Long Island in Tennessee and dates back to theT920s. Whichever history you subscribe to, there is no doubt that this drink is not for the timid. Those with a sweet tooth, however, may prefer to sweeten it up with variations such as substituting raspberry liqueur, peach schnapps or cranberry juice* for cola. In any case, fill a cocktail shaker half-way with iqe, pitch in all ingredients except cola, shake and pour into a Collins glass filled with ice, and add a splash of cola for color or substitute as desired. Garnish with a lemon wedge, make sure you aren't driving anywhere that day, and serve. The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill free of entrance charge. On gig nights there is an entrance charge that changes depending on who is playing; it's usually between $7 and $12. The security and staff are friendly there, though appearances can be deceiving. Everyone seemed to be enjoying him or herself, and it wasn't because most of them were drunk. Yes, there is a lot of alcohol at this place. It is built like the Whiskey a Go Go on the Hollywood Sunset Strip and many other venues on it. When you walk in you are glowing, literally. They have black lights set up. Straight in front of you is about seven tables and too many chairs to count. To your right is the door to the patio and two pool tables. To your left is the stage and dance floor The stage has enough room for a band to fit comfortably and move. The danceflooris in front of the stage and to the left of it is the bar where you can order drinks and food. It's a smaller venue but is filled with windows and the space is open for easy movement. Surprisingly, in this small venue there is enough room for a small mosh-pit before the stage, and there was one happening Friday night. The Jumping Turtle Bar and Grill is filled with people of all types, from the casual person to the extreme. I saw a bunch of colored Mohawks, which made the room look like a rainbow, a lot of leather jackets, tight jeans, ripped jeans, band shirts and more. But that wasn't all. Like I said, it's a great variety of people but all love the rock music. For people who don't like the rock music, loud places, or anything like a music venue, this i s not the place for you. But if you do like rock music, a friendly atmo-* sphere, loud music and pool, or even sitting on a patio with food, you'll like this place. It even has two arcade games and special events for different occasions. An example of this is the football xbox game Madden that they get people to play on football Sundays. That isn't all they offer, though. This place isn't always playing music from bands; it has other events as well posted on their website. So if you'd like to give it a visit, it's off of the Rancho Santa Fe exiton the left side ofthe ^tfeeton Capalina Roa<|. My overall experience at this place was a good one; I loved the people, the music and the space it offered. I encourage students to stop by and test the place out. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Web Scheduler allows CSUSM students to schedule advising appointments according to their declared major or their major of interest. The Web Scheduler suggests that students with an undeclared major status or students with no specific major of interest visit the Career Center, located in Craven Hall Room 4201. The older version of the Web Scheduler closed after midnight on Thursdays and reopened at 10 AM on Mondays. If no appointments were available then students had to continue logging onto the Web Scheduler daily to check for available appointments from Monday after 10 AM to Thursday before midnight. If students were not able to successfully make an advising appointment then they would have to wait until the following Monday at 10 AM to start the whole process all over again. For the Fall Semester however, the Web Scheduler no longer closes. Students can log onto the Web Scheduler to make an appointment whenever they want. Students can also make an advising appointment in advance of 7-12 days. Advising appointments provide opportunities for students to meet with advisors for assistance in graduating.

' Photo by David-Gatley / The Pride See ADVISING Page 2 Before nine in the morning last Friday the Facility Services department announced that the lights and power would more then likely remain off for the remainder of the day in the ACD building. A contractor working in the Academic Hall accidentally struck and disabled a hidden electrical feeder for the lights on the third and fourth floor of the building. Fortunately, the contractor was not injured in the accident. Shortly after the accident, the Facilities Services department notified the Communications Office who sent out a mass email to notify students of the situation. Yellow signs were posted on the doors of the ACD building warning students of electrical repairs being performed through out the day on the first,, third, and fourth floors, with the corresponding classroom relocations. The Academic Scheduling department was notified of the accident on Friday morning and made adjustments to classes in affected areas. Two classes, Communications 360 and Kinesiology 202, which are scheduled in classrooms on the fourth andfirstfloorsrespectively, were relocated to Markstein Hall for the day. The repaif work went fairly smoothly and was completed by Facility Services during the day on Friday. Fortunately this prevents the need for further class relocations, and all classes are scheduled to be held in their regular rooms on Monday.

CAlifORNU STAI? suggested on campus are new parking structures, labs and lecture halls. The public-works bonds which are being run along with Bond ID for transportation, housing, and flood control, (titled Bonds IB, 1C, and IE respectively) may make the passage of each individual bond more difficult. The proposed package is considerably larger than previous bond packages, the previous largest state bond proposal being the $15 billion dollar deficit reduction bond in 2004. That bond, which was named at the time Proposition 57, was a one time Economic Recovery Bond to pay off the state's accumulated General Fund deficit. Seen by voters as necessary to avoid a state fiscal crisis, Proposition 57 passed by an overwhelming margin of 63% to 36%. The bond package IB-IE however does not carry the same level of necessity in the minds of some voters as Proposition 57 did. This difference in perception along with the hefty price tag may lead to the bonds' eventual defeat. Last month a poll by the non partisan Public Policy Institute of California stated that 59 percent of California voters considered the $43 billion in debt that would be accumulated by the bond package's passing would be "too much". To help shore up support for the it, Governor Schwarzenegger along with the four top legislative leaders—including Democrats state Senate President Pro Tempore Don Perata and Speaker Fabian Nunez—are scheduled for several news conferences on October 3 and 4 to promote the bond package.

Illustration by David Gatley/ The Pride BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer I don't view sports as a f an/ T don't get too high or too low when, my team wins or loses, which is why I can work in the sports industry and still maintain my sanity. Last time I lived and died with my team I was in little league. At least that was the case until September 18, when the Padres and Dodgers played one of the most remarkable games I have ever seen. On that day the Padres gave up back to back to back to back jacks in the ninth inning and a game winning homer in the tenth inning to lose to the Dodgers 11-10. Being a Padres fan, you would think I would hang around more Padres fans than Dodgers fans, but that is not the case. Some of my closest friends roll with the blue crew, so as this division chase winds down between the two teams, friendships are being tested. The following are the conversations I had with several people on the evening of September 18 through the morning of September 19. At 9:54PM the Padres todk a lead of 6-4 in the eighth inning so I text messaged my friend Paul, a dodgers fan, "Oh yaaaaa". He simply responds with a couple of expletives. At 10:12PM the Dodgers grabbed one of those runs back and Paul replies to me, "I don't think I can handle much more of this game/' 10:25PM rolls around and the Padres score their first of three runs in the ninth inning. Paul responds with, "Okay... that's it...we aint getting 2 off Trevor... 1 and a halfback." I respond with quite possibly the most clairvoyant prediction of my life, "I dunno man. This game is sketchy. 3 runs I am still not confident with." 10:30PM comes and the Padres finish the inning with a 9-5 lead and Paul says, "How about now?!" Making that transition from journalist to fan I say, "Haha. I am satisfied now." He responds with a "Good! We just had to keep giving you runs until you were." The clock reaches 10:34PM and I am feeling stoked about being a game and a half ahead. Then Jeff Kent homers and Paul responds sarcastically with, "Yay...3 more," 10:35PM comes and J.D. Drew jacks one so Paul responds with an "Oh s**t." Before I know it I am being bombarded with phone calls. Paul callsfirstand myfirstwords were, "Told you I was uneasy." Those of you who live in Temecula, where Paul was viewing the game, know that area gets the .Dodgers telecast, where as San Diegans get the Padres on channel 4 San Diego. What most don't know is that the Dodgers telecast is on 6 second delay compared to the Padres telecast. 10:38PM and Trevor Hoffman is finally called into the game and the first pitch is sent over the fence. As this happens I am seeing it before Paul does and I simply respond with a few expletives of my own this time. Frantically he is confused for those first 6 seconds until he sees my hopes go over the fence. One pitch later I let out some more expletives and Paul responds with a, "you're kidding me, right?" The Padres got out of the inning and I got a call from my Uncle Rene, a Padres fan who lives in Los Angeles. He is watching the game at a sports bar with a bunch of Dodgers fans and among others, Eric Davis, a former Dodger. I make him look like a genius with the whole 6 second delay as he wins several bar bets on what's going to happen next in the game. That would be the highlight of the night for either of us. The game goes into the tenth inning and the Padres grab a 109 lead, so once again I am feeling confident. I finally settle down and decide to join my grandfather for the bottom of the tenth inning. As I sit down, Nomar Garciaparra jacks a 2 run homer over the left field fence to win the game. Then the phone calls start ringing in again, but that isn't the half of it. As Ifinallyget to sleep that night, I figure I won't have to relive that nightmare. That is until I get to my second class on September 19. My friend Karin, a Dodgers fan, gives me a look as I sit down, and I know exactly what she's thinking so I simply say, "Don't say a word." To this day I am still being mocked for that game. So, if you're a Dodgers fan, just don't say a word until the playoffs. As you can see I am still not over it.

A xo^ter with plenty of experience and a few strong he^cditfers should make the 2006-2007 season ian exciting one for the men's gplf team. Last year, the squad placed well in many tournaments, including second place finishes at the Bill Cullum Invite^ Pala Mesa Invitational, and Cal State San Marcos Invitational. This success came despite not having a single senior on the roster. Now, eight golfers return: from last year's team, each with another year of experience under their belts. Scott' Conway and Matt Determari should lead the team. Conway, who was named to the All-Region Team following last season, posted the fourth best overall score in the entire field at the Region II National Championship?. He has also been putting up great scores in off-season August 21 2006. It was ai^ overwhelming end to last season — the squ&d not only won the NAIA Region II Championship, but went on to place fourth at Nationals; the team's highest finish in the seven years ¡since its inception. With the bar set high, the coming year will be more intense than ever* Fall and spring will prove to be a busy time for the Lady Cougars, as the tournament schedule is more full than usual. Five tentative tournaments are scheduled for the fall, and the sprmgrseason is highlighted by the annual Cougar Invitational. During this event, the top NAIA schools travel to San Marcos to compete. Though the competition will befierpethroughout the fall and spring seasons,ft'willserve to prepare the team to be in National Championship contention once again. Within the team itself, competition will be ratcheted up as well. The combination of four talented newcomers with the fact that last year's team featured just one senior means this squad will be full of competition, experience, and excitement. With the great finish to last season, the ladies on this team know what they iyre capable of achieving and 'anticipate stretching their skills and abilities to tournament^. Deternian, a junior, has also: posted great scores in tournaments following the season. These tournaments help the golfers prepare for the fall season, and both Conway and Determan appear poised to have great years for CSUSM. To complement that experience, four new golfers are in school and will compete • for spots oh tournament rosters. Talented freshmen < Ryan Brotman, Kyle Kelch, and Arek Legarra will be on the -competition roster beginning this fall, and junior Markus Wended a transfer student from Sweden, will bring excitement to the squad. ' Betweep the talent that the team brings back froiri last year and the incoming players,, San Marcos has a great season to look forward to. Men's Soccer back on winning track; defeating Biola 1-0 September 22 2006. Coming off i ts first loss since its opening match, the Cal State San Marcos men's isoccer teanf(8-2) quickly righted the ship on Friday, defeating a previously unbeaten Biola squad (41) by a score of 1-0 in what was a tremendous soccer game. Scormg"oppSftunities were few and far between in the tightly contested match. Luckily for CS&S&I, Curtis Marcikic got the Cougars on the board early. Just under 6 minutes into the match, Chris Wyatt controlled a ball in Biola territory. From a sharp angle, he struck a cross to the opposite side of the net, finding Marcikic all alone at the far post. Though the cross handcuffed him, Marcikic managed to redirect the ball into the net with his hip, giving CSUSM an unlikely 1-0 lead That would be all the Cougars' defense wouldneed. After Marcikic's goal, CSUSM managed only one more shot on goal for the duration of the match, but was able to fend off all of Biola's attacks. Cougar keeper Trent Painter was his usual self, barking out instructions to his defenders, making good decisions, and stopping both shots on goal he faced. In the waning minutes of the match, Biola mounted a ferocious charge, nearly equalizing the game multiple times with some hard shots and free kicks that just missed. But despite all this, CSUSM never lost its composure, weathering the storm until the final whistle blew. For the Cougars, Friday's win should be a major confidence builder. The squad was coming off a tough loss, playing on t he^acf and involved in one of its first night games in cold and windy conditions, yet still managed to best a very good Biola* team that entered the game 4-0. Following the game, assistant coach Bobby Renneisen had nothing but praise for both teams; "This was the best team we've faced all year" says Renneisen. "It was just a great college soccer game. It could have gone either way." Renneisen added that Biola has 4 or 5 players with "special" talent. All of this makes the Cougars' performance on Friday even more impressive, and bodes very well for the team's outlook for the rest of the season. After a well-deserved week off, the Cougar men will be in action again when they host a very tough La Sierra squad on Sunday, October 1st. Kickoff is at 3:00 PM, and all CSUSM supporters are welcome to head down to Mangrum Field to cheer on your Cougars! Another close loss for Women's Soccer September 19 2006. Though the Cougar women (1-6) played a tough, close game, the team once again failed to notch a victory, losing 1-0 to the visiting Vanguard University Lions (5-0-1) on Tuesday. Both squads had scoring chances, and CSUSM never allowed Vanguard to establish total control of play. Still, Vanguard held the upper hand for most of the match, out-shooting the Cougars 12-6 with a 9-3 advantage in shots-on-goal. Vanguard tallied the only score of the match in the 20th minute. The Lions' Heather Hutton made a run through CSUSM's defense, finding some space deep in the Cougars' territory. She spotted teammate Rachel Housepian across the box, sliding her a pass that neither the Cougar keeper or defense could get to. Housepian struck the ball into the back of the net, giving the Lions a lead they would never relinquish. Most of the Cougars' opportunities came early on, with forward Clarissa Hidalgo leading the charge. Hidalgo recorded all three of CSUSM's shots on goal for the day, but opposing keeper Marissa Swift let none past. Tessa Smith and Kelly Wherry created chances from the midfield, and defender Lucia Asbury kept the Vanguard offense in check for most of the match. While the Lady Cougars have been playing better as of late, they're still searching for a way to earn a second victory in their inaugural season. They'll try again on October 1st in a game against La Sierra University. The match will kickoff at 1:00 PM on Mangrum Track & Soccer Field, so come on down to cheer on your Cougars! another level.. This year, the team Will feature six active returning players. The squad will be led by senior Jenneil French, and she should shine in her last year as a Cougar. French's drive and determination will help her develop into a player capable of competing at the professional level. Right behind French is junior Çarly Ludwig. Ludwig led the team at the National Championships, finishing in the top 20, which Coach Segura says is just a preview of what this young lady can do. Ludwig, along with French, should lead the Cougars to achieving their goals for the upcoming season. Along with those experienced golfers, new additions to the team include freshmen Irene Atkins (Laguna Niguel, CA), Marissa Reino (Huntington Beach, CA), Adriana Borman (West Covina, CA), and Katiiryn Hansen (Moorpark, CA). They will compete for spots on tournament rosters, and help push their teammates to stay on top of their games. Though last season was a great year for the lady cougars, it is believed that this year's roster is even strppger, and thatthe % team can once again put itself in National Championship contention. �Al &X Ej i ( 1 Tuesday, September 26, 2006 _ ____ THE PRIDE Beck's Oktoberfest BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer Bavaria in 1810 to commemorate the marriage of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.

MMA: Gracie Jui Jitsu BY FRANCISCO MACIAS Pride Sports Writer Enter 3 Freshman. Exit an Officer.

A young Brazilian man once brought an idea to the American media: a dream of making his family's unique style of martial arts the number one style to beat. Unless your last name was Gracie, nobody at that time had ever heard of Brazilian Jui Jitsu, which would later be known as Gracie Jui Jitsu. This was a style .of martial arts where being on your back meant you were in control. The Gracie family felt they could revolutionize the martial arts world. Thfc Gracie's put out a challenge to anyone who would listen, especially those of the Martial Arts world. November 12, 1993, Rorion Gracie introduced the world to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) It was a venue where the Gracie family could showcase their own style of Martial Arts; a no holds barred, 'vale tudo' (anything goes), no rules style of fighting. Unlike the traditional ring boxers and wrestlers use, the UFC uses an Octagon, an eight sided ring linked together by a fence and poles. The main objectives were simple, make your opponent submit or "tap out", knock him out or get knocked out. Two men would enter and only one would leave and go on to the next round. At that time, fighters^ were not well rounded. They only knew one or maybe two styles of martial arts. The first three shows of the UFC fights were dominated by one Gracie. He was Photo courtesy of ufc.com the chosen one, the one who would represent the Gracie family; Royce Gracie. Everyone and anyone who thought they could fight or thought that their style of martial arts was the best were proven wrong that night Royce stepped into the Octagon. For the first 4 years he was the "UFC". Nobody was able to beat "Gracie Jui Jitsu" let alone handle the submissions. After the phenomenon of Gracie Jui-Jitsu took over, everyone jumped on the Jui- Jitsu band wagon. The UFC of today is different then in the Gracie days. Today's fighters have mastered Jui Jitsu and have moved on, adding Muay Thai Kickboxing and Boxing to their arsenal. Introducing Mixed Martial Arts, which in laymen's terms means any style of martial arts that one trains in. Today you can find an increasing number of MMA training facilities gearing up to accommodate all those eager for the challenge of Mixed Martial Arts. l WHBH EZr (760) 744-3732 Carlsbad (760) 929-0875 .»SÄ i tmiifiiii in mffflHEdap &\1 DAPHNES» Monday ¡Vite Macinerò Tubù.

Parked in the VIP parking section, at 1 p.m. there were not very many cars or people. The wind was knocking people and tents over, but didn't stop the heat. Unfortunately by 3 p.m. there were already people who were not going to see the concert because the melting heat had already gotten the best of them. A word of advice: to fend off dehydration, always bring a bunch of water to hot concerts. To my surprise, the parking lotfilledup within the hour and even more so as the show went on. After enjoying the pre-concert tailgate with other fans and blasting music in the parking lot, we made our way to the gates of the Hyundai Pavilion. Atreyu was the first on stage. We were only able to catch the closing act of their show since the lines to get into the concert were filled with intoxicated people who just slowed the rest of us down. Lines for food, shirts and other merch were extremely long; but none matched up to line of the ATM machine. At every break between bands the machine would have over fifty people waiting. After Atreyu, Buckcherry took the stage. Their lead singer, with his head full of firecolored hair, conversed with the crowd as he sang, though at times he seemed to talk a little too much during his songs. Since it was still in early in the afternoon, there were no lights for his set, just videos of him singing along on the huge screens placed above and to the sides of the stage. Up next was Rise Against. They really got the crowd involved, egging them on and telling stories, graciously thanking California for supporting the Chicago-based band. Their music was clear and executed well. The band moved about the stage in a nonchaotic manner and seemed to be relaxed. 30 Seconds to Mars marched onto the stage with red and white flags, numerous fans, and covered faces. The show they put on was not very complex and focused almost completely on the lead singer, Jared Leto. Leto talked a lot about how he was once like us, the crowd, and would sneak up to the front. Instead of just playing his music, Leto encouraged people to get as close as they could and just not get caught. During t h e _ first song, you couldn't even hear him sing. Then Leto that hung from the light racks just to tell the audience what a great view it was; they only yelled for him to jump off He didn't. Papa Roach stole thè stage. Jumping with enthusiasm, literally, he got the crowd to get out of their seats, sing along and rock óut. They sang songs from their newly-released album that came out last week and went through different songs only to end with three classic songs from their first album. They had a great attitude and understood how to make the crowd happy. Avenged Sevenfold was the next band up and had a little trouble. The singer blew out his vocal chords while making their new album that should be released soon, so while he was singing at the concert it was hard to hear him. They played the music louder than he could sing so the difference in his damaged voice could not be heard. Even so, it was still a good show. However, the almostnaked dancing girls around them were more repulsive than attractive. They looked more like they were having spasms than dancing, and it really took away from the show. After a long pause, Muse stole the stage and blew away the competition. People around me gasped, as they had never, heard of Muse before and were in awe of their talents. Lights blazed and the band played like no other. There was no useless talking like other bands had done, they just played one song into another. Their musical style is very unique and amazing in concert. The singer not only sings but also plays the guitar and the piano many times in one song. The band only has three members. They were amazing and put on a show that had people in the crowd, including my husband who had never heard them before, saying they will go see this band again. Alice In Chains and Guns 'N Roses put on a very good show. I was amazed at how much the new singer for Alice In Chains sounded like the old one. As for Guns N Roses, although it was just as good, I wish I would have been able to see the original band. It just wasn't the same as it would have been to hear the GNR we all remember. But a good rock show. it was all in all 1 band really contribEach all, and it was apparuted their people who worked ent that concert got involved at the looked out for the and really who came to see the p eople like those who got dehymusic, early on. drated S APA i r?

Lucky for us, the mojito has found its way out of Cuba and into our hearts as the new "it" drink. With its magical mixture of rum, lime, mint, and sugar, the mojito (which means "little spell") has entranced the American cocktail-drinking public with its simple, refreshing flavor.

Sound like fun? You bet it is! The thrilling cardiac-arrest inducing roller coaster ride that is "Crank" comes highly recommended by this reviewer. Not having been to a movie in a few months and having heard my father rant and rave about thisfilm,as well as a plethora of my guy friends, I was fairly skeptical upon entering the miovie theater to see afilmthat critics have pigeon-holed as a "guy flick." "Is this really going to be worth the $7.50 for the ticket and the $4.25 for the Mr. Pibb I just shelled out?" I thought as I walked through the vacant theater. Having missed the credits entirely, my friend and I entered the stadium just as Jason Statham (from "The Transporter") woke up from his "Beijing Cocktail." What ensued next was 85 minutes full of mind-blowing (literally in some parts) action—we're talking all-bets-are-off-don't-trythis-even-if-you-do-only-have-onehour-to-live gnarly stuff—not to mention plenty of blood and gore and a fair share of profanity and scantily clad women. Chev Chelios (Statham), a professional hit man who is poisoned by a sleazy rival gangster, Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo), opens up the movie with the discovery that he's been injected with a lethal Chinese toxin and only has one hour left to live. Poison blocking the adrenal receptors in his body, the only way Chelios will hope to stay alive in the movie is to constantly keep adrenaline pulsing through his veins. This being the case, he resorts to insane methods of keeping his adrenaline pumping, and I can't imagine anyone attempting the outrageous stunts that Chelios pulls off in "Crank." Ever. Period. I won't ruin the plot or any of the pants-wetting action scenes for you if you do choose to see it, but I will say "Crank" delivers your money's worth and more. Next time you find yourself reaching for a can of Redbull or Monster, put it down and head to your local theater to see "Crank" It'll cause more adrenaline than you can handle to pulse throughout your body. "Crank" will have you up for days. Image courtesy of Lionsgate Films � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Masks or no masks, it's that time of the year again, and students campuswide are gearing up and getting ready for the annual excursion. Last year, only days before the dance, ASI sold out of the 500 tickets they had available. When they reached their maximum capacity at the HardRock Café in La Jolla, they simply decided that one dance a year was not enough and later held the first ever Spring Fling. This year, in order to meet the demand of the student body, ASI moved the event to H.O.B. in the Gaslamp. ASI Coordinator of Student Activities, Sara Gallegos, saysi "We expect to sell out at 1,000 tickets." With less than one week left before the ball, 755 tickets have already been sold at the rate of lt)0 tickets per week. Gallegos believes that the Masquerade Ball and other events put on by ASI are growing ever more popular as enrollment increases along with the higher number of younger students attending CSUSM. Although the H.O.B. has a restaurant, students and their guests will occupy the music hall and bar. ASI recommends that students eat at the surrounding restaurants.

Tuberculosis: Edgar Allen Poe died from it. Nelson Mandela lives with it. And last week at San Diego State University, a foreign exchange student living in the dorms was diagnosed with it. Although most people believe he contracted the disease overseas, it does not take much for tuberculosis to spread. TB is spread through the air from sneezes, coughs, and even from just talking with a person face to face. Symptoms of tuberculosis include an unusual feeling of weakness, weight loss, night sweats, coughing, and chest pain. Ultimately, those who are at higher risk for Image cöurtesy of contracting the versapharm.com disease are people who share the same breathing space with those who have TB. But j ust because someone is infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis, does not mean they will contract it, only 10% of individuals develop the actual disease. If individuals do not develop the.disease, the tuberculosis bacteria strain remains dormant in their system. Some individuals are not capable of fighting off the infection which causes the bacteria to grow. As a result, these individuals eventually develop active tuberculosis and experience the ailing shortcomings of the chronic disease.

ÌCF will do this with the help of volunteers, CSUSM students, and their AIDS in Africa tent. The twenty-foot long tent, on the grass in front of the library, will display pictures the fever of adults and children in Africa living with AIDS. CSUSM students will stand in front of the tent and welcome people inside where they will be given headphones to listen to testimonies of people who have suffered from AIDS. As they listen, they will have the opportunity to view pictures in the surrounding tentt. Upon leaving the AIDS in Africa tent, students will be given a stamp on their hand that declares them HIV positive or negative, pertaining to the statistics of people who have AIDS in Africa. IFC's mission is to experience God, and change the world. Their mission for the tent is to have CSUSM students respond economically, politically and spiritually. They hope the emotional impact will cause the students to react in any way they can, whether it is raising funds, writing letters to senators, or praying to God. Ultimately they want each student to ask themselves one question: How can I take action?

For those living in close proximity to one another, such as in the dorms on campus (where most apartments have six roommates to an apartment), the best way to prevent tuberculosis is to keep the apartment well ventilated. A PPD skin test is the easiest way to detect the TB infection or the TB disease in an individual. If an individual tests positive for the infection, chest X-rays would be required for a doctor to see if the disease caused any permanent lung damage. Even if an individual has the TB infection, they cannot spread it to others. However, it will be easier for them to develop the TB disease in the future. For those who have the inactive TB, the best way to kill the infection is to take Isoniazid or INH antibiotics for nine months with one pill a day. Those with the TB infection or disease must participate in regular checkups for the rest of their life. Infected individuals would then take a course of INH antibiotics. After treatment there is a less than 1% chance that the individual will develop the TB disease. cepts that ultimately lead to a healthy lifestyle and can prevent tuberculosis among other diseases. They are familiar to us as the otfe piece of advice we hear over and over again: adequate amounts of sleep, continuous exercise and a healthy diet. With today's modern medicine and technology, people can live their lives with the TB infection or disease.

For example, I wanted to know what the "check digit" was regarding the vehicle identification number (VIN) for my car.

However, one problem currently facing administrators is making new students aware of its availability here on campus. / Students currently studying a foreign language on campus are encouraged to stop by the LLC, because of the wonderful help provided by its tutors.

After all, "It's Free!" says Michael Hughes, CSUSM Assistant Professor of German and Spanish. Hughes also encourages his students to go to the Language Lab and get help from the tutors on their papers and homework. Another student, Randy Saldivar, a senior and President of the Kamalayan Alliance, raves about the LLC tutors: "Peter Vu was a great help to me when it came to understanding and practicing my Japanese." It seems that the general consensus is that the tutors are truly helpful at the LLC. Interestingly enough, the LLC contains many computer workstations that vary from televisions and cassette tape players, to interactive computers with built-in specialized language tools. The language tools are pivotal in facilitating the correct applications of language translations. The translating capacity and Photo by Nocholas Vandeusen / The Pride Language Learning Center located in University Hall Rooms 240 and 260. degree of specialization the LLC offers could mean the difference between an "A" paper and a "C" paper. One final note about the technology in the LLC is that it contains a "vast variety of audio and visual equipment that help out with students' learning experience of a foreign language," says Saldivar. "Lastly and maybe most importantly, is the fact that the collaboration between CSUSM professors and the LLC staff is what really makes the LLC advantageous to CSUSM students. To create a more conducive learning environment for students, professors such as Hughes, implement lesson plans that integrate tutor participation during specific lectures. Another objective the Centers for Learning and Academic Support Services (CLASS) has is to centralize the many student-based services here on campus. Located in Craven 4107, Senior CLASS Director Lorena Meza affirms that, "We are here to support our students by providing them with the resources necessary for academic excellence." Promoting the edification of his peers, Lewis adds, "I [would] definitely recommend it to other students."

On the course, their only tournament win came in the Region II Championships against three other teams with mediocre talent. Off of the course, the team was withcpt Coach Fred Hanover, who was dismissed from his position. Things started to turn around towards the end of t he season last year when the women were able to place fourth at Nationals. The momentum continued during t he summer when Hanover was brought back to his role of bead coach. Last week, the Cougars continued the good news as they opened their 2006 season with a victory at The Grand Canyon Fall 'invitational in West Phoenix, Ariz. ^ "It feels fantastic,*? says Hanover. "They did everything necessary t o, have a successful tournament." As a team, the Cougars shot 609, which was 11 shots less than second place team, Southern Nazarene (620). The winner of the individual tournament was CSUSM Senior Jennell French, her first win since the 2005 Cougar Classic. French managed to finish her two round total with 146 (73-73). "I've been working very hard," says French. "It's impressive that we all came together as a team." Men's C.C. Takes 4th at Riverside; Meija Shines Again According to French, her last three holes were the highlights of the tournament. "I finished birdie, birdie, par, and I was behind the last three holes," reports French. Apparently her performance was contagious to her Cougar teammates. Sophomore Ellyse Siu stood out among her teammates, displaying significant improvement since her freshman year, and finishing fourth with a two^round total of 150 (76-74). "Best performance I've ever had," says Siii. "Everything felt right.", Senior Christina Austin shared 12th place with a score of 156 (79-77), and one shot behind was Carly Ludwig, a junior, with a score of 157 (80-77). Hanover and t he Cougars continue to set their sights on the National Championship for the 2006-2007 year. However, Hanover insists there is much room for improvement before National's in the spring. "Hopefully they will continue to play hard and even better," says Hanover, "I don't even think this is their best performance." Hanover's goals are certainly not lost on the team's performance. "We really have a strong team this year," French says. "Everyone wants to play well, make our school look good, and represent CSUSM." csu The California State University WORKING f OR CALIFORNIA CSU Students and Faculty Deserve the Best CSU students and the faculty at our 23 campuses need and deserve a learning environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that the California Faculty Association did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes: • A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional I percent augmentation f or compensation • Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the number of years from five to four • Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors • No changes to faculty eligibility for PERS retirement • Health and dental benefits above the standard for California and other universities • Attractive lecturer rights • Gradually increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of 4 years they pay the same parking fees as students The CSU hopes these issues can be resolved soon so that our faculty can receive the salary increases they deserve, and our students can continue receiving the quality education they expect from the California State University. For more details please visit the CSU web site at http://wvvwx,aistatexvdu/bargaining~ status/ Though they are just three events into the season, the CSUSM men's cross country team is giving Cougar fans plenty of reason to get excited about the squad's potential to compete at Nationals. At the UC Riverside Cross Country Invitational on Sunday, the men placed a solid fourth place out of 15 teams. This comes one week after they posted a second place finish at San Diego State, and two weeks after finishing fifth in their season-opener at Irvine. In ail; three events, the squad was led by senior Juan Mejia, who appears poised to carve out a place for himself in the program's history. At Riverside on Sunday, Mejia notched his second top-5 finish in three events, taking 4th place. He finished the fivemile run with a time of24:29.40. He was followed by Phil Hoffman, who placed 18th with a time of 25:19.70. Just behind him was Mike Crouch, finishing 22nd. Rounding out the Cougars' top five were Sergio Gonzalez (35th), and Thomas Thys (39th). The event was narrowly won by Southern Utah, who edged out host school U.C. Riverside. Cal Poly Pomona took third place, followed by CSUSM. Below are the full results of the Cougars' top-5 runners, with their place for team-scoring purposes (not including runners who participated individually). Top 5 Cougar Men*4 Juan Meija 24:29.40 •17 Phil Hoffman25:19.70 »21 Mike Crouch 25:30.40*32 Sergio Gonzalez 25:59.50«36 Thomas Thys 26:09.00 Resounding 4-0 Victory over La Sierra for Men's Soccer Coming off an emotional 1-0 win at Biola, the Cougar men won in a much less thrilling, but equally effective fashion on Sunday, coasting to a 4-0 home victory over La Sierra. From the opening kickoff, it was clear that CSUSM (9-2) had the upper hand. The Cougars controlled play throughout the first half, connecting on passes to create scoring opportunities and shutting down La Sierra's offense entirely. The Cougars' back line was impenetrable, with fullbacks Brian Luhrs and Chris Dunckel playing especially strong defensive games. La Sierra could not generate any kind of sustained attack on Cougar keeper Trent Painter; who, with the help of the strong defense, earned his sixth shutout of the season. The 4-0 score would hold up for the Cougars' ninth win in eleven tries this season. The team appears to have rebounded stronger than ever from its last loss, a 2-1 heartbreaker against Vanguard University two weeks ago, as evidenced by its wins over Biola and now La Sierra. The team will carry its momentum into three straight road games, the first being on October 7 at UC Santa Cruz. �Tuesday, October 3, 2006 OPINION THE PRIDE Jock talk w ith Josh: "T.O." BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Sports Writer Who said Terrell Owens doesn't care about other people? He nearly made me happy with his "accidental overdose" on September 26. I can count on one hand the number of people in sports that I don't like to write or talk about; Terrell Owens is one of those people. The reports of his "accidental overdose," which he talked about last week, were the final straw for me. Owens likes the spotlight. Who doesn't like the spotlight? I know I love it, but I know I wouldn't go to the lengths that he has gone to, to maintain it. Name another star wide receiver in the NFL that has a publicist speaking for him. I think Owens has used a spokesperson more over the past six years than George W. Bush has. Tell me another player in the league that has Deion Sanders stepping outside of hi& home to ward off the media. That's kind of like being a prostitute and having a stripper defend your character. Deion isn't exactly the best person to have in your corner. Name another player in the league that hires unintelligent personnel to mediate that spotlight. There are so many sketchy things around this whole "accidental overdose." First off, I have spent more than my fair share of time in the hospital for various surgeries. I have also taken many different types of painkillers. Before doctors hand out those types of drugs, they make sure they know every other medication that you are taking, so that something doesn't mix wrong and you end up killing yourself. With that said, Owens' claim that his painkillers mixed wrong with supplements that he was taking is something that is not very believable in my mind. He also claimed to have taken extra painkillers the night of the incident. Owens is notorious for monitoring what he puts in his body. The man doesn't drink alcohol or smoke anything. He doesn't take anything in excess, so now he's telling us that he took a few extra painkillers? That doesn't follow his personality. Having a sketchy story to begin with is one thing, but having incompetent people around you is another. Kim Etheredge, Owens' publicist, is quite possibly the worst publicist I have ever seen. While she was fielding questions from the media on September 27, she did so many things wrong. She showed up at the press conference looking completely haggard. She wasn't dressed in business attire and she looked like she had just woken up in a gutter. In the communication business, non-verbal communication is sometimes more important than the verbal aspects (shout out to all my Communication professors). Her job is to get people on Owens' side. Talk about an impossible job. Her job is to not make it obvious that she is trying to get public opinion in her favor, but she failed to do so. She tried way too hard to look like she had been up all night worrying about her client. It doesn't take very long to jump in the shower and dress in business attire. She also ruined it with two statements that stuck out in my head. In the middle of the press conference she said,. "Had this been someone else, this might not have happened." She is referring to this circus not even being a possibility for anyone else in the league. She couldn't be more right, because no one else in the league wants this kind of negative attention. Owens is the only person in the league who doesn't care what kind of attention he gets, just as long as he gets attention. Also, news flash to her, if Owens wasn't Owens then she wouldn't have a job. The second ignorant comment that she made actually occurred as she was leaving the press conference when she said, "Terrell has 25 million reasons why he should be alive." Reminding the public how much money Owens is going to make is not a smart idea, especially when the average person can't even fathom what 25 million dollars looks like. Building a further divide like that is not good public relations. I really despise the media in situations like this. I can't stand E.SPN, because they, along with the rest of journalists across the world, created his enormous ego. "T.O." would still be Terrell Owens, if it weren't for the media. If it weren't for ESPN, Owens wouldn't have an audience for his freak show. The 3 p.m. PST Sportscenter on September 27 spent nearly the whole hour talking about him. It's really sad that ESPN spent pretty much the same time on Owens that they did covering the New Orleans Saints first game back in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. I hope Terrell Owens and ESPN run a fly pattern off a building somewhere.

We got some work to do now. Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You? We need some help from you now," plays in my head as I take the first sip of my Scooby Snack. The Hanna-Barbera produced cartoon, "Scooby Doo," is the inspiration for this tasty treat: the Scooby Snack cocktail. A smooth mixture of Midori, Malibu Rum, pineapple juice and whipped cream, the Scooby Snack is not only a popular choice, but it's the best tasting cocktail I've ever had. In the cartoon, Shaggy and Scooby, known for fending off ghouls and monsters, chow down on Scooby Snacks—which in the show are caramel-flavored cookies—all the time. I'm not sure how such a delicious drink came to be, and earned the name "Scooby Snack," but it's only fitting that we celebrate the mystery-loving spirit inside each of us with the month of Halloween upon us by indulging in the rich and delectable drink. Served chilled in a Collins glass, the Scooby Snack suits just about any occasion. Creamy, sweet and mouthwatering, the whipped cream is the icing on the cake for this mixed drink. A "far out" delight of spectacular measures, the Scooby Snack fits into the category of what the cartoon Scooby snacks were described as: a flavorful, fictional food item of peculiar and uncertain origin. Minus the fictional aspect, the Scooby Snack is all of the above. After doing research on Scooby Snacks, I discovered that i|ot only are Scooby Snacks a Beer trademarked product that Warner Bros, markets as a brand of dog treats and as a human-friendly cookie snack, but that Scooby Snack is also slang for "magic mushrooms" that alter one's state of consciousness. What does this information have to do with the irresistible cocktail, you ask? Well, as it turns out, the name "Scooby Snack" has been used for dozens of other products and consumable materials (beverages included) that are as alluring as they are unexplainable; just as the taste and my experience of consuming a Scooby Snack cocktail was unbelievable, yet simultaneously inexplicable. If only we knew who created the mystifying combination of the yummy elements, then we might be able to shed behind the S cooby Snack and perhaps thank its creator. Until then, I guess the Scooby Snack will remain a mystery.,. N EW!!!

While the overall taste is not unpleasant, it's not particularly complex and perhaps a little sweet for an Oktoberfest brew. The aftertaste is warm, slightly dry and bitter. Karl Strauss Oktoberfest is stronger and darker than their normal brews and while it is not as complex or as bold as some other Oktoberfest brews, the result is a very drinkable beer. Next week we will look at a final Oktoberfest beer for the season brewed in the United States: Samuel Adams' Oktoberfest brew. m 10ft.

Each student listened to the stories of one of three, people. At the beginning of each recording, as the student pressed play, the constant thump of a heartbeat immediately dropped the student into the mindset of Olivia, Steven, or Beatrice. As students walked through a certain path in the tent, a specific map of where they had been placed in Africa would allow them to further develop the mentality of the person's life they were going to experience. Following the voice on the recorder, students listened to the life of the person they had become, and eventually had to enter a health clinic where students were given a red stamp on their hand proclaiming them to be HIV positive or negative. If a student was declared positive, they had to wait for a student pronounced HIV negative to take them by the hand and lead them Photo By Amanda Andreen / The Pride out of the tent.

The posters read: Environmental, Medical, Political, Spiritual and Cultural, pertaining to the five main aspects of Africa that need support. For instance, below Political, the poster asked students to pray for leaders to may make wise decisions about funding and providing support. After about fifteen minutes, the impact of these stories and images had the potential to shake students to their very core. As some students walked out of the tent with tears in their eyes, others could hardly put into words what they experienced. Freshman John Loeh was placed into the life of Beatrice. Loeh said, "It was pretty sad, especially the part where she was diagnosed and had the option to choose to save somebody or not." After she heard the life of Olivia, freshman Shelley Lawrence walked out of the tent with a large red positive stamp on her hand. Lawrence said, "I feel that education is the best way to prevent this. People shun each other because they don't know enough, if people learn about HIV, then it would help." As students walked out, ICF took donations and gave students flyers informing them of letters they could write to local congressmen. ICF also directed students to their website, ivsanmarcos.org, where students can learn more about how to make an impact themselves. Originally, ICF had only planned to display the tent for one week; , but campus involvement with the tent went far beyond what ICF had ever envisioned. Therefore, The Africa Tent will remain on campus until Thursday, October 12. ICF member Jaci Spencer said, "The biggest thing I hope people could take away is this: yes there's AIDS, yes there's rape, yes there's poverty. These are all the issues we've heard about but it doesn't hit home imtil we see it as it is. I want people to know that we can do something about this and that God does care."

Pandora.com evolved from The Music Genome Project that about what each individual song sounds like. Over the past six years, we've carefully listened to the songs of over 10,000 different artists - ranging from popular to obscure - and analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time. This work continues each and every day as we endeavor to include all the great new stuff coming out of studios, clubs and garages around the world," To get started, simply gp to www.pandora.com, and type in the name of an artist or song of interest, then sit back and let Pandora work its magic, Pandora first offers a song from the artist or the song typed in.

I hope that it is a recurring event because the kids really enjoyed it," said Bigonger. Broomball is played in a similar fashion to hockey, except that players do not wear skates, a ball is used in place of a puck, and players use a rubber-tipped broom shaped stick. The Sixth Annual Masquerade Ball finished off Fever Week on Saturday. "The Masquerade Ball is a huge tradition that most of t CSUSM students look forward to every year," says Mathews. "The [Masquerade] Ball took place at the House of Blues in downtown San Diego. The venue was huge and very appealing for our students.

Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock III: the final chapter BY FRANCISCO MACIAS Pride Staff Writer All of those who feel the feud in the Ultimate Fighting Championship between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock should finally tap out, raise your hand. One fighter is already in the UFC Hall of Fame and the other will soon be there—once he decides he is done punishing his opponents. Shamrock left the sport years ago and should have stayed gone. But due to his first embarrassing loss to the younger, well rounded fighter at UFC 40 Vendetta, he came back for another embarrassing loss. At UFC 61: Bitter Rivals, Ken Shamrock thought he was ready to win. There was also huge hype surrounding the fight. As part of the marketing for the fight, the reality television show "The Ultimate Fighter" had two teams competing under the instruction of Ken Shamrock arid Tito Ortiz respectively. At UFC 61 Ortiz rained vicious elbows over the aging Shamrock and the referee Herb Dean stopped the fight at 1:18 in the first round. The fight was deemed controversial because Shamrock claimed that he was okay to continue fighting. It looked like a young punk mugging an old man in the alley. It was sad. That entire fight card was a waste of time and money. It gets better folks; we now have Ortiz/ Shamrock III: the Final Chapter. The only thing exciting this time around is that the fight will be free on Spike TV. UFC President Dana White does not feel that fans should have to pay to see this ridiculous feud once again. I have to admit, I'm a bit curious to see what Ortiz will do this time. Will the Huntington Beach bad boy do his typical ground and pound? For those of you who don't know what ground and pound is, it's when you take your opponent down and begin to unload punches and elbows to their face. It's not pretty, and Tito Ortiz has mastered it. On the other hand, Shamrock is not a chump; he was the man back when the UFC first started. Shamrock used to roll over anyone who stepped into the octagon. However, this is 2006, and Tito Ortiz is no taxi driver walking into the octagon. For those of you who aren't busy on Tuesday, October 10, tune into Spike TV for this "epic" battle. I predict Ortiz will circle Shamrock, tire the old man out and give him the oF ground and pound.

It was only a matter of time before the men won an event, given the team's sparkling performances thus far. That win came on Saturday, in a field that consisted of six teams and 62 runners total. At the very top of those runners was Cougar Juan Mejia, who has been nothing short of amazing this season. Before Sunday, Mejia had already finished second at two events on the season. At this event, Mejia blew away the field, beating the second-place runner by a staggering 4S seconds. His potential at Nationals is definitely something Cougar fans can start getting excited about. Not to be outdone, the Cougar women nearly made it a clean sweep for the teams, finishing just two points behind Point Loma Nazarene. The squad's leaders, Whitney Patton and Bonghabih Shey, came through as usual, finishing sixth and eighth, respectively. Shey, already a star on the track tearn, has really stepped up her cross-country performance this year, and helped the team reach the next level. While the very top runners gave great performances for Coach Steve Scott, just about everyone in Cougar blue ran very well. On the men's side, Mejia crossed the finish line first, but Phil Hoffman was not far behind, finishing third. Ozwaldo Alvarez stepped up his game, taking seventh overall. Leo Elorza, Thomas Thys, and Mike Crouch all finished in the top 20 as well. On the women's side, nine Cougars finished in the top 30 runners, though only the team's top five runners counted for team-scoring purposes. Aside from Patton and Shey, Aimee Bradley had a strong meet, finishing fifteenth. Erin Hearn, Olympia Olguin, and Jackie Maciel were not far behind, taking seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first, respectively. Overall, it was an excellent outing for both teams, and their chances to finish strong at Nationals are looking very good. Coach Steve Scott will take his crew to the Fullerton Invite on October 20 for its final regular-season meet, and then it's off to Regionals on November 4. Below are the full CSUSM results. Individual places are adjusted for team-scoring purposes, which doesn't factor in those runners who weren't attached to colleges.

It found Drummond's foot, and she volleyed the shot into the net to give the Cougars the 3-2 win. Though Drummond accounted for all the scoring, the entire team played a very good game on Sunday. Midfielder Tessa Smith controlled the ball and was able to set up opportunities for teammates, and Randi Leyva created scoring chances throughout the day. On the back line, Alex Quindt played arguably her best game of the season, and Lucia Asbury continued to be very impressive after making the transition from forward to defense. Defender Lica Martinez also played a very strong game. Overall it was a great effort for the Cougars in front of fee home crowd at Mangrum Field. The women will try to keep the momentum rolling on Tuesday, when they travel to take on Claremont-McKenna College to kick off a stretch of five consecutive road games. Defeating ClaremontMcKenna on Road\ 5-2 Women's Soccer Wins Second Straight; Defeats Claremont-McKenna on Road, 5-2 October 3,2006 Though their season got off to .a tough start, the Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team (3-6) appears to be turning the corner. On Tuesday, the squad tallied a 5-2 victory over Claremont-McKenna, its second-straight win. Tuesday's win marks the first ever road victory for the program, and it comes against a Claremont-McKenna squad that entered the game .with a solid 5-3-1 record for ihe season. Thus, the match also marks the team's first victory over a team with a winning record. CSUSM controlled the action for most of the game. At halftime, the Cougars led 10, courtesy of a Lucia Asbury goal. Courtney Drummond, who posted a hat trick in Sunday's game, drew a foul deep in the opponent's territory, and Kelly Wherry took the free kick. She made the most of it, hitting a perfect cross to the other side of the box. The ball found Asbury, and she volleyed it into the top of the net past the helpless keeper. Early in the second half, the Cougars built their lead to 20, with Kelly Wherry involved again - but this time as the goal scorer. The Cougars earned a free kick 25 yards out, and Wherry was chosen again to take it. Instead of hitting a cross, Wherry struck a beautiful shot, curling the ball into the corner of the net past the outstretched arms of the keeper. Claremont-McKenna fought back to make the score 2-1, but CSUSM refused to allow them to equalize, half-way through the second half, the Cougars once again earned a free kick in the offensive zone. Lucia Asbury took it this time, but found Kelly Wherry in the box. Though she didn't hit the header she intended, Wherry managed to deflect the ball into the net for her second goal of the game. Not long after, the Cougars pushed the score to 4-1. Defender Alex Quindt hit a ball over the top of the defense, connecting with forward Clarissa Hidalgo. Hidalgo struck a nice right-footed shot into the low corner of the net to give the Cougars a three-goal lead. After Claremont-McKenna scored on a free kick of their own, the Cougars once again answered, removing any doubt about what the outcome of the game would be. Clarissa Hidalgo was responsible again, joining Kelly Wherry as two-goal scorers for the game. After receiving a routine pass from Tessa Smith, Hidalgo stood a-full 35 yards awayfromthe goal, where she launched a rainbow shot towards the net. The shot caught everyone off-guard, including the opposing keeper, who couldn't prevent it from sailing over her head and into the net. The 5-2 score would hold up, giving the Cougars another muchneeded victory. In what was by far their most impressive showing on offense all year, the Cougars nearly matched their cumulative season total for goals scored, which stood at six before Tuesday's game. Still, Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisen was quick to praise the team's back line. Fullbacks Lucia Asbury, Annica Perez, Alex Quindt, and Lica Martinez played a terrific game, limiting Claremont-McKenna's opportunities and never allowing them to cut deeply into the Cougars' lead. With the squad playing its best soccer yet, they hope to keep the momentum rolling through four more consecutive road games. Next, the squad will head up to Santa Cruz to take on U.C. Santa Cruz on October 7, then Menlo College the following day. p �BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer Last weekend, following the brilliant advice from my girlfriend, we ditched all responsibility, packed our bags and departed north at 4:00 a.m. to spend what would turn out to be one of the most unforgettable weekends of our lives surrounded by one of Nature's most incredible landscapes. Yosemite: one of the few places on Earth that defies explanation. To describe it in words is to insult it. Even with the accompanying photos, the sheer magnitude and splendor of the place is lost. If you haven't been, go. If you have only been once, go again. If you are one of the lucky few to have visited multiple times, let this story encourage you to go again. To some, an eight hour drive (one way), 150 dollars in gas (less than three dollars a gallon!!), and 20 to 400 dol- lars a night for lodging, all for 36 hours of distraction may sound ludicrous. To others, it is just the cure for a life filled with monotony. Whether you're smitten and in love or single and unattached, a trip to Yosemite—even for as little as two days—can be one of the most memorable journeys of your life. So, if it's renting a beach cruiser and gliding along the valley floor surrounded by towering granite mountains, hiking up the back of Half Dome to see one of the world's most breathtaking views, or getting attacked by fearless raccoons as you eat your overpriced pizza and indulge in a well-deserved drink after a long day in paradise—your tinje spent in Yosemite will be short lived and long remembered. To all you fellow Cougars: take this writer's advice and spend at least a weekend escaping in Yosemite, you won't regret it. �fidfe B tfeteff B ohemians ( 8 ^MBMMHI _ >-;• r i u f t i e $10; ; i . » • . v.. l o s Tycaoes •••••I Shankar (8pm llCSb $34-36) { Spro C e n t e r for t h e A rts,.Esoondido $24-57} •iSm FieWHoii^l' •pi ' RANCH* • CSpm House o fBIues i $1&~$20) 111 ¡ ¡¡I¡ill v^s'i^M-i',; it- 'miiiM-¿.j/• San Marcos West (760) 510-1997 i pätetoSante! j �10 Tuesday, October lO, 2006 10, OPINION V/l T H E P RIDE AIDS : COMPASSION IN A FRICA "The AIDS Crisis: Can you survive the journey of a child?" Intervarsity Christian Fellowship As dusk arrives and the orange sun disappears behind the cloudy sky, I walk through Palm Court on my way to begin my AIDS experience. Unsure of what to expect, and fairly confident that the contents of the tent will have a significant impact on me, I've brought my younger sister along with me to share the experience. Friendly and encouraging students from Intervarsity Christian Fellowship gather near the entrance of the tent waiting to greet us. We are handed headphones attached to a small media player, and a lantern to lead us through the night-filled tent. "Wait in front of the curtain" we are told. My sister goes in first. She steps behind the fabric wall and quickly vanishes into the caverns of the tent, only her silhouette and the diluted lantern light can still be seen. I step in front of the beaded curtain and turn on my headphones. Sounds of a bustling street, voices, and animals—all sounds of Africa surround me, call to me. I am instructed to go into the next room. It is empty. I sit down and I can still hear the noises of Africa dancing around me, I think I can even sense the various smells of Africa wade through the room. A voice comes on. It is a man. His name is Jalima, he will guide my journey tonight, he tells me. Walking into the next room I find myself in front of three curtained doorways. There is a name on each doorway, as there is a name printed on my media player: Beatrice. The voice of Beatrice starts to speak. I cross through Beatrice's entrance and without realizing it, I am transported into an entirely new world, taking on the mindset of Beatrice. Immediately I am introduced to Beatrice's life. She is seven and lives with her older, pregnant sister. Both of her parents died when she was younger. A series of pictures are in front of me, giving a face to Beatrice's name and her fragile voice. Images of poverty and disease, sorrow and despair, line the makeshift walls. I proceed through the maze of Beatrice's life and stop before 3 map. "You live in Zambia," Jalima tells me. I read the map and learn that Zambia has a population just over 11 million people. 1.2 million of those inhabitants are orphaned children, and 1.7 million of the entire population is HIV+ or has AIDS. As Ifinishreading statistics about Zambia, I slowly move into the next room. I am now standing in Beatrice's home, a small, oneroom hut. Dirty dishes, ragged clothes and dirt-tattered blankets are strewn about on the ground. I turn around and I can see a picture of her sister. "You're excited because your sister is going to have her baby today," Jalima tells me. Before me is a poster with pictures of teen mothers, primitive tools and abandoned babies. In red letters are the words "Maternal mortality." All of the sudden there are screams and wails playing into my ears. There is a constant cry of an infant, but the background cries are different. "Something is wrong," Jalima says. I stop and find myself searching the images and the imaginary scene in my head for an answer, "Your sister has just died in child birth," he answers. "No! She can't!" I silently yell to myself. The sound of a crying baby carries me into the next room. "Your sister had a baby girl. They have named her Myriam," he states. "But no one is claiming her. Your grandmother says she cannot afford to feed another mouth, and Clockwise starting with middle picture on left-hand side: *The room displaying Olivia's living quarters was just one of three displays students were able to view. *For each student's AIDS experience, they received a hand stamp corresponding to the HIV test results o f the person's life they experienced. *l received a negative result; my sister received a positive result. *After being diagnosed HIV positive or HIV negative, students continued their journey into a waiting room filled with hundreds of photos of people with HIV and AIDS. *At the end of their journey, students were encouraged to make a bracelet to remember their experience by. your other relatives are beginning to back away from the infant," explains Jalima, a tinge of sadness weighing behind his voice. "You stand there in silence " he tells Beatrice, just as I stand there listening in silence, "looking at the tiny baby nobody wants." What would you do if you were Beatrice? You stand there, the silence continuing to grow, until something inside of you aches, and you say, "I'll take her." How different would your life be? Only seven years old, orphaned, now with a baby? You have no mother, no father, no sister, no one at all except this tiny new life you have in your arms. No one wanted baby Myriam, and now this baby needs you more than you've ever needed anything. "The days go by and Myriam will not stop crying," Jalima continues. "You have no food to give her and no way of getting food. Each day gets harder and harder watching the other children in the village run and play and attend school. They used to be your friends, and that used to be you. You rummage through the streets, scavenging for food and water for you and little Myriam. You try to go and work and do small things to earn wages but Myriam doesn't like to be away from you. She doesn't like to be left alone, and she cries incessantly when you don't hold her." "Somehow, you and Myriam manage to survive for two years, you cannot believe it," he says. "But Myriam is so undernourished that she cannot sit up on her own even though she is two years old, and now her fingers, toes, and eyes have become infested with fleas and open sores. You do your best to wash her sores as often as you can, but you have no clean water and wiping her eyes only makes her cry more, and the pus infecting her eyes just comes right back after you wipe them. Poor Myriam; you're not sure how much longer she will be able to survive, and the last two years have taken a toll on your body as well. Weak from starvation and taking care of Myriam, you have Continued on Next Page �THROUGH E XPERIENCE PHOTOS BY A MANDA ANDREEN / the pride Continued from Previous Page j ust about given up, until one day you meet a new woman. You can see in her eyes that she is nice, and she offers to take care of you and Myriam," Jalima rejoices. The next room has the words "Health Clinic" and an arrow in yellow lettering painted on the wall. "Beatrice," Jalima tells me, "because your sister had HIV, and because your mother had HIV, we - . itive or HIV negative." The health clinic is a small room with three wooden benches. Long white bed sheets hang against the walls and there are large positive and negative signs stamped in red on the sheets above the benches. My sister sits across the room from me. We are instructed to wait. We will be told whefi it is time to get up and receive our test don't know if you and Myriam results. My sister goes first, gets her test results arid then leaves the room. A few minutes later it is my t urn. Not knowing her results, or even if I myself will be HIV positive, I stand up and walk towards the window. The clerk asks me i T Photographyr by have it or not If your sister A manda A ndreen apc a n c ein onto0U yriam, there is assed M uC / TU / ine P 'rip rriue ^ y° W have gotten y 0U wiped her open sores.

I place my hand on the windowsill, and he presses the stamp into my flesh. He l ifts it up for me to see the results^ Negative. I can't believe it. A fat, red, negative sign stretches across the width of my fist. Jalima tells me to proceed to the waiting room. He warns me that there might be Lanterns in one hand, and holding each other's hand with the other, we stop in front of a prayer wall. There are hundreds of prayers: prayers for healing, prayers for grace and understanding, prayers for forgiveness and love—and for a cure. A tear falls off my cheek as I set my lantern down to write a prayer. Pinning it to the wall, I am overcome with many questions, like why does there have to be so much suffering in the world? So much pain? Why is a whole continent dying from this horrible four-letter disease: AIDS? Just why? More importantly I was left asking what can we do about it? How can we stop it? And how can we help? Through my whole journey that night in the tent I felt compassion for Beatrice, and tried to contemplate what her life must have been like. How would I have kept faith in the face of such disparity? How did she keep her -faith? I guess all I can come up with for the millions of people affected by HIV and AIDS, for the millions of people dying today in Africa, the millions who have already died, and for the millions of people who feel compelled to do something about it, is that there is hope. The Africa Tent is just one way offering hope. There are dozens of organizations out there trying to save Africa and all it takes is one moment of your life to dedicate yourself and your heart to such others who have just a cause.

Letter to the editor: Where's the remberance for 9/11 September 11, 2001 was a tragedy that affected the whole world. It changed life as we know it. O ut innocence was lost as we watched planes barrel into the World Trade Center buildings, as well as the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. We watched with horror as thousands of innocent civilians found themselves in a situation that was far beyond our imaginations. People who felt they had no other option jumped to their deaths from 80 stories high. Heroes ran into the buildings without thought to save as many people as they could. The best in human character was brought out as well as the worst. In our local community, schools and businesses closed. Friends and families gathered together. We tried to find ways to handle the rush of emotions we were all feeling. Many of us begged, hoped, and prayo^for people to be pulled out alive from the rubble. Sadly, more were found dead than alive. Five years later, we as Americans should not allow ourselves to forget the catastrophe that occurred that shook us all to the core. As an active student on this campus, I am appalled that this sacred day was not remembered by our college campus or its leaders. I have been a member of Alpha Chi Omega for the last three years, and have been aware of ASI and other campus events throughout this time through other involved peers. I am now a graduate student finishing my teaching credential. My cohorts sat in class all Monday and they looked to me to find out if anything special had been planned for this day. Sadly, I had nothing to report on. A special edition of The Pride was not ¡published, a time of remembrance was not observed, and our precious University Hour was not utilized to bring our community of learners together and honor those that perished on September 11th. I picked up a copy of The Pride on Tuesday to see if anything had been written and I find at the very bottom of the front page a small rectangle stating: "We Will Remember 9-11-01." Then I turned all the pages and found the largest, article about alcohol and Mexican food without any other mention of September 11. How is it that margaritas and burritos deserve more words in our paper than those names of lives that paid the ultimate price? One semester a student organization put crosses in the grass to the east of Kellogg Library. Each cross represented soldiers that had passed away in the war following 9/11.1 assume that this was a form of protest against the war. However, nothing was done in remembrance of the 2,749 innocent victims that died five years ago! I hope that in six, ten, and even twentyfive years down the road, this University will remind the future youth of this world about the tragedy that happened. Youth need to be taught that we cannot allow something like this to happen again. This college claims in its own mission statement that it "exposes us to issues and traditions of the United States and other countries." The tradition of American patriotism and how this attack affected other countries as well as our own was completely ignored on 9/11/2006. "To be responsible men and women we must examine the moral and ethical issues^' (University Mission Statement) that led up to that day, and helped us survive the loss of human life. "This history is affecting our present and will continue to have a lasting affect on our future. We need to understand the human behavior, culture, values, and institutions" (University Mission Statement) that allowed fellow human beings to commit such horror. I am writing this to vent, but I also want answers. Why did the President of this University not arrange a campus-wide moment of silence? Why did The Pride not publish a list of names of those that were killed? Why did ASI not organize, a remembrance activity during University Hour? Why did the college staff not unite and allow individual classes tofindappropriate ways of honoring this day? Why was our American Flag not even lowered to half-mast? Why was this day completely ignored by our California State University? I, as well as cohort 77 and Alpha Chi Omega, and the rest of the student body of this university deserve an honest answer to describe such senselessness. In regards to the daily position of the American Flag, Section 7.e of the United States Flag code states that: "The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs" (emphasis added). Unless we have misread this code, the flag's positioning should be altered permanently and immediately to be in compliance with federal law. Completely Disappointed, Ashley Campbell Member of Alpha Chi Omega Graduate Student and Alumni Letter to the editor: ASI's Alumni masquerade refusal My name is Raul Montero, I am an alum from Gal State University San Marcos I am writing to you because I am very disturbed and upset regarding how Alumni are being treated by ASI. I have been going to Masquerade Ball for four years now, one year as an alum. To me this is tradition, and [the] Masquerade Ball is like Homecoming for CSUSM. I have been trying to get to the ASI office before it closes at 5 p.m. a few different times, [but]for a working professional it can be very difficult to get there by that particular time. Each time I was only late by two tofiveminutes and ASI was closed with nobody inside. I decided to call the ASI office to see if there was someway to arrange one single ticket for myself to the Masquerade Ball. When I did call, a message was relayed to me by the receptionist at ASI. The message was that Alumni are not allowed to purchase or obtain tickets for the Masquerade Ball. First of all, I have been to Masquerade Ball before as an alum and did not have trouble getting a ticket. So is this a new rule or is [ASI] just flat out lying to me? Second, is this how the school treats its own Alumni? By telling alumni that they are no longer allowed at CSUSM functions since they aren't a student anymore? I am sorry, but this is an outrage. I have never felt like I have been treated with such disrespect before in my life. If anything, Alumni should be at the top of the list, seeing that it is difficult for them to obtain tickets to the dance because most alumni are working professionals. Is this what we are telling prospective students? Sure, attend our school, but once you are Alumni you are no longer welcome? I honestly feel like the school has spit in my face; and at the same time the school is asking me for monetary contributions to CSUSM. I really hope The Pride feels my concern and shares it with the entire student body, because it seems to be the only organization on campus that isn't spitting in the face of the Alumni. Raul Montero jpÈÉJMtì^^ The Pride reminds you to: We CAN make adifference! T o R e g i s t e r t o VÖte 3 p Ä ^ | ^ M S « t y . c a ^ ^ Ä e r s / E n g / E r e g . h t m r �Drink of the Week Mapl£ Macchiato BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Here at The Pride we like to be as accommodating as we possibly can to the CSUSM student body, and it has come to our attention that for some of you, drinking just isn't your thing. That is totally fine by us, so instead of doing our usual thing and telling you about our new favorite alcoholbased mixed drink, we've decided to shake things up a bit and venture into uncharted territory for this, edition of Drink of the Week. So, if you aren't of age yet, are taking a week off from the bars to detox, or just enjoy reading what the drink of the week is, then read on my friends, read on! For those ofyou Starbucks aficionados out Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride there, this DotW is right up your alley. And for those of you who are anti-Starbucks or have never experienced a Starbucks drink, the new line of autumn-inspired drinks at Starbucks might just tickle your fancy. Along with the seasonal pumpkin-flavored lattes, Frappuccinos and crème drinks, there are also new maple syrup flavored drinks available. This week's latest discovery is the new Maple Macchiato. And when I say "new," I'm mean it is just within the past week that this syrupy delight has invaded the decorative chalkboards hanging on the walls of Starbucks Coffee Company Stores nationwide. What is in a Maple Macchiato, you ask? Well, if you've ever had a Caramel Macchiato, it's pretty similar; just subtract the caramel and add maple syrup and you're set. For a 16 ounce Maple Macchiato (also known as a Grande), your local barista would start with three pumps of maple syrup, then add steamed milk, two shots of espresso, a scoop of foam, and maple drizzle, and viola! Your very own Maple Macchiato. I will warn you though—the Maple Macchiato isn't for amateurs. It's kind of like drinking pancakes, and it's really just like drinking maple syrup. Personally, I wasn't too crazy about it; I think I'll stick with my Caramel Macchiato, thank you very much. But if you've ever gone to Denny's and wished you could combine your Pancake Slam breakfast with a hot cup of coffee, this drink is a match made in heaven for your taste buds. A little bit of the Maple Macchiato goes a long way, so as with many things in life, the general rule "less is more" is definitely appropriate to apply to Starbucks' Maple Macchiato. Enjoy! Beer of the Week Samuel Adams Octoberfest BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer For almost two hundred years, the Bavarian holiday of Oktoberfest has been celebrated in countries around the world. Originally created to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig I to Princess Therese SaxeHildburghausen in 1810, Oktoberfest is celebrated with drinking specially brewed beers and traditional dishes in large public tents. This week marks the end of Oktoberfest; the festivities typically last 15 days until the first Sunday in October. That not withstanding, in a continuation of our Oktoberfest celebrations, we will look at another domestic Oktoberfest brew—Samuel Adams Octoberfest brew. While it may be on par with German Oktoberfest brews such as Paulaner or Spaten Oktoberfest-Biers, of the American Oktoberfest beers, Samuel Adams is perhaps one of the best. It hasa beautiful, dark reddish amber, almost pumpkin color to it. It pours with a full fizzy head that lasts for several minutes. The beer's smell is complex, malty and sweet; mixing a caramelflavorwith a bit of spice. In the tradition of Oktoberfest beers, it is darker, stronger and spicier than its year-round counterparts. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is 5.4% alcohol content by volume versus the 4.9% of the typical Boston Lager, and it's slightly darker in color. The beer has four malts: Crystal, Harrington, Moravian and Munich, all of which can clearly be tasted over the hop's profile. It has a rich mouthfeel and a dry but pleasant aftertaste. Samuel Adams Octoberfest is a good session beer, or it can be easily paired with a variety of heartier dishes. It is available from August through October, as a draft and in 12 ounce bottles in six and twelve packs.

Some kind of saving grace to transport you to an alternate frame of mind or sense of being? Well, look no further. Jonny Lang's "Turn Around" is about to alleviate your bout of existential turmoil. With a soulful album of fiery blues, traditional twang, Southern gospel rock and total guitar domina- tion, don't be afraid to give good 'ol Jonny his dues when you pop "Turn Around" into your Discman for a listen or two. "Jonny Lang?!" you're thinking—yes, Jonny Lang. As he proclaims on "Anything's Possible," "don't be deceived, anything is possible." This latest album separates him from his yesteryears, helping him break free from what most of us remember him as: a kid pop-star that broke into the scene around the time of Hanson and the cult followings of boy bands. Keeping that in mind, Jonny's "Turn Around" has inadvertently become the soundtrack for my 2006 whirlwind fall semester at CSUSM. The 15 tracks act as a wardrobe of emotions and memories, each song suiting a different disposition. If it's a pick-me-up or whim of inspiration you need, then "Turn Around" has your name written all over it. Can't stop thinking about that special someone? Then "My Love Remains" is the song your heart is singing. Ever feel like there is something more out there for you and you just haven't been able to put your finger on it yet? "Only a Man" has the validation you're looking for and will sting you with its comfort and truth. The beautiful duet and falsettos created by Jonny himself remind me of a rootsy gospel country hymn, leading me down an imaginative path of self-discovery. Immediately following is the upbeat "Don't Stop (For Anything)" that will get you moving and your soulful rock attitude back in check. I guarantee you'll find yourself rocking out to this one, nodding your head and WORKING FOR CALIFORNIA CSU students and the faculty at our 23 universities need and deserve a learning environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is disappointed that the California Faculty Association bargaining team did not allow its members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes: • • A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional 1 percent augmentation for compensation Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the number of years from five to four • Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors • No changes to ¿acuity eligibility tor PERS retirement • Above standard health and dental benefits totaling $ 120 million per year in contributions by the CSU. This includes $12 million in contributions CSU will pay for health costs for faculty during 2007-08. • Gradual ly increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of four years they pay the same parking fees as students and Michael Buble all have nothing on Jonny Lang. Even if you're still on the fence regarding the strikingly talented Mr. Lang, take my advice and give "Turn Around" a chance. It's time to break free from your listening habits; give that worn out Jack Johnson album a rest and mix things up. What's the worst that could happen? ! for ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ l ^ ^ i r d v.

Eager filmgoers gathered outside the theater, waiting to see the Vancouver-born actor's new film, "Hot Tamale," in which he plays Jude, a jewel thief on the run. Before he was ushered to his seat, I was able to have a word with Priestly, who had this to say to the aspiring actors at CSUSM: "I always feel like the most impor- The Pride's interview with J ason Priestly tant advice to give young actors is to study [and] to stay in school. The one thing that has reaped more rewards for me as a performer is the fact that I took the time to go to theater school and study my craft. The exceptions to the rule are very few and far between, the exceptions being people who got off a bus in Hollywood and were discovered at the counter in Schwab's drug store. But, the reality is that doesn't happen. The most important thing you can do arid the most important respect that you can pay your craft as a thespian is to study and to understand what it is that you're doing. Once you have that k nowledge, you always have that knowledge to , fall b ack o n. The Pride's A&E editor interviews Jason Priestly at the Pacific 15 Theater. There are always times in every actor's career where you sort of find yourself floundering, and you can get lost within the material and not know what to do. But if you have studied, and if you have the knowledge to fall back on, you can figure it out and the path will become clear." As for his own acting education, Jason Priestly studied under Howard Fine and June Whitaker. Starting out as a child actor in TV commercials, Jason Priestly has been involved in at least 36 film and TV projects, including a roc- Photo by Mary Foley / The Pride kumentary he directed featuring The Barenaked Ladies, the popular 90s prime-time soap "Beverly Hills, 90210," and the indie film "Die Mommie Die!" which won the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

An unpredictable combination of canapés, cocktails, and RedBull fueled the enthusiasm of those in attendance. Amongst them were Markus and Mason Canter, otherwise known as The Flying Canter Brothers. The Pride managed to catch up with the highflying directing duo to ask them a few questions. The Pride: Do you have any advice for Cal State San Marcos future filmmakers? Markus: First and foremost, getting to the San Diego Film Festival—it's all about making movies, one movie at a time. You tell a great story. Definitely tell a great story. Mason: Tell something that you know Image courtesy of FCB about, something that you have been emotionally connected to for a while; and be passionate about it. Don't pick something just because you think it's what everybody wants. Pick something that's individual to you. And, if you tell that story, if you get it out to people in a way that connects to them, then your audiences are going to feel it. And it's all about emotions. The movie business is about putting a bunch of moments together that creates an entire feeling [and] tells a story. Our whole thing, what do we say? (He turns to Markus) We always say do stuff that you're passionate about. Get off the couch. Markus: Making a movie, you're going to invest anywhere from a weekend to a few years into making afilm,depending on what you're doing. And if you're going to do that, you want to focus on something that everyday you're going to be passionate about and inspired to keep doing, because after about a month or a year of making a movie - you've spent your money on it, and you've put your time and your heart into it - if you haven't chosen something you really believe in, at the end of the day you're really not going to make a great movie. Mason: Another thing I would love to add is that right now we are so fortunate, because [the] technology that we have today, with cameras like the DVX100A or the new HD, the 200, you can, anybody can, go out there and be afilmmaker.And you can make professional quality stuff. So, it gives you the opportunity to experiment. It's not like back in the day where 16mm was really expensive and you had to rent the camera. Get your hands on any camera you can and experiment until you find your voice and youfindsomething that works for you. Markus: I'll also say that both of us went tofilmschool, so, and this is to whether you went to film school or not, but ultimately what I have seen in the mentors I have had in my life or just the people that have been masters in this craft [is that] it's a lifetime thing. You get better every time you do this. Every time you pick up [a] camera you get better. Every time you tell a story or write something, you get better at it. So [if] somebody starts out and they have a passion for it [and] their first movie [doesn't] quite work out, do it again, because you will get better each time you do it. Mason: If you are lucky enough that there is somebody around that you admire that is already makingfilms,try to learn as much as you can from them. If there's not, then pick who your favorite filmmaker is and leafn everything about them. Whether it's Coppola, Spielberg, or Scorsese, whoever it is that you love, know as much as you can about how they made their movies and how they got to where they are, so that you can learnfromtheir knowledge. The Pride: Do you have a favorite filmmaker? Mason: We have a couple. Markus: Being the fact that we're the Flying Canter Brothers, obviously we love the Coen brothers. The Coen brothers are one of our all-time favorites. Scorsese is [also] definitely a favorite. Mason: Usually I always say Kubrick. Marcus was always really into Kubrick. All my papers in college were about Kubrick because visually he's amazing. Markus: The way he V H B frames every image I love it. g ^ V But there are so many great and I B B amazing filmmakers. It's more • • like what movies—I love this ^ ffik movie from this filmmaker. I B B ^ love that one from another one. And we like a l l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ genres. We're not partial to any one genre. Photos by Mary Foley / The Pride Directors of the film Mason (left) and Markus (right) Canter. We just like telling different stories in different ways, keeping it fresh. The Pride: What made you decide to make "Chasing the Horizon"? Mason: We had written a movie called "Bobby Zero" that we're getting geared up to make, but we did a deal with Effie Brown [Producer Effie Brown, head of Duly Noted Inc.] who produced "Real Women Have Curves;" She won the Independent Spirit Award for that. And when we did our deal with her, we knew that we had a bit of time between the movie she was working on and when we were going to be able to make ["Bobby Zero"]. The great thing about "Chasing the Horizon" is that it's a documentary and in documentaries no one has to give you a green light but you, You can put together a small crew of people, get your friends together, people that you trust that are talented, and go out there [and] find something you want to tell a story about. For us, it just happened to be that we're race fans and this movie's backdrop is the Baja 1000 which is one of the most famous races in the world. [It's] dangerous and grueling, and people try their entire life just to try to win [it]. They will do it year after year, after year, after year. Luckily enough, we met Jeff Lloyd who owns the team, and it was his first year [in the BajalOOO]. We wanted to tell a story that was about a guy who was starting out from scratch, a rookie, someone who Markus: (Breaks in.) This is the underdog story. "Chasing the Horizon" is the ultimate underdog story. It's a feature documentary about a misfit, dysfunctional, rookie offroad racing team. [It follows} one man's quest and dream of win-, ning and finishing this race. Filmmaking is about humanity. It's about human beings. We had never made a documentary and doing a documentary is the ultimate truth. Our bias becomes imprinted on it. But, we went out to make this [documentary] as close to exactly what happened as possible and ultimately that's what we did. We learned so much as directors doing it. You're watching real, live performances in front of your eyes, and you really get to learn what it feels like. So, I think infilmschool, if I was starting infilmschool today and I was having a class, I would have people go out and make documentaries first so [they] can see what reality looks like on film. Now that we're going to go make "Bobby Zero," I can feel reality better than ever, so when I see a performance and someone is performing and it feels like a performance... Mason: (Breaks in.) Our movie never has a moment that feels forced. And I say that really confidently because we spent a lot of time to make sure that everything that was in it was exactly how it went down. We never asked the guys in it, like some reality TV producers [do], "Hey, can you say that line," or, "We need you to fight with that guy." The reason people connect to [our film] is because it's real. And people did connect to "Chasing the Horizon." Thefilmwon Best Documentary later that evening. Expressing both their happiness and their surprise, the Canter brothers were defiantly flying high that night. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bratwurst sausages, lederhosen, and kegs are the traditional makings of an Oktoberfest, and there was no shortage of any of those elements at this year's celebration. Hosted by ASI's Multicultural Programs and the German Club, the animated festivities were held this year in the Library Plaza, with free sausages and a keg of root beer available during University Hour to hungry students. Dressed in traditional German attire, men in lederhosen, and the women of the German Club in dirndls, members of the German Club paraded around campus holding signs for free bratwurst and beverages.

Each session promises women easy to learn self-defense tactics as a method of rape prevention. According to CSUSM student Lisa Lim, the RAD class has proven to reach beyond that goal. Last year Lim participated in the RAD program. She was worried that she wasn't physically equipped and before the class began she asked herself, "Will I be strong enough?" The relevance of body size and physical strength, however, are trumped by the reality based effectiveness of the techniques that women learn during class sessions. By the end of the course Lim fought off people dressed in aggressor suits, with her eyes closed. Lim says, "The i nductor is so positive and encouraging thlS it's easier to feel empowered and it's a lot easier to go through."

This question was one of many asked by €SUSM students last Monday, October 9, at an event made possible by the Women's Center. Linda Savage, a certified sex educator, sex therapist and author joked, "One." The crowd of fifty broke out in laughter; Savage laughed then said, "If you honor and respect yourself, there is no such thing as too many." Before Savage collected anonymous questions on index cards from students, she set out to empower men and women to enjoy pleasure as a God-given right that should not be dictated by anyone else. "Our sexuality is energy," Savage said, stressing what she called a readiness factor that includes the mental, physical, and emotional aspects that factor into having sex. As Savage said, "We are sold an image which isn't true and it is an image how to have 'hot sex.' It's the culture we live in; it's what we are socialized to [believe]." It's an idea Savage disagrees with, the idea that sex is all about having an orgasm. "There's so much more to be experienced than just, quick, let's get off." Savage went on to explain her performance and pleasure model. She asked the crowd about the movies and television they've seen with all the 'hot sex.' Then she said that the majority of sex seen in the movies is based on the performance model and people can reflect what they've seen and worry too much about just having an orgasm instead of having sex for pleasure. "In their heads, they are too worried about the experience and making their partner happy and focusing too much on genitals."

Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride Linda Savage, a certified sex educator, sex therapist and author speaks at event. After passing out flyers to the crowd, Savage read each myth then gave tips for everyone on how to have a healthy sexual relationship with their partners. This advicç included communication, throwing away the performance model and focusing on pleasure, creating a seductive setting together, letting go of preconceived notions and listening to your partner. In all her years of experience as a sexual therapist, Savage said, "The number one role problem is over focus on partner." As for desire discrepancy, she said, "It is the number one problem in couple relationships." Myth number four states; "It's easy to tell who has more désire and who has less desire in a relationship." Savage stressed, "Low desire is Myth#3 Sex should h e natural a n d spontaneous.

One question read, "How often should we have sex?" To which Savage replied, "There is no such thing as a normal amount." "How do we get over Catholic guilt?" another student asked. Savage replied, "Respect yourself, love • ¡«J yourself, [and] don't look for someone to tell you what to do." This led to her advice for virgins. "If any one of you remains a virgin until marriage, I wouldn't even suggest having intercourse that night. Just petting and touching each other." She ended her speech by promoting safe sex to everyone, and said, "To touch, to love, that is sex. You don't have to have an orgasm." W hat is a lawyer? A debater? A fighter? Or more t han that?

C ALIFORNIA WESTERN S C H O O L O F L AW | S a n D i e g o What law school ought to be! �How to get your foot in tho door at law schoo BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer If you're applying for law school for 2007, this time of year may be the most important part of your academic career. You're entering or finishing your senior year, and these last grades before graduation will be most heavily scrutinized by law schools. While applications for law schools aren't due for a few months (application deadlines generally fall between January 1 and March 31), admissions officers and successful applicants know that by mid-October you should be well into the admissions process. "If you want to get accepted to a law school, make sure you've sent your application in before Thanksgiving," is the conventional wisdom for applying to most law schools. Some even claim that Thanksgiving is too late and that late October is when law school applications should be submitted. Unfortunately, in order to have your Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) score delivered before November, you need to have already taken the test. So if you haven't taken it yet, you'll most likely be looking at a 2008 admission date. If this is the case, starting now will help out greatly for next fall. For this year's applicants though, it's almost certain that completing your application as soon as possible will help enormously. Most law schools have rolling admissions, meaning that your application is evaluated as soon as they get it. In these cases they will fill available spaces for the coming year as they read through applications, meaning that if your application isn't in early, it won't even be considered. But even at schools that do not have rolling admissions, applying early will often be in your best interest. Admissions officers will sometimes assume students who apply early have a more serious interest in ¿heir school and give their applications more consideration. This competitive edge can mean the difference between getting an acceptance or a rejection letter. Still, just filling out die forms on time is not the only consideration. There are a few things that can keep even well-meaning and punctual applicants from getting their applications : jjjHltlffl ¡$mñ nj*i tTi < > . . • I m sJL J 1 mêm ¡LASOS« lûmisMm W second-straightfifthplace finish.

Admissions offices are also often overloaded with requests from other students during application periods, so starting the process early is imperative to being successful. Be aware that some schools require you to fax in your request for transcripts or even request transcripts in person, so transcripts should be requested at least a month in advance if possible, to avoid potential problems and delays. At the same time, applicants should be working on gathering their letters of recommendation. It comes as a surprise to some students, but they aren't the only people who procrastinate; bosses, professors and advisors do it too. This means that it is both polite and prudent to give those you ask for letters of recommendations at least a month to write them. Applicants should also give those writing their letters a clear idea of when the letter needs to be completed and sent to the LSAC. It also doesn't hurt to politely remind them about writing your letter of recommendation every so often, to keep it fresh i n their minds. As the saying goes, "timing is everything." If you're behind in applying, there's still time to get things done in time, but it will require a little extra effort to catch up. And for those that don't think they'll be able to get their applications done in Image courtesy of Northern Illinois University time, there's plenty of time to get prepared before next October. in on time: letters of recommendation and transcripts. Almost every law school requires that your LSAT scores, letters of recommendation and transcripts be sent to them by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). While you may be prompt about filling out and submitting forms on time these two items require you to convince others into working inside your deadlines. Compiling undergraduate transcripts can be a surprisingly time consuming task. Applicants should never underestimate the sluggishness of educational bureaucracies, and should plan accordingly.

Scott Conway and Arek Legarra posted solid rounds of 73, and Kyle Kelch and Mike Leonard shot 75. By the end of round one, Cal State San Marcos' team score of 286 gave them a healthy 8-shot lead over the field. Unfortunately, while the Cougars' first round was the best of the tournament by any team, their second was the worst. All five golfers scored higher than in the previous day, including Anderson following up his 65 with a disappointing 80. As a team, the Cougars' took 28 more strokes to get around the course in the second wm** s life round, shooting 314. Day three proved a little better, but CSUSM's score of 307 was not enough to get them back in contention. Scott Conway was able to turn it around through, matching his first round score of 73. His combined score of 223 earned him a tie for fifth in the tournament. The team ended up in fourth, 18 strokes behind winners Point Loma Nazarene University. PLNU won the tournament by just one stroke over Concordia University, and finished four ahead of Cal Baptist The Cougars did manage to finish ahead of CSU East Bay by 11 strokes. Despite the disappointment of losing the lead, the men's team should continue to improve throughout the fall and turn into a major contender by spring. Helping the cause will be the returns of Casey Sartori, Clint McCook, and Matthew Determan, who are all expected to be playing either later this fall or in the spring. The team will next be in action on October 22, at Sonoma State University. It is one of two tournaments remaining in the fall schedule, after which the squad will not compete again until February.

Gerrica Clark Pmimm M i lii Junior Campus Police Team raises over $2,000 for MADD AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer A special event occurred Saturday, September 24, in San Diego County. The event was the San Diego County fundraising walk, "Strides for Change." California State University San Marcos' very own campus police were there and raised $ 2,230 for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Oranization. Moreover, the campus police placed first in the Academic category at the fundraiser. The CSUSM police team is made up of S. Brown, Tina Griffith, Douglass Miller, Deb Schmidt, and Shelley Wicka. Their participation was not only a great contribution to MADD, but the commitment our police team displayed at the fundraiser also supports the CSUSM Police's mission to "build partnerships with surrounding communities, [and] to promote the University's goals and mission." CSUSM Police Department went above and beyond this year, and was able to raise an incredible amount of proceeds, exceeding their initial goal of $1,700. The police team is a perfect example of what a few people can do when they work together. The campus police in coordination with MADD hope to raise awareness and educate the public, especially students, about not drinking and driving. A few tips from MADD if you do plan on drinking: "If you plan to drink, choose a designated driver before going out " Two, "take mass transit, a taxicab, or ask a sober friend to drive you home." Lastly, two tigs that go hand in hand: "report an impaired driver if you notice' one," and "always buckle up; it can save your life." Founded 25 years ago, MADD is a non-profit organization with over 600 chapters nationwide. MADD is not against alcohol consumption, but MADD's mission is to "stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking." Congratulations to our campus police here at CSUSM and their dedication in raising $2,230 for MADD and their cause. Hopefully their appreciated efforts will continue into the future, supporting other worthy organizations.

The Kite Runner: Campus Read stimulates conversation BY SABRINA BAGLEY Pride Staff Writer In his book, "The Books In My Life," Henry Miller writes: "A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold." Recently, CSUSM has implemented a program with that ilk of enrichment in mind. In starting the Campus Read program, it is hoped that readers will form a bond via selected literature. As a result, the formation of the open forum is helping to facilitate discussion between many different groups on campus. Sponsored by the American Democracy Project, it is anticipated that book discussions and the sharing of opinions and ideas about this culturally significant novel will abound between students; faculty, and staff. Fall 2006 s selected reading was "The Kite Runner.": The author, Khaled Hosseini, was born in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1965. This semiM M ? autobiographical novel tells the story of Amir, an Afghan boy from a wealthy family. The story focuses on the impact a single decision can have on one's life. As a child, just before his family moves from Afghanistan, Amir witnesses his friend be brutally raped. Rather than intervene eventually ends up composing his own story. Later, Amir returns to Taliban controlled Kabul to find his half-brother. He finds him to be the sexual slave of a Taliban executioner, who also happens to be the same man who raped his friend. He fights to free his • brother, and they escape back to the United States. While the young man possesses a fragile emotional state, his rescue helps Amir to resolve his deep-seeded guilt. This book has gained world-, wide fame, and locally, was also chosen as Escondido's City Read. It serves as a vehicle for discussion about the historical and cultural issues as presented by Hosseini.

The New York Yankees pitcher In 1994, Lidle was a "scab" was not a very experienced pilot player during the 1994 MLB playand it was not a good day for flying er's strike. He was one of the most successful replacement players, along with Kevin Millar. It took a long time for the MLB community to accept him, but he was a good teammate and eventually won over the people he played with. After tragic things like this, I begin to wonder about the things that led to the incident. I play the what-if game, even though I probably shouldn't. Lidle was traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Yankees at the trading deadline. He brought his plane from his home in Florida up'to New Jersey when he was . traded. Ifhe was never traded from the Phillies to the Yankees, would this have happened? I don't think so, since his off-season would have already begun about two weeks prior, and he likely would have already been in Florida. Of course, this could have happened anywhere. I also wonder, had he not been a pro athlete, would he have had such an expensive hobby. He purchased his small four-seat plane for 187,000 thousand dollars. Many athletes take up golf or buy a business to keep them busy in the off-season, but athletes now are beginning to play with more expensive things, like their lives. Remember Ben Roethlisberger, Kellen Winslow Jr., Jay Williams, and their motorcycle accidents? Fortunately, those guys weie all lucky to live through their accidents and return to their sports. Anyone who flies a plane always says that you're safer in a plane than in your own car driving on the freeway. That may be true, however, why put .yourself in a situation that you don't need to be in? It's nearly essential to drive a t ar, but it isn't essential toflya plane for hobby, especially when you have so much to lose. For a little perspective, here is the most remarkable story I heard on the day of the accident It came from Alan Schwarz, a senior writer from "Baseball America." A week before the accident, Lidle invited Schwarz for aflightin his plane. Schwarz always wanted to fly in one of the planes that Lidle owned, but he declined the invite because he and his wife just had a newborn baby and knew it could be a dangerous situation. Lidle was 34 years old, had a wife and child. Unfortunately, this is what it took for the sports media to stop talking about Terrell Owens, and Alex Rodriguez' postseason struggles.

Jaffe has authored 13 books and a collection of essays. For his performance at CSUSM, Jaffe chose five narratives: "Panther," "Salaam," "Things to do During Time of War,". "Potlatch," and "Monk and Suicide Bomber." "I hoped the [readings] would constitute an informative and even pleasurable grouping," said Jaffe. Each narrative lasted approximately ten minutes. The entire performance lasted almost one hour. Jaffe read most of the material. Mark Wallace, who has been an assistant professor at CSUSM for two years, read major parts as well. Two other female performers read briefly during "Salaam." Travas Rivas, majoring in Literature and Writing and graduating Spring 2008, said he was "absolutely" satisfied with Jaffe's performance. "His reading [brought] a different perspective and understanding you can't get out by reading his pieces," said Rivas. Patrick Ayson supplied music throughout the entire performance which provided a background to the readings. The music really enhanced the performance. "Patrick and I got together and did a little experimenting. I wanted to let Patrick do what he wanted to add a chance vector," explained Jaffe after the performance. "Patrick is a really fine young keyboard player and sound technician, and I think people will be hearing more about him as time goes on," said Wallace. I enjoyed "Panther" the most, the first narrative read solely by Jaffe. In this narrative, Jaffe explains his transition from a panther to a human. Jaffe wore black jeans, a black dress shirt with rolled up sleeves to his biceps, a pair of black-tinted sun glasses, an almost evil-looking full beard, and to complete the ensemble he wore two black leather gloves on each hand. The content w is very intriguing. He describes the surgery required to conceal his true identity as a panther and how he has to keep himself from jumping over the podium and savaging the audience because he still is a panther on the inside, I was almost scared to a certain extent. I felt myself being attracted to another world out of the Grand Salon in the Clarke Field House at CSUSM. I drifted into a fictional world where panthers were capable of con- verting into humans. The style in which Jaffe delivered his performance was very convincing and the music that Ayson created as Jaffe read aloud added to the surreal element and combined to create an overall creepy feeling. The four narratives provided humorous moments as well, and the audience, including myself, let out loud bursts of laughter. Other moments during the readings made me think deeply. The whole performance was very fascinating and thought-provoking. "Overall, I was really very happy with the reading and really look forward to more readings on campus that are coming up. It's great that the school is giving its students an opportunity to hear published authors read form their work, and [I] would like to see this kind of thing happen more often on campus," said Rivas.

If you're a real movie fan, you know this one is a sure thing: Martin Scorsese, a crime tale, and a bunch of Hollywood mantalent. Set in Boston, it's a typical Scorsese blood-and-guts film (think "Casino," "Taxi Driver"). Here's a comparison: it's darker than, but has the compelling story of "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," without the intersecting plot lines and oodles of characters to remember. But it's tamer than "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction," with a more commercial, solid crime-suspense story. In fact, the story is as enthralling as the acting, especially good for someone with a short term memory like me (who sometimes wonders halfway through a film, "Who who, what what?''). Such a person will thoroughly enjoy "The Departed," as the plot is easy to follow, but engaging—I never once wondered how long we had been in the theater, but wondered what the hell was going to happen next: true evidence of cinematic captivation. The story centers on a sort of Boston Mafia, headed by Frank Costello, and the Boston State Police. Costello, played by none other than Jaek Nicholson, picks a young Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) to mentor into his gang. Later, Sullivan enters the police academy and slickly infiltrates the "Staties" Organized Crime Unit as a detective. There he warns "Dad" Costello every time the police are onto him. The only problem is two detectives, Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Digriam (Mark Wahlberg), who place a freshly graduated cop, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), as a Costello infor- mant. Planted in jail and drug deals, Billy wins Costello's confidence and joins the gang. This is when the story gets good. Entirely unaware of each other, Costigan calls the cops on Costello while Sullivan calls them off. Voila, both sides smell a rat. Costigan and Sullivan, one fearing his life and the other his job, both desperately try to identify the other. It goes on like that for a long, satisfyingly suspenseful while. Of course there's blood and stuff, and a love triangle, but I won't tell you who gets popped or who's the baby's daddy or how it-ends., I'm not that rude. Because you are going to see this movie, if only to gawk at Mark Wahlberg (who my husband and I could only refer to as "Marky-Mark") and his bull-cut-damn-near-mullet. Wahlberg also delivers most of the requisite off-color jokes, though they're strewn left and right by the cops and the bad guys so much, they're distracting. Also distracting are the Boston accents. I'm a sucker for even the slightest male Eastern accent, but these ones don't work, even for Massachusetts natives Wahlberg and Damon (whose charming Boston accent was still deliciously intact for "Good Will Hunting"). Still, Damon's is most believable compared to the others, which seem to fade iñ and out; I don't think Leo even attempts his. But Nicholson, predictably, is extremely believable as the half-crazy crime boss Costello. Damon, who typically doesn't play the bad-guy role, does it well because he looks so much like a good guy—the key to being secretly bad. And Leo, fíate to say, is excellent. His portrayal of a stresscrazed police informant/crime apprentice is consistently excellent. I grudgingly admit "The Departed" might have made me á fan. Don't overlook this classic suspense film. Oscar certainly won't. Image courtesy of Warner Brothers �Drink of the Week fall ris p BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer As most apple-lovers well know, apple season blossoms in late September and continues well into November. Though, due to storage techniques available today, apples are available year-round, and for the traditionalist there is really no more appealing time than autumn to enjoy them. Along with pears, peaches plums, and apricots, to name a few, the apple is a member of the rose family, a fact perhaps most beautifully expressed in Robert Frost's poem, "The Rose Family." This healthful fruit, rich in fiber and flavonoids, has long been praised for its ability to "keep the doctor away" and was associated in ancient times with immortality and reincarnation. The apple was also a symbol of love and fertility and often associated with wisdom. Taking all this into consideration, is it really any wonder that Gwyneth Paltrow named her firstborn after this most remarkable of fruits? ^ ^ i l ^ f i | Perhaps, though, even Eve would blush at the vast array of apple recipes modern apple-connoisseurs have at their disposal. Aside from such mainstream favorites as apple pie, apple turnovers, candied apples, caramel apples, and the more exotic delights, such as apple tabouleh and apple risotto, there is the sweetly sinful collection of appleinspired cocktails. One of the simplest apple cocktails is the Fall Crisp. A mixture of 1 to 2 ounces of vodka and 14 ounces of apple cider, shaken in a cocktail shaker with ice and ALESMITH EVIL DEAD R ED ALE Beer of the Week strained into a Collins glass, the Fall Crisp deliciously lives up to its name. It is not only crisp, but it's also sweet and definitely refreshing: By no means a drink one would drink expressly to get drunk, the Fall Crisp will nonetheless produce a pleasant buzz. For a festive alternative, take a walk on the wild side and substitute sparkling apple cider. Either way, it is possible to drink one's apple a day. Live long and prosper.

No, what's so refreshing about The Oohlas is that it's fairly clear it never occurred to band members Olivia Stone and brothers, Mark and Greg Eklund, to shape their sound into a clearly definable genre. Sometimes eletronica, sometimes indie-rock that invokes the spirit of Beck, the band's sound is a combination of loud, toe-tapping riffs and reserved harmonies that contrast in a way that works with the dark subject matter of the album. The ride of the album is spacey. The opening track on the album, "Gone," evokes a topsyturvy feeling reminiscent of the final scene of "The Labyrinth" Float through the perfect harmonies and scratchy guitar riffs; this one is well-worth the ride. The highlight of the album is Stone's vocals, however, which dominate most of the tracks. Her sweet sound on the track "Tripped" belies the song's dark subject matter: "You're aging fast/Your skull is thick/Keep drinking darkness stupid prick/ And I'd rather die than watch you drown/Breathing the dust and shoving coffee down." It's one of the many tracks devoted to what is, seemingly, a story of love lost. "TV Dinner" is another favorite and a true shining moment for Stone. Here she ditches the reserved tone and breaks out mid-track into an accusatory cry of anguish: "I don't know where to go anymore/Why don't you love me?*' The final track is the pinnacle of the album; "The Rapid" has a sound epic enough for a Coldplay single with its steady, building sound. Here the band quietly asserts a claustrophobic need: "There are too many people here/Far too many people near/ I don't want to get too close/It's not healthy." The sound is complex, but here Stone's amiable voice compliments the MiddleEastern rhythm in a soothing DA O Fin?CnrAT R G NO E R DDViirf? T way, a departure from the fastpaced tracks that play before it. It's a joy to listen to—again, despite the subject matter—and a nice finish to our space ride through "Best Stop Pop." Although much of the album is a delight, tracks with one of the two Eklunds on lead vocals fall short. By comparison they seem bland and tired—a sound we've heard before (see Beck Images courtesy of The Oohlas above). Stone makes the difference here, her sharp intonation a truly unique sound from other current albums. Although I give the album four paws, it's probably best suited for those already comfortable with artists a little offbeat. Fans of alternative should find The Oohlas' upbeat tempos familiar, but with an overall refreshing sound and, in a word, different. ; oninbi in nLrt 1 Concert Review BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer An adrenaline-charged and energized line wrapped around the House of Blues last October 6. With a ratio of 15 males to every female, the air was thick with testosterone and heavy with aggressive fury, As eager fans compared notes on metal band trivia, the members of DragonForce could be heard in the dungeon below warming up their fiery vocals, unloading a heavy round of progressive metal thundAs the clock struck 7 p.m., the doors to the dark venue opened, and the mob of DragonForce fanatics charged the floor, Within minutes, hundreds of sweaty fans pounded theirfistsin the air and crowded the general admission floor, causing the overflow of fans to pour into the outlying rooms and stairwells. Hailing from London, DragonForce unleashes a sonic plague of merciless shred and callous metal. Signed to Road Runner Records, the six-piece band released their third album, "Inhuman Rampage," earlier this year. All That Remains, opener for DragonForce, packed up their equipment after a .solid set, clearing the way for the brutal mutiny that would soon blast House of Blues to its core. A fulsome orange countdown timer ticked away as a threedimensional metal backdrop with "In&uer r man Rampage" splattered in large red text dropped down to frame the stage. Grounded by pulsating bass and metal riffage pounding through the walls, the experience itself was no small feat. The restless crowd chanted and stomped, "Drag-on-FORCE! Drag-on-FORCE!" in hopes of awakening the bestial band. A montage of red lights flooded the stage, haunting the shadows of the equipment and blinding inebriated onlookers, ZP Theart, lead singer for DragonForce, jumped onto the raised platform, a large fan blowing his black hair all over, and spat water onto the closest audience members as he roared "San Diego! How are all you mutha-Pckers?!" with his brash British accent. The house went crazy, With an army of guitars locked and loaded, the members of DragonForce prowled around audience members like predators, rioting song after song like "Revolution Deathsquad," and "Storming the Burning Fields." Inciting "Operation Ground and Pound" next, the metal Gods rained down a divine cataclysm of devastating cho^s. : As the night progressed, the "wow" factor held strong as RedBull and Jaeger kept the 21+ gathering upstairs in check, With unforgiving vocals and tormented solos, DragonForce gave it their all, interacting with the crowd to a degree I had never witnessed before.

Scheduled to take place during University Hour in Academic Hall, Room 111, the discussion is open to all students and a free lunch will be available to those who attend. The purpose for the domestic violence forum is to heighten alertness about the impact violence cañ have in everyone's lives, not just in women's lives. Morgan Hoodenpyle, Programming and Events Coordinator for ASI's Women Center and coordinator of the forum says, "People don't realize how hard it can be for [victims]—who are in a situation of domestic violence—to speak out. There are so many factors that can tie a person down into a violent situation, like financial restrictions, children, and prior history. Abusers can also isolate a victim, by gaining control of the victim's life and cut them off from other people." The intention of the discussion is to inform people about the psychological, emotional, and financial barriers that can handicap the victims of domestic violence. Another important point to keep in mind too, is that domestic violence doesn't always translate into physical abuse that results in bruises, cuts, or other visible ramifications. Stalking, harassment, emotional abuse, From TELEVISION, page 1 it is a wonderful way to kill time."

In a man's lifetime, the odds of getting testicular cancer are about 1/300, and the survival rate after treatment is currently at 96%, states the ACS. According to the National Cancer Association, men are not only at risk for testicular cancer, but as most people aren't aware, men can also be at risk for breast cancer. Women, however, are largely at a much higher risk for breast cancer; 211,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and over 43,000 women died from breast cancer last year as well. Comparatively, roughly 1,600 men were diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. in 2005, and 400 of those diagnosed lost their lives to it. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer found in women and currently makes up 1/3 of the cancers diagnosed in U.S. women. In contrast, whereas testicular cancer is more common in younger men, giving UABC students a wide variety of classes to choose from. Nearly 15 CSUSM students have already signed up to join the UABC students throughout the day's events that include classes, lunch, and community service. There are currently five more spaces open for CSUSM students to volunteer to work alongside the UABC students. Along with participating students, President Haynes, Dr. Peter Zwick (Director of University Global Affairs), and Dr. Vivienne Bennett (Interim Director of the Center for Border and Regional Affairs) will welcome UABC students as they join for lunch in front of Kellogg Library during University Hour. After lunch, UABC students and the risk for breast cancer in women increases with age. The NCA declares that one in eight women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetime. On the NCA website* ages and corresponding percentages of breast cancer incidence within the subsequent ten years of a woman's life are listed. For example, a woman who is 20 years old has a 1/1,985 chance; a 30-year-old woman has a 1/229 chance; a 40-year-old woman has a 1/68 chance; a 50-year-old woman has a 1/37 chance; a 60 year old woman has a 1/26 chance; and a 70-year-old woman has a 1/24 chance. Hoodenpyle later added, "For both breast and testicular cancer selfexaminations, there are easy steps and easy things everyone can do to help protect themselves, empower themselves and empower others by making information and knowledge available."

"Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime," is the statistic printed on the flyer for .the domestic violence discussion. "It's a global statistic," Hoodenpyle explains, "and when you think about it, what does that say about our own cultural and global perspective of women? What does it mean? How do we -address it? Where do we start to get national efforts to combat violence? Those are all things we hope to address."

With MCS readily available to students, this could be a new way to pass time during University Hour. volunteer CSUSM students will then caravan to Escondido where they will work together with Escondido Interfaith to refurbish lowincome housing. According to Darci Strother, the Director of the Office of Community Service Learning, "Both the UABC and CSUSM share a commitment to community service as part of our institutions' missions." Through the kind efforts offered by UABC and CSUSM students, our university will fulfill that goal, as well as UABC, as every UABC student in Tijuana must fulfill a community service requirement in order to graduate. This will be a wonderful opportunity for students to work together for the wellbeing of others. From CENTER, page 1 the Multicultural Center. "The new space will be significantly larger than the current space in Craven Hall 4110," Montevirgen adds. Yesterday during University Hour, LGBTA presented the "What is an Ally?" workshop which aimed to inform students of what an "ally" is and what an "ally" is not. Franklin says that the event "define [d] what an ally is and what an ally is not. Other than learning what an ally is, [students are] challenged to follow through with this knowledge and lend support [and] assist minimal power-powerless individuals, groups or organizations." "Joining the LGBTA is easy," Franklin says. "Coming to a meeting or joining our list are the first steps. How involved with LGBTA [one wants to get] is totally dependent on that individual."

However, in sifting through the m&ss of information on CSUSM's website, prospective graduate students will be able to successfully navigate this demanding course of education. This upper echelon of education is only available to those who have completed a four-year education and received an appropriate Bachelor's Degree. Prospective students must also have a grade point average of at least 2.5 and be in good academic standing with the last university they attended. Some programs require GRE scores. The GRE could be considered the SAT for graduating college students, if you will. The requirements are in the student's best interest, ensuring that they are prepared for the rigors of a graduate program. Students who are admitted to CSUSM's graduate program would be placed in one of four different graduate student classifications. Graduate Classified students are those who have met all requirements. A student who has not met all requirements may still be admitted as a Graduate Conditionally Accepted. Those seeking to enroll in a credential or certificate program would be admitted as a Post-baccalaureate Classified student. Individuals who wish to take classes few professional or personal growth would be classified as Post-baccalaureate Unclassified, and these students would be last priority in regards advanced positions in business, industry, and the public sector" to class enrollment.

This study will evaluate an investigational formulation of insulin taken by inhalation at mealtime to see if it can provide blood sugar control comparable to rapid-acting insulin injection (both in combination with long-acting insulin) in people with type 1 diabetes. Using rapid-acting insulin in your regimen helps more closely mimic the metabolism of people without diabetes and may reduce the risk of a dangerous hypoglycemic episode. If you qualify for this two-year research study, you will receive all study-related diabetes care and study medication at no cost, and may be compensated for time and travel. You will also get a glucose monitor and all diabetes supplies, including prefilled and disposable FlexPens® at no cost for the duration of the study.

Carly Ludwig was the top Cougar finisher, taking 86th. Coming off a win in its first competition ofthe fall, Tuesday's finish was a bit of a letdown for the team. On the difficult par72 6,259-yard course at Chula Vista Golf Club, no Cougar was able to break 80 during the two rounds of competition. Men's Soccer Posts Convincing 6-0 Win Over La Sierra; Defense Back on Track Mike Nuovo's two goals propelled the Cougar men's soccer team (11-3) to a convincing 6-0 win at La Sierra University on Wednesday. Earlier this month, CSUSM defeated La Sierra by a score of 4-0. Almost as important than the win itself was the fact that the squad's defense regained its form. In its first eleven games, the Cougars limited opponents to just seven goals. But in a weekend road trip against U.C. Santa Cruz and Menlo, the defense faltered, allowing seven goals in just the two games. Wednesday's match was the first since those games, and the defense bounced back better than ever, as did keeper Trent Painter. The offense was awfully good too, with forwards Curtis Marcikic and Mike Nuovo playing dynamic games. The Cougars controlled every phase of the match, out-shooting La Sierra Carly Ludwig led the squad in both rounds, shooting 83 on Monday followed by an 81 on Tuesday. Jennell French followed up a first-round 88 with an 82, good for second on the Cougars and 105th overall. Behind her were Danielle Pearce (8487), Adriana Bowman (85-86), and EllyseSiu (91-86). 4 The University of Denver, whose squad posted an impressive two-day team score of 582, won the event. BYU finished seven shots back for second, and U.C. Irvine took third with a score of 596. CSUSM's final score was 675. Women's Soccer able to hold onto lead, defeating La Sierra 3-2 rim. Crouse was able to tuck his shot into the bottom corner of the net. At the 43-minute mark, CSUSM would push its lead to 5-0. Miguel Jacobo hit a cross that found Brandon Zuniga, who made a nifty redirection towards the goal. The keeper would make the save, but Daniel Vasquez was there to clean up the rebound. The scoring was capped off in the 70th minute when Bradley Seidenglanz collected a loose ball, made a run through the defense, and beat the keeper. The 7-0 final score matches the squad's biggest margin of victory, which came in the September 7th win over San Diego Christian College. Next up for the Cougars is a home game against Chapman University on Friday, October 20. All fans are welcome to head down to Mangrum Field to cheer on their Cougars in the last home match of their inaugural season! Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m., with the women's team playing at 2:00 p.m. by a staggering total of 29-3, and earning ten corner kicks to their opponent's zero. The Cougar scoring came early and often. Off the opening kickoff, Curtis Marcikic split the defense for a one-on-one with the keeper, but was unable to convert. At the one-minute mark, Miguel Jacobo penetrated the defense, and struck a cross in front of the goal. A La Sierra defender tried to head it aside, but redirected it into his net for an own goal. But the Cougars wouldn't need that kind of luck on Wednesday. In the 11th minute, Curtis Marcikic slid a pass to Mike Nuovo behind the defense, and Nuovo was able to slip it under the keeper. Just two minutes later, the same duo teamed up for another goal, with Marcikic once again finding Nuovo behind the defense. Three minutes after that, the Cougars earned a free kick in La Sierra territory. Chris Wyatt surprised his opponents by taking the kick quickly, and finding defender Ben Crouse making a Photo By Jason Encabo / Pride File Photo Women's Soccer Able to Hold Onto Lead, Defeats La Sierra 32 Reversing what has become a painful trend over the last month, the CSUSM women's soccer team (4-8-1) was able to successfully close out L a Sierra on Wednesday, edging out a 32 victory. The win snaps a twogame losing streak. It was the Cougars' second victory over La Sierra this season, both of which have come by 3-2 scores. On the season, CSUSM has struggled in one-goal games, losing five of six of such matches before Wednesday. But the team has persevered, and is finally being rewarded for its hard work and effort. At La Sierra, the Cougars came out on fire, getting on the scoreboard in the second minute. Miquella Martinez, who played a terrific game overall, crossed a ball to Randi Leyva. Leyva was able to strike the ball out of mid-air, knocking it into the lower-right corner. With a 1-0 lead, the squad went into a bit of a lull, and La Sierra capitalized. They equalized the score in the 22nd minute when Shelley Bun hit a corner kick to Starlena Murray, and Murray was able to finish. The 1-1 score would hold up through halftime. After halftime, the Cougars would regain the spirit they had early in the game. In the 64th 'minute, Miquella Martinez once again set up a teammate, this time Kelly Wherry. Martinez played a ball across the top of the box, Wherry controlled it, and drove it into the upper right corner of the net. Seven minutes later, the Cougars pushed the lead to 3-1. Clarissa Hidalgo made one of her trademark rims through the defense, and was able to beat the keeper with a strong finish. Though the squad was able to hold on for the win, it would not come as easily as Coach Ron Pulvers would have liked. With one minute left, Shelley Bun brought La Sierra back within one, and the possibility of another lategame disappointment was suddenly evident. However, CSUSM was able to hang on, winning the game 3-2 for their fourth win of the season. In what was an all-around strong effort, both the back and front lines had strong games. The Cougars will try to keep the momentum going when they face off against Chapman University on Friday. The game will be played at Mangrum Field at 2:00 p.m., so come on out and support your Cougars! Photo By David Gatley I Pride File Photo Men's Cross Country takes 2nd, women place 4th at Fullerton; Mejia breezes to another win Men's Cross Country Takes 2nd, Women 4th at Fullerton; Mejia Breezes to Another Win At the Fullerton Invite on Friday, the CSUSM men's and women's cross-country teams looked sharp, finishing 2nd and 4th, respectively. Cougar Juan Mejia won the men's event easily, while Bonghabih Shey led the women's squad with a 9th place finish. The event marks Mejia's second consecutive win. Last week at Vanguard, he crossed the tape 48 seconds before the any other runner in thefield.This time around, Mejia had 33 seconds to catch his breath before the second place finisher arrived. Mejia's 25:49 is in line with his times at other events this year, and his potential at regionals and nationals is off-the-charts. Mejia wasn't the only Cougar who looked great in the team's final tune-up before Nationals. With the squad's usual #2 runner Phil Hoffman, finishing 31st, sophomore Mike Crouch picked up the slack in a big way. His time of 26:25 was good for fourth-place, and a mere 3 seconds behind second. Crouch was one of eleven runners whofinishedwithin 33 seconds of second-place - making Mejia's margin of victory all the more impressive. On the women's side, Bonghabih Shey continued her string of strong finishes, taking 9th place with a time of 18:39. It was the second time that Shey, already an accomplished track athlete, led the cross-country team this fall. Whitney Patton, who has led the squad in the events Shey hasn't, took 18th. Olympia Olguin backed up a strong 19th-place finish at Vanguard by taking 27th on Friday. She's been a pleasant surprise this year for Coach Steve Scott, and has improved tremendously since last year. Overall, the Cougar women finished with a time of 1:35:05, good for fourth place. Cal Coast TC won the women's 5k event by running 1;30:45, and UC Santa Barbara finished second. Santa Barbara won the men's 8k event with a total time of 2:13:36, 36 seconds better than the secondplace Cougars.

MLB has put all of their advertising money for the playoffs into the lap of an 80-year-old white guy. The only people who, know Lasorda are die-hard baseball fans, and MLB already has that person coming to the ballpark. If MLB wants to regain any popularity that it once had, it needs to use its money on someone that can appeal to the casual fan, the fan that is younger than 80 years old. The NBA is misguided as well, but at least they're trying. If you haven't noticed, the NBA is a game that is dominated by African-Americans, with a few good white guys thrown into the mix. It is no secret that Hip-Hop (not the music, but the lifestyle) is synonymous with the NBA. So, my question concerns why David Stern, the NBA commissioner, is trying to change the sport. Look at what Stern is doing with all of these rule changes. Last season he instituted a dress code. He said that dress clothes had to be worn immediately before and after games. As soon as an NBA player enters an arena, he has to suit up. Before this rule, players showed up at press conferences wearing the types of clothing brands that NBA fans wear; "Rocawear," "Ecko," "Sean John,'' etc. Basically, types of clothing that is associated with "minority" groups and the younger generation. Stern has always tried to attract an older white audience, but what he doesn't seem to understand is that they aren't ever going to be interested in the NBA. The only thing that he is doing is diminishing the largest consumer audience around. MLB and the NBA also need to take a page from the NFL on hoiw to handle disciplinary issues. Look at what is taking over the headlines right now in both sports. MLB has all these steroid problemsfloatingaround. Someone actually has to get caught with a needle in their arm to actually be found guilty, and they have to be caught like 30 times before they are kicked out of the sport. In the NBA, Steven Jackson and his off-court crusade with a gun outside of a strip club is only one of the many incidents from an NBA player of late. I am assuming the disciplinary action taken by the NBA will be minuscule, if at all, against Jackson. In the NFL, if you screw up you are banished to Canada, like Ricky Williams. I guess what I am basically saying is that I should be commissioner of the NBA and MLB.

Recently, the U.S. Senate rejected a proposal to raise the minimum wage that would have%ffeSted 11% of the workforce or about 14.9 million Americans. Many states, including California, are raising the minimum wage through state legislatures, but the same old story is been played out again in other areas. States like Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana do not even have state minimum wage laws, leaving the already impoverished Southern states even further behind the curve. While this may have a small impact as us as Californians, it is important to America as a nation to promote a strong workforce. It becomes difficult for workers to insist on their own rights and fair wages when people in other parts of the country are not afforded those same rights. The emerging global markets require a level of high education to stay on top of the game. The only way to achieve this on a large scale in America is to ensure that all people at least have a basic level of comfort. Many people entering the middle class fear that a raise in the minimum wage will affect their wages negatively, but essential workers will always be compensated for the expertise that they bring to the job. Many cities and even suburbs in America are experiencing high levels of crime due to poverty?the only way for poverty to be alleviated is through the rise the wages of the workers that are at the lowest end of the spectrum, minimum wage laborers. It is hard to imagine conditions worsening, but the Senate, in its vote against a minimum wage increase, has ensured that conditions will worsen for those that depend on compensation from our nations largest corporations. -MicahBearce m ake i nformed, h eal c onfident choices 760.744.I SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $ 11 0 0 - $ 18.00 p er h our C u s t o m e r S e r v i c e : $ 9.00 C all ( 760)744-SWlM 277 S.

I think that if Hollywood is going to interpret a historical period of time, and a loathed French queen at that, they could have spiced things up a little bit. Isn't that what the money from our tickets goes to anyways? ^ Painfiilly clocking in at 118 minutes, the action r and plot of the story didn't even kick in until the final 40 minutes. On a side note, all who are familiar with the actual history and the details of Louis XVI and Marie will find this movie rather forced in terms of its timeline of events; and for those going in cold (unaware of the historical facts), don't take this movie as a depiction" of what really happened. The film basically locks Marie and the audience up in Versailles, trailing Antoinette around the palace, documenting her frivolity and life as a spoiled, royal socialite, Hinting at affairs, rumors, scandals, stagnant sexuality, and bizarre extravagance, Coppola barely scratches the surface in her portrayal of the publicly-hated Dauphine. With no inner transformation or conflict in Antoinette's character that the audience is able to relate to —other than Louis XVIs disinterest in consummating his marriage— the film's blandness outweighs its beautiful production. I kept waiting for something to happen and A| nothing did: no evil villain swept in to steal .«¿AgS the show, there was no beheading, and no J M windows were broken as a result of the Jjj French Revolution that was happening É | just outside the palace door. All in all, ^ H ^ B H R B the film just felt unfinished. a^Hffi^H Other historical biopics that I have J Ê seen, like "Amadeus," "Malcom É • X," "Ray," and "Kinsey," are MHBBI better examples of films that portray the characters from a HB perspective that audiences J9 can identify with. "Marie É Ê B ^ ^ Ê K Ê Antoinette" just doesn't hit JH home for me. I felt misled as a consumer, and when 9 É f l B | | all was said and done, I ^ ^ H f l i just wanted my two hours j P B M f f and ten bucks back. I would have much rather watched Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) rock out to some Vivaldi instead of The Cure and Bow Wow Wow. Don't get me wrong. I love The Cure, just not as a musical backdrop for the French queen gallivanting about Versailles in the late 1700s. Directed by Sofia Coppola, "Marie Antoinette," is a beautiful and airy inspection of the life of the young Austrian, Marie Antoinette, who is betrothed to Louis XVI in order to bolster relations between Austria and France. The film highlights the shortcomings that Marie Antoinette experiences as she struggles to become accustomed to the traditions and routines of her newly acquired position. I'll start by saying that this movie was nothing like I expected it to be. Going into it I anticipated this film to be something like the 1996 remake of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. The overlay of modern music and conjk temporary attitudes towards sex, drugs, and rock 'n I roll distracted me at too many points throughout the I film. Detracting from the façade of elegant deserts |F and ornate dresses, the humane Marie Antoinette that the movie tried so hard to portray was almost lost in Coppola's zealous ambition. Aside from the beautiit ful period detail in costumes, hairstyles and decor, there isn't really any substance to this film; in % fact, as an audience member it's hard to stay k 1 afloat in the over-processed images of an 18th f century France. Moreover, Jason Schwartzman who plays Louis XVI, I feel, is greatly miscast. Even though his character in the movie is rather aloof, as an actor he lacks the energy and ability to bring Louis XVI to life. Not that there was particularly any chemistry between Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI in any i f l H p n | k history books, but a little more chemisV^Br try on screen—I mean it is Hollywood |W we're talking about—would have kept *¥ the audience awake long enough to watch the end ^ W j V credits. As for Dunst, she seems to struggle \ m j f i w i with her role. Though it doesn't require all iW ¥ that much depth, or even that many speakI* I ing lines aside from "Let them eat cake!" on L 2 screen Dunst is a lack-luster teenage queen. •k T M * Overall, I felt that there was much more ^ H I H ^ R l SBIBR � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Enthusiastic CSUSM students welcomed the visiting students and led them to selected classes to attend. After attending two classes, UABC students gathered with CSUSM students for lunch outside of the library on the secondfloorpatio. On the patio, students talked with each other over roast beef, ham, and turkey sandwiches, cookies, potato chips and Arizona iced tea.

In my time on this campus I have met some very knowledgeable people when it comes to sports. As much as I may think I know, these guys have taught me something new at one point or another. You may remember some of these names if you read "Jock Talk" on a regular basis, but I finally found a way to introduce you to some of the other people on this campus who are involved in the sports world. -Josh Sandoval Mavericks over Suns (Defense plus Dirk equals Domination) Nets over Bulls (Kidd, Carter, Jefferson plus great draft) Nets over Mavericks (Nets make up-tempo popular again) Rockets (Yao I McGrady experiment still doesn't work) Hornets (Finish above.500 and make playoffs) Kobe Bryant (Lakers) (Should've got it last season) Lawrence Frank (Nets) (Title sinks this award) Adam Morrison (Bobcats) (Plenty of minutes in Charlotte) Suns over Clippers (Stoudemire gets them over hump) Pistons over Bulls (Team chemistry pays off) Suns over Pistons (Suns outshine Pistons) Heat (Complacent Shaq wont hold up) Rockets (Two words: Bonzi Wells) Tracy McGrady (Rockets) (Bounces "back" from injuries) Scott Skiles (Bulls) (They'll win 55 plus) R andy F oye (Timberwolves) (Dwayne W adeesque player) S uns over R ockets (Stoudemire's B ack!)

Fernando Brown Fernando Brown's name.is reo&gmzable from the sports articles that appear in this paper. Before Fernando joined the newspaper I could count on one hand the number of articles written about CSUSM athletics. Paul Baimbridge Paul Baimbridge is a name you might recognize from the article I wrote about the Padres' ninth inning collapse against the Dodgers. You will get to know his name even more next semester, since he will be the baseball and Softball beat writer next semester. Mike Millburn Mike Millburn is someone you may know if you listen to "XX Sports Radio" on 1090AM or watch "The Prep Pigskin Report" on KUSI. He is the guy on the radio that the broadcasters refer to as "Head", because of the big melon in between his shoulders. He works as a board operator and producer for those two companies. Kyle Trembley Kyle Trembley is a well of information regarding campus athletics. He is the guy who makes Fernando and I look smart in articles about campus sports, because if we have a question we go to Kyle. Along with being the Sports Information Director for CSUSM, you may have seen his sports briefs in the paper. �Halloween around the world BY SABRINA BAGLEY Pride Staff Writer spirits of one's ancestors return to visit their mortal relatives.

These Buddhist holiday. It is believed, days of crafts, cooking, and flowthat each year during Obon, the ers hold great meaning for many Hispanic families. The Ching Ming observance had its beginnings as the original religion in China. Ancestor worship is the only native religion to China. All others* including Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, were imported from outside of China. Confucianism and Taoism originated in China but are philosophies rather than religions. This remnant of ancestor worship is celebrated with the maintenance of tombs the offering of food and other essentials, and displays of respect. Sometimes, a family will set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. Walpurgis Night, celebrated in Germany, Sweden, and the Czech Republic, is a night of warding off witches. In Germany, whips are cracked and horns are blared. In Sweden, bonfifes are added to the noise. In the Czech Republic, people spread grass or sand on the doorstep in the belief that witches can not enter a house before counting the blades of grass or grains of sand. Celebrated on April 30, this day is an old pagan festival, which borrows its name from Saint Walburga. The most common association of Halloween is with Pagan celebrations. According to Pagan expert, Eva Snyder, "Halloween Photo by David Bauer / The Pride is magical. It is the time when the veil separating the realms of the living and the dead is thinnest, permitting contact between the two worlds," she says. "The lines between past, present and future are also blurred, allowing the impossible to happen." These pagan celebrations are often misconstrued and falsely have negative and dangerous connotations. American celebrations of Halloween have little to do with ancestor worship. Rather, costumes and candy abound, and trick-or-treating is enjoyed by children. Jack-o-lanterns, also a Halloween staple, have quite the interesting history. The Jack-olantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree. According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

From asking the students it seems to be a pirate or a ninja. A representative from CC & CO Costume Shop, a shop that has been in business for the past 21 years in Temecula, says that the most popular costumes this year are pirates for couples; nurses and cops for females, and that most guys were dressing as part of a couple, or just came i n, to get a mask. If this is true, then what does it say about us? I asked some students how they feel about people flaunting their sex appeal on Halloween with racy outfits for girls and pimp costumes for the guys; and there were two common answers. One was that it's an excuse to dress in ways one normally wouldn't in hopes of attracting attention from other people. The other idea was that it's just Halloween, and costume choices are not taken seriously by people. Halloween is meant to be a fun time with or without parties; so are we being too analytical? or are people really going overboard with sex appeal for the holiday? Either way, it's a time to dress up as something one isn't and fool others around you. It's a time to enjoy the weekend or the night and have no worries but the cavities one might wake up with the morning after. Website of the week: homestarrunner.com BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Homestarrunner.com was once a humble site made by two brothers for the entertainment of the un-entertained. Each week there would be one or more new cartoons on the site. It didn't have much fame five or so years ago, but the true fans knew what it was and know what it is today. Brothers Matt and Mike Chaps created the website and all of its animations and games, with Matt in charge of the art and programming and Mike performing all of the voices of the characters (except for the voice of the site's one female, which is performed by his Wife Melissa Palmer). The finances of running the Homestar Runner website and its webbased store had been handled by their father, Don, until he passed away earlier this year. Today the site is booming with new characters and new things to do. For all the original fans that know of this site, all the old cartoons and shorts and such can all be found in the museum section. There are cartoons featuring the slow witted, lisping, Homestar Runner—the website's main character. Other characters also recur in cartoons on the site such as the ridiculously pompous, luchador-mask-wearing, Strong- bad and his tiny yellow accomplice, The Cheat, who Strongbad describes at one point as looking "like some kind of cheese... or anvil," and who only communicates through mumbles and squeaks. The cartoons are centered on the characters' adventures and interactions. There are also games, and videos starring puppet versions of the characters and other features as well. One popular feature is that viewers can send emails to be answered by the character Strongbad in a cartoon, which usually consists of several minutes of Strongbad humorously criticizing everything about the email and its a plush The Cheat that squeaks author.

Residing in whaf have inevitably become overdeveloped condominiums and commercialized residences, what is now San Elijo Hills, was once a spiritual and even haunted area dubbed "Questhaven." No doubt many San Diego residents have unknowingly driven through Questhaven as it's a surefire shortcut to Escondido that spits travelers out from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Auto Parkway in less than four minutes. The short drive through Harmony Grove and Elfin Forest not only feels like something out of "The Twilight Zone," but it also feels like a mindless time warn.^ . Rumored to once be inhabited by Gypsies and their social kin at the turn of the 19th century and welp into to the 20th century, legend has it that when other natives of the land and cjdzens of local communities came in and drove off the Gypsies, slaughter- ing those who stood in their way, the Gypsies cursed the land of Elfin Forest. Perhaps this curse was the impetus f or many of the . urban legends that have accumulated throughout the years. Coincidentally, there are also accounts of Northern Diegueno Indians inhabiting the land more than 9,Q00 years, using it as a sacred space for burials and-peace offerings. With curvy roads* creepy trees growling over the paths, and eerie sights" and sounds, Questhaven embodies many fears that seep into the holes of the collective subconscious, lending to the idea that this; place generates a supernatural power that tests ther nerves and wills of innocent visitors. With no cell phone reception, or friendly places to look to with pleas for help, if rumors hold true* the horrors o£Questhaven sound overwhelming for any one person to face alone. A few locations that are glor rjfied tin the tales of Questhaven are the stòrie s*of thè abandoned i insane asylum and the legendary cult house. With gates anà barbed wire lining the property, an old wooden fence sign deCojates the entrance to the ruins pf the rumored insane asylum with sleeping elves shyly painted on Back road leading through Questhaven and surrouriding area. The Elfin Forest sign located above the gate into Questhaven. it, reading "Elfin Forest." Behind the torn and defiled fence lays acres ofland and building foundations left in shambles; Defended by? armies of nocturnal spirits and savage animals, the danger of trekking across the depths of Questhaven sounds high from the word of mouth reported accounts ef paranormal activity. As for, the cult house, well, there' are' many mock "Blair Witch" films that high schoolers and amateur filmmakers Have endeavored to n ^ e ^ g n , the Questionable cult pfoperty. Most of which describe scenes of nooses hanging from burned trees, broken bones and skulls crushed into the mulch and brush, unearthly cackles and noises flying around in the night air—the rumors have even fabled that when said filmmakers go back to review their footage that there is just black static that fills the screen and curdling screams that sound off in the distance. Furthermore, what would Questhaven be if there weren't spinetingling urban myths attached to fend off the faint of heart? When researching Questhaven, there are a few prevalent myths, as well as others that rise to the top. The first tells a tale of a ten-foot white owl that roams the midnight and * moon-laden sky above the spooky trees. The make informed, he confident cholci 7 60 .744.13 ghostly owl sneaks .about preying on naive young people who enter the forest. If the visitors are in their ear, the owl lands atop of the car and possesses several ways of murdering the vehicle's passengers. If the visitors are on foot, it swoops down to capture them and sacrifices them. There are other stories about the owl; however, many do hot speak of the owl iri fear of repercussion. The second myth tells of a witch that haunts Elfin Forest. Stories of the witch solicit extreme caution should one choose to enter the forest, for hers is the deadliest and scariest of stories. The witch has been in the forest since the persecution of the Gypsies. She rides the roads of the forest on a ghost black stallion. With a black cloak the covers her face and body, the night-riding ghost horse and witch have omnipotent vision and senses and can feel when a stranger or intruder has entered the forest. It is said that once one enters the forest and Questhaven, that then the witch marks that person, leaving no physical indication, but more of a spiritual mark on that person so that if that person were to ever enter the forest again, that they would then be killed instantly by the witch. Those who have experienced this tell tales of hearing no hoof prints or galloping stallion, no; that the witch and her mountfloatalong in the shadows. Never in clear sight, her victims will never really know what they see when .they, witness her. It is also rumored that by chance if victims do see her eyes, as they pierce a ray of green light, that they are immediately killed.

Upon further investigation, it has been found that there is a religious retreat center, called the "Questhaven Retreat, Church of the Holy Quest," that sits on 640 acres of wilderness. Some speculate that it is this retreat center, which was erected in the early 1940s that is mistaken for the insane asylum and the cult house. However, there are no official records that haves been found linking that theory, or linking the legends to the retreat center. As there is no record of any insane asylum existing in Elfin Forest, Harmony Grove, or Questhaven, rumors apparently hold more weight in the chance of experiencing supernatural activity. For now, Questhaven truly remains a mystery, as the stories and sensations that haunt it continue to be aggravated by the growing population of inhabitants. One thing remains certain though, no one will ever really know what lies beneath Questhaven or lurks in the shadows in Elfin Forest. MI^nädS 277 S.

Boxing matches have had the "rigged" cloud looming over their "honest" heads for many years. The ghost punches, the throwing of a fight so we can have De La Hoya vs. Mosley 2.1 think the fans of professional boxing are tired of fixed fights or two guys dancing around each other because both of them are afraid to throw a punch. The fighters of professional boxing are afraid to hurt the product: their face.

Boxing is all grown up now; it's an old man on his death bed. Only a cure of a Heavyweight Champion or a big rivalry will save the old man of boxing.

The event took place on Thursday, October 26, in the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. Approximately 70 people attended the reading according to Mark Wallace, an assistant professor of Literature and Writing Studies here at CSUSM. Dinh has traveled all over the globe, and the knowledge of other cultures appears in his writing style. He has written two collections of stories, three books of poems, and a series of anthologies. He is currently working on a novel. Dinh chose to read from "Borderless Bodies," "American Tatts," and "Blood and Soap." "Mark managed to place an article about the reading in the Union-Tribune. I knew, or at least hoped, that ordinary people would be coming to the reading, not just students. I decided to read poems and stories that ordinary people could relate to. I'm not an academic person but a blue collar, mostly self-taught guy who writes poems," said Dinh. "Before my recent breaks, I was a regular working class dude. I spent 15 years as Drink of the Week a housepainter, and 3 years as a house and office cleaner," said Dinh. Dinh was asked to visit CSUSM because "he's one of the best poets andfictionwriters currently writing in this country," said Wallace. The readings generated much laughter amongst the guests who included CSUSM students and members of the community. I enjoyed all of Dinh's readings. I loved his witty humor and play on words. Despite the immense laughter, Dinh's readings sent quivers to my heart and waves to my brain. My favorite parts were "nude pictures of you sold back to you at a discount" and "working jobs that were beneath him knowing that it was punishment for leaving his family behind and the chaos that awaited him upon return." The majority of Dinh's readings were short prose poems. He also read multiple one-sentence stories. I never imagined so much content could be contained between the first capital letter of a sentence and the ending period. "[My favorite part was] his sense of humor. I didn't expect to laugh so much. I also loved his paradoxical love poems and the one sentence stories," said Lea Vergara, a Literature and Writing Studies major. "It is very hard to be a writer in this society, You will have many challenges ahead of you, but if writing is something If you are feeling like you missed out, that you must do, something that you must it's because you did.

Within recent years however, in San Diego County particularly, red ales have become increasingly popular and available. Last week we tried AleSmith's Evil Dead Red; this week we'll look at local red ale: Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red. Brewed and served at all three of Pizza Port's breweries, this delicious microbrew is also available in bottle and as a draft in some local bars. To understand what makes red ales different and unique first requires a little brewing background. After a beer has been initially brewed, it enters into a stage of fermentation. At this point, the brewer adds (or "pitches" as it's called) yeast to the brew. This yeast converts sugars present in the brew into juicy cocktail, however, I sat up and took notice. I confess to being enchanted by its name, the source of so many legends.

The various types of yeast used, and the temperature it is done at, determine whether the beer will eventually become an ale or a lager. When brewers first began making beer they could only create ale. This is because ales are brewed in warm temperatures with top-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) over a short period of time. As refrigeration was introduced and brewers learned to work with and manipulate yeast, lagers, which are brewed for longer periods of time in colder temperatures with bottom-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces uvarum), became the most popular beers. Red beers were created after the legalization of home brewing in 1976. Home brewers, trying new and innovative techniques, discovered that by using certain malts in the mash, they could create a beer with unique red, burgundy and amber hues. These beers, which usually contained car- amel or roasted malts, have unique colors and flavors. These brews can be used to create both ales and lagers. Due to the popularity of red beers, some breweries have begun adding red dye to some beers and claiming that they are red beers. This practice detracts from the unique taste and innovative style of real red beers, giving them a bad name. Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red, on the other hand, is an excellent example of an excellent red beer. The beer pours a burgundy red with a thin,fizzy,white head/The head generally fades fairly quickly leaving little sheets of lacing on the sides of the glass. As it pours you can also begin to smell the 9.2% alcohol by volume Content in the beer's aroma. Brewed with Centennial and Cascade hops, it smells full and hoppy, but fully balanced with lots of rich malts and a hint of citrus. It's not particularly high in carbonation, but it also doesn't have an overly flat feel tp it. This beer has a very sweet and toasty malt taste. Like most San Diego ales however, it is also deliriously hoppy with a noticeable alcohol bite. Shark Attack Red is a very fullbodied beer with a bold mouth feel. Its aftertaste is nutty, spicy and hoppy. With such strong flavors* and high alcohol content, however, it is definitely a red beer best enjoyed one or two at most in a session. �Tuesday, October 31,2006 il iX/ J^ THE PRIDE CD Review: Keep your "Eyes Open" for Snow Patro BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer ^ ^¡f* ^ It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core— and rim away with it. Snow Patrol does no less, in fact, much more than that. From Ireland, Snow Patrol isn't new to the scene. With their invigorating attitude, once again they open their mouths, and aptitude -for musical catharsis and dare listeners to become vulnerable. "Eyes Open," the latest fulllength to travel across the seas from the Celtic homeland, is as intimate as it is rock. Probably the best cut off the new record is "Chasing Cars." With its deep message, exquisite instrumentation, and brutal yet beautiful lyrics, "Chasing Cars" hushes my soul to ease, begging me to close my eyes and just let go. An honest and introspective love song, the breathtaking insight poured into the song offers the listener a ballad that embraces the essence of drama. Photos courtesy of www.snowpatrol.com Having spent the past two years on the road, traveling the globe amidst the splash of "Run," their prior anthem off the 2004 release "Final Straw," Snow Patrol spent much of 2005 recording "Eyes Open" along the Irish coastline. In a studio that allowed the members of Snow Patrol to awaken to waves crashing at the foot of the cliffs below them, Snow Patrol slowly breathed life into "Eyes Open," capturing the sensory effects of living on the edge of a cliff. Theater Review: BY BRANDI BLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer Admittedly, I found the disclaimer for the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Department's new production, "Wonder of the World," intriguing. A play at CSUSM with mature language and adult themes? Let me assure you it is not a caution, but a promise. David Lindsay-Abaire's sometimes odd, sometimes touching writing propels this work to its climax with laughs to spare. This two-hour play directed by Katie Rodda is a delight and, with plenty of genuine, my-tummyhurts laughs along the way, will leave you wondering where the time went. The story begins with the captivating scene of a woman packing. Cass, played by Jessica Swan, is leaving her life behind for a chance at a more exciting one. When her ( A|r^|fcissi|iger) |feoi|es marriage troubles surface and we^re ^brtoelled ita | oy^\y|(|ass thrfrugh^hdr jotlrney. Along her voyage, Cass meets—scratch that—barges her "Make This Go On Forever" is my next favorite track. The tempo of "Make This Go On Forever" paces and then drops off with a lone piano pounding away in the background, creating a feeling of a grandeur, sounding like the beginning of what could build into a one-song record. Gary Lightbody, vocalist and song-crafter for the five-piece band, empties so much grief into this song through his voice. lt is truly moving. "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" projects a slight Sigur Ros feeling within the vocals and ambient textures, but the building of the duet between Lightbody and Martha Wainwright is classic Snow Patrol: soft and piercing. . I am also very partial to the album's closer, "The Finish Line." Wrapping up the ten tracks with echoing Celtic vocals lingering above the breathy pauses, the vocals and song construction sound much more natural for Lightbody than some of the other tracks do, showcasing a more culturally native side of Snow Patrol that isn't as prevalent in other releases. A song that feels patriotic in the sense that it's patriotic to Snow Patrol, "The Finish Line" contains crisp lyrics and layers upon layers of textured sound effects. A fitting end to a solid effort put forth by Snow Patrol, the album as a whole, "Eyes Open," will surely open your eyes to both a new and inspiring side of Snow Patrol, as well as the old and soothing side of Snow Patrol that many have grown to admire. Wonder of the World way into the lives of strangers she comes across. She meets fellowtraveler, alcoholic, and sidekick, Lois (Bridget Henwood), curious couple Glen (Omar Yanez) and Karla (Celeste Dawn Beattie), the charming Captain Mike (Patrick Wenk-Wolff); and the strange, oddly-familiar marriage therapist, Janie (Arielle Rosenbaum). This funny, chaotic tale is driven by strong performances. Jessica Swan is wonderful in her naïve and alarmingly forward role as Cass. Whether its exclaiming to sidekick Lois, "Let's be lesbians!" or informing thè captain of her boat tour that she would like to have sex with him that evening, Swan's straightforward delivery lends credibility to Cass and punch to the laughs. Half the fun, though, is watching other characters react to Ker. Henwood, Kissinger, and Wenk-Wolff also provide stand-out performances as the characters thai drive Cass to Photo by Brandi Blahnik / The Pride action and question her "weird" qualities. When we finally find the many characters of "Wonder of the World'* together in a room, the result is a dynamic explosion of personalities which can only be managed with, that's right, an episode of "The Newlyweds" game show. Without saying too much, rest assured this play will force you to look a t Barbie heads in a disturbingly new way. Writer Ljndsay-Abaire weaves the stories of his characters together, leaving us to ponder the role of fate in our lives. Each character touches the life of the next without seeming to know it. It's unclear whether the "wonder" he speaks of is as tangible as Niagra Falls, or rather an idea about coincidences and their effects on our lives. Though there are plenty of laughs, the subtext of the play asks the more serious question of how we make decisions or, let then* be dictated for l^^ll f / * "Woi^ei^oMie W6rld" tfecSledly receives 5 paws and is well wortlf the $5 student ticket price.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation coming to CSUSM BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation National Education Tour is coming to campus on Wednesday, November 15. The event that is also known as "On the Way to the Cure - Komen on the Go" will be held in the Kellogg Library Plaza from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The nine week tour has 36 stops; one of them being CSUSM. "They go to many campuses throughout the U.S. and we are fortunate to be on the tour," said Rita Ruhter, the special project coordinator for Health and Human Services here at CSUSM. The event was held last year and will probably be held again next year. "We would like to host them again next year but it depends on their National Schedule," said Ruhter. The six - hour event will include the "Komen On the Go" pink trailer. The event will also have computer stations, informational materials about breast cancer, breast selfexamination guides, opportunities for local involvement, and suggestions about how to be effective cosurvivors. Resources about where to go to for answers to questions about breast health and breast cancer will also be included, along with an eightfoot graffiti wall that will allow students to share their ideas about breast cancer. Prizes will be given away for those who participate. "It's a great educational event and we [will] also have breast cancer survivors on site to answer questions and lend support," said Ruhter. Nancy G. Brinker founded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in memory of her sister. Brinker lost her sister (Komen) to breast cancer. Komen was only 36 years old and left two children behind. Komen fought breast cancer for three years before the cancer over took her. From her encounter and personal experience, Brinker learned how the lack of knowledge on breast cancer played a significant role in her sister's death. Additionally, San Diego hosted VOL.

Most of them are free from the burdens of their classes until Monday. The professional staff members who work in the offices of the UVA have gone home for the evening. Tonight, out of the 15 Resident Advisors in the UVA, it is up to Jace Getskow and Alex Cohen to make the rounds, enforce the rules, and much, much more. 10:30 p.m.: The round* begin on the first floor of B. This is Matt Curran and Getskow'sfloor.It's relatively quiet thus far. Getskow and Cohen walk slowly, pushing on every door they walk by. A few of the door handles are broken, other doors are left ajar. Every so often, as Getskow and Cohen push and the doors and continue walking, a resident's curious face will appear in the hallway, wondering why their door suddenly slammed shut. "We're just checking the doors," they say to each resident. If a resident's door handle is broken, Getskow and Cohen advise them to fill in a work order at the front desk during business hours. "So no one walks in and takes a TV or anything," Getskow says. 10:50 p.m.: Getskow and Cohen are nearing the end of the second floor of B, Josh Freeman and Steven Butler'sfloor.Getskow and Cohen describe how most residents think their RAs are out to get them. "We're not here to hunt people. We're here to enforce rules." Cohen says. Getskow adds, "Our main concern is that no one's passed out on the floor." Most times, when they knock on doors, to ask students to quiet down, it's because they can hear them laughing loudly and playing music from two doors down.

This small office serves roughly 200 students from the surrounding communities who attend college courses hosted in local area schools to earn credit at CSUSM. The CSUSM SWRC (South West Riverside County) branch campus has offered classes for the last six years to students who are either currently enrolled at CSUSM or participating in the Open University program. Over the next few years though, due to an increase in the state budget it is antici- l^nes pated that this office will more than double its size, expanding to accommodate 500 students. Most of the CSU system schools in Southern California are clustered around the coastline, leaving students in areas farther east isolated. In order to allow students in these areas greater access to a university education, CSUSM established a satellite branch in South Western Riverside County in the city of Temecula. The system of building satellite campuses is not uncommon in the CSU system. CSU Channel Islands operates one in Camarillo, CSU Northridge operates one in Ventura, and in 1978 San Diego State University, built a satellite campus in North County, which in 1989 became CSU San Marcos. The CSUSM SWRC "campus" is really just an administrative office, that offers a few other services such as taking the Computer Competency Requirement Exam as well as limited academic advising. The classes at the CSUSM SWRC branch campus are held in the nearby classrooms in Temecula and Murrieta area schools. The classes, that number 11 for fall semester and 14 for last spring, are generally taught by CSUSM faculty and staff. Taught in classrooms mostly in Ronald Reagan Elementary School in Wildomar, and at Temecula Valley High School. The classes are generally smaller and offered in the evenings or early mornings. While there are some fulltime programs, most cater to part time and evening students. There are a few courses at CSUSM SWRC branch campus that are also focused on helping graduate students earn either the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, or earn two of the pre requisites for any of the other credential programs at CSUSM. There are also some upper division general education courses offered for students, and some for those attempting to earn a degree in Liberal Studies. However, in order to meet all of the requirements for their degrees, students will need to take some classes at the main CSUSM campus. There are also limitations on the kinds of courses that can be offered at the branch office; an agreement with Mt./San Jacinto Community College's Temecula branch prevents CSUSM from offering competing lower division courses. Students at CSUSM SWRC branch campus are also limited to Social Sciences and Humanities classes, meaning that students with other majors will at most only be able to take a few general education classes at the SWRC branch; but that may change in the near future with the increased enrollment allowance and budget increase. With an increase in funding for the CSU system from the California state's general fund of $54 million for the 2006-2007 year, and the possible windfall if Prop ID passes, the SWRC branch will be able to increase the number of classes and services over the next few years. Program coordinators at the SWRC branch hope to expand to offer classes in Science and Math as well as offering Continuing Education activities. Their plans also include opening an actual campus facility for the program in Temecula.

With the iPod claiming Built into Apple's popular almost 73 percent share of the iTunes digital music distribu- market for portable music play- ers last year, some analysts see Apple's iPod well on track for replacing Sony's Walkman as the most popular portable audio product in history. This popularity combined with the CSUSM's willingness to embrace non traditional teaching methods, such as online and distance learning make podcasting lectures an attractive option for schools and a lucrative one for Apple. The flexibility of distributing material via podcast generally appeals to students, and the availability ofmaterial for students will probably be even more appealing to students who can download a lecture and listen to it anywhere rather than make the commute to campus. The ability for students with an internet connection anywhere in the world to listen to courses from CSUSM professors could change the way classes are taught and how we take college courses. Previously recorded courses could potentially be recycledfromprevious years and downloaded by incoming students as a cost cutting measure by some schools. It could also make professors tired of lecturing to empty classrooms implement mandatory attendance policies. Either way podcasting lectures may be the next step in thé evolution in teaching. "It might change the way we teach", wrote Professor Berghof.

Whitney Patton, who has been one of the squad's leaders throughout the year and helped carry them to their high national ranking, took 24th at the event. Right behind her was Morgan Sjogren in 28th, followed by Erin Hearn, who made her first appearance in the Cougars' top5 with a 41st-place finish. Other Cougars who competed include Aimee Bradley (45th) and Kristen Simek (60th). Concordia University made it a clean sweep on the day, winning the women's event as well. Azusa Pacific, Vanguard, and Point Loma Nazarene finished ahead of the Cougar women as well, but the squad should still make Nationals. For both the men and women, that event will be held on November 18th in Louisville, Kentucky.

He decided to drop his suspension appeal to the NFL office, because he realized the four games suspension would be upheld and if he waited any longer to start the suspension he would have missed both games versus the Denver Broncos. I enjoy watching Merriman play, probably more than any other defensive player in the league. If he had simply come to me for some advice on the matter, he might have had a chance against the league office. With that said, I present to you the top 10 excuses Shawne Merriman could have used to explain why he tested positive for steroids. 10 - "The lab technician who handled my urine sample was a Broncos fan. Now that I think about it, the guy who handed me the cup to urinate in looked an awfuHot like Jake Plummer." 9-"ItookasipfromBarry Bonds' water botde. At least I thought it was water.

That's how much I love my family.. .and cranberry sauce." 4 - "I guess I misheard the salesclerk at 'Radio Shack'. I thought he said check out the new stereos." 3 - "My nickname 'Lights Out' applies to more things than my playing ability. You see, sometimes the lights go out in my head and I black out for hours at a time. I can't be held responsible for what goes in my body during that period of time." 2 - "Recently I have become a big brother to a disadvantaged youth. One day I came upon him with a syringe in his hand. He said he was going to shoot up because he wanted to make it to the NFL one day. I wouldn't let that happen to a developing young boy, so I snatched the syringe from his hand and injected myself, just so he couldn't harm his own body. So, if you really think about it, I am a hero. Don't do drugs kids." 1 - "I couldn't stand to watch anymore Marty Ball, and I don't even play offense." Next time you athletes get into trouble, just come to me. No problem is beyond repair for me. Just contact me at Sando026@csusm. edu and I will have ten excuses for you to use, free of charge within 24 hours.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN "Plan B" is the most diverse song on the Pride Staff Writer album in terms of the stylistic choices made Better not sit down before you listen to by the band and the instruments used. It's this one. MuteMath is exactly like what you'd listen to if a squad of fifty police cars were chasing you down the 1-15 like a fugitive on "America's Most Wanted." That said, the opening number on the latest release from Teleprompt/Warner Records is a little on the softer side of the usual MuteMath fury. Don't let that stand in your way though. "Typical" still has enough guts to get your heart pumping. The four-piece New Orleans ensemble holds nothing back on this rockin' self-titled release. Clocking in at just over 63 minutes, MuteMath will have your palms sweating and your heart racing for a solid hour; that's better than putting in an hour of cardio at the gym, if you ask me. With 14 tracks of high quality mayhem and skilled musicianship, the vocals of lead singer Paul Meany are a little bit Sting meets John Mayer, but also slightly The MuteMath plays at the House of Blues. Shins meet Simon and Garfunkel. The sound is a mixture of several genres: rock, fast enough to rock out to, but still chill electrónica, rave, reggae, pop, new wave enough to cruise to between pockets of and j azz. Creating ambient songs that carry traffic on the freeway. Utilizing magical the listener from one track to the next, the homemade instruments and bursting with songs on "MuteMath" are different enough spontaneous bouts of energy throughout all THE PRIDE Math. Its fast tempo, chasing cymbals, and organ-esque breakdown paired with the heavy and echoing pipes of Meany fuse together seamlessly. "Stare at the Sun," is more tech than it is techno, combining multiple levels of distortion with electronic noises and guitar-heavy rhythms. The vocals on this song, however, smooth this number down, rounding it out as a fairly enjoyable listening affair. Speaking of affairs, seeing MuteMath live is by far an affair I'll never be able to forget. I had the opportunity to witness them live a little over a year ago when they opened for Mae at the San Diego House of Blues. MuteMath totally stole the show. They were thefirstband to play, and they could have very well been the only band that played that night None of the bands that followed the incredible show MuteMath put on came even close to the quality and showmanship MuteMath possessed that night.

This year's batch has done especially well, winning the Silver Medal at the 2006 Australian International Beef Awards and taking home the gold in the 2006 World Beer Championships. Deschutes 2006 Jubelale is a deep red-brown color. The head is frothy and an inch thick which disappeared after a few minutes leaving a small amount of lacing around the edges. The smell is crisp, sweet and well spicey with undertones provided by its warm toasted malts. The ale tastes sweet, fruity and spiced. It has a medium mouthfeel and good body. Perfect for the cold autumn and winter season, Jubelale is warming and delicious. Its after taste is clean and slightly bitter with a hint of a toasted maltflavor.It is available both on tap and in bottles, though the bottled version is slightly harder to find.

Photos by Amanda Andreen / The Pridd BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!" cautions The Dude, fearing for his precious potion while being shoved into a limousine. The beverage in question is the White Russian and its popularity increaseddramatically after Jeff Bridges starred as "The Dude" Lebowski, an L.A. slacker with a steady routine: "I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback." A Coen Brothers' film, "The Big Lebowski" introduced cocktail-lovers' far and wide to a little beverage that shares its name with the Bolsheviks' political opponents during the Russian Civil War. The White Russian is a simple, creamy cocktail composed of vodka, Kahlua and cream served on the rocks in an oldfashioned glass. Though by no means intensely sweet, the flavor j of the drink reminds me of an old-style hard candy like Werther's Original. Its creamy texture and smooth, warm sensation boosts its luxury factor - each sip makes me feel as if I'm indulging in something delightfully decadent. Considering that the classic White Russian contains cream, which can be substituted for with milk, it's a little, beverage that can be quite naughty to your waistline. Also, don't be fooled by its innocent appearance. Having more than one of these little beauties can make the unsuspecting drinker go from pleasantly warm and relaxed to downright debauched in surprisingly little time. Thus, unlike The Dude, I tend to reserve the White Russian for treats and special occasions. Making your own White Russian is simple: toss some ice into an old-fashioned glass, add 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce Kahlua, and fill with light cream. Substituting Vanilla vodka (I use Absolut Vanilia) will add another subtle layer offlavor,making the drink taste even more like a delicious candy confection. Enjoy! Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride �A THE PRIDE Movie review: ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer I've heard the song many times on the local country radio stations; I just never really connected it to the movie "Flicka," until now. Listening to it, though, in the car or at home, I've always found myself a little misty-eyed at the end of the song as it reminds "Flicka me of my own father. Now, sitting in an almost barren movie theater with a mob of 5-year-old girls a few rows over and the 9-yr-old boy I babysit looking at me like I'm" crazy, "My Little Girl," by Tim McGraw anthems as the credits roll, and I once again find myself mistyeyed. Inspired by the much-loved novel "My Friend Flicka," by Mary O'Hara, the adapted fulllength motion picture, "Flicka," is for those of all ages, especially for those young at heart. Starring Alison Lohman as Mary McLaughlin and a shaven Tim McGraw in his first acting role as Mary's father, "Flicka'Ms an endearing and enjoyable story of a 16-yr-old girl who discovers herself in the wild mustang she finds, befriends, and names Flicka. Determined to follow her family legacy and run her father's horse ranch, Mary finds the wild horse in the hills of modern day Wyoming, and quicklyfindsthat she and Flicka are more alike than she could have ever dreamed. Unwilling to give up her freedom, both Mary and Flicka face challenges and loss in the film. Capturing the connection that can be made between a girl and her animal companion, in this case a wild mustang, "Flicka" personifies the transition from adolescence to adulthood and the rocky journey one can experience along the way. Uesday, 7,2006 Tuesday; November 7> 2006 Ü J & C E- ^ A feel-sood Watching the interaction and realizations made by Mary in her relationship with Flicka, and through Mary and her relationship with her father, I found a deeper appreciation for the good things in life and the opportunities we all have each day to chase our dreams and become the person we wish to be. The transformation that happens within Mary, Flicka, and Mary's father in thefilmis humbling, and even though it's just a movie, it inspires a multitude of ideas and new hopes. Set in the lush and beautiful landscapes of the hills and mountains that decorate Wyoming, more than anything, the scenery and nature in "Flicka" awakened this urge and need inside myself to pick up and take off into the wilderness: to get back to nature, to be free from civilization, and to be free in nature's beauty. It seems that in the middle of nowhere, somewhere lost in Cre- il flick Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox ation, somewhere amidst the natural world, and somewhere away from everything is else is the exact place to take a moment to find yourself. A kid-friendly flick and tearjerker at times, "Flicka" is a film that gives you your money's worth, along with a few parting thoughts. Though it wouldn't be my first box office pick, I would highly recommend "Flicka" to anyone looking to do a little soulsearching. �Tuesday, November 7, 2006 THE PRIDE Photos by Sophie Brißi fThç If it � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In 1993 a single officer from the Coronado Police Department loaded his police car with 12 brand new teddy bears and drove to what was known as Children's Hospital to deliver the teddy bears to the sick and injured children. Since then, the Children's Hospital has changed its name to Rady Children's Hos- I pital and now, the Teddy Bear Drive is a year-long event which will end on December 12. Instead of one single officer, a caravan of 100 police vehicles filled with stuffed animals travel to the Coronado Community Center. From there, the teddy bears are delivered to Rady Children's Hospital. As tradition, the officers will walk inside the hospital in full uniform with teddy bears in hand, awaiting the smiling faces of children as they hand out the bears. Last year, CSUSM helped to donate 430 bears. A large sum of money was also donated to the Campus Police which made it possible for the hospital to buy more Ü S See TEDDYBEAR, page 2 IIS!ISy^ffv^Ä i Tue. Nov 14 71/59 F F Partly cloudy Wed.

Through Paloma Elementary School and The Early Learning Center, ASI has contacted 16 families in need and on Thanksgiving, these families will enjoy a pleasant meal. This year will mark the sixth year ASI has taken part in the Turkey Basket Drive. According to ASI's Student Coordinator of Activities, Sara Gallegos, "It gives the CSUSM community a chance to give back to the families in need around the area," she says. When ASI assigned each student a family, they included the age and gender make-up of each family member. Each student signed up is expected to cover the cost of a turkey in the form of a gift card, as well as other non perishables that would add to a nice Thanksgiving meal. On November 21, ASI will collect the baskets and deliver them to the Early Learning Center where an ELC employee will deliver the baskets to the families.

Coach Ron Pulvers, who before the season believed his squad would be very competitive from day one, saw them struggle to get off the starting block. The Cougars were outscored 14-3 in those first seven games, and clearly were having trouble buying into the system and playing together. But with their backs against the wall, the Cougar women refused to fold. Seemingly from nowhere, they started playing much better in all phases of the game. The first evidence of this came in the eighth game of the season, where the Cougars outplayed La Sierra University but still found themselves headed into overtime with the game knotted at 2. While the squad might have been discouraged by this earlier in the year, the Cougars came together to get the result they believed they deserved. Off the overtime kickoff, Courtney Drummond, who had scored the squad's first two goals of the match, volleyed a pass from Kelly Wherry into the net, putting an official end to the Cougars' sluggish start to the season. After "turning the corner" in that game, the women would continue to build momentum. They went 62-1 in their final nine games, finishing the year with a respectable 7-8-1 record; which, as Coach Pulvers points out, could have easily been much better without some late blown leads. What was the turning point? According to the players, it was not a single event, but rather the collective realization that they could indeed trust and rely on each other, and that being a true "team" was key to success. They began hanging out more outside of soccer, genuinely enjoying each others' .company and bonding with one another. In the words of Drummond, "it all clicked" as this was happening. Coach Pulvers wholeheartedly agrees: "It took the girls a while to come out of their shells and get along," he says. "Midway through the season they caught on. That's when we started playing better." 2006 was indeed a tale of two teams for Pulvers. As the squad developed, early-season frustration was replaced with pride, as well as optimism about the team's potential for next year. Players grew into their roles, leaders began to emerge, and the team became a lot of fun to watch. Indeed, the joy of following the Cougars this year was in watching a group of individual players come together as a team. Of the many Cougars that made and defense. She also contributed count on.

Men's Soccer 2006 Season Review: Roaring past expectations R u l fvlp TrAmKlpif By Kyle Trembley It's easy to look back on the 2006 men's soccer season and play the "what if" game. After all, while the squad was a sparkling 12-3-1 on the year and undeniably one of the best in the region, when the time came to announce the playoffs, the Cougars were left on the outside looking in. What if the team had won in just once in those three losses? What if they hadn't tied Chapman College late in the season? What if the playoffs weren't structured in a way that allotted a maximum of one slot to independent teams? But focusing on those questions unfairly draws attention away from the fact that it was truly an amazingfirstseason for men's soccer at Cal State San Marcos. Coach Ron Pulvers sums it up: "If you would've made a deal with me before the season saying that we'd go 12-3-1 but miss the playoffs, I would've taken it in a second." That's because going into the year, nobody knew what to expect. Aided by Assistant Coaches Bobby Renneisen and Davy Phillips, Coach Pulvers recruited a group of guys - mostly freshmen - during last spring, in the hopes that they'd come together by the season's beginning. But in training camp and preseason, the squad's performance was decidedly underwhelming. They were fast, yes, but didn't appear to be playing with enough passion or toughness to compete at a high level Then, after a hard-fought road loss at Cal Baptist in their first game, the Cougars came home to i. participate in the f£ X irst-ever i•ntercollegiate sporting event held at Cal State San Marcos. On August 25th, the squad entered Mangrum Field to take on heavily-favored Cal Poly Pomona. An unexpectedly large and rowdy crowd of fans came down from the University Village to cheer on the Cougars, and President Karen S. Haynes as well as other key CSUSM figures were in attendance. What they saw was a Cougar squad that came together in front of their eyes. With the game tied at l-l in thefinalminute, freshman forward Michael Nuovo outran the Pomona defense to a loose ball, and tucked it under the keeper to give the Cougars a very dramatic first win in the program's history. They'd never look back. Following the Pomona victory, the squad rattled off six straight wins, outscoring their opponents by a total of 2l-l. Thefinalgame in that stretch was a 1-0 win against Point Loma Nazerene, a nationally-ranked school in the NAIA. Though the Cougars fell in overtime to Vanguard the following match, they wonfiveof theirfinalseven games to close out the season. But the question remains: How did the team gofrommoderate expectations (at best) right before the season to a 12-3-1 record on the year? Accoring to Coach Pulvers, it was all about team chemistry. "The season is a sprint, not a marathon," says Pulvers. "Ï underestimated how quickly the guys would get along. They genuinely liked each other and bought in to our system." In trying to find the major cata- 1f . „ lyst for it1 • cihemistry, one need not his look further than Ben Crouse. For thefirstthree years of his collegiate playing career, Crouse competed at the University of Notre Dame, starting on their defense for most of his junior season. His arrival at CSUSM gave the program instant credibility; and more importantly, gave the young squad a leader. "Benny [Crouse] was the key," remarked Pulvers. "His experience and personality brought the team together." Crouse anchored the group both on and off the field, and his vocal leadership combined with his willingness to buy into the coaches' system set the tone early for the younger members of the squad. Crouse, a senior, was appointed captain early on by Coach Pulvers, because (in Pulvers' words) "it was a no-brainef." On the season, Crouse recorded 5 goals and 2 assists, and was named to the All-Region team - no small feat, given that CSUSM is not even in a conference. While Crouse brought leadership and rock-solid play, it was up to the freshmen to provide the flare - and they delivered. Forwards Michael Nuovo and Curtis Marcikic drove opposing defenses crazy with their speed and creativity. Nuovo, whose ability to weave through defenders produced some of the squad's most impressive plays of the year, finished second on the team with 9 goals. He also recorded the program'sfirst-everhat trick in a loss to Santa Cruz. Marcikic, who provided the attack with muchneeded size, tacked on 6 more goals as well as 6 assists.

However, Vera, who is a perfect 3 -0 in the UFC, all by knockout or submissions and 7-0 overall, is not going to lie down easy. Vera has strong ground game and powerful striking ability. This should be a great fight. This historic night also features such big names like Nick Diaz, Joe "Daddy" Stephenson and James "Sandman" Irvin. Once the Thanksgiving dinner has settled in and the Christmas buzz is gone, j ust as we get ready to bring in the New Year, the UFC has one last g ift for us. Two words people: Ortiz/Liddell. Their first fight was a good one, which was mostly dominated by the Ice Man. However, Ortiz was an immature, cocky punk in their first fight; now he is a mature, cocky older punk. Ortiz has learned a lot since his loss to Iceman and will come out that night looking to take the Ice Man's belt. Chuck Liddell has been on a winning streak since beating Randy Couture for the belt over a year ago. This night also has the tfeturn of the Pit bull Andrei Arlovski, who is coming off his loss to Tim Sylvia. The ever popular Forrest Griffin will be jumping back into the Octagon to take on Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine as well.

The term began when O'Riley used Web 2.0 as the title for a series of conferences held during 2004. Web 2.0 generally refers to a second generation of websites. The new era for the internet consists of social networking sites and communication tools. Web 2.0 focuses on the user of the internet as the contributor of information. Together users form a type of informational network that other users benefit from. Web 2.0 seems to be a community on the internet. Other examples of Web 2.0 are wikipedia.com, myspace.com, youtube.com, and amazon.com. These sites all have one thing in common: that users can contribute to the website, enriching, the content that other users can potentially benefit from. Although Web 2.0 is the common term used for the new breed of websites, many people and technological companies are skeptical of the phrase for numerous reasons. Some people argue that by labeling these new web sites 2.0 implies that the new era is merely un update version of original or common websites such AOL 9.0 and AOL 10.0. They argue that Web 2.0 should be labeled entirely different. Others have labeled Web 2.0 as a buzzword that has negative the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate.

And although the blame for our failures in Iraq rests with the secretary, it will be the troops who bear its brunt." Some conservatives argue that Rumsfeld's departure will do nothing to fix the stalemate. "The issue isn't Rumsfeld, it's Bush and the prosecution of this war," said conservative talk show host and former San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock during an election night interview.

Last Tuesday, I covered the San Diego General Elections for "The Associated Press." It was the second time I covered an election day, and this time I learned a lot more than the first time. I also had a lot more fun since I got to cover it with my friend, Chantai Pasag, whose experience about the night is also detailed. I covered the Primary Élections in June for the "AP" and it was a terrifying experience, because I was so concerned with not screwing up. This time I had an idea of what was expected, so I was able to learn a lot about the behind the scenes type stuff involved with elections. I had the opportunity to ven- * ture into some rooms that many will never see, and meet some very interesting people. Around 2 AM, we were taken into the wherehouse where all the ballots and machines are taken from trucks and transported down an assembly line of people, eventually leading to the tabulation room. I felt like I was miniaturized, placed into some sort of a machine, witnessing gears operate and function like nothing I had seen before. I met David Morten when I covered the Primaries. I am not quite sure what his official title is, but he is good at his job. He passed the time with us past 3AM. He made the wee hours of the morning much more enjoyable as he provided someone to crack jokes with. I have never been comfortable around police officers or sheriffs, so you can imagine my discomfort when we spent most of the night around five sheriffs. I think they could see my discomfort, but by the end of the night we were all buddies. The security at the registrar of voter's building is quite intense. Even the lowest people in the bureaucracy question who you are, which led to me getting in some arguments, as you can imagine me with my "don't take crap" personality. Chantal and I have been members of the media for some time now, but this provided an opportunity to meet some new people in our profession. I met Sasha Foo from KUSI, a co-worker of Chantal's, who was very nice. I also met Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB News eight, who is a fellow Lakers fan, and had a lot of advice to offer about the T.V. media business. Since voting is a right and responsibility that people often times take for granted, it was great to feel like an important part of the process. Build your Resume more info; pride@csusm.edu BY CHANTAL PASAG Special to The Pride I have to admit I was "riding the high horse" this past Election Day as I had the privilege to work for one of the most prominent news sources in the nation, "The Associated Press." That night, the polls were about to close, and the line was still around the building. Unfortunately, for some last minute voters, they were cut off from trying to perform their civic duty. The way that some people react under stress is the way a voting machine reacts when being tampered with... they go ballistic. Under the pressures of voting, one woman proclaimed that "voting is not a right, it's a responsibility!" Recalling what she said post Election Day provoked the thought of the media's responsibility to report the number of voting machine glitches county wide, statewide, and nation wide. Fortunatelyrthe resignation of Donald Rumsfeld and the democratic take over of the house and senate saturated headlines. Of course it should, because that's huge! But what about the glitches? Apparently there were some problems at a polling location of a CSUSM professor. She says her husband got to vote twice because of technical difficulties with the machines. The "San Diego Union Tribune" reported on the matter saying glitches were reported in dozens of precincts earlier that day. Apparently, voters became frustrated as they were unable to use computerized voting machines and were "forced to use paper ballots instead." The role that I played election night, a reporter for the AP San Diego division, was pertinent to the entire election process. Just as the media, particularly television plays a pertinent role as an information outlet to our society. Most people look for convenience when it comes to information, but convenience lacks relevant information. So, not only is it our civic responsibility to vote, but it's our responsibility to seek out various news sources rather than relying on one. I've come down from my high horse since that night. The entire experience was very interesting. I got to converse with sheriff investigators about taser guns and I-pods, which was an unusual mix of small talk. Also, some cronies from my everyday job at KUSI stopped by for their live shots at the registrar of voter's office. I also had the chance to briefly chat with Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB channel eight. It's a nice dose of reality to know that most of the professionals I talked with had a good sense of humor. For the people in this industry, having a sense of humor is what keeps them sane, as the news can sometimes disconnect them from human suffering. As former comedian Victor Borge said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."

I'm past my kegger days, and at restaurants when everyone else orders a beer, I order a pop. So you could imagine my surprise last week, when I tasted the Lightning Kolsch and actually liked it. A beer!? That I like! Lightning Kolsch doesn't leave that aftertaste in your mouth that leads you to wonder, "Why am I drinking this?" It tastes sweet, but not too sweet like a frou-frou fruity mixed drink. Also, it's locally brewed, so you'll be supporting the community! So if you're still searching for a beer that you enjoy the taste of, Lightning Kolsch is a great choice. BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride StaffWriter Housed with authentic German-styled brewing machinery, the beers Lightning Brewery makes are tasty and cheerful. Gearing up to celebrate their annual 'Lightning Fest'. at Churchills this Thursday, November 16, there will be plenty of Lighting Kolsch to go around. Coming in at a low 4.6% alcohol by volume, this beer is a delightful and sweet addition to any meal; so good, I just couldn't get enough of the citrus-flavored treat when I paired it with a scrumptious French dip. Designed to be a lighter beer that consumers can enjoy one round after the other, Lightning Kolsch will tantalize your taste buds and paint a warm glow on your cheeks; that is after two or three pints of course. I've tasted many a beer since turning 21, but this one might just take the cake as the sweetest, most spectacular beer I've ever4 had; heck, it's so sweet it could be a cake in itself. Drink of the Week B O N D M ARTINI BY DAVID-BAUER Pride StaffWriter martini that was shaken rather than stirred as a 'Bond martini'. Martinis are traditionally made with gin rather than vodka, and shaking vodka is generally avoided. When vodka, or any alcohol, is shaken it creates tiny air bubbles making it appear cloudy. These air bubbles prevent the alcohol from reaching all of the taste buds when it's drunk. Some vodka martini enthusiasts claim that makes the Bond martini the perfect palate cleanser. As Bond says in Casino Royale, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large, I confess that I'm not a big beer fancier. I much prefer sampling from the vast array of pleasures that make up the cocktail cosmos. Lightning Kolsch, however, has nudged the door to a new realm of possibilities slightly ajar. Brewed by local Lightning Brewery, the Lightning Kolsch is a light, German-style beer meant for easy drinking. Light-golden in hue, this beer is low in alcohol but infinitely flavorful. The flavor, however, is a subtle one. The sweet malt flavor, combined with the fruity, floral aroma combine for a truly delightful drinking experience. From champagne to bourbon to Raki, throughout Ian Fleming's novels, James Bond tried a number of drinks. In Fleming's first novel "Casino Royale" though, James Bond laid out the ingredients to what would become his trademark drink: a vodka martini—shaken not stirred. Later in the same novel, Bond would name his drink "The Vesper" after the sensuous Vesper Lynd. For decades afterwards though, people would refer to any vodka and very strong, and very cold, and very well-made." And the drink is well made; the exact ingredients are given in the beginning of the novel, "a dry martini... in a deep champagne goblet... three measures of Gordon's [gin], one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet [vermouth]. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, and then add a large thin slice^of lemon-peel." Set off by the sharp citrus of the lemon, this martini is cool and refreshing and cleanses the palate. "Bruising" the gin by shaking it with ice, also adds additional water to the mixture as the ice is broken apart lightening the taste. This of course means that the Bond martini does not have much personality in itself and is not much of a stand alone beverage. As an Photo by Sophie Brink / The Pride aperitif it does quite well, however, unlike its namesake Vesper Lynd, it lacks personality, complexity and body. CD Review: Secret Apollo, "Homemade Time Machine" 9 # # ^ BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride StaffWriter As bizarre as they are, I can't help but love Secret Apollo. They are so inexplicable, and so weird that I found myself laughing more than I found myself cursing their repetitious chorus lines and crazy 18 tracks of noise on "Homemade Time Machine."

They have expressed outrage over his pale, blonde, blue-eyed visage. They've started webbased campaigns. They've even threatened to boycott. I say, go ahead. I do so hate an over-crowded theater. To be fair, however, I must admit my uncertainty over the decision to cast Craig as the larger-than-life super-agent. 1 have my favorite Bond, as Vm sure most of you James Bond f ans do. How would this newcomer stack up against my ideal 007? With somewhat jaded anticipation I awaited his debut. I've seen Bonds come and go. I'm used to the routine. Yet, when Daniel Craig uttered his first line as the famous spy, my cool composure started to melt. There's a new Bond in town, thought 1, and he's packing heat, all right. As the first of Ian Fleming's novels, "Casino Royale" seems the perfect vehicle for Craig's new Bond. It introduces the hero just as he is attaining "00" status. The audience witnesses his first two kills and, perhaps more importantly, his reaction to them. A rugged; ruthless Bond, Craig takes up the challenge begun by Timothy Dalton to humanize a character that had become, under Roger Moore's watch, a parody of itself to another level. With his electric blue eyes, perpetual pout, and painfully athletic approach to fight scenes, Craig's Bond seems the right combination of charm and grit. His is a bloody Bond, a fallible Bond, and, dare I say it, a vulnerable Bond. After a mission goes horribly wrong, Bond runs off to the Bahamas - to follow the trail of a poker genius, a banker by the name of Le M Qj\SINO ROYALE C hiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) whose client list includes infamous terrorist organizations. The stunning Eva Green (who starred in Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom) plays Vesper Lvnd, a British Treasury official with a sharp mind and a ready w it whose job is to provide and watch over Bond's stake in a poker game the outcome of which may bring terrorist operations crashing down. Judi Dench reprises her role as M, the no-nonsense head of M16, whose presence onscreen always adds a silvery highlight of pure class and whose feelings towards Bond seem as complex as ever. If her role in "Casino Royale" has a flaw, it is only that there is not enough of M in the film. Overall, "Casino Royale" is a delicate balance between blood and wit, which in itself is not Unusual; however, it is the gritty, engaging manner in which this new Bond alternately engages in fight scenes and delivers cheeky one-liners that wins my approval and hope that Daniel Craig will return as James, Bond in future films. "Casino Royale" will be in theaters 17 November.

Professors Jodi Lawston and Sharon Elise are leaders of the coalition and will be spearheading the event. The coalition is still in its beginning stages on campus and it aims to expose the inequality of prisoners in women's prisons. In 1995 the California Coalition for Women's Prisons began in the Bay Area when a lawsuit titled Wilson vs. Shumate sparked attention toward the inadequacies of the healthcare system for women in prison. Since 1999, Lawston has been involved with prison activism. Lawston is currently in the midst of researching women in prison, social justice movements, and resistance to oppression within the prison system. According to Lawston, nine women died in 2000 from wrongful deaths in a six week time span. Most of the women were in their 30s or 40s and died from such illnesses as asthma attacks, Hepatitis C and AIDS. Each of these women lived and suffered with the illnesses without knowing they were ill. After their deaths, officials found that the illnesses were explicitly stated in their files and that they had been denied of proper medical treatment. Following this situation, the legislator decided that something had to be done, but until this day, nothing has been accomplished in forwarding a better health system for women in prison. When asked why prisoners are mistreated, Lawston replied, "Prisoners are an isolated group of people, they're not heard about in the media, they're invisible in the population of people. The idea is that people in prison did something wrong so they deserved to be punished." Lawston added, "An average of 65 prisoners have been dying every year due to poor medical care." The improper treatment of women in Prison led Lawston and Professor Sharon Elise to lead the CSUSM chapter for the California Coalition for Women Prisons. Lawston says, "We are striving to raise awareness of the major problems and human rights violations that occur in the criminal justice system everyday; from racial profiling to the lack of adequate medical care. Like the mission statement of the main chapter of CCWP in the Bay Area, we want to raise public consciousness about the cruel and inhumane conditions under which women in prison live, and advocate for positive changes." Recently, a young woman, whose identity is being withheld in respect to her family, died in the Vista Detention Center. According to Lawston, "On September 19, she was pulled over for reasons that are still unknown." She was arrested and sent to the Vista Detention Center. Once in jail, she communicated with her family and told them she was receiving a blood test because she was suspected of driving under the influence of a drug. Due to her poor health, she was confined to a medical cell. The guard on watch could see her through the window in the door. Two days later, she began to hyperventilate. A few hours later, it appeared that she was sleeping in her bed. A few hours before she was pronounced dead, she was seen lying on thefloorof her cell. When her family met with the medical examiner, the examiner told the family that the result of her death would have to wait, pending the results from toxicology. To this date, her family still does not know the cause of her death. In remembrance for her death, the CSUSM chapter of CCWP will hold the vigil on December 2 at noon in front of the Vista Detention Center. Lawston says, "This made us realize that little work was being done in North County around prison abuse, and we have Vista and The California Institute for Women right in our backyards. We also have many students who have family or friends in prison. We wanted to raise awareness of this recent death, and on a larger scale, the abuses that go on in the prison system all the time." During the vigil, CSUSM's CCWP will be handing outflowersand lighting candles in her honor, and they will also present her family with flowers. Guest speakers will discuss the healthcare crisis in California's prisons and jails. Lawston says, "The knowledge that will be gained from this vigil is important because the degradation of human dignity in prisons, of our fellow citizens, reflects who we are as a society." !"

From CIA SEMINAR, page 1 stitutes a large number of CIA employees. This massive shortage in the CIA has lead to a hiring campaign that has also created new opportunities for the CIA. The CIA travels to campuses across the nation in hopes of hiring young, mature college students. The speakers for the seminar were Joe Dorcy, who recruits for the Clandestine Service of the CIA, and Michael Mow, who is head of the West Coast Recruiting Office for the CIA. "The primary mission of the CIA is to collect, evaluate, and disseminate foreign intelligence to assist the President and Senior U.S. government policymakers in making decisions for national security. The CIA is not a law enforcement agency and the CIA does not make foreign policy," stated Dorcy who wanted to clearly communicate the purpose of the CIA. Throughout the seminar a few key points were stressed by both Dorcy and Mow: the CIA is looking for students with integrity, maturity, motivation, the willingness to live outside of the U.S. or in Langley Virginia where the CIA Headquarters are located, and they are looking for students with traveling experience and fluency in foreign languages, especially Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Dari, and Pashto. The CIA offers a summer internship for third year college students. To enter the CIA Professional Trainee Program, students must apply nine months prior to entering the program and must be at least 21 years of age. Students who currently want to enter the internship have already passed the November 1 Coordinator at Cal Poly Pomona's Counseling and Psychological Services, Herzog 4s also highly trained in addressing sensitive awareness about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. An advocate for LGBT persons, Dr. Herzog's latest book is entitled, "GET OUT!" which deals with the sensitivity of the coming out process. In addition to the Human Development Research Conference, there will be a free preconference Mock-GRE event happening on December 2, sponsored by Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. The Mock-GRE will be held in Commons 206. Checkin time is 9:45 a.m., testing from 10:00 a.m;-12:00 p.m. and the results will be given back at the Human Development Research Conference during the Kaplan session.

Pozner is a widely published journalist and media critic whose essays have appeared in anthologies such as "What Do We Do Now?" and "The W Effect: Bush's War on Womenl" She founded Women In Media & News in 2001 and is the organizer of the National Feminist Coalition on Public Broadcasting. Pozrier is also involved in many other feminist organizations and acts as a media critic regularly. Jennifer Pozner came to CSUSM with a mission to reveal what she felt may have been hidden from the citizens of our nation as established by a bias media. The discussion that she brought at hand was centered on media's reaction to Hurricane Katrina during its occurrence, as well as its affect one year later. She opened the discussion with a reference to the New York Times headline on the day of Katrina's one year anniversary, which read "A Year After Katrina, Bush Still Fights for 9/11 Image." Her fighting position about a bias media deadline and will have to wait until next fall semester to apply. The internship pays a proportional salary equal to that of an entering CIA agent. To enter the program, all students must apply online at the CIA website. A phone interview or a possible sit down interview will then be conducted. If the interview is a success then the CIA will send out a packet to the student. The packet includes SF-86 security clearance forms, financial forms and health documents. If the CIA approves the information in the packet, then the CIA will then conduct a polygraph test along with a physical and psychological evaluation. Mow said, "You must not have tried an illegal drug within one year and not have a history of financial irresponsibility," Mow suggested a few things for the is first recognized in her concern of those ultimately victimized by such a tragedy but were so easily disregarded due to a priority in the seemingly more important affect in politics. "Notice, there's no word from the times, by the way, as to whether the victims have yet to recover." claimed Pozner, as she further stated her case that the victims of Katrina have not received due recognition for their suffering. Further on into the discussion, listeners were reminded of the infamous racial controversy that our society has always seemed to return to under any circumstance. Pozner quoted captions of pictures from past articles during the hurricane;' questioning why "Blacks were said to have 'stolen food' from abandoned places whereas whites were said to have 'found food,' though it was the same'concept." She also quoted and criticized "The O'Reilly Factor's" Bill O'Reilly, and his comments, not only on race, but gender and politics as well. She then concluded her message with possible solutions that should, or can be taken, with high hopes that someday these solutions may just be put to the test; if only media would serve what she felt was proper and adequate information to the people at large. Pozner commented that CSUSM was one of the first campuses in a year to be willing to hold a discussion of such a controversial topic as is the media's take on Hurricane Katrina and politics in America. online application. "Take your time when filling out the application, copy and save your information because you will not be able to edit your information later on. The objective box which we read first is the last question on the application so make sure you fill this out thoroughly. Mention that you attended the CSUSM CIA seminar. Explain why you want to work for the CIA and why you feel you are competitive," said Mow. A career in the CIA has great benefits such as a 401K savings plan, a credit union, a work and family center, a child care center, annual and sick leave, life insurance, alternative retirement system, and great travel opportunities. Entering CIA agents can earn between $47,000—70,000 a year. Sign on bonuses can be up to $30,000 for people with specific foreign languages such as Arabic. All relocation costs are paid for by the CIA. Dorcy has two college educated children and a wife. He and his family have spent 60-70 percent of his 25-year career with the CIA outside the U.S., moving every three to four years. When asked by a student if CIA agents were allowed to have families, Dorcy answered, "Of course, 80% of the CIA has married; your family will be moved with you, your children will always attend the best schools, and your housing and living costs will always be paid for." Another student asked when they should start the application process. Both Dorcy and Mow responded simultaneously, "Now!"

A picture consisting of two UVA residents holding an open bottle of champagne in what is questionably University Village Apartments was submitted to UVA staff. This picture would later find those in it in violation of UVA's alcohol paraphernalia code. According to the involved parties, on the night they were drinking at the UVA, no incident report was made by any resident advisor, nor was there any form of complaint or notice of violation given to any party member. Twelve days later, the involved parties all received a strike from UVA Resident Director Ryan McRae after the Facebook pictures had been posted and turned in anonymously. With two more strikes, residents can be permanently evicted from the UVA. Also according to the parties involved, on October 13 each received a neon pink flyer stating that "they had received a package" at the front desk. The same flyer all UVA residents receive when they have a package in the mail that is too large to fit in their mail box informing them that in order to receive the package they must go to the front desk and sign for it. However, after arriving at the front desk to receive the package, they were informed there was no package and were all given a strike notice instead. When asked why residents received this particular flyer before they received the strike notice, McRae said, u We want to make sure the residents receive the notice." McRae described how last year the UVA staff would deliver the strike notices to the residents' apartments but when that particular resident wasn't home, the strike notice would never leave the hands of his or her roommate. "On the back of my letter was a black and white picture of me and my roommate and our friend holding a bottle of champagne. We weren't drinking [from] it; my friend was just holding it in [their] hand. My roommates a ll. Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride A SI board members discuss Prominence Pilot Project. got different pictures." Shortly after receiving the strike notices, a meeting with the UVA Resident Director was scheduled. Each of the residents held pending strikes against them and were told that they needed to schedule a one-on-one appointment with McRae. During the meeting, they were told that the source of the printed photographs was anonymous. "At the meeting, we all admitted that we had been drinking and we each received one alcohol strike." McRae said, "Sometimes we get envelopes in our box marked UVA and we won't know what it is till we open it. It's always from residents who choose to remain anonymous." McRae described that especially last year, the UVA directors experienced a huge influx of anonymous residents turning in other resident's photographs found on Myspace or Facebook accounts. " I would hate for students to lose an opportunity with a career to pictures on their Myspace or Facebook, pictures they wouldn't want to see out there." The undisclosed resident received a strike because they were underage and drank alcohol on UVA property. McRae says, "When the photograph captures a resident breaking UVA policy, then they will receive a strike. It works the same way if we see a picture of someone climbing out of the third story window. Basically, anything that could kill them." All resident's who receive a strike regarding alcohol must attend one alcohol class. The parties in mention received a strike because they were underage and they broke the policy stated in the UVA handbook. Under the Alcohol, Drugs, and Paraphernalia section of the UVA handbook, it reads, "We do not search for images of residents drinking, but digital images or photographs are useable for proof of consumption if it occurs on UVA property." The undisclosed resident also received a flyer addressing the alcohol class. The flyer is titled Alcohol Class and reads, "Location: Community Building. Bring a piece of paper and a pen. Good times. If you can't make it, you will need to write a 6 page paper on "The Dangers of Binge Drinking on College Campuses. See you there!" Below the text is an image of what looks to be an intoxicated man holding a bottle of alcohol. "This letter was not appropriate and it basically made fun of our situation," said the resident. When asked . about the flyer, McRae said, "I want to be fun about it. I know college kids drink. I get that. But this class isn't like traffic school. It's about being successful in school, it's about making healthy choices that won't have a negative impact on education. During the alcohol meetings^? residents share their experiences with each other. McRae says, "Students will learn from each other more than they'll learn from me." The resident also commented that "This doesn't make me want to live in the UVA again because I feel that instead of understanding that we are all at college and experiencing new things, I feel like I'm being babysat and every single thing we do is subject to punishment in any way possible. With this in mind it's obvious with the amount of freshmen and other students going to Prominence every weekend, that the students don't feel comfortable drinking at the dorms so they resort to going somewhere else where they feel they won't get in trouble." What i of protestors Armed with signs reading "Reed, Reed, give the people what they need" for example, the large gathering of CSU members took to the streets of Long Beach as a smaller group of enthusiasts entered the meeting itself to present a pledge called "Pledge for the Future of CSU" to the trustees. The pledge calls for lower tuition, the cut of all 'perks' for CSU executives and the allocation of that money specifically for student instruction, as well as compiling fair compensation contracts for all faculty and CSU staff in the future. Without being able to carry out their meeting, trustees waited in silence with the ensuing presentation of the pledge unfolding in the meeting chambers with protests still ringing loud outside. Unable to coerce the protestors to leave, the trustees surrendered and signed the proposed pledge and exited the building. Located on the CSUSM California Faculty Association's website, the President of CFA, John Travis saysi "Faculty members at every campus can describe the impact the bad decisions and misplaced priorities of this CSU administration has had on them and on their students: They are cutting campus budgets at Humboldt, Sacramento, L.A., Dominguez Hills, and East Bay, while they pay former executives millions for nothing long after they have left the CSU," further explaining, "It's not our nature as academics to disrupt meetings. But we have our responsibility to fight for our students, for the university and for ourselves and our families. That responsibility is what moved us today to send the Trustees running." Many faculty and students on campus at CSUSM shared this sentiment as 40 CSUSM professors and 25 CSUSM students participated in the protest. The impact of the spending made by CSU Trustees is great as the California State University system is the largest state school system in the nation. Enrolling more than 400,000 students each year and employing roughly 40,000 faculty and staff, the CSU system has and continues to educate Californians with its 23 campuses located all over the state.

The challenge was filed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and asked the state courts to stop the state from enforcing Prop. 215: the proposition permitting the use of marijuana for medical purposes. In 1996, 55% San Diegans voted to support the Compassionate Use Act, Proposition 215, for the use of marijuana for medical purposes. The law requires counties in California to issue identification cards to medical marijuana users and also maintain a registry of people who apply for them. The law allows patients with AIDS, anorexia, arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, migraine and "any other illness for which marijuana provides r elief' to possess or grow marijuana in small amounts with the recommendation of a doctor. Since its passing 10 states have created similar laws to allow for the use of marijuana by patients and protection for them against prosecution. And recently, a poll taken by the Marijuana Policy Project, a pro-medical marijuana organization, found that 78% of voters polled in the county opposed the law- suit. However, one state, South Dakota, rejected a ballot measure last week that would have permitted medical marijuana use. San Diego County is one of only three counties in California that have opposed the proposition. San Bernardino and Merced County's Boards of Supervisors in January filed similar suits which were consolidated with the suitfiledby San Diego. The lawsuit argues that in accordance with the supremacy clause of the United States' Constitution, federal law is supreme therefore the existing federal laws prohibiting the use of marijuana for any purpose overrides any state law California has passed. Last June, in a case on a related topic, the Supreme Court ruled that federal authorities could prosecute crimes even in states like California. Nonetheless, the ruling passed down by San Diego Superior Court Judge William R. Nevitt Jr. took the matter under submission. This ruling tentatively struck down the County's suit after the initial arguments. After the tentative ruling, the County's lawyers gave oral arguments later that day, but again did not succeed in changing the mind of the court. The argument, given by San Diego lawyer Thomas Bunton, focused mainly on states' requirements to fully enforce federal laws. The California Department of Justice's ruling indicates that in the view of the court, they were not. The court's final ruling, which will most likely remain against the suit, is expected sometime in December. While county voters do not appear to favor the lawsuit, there is a good chance the County Supervisors may appeal the courts decision. San Diego County receives $4.3 billion dollars from the government, most of which are federal dollars. By not complying with federal law, the cash strapped county could potentially be denied that money. Lawyers for Merced County announced in front of the judge that the county would appeal the decision and would be requesting a stay for the duration of the litigation. San Diego County lawyers have not yet announced whether they will appeal the decision or not, and may wait on issuing a statement hoping that the court will change its mind for the final ruling. I Mfi* f JL . & - Hawaii mm * States allowing medicinal use �New doors opened by Gates W ith Donald Rumsfield's resignation, a new foreign policy is in place BY MARTIN GALA Pride Staff Writer The elections on November 7 proved that Americans are eager for change. Democrats reclaimed power over the House of Representatives by a comfortable margin, and managed to take back the Senate by only one seat. The Republicans loss of Congress allegedly led to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's resignation. While some students may be unaware of his resignation, it could potentially cause major changes in the lives of many students. Rumsfeld was a principal member of a small group called the National Security Council whose purpose is formulating the goals and objectives of United States foreign policy, and creating the means in which to obtain those goals. As Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld was in charge of managing the Pentagon which controls all military branches including the Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy. This means that his decisions affected the deployment of troops, including units stationed at Camp Pendleton, Miramar Air Station and other surrounding bases that many students and students' families are stationed at. In recent days, there has been controversy as to whether Rumsfeld personally resigned, or if he was forced out of the Bush Administration. The White House refused to comment about any actual details pertaining to the buildup of Rumsfeld's dismissal, but recent speculation amongst analysts indicates that the preparations have been on the minds of many high ranking officials within the Bush administration for quite some time. There were numerous advocates of the former defense secretary's resignation; First Lady Laura Bush, former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and not to mention numerous high ranking Generals that publicly announced their dissatisfaction of Rumsfeld's leadership within the Pentagon. According to numerous political analysts, President Bush had been reluctant to oust Rumsfeld earlier because of their close relationship. The President's loyalty to the former Secretary of Defense held strong despite the growing amount of public criticism over the past few Photo courtesy of www.dod.gov years over his mishandling of the war in Iraq. Soon after Donald Rumsfeld was forced to resign, the White House announced that they had selected a promising replacement. On November 8, 2006 President George W. Bush nominated Dr. Robert M. Gates to be the next Secretary of Defense. Recently Dr. Gates was a member of the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan group co-chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker, and Lee Hamilton, a former chair of the House Committee on International Relations. The group was formed to help make recommen- dations to Bush on how to proceed in Iraq. These include decisions of whether to send additional troops, adjust deployment lengths or—even though highly unlikely—institute a draft. Robert Gates comes to the table with a vast understanding on international relations; he has served under six presidents, of both Republican and Democratic parties, and has years of experience on both the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency. Dr. Gates is currently the 22nd President of Texas A&M University, and will remain so, until he passes his upcoming Senate confirmation hearings. Many analysts speculate that Dr. Gates will bring a fresh perspective to the Bush National Security Council. After three years of combat, the Iraq war has cost the lives of a number of American troops, including family and friends of CSUSM students as well as members of the North County community. As the new Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates will be in charge of making decisions for the United States in Iraq, and try to prevent any further losses.

Many professors are excited for the new upper and lower division classes and what they will offer to students. This will increase the breadth of many of the language majors and minors and increase the level of understanding of the languages and the cultures behind them. In these courses, teachers get to watch students grow and develop specific language skills, perhaps utilizing their skills later on to travel the world. Through the Study Abroad Program on campus too, CSUSM students have the opportunity to enter language programs and travel to places like Japan and live there while continuing their study in school, furthering their grasp of the foreign language. For those students who are not interested in pursuing a degree or minoring in one of the offered languages, it is still beneficial to all students to be aware that many of the lower-level language classes can be used to fulfill the language requirement that is necessary to graduate. Students must complete a course or a test for the course in a language other than English to graduate. Every language major and minor has different professors. Each is also split up by last name so that someone with the last name beginning with 'A' will not have the same advisor as someone with the last name of 'Z.' Lucy Higuera, the Foreign Language Proficiency Assessor, is available to students who need more information about wanting to test out of the language requirement. More information on this and the language course completions can be found at http://lynx.csusm. edu/llc/graduationrequirement. asp. Additionally, students do not have to major or minor in a language to take the advanced classes, as so any student wishing to enjoy a language course is free to do so; of course there maybe pre-requisite classes needed.

To help simplify the festivities, three Thanksgiving themed websites have been chosen with information to help Cougars make the holiday more fun and less of a hassle. The content of the three websites should provide enough information and entertainment to get CSUSM Students through their Thanksgiving breaks relatively headache free. Celebrate-thanksgiving.com is one of the "Celebrate Sites." "Celebrate Sites" is a family of websites owned and operated by Better Homes and Gardens. The site features six categories that include; recipes, turkey, entertaining, menus, pictures, and decorating. The best information this website offers is a complete user's guide on how to creatively throw a magnificent Thanksgiving party. From punch recipes to table top decorating ideas the website leaves no detail, no matter how small, unmentioned. Furthermore, the website includes a list of common Thanksgiving oriented questions with clear and concise answers, from how to deal with bickering siblings to when to order a fresh turkey. This website is definitely beneficial to the avid Thanksgiving host. Holidays.net/thanksgiving/ is one of the many sub-pages of the holidays.net web- site which gives individual pages to each of the major American holidays. The website features 13 categories such as The Story of Thanksgiving, The Thanksgiving Turkey, Thanksgiving Blog, Thanksgiving Crafts, Holiday Home Decorations, Thanksgiving Greeting Cards, and Holiday Music. This website helps get Cougars into the Turkey Day spirit by providing amusing Thanksgiving entertainment such as songs and computer screensavers. While most of the content would be best suited for children, there are also some features of the website that are useful to and fun for people of all ages. There are also printable images and free email cards to send to help spread holiday cheer. The final website is for those that want to know more about where Thanksgiving traditions came from. History.com/ minisites/thanksgiving/ features an in depth history surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday. This website provides accurate information for Cougars who want to know the real reason for gobbling 10 pounds of food in one day. The website includes six categories to choose from which are First Thanksgiving, Mayflower Myths, Pilgrim Interviews, Proclamation, a video of the History of Thanksgiving, and the History Channel's Macy's Parade Float. The website even offers the History of Thanksgiving on DVD for sale for those that who'd like to spend the holiday reclining in their favorite chair, stomach stretched to infinity and beyond, learning the history of Thanksgiving on DVD. During the Thanksgiving break visit these three websites to fully experience the Thanksgiving holiday. www.celebrate-thanksgiving.com www.history.com/minisites/thanksgiving/ www.holidays.net/thanksgiving/ tfSMMMttll Dare to Ask, Dare to Explore Dare to Enter The 2007 Student Research Competition We're searching for research papers!

I, one out of many other voices here at Cal State, would like to say that I love University Hour. I love the chances it has given me to meet new people and get involved with clubs around campus. It is my only free hour between class and work that I get where I can rest, be entertained, and/or meet with friends. Being a freshmen, I came here knowing no one and unfamiliar to the campus and what it had to offer. I was delighted to find I am a student attending your University, here at Cal State San Marcos. The reason why I'm sending you this e-mail is because I have heard that there are some disputes regarding maintaining in the future University Hour. Since I have been attending classes at this university from the year 2002,1 am very much aware that the presence of University Hour has been creating a better life on campus, as well as giving a chance to students to observe performance events, while taking advantage of free food opportunities. Furthermore, University Hour has been able to permit and people and groups available at a time where most people weren't in a rush. I find college to be a busy place, full of people hustling about to go on with their own business, and I feel that University hour gives life to the campus and a chance for students settle down for an hour. I think by eliminating Universtiy hour our school would loose a lot of life and connection. Thank you for listening to my concern. Christy Curtis allow students to participate more freely to club events (since I also participate to the Global Connections Org.), as well as encourage more social interaction among students. For these reasons, I hope that you will listen to this e-mail in which I endorse fully the presence of university hour on campus, and I hope that it will continue to be a part of my campus life (as well as of other students). Thank you for your time. Roxana Righetti University Hour provides oppurtunity to students for inclusion in campus community COMMUNITY: it's one of five of the Cal State San Marcos core values. One that LGBTA works to fulfill through our shared commitments to service, teamwork, and partnership. Some people have stated that they don't need University Hour, which is fine. What I find troubling is the assumption that everyone can do without it. It seems as though some of the privileged members of the student body take for granted what it involves to build community. In order to facilitate the benefits of "community," time must be set aside and collaborations nurtured in order to make "teamwork and partnership" successful. Some of us aren't born into positions of privilege. I have seen this privilege lead to a selfcenteredness that contradicts community. Be it the color of our skin, ethnicity, our age, a disability, our gender, or sexual orientation, those without privilege may not know of the resources readily available to support them. LGBTA's role is to educate the student body, especially those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies, about how to find and use these resources. So, LGBTA will take full advantage of the opportunity to work with other student organizations on campus and create new partnerI II ships. I would like to thank ASI for their action on the behalf of student body for University Hour - without it some of us wouldn't know the benefits and advantages of being in a community. Each student I know on campus has a busy schedule and finds it challenging to manage the demands of learning, socializing, networking and planning for the future. Rather than saying "University * I Hour" is a waste of time or that it has interrupted the norm, consider what that one hour does for everyone. How unfortunate that some students simply attend class and leave campus. That single hour provides a new opportunity to most of the student body so they will not b e isolated from the communal experience that defines CSUSM.

He is on pace to break the NFL regular B season touchdown record, and countless other records by the end of his career. What you may not know, however, is that this humble man is capable of a number of other things that he refuses to brag about, so let me do the boasting for him. LaDainian is a magician. He could actually start a play at quarterback, drop back, throw the ball down field, and somehow catch his own pass for a touchdown. He might even be able to snap the ball and kick his own extra point LaDainian is an asset to team chemistry. He has certainly made Phillip Rivers' job a lot easier. He could probably even save Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage, but I am sure he is like the rest of us and doesn't want the world to be inhibited by any more offspring than the two they already created. LaDainian is actually a multi-talented athlete. He is thinking about entering the Tour De France next year. He didn't consider entering while Lance Armstrong was still active, because he didn't want to beat Lance and cause any downslide in Lance's efforts towards curing cancer. LaDainian is a great scavenger. He knows how to find even the smallest holes in an opposing defense and then exploit it. Give him a flash light and a compass and he could find Osama Bin Laden before you could say Tal in Taliban. LaDainian is a conservationist. He knows that the mo^t important part of the game is in the second half, so he saves the majority of his touchdowns for crunch time. You know that hole in the O-zone? Well, he could fix it if he wanted to, but then A1 Gore wouldn't have a job, and L.T. is pretty sure Gore can't fill in for him at running back. LaDainian is also a politician. He knows that if one of his teammates screws up, he shouldn't throw him under the bus because he will likely need him in the future. In 2008, LaDainian would run for president, but he doesn't want the Democrats and Republicans to fight over which party he should belong to. So, rather than creating a further divide between the two parties, he has chosen not to pull a Tiki Barber, and has decided to continue dominating the rest of the NFL. LaDainian is an explorer. Jacques Cousteau had nothing on L.T. He is going places that no other running back has ever gone before. He has discovered a way for humans to build a civilization on Mars, but he also knows that aliens exist, and he doesn't want to start an intergalactic war. LaDainian is a detective in his spare time" as well. He has solved even the toughest defensive schemes in the NFL. He could even rid the United States of all crime, but then thousands of police officers would be out of jobs. LaDainian is a scientist on his off-days. Photo illustration by David Gatley / The Pride He has cooked up plays on how to score by catching, running, and throwing the ball. He» has also perfected cloning on human beings, but the government wont allow him to make it public, for fear that if L.T. cloned himself then the world may implode upon his greatness. The only thing left for him to do is to bring a Super Bowl championship to San Diego, which from my experiences may be the one thing thai no one can accomplish.

Domanic Thomas, the ASI coordinatorforcampus recreation and Sara Gallegos, the ASI coordinator of student activities, and seven CSUSM students will be traveling to New Orleans during the upcoming Spring- Break to assist with the destruction created by Hurricane Katrina, / Hurricane Katrina " formed in late August durin^^flie 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Katrina mainly affected the Gulf Coast states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi; the hurricane also created an estimated damage of $81.2 billion and took the lives of 1,836 people. Controversy started after people became enraged at federal, state, and local governments' reactions to the aftermath of the hurricane. Kanye West responded on a news program with "George Bush does not care about black people." The former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, resigned shortly thereafter, stating it was for "The best interest of the agency and best interest of the president." Over one year has passed, and yet the damage inflicted by the hurricane has not fully been repaired. Gallegos said, "This year we will be taking a group of seven students to New Orleans to work with Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge.

Established in 1988 by the World Health Organization, World AIDS Day serves to acknowledge the devastating impact of AIDS around the world. On December 1st, CSUSM students and members of the community participated in a candlelight vigil where participants walked from Chavez Circle to Library Plaza where they listened to speakers whose own lives have been impacted by AIDS. Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride VOL. XVI NO. 15 ASIST mentors lend a hand to first generation college students BY PAMELA CASTILLO Pride Staff Writer According to the National Center for Education Statistics, "first-generation college students r un the highest risk of dropping out of college." Luckily though, there is group at CSUSM named ASIST comprised of first-generation college students and alumni that aims at changing that statistic. Founders of ASIST formed the group to help first-generation students achieve their aspirations of attending college. Historically, high school students who do not have at least one parent with a higher education are faced with much greater difficulties when trying to make the transition from high school to the university. ASIST is a community service group that began five years ago from a simple conversation between several first generation students discussing their own difficulties with the educational system. ASIST reaches out to local high school students as mentors. It works as a big brother and big sister program that specifically helps high school students make the transition to college. The mentors of this group lend a helping hand to local high school students by making themselves available to answer any questions about college. Simultaneously, they attempt to gain the support of the student's family. The mentors share their own struggles with their college experience as they make the idea of transferring to college a less intimidating one and transform it into the idea that college is an experience of a lifetime.

Program Director Judy Papenhausen, and Registered Nurse JoAnn Daugherty along with nursing advisor Laurie Lindeneau were among many who welcomed the 43 students who make up the Spring 2007 nursing cohort. Less than 50 students have gone before them. By the means of providing care, coordinating care, teaching, and advocating, the nursing program stresses the traditional concepts of nursing, including health, person and environment. Since the program's initial beginning, CSUSM has thus far achieved a goal they will continually strive to accomplish. The program's goal is to recruit a student population which is representative of the ethnic and cul- tural diversity in the local community and to prepare students to serve the nursing needs of our culturally diverse society. During the orientation, Daugherty informed students on clinical lab requirements such as course prerequisites, heather blue scrubs, student drug screens, and nursing identification tags. She also encouraged students to join the CSUSM chapter of the National Student Nurses' Association. All nursing students are required to take an introductory course where their professors will place a strong emphasis on how See NURSING, page 2 �THE (^JPRIDE T V CIr KÌ* ¡T; HIÏM V SN MIÇi v « AT" NAÌ AI NVUl A ÂÔr f D ITORÌAL STAFF EDITOR: ÌN QHIEF DAVID GARTIY ,BUSINESS MANAGER JASON ENCABO LAYOUT EDITOR MARY FOIEY HEWS EDITOR KELLY CORRIGAN FEATURES EDITOR DAVID BAUER ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR SOPHIE BRINK ONLINE EDITOR & DISTRIBUTION MANAGER AMANDA ANDREEN ADVISOR JÓAN ANDERSON ..

Habitat for Humanity states seven reasons why students should participate in the Collegiate Challenge. The seven reasons are: to improve leadership skills, develop and strengthen friendships, see the impact the work is having on communities, learn more about poverty housing issues and how one can help, visit new areas of the country, a ffect a global cause by advocating on behalf of poverty housing issues, and help provide a simple, decent, affordable place to live for people in need. "We will be staying at Camp Hope," said Gallegos, "which is the volunteer camp. There will be other volunteer groups f rom around the country there the same time we will be there so it will be a great opportunity for our students to interact with others that share a common goal. Also we won't j ust be working the whole time; we plan f un activities for the evenings so that the students have a well-rounded trip," she explained. Students who wish to participate in ASI's Alternative Spring Break must fill out an application. The application consists of required basic information, a community service resume, and a two-page essay of intent. The application can be found on the ASI website and must be completed by January 15, 200Z Applications can be emailed to dthomas@csusm.edu or dropped o ff at ASI at Commons 207. A $50 deposit must b e given to ASI by January 29,2007. A remaining balance of $200 must be given to ASI by March 9, 2007.

They asked freshmen students in GE Oral Communication classes about the CSUSM Alumni Association; 50 freshmen completed the survey. Group members Michael Wu, Sandi Fouts, Misty Sharkey, Kristen Boggs and Amanda Perez worked together on the project from the Communications 310 class. Out of 42 students who answered the question of whether they would be interested in a student alumni association, 30 of them marked ' yes; When asked why they would be interested in the association, most replied that they would like to be a part of social activities or campus events. Out of 48 students, 36 of them didn't know what an Alumni Association was, but 31 of them marked 'yes' when asked if staying connected after they graduated was important to them. As an alum, most surveyed believed that reconnecting with former classmates and professors was important, more important than receiving special discounts and services. Interim Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, James Richardson, and the Alumni Association are working together to increase the ties between Alumni and students. "With respect to the students who said he/she did not know what an alumni association is, but who said staying connected to CSUSM after graduation is important, this is consistent with the history of CSUSM which is built on relationships at the degree program level. The challenge is to make the alumni association an additional interface between the campus and alumni after leaving the university. Before that, however, the alumni association will be taking steps to increase its presence on campus and is being encouraged to make visible 'investments' in the lives of the students. For example, last spring the association funded new banners for a number of student organizations. Each spring it participates in Grad Fest. It has for several years awarded scholarships as well." All group members were initially surprised by the results of the survey. Wu said, "I was quite surprised to see the number of responses from the-survey. I thought more students would reply since there were 600 GEO students. But Jim [Richardson] and the rest of my group took this experience as a stepping stone to f urther improve upon the survey and the number of f uture responses. I hope that Jim will be able to take this experience and implement it in the future with greater response." Having transferred to CSUSM from the University of Utah, Fouts said, "To form and maintain a stronger bond between alumni and CSUSM students, the administration needs to find a way to connect the students to this school, through athletic programs or campus clubs and student-faculty relationships i.e. mentoring, etc." Group member Perez said, "What I think the school can do to bridge the gap between alumni and CSUSM students is to offer information to students who are transferring as well as entering freshman, so that way we don't have to go out and find information, because we really don't know what this school has to offer to us. The university hour is a great way to set up a booth and advertise to students as well. If the school is excited on what they have to offer then the students will be too." All group members find that University Hour is an ideal time for clubs and organizations to use in order to make themselves known on campus by making connections with students. When speaking of the students who do not plan on graduating from CSUSM, Perez believes that the Alumni Foundation should ask what the students want. Perez added, "Getting the students involved with what the school has to offer will keep them here because they are connected and feel like they should belong and they want to belong so they stay here building our school from within. The school should get into the habit in asking what the students want, because after all, we come here so why not make it a place where we want to be, this is the idea of what we had in mind in doing this survey to get the students involved in making this an environment where they would like to be, even after they leave." Group member Sharkey transferred to CSUSM from a school in Oklahoma that had an impressive, yet older Alumni Association. Sharkey said, "I don't feel a connection. I don't know if I'll get that here." Richardson added, "The Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, in University Advancement, will be the coordinator for commencement beginning with the 2007 spring graduation. This will allow the Alumni Association to encourage graduating students to consider the benefits, networking particularly, of active participation as alumni. Additionally, there are steps underway to link alumni to recruitment and admissions efforts and to increase the number of alumni who return to campus as mentors, speakers, prospective employers, etc." From MENTORS, page 1 group, explained, "As a future teacher, I believe that obtaining an education is extremely important. However, due to economic instability or lack of support, many students are not able to acquire a proper education. Fortunately, through ASIST I have found a way to help individuals who are lacking such support and who deserve the opportunity to become educated." Research shows that first generation students are more likely to prolong the time between high school and college, or to attend college part time, putting them at a higher risk for not complete ing a degree, or lastly, not attending college at all. The National Center f or Education Statistics conducted research in correlation with the U.S. Department of Education. According to the report, "First-generation students were less likely than other students to attend college within 8 years after high school. Roughly four in 10 (43 percent) first-generation students who entered post-secondary education during this period left without a degree by 2000, while 24 percent had graduated with a bachelor's degree. The opposite pattern was observed for students whose parents were college graduates: a large majority (68 percent) had completed a bachelor's degree, while 20 percent left without a degree." High school students who are the first in their family to attend college are faced with all kinds of questions from how to apply, where to go, what major to choose Photo courtesy of ASIST A SIST advisor Bill De La Fuente stands with mentors on the Chavez stairs during their retreat last spring. and financial aid opportunities. Many times these high school students are already working f ull time, balancing sehool, work, home and a social life. According to the National Center for Education, "Choosing an undergraduate major appeared to pose a greater challenge for first-generation students than for others. One-in-three first-generation students (33 percent) had not identified a major after entering post secondary education, compared with 13 percent of students whose parents had a bachelor or advanced degree." With programs on campus such as ASIST, first-generation college Grand Theft Auto students will now have the ability to gain the support that they need to reach their goals, and to defy the statistics. As is the case with many student organizations, the students of CSUSM aspire to be active in community service. For this group of students, that means making the choice to continue the cycle of education by reaching out to fellow students and returning the valued support that they have received in their college experiences.

The first time I saw The Pride Many times, when I've sugnewspaper was my second semes- gested that someone write an artiter at CSU San Marcos. It was the cle for the paper, they complain first issue of the semester, and that they can't because they "don't my first thought was that I didn't have time," or that "writing is too like it. That afternoon I went to hard." To them, I say that writing the journalism class for the news- for the paper is as hard and takes paper, found out who the editors as much or little time as you want were, asked for an article assign- it to. ment and I've been writing for This semester we have writers The Pride every week since. This that are enrolled in the journalism article will be my last one though; class for the newspaper, attend this is our last issue for the semes- class every week, and write sevter and I graduate in a few weeks. eral articles every week. On the Before I go though, I'd like to give other hand, we have freelance website of the week BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Last month most CSUSM students began creating their schedules for next spring semester. Students mainly chose classes because they fulfill a requirement. Some students chose classes that fit neatly into a condensed schedule. Other students chose classes merely because they are interesting; and yet, other students chose classes because they like certain professors. Behind every CRN lies a professor. CSUSM has numerous great professors, as well as numerous awful professors. writers who are not in the class and have only written a single article during the entire semester. Both groups make valuable contributions to thé paper and both are appreciated and get something out of the experience. Experience writing for the paper is surprisingly effective in getting attention on your résumé from potential employers, and if you'd like, if you invest enough time in the paper you can get class or internship credit. Newspaper writing is also surprisingly easy. The Pride has excellent Editors and Copy Editors who can help with picking a topic, writing the article allows students to add a comment after each rating to create a more in depth review. Currently the website has over 6,200,000 reviews, more than 770,000 rated professors, and over 6,000 schools listed. The website was created in 1999. "Every semester, millions of students use the site to help plan their class schedules, and improve the quality of their educations," says the site's president and founder, John Swapceinski. The website also has a general discussion forum and a list of the t op 20 funniest comments about professors. The current funniest comment is: "You can't cheat in Syposium for Global Studies A Global Studies symposium took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 28th and 29th, to promote campus awareness of the importance of global a ffairs and to get students aware of the Global Studies Program. This was the second symposium that the Global Studies Program has sponsored in two years. Eight students participated in the symposium by giving their views on certain topics dealing with the Global Studies minor. Next semester Dr. Kim Quinney, Dr. Vicki Golich and Dr. Scott Greenwood will be teaching the new class that the symposium was also advertising. Professor Greenwood was kind enough to tell us more about this soon-to-be major and newly updated minor. "The Global Studies minor began Fall of 2005 and was revised in Fall 2006 to include new interdisciplinary core course for the minor and future major: GBST 300! The title of Global Studies 300 is 'Global Economics, Politics, and Society, and will be offered spring 2007." The team-teaching tactic for next semester is to help students learn about the process of globalization from a variety of perspectives. The new class will "analyze globalization as a historical process and explore how it is shaping human cultures, economics, and politics." For the students who are going to minor in Global Studies, this GBST 300 course is required and is also required for the Global studies majors. "The Global Studies major is projected to begin in Fall of steps on campus, you can do it. Some students say that they won't write for The Pride, because they "don't like it"; to them I say that is the best reason to write for the newspaper of all. The Pride newspaper is a student newspaper. If you don't like it, if you think it's bad, you can write an article and make it better. When I read that first issue of The Pride a year ago, I didn't like it either. Hopefully through my work as a writer and as an editor, I've helped to make it a better paper in some way. If not, you can do it for me—write something better than I ever could. That's my advice to you. Ratemyprofessor.com One way to distinguish the great professors from the not as great professors is to visit RateMyProfessors.com. The website allows students to anonymously rate their professors. The ratings are then compiled and are available to all registered users. Students can search be either school name or a professor's name. The website contains six ratings for each professor. The ratings are, number of ratings, average helpfulness, average easiness, average clarity, and overall quality. The website has a sixth rating for hotness as a f un category. The ratings are derived from a one to five scale. The website also BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer and will polish it for you before it gets published to make sure it looks great. Writing for The Pride is also fun. Personally, I don't have any particular love for writing just for writing's sake. But I enjoy writing for the newspaper because it's always an open ended assignment. No matter what the subject, what ever you're interested in can potentially be made into a newspaper article. Whether you want to do investigative journalism and expose corruption of local politicians, or write about a concert you enjoyed, or just write an opinion piece about the excessive number 2008," Dr. Greenwood explained. The first day of the symposium took place in UNIV 443 and four students participated in the Individual Paper Panel. Those students and their topics were: Robert Carrier,"ReligionasaCopingMechanismfor Female Workers in Mexico"; Martin Gala, "United States Foreign Policy and Nuclear Strategy: The Impact of 9/11"; Sandra Gotlaufa, "Why Do Citizens of West European Countries Vote For Extreme Right-Wing Parties?"; and Amanda Hanson with "The United States and Sweden: A comparative Study of Health Care Systems." The Best Paper Award was won by Ms. Sandra Gotlaufa who has a major in Political Science and a minor in Global Studies. The second day was made up of four students discussing the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, the students of which are in currently enrolled in PSCI 364B Arab-Israel Conflict: 1948 to the present. These perspectives were given in ARTS 240 by Rawan Ayyash with the view from Israel, John Brohamer with the Iranian Perspective, Amanda Hanson with the Hezbollah angle, and Jonathan Hunter with the perspective of the Bush Administration. Approximately 60 students and faculty showed up to the Global Studies Symposium. Just like this year, next year's symposium will be to promote i nteresfin Global Studies, its classes, the major and minor, and to let students share their own research with the campus community. For those who would like to attend this event next time, the next symposium will take place in the 2007-2008 school year.

That is why many athletes will only do interviews if they are allowed to promote their sponsors. It's really impressive and heartwarming that a boxer the caliber of Manny Pacquiao was promoting educatioñ across his chest rather than the newest casino or the latest feature film. The sweatshirt was given to Pacquiao as a gift from a CSUSM student, and was seen on television across the world. I personally don't know Pacquiao but the fact that he would rather promote education than some cereal really shows me a lot about what kind of person he is. The accompanying pictures were taken from "TV Patrol" on the Filipino channel. The woman sitting next to him is Diane Castillejo and the interview took place on November 20. During the interview, he was asked questions about his victory over Erik Morales at the Thomas and Mack Center at UNLV. The fight was a battle of two heroes from their respective nations, which resulted in several Filipino and Mexican politicians to attend the match.

Michael Richards and the media's 'comedic' hypocrisy BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Columnist "If you don't like what I have to say, then don't listen to me." That is what comedian Michael Richards, better known as "Kramer." should have said to the African-American hecklers in the now infamous incident. That is what I say to people who berate me about something I've written. Right off the bat, I can guarantee most of you aren't going to like what I am about to say, so go ahead and start your e-mail, but I will simply point to my lead sentence for my sentiments on your criticism. For those of you who may not be aware of this story, Richards shouted racial slurs towards two black men who were heckling him and talking aloud towards one another during a show. When I first heard this story, I knew one thing for sure; every media outlet in the world would be uneducated about the world of stand-up comedy. Luckily for you, I have been around comedians my whole life, since my Uncle is a comedian, which has allowed me a pass into the comedy world. Richards was performing at the Laugh Factory on the Sunset strip in Hollywood. One thing about that club is that it's notorious for hecklers, so when I heard it was at the Factory I wasn't shocked one bit. Most clubs don't tolerate hecklers the way the Factory does. The two men who were heckling were sitting in balcony stage left. In that club you are basically guaranteed to have a heckler in the balcony, because people think they are far enough away from the show to have a personal conversation, even though they are only 15-feet from the stage. Let me remind you, I am not defending Richards at all. As you may know by now, I am very outspoken when it comes to social injustices. On that note, the tape of Richards doesn't even rank on the top 25 list of the most racially insensitive comments I have heard while around comedians, whether on stage or in the green room. The only thing that happened here is that the media chose to r un this story. Someone brought up the point to me that Richards was unlucky to be taped on stage. Well, something you may not realize about clubs like the Factory is that every comedian who steps on that stage is being taped, whether it's by the house or by someone in the audience. Once again, the media chose to r un this story. Go to any club at any time and you will see a similar incident. Another thing that the media did, which is just ludicrous, is that they made this news on Mcyiday, November 20 when it really happened on Friday, November 17. Our society picks and chooses who we want to lambaste and when we want to do i t In the same week that "Kramer" was being cooked for racial slurs, Sacha Baron Cohen had the number one "movie" in the U.S. with "Borat", which is one of the most racially insensitive "films" I have ever seen. If you are going to throw a stone at one person for something stupid, then you need a boulder for the rest of this world. Take Chris Rock for example. I think the guy is a comedic genius, but how is he any different than Richards when he goes to some town in Tennessee and calls audience members a derogatory white name? It is not alright for any comedian of any race to go on stage and call another person of an opposite race a derogatory name. It's also not right for two people of the same race to call one another racially negative names. Now, I must relate this to sports, since this is supposed to be a sports column. Someone brought up the point,. "Well how is this any different from when an athlete gets heckled? They don't react with a racial slur." First off, go stand on a sideline of any major sporting event and you will hear something similar to what Richards said. Secondly, a comedian is the one with a mic, which means that he is the guy who has the right to talk. If you are an audience member at a club, the other people in the audience aren't there to hear you talk. If you are at a game, you are given the right to boo and talk when you buy that ticket. You aren't deemed that right at a club, so let's not forget that the two audience members are also at fault for the incident. For years now, racism has been allowed to hide behind comedy. It will continue to stay that way, because in one week the media will stop telling you to think about "Kramer." It happens all the time. Bill Parcells, the Dallas Cowboys coach, used a derogatory term towards people of Japanese descent, and a week later it was forgotten. Peyton Manning sexually harassed a woman in college. How many of you sports fans remember that story? That's because the media chose not to cover that story in depth. I really don't have one general point. I have a bunch of scattered frustrations with the hypocrisy of the way this world operates. I am frustrated with the racism that is prevalent in this world. I am f rustrated with audiences who lack mutual respect for the person with a mic or pen. I am frustrated with the media telling the public what, when, and who is relevant to throw daggers at.

A fter a long semester of cold nights of studying, and long days of classes, we all deserve the best reward for our hard work, and that reward is Miller High Life. The label itself is awe inspiring: the proud Miller logo with its swooping underline on the top of the label, and proudly and boldly below, golden letters proclaim "HIGH LIFE"—as if the beer is announcing your arrival to a new luxurious life of delicious beer flavor. Under the name is scrawled in an elegant cursive font, "The Champagne of Beers," signifying that it is signed and guaranteed to be the best. Miller High Life is not available at just any establishment. In fact, Miller High Life is not served at many establishments on account of it not being available on draft. But it is readily available at liquor and grocery stores, generally towards the back of the store, bottom shelf of the cooler, down and to the left between the Mickey's and Steel Reserve. It is a bit expensive, with a 40 oz. generally costing between $1.60 to $2.25, compared to other 40 oz. beers and malt liquors such as Country Club and Bud Ice which run between $1.10 and $2.00. But it is well worth the extra fifty cents to live the high life. High Life comes in a variety of sizes, 16 and 24 oz. cans, 12, 22, 32 and 40 oz. bottles. Many enjoy pilsner beers in special pilsner glasses; however, f requent drinkers of Miller High Life all know that "The Champagne of Beers" is best enjoyed from the bottle, preferably of the 32 or 40 oz. variety. To prevent your hands from warming the beer, which generally alters the flavor and aroma of the beer, it is typical to use the bag that is given to you by the liquor store as a single use beer cozy. While High Life is slightly low on alcohol content for a pilsner at 4.7% ABV, it makes up for it in taste. In 2002 at the World Beer Cup, Miller High Life won the gold medal in "Americanstyle Lagers" against 17 other contestants. It has a rich golden color and a frothy head with good retention. It has a distinct lack of smell and goes down smooth, provided it stays cold. If allowed to warm, the 'Champagne of Beers" spouts a bouquet of corn adjunct and yeast smells, becomes increasingly difficult to drink, and sometimes causes inexplicable headaches in some drinkers. It has a uniform and simple mouth-feel and tastes sweet, with slightly spicy hops and strong corn adjuncts. Originally brewed in 1903, Miller High Life has an over 100 year tradition of providing only the finest to distinguished drinkers. In just a few weeks we will get a chance to toast the New Year and say goodbye to the last. Do it in style, and become part of the distinguished tradition, with a 40 of the "champagne of beers." Drink of the week: Searching for the perfect peppermint potable {Peppermint Montini BY BRANDIBLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer A hh... the crisp winter air, aisle after aisle of tree ornaments, and the decadent glow of over-decorated houses. 'Tis the holiday season and a time for joy. One of my greatest joys is found in the sweet and refreshing peppermint flavor that flowers in the frosty, wintry season. But how exactly does one incorporate this tasty temptation into a quick and easy party drink? Soothe your Christmas spirit with the Perfect Peppermint Martini. Rest assured this was n o easy task, finding the perfect holiday martini. Peppermint schnapps was an easy enough choice, but what to use for a foundation? The spicy, party-friendly white rum? The flavorful and potent Tanqueray? Perhaps a more mild gin, like the delicate and sophisticated Bombay Sapphire, or the always faithful and flavorless-in-a-wonderful-way vodka? Well it was no easy task (no, seriously, four martinis is no easy task), but we tested and tried each to find r our favorite. White rum seemed a valid enough choice. It's rather beach-appropriate and, given the San Diego climate, might have made a nice "Christmas in SoCal" cocktail. Be glad we tested this one for you, and save your rum for summer fun. It was by far the only combination which left us asking, "What peppermint?" Next we tried the gins. Being a martini lover myself, I have a fondness and bias towards Tanqueray. But our cocktail was overpowered by the flavor and tang of this gin which battered the peppermint into a bitter aftertaste. Our next choice was Bombay Sapphire, a gin so delicious and delicate it could confidently sit in a glass by itself. This combination won my favor and a listing in the recipe below. The peppermint schnapps was neither overpowered nor overpowering; instead, the herbal infusion which makes this gin so special complimented the icy mint flavor of the schnapps and the whole drink went down smoothly. The vodka, an obvious choice, won favor with my husband but was not the favorite. Here i Obtaining your PhD? our icy cocktail was—I hesitate to say it—too peppermint-y, offering nothing to compliment the schnapps. Now I realize that you might be asking why we didn't get our hands on some crème de menthe. Simple: this is not a liqueur I stock in my cupboard at home because every drink it's paired with has a minimum of three ingredients. If you've ever played hostess, and 'tis the season, you know what a pain these elaborate concoctions can be on your time, wallet, and kitchen. With that in mind, I aimed to create a simple, affordable cocktail that was easy to replicate and, frankly, didn't use anything as sissy as crème de menthe. To make your own Perfect Peppermint Martini, pour 1.5 ounce peppermint schnapps over ice in a martini shaker. Next, pour 1.5 ounce Bombay Sapphire gin into shaker. Shake, pour into a martini glass, and serve. But 1ng your m artinis at your next holiday soiree? Garnish your cocktail with peppermint mints or candy canes. It's not just festive, but f un too.

Records It's too bad the volume knob in my car doesn't go any higher. "Louder Now" could not be any more appropriately titled. This release from TBS is the perfect companion for a brutal workout session or some much needed alone time that requires anger management therapy. I suppose "MakeDamnSure" is my favorite track off "Louder Now," as it is the reason why I picked up the album in the first place, but every track on the 11-track disc is absolutely killer. TBS doesn't miss a beat on this release, from the final snap of the snare down to the precise guitar lines and passionate screaming, every second of "Louder Now" is ridiculously perfect and thoroughly energizing. 2 . Regina Spektor ladies, Hut this time Justin is no boy; he's a man, and man does he bring the heat in his provocative, seductive, sexy, • and downright scandalous songs. "Future Sex / Love Sounds" will get your heart beating fast within the first few seconds of the album's title track opener. Followed by "SexyBack" and "Sexy Ladies," have no fear; there is plenty of 'sex' to go around on this love-filled record. 4 . Snow Patrol Eyes Open A & M Records It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core—and run away with it. Show Patrol does no less, and yet, much more than that. From Ireland of all places, Snow Patrol isn't new to the scene. With their invigorating attitude, once again they open their mouths and aptitude for musical catharsis and dare listeners to become vulnerable. "Eyes Open," the latest fulllength to travel across the seas from the Celtic homeland, is as intimate as it is rock. Empowered with the ability to leave listeners speechless and simultaneously bursting at the seams with incredible emotional realizations, "Eyes Open" demands not only your ears, but also your soul, and every ounce of your physical being. Begin to Hope Sire Records Regina you smitten devil, you! For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Regina Spektor, she is purely magical. In my opinion, Regina Spektor's "Begin to Hope" is the best female record of 2006 from any and all genres, hands down. Not only does her story-telling style of writing 5 .

Rascal Flatts Me and My Gang Lyric Street Records There is nothing sadder than the lovesick themes and depressing life experiences that gush from through the plastic wrapper of Rascal Flatts' 2006 release, "Me and My Gang." So sad in fact that I can't help but love every second of it. Call it cruel, call it painful, call it whatever you like, but the fact of the matter is that Rascal Flatts' style appeals to a younger demographic of country fans, and I am one of them. By way of the numerous singles off "Me and My Gang," like "What Hurts the Most," "My Wish," and the title track, their latest album has the potential to be their greatest thus far. In addition to "Me and My Gang," Rascal Flatts also had a number one single, "Life is a Highway," from the animated film "Cars" this past year. When it comes down to it, "Me and My Gang" is all about friendship: the friendship of band mates, the friendship between the band and fans, and the friendship with the rating charts. 7 . The Wreckers Stand Still, Look Pretty Maverick Records Pretty they are indeed. Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp are no ordinary musicians; they are beautiful and incredibly talented country rockers. With the dreamy looks and catchy hooks, there is no denying that The Wreckers would have any problems wrecking the country gals and hardcore femmes that stood in their way this past year on the Billboard charts. As the songs on "Stand Still, Look Pretty" range from cool and collected to brash and twangy, this duo successfully breeds quality songs that celebrate our nation's country roots with a rock 'n roll flare in one polished, f un, and down-to-earth album. 8 . People in Planes As Far A s the Eye Can See Wind-up Records The members of People in Planes may be weird, but they know how to rock like no others. Hailing from the British mother ship, these sizzling rockers can only be taken seriously when one has the opportunity to witness their mind-blowing, indescribable live show. Splashes of paranoia line their lyrics and graphic imagery, mimicking airplanes and travel, setting the stage f or^ pseudo-hallucinogenic rock experience that doesn'tcompare to any ^•¡•••Ri^ other e arthly experience. Attracting comparisons to Muse, Supergrass, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, A1 Kooper and Radiohead, the boys of People in Planes mean business. Strutting their guitar-laden, leather-pantswearing, beer-drinking, grungy-bass-linedancing, abusive-electric-rhythm-looping, and seductive-vocal-attack of the technojazz-swaying-legendary-rock-overdosekind, People in Planes' "As Far as the Eye Can See" is definitely an album you're not going to want to miss out on. y . John Legend Once Again Sony Records John Legend might just be the perfect man. He knows all the right things to say, and just when to say them. His colorful and vibrant style paired with simple rhythms and his seductive voice are all the right ingredients for a successful album. Songs like "Stereo," "Save Room," "Each Day Gets Better," and "Maxine" are emotionally coercive and pleasantly haunting. John Legend has done it again, and I can't stop listening to "Once Again" as the perfect man has once again created the perfect album. 1 0 • Margot and the Nuclear So & So'st The Dust of Retreat Artemis Records With striking prose and sounds that drive to the core of emotion, this Indianapolis band does everything right on "The Dust of Retreat" with their savvy chords and "I know we're good, that's why we do what we do," attitude. With a roster as long as their name, the eight members of Margot and the Nuclear So and So's put forth a deliciously garnered album, lush with imagery .of the wild, childhood nostalgia, vampires, the sea, cats, mice, betrayal, drugs, and passion; much of the imagery serves as metaphors for their lives and encounters no doubt and is potent to say the least. A collection of 12 sturdy tracks, each with its own forlorn tone and a catalog of instruments into the dozens—a few of which include "meows," steel lap, banjoes, synths, guitars and percussion— the Margot's most certainly have enough ammo to make it to the next battle. Photo Illustration by Mary Foley/ The Pride �The Pride sits down withAtreyu's guitarist Atreyu l ive at IICI BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Victory Records November 18 was a night many Atreyu fans will never forget. Atreyu headlined their mini tour with a few other rock bands. UC Irvine was lucky enough to host them on this Saturday night. And I was lucky enough to be able to interview Atreyu's guitarist, Travis Miguel, before the show. The night started off inside the tour bus with Travis, other band members, and family. Irvine is Atreyu's hometown, so it was a big show for family and friends. When I asked Travis what got him started in the band, he chuckled a bit at the-question and told me, "I actually worked with our singer at Hot Topic. He came up to me one day and he was like, 'Yeah, my band needs a guitar player. Do you want to come by and maybe jam a few songs?' As everybody was leaving, we were like, 'Alright, I'll see you next Sunday,' and I said 'Okay, cool.' Next thing you know I'm signing a record contract. And then it all went from there." When I asked Travis if he ever thought he'd be where he was now, he answered, "No, not in a million years. I mean we've all been fans of music and we've all been in bands. It was all just for f un to begin with. Then Victory came knocking on our door, and for us that was a huge d eal When we first recorded a demo and sent it out, we didn't even bother sending it to Victory because that was so far off the radar. We grew up listening to all the Victory bands like Snap Case, Blood Line, and stuff like that. I remember getting a call from Alex saying 'Dude, Victory Records is really interested in us.' And I was like 'are you kidding m e?'" Travis was a lot like most college students here at GSU San Marcos. He was 21 and getting ready to finish school. He was attending California State University Fullerton and had one semester left. That's when his band member informed him of Victory's interest. Travis didn't just drop school and go live the rock star life, however. He admitted that he was "really torn" and "didn't know what to do." Travis told me how he made his decision t o leave school: "Should I attempt to live this far fetched dream or should I do the more responsible thing and finish school? I actually asked my parents what to do. They were like, 'You know this opportunity is not going to present itself probably ever again. So you may as well just go with it. School is always going to be there.'" I asked him if he'd ever want to go back to school. "My mom really wants me to," he answered. "But then again i t has been so long the requirements for graduating have probably changed. But so far I haven't had to worry about that. I'm sure one day I will. We take everything in stride and we know this isn't going to last forever." All the fans always want to know what got their band or favorite band member started in music. So, I asked Travis what got him interested in music. "Honestly I was 11 or 12 and I saw the video 'One* by Metallica, and that was the first time I'd ever seen double bass of music that aggressive. That's what sparked my interest in music. My sisters' boyfriend at the time knew a lot about music and he passed that knowledge onto me. He taught me the bass line to 'Wild Thing.' I couldn't even hold the thing up, the bass itself. I was so small and it was so big. It kept creeping down my lap. Then I picked up the guitar and started taking lessons. Now here I am playing to a couple thousand kids each night. It's pretty damn cool." To sum up the interview before the show started I asked Travis if there was anything he wanted to say to the students of CSUSM. "I don't want to say live each day like it's your last; everybody says that. [But] it's true. Take advantage of the opportunities you have. Don't be afraid to take risks, but weigh your options. Don't just go into anything blindly. Have f un because we only live on this planet once." Not only was the interview very interesting but so was the show. Before Atreyu even started playing the crowd was screaming for music. Lights of all colors flashed randomly onto the crowd. The dimly lit UCI Bren Center soon rumbled with music. Atreyu played songs in what seemed t o'be no particular order but covered all the different albums they have. The main singer got the crowd to sing along, and the drummer, who also sings, got the crowd to sing parts he wouldn't. Atreyu kept the crowd going and kept moving around the stage. There was so such thing as a dull moment at this concert. But sadly, like all things, the concert had to come to an end. And it did with a song I'd never thought I'd hear a band like Atreyu play: "You give love a bad name." The singer started to sing the classic Bon Jovi song and hit each note perfectly. The crowd went wild, Photos by Amanda Rutherford / The Pride though it was hard to believe they cctold get any crazier. There was never a second where some person wasn't running back to the mosh p S because they got passed over the line and needed to go around the seats to get back to the center of the building. The way to the parking lot was f ull of excitement even after the concert, and for the people who attended it was a concert they would never forget. Book review: "Fairest" BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer Gail Carson Levine is the author of the Newberry Honor book "Ella Enchanted," which was made into a movie starring Anne Hathaway in 2004. Levine's latest book for children, "Fairest," is a loose; sequel t o "Ella Enchanted," but it also stands- on its own just fine. "Fairest" is an adaptation of the story "Snow White," toM in L eyjn^s own special style; Although it is well written and engaging, put of all of Levine'^fairy tale adaptations, it's not my absolute favorite. It lacks some o fthe dramatic tension that makes Levinels othesr books the page-turners they are, and the character development isn't always very convincing. In spite of its small shortcomings, "Fairest" stands out as more than just a good book because Levine is doing more than just telling a story. What seems o n. the surface to be a frivolous piece of teeny bopper fiction actually packs some very interesting and positive messages. "Fairest" is set in the same world as "Ella Enchanted," but takes place in the neighboring kingdom of Ayortha, where singing and music are the most important parts of the culture. Levine's version of Snow White is a girl named Aza. Aza is not a princess and certainly not beautiful. Like Snow White, she has skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as night, but freakishly so. She is very tall and very wide, but she can also sing more beautifully than anyone else in the kingdom. When Aza is invited to the king's wedding, she meets and befriends Levine's version of the wicked queen, an impossibly beautiful young girl named Ivi. Soon the vain new queen discovers that Aza has a special talent and decides to use it for her own benefit. At first, Aza believes she is doing no harm by helping the queen, but when the king is injured and the queen takes over the throne, Aza finds herself trapped in a dangerous deception that could destroy the whole kingdom. From there the story follows your standard Snow White plot. There's a handsome prince, a magic mirror, and a poisoned apple. If you've seen the Disney movie or read the Brothers Grimm, you'll know how it all goes down. But as I said before, it's the message, not the plot, which makes this book special. One intriguing theme is respect for other cultures. As a wicked queen, Ivi's greatest transgression is not cruelty or murder. It is disrespecting the culture of her subjects. When she first becomes queen she refuses to participate in the singing rituals of her adopted country. When finally she does, it is with disdain. She constantly makes it clear that she thinks her new country is inferior, and Levine makes her attempts to abolish Ayorthan culture, the ultimate cause of her downfall. Levine's strongest message is about the unimportance of physical appearance. I love fairy tales, but I hate the traditional fairy tale heroine - beautiful, passive, silent, and helpless. That's why I love Levine. Aza is a true heroine, but she is also a real young girl. She's horribly aware of what the standards of beauty are in her society. She believes that she is ugly and offensive to everyone around her, but she is really very kind, loyal, brave, and talented—traits that earn her love and respect. When she realizes that the queen's beautiful face hides a self-centered heart, she learns to see herself as her loved-ones do, and her happily-ever-after ending is not becoming beautiful, but gaining selfconfidence and self-respect. Most fairy tales are written t o reinforce the social order of their time, but Levine has taken the genre and turned its purpose around. Her ideas about good and evil are not always what you would expect and she uses love and patriotism in some uncon- Image courtesy of www.harpercollinschildrens.com ventional ways. In short, there's enough there to keep an adult reader j ust as interested as a teenage girl. It would make a good addition t0 a classroom library. Or if you have a thirteen-year-old girl on your g ift list, or are j ust hiding one somewhere in your heart, "Fairest" is a great Christmas present that you can give with a good conscience. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XVII NO. 1 CFA u p i n a rms Faculty Association holds informational picket for a fair contract from CSU chancellor BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer On Monday, in the library plaza, CSUSM professors took part in informational picketing as they made their first public step against CSU Chancellor Charles Reed and his administration. Armed with signs that read, "Stop the Ripoffs!" "Roll Back Student Fee Hikes!" "Teaching: an art, not just a job." "Fair Contract!" professors of all doctrines held a common goal: to have their voice heard and their actions acknowledged by the CSU administration, the legislator and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the sake of education on every level. As the president of the San Marcos chapter for the California Faculty Association, Dr. Janet Powell was among the 50 professors. According to Dr. Powell, professors in the CSU system are 18% behind in salary compared to professors out of state. In trying to keep up with California's cost of living without any recent significant raises in salary proposals, most professors across the CSU system have decided that they are no longer able to comply and instead, they are aiming to go on strike. "For the past 19 months, the CFA has been out of contract negotiations with the Chancellors Office," Dr. Powell said. "They refused to come back to the bargaining table." According to the CFA, in July 2005, the salary increase of CSU executives was 19.4%. The CSU faculty raise was 3.5%. Since 2002, the CSU administration and the board of trustees have raised student fees by 76%. The administration has plans to increase the fees by 10% through 2010. Additionally, there are 1,000 administrators in the CSU who earn over $100,000 each year. Most professors earn less money in a year than what adminSee CFA, page 3 m Faculty/Staff I IÉ)(MH Student Learning -Conditions California Faculty"-MU psoa Association ¿ é é é Photo by Kelly Corrigan CSUSM CFA members participated in an informational picketing sending a message to Chancellor Reed. CSUSM w elcomes n ew fraternity Zeta Beta Tau BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Among the new additions to Cal State San Marcos this spring is the men's fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau. Yesterday, ZBT representatives visited CSUSM in hopes of encouraging young men to become the founding fathers of the CSUSM chapter as they immerse themselves in leadership roles and have some f un along the way. ZBT is the oldest and largest Jewish fraternity and it is significantly the only fraternity: CSUSM has invited to become a part of the school since the initial invitations a decade ago. The fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon and sororities Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta were the first to arrive at CSUSM. For over 50 years, ZBT has been a non-sectarian fraternity. Director of Chapter Affairs Laurence Bolotin says, "ZBT is proud of its history but it is not a religious organization."

I've really enjoyed my past experiences with The Pride and expect nothing less f rom this coming year. The Pride has certainly struggled throughout its existence here at CSUSM, but I believe that given our limited resources (at one point we had j ust six editors and five contributing writers!), The Pride has been successful in its e fforts to produce a paper that is continually progressing in its quality. Here at The Pride we strive to provide the people of this campus with the essential, as well as relevant information regarding this school, while at the same time serving as a voice of the students. Not to forget our e fforts to entertain, whether it's through our "Saved By The Bell" crossword puzzle or our horoscopes f rom Ms. Moondream. All in all we hope to put out a u seful student newspaper, with the ' student' aspect emphasized. Thi$ brings me, to my; plea f ^r the students here at CSUSM to join in our efforts here at The Pride. I would like this paper to continue to do what it does well, but also improve on the areas where it is lacking. For example, I believe the paper has done a great j ob expanding its coverage of our sports program over this past semester, but now I would like for us to cover more activities within the arts department. Changes like this will occur throughout the paper, and I believe we can all benefit from your input. As we hope to put out a paper that's informative, interesting and entertaining to our readers, your thoughts and opinions are really important. By knowing what you, the readers, are looking for in our paper, we can better provide. So how about it? Lend us your thoughts at pride@csusm.edu. Alright well good luck this semester and I hope to hear from you. Jason Encabo For the rest of you, we have a lot to look forward to this semester. Much has changed over the break. The campus has r eorganized itself utilizing the 3rd floor of Craven Hall for student services. Even the Pride relocated (CRA3500) and our new pad is really sweet, please feel f ree to come by to hang out and see what's going on. As for the Pride, Jason Encabo (our newly appointed Managing Editor) and myself are hoping to implement video stories through The Pride Online, we are even planning to showcase student work/films (again if interested: pride@csusm.edu). The Sports section really took off last semester, in large part due to Kyle Trembley's incredible coverage, and we can look forward to Baseball, Softball, Golf and Track and Field coverage this semester. We have integrated comics and crossword puzzles into each issue, which hopefully you have found to be enjoyable.

Your Editor, David Gatley Campus police ready for UPROAR Image courtesy of campus police Campus Police p repare to unveil a c omprehensive r estraining order p rogram. BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer A s campus police strive to accomplish their mission in preserving and protecting the working and academic environment, they have created a new program titled University Police Restraining Order and Response or UPROAR. The additional service is intended for students, s taff and f aculty at CSUSM. In t he past, members of t he CSUSM community have filed r estraining orders against t heir ex-husbands, e x-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends. I n c ertain cases, those who were told to r emain outside of any f orm of communication or physical contact r efused to do so, t hreatening students, s taff or faculty. In c ertain cases, the t hreats have led t o t hreats of physical assaults. W hen followed properly, a r estraining order should not p ermit t he m ale or f emale t o c ommunicate w ith t hose w hom they d esire t o t hrough cell p hone, email or any i n-person c ontact. T he order should i mmediately h alt any f orms of verbal t hreats, h arassment or s talking. With UPROAR, campus police are extending their hand for anyone who has filed a restraining order or anyone who is looking t o file one, to share the order with the campus police where they will review it in discussion then keep the restraining order on file in the utmost confidentiality. I n the event that those who do not abide by the court order arrive on campus, the campus police could apply the knowledge of the physical description f rom the file when needed. Additionally, for all those who are looking to file a restraining order against someone, campus police would be able to assist them in filing the order, and point them toward the proper resources. Officer John Balos said, "As a means to b e proactive and help the community remain safe, we would like to work effectively in f orming relationships with the community to help eliminate possible crimes f rom occurring." �NEWS THE PRIDE From CFA, page 1 istrators in the CSU system have been earning in increases. The starting salary for professors at most campuses is about $46,000 when most increases total about $48,000. At campuses such as Humboldt and Domínguez Hills, Dr. Photo by Kelly Corrigan A Cut-out of Chancellor Reed was used to help bring attention to Monday's Informational Picketing in front of Kellogg Library. From ZBT, page 1 In 1990, ZBT became the nation's only non-pledging organization. Within the first 72 hours of becoming initiated into ZBT, new members immediately hold the same rights as every other member, no matter how long their counterparts have ^^ ^^ ] Powell said, "Classes are being cancelled, professors are leaving, students aren't graduating." She added, "The CSU is dying. It's hard to tell because our university is growing." Many look to the CSU system as one of the best _ leading examples of quality education available to students at an affordable price. For years, it has been. But recently, without an adequate salary given to the CSU faculty to live within California's standards, the future is grim according to Dr. Powell. As a last resort in their endeavors, faculty at all 23 campuses are taking action. Another motto of the CFA is, "Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions." Recently, they've adopted a new one. "I don't want to strike, but I ^ ill." As they circled Library Plaza, the professors chanted, "What do we want? Contracts! When do been involved. The non-pledging aspect of the fraternity was a radical move to make in 1990 as it still is today. The decision to make the fraternity a non-pledging one was done in order to eliminate hazing. The result was immediately successful. Since 1990, ZBT has received high praise and attention from vari- T he we want it? Now!" "What's it all about? Quality Education!" Never in the history of the CSU, have professors gone on strike. "At this point," Dr. Powell said, "We believe we have to stand up Tuesdayf January 23, 2007 ing how much money the CSU system has, how much money is being distributed, along with other related statistics. Once the fact finding process is finished, it becomes legal for professors to go on strike. i The faculty plans to take part in two day rolling strikes that will take place throughout the state of California. Once they go on strike, the faculty predicts that the Chancellor's office will impose a contract. There is a possibility that a professor on strike would have to cancel one of their classes when on strike. If desired, there is also a possibility that the ——— class could convene at a location off campus. Dr. Powell made it clear that for every faculty member participating in the strike, as much as they are determined to send a message to the Chancellor's Office, they are equally sympathetic towards their students in not letting the strikes interfere with their students' regular coursework and studies. Dr. Powell said, "We don't want to hurt our students. Our desire is to minimize the impact on [them]." Of all the f ull time tenure track professors who belong to the local chapter of CFA, 70% support the strike. At the end of February, the CFA will vote whether or not they will go on strike, although it is most likely that they will. The strike would take place in the front of the school, on Twin Oaks Boulevard, at the end of March or April. "Nobody wants this to happen, Dr. Powell said, but we don't have any choice. We're in a bad place. This spring will be a tough semester." An informational strike meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 6 at 11:45 in the Clarke Field House.

Some students go semesters or even years not knowing what t o do and struggling to figure it all out. Well, no more will students see the FASFA as a challenging process. FASFA becomes available during December of each year. This is when students can begin their process of filing for financial aid. The Cal State University system priority filing date is March 2nd of each year. This means the CSU system encourages all applicants to have sub- mitted their financial aid information before or close to that time; though that isn't necessarily the deadline, as CSUSM will still accept applications for the FASFA after the deadline. However, filing late makes the process of getting financial aid more drawn out. According to the CSUSM website (www.csusm. edu), "If you meet the March 2nd priority filing date, you improve the chances of receiving aid from all the programs for which you are eligible." Once a student applies for financial aid, CSUSM's Financial Aid & Scholarship Office will collaborate with the student and keep them updated on any papers or information they may need to complete the process. For example, "required documents may Website of the Week: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer These days it seems that there are innumerable ways to get plugged into a cause, get connected, and stay involved in the community. Yet, the avenues of how to select which organization or which cause to donate your time to f rom the hundreds if not thousands of equally worthy causes can be daunting to say the least. As college students, the need to be connected and the drive to feel like each individual makes a difference in the world is j ust as important as each of the other many extracurricular activities students have at their disposal.

The new and improved office is on the third floor of Craven along with other helpful offices like Admissions & Recruitment, Cashiers, Enrollment Management Services, Financial Aid & Scholarship, Registration & Records, and Student Life & Leadership in the new Cougar Central. CSUSM's Financial Aid & Scholarship Office will help students through the entire process of applying for the FAFSA and financial aid so students can be _' nified lives."

I did a lot of partying, a little bit of writing and working, a lot of lying around, and a ton of thinking about my future. The biggest occurrence, however, was when I chopped off my beautiful locks of ham A lot of things happened over break that I was dying to comment on. I felt like the world was taunting me with all of the happenings over the past 5 weeks. Of course, there are other outlets that my name appears in, but no place gives me more freedom than this newspaper, which I am going to dearly miss in five months when I graduate. What made me happiest to see over break was Tony Gwynn being elected into the Hall of Fame. I grew up watching him play baseball, and have been lucky enough to meet him while on assignment. It's great seeing good guys get some recognition every once in a while. Along that same subject, I was very glad to see that "The Hulk", Mark McGwire, did not get in. What I was least shocked to see over break was the Chargers collapse in the playoffs. I predicted this exact occurrence in my article last semester about LaDainian Tomlinson. Speaking of that article, I was most shocked over break to see that someone in the media essentially stole my column idea a month after I wrote it. I take it as a compliment that people outside of this campus read this paper. I was most disgusted to be a United States American when I constantly saw the Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump "feud" in the headlines. I think I may be the only person left in this country who doesn't want to see a hippo and a hyena fight. I was most proud to be a United States American when I saw that our President's approval rating is at an all new low, because people in this country are finally seeing that things are pretty messed up around here. I was most proud of a fellow entertainer when Damon Wayans challenged the authority of the "Laugh Factory" in Hollywood. A fter the Michael Richards incident, the "Factory" banned the use of Juniors • Seniors • G r ad u a te S t u d e n t s A spiring to obtain doctorate the word that "Kramer" was lambasted for using. Some clubs, like the "Tempe Improv" have eve gone as far as to ban all cuss words. Wayans incurred a fine from the club and a several month ban. As much as I don't like derogatory names, I despise censorship that much more. Hopefully that last sentence made the final cut. In December, I was most sad when I heard the news that James Brown died. I was most scared just a few days later to see his face on a billboard saying that he is scheduled to perform "live" in San Diego in late January. I felt most victorious when I heard the news that University Hour is going to be decreased to only two days a week starting in fall 2007. Although I won't be here to see the spoils of my laborious opposition to the ridiculous concept of "nap time" for college students, I still feel a sense of accomplishment. I was most relieved when grades came out for last semester and I earned three A's, two B's and one C in my 19-unit semester from hell. This semester should be a lot more enjoyable since I am only taking 16 units and graduating in May. As usual, you can send me an e-mail to sando026@csusm.edu. As I have previously mentioned once or twice, this is my last semester of college and my last semester with the paper, so lets make sure it is just as controversial as all the other ones.

Set in the early 1960s, "Dreamgirls" opens with a dream shared by three young singers who call themselves the Dreamettes - Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) - and a host of other aspiring musical artists competing for grand prize at a New York talent competition. (&(£ TUesday, January 23, 2007 D ream Girl All other acts pale in comparison, however, to the Dreamettes, a fact not lost on silver-tongued car salesman Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx) who has high-reaching aspirations of his own. Taylor soon persuades the trio to sing backup for the James Brown-esque James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy), and the group embarks for the bigtime on a highway to fame - and heartbreak. Originally a Tony-award winning Broadway musical, "Dreamgirls" was adapted to the big screen with panache by director Bill Condon and an amazing cast. Beyonce Knowles stretches her golden voice and burgeoning acting muscles in the role of sweet, fresh-faced Deena Jones, coming of age in a cutthroat industry; Eddie Murphy delights as larger-than-life James "Thunder" Early, a smooth-talking singer oozing with soul and weakness for a pretty face; but the sumptuous costumes for the film. sensational songstress who stole Fans of fashion history will ooh the show, and the heart, of many and ahh over her decadent crean audience member is Jennifer ations which span the various Hudson.

Danny Archer Amidst the height of civil war and rebel uprising, "Blood Diamond" takes place in Sierra Leone, Africa during the late 1990s. "Blood Diamond" leads audiences through a chaotic and powerful story of two African men both searching for their own interpretation of liberation. Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a diamond smuggler searching for a way out of Africa, and Solomon Vandy (Dihmon Hounsou), a fisherman who loses everything as the country's lust for diamonds swells, both captivate and overwhelm the screen alike, and both look to the value of the diamond to save them. Playing the romantic object of Danny Archer, Jennifer Connelly portrays the know-it-all American journalist, Maddy Bowen, searching for the underground and undiscovered story of conflict diamonds. Though her portrayal is somewhat contrived, she aptly depicts a believable and compassionate journalist, and her presence is necessary to complete DiCaprio's portrayal of a rugged, African, and believable man's man. Without her, DiCaprio's performance wouldn't have been as sharp, and without DiCaprio, my experience of the film and its message would have been absolutely flat. The meat of the plot begins when Solomon Vandy's family is torn from him as "RUF" rebels (whom are mostly child soldiers) raid his village. In line to be disfigured by a machete, Vandy is spared by the commander of RUF and sent to work in the diamond Obtaining your P hD?

Enslaved to a muddy river sifting through sediments for diamonds, he stumbles upon a giant pink diamond. Realizing that hiding and burying the rock is the only he will be able to live and secure his family's survival, he hides the rock just as the diamond mine camp is bombed. Captured by the opposing military, he finds himself in prison, where Danny Archer is as well, after having been caught smuggling diamonds across the Sierra Leone border into Namibia. It is in the prison then that Vandy's secret is revealed as the commander too arrives at the prison, and knows that Vandy had found a pink stone. Overhearing this, Archer ensures Vandy's release and o ffers his help to find Vandy's family in hopes of being led to the pink diamond. As war erupts and destroys the city, the two are forced to band together if they are to survive. The issues director Edward Zwick and screenplay writer Charles Leavitt address and impose upon viewers are about the harsh realities of conflict diamonds and how much people in A frica s uffer f rom the retrieval of diamonds for export. Equally as important, the movie o ffers insight into the unfathomable life of a child soldier, and the life they create under the worst of conditions. The torrents of brutal killing, display of unimaginable survival tactics, and the actuality of the diamond business as well as the civil war in A frica were almost too much to take for the 2 hours and 23 minutes that contains the experience of "Blood Diamond." With no inhibitions about showing it like it is along with an unbelievable and flawless performance by DiCaprio—who definitely makes it clear that he's grown up since his "Titanic" days— "Blood Diamond" is a must see. �Tuesday, January 23, 2007 THE PRIDE Book Reviewi BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer Movie Review Toöriteö m à M&^ffire: ^ ^ m W f N t a n t magica! best Several other fashion throöghoiii: stili � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On Monday, January 22, members of the San Marcos chapter of the California Faculty Association took part in informational picketing to educate the campus on the lack of negotiations and adequate pay raises that the CSU Board of Trustees and the Chancellor's office Photo courtesy of Campus Police Photo by Kelly Corrigan/The Pride Dr. Janet McDaniel, Professor of Education during last Monday's informational picketing. Just last year, CSUSM was hailed the Grand Champion of Recycling i n-the Recyclemania competition that has become even more popular among colleges and universities across the nation. And now, from January 28 to April 7, we are taking part in the competition once again. But this year, there's new have forced upon the faculty of the CSU system. In their effort to educate the students and the community, CSUSM professors held signs and chanted in favor of a fair Contract. Two days later, the CSU Board of Trustees gave a 4% pay raise to all CSU presidents and several top administrators, the result of what had been in the workings since July. In spite of Monday's informational picketing and November's rally when 1,000 professors and 500 students chanted in front of the Chancellor's office in Long Beach, the executives received a pay raise from the CSU Board of Trustees which would put some of them up to earning $377,000 annually. In all their efforts for gaining a fair contract and a halt in student tuition raises, this recent pay raise adds another wrinkle to the complexity of what has become a salient issue of misplaced priorities. Janet Powell, CFA President of the San Marcos chapter, said, "The CFA was not surprised by recent events of the CSU Board of Trustee's decision to raise top administrator's salaries or the Governor's Budget which will likely raise student tuition by another 10%. It is because of this' type of disregard for faculty and See RECYCLEMANIA, page 3 See CFA, page 2 BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer See CCC, page 3 CSU board of trustees g ives pay raise to top executives; profesors look to strike as only option BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Cross cultural center moves; welcomes all students The Cross Cultural Center, formerly known as the Multicultural Center, has moved from Craven IJall 4110 to Craven Hall 3400, just down the hall from the new Cougar Central.

The Cross Cultural Center, or C3, is not only a wonderful place to hang out, but it also provides programs that strive to affirm the diversity of the campus community. The C3 has a couple of events planned for February, and more in the works for the upcoming months.

We are concerned about the future of the CSU, our salary negotiation [is] one symptom of a much larger issue." Dr. Powell added,. "We are not against raises for anyone; all employees of the CSU are underpaid. We are just discouraged that the Board of Trustees have chosen to favor top administrators by giving significant raises to them while at the same time walking away from the faculty bargaining table." CFA Secretary, Professor Lance Newman took part in Monday's informational picketing as well. Professor Newman said, "I'm angry about the misplaced priorities of the administration, but I am hopeful that determined activism, like the possible twoday strikes, will show the depth of faculty unity and seriousness and will help convince the administration to think again." On February 6, the CFA will hold an informational meeting for all faculty in order to make the decision to strike as they take all the variables of the strike into consideration. The CFA has made it clear that the last thing they want to do is to disrupt students' studies and academic performance although it is possible that classes could be cancelled on the two day rolling strikes. Dr. Powell said, "At this point, the CFA believes that the Chancellor's Office and the Board of J Tfúste&'s* are Very4 rriuéh out óf touch with the needs of those who are at the heart of the CSU, the students, staff, and faculty. They did not get the message at our protest in November and they seem to not be getting it by our picketing now. Striking seems to us to be the only option." Professor Newman and Dr. Powell agreed that students can do their university a favor and let their voice be heard by writing letters and speaking out against the mismanagement of faculty, students and staff. Professor Newman said, "What we need most right now is a unified message from all parts of the university community—students, faculty, and staff—that says, 'It's time to rebuild our school. The CSU is the future of California, but for too many years, we've seen rising fees, stagnating salaries, and shrinking budgets.'" Dr. Powell believes that students should be involved when it comes to issues that affect them and those around them such as siblings and children. "Letter writing to the Chancellor's Office, the CSU Board of Trustee's, legislators, and the Governor are efforts all students should participate in on a regular basis. I hope that students will do whatever they think is best for themselves and future students and encourage them to research these issues and come to their own conclusions." Dr. Powell adddd, "The CSU has long been considered the 'people's university'. The promise of an accessible education is disappearing as more students will not be able to attend college due to high tuition and the university will i ot W able to recruit or retain quality professors, staff, and administrators."

Those who earn the PreDoctoral scholarship earn a free summer internship at the institution of their choice. According to Lisa Bandong, the Campus Program Coordinator, "The California Pre-Doctoral Scholarship and Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program are two scholarship programs from the Office of the Chancellor of the California State University. Both programs require CSU faculty sponsorship, and that is why our campus administers them through the Faculty Center. The funds from both of these programs come from the California State Lottery." Bandong is the go-to person when students begin the process of recieving a scholarship. She will meet with the students oneon-one to discuss their "goals, the application and selection process, and most importantly, the faculty sponsorship." The two scholarships have different requirements but both need a faulty sponsor. It's a good thing to have a relationship with the sponsor for the faculty who know the student can better support students and help students with t heij goals. Bandong's advice is for "students working consciously on building relationships with their profes- sors in all of their courses. Students should learn as much as they can about their professors' experiences and talk with their professors about their goals and plans." "The Pre-Doc is designed to increase the diversity of the pool of potential university faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of individuals who are CSU juniors, seniors or graduate students that are economically and educationally disadvantaged" said Bandong. "The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program seeks to provide loans to doctoral students who are interested in applying and competing for CSU instructional faculty positions after completion of the doctoral degree." The Chancellor's Doctoral has a forgivable loan for students who return to teach at a CSU campus, and once they begin teaching, 20% of the loan is forgiven with every year of service. Though the scholarship does not guarantee employment to any of the CSU's, it definitely helps decrease money owed if students decide to work in the CSU system.

The Campœ Policetìps line ext is 8 477, : ' : Bartleby.com is a literature haven that combines a hybrid selection of classic and modern literature ready for reference. The website offers—for free—a huge resource of everything from English usage guides to quick reference of famous quotations, encyclopedias, dictionaries, a thesaurus, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction literature. For students this means easy access to a lot of information. Some of the information offered is otherwise expensive and/or hard to find. Bartleby comes in handy for little things like figuring out: "who was it that said that one famous quote, anyway?" As Gertrude Stein says, "Writing and reading is to me synonymous with existing," and this is just one example of the thousands of famous quotes that can be easily found on Bartleby. With the 2,500 word writing requirement per course at CSUSM, sooner than later most CSUSM students can and should utilize these references. With Bartleby students can quickly have access to key pointers in the correct usage for the sometimes confusing words like "affect" and "effect," or "accept" and "except." Additionally, the expansive encyclopedias can be extremely helpful. The website also contains full texts of anthologies and volumes of classic literature, including Charles Dickens, Aesops Fables, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and offers access to the poetry of Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, John Keats, William Shakespeare, and Oscar Wilde, to name a few. The verse, fiction and non-fiction collections offered by the website are unique indeed. If one happens to be "falling, upon the thorns of life," in the name of Shelley, searching for Poe or Dickinson, or just need some guidance with "Beowulf," Bartleby has the easy button readily available for students and professors alike. In 1993, Bartelby.com offered their viewers the -first publication of its kind, an electronic version of Walt Whitman's, "Leaves of Grass." The New York based website boasts 370,000 web pages, 10,000 poems, and an elaborate collection of quotations at over 86,000, which is the largest collection available to date. Also offered are the latest versions of the "Columbia Encyclo- pedia" and "The American Heritage Dictionary." According to the website, Steven H. van Leeuwen, the President, Chairman and Founder of Bartleby started it as a research experiment concerning electronic publishing, but the experiment quickly developed into the vast accessible resource that it is today. When a viewer feels that he or she is ready to purchase a favorite selection for one's private collection, Bartleby also offers books for sale in connection with Amazon.com. Bartleby and Amazon forge the common goal to accelerate the wide availability of literature.

In the near future you will not be able to access most of the websites you visit daily, unless these websites pay a premium to Internet Service providers, such as AT&T, Time-Warner and Comcast. Your high speed internet will not apply to any site you go to, but only those chosen by your Cable Company or Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is not a warning, this is already happening, and the Internet needs our help. If you are not yet familiar with the term "Net-Neutrality" this is nothing new; bloggers, active citizens, websites, and activists have been trying to bring attention to the topic for years. According to www.savetheinternet.com "When we log onto the Internet, we take lots of things for granted. We assume that we'll be able to access whatever website we want, whenever we want to go there. We assume that we can use any feature we like; watching videos online, listening to podcasts, searching for information, emailing, and instant messaging, anytime we choose. We also assume that we can attach devices like wireless routers, game controllers, or extra hard drives to make our online experience better. What makes all these assumptions possible is ,TNetwork Neutrality," the guiding principle that ensures the Internet remains free and unrestricted. Net Neutrality prevents the companies that control the wires bringing you the Internet from discriminating against content based on its ownership or source. But that could all change. The biggest cable and telephone com- panies would like to charge money for smooth access to Web sites, speed to run applications, and permission to plug in external devices. These network conglomerates believe they should be able to charge website operators, application providers, and device manufacturers for the right to use the network. Those who don't make ä deal and pay up will experience discrimination: Their sites won't load as quickly, their applications and devices won't work as well. Without legal protection, consumers could find that a network operator has blocked the website of a competitor, or slowed it down so much that it's unusable. It now falls to the Senate to save the cable companies, including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner, want to free and open Internet.

That may be something of a shock to, hear from a sports writer, especially one who loves football. But hear me out on this one. The game is built up for two weeks. It is talked about in the media for those 14 days as, the greatest game that will ever be played, and more times than not I have admitted to seeing better high school games. ^ The long break in between the conference championship gsmes also gives the media plenty of opportunity to beat the same stories to death. I can't tell you how many times I have heard that Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy are the first black coaches to make it to the Super Bowl. Also, how Dungy gave Smith his first job in the NFL and how they are best friends. I wish I could tell ESPN that I only need to hear these things once. I also know that Peyton Manning has yet to win the big game and that Adam Vinatieri has been the difference in three Super Bowl titles. Also, don't mention the fact that Mike Ditka coached the 1985 Bears, which won the Super Bowl. Oh, arid I do know that Rex Grossman has been sketchy this season. If I hear one iftore thing about Marvin Harrison and Manning being in sync for more touchdowns than any other duo in NFL history I may actually puke. I also know that Harrison is unlike all the other receivers in the league in that fact that he talks with his game and not his mouth, so save that as well. What may annoy me more than all the story lines being thrown at me is that everyone thinks they are an expert on who is going to win. Everyone from the casual fan to the "experts" on Sportscenter have a take on who is going to win. The following are different reasons I have heard for why each team is going to win. The Colts' offense is too good. The Bears' defense is too good. The Colts' defense isn't reliable. The Bears' offense is too inconsistent. All of that is just the build up to the game. The actual game pisses me off more than the build up. The game takes like half a day to play because there are so many media timeouts for the multimillion dollar advertisements to be played on television. By the time the game gets to halftime we have to see an hour concert from some singer who is so washed up their skin is wrinkled. I really don't want to see the symbol, Prince, perform in the middle of a football game. If I really wanted to see Prince perform I would turn the way back machine to the 1980s. Not to mention the announcers. CBS isn't as bad as FOX, but they are still ~ pretty hacky. If I hear another announcer duo trying to be a couple of stand-up comedians I might reach the point of putting the television on mute and recording my own commentary to the games. With all that said, I am still going to watch the game because of the Super Bowl pools and great food at the parties.

Pite^tMmi^ �Super Bowl XLI * Thoughts and predictions about the game W hy t he Chicago Bears will win BY MIKE MILLBURN Pride Staff Writer First, I feel compelled to mention the oh-so-small detail that I absolutely loathe the Bears. As a rabid fan of Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers, I find the fact that they are in the Super Bowl detestable. That being said, however, I believe that they will in fact handle the Colts and win their first Lombardi Trophy since the mid-1980s. The biggest factor for the Bears is the brain of quarterback Rex Grossman. While I don't doubt his arm, it is his decision making that will be the largest area of concern. He has been a proverbial Jekyll and Hyde this season; one week he'll play like Johnny Unitas, the next week he'll look like former Charger vagabond Ryan Leaf. Whether or not he keeps his head in the game will go a long way towards determining a Bears win. The Bears' backs will have a big game against a suspicious Colts run defense. While the Colts' defense has played well during the playoffs, they still give up 173 rushing yards per game. Expect the platoon of Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson to have a monster day. The receivers are not great, but they get the job done. Mushin Muhammad and Bernard Berrian are the main targets, but don't discount backups Rashied Davis and Mark Bradley. They are more than capable of catching the deep ball and burning the Colts' defensive secondary. While the Bears are definitely a run-first team, the pass game is capable of taking over a game. The Bears' offensive line is one of the best in the business, led by center Olin Kreutz and right guard Roberto Garza. The Colts' defensive line has been beaten up all season by teams with dom- W hy t he Indianapolis Colts will win inant O-lines, and it will happen again as the pocket should keep Rex Grossman upright for most of the game. Now to the bread and butter of the Bears: their vaunted defense. The team's front seven is only equaled in ferocity by the San Diego Chargers. While they will be without all-world defensive tackle Tommie Harris, this line is still dangerous, as they have combined for 31 sacks. Don't get me wrong, the Colts' offensive line is a good one (as Peyton Manning has been sacked only 14 times this season), but they have not faced a line this good all season. Manning will have nightmares about these guys in the offseason. The three linebackers could start for any team in the league, and are the heart and soul of the defense. The unquestioned leader is middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, who may be the best linebacker of the last 15 years, though Ray Lewis may argue that statement. A six-time Pro Bowler, Urlacher is joined by fellow Pro Bowler Lance Briggs, who led the team with 113 solo tackles. The strong-side backer, Hunter Hillenmeyer, is a future star in the league. The secondary has speed everywhere, starting with corners Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher. But the most dangerous member of the secondary is rookie Devin Hester. Imagine a younger and faster Dante Hall and you'll get Hester, who can return the ball for a touchdown every time he touches it. Safety Danieal Manning is another rookie who is getting better at just the right time. While the offense does just enough to get by, the defense and special teams are far too good to ignore; they will overwhelm the Colts and win the big game 27-17 with Thomas Jones claiming the MVP. BY PAUL BAIMBRIDGE Pride Staff Writer For the first time in 36-years, the Baltimore...oops, Indianapolis Colts are back in the Super Bowl. It has been a while since their last visit back in Super Bowl V when they were the Baltiihore Colts. If you only watched the regular season you'd think I'm crazy for saying this, but their defense is a big reason why they are going to win the Super Bowl. Their No. 32 ranked run defense during the regular season was one of the worst in NFL history, giving up 173-yards per game and even gave up 375-yards to the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 10. That defense isn't the same defense that is now in the Super Bowl. Of the three playoff games, their defense has given up 32-yards to Larry Johnson, 53 to Jamal Lewis and 93 to the plethora of runners New England trots out. The Colts defense is stingy and they just stopped three of the top eight offenses the AFC has to offer. Now from the Colts' defense to the opponent's defense. New England's defense is known throughout the NFL as being very confusing, showing different looks in order to confuse the quarterback and making it difficult to read the coverage. New England's defense was ranked No. 6 during the season, right behind Chicago, which was ranked No. 5. The Patriots gave up a total of 14.8 ppg, second only to the Ravens, a team the Colts literally kicked to death 15-6, which gave up 12.6 ppg. Chicago's defense shouldn't be too hard, since the Colts figured a way around New England and Baltimore. How about Rex? Rex Grossman has been in the league since 2003 but has been riddled with injuries until this year. David Church Colts 25, Bears 24 MVP; Adam Vinatieri 4-4 FG's Joshua Sandoval Bears 34, Colts 30 MVP; Rex Grossman 24-30 3 T Ds 290 yards p He is an up and coming QB in this league, but his talent is still raw. The Super Bowl is just too big for an inexperienced and inconsistent QB like Grossman to come in and beat a guy like Peyton Manning when it matters most. Manning finally beat the Patriots; every single time the media dubs it the Colts' year the Patriots have been there to give them the boot. It happened in the AFC Championship game in 2003 and in the Divisional round in 2004. If Manning wanted to get to, and win, the Super Bowl he was going to have to go through the Patriots. Manning has beaten the Patriots, is now in the big game and is ready for this moment. There is a resiliency about the Colts this year that I have never seen in previa ous years. Every time the Colts lose in the playoffs they always lose without putting up a fight. We've seen them win big in the playoffs, but wow do they lose horribly; 20-3 to the Patriots in 2004, 24-14 to the Patriots in 2003 and 41-0 to the Jets in 2002. The Colts seem like they actually want it and you can see it in the way they play. When it was 21-6 at the half against the Patriots in the AFC championship the Colts were never out of it. Manning hurt his finger on his throwing hand during the gam£ and almost came out of the game. What did Manning and the Colts do? The defense held, Manning stayed in the game and led them on the eventual winning drive. With emotional leaders like Manning on offense and Bob Sanders on defense, the Colts are primed to win 34-24 with Manning going 20-of34 for 379 yards and 3 TD, while claiming the MVP. ^ ' ^ h ^ f ^ ^ a r ó Esperti Colts 31, Bears 21 MVP: Marvin; Harrison 8 Catphes 138 yards £ f D's m m..,.11 . - -; ^ iF February 4, 200? will brins Will have thirtf straight big game l<r WÊÊÊKKÊÊÊÊÊKÊÊÊJËmm ¡ ¡¡ili i iL g ¡¡ . your party go with m äsä t owatdui?

With a group of mainly freshman, sprinkled with some veteran experience, Coach Dennis Pugh leads the Cougars into their first year of play. lt won't be instant success with this bunch but the near future is bright. Coach Pugh is a San Diego area coaching legend and his track record speaks for itself. As coach at Mission Bay high school, his teams won 18 league titles and 8 CIF championships. When asked about the acquisition of Coach Pugh, Athletic Director Dr. Stephen Nichols said, "We are really, really lucky. Pugh's name carries weight". Nichols even went as far to say that he did "cartwheels" in his office because he immediately recognized the potential for the program to compete. Nichols, who attended Long Beach State and Ohio State, understands the impor- edge that there are some expectations in tance of having major sports such as base- this first year. ball at CSUSM.

San Marcos Blvd, a couple miles from campus. The next home game is Friday February 2 at 2p.m. If you like offense, this team should be very entertaining to watch. When asked if he had any comments to the student body, Coach Pugh said, "Come on out. We're here for the students. They voted for this program and we appreciate that." that. "We're basically two-deep at every position," explains Milo. "The friendly competition for playing time is helping push the players." The squad's excellent pitching staff will be throwing to catchers Tasha Stokes and Lindsey Preovolos. While both are very talented in their own right, Coach Milo expects them to split time throughout the season, due to the physical demands of playing the position. They're also solid at the plate - Stokes has "tremendous" power, according to Milo, and the potential to be an All-American. In fact, both players will likely be in the lineup at the same time, with the one that's not catching playing first base. Sophomore Aly Brown will be in the rotation there as well. At second base, Milo believes she has a good mix of players who are all solid defensively. Freshman Malarie Barnard will definitely see a lot of action there, and Erica Coelho figures to play second when she's not pitching. Filling the key position of shortstop will be Holly Russell and Samantha Valenzuela. Russell, a Mission Hills High grad, is one of the team's most experienced players. She's expected to bat in the middle of the lineup due to her excellent hitting potential and power. Freshman Amanda Sanchez is expected to play third. She has very good reaction time - a crucial trait to playing the hot corner. Melissa Lerno, whose .353 batting average at Palomar was overshadowed by her pitching, will also see time at third when she's not on the mound. Coach Milo expects the outfield to be the strength of the team's defense. "As whole, they're very quick and cover a lot of ground," she says. "All our outfielders could play any position in the outfield." Leading the group is centerfielder Danielle Tucker. Lake Elsinore High's 2006 Female Athlete of the Year, Tucker's commitment this fall to giving 110% effort at all times earned her co-captain status on the Cougar softball team. Her blazing speed serves her well both in the field and at the plate, where the slap-hitter is expected to bat leadoff for the team. Joining Tucker as a co-captain is leftfielder Leilani Madrigal. As the only junior on the team's freshman-heavy roster, Madrigal provides leadership and experience to the group. She also provides a great bat - a .535 average at Los Angeles Valley College. She'll likely hit second and share time in the outfield with Clairemont High grad Lauren Turner. Finally, right field is expected to be anchored by Elizabeth Bush and Joy Leon. Leon was Fallbrook High's Most Valuable. Offensive Player last year, and is moving to the outfield from first base. Bush, also a freshman, will see time in centerfield as well as right. Though the Cougars' inaugural team brings plenty of talent to the table, making the playoffs will be a challenge. CSUSM competes in the very difficult Region II of the NAIA, and will face all the powerhouse schools from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC). According to Coach Milo, the biggest key to succeeding will be for players to step into leadership roles and carry the team through its tightly-packed 50-game schedule. The team will also need support from the Cougar community, and all fans are encouraged to head out to Mission Hills High to catch some great softball action. The squad will lead off its season on Saturday, February 10th in a home double-header against Vanguard University starting at noon. Admission is always free, so come out and support your CSUSM softball team throughout its first season! �Cou Words Courtesy of The Pride Across 1.

I'll tell you what you get, Hop Scotch, you get one heck of a funny movie. It's hard to believe that the screenplay for "Night at the Museum" was written by two men who also gave us "Reno 911!" but Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, along with director Shawn Levy, have turned out a truly great family film - so great, in fact, that I've seen it twice ~ once with friends and once with family. I will add a word of caution for people with very young or very sensitive children: there are a couple of scenes that could get pretty intense, especially for children who are afraid of mummies, dinosaurs, or skeletons. These scenes and some crude humor are what earn the movie its PG rating. In "Night at the Museum," Ben Stiller stars as Larry, a divorced father who has a new get-rich^ quick scheme every month. Worried about disappointing his son yet again, Larry takes a job as the new night guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, and Bill Cobbs play the guards who trick Larry into taking over their jobs. Larry quickly learns that, thanks to a magic Egyptian tablet, all of the museum's exhibits come alive between sunset and sunrise. Larry's job is to keep the exhibits from escaping without destroying the museum or getting himself killed in the process. This is no small task since the museum's exhibitions read like a list of History's Most Wanted, from Neanderthals to Mongols. Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan give him particular trouble as a cowboy and a Roman general who answer the question, "What would happen if Roman expansion ever came up against Manifest Destiny?" Robin Williams rounds out the stars as the wise, if a bit nutty, Teddy Roosevelt, who alternately cajoles and coerces Larry into responsibility and heroism. With such an amazing cast, it's hard to imagine how "Night at the Museum" could have gone wrong. Ben Stiller gives a good performance, and Dick Van Dyke will always be one of my favorite actors. It's well worth sticking around through the credits to see their outtakes. However, Mickey Rooney steals the show as an octogenarian with a short man's complex who likes to pick fights with epithets Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox like "lunch box," "applesauce," and "butterscotch." In addition to the major stars, "Night at the Museum" has a talented supporting cast. Ricky Gervais, from the British "The Office," is brilliant as the museum director. Carla Gugino plays a sweet, strong, and intelligent love interest for Larry, and Brad Garrett voices a comically belligerent Easter Island head. The exceptional acting and exciting story all but hide the film's few "What the heck?" and "Hey wait a minute!" moments. One particularly confusing scene shows a shadowy figure sneaking into a dark room and doesn't seem to have made any sense to anyone I talked to. I was also left with some serious doubts about the credentials of the curators at this fictional museum. Since when does a natural history museum have exhibits about Columbus, Mongols, Aztecs, and the Civil War? Since when does an ostrich belong in an exhibit on African mammals? Also, why do the ancient Romans speak English, while Columbus speaks Italian and Genghis Khan speaks gibberish? Ultimately, however, I think these are all fun questions to debate with friends which add to the movie's humor rather than take away from its appeal.

David Gatley Editor In Chief Girl hit by car suffers minor injuries BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 1 at 3:36 p.m., a 13-year-old girl riding her bike on campus was struck by a car. The driver was attempting to make a left on Palm Canyon drive toward Craven drive. When the driver was waved down by another driver to turn, The Sprinter to arrive in San Marcos in December 2007 the driver let their foot off the brake and collided with the girl on the bike who was halfway through the crosswalk. A t once, students on foot ran to assist the girl who ultimately sustained minor bruising and swelling. University Police caught the scene on video from a camera pod. Perched on top of Craven Hall, Markstein Hall and Kel- logg Library, these camera pods can zoom in and out, and can reach as far as to the Ralph's shopping center across thè street from campus.. Sergeant Jesse Flores of University Police was also present at the scene and made the report. Flores said, "We would like the community to be cognizant of people walking and driving and to the Com- munity Service Officers who direct the traffic." On Mondays through Thursdays, University CSOs work the four-way stop every 15 minutes. On Friday's, they work the intersection every 45 minutes and they are constantly patrolling traffic. With the addition of parking lot F and the highest enrollment in COUGAR BASEBALL CSUSM history, the intersection of Campus View drive and Palm Canyon drive is seeing record traffic levels. Last fall, Education Librarian Toni Olivas was struck by a van as she attempted to walk through a crosswalk. Ironically, a committee holding a discussion on the necessity of the future stoplight was in session at the time of the accident.

The first offense costs drivers $20, and the following offenses will cost $50. Sociology major Nicole Yescas shares the same frustration that most drivers have felt at one time or another, "I have to say 90 percent of the time that I observe problems on the road it is due to someone talking on their cell phone. From people sitting at green lights, to running stop signs, to only going 40mph in the fast lane or pulling out of CSUSM parking lot F, the cell phone unfortunately seems to inhibit people's ability to drive attentively."

"The vehicles don't let the pedestrians go; the pedestri ans don't let the vehicles go, and there's all this traffic." The traffic light would serve both cars and pedestrians. Another project underway is the McMahan House. Funded by a $2.3 million donation from Richard and JoAn McMahan, the McMahan House will serve both the university and the community. It will be built beside the track. The knoll beside the track will remain, but it will have a garden. "We've just had the schematic design approved by the Chancellor's Office," Decker said. The McMahan House will mainly be a place where people can gather, dine and hold events. In all construction activities, the state will only provide the money for instructional space. Parking, housing and recreational activities remain outside of this realm. A baseball and softball diamond are presently just an idea, one that cannot become viable until there is funding behind it. There is also a plan to build a diving arid swimming complex behind the Clarke field house. Until then, Phase II of construction, which includes various other projects over the next ten years, will keep Planning, Design and Construction busy. Decker and Ramirez both agreed that their plans for the next ten years are ambitious. Decker said, "We run like crazy at the end, but there's a real sense of completion and accomplishment and closure." �NEWS THE PRIDE From SPRINTER, page 1 light rail service unlike any in California.

Our vehicles are being tested along the line in Escondido and San Marcos." Once completed, the Sprinter will help to make North County a better place. In the near future, being stuck on Highway 78 traveling to or from school may be a thing of the past. The station at Cal State San Marcos will be located over by the campus police station on La Moree, providing easy access to the campus and a way to escape escalating campus paiking fees. The Sprinter project information line can be reached at 760599-8332. Torabi summarize their research, "That using hands-free cell phone use while driving did not differentiate from using handheld cell phones in accidents or near-accidents implies that reduced physical distraction does not necessarily enhance driving safety." The article also demonstrates that while male college students hold the title for greater likelihood to drink , and drive, female college students hold the title for "frequent cell phone users" while driving.

FinAid is mutually beneficial to high school and college students and their parents. Furthermore, the website has also received several honors by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators among others. FinAid gives students and parents their own step-by-step guide for financing college. First, the website gives students a College Cost Projector that calculates the estimated cost of tuition. Then it gives students an opportunity to find out how much the financial aid institution expects the student to receive from parents. It also allows students to calculate how much financial aid will be needed with the help of the Financial Aid Estimation Calculator. Once a student determines the total amount of financial needed aside from parental contribution, FinAid encourages students to look at several types of loans. The website lists several options on how to receive a student loan, which is a low interest loan only available for students. Another type of loan available is a private loan. It is often based on one's credit score, as a private lender gives them and is separate from the government. Another option suggested is scholarships, which do not have to be repaid, as they are rewarded for a person's academic excellence. With hundreds of thousands of scholarships available each year, FinAid provides information that will help students find the particular scholarshipfieldhe or she is searching for, such as academics, athletics or artistic talents. FinAid aims to find a scholarship that fits each individual student. It also informs students of certain scholarships that one should not go after. FinAid also gives information on financial aid for specific types of groups such as: religion, race, heritage, orientation, and so forth. For example, there is also a unique scholarship list such as Scholarships for Left-Handed Students and Little People of America Scholarship for those 4'10" and under. Besides these unique scholarships, FinAid also provides a list of scholarships for the average students who maintain a 2.0 GPA and are in need offinancialaid. FinAid also encourages students to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which could give a student the opportunity to receive both federal and state aid for school, which are separate from each other. The federal government gives federal aid. A student can qualify for federal aid through the FAFSA, and the student's financial need is allocated according to the information filled out on FAFSA. Additionally, the FAFSA is forwarded to the state departments, which then can distribute state aid to those who qualify. In addition, other scholarships and loans are only available to students who havefileda FAFSA. If visitors have trouble understanding some of the terminology on the website, FinAid has a glossary to help with those words, such as fellowships, which is aid given to graduate students to help pay for their education. Another important term for those who have loans would be maturity date, which is the end date of a loan that must be repaid in full. If the glossary doesn't help answer questions, FinAid has over 100 financial aid administrators in the United States that are available to answer questions. Administrators can answer questions that aren't addressed on the website, and they can also help clarify things that aren't making sense. One of the things the website does very well is help prepare students on applying for scholarships. It guides students into finding a scholarship that fits his or her needs and then helps get the student organized for a particular scholarship by informing the student of upcoming deadlines and eligibility criteria. FinAid also offers students a guide to writing essays, as they may be required for certain scholarships.

Dr. Watts, a History professor and the coordinator for the Film Studies minor at CSUSM, is currently celebrating the rerelease of her latest book, "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood," originally published in October 2005, to be out in paperback on Tuesday, Feb. 6. In addition to these accomplishments, Watts is also the coordinator for the Department of History's first master's degree program, which will be starting up in the fall of 2007. Watts, born and raised in San Diego, holds a bachelors degree from the University of California, San Diego, and obtained her master's and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles. She joined the faculty at CSUSM in January of 1992. Watts has also published two other books in addition to her latest since her stay at CSUSM. When asked about how she likes CSUSM, Watts commented that it is a great university; "I can't think of a better place to be," Watts said in an interview over the telephone. "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood," is coming out in paperback in the beginning of February, which Watts said pleases her, "since February is Black history month, and also the month that people are thinking about the Academy Awards," Watts said. McDaniel was thefirstAfricanAmerican to win an Academy Award in 1939 for her role as Mammy in "Gone with the Wind." The curiosity of her students was what most motivated her to pursue not only her researcH on McDaniel, but all of her books including past books on Mae West and Father Divine, and future books which she is currently researching—one on film censorship up to World War I, and another on the strong cinematic women of the 1930s, said Watts The President's Award is a prestigious award in which a professor is nominated by faculty and then chosen by the president of CSUSM, Karen Haynes. "It is an honor to receive it," Watts said, "especially considering all of the excellent faculty here." Watts also said that she loves working with so many excellent people including the student body, who are "very inspiring.*' The Film Studies minor, which Watts coordinates, is an interdisciplinary program that is shared between departments. Watts considers it rewarding to work in a program that brings together students from so many disciplines. Thus far students at CSUSM have been and continue to be very interested in the Film Studies minor, however there are currently no plans to expand the program. The new History Master's program, another of which Watts coordinates, is generating interest nationwide as it is one of the first programs to incorporate mass media with history. The idea behind the degree is that one can gain experience with using new technological advances that are currently revolutionizing the field of history, while obtaining a traditional Master's education in history. The department is accepting applications for the Fall 2007 semester. Watts is pleased that many people have already applied to the program, which is pioneering the way history is taught, studied and preserved. "Incorporating technology with history makes it a more marketable degree to obtain," Watts says. Watts celebrates her 15th year at CSUSM this semester.

Once he got his breaking ball working, Jake began getting ahead of Cougar hitters andfinishingthem off with the off-speed stuff. After Julio posted scoreless third and fourth innings, he was knocked out in the fifth and relieved by Auggie Richardson. Richardson was promptly greeted with a run-scoring double by Chris Denhart, followed by a sac fly by Danny Gonzales, making the score 11-2. In the bottom half of the inning, the Cougars threatened but were only able to push across two runs courtesy of Adam Ricciardulli and Chuck Baird RBI's. The Hawks would- tack on another run in the seventh arid then be shut down by pitchers Travis Zabel and Lance McCormick in the final two innings. Quality relief work by Hawks pitchers Garrett Russell and Chris Priesendorfer kept the game at 15-4 going into the ninth, but the Cougars wouldn't gp quietly. Freshman lefty Matt Jenkins drilled a three-run homer to right center before the Cougars bowed out, making the final score 15-7. Though the scoreboard didn't favor the Cougars, the fans certainly did. It was standing-roomonly throughout the game, with students and members of the San Marcos * community showing their support for the new CSUSM team.

Woods snatched another victory Sunday Jan. 28 at the Buick Invitational held at Torrey Pines along the beautiful coast of San Diego. It was his third straight win at the Buick and his fifth ' bvCTall at1S^'t)!eg(fs finlsf public course set to host the '08 US Open. More importantly, it was Woods' seventh victory in a row in PGA t our events, a streak topped only by golfing legend Byron Nelson in 1945. That's right: it is the longest streak in 62-years. In today's game the pressures are much more intense. The advent of the information age has sports writers tracking Tiger's every move. Also, the field of golfers in each tournament has increased tremendously in that time. Golf is an international sport, and Tiger has to beat players from New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, and every other country's top ranked performers. The win was tournament victory No. 55 (fifth all-time), and his eighth in San Diego County. He has won at La Costa three times. On Thursday, Tiger found himself five shots back after a course record tying 61 by tour rookie Brandt Snedeker. The twentysix year old, who said it was like playing the Tiger Woods video game, was stalked and eventually caught by the world's No. 1 ranked player. Each event Tiger enters seems to have some early fireworks by a fresh face or seasoned veteran. On Sunday, Woods lurked a few shots back ready to pounce. It doesn't seem to matter the situation, Tiger can overcome just about any lay from any angle. Even landing in the bunker 16 times in thefinaltwo days netted only bne bogeyf%afis due to focus and a bril- ' liant short game. Going up against Tiger Woods on Sunday is like running from a tornado; better duck and cover, because it will go right over you. While the youngsters fell back and the veterans played well, Tiger was busy shooting the lowest score of thefinalround to walk away with $936,000. When the pressure mounts, he seems to get better. While other golfers are happy to get a top ten finish, Woods considers that a loss. Anything other than first is a bad weekend. Golf is not supposed to be played with that mentality. A tour player should plug along through the season, finishing in the money, finding some consistency, and getting a win here and there. The attitude of Tiger Woods is that of a different breed. He goes into every tournament trying to win. It is his incredible mental ability that separates him from the other golfers in his era and elevates Tiger Woods as one of the best players to ever swing the clubs. In April, Woods will attempt to get his fifth green jacket at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. That's enough to start a basketball team. Only Jack Nicklaus with six has more. Nicklaus, with eighteen, is the only man with more major championships than Woods who has twelve. At 31-years-old, Woods is two thirds of the way to Jack Nicklaus. If he can win all four majors this year and the masters next April, Tiger Woods will be gunning to tie a legend here in San Diego at a place he is pretty comfortable - Torrey Pines. It is not a likely scenario, but with Tiger Woods nothing is' impossible. mm What i make informed, h ealth confident c h o i i l 2 77 S.

Whether it's Darfur, Uganda, the exploitation of child soldiers, or the horrendous AIDS epidemic that continues to decimate the whole of the African continent, there doesn't seem to be too much talk or any media eyes on anything besides Africa and the war in Iraq, which doesn't get enough coverage at that. Keeping all of that in mind, however, there is a place, a small place that is being destroyed and uprooted by the American dollar, which no one seems to know about. That place is Jamaica. Jamaica? You might be asking yourself. Yes. Jamaica. Many of us think of Jamaica as home to Bob Marley, the origin of Reggae music, and as a tropical dream vacation destination, and that's about it. There is much more to Jamaica, however, than meets the eye, or should I say, than meets the mainstream media. Here is where "Life and Debt," a film by Stephanie Black comes into play. Utilizing the text from Jamaica Kincaid's "A Small Place," a story about economic strife, life and tourism in Antigua (another Caribbean island and Kincaid's place of origin) as an overlay and contextual frame for her purpose, Black opens the about the bang for their buck and naive on this matter; or perhaps film with tourists, both American shameless entertainment within a it's because I am a middle class and British, arriving in Jamaica beautiful tropical setting.

Major League Baseball is partly to blame since they denied an agreement between the two parties. The reason for concern is because the contract had a stipulation that said the Giants could terminate the contract if Bonds was indicted on steroids charges. What many people don't know is that there were other stipulations in that contract that could have terminated the deal at any point in the season. Clause IB stated: If the defendant.. .1 mean.. .Mr. Bonds shows any side effects from steroids, the contract shall be terminated. Things that fall under this category include the changing of skin color from black to green, exploding of purple pants, and changing the name on the back of his jersey to "The Incredible Hulk." Clause 10J stated: If syringes are found in possession of Mr. Bonds then they better be for the use of heroine and not for the use of horse steroids. Clause 16E stated: If Mr. Bonds' is found grazing in the outfield looking f or horse feed then the contract shall be terminated. Clause 24L stated: If Mr. Bonds violently punches a teammate in the face then it better be because the teammate sat in Mr. Bonds' personal La-Z-Boy in the clubhouse. If the punch because of "roid rage" then the contract shall be terminated. Clause 9W stated: In order to prevent injury, Mr. Bonds is not allowed to do certain things for himself. The following services will be provided for him. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated runner after base hits in order to prevent knee problems. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated driver after home games so that he doesn't have to think about driving. Mr. Bonds will be provided a designated "pharmacist" so that he can claim ignorance if something tainted should happen to appear in his urine. Clause 51Z stated: Mr. Bonds will be subject to a weigh-in every week. The weigh-in pertains just to his head. If the weight of his head is in the neighborhood of 50-pounds it will be assumed that he is on steroids and the contract shall be terminated. Clause 17C stated: If Mr. Bonds hits less than 22 homeruns in the 2007 season his "pharmacist" will be relieved of his duties and Mr. Bonds will have to pay back half of his 2007 salary. Clause 22G stated: During the season, Mr. Bonds is required to make 10 public appearances, which - don't include ones in front of a judge. Clause 34K stated: During the season, Mr. Bonds is required to perform three public service announcements in the fight against drug abuse. Among the drugs Bonds feels most strongly against are Nyquil and Tylenol. The contract shall be terminated if he fails to complete the P.S.A.'s. THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE: If Mr. Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's all-time homerun record in 2007 all the prior clauses will be null and void. This contract was drawn up by the Law o ffices of "Jock Talk with Josh." Mr. Sandoval is available for hire at Sando026@csusm.edu. the IMF, there are giant restrictions that are in place over Jamaica's economy, imports, exports, and production (including labor). It just doesn't seem right. Politics aside, the f ilm d efinitely struck a chord within me, and I strongly urge my peers who haven't seen it, to take an interest in it and speak out on behalf of Jamaica. Overall, the f ilm r eaffirmed some things I already knew—how indifferent people can be as well as insensitive our society is to the needs of other countries, how fortunate we are to live in America regardless of our political leaders, how little about the world I really do know and understand, and how there is so much more out there than we ever see or hear about because of the fact that we do live in America. It also taught me that nothing is as it seems, and that as students of this university, and students of any university for that matter, have the opportunity to do something because of the academic and open environment we have at our disposal. The words of one student can incite the actions of thousands of students. Therefore I dare all of you to speak out. Give Jamaica a voice; end their life in debt.

Letter to the Editor: Net Neutrality This email is in response to the "The Freedom of the Internet" article (Jan 31st). I am very proud that such a serious issue such as Net Neutrality has finally gotten exposure in our school's paper. It blows my mind that people, rather telecom corporations, who had nothing to do with the creation, development, and distribution of the internet feel they can take the reigns of control over the content of OUR world wide web. Not talking about this of brushing it off will only aid the billion dollar fat cats in their maniacal plot to go Farenheit 451 on our only remaining open media outlet.

Midori, the premier bright green melon liqueur, was first launched in the United States in 1978 at Studio 54. Created by Suntory, Midori was the glue to the hit drink called "The Universe," which is comprised of Midori, vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice and pistachio flavored liqueur. Within five years of its release, Midori instantly became a favorite of the masses, being sold in over 20 countries, with sales steadily increasing at 200,000 cases sold per year. So, the next time you're at the bar, or getting your groove on at a club and want to enjoy a palette-tantalizing experience, a Midori Sour is for you.

The film includes big-time actors such as Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta, R popular actors such as Ben Affleck, Ryan Reynolds, and Jeremy Piven, and even leaves room for a rapper, Common, and a singer, Alicia Keys, in their acting debuts. Aside from the impressive cast, the heart of the film revolves around Buddy "Aces" Israel (Piven), a modern day version of what Frank Sinatra might have been if he had half the talent, twice the sleaziness, and a mind constantly fueled by cocaine and the prospect of power. What the two do have in common is their association with the Mafia.

Members of the community, - Library staff and students joined Otto as he walked through his installation, describing his art work and his motivation. In Otto's installation, bird houses painted red and blue hang from branches above leaves strewn on the library floor. A colorful banner of cloth extends from the installation on the third floor to reach the fourth floor of the library. According to Otto, the bird houses in his art work symbolize the human form of a home. "A place you go where you feel safe- to escape the busyness of the world and to cultivate dreams," Otto said. With many recurring images in his work, one piece that stands out from the rest is a character Otto calls, "Rock guy."

In nine states, including California, the FDA has changed restrictions to allow individuals that are 18 and older to obtain the product over the counter, while individuals under 17 can obtain the product with a prescription. CSUSM student, Laura Contreras shares her perspective. "I think the right to choose is a good idea, but it should not be available over the counter. I'm worried that younger women, who might not be informed, may use the morning after pill as a form of contraception without understanding their other options." At the CSUSM Health Center, the cost for the pill is $25.00. Male or female students can purchase the product, with or without counseling, up to two times per month. After the second time in a month, an appointment is required. The main reason for requiring an appointment is because the product is not intended for frequent use, nor does it substitute birth control. Users should know that the product is advertised as up to 89% effective for reducing pregnancy risk, and does not protect from STD's. Nursing Major Naomi Strong said, "I personally believe that the plan B pill is a good backup method to birth control. However, I don't think that the pill should be used as a routine. Women should take the necessary precautions and be responsible when having intercourse but people do make mistakes which also See PLAN B, page 2 �THE(N>RID{ S A t yWVtWnYUN TT New study abroad options available % Deadlines approaching for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa ËDITQRIAI STAFF chance to apply and study for an academic year in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The application date for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa is May 1. A decision on whether the student is qualified to go will be made in late August. A complete application must contain an IP Application, two faculty recommendations and official university transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. According to the CSU International Programs website, "Admission of a student is based on academic, linguistic, and personal qualifications, and on the appropriateness of the students' proposed plan of study to their degree objective." There is no application fee, and those looking to apply are best advised to meet with an IP Campus Coordinator. An academic year of studying abroad is beneficial to students because not only does it take time to culturally assimilate to your new surroundings, but the extensive amount of time also crosses the line of being a visitor into becoming a true resident in the community in which you are studying. Stockey understands the importance of spending an academic year abroad and said, "Year long programs provide an even greater opportunity for a richer cultural experience." IP enrollment fees are kept at an affordable rate because student costs are partially supported by the State of California. The cost of studying abroad is dependent on what country you wish to study and their economic situation. Students pay for their own housing, transportation, meals and any extra costs. Scholarships and financial aid are available. However, what the CSU International Programs website considers to be most important is the expérience you attain by studying abroad and considers studying abroad "A long-term investment in yourself and in your future." Students do receive credit for all coursework that is completed while abroad. All completed coursework is considered CSU resident credit. Academic Reports are prepared by the Office of International Programs, who converts host university information into CSU campus terms. Students must meet with a counselor prior to their departure in order to understand how the work the student completed abroad applies within their scope of requirements. Should students have any further inquiries on studying abroad they can visit the CSUSM website of global affairs at http:// w ww.csusm.edu/UGA/studyabroad.htm, or the official CSU International Programs website at http://www.gateway.calstate. edu/csuienet/index.shtml. range from books on women's issues to calculus and biologiit to vent and be alone.

Studying abroad allows students to engross themselves in an atmosphere that is not only academically stimulating, but also makes for a life-long experience. CSUSM International Programs advisor, Jan Stockey said, "Studying in another country brings a dimension to your education that you cannot imagine." As students separate themselves from what is familiar, students challenge themselves to exist in a foreign place. In meeting new people and encountering new experiences, students acquire a new understanding of not only themselves, but the world around them.

Hoss Vice President Finance and Administrative Services �C ougar s oftball h ome o pener BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer It was standing room only at Mission Hills High School Saturday, Feb. 10. Coach Jennifer Milo had her ladies ready in front of a crowd of roughly 200. Mr. Taco, the Mexican eatery that also catered the baseball opener, fed the hungry crowd as the Cougars stepped foot on their home turf for the first time in the program's history. Coach Milo said of the home fans, "This is fun. It's lots of support." The field at Mission Hills is in great condition and the parking is onsite right next to the Mission Blvd. entrance. Coach Milo put her ace pitcher Melissa Lerno out. in the first game of a double header against Vanguard University, a Christian School in Costa Mesa, CA. It was the right decision, and the sophomore Lerno was toughest when Vanguard had runners on base. After a single and balk in the first allowed a runner to get to third, Lerno induced a groundball to third base and Amanda Sanchez tossed over to first for the third out. Vanguard pushed home a run in the second on a weak grounder that somehow found a way through the right side. Lerno got the next hitter to ground back to Sanchez at third and left the bases loaded. In the third the Cougars dodged a bullet after a leadoff triple by Vanguard's Sarah Howe. Lerno got the next two on strikeouts before getting a lazy fly ball to left field where Leilani Madrigal snared it for the final out of the inning. Lerno definitely had her good stuff on this day stating, "I had lots of movement." The game was a real pitcher's dual as the Cougars had trouble with the high heat of Vanguard pitcher Jennifer Olvera, who struck out 14 on the day. It wasn't until the fifth inning that the Cougars put together a rally for the home fans. Erica Coelho walked with one out. After she hustled to beat the throw to second on a bunt by Lindsey Preovolos, Madigal came up with two outs and two on. She hit a looper towards the Bermuda Tri- angle, the area behind shortstop and between the center and left fielders. Vanguard's shortstop had to have heard the roar of the crowd as the ball tipped just off the edge of her glove. When the dust settled, Coelho scored the tying run and Madigal stood on second with a game tying RBI double. The game remained tied 1-1 as both teams missed opportunities with runners on base. After Lerno got a clutch two out strikeout on a close pitch with runners on first and second, Vanguard Coach Beth Renkoski was kicking up dirt near the visiting dugout. The umpire was inconsistent but Lento said, "He got better as the game went on." The teams played into extra innings where each side gets to start their half inning with a runner on second base. Vanguard was able to get a run in the eighth despite the brilliant play by Lerno and her catcher Preovolos on a squeeze attempt. The Cougars failed to get a run in the bottom of the eighth and lost the game 21. It was a hard fought game and led Coach Milo to say the team is "getting used to each other." She was also happy with the performance of Lerno in the loss saying, "she just got stronger and stronger out there." As for the extra inning "International Rule" where the inning starts with a runner on second base, Coach Milo said, "to me it doesn't show the better team, but we both do get it. Sometimes it falls your way and sometimes it doesn't." Freshman Erica Coelho seemed to like it saying you're guaranteed "no ties." It is reminiscent of college football when each team gets the ball at the 25 yard line in overtime. The Cougar softball program has already beaten then ranked # 10 Concordia, and appears ready to compete in this first season of play. Mission Hills High School is located on Mission Blvd a few miles east of Twin Oaks Valley Road just on the other side of the 78 from CSUSM campus.

The dedication on and off the track, and hours and hours of preparation for each event gets the teams one step closer to their goals. The early meets are stepping-stones towards the next meet and preparation for Nationals. Coach Scott said, "[We are] starting at the Meet of Champions, then [we will move on to] Triton, UCI, Clairemont and Occidental. These are the meets that will point towards Nationals. These meets are to get them at their best, to set new personal records and to prepare them for Nationals." The NAIA National Championships is set for May 24 to 26 in Fresno, CA. This gives the CSUSM track teams three months to prepare and qualify for Nationals. Some of these athletes may be able to qualify for Nationals at the Rossi Invitational. As the team gets deeper into the season, more and more of the CSUSM track athletes will continue to qualify for Nationals. So, be sure to stop by one of the many track meets and support your fellow classmates. Give them that extra adrenaline rush that will help push them over those qualification marks and reach nationals.

Yet the Chargers managed to break the hearts of thousands of fans again in typical San Diego fashion. Than there are the Padres, the other group of historically talented losers. This is a team that has only made five playoff appearances in 39 years. Theirfirstplayoff appearance was in 1984 in which they made the World Series, losing 4-1 to the Detroit Tigers. The Padres did not return to the playoffs again until 1996, where they were swept by the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Division Series. Then, in 1998 they made their second and last World Series appearance, tasting defeat at the hands of the New York Yankees in a series which ended 4-0. In 2005, the Padres made it to the NLDS where they were swept by the St. Louis Cardinals. The team's last playoff appearance was in 2006 in the NLDS, where they lost yet again to the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1. What is it about the Padres and the Chargers that seems to prevent them from winning the big one? I can't really answer that question. Is San Diego a cursed city when it comes to sports? Why not? The Boston Red Sox had the "curse of the Bambino" and the Chicago Cubs have the "Billy Goat curse." If there is a curse, what curse is it that rests over San Diego's professional sports teams? �website of the week: p i t c h f o r k m e d i a . c o m BYJONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer ample amounts of information regarding independent music.

Making the grade: No grade inflation at CSUSM BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Paula Montagna, a graduate student here at Cal State University San Marcos in Literature and Writing, transferred here with a 4.0 GPA. During her undergraduate studies, she received one A-. Her GPA is now a 3.9 without any method of making it higher. "By using a grading criteria in which students may earn an A-, but offering no option to earn an A+," said Montagna, "CSUSM uses a grading system which punishes students for their imperfections, rather than reward students for their achievements." Is an "A+" an ever-elusive grade at this school? How did our current grading system get implemented? What is the philosophy behind it? Founding faculty member Larry W. Cohen, professor emeritus of biology, has some of the answers. About why grades top out at A, he said, "We (the Founding Faculty) wrestled with the question ourselves at the time but decided to stay with the long-established standard of 'A' as the top possible grade rather than opening the possibility of escalating to A+, A++, etc. and undermining the integrity of the A." The plus/ minus system of grading is meant to indicate the subtleties of students' performance. Cohen also sheds light on the possibility of attaining an A+. "Over the years at CSUSM, I did issue A+ grades on occasion. The grade went to one or two people whose performance was way out ahead of even the other 'A' students. I would estimate, after looking over my grade books, that it was with a frequency of about 1-2 per hundred." The grade of A+ shows up on the transcript, but is not calculated into the grade point average as more than just a regular A. Grade inflation was one of the concerns of the Founding Faculty when instituting the grading policy. Cohen said, "Too many faculty are concerned with being popular and for them A+ may become the typical A grade, fulfilling the fears of the Founding Faculty when they considered the question." Grade inflation, according to national statistics, has been a problem among postsecondary institutions since at least the 1980s. It is defined as the increase of the number of high grades over time, and is often associated with lax academic standards. With more and more students achieving higher grades, it is easy to conclude that standards have been slipping; with students reporting that they contribute less effort than those who had preceded them, it is conclusive to attribute the higher grades phenom- enon on the institution and not on students simply becoming smarter. Many measures have been taken by other universities to combat grade inflation. Some universities limit the number of A' grades a professor may give. Jennifer Diffley, an alumnus of Brigham Young University reported, "It was impossible to get anything higher than a D at BYU. The professors made it their personal mission to ensure that no one ever received A's on assignments. It was to avoid a little thing called 'grade inflation.'" While CSUSM does not employ such harsh tactics, grade inflation is still a concern according to Cohen who helped to implement our current grading systeip. CSUSM celebrates Black History Month BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer "I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" - Martin Luther King Jr. February marks the annual celebration of "Black History Month," for Americans nationwide. What began on February 12, 1926 as the first celebration created by Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, a Harvard Scholar, has now become the nationally observed "Black History Month." Traditionally celebrated in the second week of February, Dr. Woodson chose to celebrate African American history in February as a tribute to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, both of whom Woodson felt had a significant impact on African American history, and both of whom celebrated birthdays in the month of February.

The day set aside for lovers to share their feelings for one another. The day dreaded by single people around the world. The day chocolate and flower vendors make a fortune, and the day that cupid makes his presence known, shooting heart-tipped arrows off into oblivion hoping to inflict hopeless romantics and lovebirds with la amour. Many might be wondering how the uber-commercialized holiday came about, while others could care less as long as the chocolates and candy-studded greetings continue to abound. For those, however, who are curious, Valentine's Day as we know it is said to be a combination of an event and a historical person. The event is said to have begun in the pagan times of ancient Rome, with the annual celebration of a fertility festival called the "Feast of Lupercalia," which traditionally occurred in mid-February. The festival was known for pairing the mating of young men and women each year through a sweepstake arrangement. More often than not, it is said that the arranged couple would fall in love and eventually marry. Also linked to the Valentine's Day festival, are the infamous legends of Saint Valentine of Rome. Saint Valentine lived in Rome under the sovereignty of Emperor Claudius II. To retain a valiant army, Emperor Claudius incessantly enlisted soldiers, but to his misfortune was able keep soldiers, because the majority of men did not want to join his army because of their commitment to their wives and families. Upon realizing this, Claudius forbade all engagements and marriages in Rome. Thus, Valentine, an idealistic and romantic priest began to organize secret marriages for young couples. As soon as Claudius unveiled Valentine's treachery, he imprisoned Valentine, and later executed him on Feb. 14, circa 270 A.D. Subsequently, Valentine became the patron saint for lovers during the Middle Ages in France and England. Then in 498 A.D., Pope Gelasius chose to end the celebration of the pagan festival, "Feast of Lercalia," and thus declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day. Exchanging "valentines" and love notes is one of the central elements of Valentine's Day. It is rumored that this practice began with Saint Valentine himself, who while in prison fell in love with a young girl, thought to have been the jailor's daughter. Prior to his execution, it is supposed that he wrote her a love letter, which he signed: "From your Valentine." It is also said that Valentine's Day falls on Febr 14 each year because during the Middle Ages in England and France that date marked the commencement of bird mating season. Furthermore, the oldest accounted for Valentine is said to have been written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Nonetheless, though the rumors and allegation surrounding Saint Valentine seem to flow in abundance, they all have one thing in common; they portray Saint Valentine as a heroic and romantic man, suggesting that Valentine's Day should be a day for love and romance.

As a child, Pennypacker's favorite books were "Treasure Island," "Black Beauty," and "The Yearling." Her decision to write a children's book, however, didn't come until sjie was raising her own children. "I started hanging out in libraries; that's what you do when you have kids." She read the best of children's literature - and the worst. When she realized how much "junk" was floating around in the children's book market, Pennypacker decided to try her hand at writing.

It is understandable, then, how attached she becomes to her characters: "I carry my characters around." Her son especially lent specific character traits to Clementine - his impulsive, distracted temperament, characteristic of Attention Deficit Disorder,-combined with his artistic, empathetic nature, also characteristic of ADD. Pennypacker said that she wanted to show the positive aspects of ADD without belittling the difficulties. As a result, all of the adults in "Clementine" are very supportive of the third-grader. "I wish the world had [told my son], 'What a wonderful artist you are,'" said the author. When speaking of the writing process, Pennypacker refered to "flow." "There-is a feeling of Tightness when you tap in instead of controlling [the process]," she articulated.

Located in Balboa Park near downtown San Diego, the Old Globe is one of the town's first professional theaters, hosting 50 minute versions of Shakespeare back in 1935. The Cassius Carter Centre Stage was renovated out of the original restaurant, the Falstaff Tavern in 1965. This 225 seat arena is incredibly intimate. The stage is in the center, and the actors perform to every angle, giving everyone the feeling of nearness to the action. With the 360 degree seating, only four rows occupy each side, so every seat is a good one. In "The Four of Us," actors Gideon Banner (Benjamin) and Sean Dugan (David) experience friendship while entering the life o £a writer. The play opens by dropping the audience into the middle of a conversation at lunch regarding Benjamin signing his first book deal. David, who has chosen to go into playwriting, has yet to have any recognition of his talent. The sarcastic wit of actoiiSean Dugan and tfte clever dialogue written by Itamar Moses reveal the envy and resentment going on in the mind of David. The play goes through confusing shifts in time, clueing the audience in with the clothing of the cast and their conversation. However, the relationship of the rieedy David and the affable Benjamin is hilarious. They've been friends since a summer camp after high school and have seen each other grow into separate careers in writing. Along the way they share the awkwardness of dating and money-making. The acting in this play was very well done. Sean Dugan, who has appeared in HBO's dynamic cellblock series OZ and episodes of the Law & Order series, did a brilliant job as David. His sniveling jealousy is believable, while Gideon Banner, with strictly theatre experience, plays the success-won't-change-me role with a real air of pride. Yet, with only two actors, the back and forth gets a bit tiresome at spots. There seems to be an inward reflection by playwright Itamar Moses. He pokes fun at the literary field and its ability to create celebrities andpoison friendships. Moses is considered the next big thing in the theater crowd, having much critical acclaim in New York City and nationally. At 29 years old, Moses' future seems very bright. : K ^HJ , : Bring your thinking cap to this very clever comedy surrounded by some cheap laughs at an abundant use of the "F" word. With cigarette-smoking on stage and a male bonding marijuana puffing session, "The Four of Us" is most definitely intended for a mature audience. ^'The Four of Us" is playing February 3-March 11.

ÌMCB $9û:QbcmmmhY I �Movie Review BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer "The Messengers" is the stateside directing debut of Danny and Oxide Pang. Isn't "Oxide" an original name? It is pretty much the most original thing about this film, as the Pang brothers borrow elements of three or four other horror movies and mix it up into 90 minutes of tired horror cliché. Instead of exploring the possibility that children can see things that grownups cannot (as the trailers for this movie implied), the film goes off into a very different direction that fails to make any sense. What kills me the most is how much potential this movie had and how much was wasted in falling back on the already-doneto-death horror tricks. You'll see psychotic crows reminiscent of Hitchcock's "The Birds," contorted crawling-on-the-walls ghosts which gives you "The Grudge" deja vu, and a giant haunted house similar to — I don't know — every horror movie « T V Messengers fails to deliver ever made. The ' story follows the Solomon family who move to North Dakota from Chicago in hopes of making a fortune on cultivating sunflower seeds. The dad, Roy (Dylan McDermott), and mom, Denise (Penelope Ann Miller), are the oblivious parental duo. Roy is a hard-working farmer with an undeniable determination and a body way too hot for a dad. Denise is a typical 1950sstyle housewife whose fortes include bed making and making a killer glass of lemonade. Jess (Kristen Stewart) is their teenage daughter who is deeply affected by something horrible that happened in Chicago. Ben (played by twins Evan and Theodore Turner) is the toddler who, conveniently, cannot talk but sees much. Right before planting time, Roy meets up with a mysterious drifter (John Corbett) whom he hires on the spot after learning his first name. Meanwhile, the house is playing tricks on Jess and Ben who are the only ones harassed by ghosts. The actors, most notably Stewart, whose past credits include "The Panic Room" and "Cold Creek Manor," do an amazing job with what they are given. Stewart is wonderful in this role, giving her character the balance of maturity and innocence. McDermott, of "The Practice," gives a sincere and believable performance as a dad who is trying to hold his family together. Miller never misses a beat as a protective and over concerned mother. The Turner brothers play a wonderfully creepy part, which is a credit to them and the directors. Corbett plays his role so suavely that you almost doubt he is a threat to the Solomon family. The music and sound design were both done nicely. Though the music was a very obvious cue to what is going to happen next, the score was well-written and well utilized. The sound design, in particular, was eerie and scary without going overboard into cliché-land. Possibly the only time I was even a little frightened during this film was due to the excellently crafted sound. The direction and cinematography both were not too unoriginal but seemed to take you too much out of the experience instead of bringing you in. Overall, the plot is the thing that gets in the way of this movie the most. Apart from the fact that moviegoers had to suffer through tired, recycled horror tactics, the movie simply did not make any sense at the end. Small plot holes are easy to ignore, but when they are as big as the sunflower field on screen, they go from ignorable to extremely annoying in less time than it says to say "The Messengers." And, after seeing this entire movie and taking pretty good notes, I still have no idea why it is even called that. If you enjoy pointing out plot holes and mocking movie discrepancies, this film was made for you. Otherwise, "The Messengers" is completely skippable. •«ini J • rt.lt J i f M W^WÊiM' I ffi : -, / ^MESSENGERS Image courtesy of Sony Pictures Beer of the Week ^ i n t e r s Jgourbon £ a s k ¿ Ale Pride Staff Writer Anheuser-Busch brews Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale December through February.

The packaging, containing six 12 ounce bottles, sold the beer. On the packaging stands a snowman wrapped with a scarf, mittens, beanie, and even goggles. In light of the fact that snowmen are the coolest of all men, the snowman smugly holds a frosty mug of frothy beer as snowflakes descend from the beer heavens above. Strong aromas emerged from the bottle as I poured the cold contents into a chilled mug. The aroma from the hops and vanilla bean filled the vicinity as rays of light struggled to filter through the daik ahibfcr bdlxkr ^ ithe Hie. A powerful scent and TtiScioirs color sent surges of glee to my parched mouth. Reluctance gave way to impatience until the mug tilted and the ale began pouring into my mouth. A few sips quickly discovered the courageousflavorof hops and the smooth, retreating taste of vanilla. The bold taste and soft sweetness parallels the experience of Diet Coke. Diet Coke tastes strong at first before the aspartame leaves a semisweet flavor. The ale has many ingredients. Dark roasted caramel malts, all-imported hops, which are aged on toasted bourbon oak casks and whole Madagas- car vanilla beans^ cotopriis^" the^ ale. In the words of my four roommates, the ale "tastes like pumpkin pie," "is sweet first then bitter," "has a vanilla spike and bold taste," and one of my roommates who preferred to swallow the ale wholly through a conventional device designed for mass consumption of such substances said the beer "has a weird, rare, and uncommon taste." For an adventure and delicious treat for your taste buds, rush to the store and select your own six pack of Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale. The brew sits on shelves for a limited time. Photo by Jonathan Thompson / The Pride Drink of the Week Ck/OooLfote, BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer The scrumptious secret of the bean of the cacao tree is arguably the greatest discovery in world history. Those who may scoff at this assertion will, wild-eyed, change their opinion when their mouths are stuffed with the ambrosial marvel that is chocolate. As the story goes, the Aztecs discovered the aphrodisiac potential of chocolate. Hundreds of years later, the association between chocolate and love lives on. The link is not only found in history and lore but in the chemistry of the human brain. The high we experience when happy or in love involves the discharge of chemicals phenylethylamine and serotonin by the brain into the nervous system. Chocolate contains these same mood enhancing agents. It is, then, no surprise why ardent suitors and the happily married alike buy up armfuls of See's and Godiva chocolates for Valentine's Day. We delight in experimenting on our loved ones MfcirtLiisL' and ourselves, entertaining ourselves with a grown-up version of playing doctor. If the mad chemist in you is dying to get out this Valentine's Day, why not introduce him or her to your inner bartender. Meet the Chocolate Martini - a cocktail glass full of the most indulgent love potion imaginable. Smooth and creamy, this libidinous libation is best when enjoyed with your sweetie. To make a pair of delicous Choco 'tinis you need: 1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur (I used Godiva.) v 1 1/2 shots creme de cacao 1/2 shot vodka (I recommend Absolut Vanilia.) 2 1/2 shots half-and-half Chocolate syrup to garnish Chocolate shavings to garnish Swirl chocolate syrup in two chilled cocktail glasses.

Large sandwich boards were propped up against a light post, and another was supported by Survivor missionary Joey Cox, to present their cause. Signs displayed presented large, graphic images of a bor^ tions and listed facts about conception, human life and abortion provided by the Survivors organization. As students, staff and the members of Survivors exchanged expressive words, debates, and conversations of agreement, a demonstration began in front of the display as a Women's Studies professor, Dr. Linda Pershing and several Women's Studies students proceeded to stand in front of the signs, blocking the images from other students passing by.

According to their accounts, they were forced to make statements after extensive abuse, and also forced to wave their rights to an attorney. Hank Jones, 70, and Ray Boudreaux, 64, two former Black Panthers, were scheduled to speak as part of the CSUSM event, but were arrested on January 23, 2007 for this same case from over thirty years ago. The morning of February 14, one of the scheduled speakers, Boudreaux appeared in court at 9AM for charges of murder and conspiracy, along with former Black Panthers Richard Brown, Henry Watson Jones, and Richard O'Neal. Ages 55-71, they Were brought in to Judge Donna Little's courtroom handcuffed and shackled at the ankles. Dr. Jodie Lawston from the sociology department opened Wednesday's event with a brief synopsis of the situation, and expressed how she considered canceling the event under the circumstances. She. went on to say, "I feel that the people who experience such oppression, directly, should be able to speak about it." She explained that the night before Ray Boudreaux had called to make a statement. Dr. Lawston states, "Ray called the Freedom Archives last night, and he wanted to tell everybody who came to this event that he was very sorry he could not be here today. He said, please tell everyone I wanted to be there but can not." After the film, Dr. Lawston and Dr. Elise opened the room to discussion. Dr. Elise clarified one student's question by saying, "You're question is why would they pursue them so adamantly even though they were innocent?" In response to the question Dr. Elise stated, "If you read about Cointelpro and its relationship to the Black Panther Party, you will see that they were out to destroy the Black Panther Party under any ruse." Dr. Lawston chimed in, "Two of the men who were arrested in 1971 were listed in Cointelpro as having to be neutralized. Neutralized was the exact language they used." Dr. Elise describes the persistent harassment of Black Panthers as a "mockery of liberty and justice," that fuels protests against police brutality. She shared about the film, "I was particularly struck by the film's point that the continuing pursuit of law-abiding Black Panther Party members is furthered by the Patriot Act that is invoked to justify their recent incarcerations based on the inclusion of statements extracted decades ago during torture by the police " According to BlackPanther.org, in October 1966, the late Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the organization, originally called The Black Panther Party for Self Defense. The organization focused on the fight for basic human rights, as the video mentioned. The Party set up several community programs such as the Free Breakfast Program. Soon, the Black Panther Party became the target of the FBI's Cointelpro, Counterintelligence Program that focused on "neutralizing" civil rights activists. August 29 1971, Sgt. John V. Young was shot inside the Ingelside Police Station. According to, Freedomarchives.org, in 1973, thirteen men were arrested for supposedly having a role in Young's murder. The video, ''Legacy of Torture: The War Against the Black Liberation Movement," portrays the accounts of these men, in their own words, of how they were tortured during interrogation. In 1975, a court threw out the evidence obtained from these torturous interrogations. In 2003, the Department of Defense Te-opened the case with funding from the Department of Homeland Security.

According to the pink "Sex and Cream" flyer advertising the event to be "An informative workshop on safer sex and includes demonstration of sensual products that includes alternative sexual items." The event at the Clarke Field House translated into: useful services that our SHCS Student Health and Counseling Services center provides, along with a basket full of lube and condoms. SHCS also introduced everything from vibrators to nipple cream. In addition to playing with sex toys and having a stranger administrate lube to the entire room, a generous amount of mini-pastries were readily available. SHCS's Health Educator, Nguyen, thoroughly and efficiently educated the room on the differences between bacterial and viral STI's (sexually .transmitted infections).

The seminar also included edible massage creams, lubes and powders, along with various vibrators and a peculiar "lifelike masturbation sleeve" by the name of Gigi which Cruz said, as she addressed the women in the audience, will "swallow for you if you don't want to." Though certain people admitted that they left the seminar smelling like catsup and mulch because of the pheromones that Cruz said, "have different smells on everybody," most students left with a different take on how to spend Valentine's Day.

Bacterial STI's such as Chlamydia are often receptive to treatment with antibiotics whereas viral STI'S such as herpes are the fun ones that stay with you. Nguyen also brought to attention the importance of being tested and said,' "Every first Wednesday of the month, the health center provides free HIV testing, and you can get results within 20 minutes." The testing is also anonymous and operates on a walk-in basis. Health Education was brought to an end with STI jeopardy and a free hand out offlavoredlube and condoms. The sex toys, lubes and creams were administrated and displayed by Jackie Weber Cruz, who offered to give everyone "their ; Sheip Rats possess a lot df ' Year H$tfie ilare people are denceand entertainanopfimistio ambitions and skilled Hares are outlook onffffi;Rats wosk 4Mb excellent entertainers and li (%m$* extremely careful w Ä how and resistant to diange* Bacalisi edgeabk, tote ttb io ttóiik arts.

That's why the administration wants to break our union. They want us to shut up about the 76% Jump in student fees since 2002 (and about their plan to hike them another 10% per year from now till 2011). They want us to keep quiet while they increase class sizes and slash outreach budgets. But public universities should be affordable and accessible for all. We won't stand by while they wreck the CSU! W hy won't we sign the administration's contract? We've gone five years with almost no raises, but their salary offer won't even keep up with inflation. And it won't change the fact that the CSU pays almost 20% Jess than similar schools around the country. A great education takes great teachers, but skimpy salaries are driving good people out. iiiiriiitlJillili Faculty have not decided to strike yet, but will be voting soon on whether to hold job actions. These may include two-day walkouts designed to send a strong message to the administration without keeping students from graduating on time. if we don't take action, faculty won't be able to afford to teach here and students will be priced out of school. Our working conditions are your learning conditions. And we all deserve the very best! It's time to stand together to save our school. We hope we can count on your support.

Today, more than 11 million American women are currently taking an oral contraceptive, and research shows that 80 percent of all U.S. women born since 1945 have used the pill. There is currently another option out there for women who use oral contraceptives. Femcon Fe, the chewable version of Ovcon 35, was released in September o f2006 by international pharmaceutical company Warner Chilcott of Rockaway, NJ. The new chewable version is spearmint flavored to not only reduce the risk of pregnancy, but ensure fresh breath as well. When taken correctly, oral contraceptives have a failure rate of less than one percent per year. However, studies show that 47 percent of women miss one or more pills per month and missing pills can increase the risk of pregnancy. The idea is that women who have a problem swallowing pills, no matter how small, now have a choice. Warner Chillcot is also marketing Femcon Fe as appealing to the mint and gum chewing population of females. Someone who may forget to take their birth control pill at a consistent time daily may be more likely tp chew on one. The packet comes in a twenty-eight day regimen. There are twenty-one round white tablets followed by seven green (inactive) tablets to complete a four week cycle. It can be swallowed or chewed. If chewed then swallowed, it is important to drink a full eight-ounce glass of water to wash it down. CSUSM Senior Elizabeth Sheets discussed the matter, "I think it is improbable that a chewable pill will make you less likely to forget." She did not see the advantage to the spearmint flavor as an attraction saying, "It's still the pill, you know?" Another selling point of theflavor is an appeal to the younger generation of women that are looking for a desirable form of oral contraceptive. Young women who may lead a sporadic lifestyle with no regular routine can take Femcon Fe on the go. The intention of marketing to teenagers led CSUSM Senior Desiree Silva to remark, "Are they trying to encourage young girls to be sexually active?" She raises a good point, but contraceptives are not strictly for sexually active women. They can regulate the menstrual cycle and decrease bleeding. Oral contraceptives may provide benefits other than prevention of unintended pregnancy including protection against ovarian cancer, benign breast disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, and iron-deficiency anemia. The 75 milligrams of iron contained in the green "dummy" pills, taken during week four of the twentyeight day cycle, helps to fight iron-deficiency anemia. The risks are similar to that of other oral contraceptives. Blood clots, heart attack, and stroke are all possible side effects. The wholesale price is $44. Femcon Fe is not currently available at the Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS). SHCS was not aware of the release of the Warner Chilcott product and the Director of the clinic Dr. Karen Nicholson said, "I don't know if we will carry it or not."

Photo courtesy of Warner Chicott/AP HPV and Gardasil, you could be "one less" BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer For many women, cervical cancer is important and valid concern. Until recently though, there was no safeguard or precaution available to women to protect themselves from the uncertainty of cervical cancer; and one known cause for cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus, also referred to as HPV. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can be carried and transferred through sexual contact by both men and women. Photo courtesy of Merck & Co. HPV is most commonly passed had this virus. There are many on through sexual contact, (either different types of HPV. For most vaginal or anal sex), but can also people, the virus goes away on its be contracted through skin-to- own.

"Every year in the United States about 10,000 women get cervical cancer and 3,700 die from it. The most common cause of abnormal PAP smear results is due to HPV infection," said Karen Blattner, the Nurse Practitioner for the CSUSM Student Health and Counseling Services, in her column linked from the SHCS website. Gardasil is currently available at SHCS for female students, as the vaccine has not yet been approved for men. Yet although the vaccine is available to students at SHCS, it is still an expensive vaccine. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Medical Director for SHCS said: "[the vaccine] does cost money, the charge at the health center is $120 per shot and it is a three shot series given over six months. This is costly and can be a problem. If students have health insurance, we encourage them to verify with their insurance company whether or not the vaccine is covered. If it is covered, we recommend that students use their insurance to obtain the vaccine. For students without health insurance, or who have insurance that doesn't cover the vaccine, Merck, the m anufacturer of Gardasil, has a pre- scription-assistance program that would allow students to get the vaccine for free. Students must meet the criteria established by Merck in order to get the vaccine for free. For questions about this process, please contact our Health Records Technician, Shelley Ross, and she will be able to assist you." If students have further questions about Gardasil, Dr. Nicholson encourages them to visit or make an appointment at SHCS. "We have lots of printed material about Gardasil, as well information on our website. Students are also given this information during visits with our Health Educator or with the Medical providers." SHCS is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120 Craven Road (directly across Twin Oaks Valley road from campus).

This ancient process has withstood history and remains in many societies throughout the world. Breweries and wineries utilize fermented sugar to produce beer and wine. The current drinking age for such beverages in the U.S. remains 21. However, dissimilar times and days for drinking differ amongst the states. Georgia restricts the sale of liquor on Sundays while Las Vegas allows for consumption of alcoholic beverages night or day any day of the week. Consumption of alcoholic beverages has lead to many traditions, especially on 21st birthdays. Venturing out to a bar at the stroke of midnight on a 21st birthday remains popular amongst society. "I went to the bar at 11:55 p.m. to kick off the day," said Junior DeLacy Brown a Liberal Studies major, who recently turned 21 in early February. "I went into the clubs the second the clock stroked midnight," said Junior Michael McBride. When asked if the tradition of drinking at midnight on 21st birthdays remains popular, Brown said "[it's] very much alive," as McBride said, "I think it is strong and alive." They also stated that there were no mishaps during their night of drinking at their fresh age of 21. "Realizing that I was 21 and legally able to drink, buy alcohol, [and] go to bars whenever I wanted if I heeded to made me feel like an adult," said McBride. However, the U.S. Senate is taking aim at this tradition. The U.S. Senate has passed House Bill 36, specifically for Texas, which has become known as the 'Cinderella Bill.' Under the proposed bill, people turning 21 would not be able to consume alcoholic beverages until 7 a.m. on their birthday. Similar bills are currently either in effect or still being proposed in other states. The bill originates from Texas. State Rep. Rob Eissler pioneered the bill after one of his constituencies' son died the day of "his 21st birthday due to a night of binge drinking. Under the 'Cinderella Bill' bars serving 21-year-olds before 7 a.m. will be guilty of committing a Class A misdemeanor, will receive a $4,000 fine and those whom served the alcohol could serve possible jail time. Furthermore, the bar could have its license for serving alcohol revoked or suspended. The rationale for the bill lies in the current situation created by legal hours of drinking. In California 2 a.m. signifies the deadline for all consumption and purchases of alcohol for the previous business day. If a person were to begin drinking at 12:00 a.m. (as many 21-year-olds often do) in honor of tradition, and participate in what's known as the "power-hour" (between midnight and 1 a.m.), they would only have two hours to consume alcohol. The bill hopes to discourage mass consumption of alcohol between the wee hours in the morning and in return prevent future deaths. Brown said, "I think [the Cinderella Bill] is absolutely ridiculous! Almost everyone I know celebrated their 21st birthday at the bar at midnight. I understand that some may think newly capable drinkers won't be responsible drinking too much while celebrating, but just a few more hours later isn't going to benefit anyone." CSUSM currently mandates an alcohol awareness program for all entering freshmen, and the Student Health and Counseling Services Center offers a variety of alcohol education programs, services, and peer advising. SHCS is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120 Craven Road (directly across Twin Oaks Valley road from campus).

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos is currently striving to retain our title as "Grandmaster Recycling Champions" in the RecycleMania competition, a national contest motivating schools to cut down on waste. CSUSM has won the competition for the past two years. The good news is that CSUSM is currently first place in the competition. The not so good news is that we still have seven more weeks to go, and any of the other 200+ participating college campuses nationwide still have a shot at claiming the number one spot. Recycling is relatively easy to do at CSUSM. In fact, sometimes it is more difficult to find a trash can with all of the multitudes of recycling bins at our disposal. The people responsible for CSUSM's wonderful recycling program call themselves the Green Team which includes Facilities Services personnel Mui Sullivan, Steve Waiters, Carl Hansen and Ed Johnson. They are in charge of deciding where to put trash and recycling bins throughout the campus. However, according to Green Team member Ed Johnson, the members of the Blue Crew are the guys doing the real work. Blue Crew members can be seen collecting recycling items and trash wearing blue shirts and driving white golf cart-type vehicles. Blue Crew members include James Dimortino, Rafael Lopez, Nicolas Magana, Gilbert Muffoz, Mike Tili and Green Team representative Carl Hansen. These guys are serious about recycling, and a large part of why we are currently winning RecycleMa- nia 2007 is because of their dedication. Nothing makes them sadder than to see recyclable items in the trash, and although they do what they can to make sure that everything that is recyclable gets recycled, they do not have the time to correct every trash can infraction. "Give them support and a pat on the back," said Johnson. A good way to show support for the Blue Crew and RecycleMania is to recycle; and around CSUSM, it is certainly not difficult to do so. Recycling bins are everywhere, and almost everything can be recycled. Only items like yogurt cups, microwavable trays, Styrofoam, plastic grocery bags, pizza boxes, non-jar and non-bottled glass, high-gloss paper, napkins, tissue and spiral notebooks cannot be recycled. Even batteries and printer cartridges can be recycled on campus. Although our campus has bins labeled "mixed paper" "bottles" and "cans," these are merely suggestions and any recyclable material can be placed in any recycle bins. Johnson also says that faculty can help with RecycleMania by doing their spring cleaning before the contest ends on April 7. The Facilities Services on campus have a goal to reach zero waste, meaning that nothing is wasted. Their vision is to create a better world starting with Cal State San Marcos. According to statistics on the official RecycleMania web site, CSUSM i s not only first place in the grand champion category, but also in the corrugated cardboard category. In the Per Capita Classic, CSUSM is currently in fifth place.

Soon after the Chargers lost to twotime superbowl MVP Tom Brady and the Patriots 24-21, the bizarre happenings began. LaDanian Tomlinson, who is Mr. Humble in this age of the attention hoarding star, took offense to the Patriots' mimicry of Shawne Merriman's sack dance on the Bolts logo at mid-field. Tomlinson openly criticized Patriots Coach Bill Bellicheck for the way his team conducted themselves. A team with three superbowl rings in this millennium should have a bit more class, but L.T.'s comments were uncharacteristic of the reigning league MVP. The Chargers had a choice to make following a record setting regular season that came crashing down in the playoffs in front of the record home crowd of 68,810. Could the owners of the franchise, the Spanos family, actually fire a coach who had led this team to win 14 games? The Bolts two regular season losses were by three points each, as was the playoff loss. Coaches matter most in close games. It's the decisions made in crunch time, when the game is on the line that defines a head coach. There is also that little thing about the post season. This game is about Superbowl titles, of which the Chargers have none. Marty Schottenheimer is a winner. He has 200 career regular season victories as a head coach, sixth all-time. Every stop has been a successful one. Teams are better with Marty as head coach than they were before he arrived, that isn't in doubt. His track record speaks for itself. The problem is the post season. This year was supposed to be different. With an eye-popping 5 up and 12 down record in the playoffs, Marty was due to eventually win one. Even with the best team in the league on paper, Schottenheimer found a way to lose when the stakes are highest. His first playoff loss came during the second Reagan Administration. His last win, with Joe Montana as his quarterback, was when Bill Clinton was serving his first term in the White House. He's lost six straight since 1993. He's been one-and-done nine times. They've been tough and close; eight have been by five points or less, two have gone to overtime. The players liked Schottenheimer. Chargers' General Manager A.J. Smith did not. Their relationship was tenuous and almost non-existent, even to the point the two men had an intermediary when communicating. After the gut-wrenching home playoff loss to the Patriots many fans were calling for the coach to be fired. Schottenheimer had one year left on his contract and the offer to extend an extra year was at a substandard rate. A.J. Smith did not want Schottenheimer to stay, that was obvious, but for continuity's sake offered him one year at less money than he was currently making. Marty scoffed at the offer and was in turn put in the "lame-duck" category, when a coach is in his final year. With questions about their future, the coaches under Schottenheimer began a mass migration towards job security. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, whose squad led the league in points and produced an MVP in Tomlinson, left to become the head coach in Miami. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, architect of a defense that led the league in quarterback sacks, took the head coaching job in Dallas. Linebacker's coach Greg Manusky is the new defensive coordinator in S.F. and tight end's coach Rob Chudzinski will be the offensive coordinator in Cleveland. The whirl of the coaching carousel led to even more dissension between lame-duck Schottenheimer and GM Smith. Marty wanted his brother to interview for one of the coaching vacancies, while Smith couldn't stand having one Shottenheimer around. So a month after the Chargers kicked their fans in the gut one more time, Marty Schottenheimer was canned. The core of this team is laden with great young talent that's under contract till 2009 or beyond. Even so, there is a window of opportunity for a team, and this town is eagerly awaiting the chance to celebrate a superbowl win. Let's hope GM A. J. Smith and the Spanos family, máke the right decisions in getting this team hungry to advance deep into the playoffs following the 2007 season. imwtMm SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00 - $18.00 per hour , ^ Customer •••PHL 1* „ _ IVI^rai program is underway.

Using the headlines "Something must be done" and "Girl hit by car suffers minor injuries," seems to be making a big deal out of little news and reminds me of MSNBC or FOX news. Sensational journalism is something that a university newspaper should be trying to stamp out, rather than have its own editor-in-chief promote it himself. The press is a powerful tool, often called the 4th branch of government because of the power it wields, the use of headlines that are informative and not inflationary is paramount to a respectable print.

In 1992, Ballast Point started Home Brew Mart. In 1996 they decided to build their own brewery in the back of their store, and they started brewing the September of 1996. They not only brew awardwinning beer but they will help you get started brewing your own. Ballast Point currently distributes five award-winning beers, Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico Amber Ale, Big Eye I.P.A., Black Marlin Porter and Wahoo Wheat. The one that I chose to enjoy was the Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale Ale. . I was f irst introduced to Yellowtail Pale Ale in Solana Beach at the Fish House just east of the 101 Highway. I was ordering some of the world best fish tacos and trying to decide on a beer to wash them down with. They have a fairly good selection of beer there, so I was having a hard time narrowing it down. I am a sucker for local brews, so when they told me that Ballast Point brews and bottles their beer locally in San Diego, I was sold. As I sat down with my f ish tacos and my own pitcher of Yellowtail, suddenly out of nowhere a few friends showed up to help me finish the beer. How they knew where I was I still don't know, but, as always, it was a good time. Everyone enjoyed the beer and most of my food. Knowing that the beer didn't travel more than 25 miles to make it to my glass, made it even more refreshing. They Yellow Tail Pale Ale, is know as a Kolsch type of beer. Kolsch originated in Cologne, Germany. The Yellow Tail is brewed using wheat and is pale in color. It is fermented at warm temperatures with ale yeast. Yellow Tale tastes like a pilsner beer, but it has a hint of fruitiness because of the Tettnanger hops and ale yeast that are used, although it is less bitter than most German beers. Ballast Point claims that Yellow Tale is fermented with yeast that they stole from breweries in Cologne Germany. Unlike most ale, Yellow .Tail f inishes very smooth with a very mild aftertaste. In Cologne Germany, Kolsch Beer is brewed by 21 breweries, which makes Cologne the city with the most breweries in the world. Unfortunately for us, however, none of those breweries export to the.U.S. So, we only have a handful of breweries that brew Kolsch beer and Ballast Point is one of those. The Yellow Tale Pale ale is their Kolsch Beer.

They choose what Internet sites to get their news; they TiVo the types of television programs they like, and they only listen to the music they choose on their MP3 players. People can now choose to go throughout life without ever being exposed to a new point of view. This is why a college education is so important: it opens up the boxed-in minds of its students. Cal State San Marcos not only aims to open students' minds through diversity-conscious educational programs, but through the arts events on campus. On Thursday, February 15, the Tanosaki-Richards duo performed for an audience in Arts 111. The type of music the Tanosaki-Richards duo perform is a perfect example of music the typical college student would not normally be exposed to. Tanosaki-Richards's piano and clarinet npiusic infuses modern Japanese style music with experimental sounds that many people have never before heard. The duo consists of pianist Kazuko Tanosaki and clarinetist E. Michael Richards. The duo, who are married to each other, have been playing together since 1982. They met while pursuing degrees at the University of San Diego. Richards received his Ph.D. from the University of San Diego after getting his bachelor degree at the New England Conservatory and his masters at Yale School of Music. Tanosaki has a bachelor degree from the Kunitachi College of Music in Japan, a masters from University of San Diego and a DMA in piano performance and literature from the Eastman School of Music. As a duo, they have performed in various prestigious venues ranging from the Piacenza Conservatory in Milan, Italy to the dux> Lincoln Center in New York City. The type of piano and clarinet music they play is unlike anything heard on a regular radio station. It is not classical music, and it was surprising to hear something so different from instruments that are so ordinary. They played five different songs on Thursday, and before performing, they explained a little about each song. The first song they played was "Jakkyo (Quiet Sounds)" composed by Japanese artist Masao Honma.- This song was particularly interesting because Richards played two different tones at the same time with his clarinet. u Out Of a Blaze of Light" was the next song performed. Written by Japanese composer Hiroyuki Itoh, the song featured clarinet quarter tones $nd a multilayered timing technique used by the pianist. The next two songs were solo pieces. "Elegy" by Italian composer Carlo Alessandro Landini was a clarinet piece that was much more melodic than the other selections. "Piano Distance" by Toru Takemitsu was an open form song that Tanosaki played with precision and emotion. Their final song "Mirror" by Shirotomo Aizawa was a shorter piece that had an interesting haiku sequence within. The concert was the first of the Funes Fund Concert Series, which features performers who provide new and exciting artistic experiences for Cal State San Marcos students. This concert series was established in memory of founding faculty member Don Funes of the visual performing arts department. Upcoming concerts include Ho-Asogli, an ensemble featuring traditional West African drumming and dance on Wednesday, March 7 at noon, and an Irish session band on Monday, March 12, at 7:30 p.m. Both events will be held in Arts 111. These concerts are a wonderful opportunity to break out and explore the musical stylings of different cultures.

"Bridge to Terabithia" is certainly one of those children's books that adults will always fawn over for its inspiring story and great literary significance. However, it is also a book that children can enjoy simply for its own sake, and that is a very rare combination. Katherine Paterson avoids any heavy-handed moralizing and contrived plot devices and instead has written a book that maintains the perfect balance between entertainment and enlightenment, which is probably why it won a Newberry MedaL The main character of the book is Jess, a fifth-grade boy Photo courtesy ofSamantha Loomis Paterson The preteen book-with-alesson genre has been popular for many years. For every parent or teacher who has Movie Review who is "the only boy smashed between four sisters" in a poor family. At school he is the strange kid who likes to draw. At home, his mother favors his sisters, and his father thinks he is a sissy. One day a girl named Leslie moves into the farmhouse next door. The family is different from anything Jess's conservative small town has ever seen. Leslie doesn't have a TV, and she doesn't wear dresses. She races the boys at recess time—and wins. Jess and Leslie become best friends, and together they navigate their way through the hazards of being different. They invent their own imaginary land, Terabithia, where they are king and queen. Then one day a catastrophe strikes, and Jess has to deal with the loss of the only person in his life that made him happy. Katherine Paterson's realistic storytelling in this book is truly inspired. The setting and characters are based on a rural community near Washington, D.C., and the reader gets the feeling that he or she really could go visit this small town. Very few of the characters are simply flat plot devices, there to foil the hero and heroine or move the plot along. Even the most seemingly insignificant characters actually have very complex reasons for the way they behave. Likewise,, not all of the problems and challenges that Paterson creates get neatly wrapped up and resolved by the enci of the book. The most powerful part of the book is Paterson's description of the grief and loss that Jess experiences. She was inspired to write this book when her own son's best friend was killed in a tragic accident, and her story has an authenticity that could only come from someone who experienced the senseless loss of a child first hand. It's easy to see why "Bridge to Terabithia" is such a favorite of teachers. There are is a lot of material that could be used for instruction in the classroom. It is fairly easy to pick out material that could be used for discussions about characterization, setting, symbolism and foreshadowing. But even though they may be learning while they read, kids will love this book anyway. It had me completely absorbed right from the beginning, and by the end I was sobbing like a baby. SCREEN A DAPTION F AUS SHORT Bridge to Terabithia BY SARAH PULTZ Pride Staff Writer "Bridge to Terabithia" is a favorite of many children and adults, so i t's no surprise that Hollywood eventually decided to t urn the book into a movie. However, it is surprising that the filmmakers missed the opportunity to turn what is arguably one of the greatest children's books of all time into anything more than a mediocre vehicle for CGI e ffects. The filmmakers chose to leave out many of the most moving and meaningful moments of the book, j ust to make room for some stunning visuals and intense plot twists. While these additions are certainly very pretty and exciting, they are nothing more than that—all f luff and no substance or significance. The moyie does stay t rue to both the plot and t he tone of the b ook. * People who have seen t he t railers and are hoping t hat t his movie is going to be a nother " Narnia'Mike f antasy story, will be d isappointed.

In a way, " Bridge t o T erabithia" is a ctually his story b ecause h is mother was i nspired t o w rite the book a fter t he death of his own best f riend when he was eight y ears old.

The movie falls short in its depiction of Jess's terrible tragedy. He has to learn to deal with the loss without losing the amazing g ifts his f riend gave him. While, the book depicts Jess's grief with heartbreaking realism, the itiovie glosses over these moments. What could have been some very powerful and moving scenes come and go in the f ilm without any real buildup or tension, almost as though David Paterson couldn't bear to relive them in a realistic way. Also, one of my favorite subplots is the tension between Jess and his father (Robert Patrick).

The audience can see her character develop from a background character to one that demands the attention and recognition of Thornton's Charles Farmer. She is the heart and the anchor of the family, a position that in life oftentimes lacks the appreciation it deserves. Thornton's performance seems effortless as the brilliant, hardworking aerospace engineer whose efforts are mocked and reduced to insane inventions by his detractors. Though there are imaginative aspects of "The Astronaut Farmer" that put to the test even the most amenable audience member's ability to suspend disbelief for 104 minutes, it is the relationships between the characters and not the plot that makes this film stimulate that mysterious mechanism inside each of us that stirs our thoughts and stimulates our capacities to dream. her dream," Madsen explained. "She's been married for 27 years, and [her husband and her] rocket was a diner. Her husband was a chef, and he always wanted to own his own restaurant . .. They all worked in the restaurant, and he made his dream come true. It became their collective dream. They were the Farmers, and that's where I got my inspiration and that's why the story made sense to me." Madsen said she can identify with the idea of holding on to a dream no matter what anybody says. "My rocket was Hollywood," Madsen revealed. "I wanted to be a professional actress, and I was a fireman's daughter. So, that was about as crazy as building a rocket, but I believed in myself and so did my parents." Of making her own dream come true, Madsen articulated, "You get discouraged a lot, but if you have faith and if you continue to believe in yourself, it doesn't matter how long it takes - you'll get there. It's about longevity. It's about perseverance." After years of feeling underestimated by the film industry, Madsen's perseverance finally paid off. "[The film 'Sideways'] changed everything," she said. "I think the most important thing it did for me, not just being able to choose projects like this, the kind of people I work with now, but it gave me a lot of confidence. That was the most important thing. Going through an awards season with a movie like that, I gained a lot of confidence during that experience." Madsen also attributed some of her new-found confidence to her age. "[45] is the best age. There is more confidence that comes in your 40s of course. It's such a great age for women. 'Desperate Housewives' are having it too. Now it's cool. Now it's chic to be a woman in your 40s, because you're now considered like you know things. (Coy smile.) So, we're sexy now." BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures The Pride interviews: T h e P olish B rothers BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer A large glowing orb loomed, emanating pulsating hues of blue, orange, and red; vintage aircrafts hovered above; portraits of legends such as Neil Armstrong, Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, and Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. occupied The Hall of Fame, and the Apollo 9 Command Module Capsule stood proudly near the entrance to San Diego Air & Space Museum. There really couldn't have been a more suitable setting for the San Diego stop on the publicity tour for "The Astronaut Farmer." "'The Astronaut Farmer' started out as an independent [film]," said the film-making duo the Polish Brothers. "We made it independently under Warner Brothers Independent. That is ideally the best way to make a studio picture." The Polish Brothers are famous for such indie flicks as "Twin Falls Idaho," "Jackpot," which won the 2001 Independent Spirit Awards, and "Northfolk," an official selection of the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. The brothers, identical twins from El Centro, California, said they think about stories in a similar way. "There hasn't been anything where I'm like, 'Wow, that's -incredibly bad. That's awful * said Michael Polish of his brother's contributions to the collaborative process. "Whoever comes up with the idea takes the f irst d raft. Or, w e'll do an outline together, and then w e'll go do a d raft and pass it back and forth. Lately, he's been writing a screenplay by himself. I've been writing by myself," Michael explains. "You still need a clear driver on d rafts," he continues. " Let's say, for instance, Mark does a whole d raft. I 'll read it and say, 'Maybe these two characters are sounding the same. You need to make them more distinctive or get ride of them. In a way, I become an editor for his screenplay, and he becomes an editor for my screenplay." The Polish brothers made "The Astronaut Farmer" into even more of a family affair than usual by casting their ypung daughters in the roles of young Stanley and Sunshine Farmer, Michael's 7-year-old Jasper, and Mark's 4-year-old Logan, respectively. Once they knew they were going to use their daughters for the roles, the brothers went back and made adjustments to the characters of Stanley and Sunshine. Michael and Mark knew their strengths and played to them. They were nervous about putting their kids into the roles, however, and Mark said he doesn't plan on doing it again. On working with Virginia Madsen, who plays Audrey "Audie" Farmer, wife of rocketbuilding Charles Farmer, the brothers said she was "great. Great instincts. A lot of f un. Good mother. Both of them together, [Madsen and Thorntori], they were very f un to watch." Of her character, they elaborated, "She's the glue in that family." A fter they are done prompting "The Astronaut Farmer," the brothers' will move on to science fiction with their screenplay, "I.D." BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "The movie isn't really about a rocket. The movie is about working really hard to make your dreams come true and never giving up on your dream against all odds," said Virginia Madsen on February 15 at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park, which was one stop on the publicity tour for the film "The Astronaut Farmer." Madsen, whose filmography includes roles in movies such as "Dune," "The Rainmaker," "Sideways," and "A Prairie Home Companion," not to mention numerous television appearances, said she based the character of Audrey "Audie" Farmer, loving and supportive wife of Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton), who builds a rocket in his barn and intends to launch it into space, on her sister whose dream was to raise children.

Dr. Janet Powell, President of the local chapter of the CFA, said, "We feel very confident this vote will pass statewide." All faculty members who belong to the CFA can vote two separate ways. On March 5, the faculty will be able to vote in front of Kellogg Library. The CFA will also accept voting through email but can not guarantee anonymity. Once the voting is finished, CSUSM should know by Monday, March 19 if and when the CFA will go on strike. If the CFA chooses to strike, they will do so simultaneously with at least three Cal State Universities. The order and days of which the CFA schedules the strikes is unknown. Faculty members could go on strike "on any given Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday" said Dr. Powell. If after the CFA takes part in strikes across the California, and the Chancellor's office still withholds a fair contract for faculty, the CFA could chose to continue the strike. Dr. Powell added, "The pressure is on the Chancellor and Board of Trustees without hurting the students. We don't want to leave students out there. If we could do something else, we would." During last Friday's ASI meeting, ASI made a resolution on the CFA and CSU collective bargaining. Vice President of External Affairs, Jeremy Mills, said, "Basically, we are taking the stance that students have no place in the collective bargaining process. There's no way for us to truly know what's going on in the collective bargaining process because they do have closed session meetings and the only information we get is when See CFA, page 2 30 Seconds to Mars lead singer Jared Leto performs in front of a large audience their hit song, "The Kill" at 2007 Rockstar Taste Of C haOS II Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride The Pride goes back stage at the 2007 Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour SEE full coverage in ME, page 12 Historical Tukwut courtyard dedication to be held this week On Thursday, March 1, during university hour, Cal State San Marcos will be dedicating the Courtyard outside of Cougar Central on the third floor of Craven Hall as the Tukwut Courtyard. Tukwut (pronounced "TOOK-woot") is the Luiseno word for inountaifi lion. According to an article written by adjunct faculty member Brendon Cesmat, this word was given to Cal State S an Marcos by a Luiseno elder and adopted by the first graduating class of CSUSM as an unofficial mascot. In 1998, when the official mascot was chosen, The Pride / File Photo This courtyard just outside of Tukwut was not on the ballot, Cougar Central will be officially considered t oo difficult to p ronounce by then university presdedicated as Tukwut Courtyard. BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer CSUSM's S ocial a nd B ehavioral R esearch I nstitute t o p ermanently c lose in J une BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer In 1994, Dr. Richard Serpe put his efforts toward creating the Social and Behavioral Research Institute of CSUSM. Since then, SBRI has completed studies integral to the health and well being of the public on both national and local levels. On June 30, due to the strategic plan of the university and to the lack of finances, CSUSM's institute will close. Director of Research, Allen Risley, joined Dr. Serpe in 1994 to build the SBRI into what it has become today. Risley said, "The marketplace is very competitive to get research projects and the costs of research projects." Risley added, "I will miss work. These projects make a difference in the community." The institute has completed thousands of studies on social behavior. Some of those studies include health care for diabetics, victimization, compulsive shopping, childhood obesity and the public opinion in Carlsbad. See SBRIi page 3 ident Alex Gonzalez. Cesmat said, "The spirit of Tukwut has haunted the campus ever since the former administration denied Tukwut its opportunity at the ballot box." Associated Student President Roy Lee agreed, "Tukwut was a sensitive subject because we (students, faculty, administration and s taff) were not sure if the Luiseno people were okay with us utilizing the word a fter Cougar replaced it as our official mascot." Tribal Liaison Bonnie Biggs said that steps have been taken in the right direction to reclaim this g ift given nearly 17 years ago, and t hat ASI and the s tudents on campus have been giving it the respect and recognition it r ightfully deserves. Lee said, "ASI, as the official student voice, has made a statement to reclaim Tukwut as a g ift and acknowledge its significant meaning and history. We embrace Tukwut and hope that all students, faculty, adminisr tration, s taff and the community take ownership of it and develop the meaning of Tukwut for themselves as a person at CSUSM."

Also, if you have gotten a tattoo in the past 12 months, you can temporarily not donate." Schtite a dded, r "Every two seconds, someone in America needs blood. In Southern California, donating blood is so important because only three percent of Southern California's population donates. The amount of blood actually donated is one pint. The adult body contains 10 to 12 pints. So by donating you will be someone's hero- you may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother, or a sister another chance at life. In fact, you may help save up to three lives With jùst one donation."

As a student, I would like to know From SBRI, page 1 Sometimes, the SBRI will publish a report for their clients. Other times, SBRTs clients will create and publish a report based off of the information they'll receive from the SBRI. Risley said, "Helping to improve the quality of life for someone is the work we do." Risley will also miss what he described as, "The puzzles of doing research." Learning how and when to probe for answers from survey participants is considered the main challenge for new employees. But the puzzle of research remains in how to sort through and combine the information from the study to create a thorough and coherent report for SBRI's clients. Research Assistant William Andersen and Director of Operations Lori Brown Large agree, along with Lab Supervisor Jennifer Holmes agree that the closing of the SBRI will immediately create a void. "I think it's sad. Our work is to improve life for individuals and [SBRI's closing is] going to create a gap between the university and community," said Holmes. Currently, 65 employees work at the SBRI. 28 of the employees are CSUSM students. 10 of the employees make up a combination of Palomar students and high school students. In the past, the SBRI has employed up to 20 high school students at one time, making SBRI the only work place for high school students to work on the CSUSM campus. The rest of the employees at SBRI said they had the opportunity to watch the high school students grow. Large said, "One year, we got to see nine out of ten high school students go off to four year universities." Risley believed most of the high school stu- if she is involved in things like campus safety and being more available to the concerns of students." Philip Klinger, a graduating senior and Communication major said, "President Haynes has been an excellent leader and mentor to the students of San Marcos State University. Her idea of a hard work ethic for ultimate success on multiple levels has brought new light to my own ambitions, forcing me to look at distant dreams and turning them into short term realities. If I could say only one thing about Dr. Karen Haynes it would be her love of education reflected on the students of this campus that makes San Marcos State such a powerhouse for academi- cally elite knowledge." CSUSM alum, Patrick B. Long, said, ' In an overall score of the president's review I would give her an overall positive review. In the matter of decision making and effective planning, President Haynes has done a fairly good job. Also, her involvement in community relations has been adequate to achieve a passing review. In my mind, however, she has to work on her involvement with students, faculty, and staff on campus." To see the Chancellor's memo in full, please see www.fliecsusmpride.com. The Chancellor's office will be accepting lettersfromCSUSM students until Thursday, March 15. dents' learning took place in the interviews they conducted for research. "[In] talking to people, you see them gaining perspective on who the rest of the world is." Large believes employees are slightly more affected from the closure of SBRI than the students. "[The students] will have to find something else. Some of our researchers will stay here but the rest of us will have to find new jobs and move on." When speaking of the employees, Large said, "They love what they do and will have to find something else." Large said that she will miss "the mentoring aspect of it.

I tó < mmâ;ym m — —í •. -, 1 û ì ) ¡MM �Website of the Week BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer The new search engine, ChaCha, created by Scott Jones and Brad Bostic, aims to provide the public with a uniquely enhanced search tool, unlike any other search engine before. In using what the website is calling "the World's most powerful technology tool- the human brain," ChaCha's intent is to provide an improved search experience by integrating what their best computer-generated search results are with the results that are handpicked by human guides. The searchengine continuously "learns" through the aid of human intelligence and is therefore constantly improving. If the basic search is not satisfying particular requirements, the website connects the user with a "live human guide who will find the information for you through an instant messagingstyle search session"— all entirely free. The website is named so, primarily because the word "cha" means "search" in Chinese and secondly because the Cha-Cha is a popular Cuban-based dance with a particularly fast pace. ChaCha is a Beta-based website, meaning that it is at a stage where the software is technically complete with advanced features and should be strong enough to complete most ordinary uses. Beta which is short for "Beta-test," also stands for "p," the second letter ofthe Greek alphabet coming after Alpha. Alpha tests are usually not feature complete and are commonly more unstable than Beta tests. The website is beneficial to students in two aspects. First, it allows for a personalized search, where students are able to communicate one-on-one with an experienced guide. Such accessibility paves an easier path to acquiring the useful information needed without having to sort through irrelevant M PVI P NI Road to graduation search results. The personalized searching also helps with detailed research in which students must find scholarly sources concerning specifically itemized subjects which might otherwise be difficult to find. Secondly, students that are experienced enough to become a "ChaCha Guide," must join the ChaCha Underground (an already existing community for current ChaCha guides) and be invited by a ChaCha guide who is at the Master Level. According to the website, ChaCha guides earn between "$5-10 per search hour based on performance. With a computer and a broadband Internet connection, Guides can work whenever and wherever they choose." This type of job is especially convenient for students because of the flexible work hours and being able to work from home. Students who already have an existing website and wish to draw in more traffic can use ChaCha's Adagent service that costs $25 to start up. The website states that ChaCha Adagent is "a true cost per click advertising medium that allows you to optimize your reach by optimizing search. This is a performance-based advertising program that allows you to bid on your category so your ad is matched with your site to achieve the highest click-through rates," as explained in ChaCha's informational section. Students can choose which categories they want and the ChaCha Adagent makes sure that it is seen by the people whom students wish to target. ChaCha also has a blog to promote the difference of their search engine. The blog allows users to obtain information about ChaCha that is not widely known, updated news on the website, success stories and comments by the creators of ChaCha. If students wish to learn more about the website or talk to a guide, go to www.chacha.com. HMHHHP GradFest will be held at the Clark Field House Grand Salon.

It was becoming clear that someone in the jam-packed car was not too sure of the exact location of the base camp outside of M'Hamid.

This particular trip started in Ooarzazarte - a small town $i£u$ted gained a new depth of frustration as our Tuareg guide, Najib, tried to communicate his instructions to Abdul the driver.

Although it may seem cliché, camel riding is a good place to start the experience, along with camping in Berber style tents. There is nothing like traversing the red sands on a camel t o really feel immersed in a different mindset, and it is very easy to organize. There are numerous companies, both local and international, that have superb deals for a complete Saharan adventure, and most of them will offer the same trip that I experienced.

It's the smell of the .grass, the crack of the bat; baseball is on the way. Pitchers and catchers reported to camp February 15 to open spring training 2007. Before the Valentine's Day flowers have wilted, baseball teams are gathéring in Arizona and Florida to get loose for a grueling 162 game schedule. Spring training is a time of hope for f ans of every team. Payroll aside, every organization starts out even. And there is always a chance to catch lightning in a bottle like the 2003 Florida Marlins, or last years Detroit Tigers. There are questions and a bit of drama going into the 2007 season The Chicago Cubs, perennial chokers, invested an extra $30 million in their roster in an attempt to break a 98 year championship drought. Last year they lost 96 games and finished in last place in the weakest division in baseball, the NL Central. The Cardinals, eventual World Series winners, won a paltry 83 games. That's five games less than any other first place club. This off season the Cubs front office concentrated on some key pieces that could allow them to win quickly. Alphonso Soriano was signed to play centerfield for a measly $136 million over eight years. It will be a n experiment for the recently departed 2B. Last year there were mixed results defensively as Soriano played leftfield in Washington. The Cubs also added fiery manager Lou Pinella. f amous,for his attitude, track record, and pension for f ace-offs with the umpire. Message to National League umpires: bring your sneeze guard unless you want Pinella's spittle all over you. Will the Cubs break the "Curse of the Billy G oat"? The New York Yankees provide the drama. As usual, the soap opera of the Yankees organization started early this year. The big money Yanks, who haven't won a title since '00, were uncharacteristically quiet with acquisitions this off season. Other than the losses of 43 yearold Randy Johnson and 38 year-old Gary Sheffield, the Yankees didn't do much other than get younger. Then starting pitcher Mike Mussina questioned o ften injured pitcher Carl Pavano's heart. The best post season closer in baseball his- tory Mariano Rivera, i s disgruntled with his contract situation. Long time Yankee hero Bernie Williams, denied a minor league contract offer from t he,team. Two-time MVP (and playoff goat the last few years ) Alex Rodriguez and his one time best buddy Derek Jeter aren't going t o dinner and having sleepovers any more. Why A-Rod felt like disclosing this to the public is a little odd but it gives the Yankees continuity in one area, turmoil. Will Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's home r un record? He is 22 behind and barring injury it looks like a lock on paper. Bonds hasn't hit less than 25 HR in a f ull season since 1989. The swirling allegations of steroid use and looming p erjury charges have painted Bonds as a villain; taking the home r un record f rom one of the most respected players in the history of the game. It is so ugly that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has contemplated skipping the game when Bonds breaks of one of the most hallowed records in all of sports. The Padres have a new manager in SDSU product, Bud Black. The 12 year r un for the Padres Manager Bruce Bochy is over, ending his association with the organization since 1983. San Diego brought Marcus Giles in to play with big brother Brian on their hometown team. The Giles are from El Cajon. The Padres also added a young slugging third baseman by trading promising rookie Josh Barfield. Kyle Kouzmanoff has the sweet right handed power stroke that General Manager Kevin Towers has % been looking for at 3B. Greg Maddux brings his 333 wins and immeasurable wisdom to an already solid staff. Jake Peavy will t ry to bounce back from a sub-par year that saw his ERA j ump by more than a f ull r un and 6'10" pitcher Chris Young will try to build off his solid first year in San Diego. The Yale grad, led all of baseball in opponents batting average against last year. David Wells is back in a Padre uniform, back in his hometown. Wells hails f rom Point Loma, has 230 career victories, and is good for at least one bar fight per season. When the Padres let Dave Roberts and his 49 stolen bases migrate north to SF they opened a glaring hole in the leadoff spot. Will the Padres win the NL West for the third straight year? We shall see. BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer With poor conditions at the Lake San Marcos Country Club, the women's golf team had a battle on their hands. Senior Jennell French set a new school record by recording her third victory in individual scoring. French and the rest of the women's golf team had their struggles through the course. With poor conditions on the golf course, scores were higher than usual. French finished with a +6 and managed to stay ahead of the field of 67. As a team, the Lady Cougars shot a +48, finishing 5 shots behind the winning school, Embry-Riddle. Sophomore Danielle Pierce, senior Christina Austin, junior Cary Ludwig and junior Adriana Bormann helped lead the team to 6th place by finishing in the top-40. The men's golf team took a one-stroke lead in the first round and held off Point Loma Nazarene to win the Cal State San Marcos Invitational by one stroke. Junior Matt Determan helped lead the fight by tying UCLA's Lucas Lee for second place in individual scoring. Determan shot five under par in the final two rounds to finish with a +4 at San Luis Rey Downs. Following Determan was Junior Scott Conway who shot a +8 and tied Concordia's Tomas Gutierrez for Th place. Competing in his first tournament this season, Junior Markus Wendel made a 10th place debut finishing with a +12. Freshman Kevin Riley made a big impact shooting a 74 in the final round to finish tied for 15h place with fellow teammate, Junior Brandon Scolman who finished the tournament with back-to-back 75s. The! men's team won their first tournament*!^ the season and will look to continue their strong play. The women's team looks to recoup from the wet conditions and take aim towards nationals. Both teams now are preparing for the Point Loma Nazarene Tournament on March 4-6 at Steele Canyon Country Club. �Last week's key: College Courtesy of The Pride ACROSS 3 Impossible is nothing. 4 Great - comes from happy cows.

That's why I can sympathize with college football players who have to take the Wonderlic test at the NFL scouting combine. The test isn't terribly hard if you're an average college student. There lies the problem, however, since football players tend to spend more time in the weight room than in the library. The Wonderlic test consists of 50 questions in basic math and problem solving that need to be answered in 12 minutes. A score of 20 is considered to be an average score and a score of 10 indicates literacy. Frankly, I don't see how the Wonderlic test is appropriate for measuring how smart of an investment a player will be for an NFL team. Just look at Vince Young, who reportedly scored a six, and made the pro bowl in his rookie season. That is why I have devised my own test, which I call the Sandovalic. An etfkmple of a question on the Wonderlic test is: "Paper sells for 21 cents per pad. What will four pads cost?" I can understand how it might be difficult for an offensive tackle to figure out the answer is 84 cents. That is why the Sandovalic test tailors questions towards situations that may occur for an NFL player. In the Sandovalic test, however, a player doesn't know that a correct answer is a bad thing. The Sandovalic version of that last question is: "One gram of weed sells for 20 dollars/What is 5 grams worth?" Answer: An awesome high. Wonderlic question: "A train travels 20 feet in 1/5 second. At the same speed, how many feet will it travel in three seconds?" The answer: 300 feet. Sandovalic question: "Your limo takes you from San Diego to Las Vegas in five hours. Your private jet does it in 1/5 the time. How long does it take your j et?" The answer: Who cares? Life is pretty good either way. Wonderlic question: "A boy is 17 years old and his sister is twice as old. When the boy is 23 years old, what will be the age of his sister?" The answer: 40. Sandovalic question: "If you're 23 years old when you get your third strike, how old will you be when your sentence is over?" Answer: Doesn't matter, I won't get caught. Wonderlic question: "What is the ninth month of the year?" I don't think I should have to tell anyone this answer but just incase, it's September. Sandovalic question: "If you make $8 million dollars per year, how much will you be paid per month?" Answer: Enough for a new car each month. Wonderlic question: "Tom greeted Beth. Beth greeted Dawn. Tom did not greet Dawn. Assume the first two sentences are true. Is the final one true, false or not certain?" Answer: Not certain. Sandovalic question: "The linebacker tried to beat up the cop, The cop shot the linebacker. The linebacker was at fault. Assume the first two sentences are true. Is the final one true, false or not certain?" The answer: Only Steve Foley and Aaron Mansker.. .1 mean, only the linebacker and cop will know and the j ury will decide. If a player answers the Sandovalic questions correctly it gives NFL teams a better indication that a player is not a good investment more so than the Wonderlic questions.

Leibovitz's decision to combine the varying dynamics of her life into pne book wa$ based on her notion that her professional life and personal life are not two separate lives, but one life, innately intertwined with all the characters and events that make it up.. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, the exhibition reflects Liebovitz's photographic life as a whole. The first photograph, you'll encounter is that of Wadi Rum, Jordan - one of Annie Leibovitz's most notable landscape photographs. Then there is the photograph of the poised Demi Moore, pregnant with Scout Larue Willis. This image, revolutionary in 1991, boldly revealed what many wanted to cover up. Leibovitz's photographs are as much about the human form as they are about human loss, love, pain and success. The energy of her subjects reach beyond the photographs themselves. Leibovitz captures the assertive expression of General Schwarzkopf as she similarly did Currently on display at the San in the 1991 photograph of General Diego Museum of Art is the exhiColin Powell, then Chairman of bition, "Annie Leibovitz: A Phothe Joint Cheifs of Staff. Powell's tographer's Life, 1990-2005." The eyes reveal that his composure did photographic work Leibovitz did not come without effort. for magazines, her relationship Leibovitz captures the nervous with Susan Sontag, and her parenergy of playwright Tony Kushents' lives in Long Island are all ner and the confidence of Robert a part of it. Leibovitz's book, "A De Niro. At once we can connect Photographer's Life: 1990 - 2005," with Mick Jagger's heavy gaze or coincides with the exhibition. Joan Didion's intrusive glare. Excerpts from the book are placed In Leibovitz's photograph of next to several of the images in Michael Moore at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in 2004, Moore stands with three of his staff members, Bernardo Loyola, Kirsten Johnson and Gabriel Monts. Wearing t-shirts and jeans, they're surrounded by technical equipment stacked on the floor. Johnson and Loyola are armed with cameras. Monts supports a lighting fixture with his arms. Moore stands with both hands in his jacket pockets, with that spark in his eye, insisting he has something to say and that he wants us to hear i t In Leibovitz's photograph of Oseola McCarty, a philanthropist and washerwoman, McCarty's head is tilted slightly, smiling, as if she were inviting you to her. It's not that you, as a viewer, have a relationship with the people in these photographs, but you do experience t hefnr" The family photographs, though smaller in scale compared to the others, portray Leibovitz's own family In a beach scene, LeiboTop: "Susan at the house on Hedges Lane, Wainscott, Long Island, vitz's mom dances before the waves 1988." Bottom: "My parents with my sisters Paula and Barbara and with her grandson;further down Paula's son Ross, Peter's Pond Beach, Wainscott, Long Island, 1992." Beer of the Week Photos courtesy of Annie Leibovitz "Jamie Foxx, Culver Studios, Culver City, California, 2004." the wall, Leibovitz's brother feeds his baby daughter a bottle beside the pool as his father looks on. In another photograph, Leibovitz captures a candid morning scene in her parents' kitchen as her mother, wearing a bathing suit, as she is in most photos, prepares breakfast as Leibovitz's father reads the morning paper. I thought that these family photographs in the exhibit deserve more space; at least for us to move around in and become lost in our own days spent with family in arbitrary conversation around the table, beside the pool, or huddled around a new baby. Chi a wall adjacent to the young actress Scarlet Johansson and the talented Jaime Foxx, is Susan Sontag, at peace in her coffin. The photographs are arranged chronologically from 1990 through 2005 subtly noting the overlap of Leibovitz's own life markers and work Fat Tire BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer New Belgium brews the whimsical Fat Tire in Fort Collins, Colorado. Husband Jeff Lebesch and wife Kim Lebesch founded the company and chose to operate the company under a creative employee-owner business model in 1991. The company functions in an open-book manner and all employees have .complete access to accounting information. New Belgium practices many environmentally friendly concepts, with a continual focus on reducing, reusing and recycling the byproducts of brewing, and is committed to giving back to local communities. For each barrel of brew sold, they donate one dollar. Since 1991, they have donated over two million dollars t o non-profit char- . ities. The success of New Belgium has led to a great line of awesome brews including Fat Tire. Fat Tire, an amber ale, was crer ated after Lebesch toured Belgium on bicycle. He chose to name the brew Fat Tire in memory of his trek. Lebesch visited breweries all over Belgium. When he arrived home, Lebesch began working on Fat Tire with the recipes he had created while on a bicycle trip in Belgium. The simplicity of the blue and red packaging of the ale contrasts with its comical name. The beer has an alcohol by volume of 5.2 per- cent. The bottles are shaped like a common glass beer bottle; however, the company has \ designed a glass necklace style neck for the bottle, distinguishing it from those that are I mass produced. I The ale gives a strong aroma of biscuits I and has a bold sent that leaves the nosj i t rils wanting more answers that can only K be solved by tasting. A quick gulp sends * a surge of flavor t o the t aste buds. The taste buds search for more answers as they hold an election and vote for Fat Tire. Malts and hops comprise the ale. A fter the complete disappearance of the contents inside the bottle, the mouth is glazed over with remnants of the ale. The company's website suggests the ale be consumed with salmon, dry-aged cheeses, roasted chilies, omelets at midnight, sweet potato French fries, and other grilled and garlic items. Not caring for fish or having time to grill, I consumed the* ale with a thick, cheesy slice of pizza. The combo was perfect. So, next time you hop on your bike, throw on your Cougar hat, go to the nearest grocery store, and don't forget to pick up a six pack of Fat Tire.

What' is perhaps most interesting about the exhibit is that Leibovitz is successful in observing and pulling something from beneath the surface of so many people - yet in the most intimate photographs of Susan Sontag, whether she is suffering in a hospital bed, or sitting in a couch staring intently into the camera, we are still left without a solid grasp of who she was underneath her serious, dissatisfied stare. The success in this exhibit lies within the presence of Leibovtz's subjects whom she has made immediate to us. When her subject does not fully lend themselves to her, at least she provides us wiih a hint as to what they are thinking and feeling. What we do not know about the subjects in the photographs, we do not need to know, because slightly, yet sufficiently, we understand. Drink of the Week L<§tx)ÖD Drop BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Ah, the lemon - oh, infinitely u seful f ruit. Paired with poppy seeds, cranberries, or simply sugar, the precocious lemon lends its zing to everything f rom soups to pies, savory entrees to sweet treats. Lemon drop cookies are a particular favorite of mine, a doughy version of the candy of the same name. Hard, round, o ften lemon-shaped, and covered with confectioner's sugar, lemon drop candies are a classic candy favorite. The flavor is t art and bright; making one's mouth water and lips pucker. This distinctive sensation lends itself beautifully to the Lemon Drop cocktail. Comprised of 1 1/2 ounce vodka (I use Absolut Citron), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 lemon, the Lemon Drop is a delightfully refreshing little gem. Slice the 1/4 lemon into two wedges and toss them in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice. Pour in the vodka, add the sugar, shake and strain into a cocktail glass rimmed with sugar, and pucker up! �7i nnrart ÜU f / U ü f 1 f Pûl//ûU/ f Aw r / v r r i S ^^ " J BL A J L jp r * Members of 30 Seconds to Mars sign autographs at booth signing.

X V I I N O. 7 Historic Tukwut courtyard dedication BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, March 2, without a cloud in the sky, occasional cool breezes, and the sun shining warmly and brightly, the courtyard near Cougar Central was officially dedicated as Tukwut Courtyard. The beautiful day marked not only a new beginning, but also a continuation of Luiseno Tribal relations that began with the University's first class in 1990. Bonnie Biggs, professor emeritus and tribal liaison to Cal State San Marcos, said, 'Today represents the closing of the circle." She said that the University decided to honor the Luiseno people by seeking out a Native word to serve as an unofficial mascot After Tukwut, the Luiseno word for mountain lion, (pronounced "took-woot") was given to Cal State San Marcos, it was only used intermittently and inconsistently. "Today," Biggs continued, "the student leaders of2006 and 2007 also choose to honor the indigenous people of this land as evidenced by their successful advocacy to rename this courtyard." The dedication ceremony included a dedication prayer from Pauma Band Chairman Chris Devers, who also sang a traditional Luiseno song with his son, Chris Devers Jr. and nephew Gene Dixon.

One of the things that's different about law enforcement is, is that you need to have those qualities in your off duty life as well as your on duty life. This isn't a job where you come to work for eight hours." He added, "We call ourselves public Monday March 5, 2007, the CSUSM Writing Center begins offering assistance through online tutoring. The new program is available to all CSUSM students, and works similar to the in person appointments offered. Like all WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center is located in Kellogg 1103, and is open from Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I n response to the question, what inspired this program, the director of the writing center since 2005, Erin Goldin responded, "Many university writing centers already offer online tutoring. This campus is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to the writing center for tutoring. This way, busy students can still get help." Now easier than ever, asking for advice about any class paper is achievable in four simple steps through online tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer a few simple questions about the assignment like when is it due, what class is it for, and the instructions for the assignment. Next, attach your document, and wait for a response. Writing consultants suggest putting "as much information as possible in response to the questions when submitting online for optimum feedback." Most responses will take three to four business days depending on how busy the consultants are. Goldin still recommends making an appointment to come in whenever possible because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend thirty minutes. The more interaction there is, the more information and feedback the student receives." Students can make appointments online of walk-in anytime to check for available time slots. The center also offers workshops on a variety of different topics every Tuesday during university hour in University Hall? room 440.

Wayne Nelson and two others from the La Jolla Reservation also sang a traditional Luiseno song to commemorate the occasion. About ten Indian speakers spoke during the ceremony which around 100 students, faculty, administration and Luiseno people, including students from a nearby tribal charter school, attended. Each speaker was thankful for the acknowledg- ment and recognition extended to them by the renaming of the courtyard. Chris Devers said, "This is traditional Luiseno territory, and with the name ofthe Tukwut, I commend the student body for continuing to acknowledge that" Patty Duro, Rincon Band Member, said, "Ifs a pleasure to be here and to have our people and our language recognized here." Hunwut Turner, Rincon Band Member and Director of the Rincon Education Center, spoke specifically to the younger Indian students and current students of CSUSM saying, "When they do think about this courtyard, the Tukwut courtyard, they [should] say it loud and strong and proud, and that's what we should all be— proud to be Luiseno."

' I $M From WORKERS, page 1 . One group of students carpooled to a grassy hill on the corner of Manchester and Rancho Santa Fe in Encinitas. The other group of students arrived at the Home Depot on the corner of Luecadia and El Camino Real. At both sites, migrant workers are known to stand on the sidewalk and wait for strangers to hire them for work. Before the students left to meet the workers, A nne Skidmore of Intervarsity said, " They'll tell you about people who will hire them for work and t hey'll paint their house all day long and then t hey'll say, they don't pay us and will drop u s o ff." Skidmore encouraged the students to be open with the workers. " They're not u sedtd being treated well by the community. These guys have amazing stories. Most of them are open to share and t alk." . When the students l eft Commons, ASI's Director of Community Service Sherry Brideau loaded her white Honda with plastic bags f ull of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bananas, apple juice, orange j uice, nature valley bars and water. Brideau arrived at the Home Depot site with about 20 students to meet Intervarsity's Ramiro Marchena and the workers. But once the students parked and gathered, a security guard approached them. The security guard told Brideau that she would have to park her car across the street, in the Encinitas Ranch Town Center because her car contained the food for the workers. Once Brideau parked across the street, students met her t o carry the plastic bags f ull of food and the gallons of orange juice. In the time it took for students t o walk across the street, a Sheriff arrived at the Home Depot. The Sheriff had arrested one of the workers. If any of the men are to step beyond the unmarked line that separates the sidewalk f rom the parking lot, they could be immediately arrested. Marchena suggested that the students tell the Sheriff what they were h ere t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant workers, let them know that they were students f rom CSUSM and asked if they wanted anything to eat or d rink. One student said to a worker whom he had j ust given a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol." The man replied, "Poco English." At this, each young man shrugged and smiled. The Spanish speakers of the group were able t o hold longer conversations with the men, which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves said, "I thought it was really rewarding to come catch them o ff guard and they let u s in and told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little of what they were saying. They were really f un and easy t o talk to." One of the men told Spada that when a local bank across the street had been robbed, the police immediately questioned the men. Spada said that the man she was speaking to said, "They might have thought it looked like me but I would have never done something like that." Students also gave flyers to the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where their children could be tutored. The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach that holds Spanish masses. Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said, "They were saying that i t's tough to get a j ob— sometimes you get work, sometimes you don't. They come here for food; they're very impoverished. They cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and leave their families behind. So many people blame migrants for coming here j ust for the benefits. But how can they [get] benefits like health care, if citizens can't even get i t?" Carillo added, " In reality they are people who want t o help." I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most students had enough time t o talk with the men, the border patrol showed u p for the man who had been arrested. Some of the men, however, sprinted into the street in spite of the opposing t raffic t o avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said, "One particular thing that stood out t o me is that as the men saw the other guy being arrested and they were telling me that it made them angry because the action of one guy reflects on the others." Ramirez added, "I asked them if they were treated well, and they said for the most p art it is very p eaceful except when the minute men are there. The minute men t ry t o pull them over a certain line so that they will get arrested. They also told me that there was one time where three gangsters came and stole their valuables, and the security guard did nothing." The event itself inspired ASI and Intervarsity t o recruit more students t o serve these men more o ften. Marchena said, "There's a Catholic organization t hatreaches out t o migrant workers and the homeless. We need t o see how we can fit in with t hem— how we can do this more consistently, at least once a month. You kinda get Top: C SUSM student Thomas Colby pours orange juice for an appreciative migrant worker from Oaxaca. Above: Students witness the location where migrant workers live in North County.

A nd then it impacts us." Briedeau said, "Community service in general is very important because it enhances you as a person, and your college experience. You are putting yourself aside and serving others, which we tend to forget in today's society." R amirez a dded, " I loved participating in t his event b ecause their stories are a mazing.

They begin with looking at the overall goals ofthe paper, and not so much on sentence structure and spelling errors. The website states, "Our goal is to help you become a better writer, and we try to focus our sessions on tools or strategies that will help you on future papers." Usually they address the larger issues in a paper, such as the thesis and whether or not the student has met the requirements of the teacher's prompt. Although, from time to time, they mention things like, are you sure this is a complete sentence?" Goldin said. "Rather than making the correction for the student, students still do the work, but receive help through feedback." Consultants are ready and waiting for a positive response to the new program. Goldin shares, "We expect the pace to pick up once people get used to the idea." Goldin and others in the writing center spent the last six months researching what other online tutoring services are like, in order to develop the best program suited for CSUSM California Lottery grants provide the grant funding that makes this program available.

President Haynes, in addition to supporting the renaming of Tukwut Courtyard, has also formed the Native Advisory Council, one of only two throughout the Cal State University system. President Haynes said, "Today, thanks to our student leadership, and continued help and assistance from our neighbor elders, we are ready to commit this naming gift to a permanent name for a special part of our student life, our newly named Tukwut Courtyard." President Haynes also spoke of plans to raise funds to build a memorial statue in the courtyard. "The memorial will demonstrate the proud impact and influence the Luiseno people have had on this From CHIEF, page 1 servants. We really are." Chief Hackenberg said, "In the 30 years that I've been in this profession, things have really changed. Officers find they must serve the communities they are in. In no place is that more important than a university campus. We truly are a community." Chief Hackenberg came to CSUSM from San Jose State University where he was the Special Operations Lieutenant. For 25 years, Chief Hackenberg worked for the Pennsylvania State Police Department. In all its history, he was the youngest person to be promoted University," Haynes said. Roy Lee, president of Associated Students Inc., wore a shirt that said "With the mind of a Tukwut and heartofaCougar."When addressing the audience he said, "It is a beautiful day, not just the weather, but a beautiful day to be able to reclaim ourselves as not just a Cougar, but a Tukwut." He urged those listening to contemplate the meaning of being a Tukwut for themselves. The naming of the courtyard marks the first permanent presence of Tukwut at CSUSM. Lee said, "Tukwut is here, and it is not going away." About the ceremony, Biggs said, "It was a wonderful day for Luiseno people and for the university— one I will hold in my heart forever."

Chief Hackenberg also noted how he is looking forward to fitting into CSUSM's strategic plan and how the crucial goal of matching the University's growth would be the best service Chief Hackenberg and his team could provide.

When three young Americans (Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Lauren Poole) equipped with a camera, sought out for excitement in Africa— the only excitement they found were the sounds of children being captured during the night, and forced into the life of a child soldier. According to Jason, Bobby and Lauren, this nightmare was not their initial idea of a filmmaking adventure, but the three friends found themselves "stranded in Northern Uganda" and dedicated their time in there to "exposing this tragic and amazingly untold story." Whilst the majority of 8 year-olds in the United States are gluing macaroni to a piece of construction paper and sprinkling glitter across the page, children as young as 8 in Uganda are systematically being kidnapped from their homes by a rebel group called the "Lord's Resistance Army"(LRA). A gun or rifle replaces what should be a book or a pen, and according to the website, the children are "then desensitized to the horror of brutal violence and killing, as they themselves are turned into vicious fighters." A few number of children are able to escape, however, the majority of the children [m/lÚblt remain in LRA for the remainder of their lives, only experiencing life through fighting in guerilla warfare. The film "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," follows what the community has named "night commuters" as children "commute" during the night, from their villages to different towns in fear of being kidnapped. The film concentrates on 4 boys: Jacob, Thomas, Tony, and Boni, according the website, "through their eyes, we relive the terror of abduction, courage of survival, the heartbreak of losing a brother, and the innate joy— found only in a child." Because of their time in Uganda, the filmmakers decided to share this film and "inspire others, as it did them"; thus began the movement that is called Invisible Children. Due to the LRA, 250,000 boys and girls receive no education in Northern Uganda; only 30% of the schools are still functioning, but are overcrowded. Invisible Children offers a program called "The Education Program," where "Visible Child Scholarship provides fullride scholarships and full-time Ugandan mentors for war-affected children." In the ICEP (Invisible Children Education Program), each child is provided with a mentor who aids the child not solely for academic reasons, but to provide "careeroriented guidance, encourage success, and foster leadership success." There are currently 436 ICEP scholarship beneficiaries and 15 mentors. The "Schools for Schools" is a program that is much more like a competition, for schools across the United States to raise money to help build schools in Northern Uganda. Schools are urged to come up with different fund-raising ideas and compete with other schools for the grand prize - a trip to Uganda to help build a school with the money that was raised. According to the website, "the entire area of Northern Uganda has been ravaged by this 20-year-long war. Roughly 95% of the people in Northern Ugandan districts forced to evacuate their homes are now living in camps, earning no monetary income, and living in absolute poverty." Invisible Children also started the "Bracelet Campaign," which allows Famous scientist Carl Sagan once said, "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." Cal State San Marcos requires students to know at least a little about technology. It is called the computer competency requirement, and all baccalaureate students, irrespective of major, must fulfill this requirement before their third semester here at San Marcos or their records will be placed on hold, and they will be unable to register. The computer competency requirement, or CCR, can now be fulfilled in a couple of ways: either by taking a class that satisfies the requirement, or by taking the test. However, beginning in Fall 2008, classes will no longer be an acceptable means of satisfying the requirement. Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator, said, "This was a policy change approved by the Faculty Senate on the recommendation of the General Education Committee's Computer Competency Requirement subcommittee." The CCR website goes into more detail about the test, which classes satisfy the requirement, and provides study material and the exam schedule. It can be found here: www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. The CCR test is divided into four different sections: computer ethics, the Internet, basic word processing proficiency, and basic spreadsheet concepts proficiency. The computer ethics section tests individuals' understanding of software copyright, Northern Ugandans living in camps a way to earn money. The bracelets are hand-made from reed and recycled wire, and sold in the United States; the money that is raised from the campaign goes back into the Invisible Children Education Program. These programs function in a self-supporting manner and support themselves because of the numerous movements that have been set up to support each other and raise awareness to help the people of Northern Uganda in their struggle to survive.

The Internet section tests students on using the Internet to obtain information. The word processing proficiency section discovers if students can use basic features within Microsoft Word. The spreadsheet section tests students on using basic features in Microsoft Excel. Students may take the CCR test as many times as it takes to pass it. Atkins said, "There is no penalty for taking the exam multiple times." The exam itself can take anywhere from 2-3 hours. Students may take the exam on Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in University Hall room 273, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 or 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 or 2:30 p.m. (respectively) in Academic Hall room 202. Students need to bring a picture ID, a print/copy card with approximately $2 on it and something to write with. Print/copy cards are available to purchase in Kellogg Library. There is no time limit on the test, and there is no need for students to complete all four sections at the same time. Students must score 75% or better to pass the test. The sections are graded separately, that way if a student fails one section, he or she needs only to retake that section, instead of the entire test. No appointment is needed. Scores are posted on SMART Web within each student's profile.

With a record tying 25 trades at the deadline involving 44 players and 26 draft picks being exchanged between 27 of the 30 NHL teams. The trade deadline also makes the playoff picture become clearer. With six teams in the Eastern Conference pretty much guaranteed in the playoffs come April, four of them were active at the deadline. The Eastern Conference leader, Buffalo Sabres traded backup goalie Martin Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers, putting the weight on 2nd year goalie Ryan Miller to carry the remaining load and team through the playoffs. The Sabres also acquired Danius Zubrus from the Washington Capitals in a move that gives the team depth to a long list of injured forwards. The Southeast Division leader, Tampa Bay Lightning made several silent moves acquiring Shane O'Brien, Jason Ward and Karl Stewart. These additions give Tampa Bay depth in their defense and much needed toughness. The Pittsburgh Penguins added veteran Gary Roberts from Florida, which will give this young team a talented veteran forward who will be able impact the team's top two lines. The Penguins also acquired tough guy Georges Laroque from the Phoenix Coyotes. Laroque adds lots of toughness to the team that needs to protect their young sensations in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Stall. The Atlanta Thrashers made a bold move acquiring veteran forward Keith Tkachuk in hopes to rejuvenate a struggling offense. Tkachuk will give the Thrashers another talented player who will join a team that already has a list of great players. With only two spots remaining out of the eight-playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, these four teams made adjustments in hopes of giving their team the advantage over the other. The New York Islanders brought a shock to the hockey world as they received Edmonton Oilers fan favorite, Ryan Smyth. Smyth gave the Oiler fans a tearful goodbye, which brought flashbacks to 1988 in Edmonton, when the Oilers traded the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, to LA. This move gives the Islanders the upper hand over the other three teams. The defending Stanley Cup Champions, Carolina Hurricanes added Anson Carter in hopes of Carter regaining the 33-goal touch that he had the previous season in Vancouver. The Toronto Maple Leafs added center Yanic Perreault to the team who will provide a gritty, strong face-off man. The last team in the race would be the Montreal Canadians who appeared to pull themselves out of the race as they traded veteran defensemen Josh Gorges for a d raft pick and a prospective player who cojild help the team later down the road when he makes the pros. In the Western Conference, the Nashville Predators acquired Flyers captain Peter Forsberg. Forsberg was looked at as the biggest name on the market at the deadline, and it cost the Predators two young talented prospects and a first and third round pick. Forsberg finishes the miss- ing pieces needed in the Nashville lineup, as they were looking for a talented forward who could make an impact on their team, and Forsberg should do that as long as he stays healthy. Not far behind the Predators in the standings is the Detroit Red Wings who acquired Todd Bertuzzi from the Florida Panthers. Bertuzzi is currently hurt but should be joining the Red Wings prior to the playoffs. Bertuzzi could give the Red Wings that extra edge in a playoff series with his scoring and playmaking ability. The San Jose Sharks added veteran forward Bill Guerin from the St. Louis Blues. Guerin gives the Sharks another scorer who should fit right in with last years MVP Joe Thornton. The Blues gained three prospects, two first round picks, and one second and third round pick by trading both Tkachuk and Guerin. And if both these players return to St. Louis at the end of the season, St. Louis will be looking at this deadline as a great way to rebuilding a team that once made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs 25 times in a row. The Dallas Stars were able to add long time Kings captain Mattis Norstrom. Norstrom give the Stars a talented veteran blue liner who has great leadership. Also added prior to the deadline was forward Ladislav Nagy. Nagy could be a great pick for the Stars if Nagy can regain the scoring capability he had in past seasons. The biggest shock of them all was how the Pacific Division leader, Anaheim Ducks failed to acquire a steady defense and a big named forward for the Cory Perry and Ryan Getzlaf line. The Ducks failure to acquire a big name player allows the other Western Conference teams to strengthen themselves and better prepare themselves for when they face the Ducks in the playoffs. For the teams that knew they were going to the playoffs, they choose to buy while those who were already out decided to sell their players for their futures. There can only be one Stanley Cup Champion, which means 29 losers who will be rebuilding for next year. One thing is for sure; it is anyone's game. m ake i nformed, h ealthy c onfident c hoices Itium 277 S.

Luckily enough my destination, The Oliver St. John Gogarty hostel, was situated in the Temple Bar - one of the most celebrated (or detested) and pub congested areas of Dublin. Temple Bar is truly a sight to wander into. It is an area of narrow, cobblestone streets, packed with people virtually twenty four hours a day, albeit mostly of the tourist variety. It is not just a festival of pubs, there are eating establishments aplenty, and it is f ull of art galleries, theatres and children's entertainment. It is easy to find, lying between the Bank of Ireland and Decades ago, James Joyce Christ Church Cathedral, and wrote that "A good puzzle, would it has a very energetic, friendly be to cross Dublin without pass- atmosphere.

Starting out from Temple Bar, the heavily trafficked Ha'Penny Bridge takes you across the river Liffey to the bustling shopping areas streets of the north, and O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare. O'Connell St. is a busy street lined with department stores, magnificent statues and, if you are feeling too lazy to walk, you can grab a local bus or sightseeing tour. However, my suggestion is that you walk, walk, and walk! Dublin is a very compact city and you can reach many attractions by foot. One place that is worth a visit, on, is Trinity College. The illuminated manuscript "Book of Kells" is housed here, and is truly breathtaking, as is the extensive library. Ireland is famous for its contributions to literature: indeed both the Dublin writers and James Joyce Museums are superb. How- i ever, as a big Oscar 1 Wilde fan, I was keen A to see the Wilde house. The house itself is part of the American College of Dublin campus and it is an interesting, if small, exhibit.

It was a big exhibition with an even bigger merchandise section, yet the highlight was definitely having a complimentary pint in the pub at the top of the factory. The pub has a panoramic view of the city and serves only two drinks'normaP Guinness (room temperature) and cold Guinness. It would have been easy to spend a lot of time at the storehouse, but I still had a lot I wanted to see: Dublin Castle, Dublinia the Viking exhibition and the infamous Kilmainham Gaol. These are all excellent places to visit in that you can learn a great deal about Irish culture, both ancient and more contemporary. Dublin is a great place to visit and, due to it being compact, even a short visit will not disappoint. Do. not wait to visit this part of Ireland, it is changing a lot.

Here is the situation first. Vladimir Radmanovic of the Los Angeles Lakers is making 5.2 million dollars this season. He loves to snowboard, which can be a dangerous sport. So the Lakers put it into his contract that he isn't allowed to snowboard while under contract with the team. Turns out, the Lakers were right about Radmanovic because he separated his shoulder while snowboarding during the all-star break. He initially lied about it, because he knew he would face punishment if the team found out. Shortly after living the lie he made like George Washington and told the Lakers what happened. They quickly answered back with a 500,000 dollar fine because he violated his contract and will miss two months. My question, is it right for the Lakers to say he can't do a certain thing that he's passionate about? I mean, in what other industry do you see it written into a contract that you aren't allowed to do certain types of extra curricular activities? Radmanovic could've just as easily separated his shoulder taking the trash to the bottom of the driveway. I know the team is just trying to cover its butt from having to pay an injured player who (August 22 - September c a œ isn't contributing to a team, but what's 500,000 thousand to a multi-million dollar franchise. It may seem a lot to you and me, but Lakers owner Jerry Buss cleans his hands with 100 dollar bills. It gets to the point where athletes are no longer looked at as regular human beings because they make millions of dollars. I for one know that when I'm a millionaire one day I'm still probably going to be the same goofball that I am now and will partake in the same activities that I do now. What if someone told you that you couldn't do one of your favorite activities anymore? I can just imagine someone telling me one day that I shouldn't play basketball anymore because I may sprain a wrist and wouldn't be able to type. The way that I look at it is that you make your own decisions and you should live with them. You may think Radmanovic is stupid for snowboarding when he was specifically told not to, but I think he's bad and not bad as in bad, but bad as in good. He is living his life, doing the things that he wants to do. Here's another question for you? Would you have lied like Radmanovic originally did or would you have come clean right away like he eventually did? I don't know what I would do. It's-hard to say unless you're in the actual situation, but I have a feeling I probably would have done what he did. I know most people think the exact opposite of what I've said so far, but I commend Radmanovic. His soul can't be completely bought just because he can shoot a basketball. Apparently, he's one of those rare athletes who is still human. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.

Beer of the Week Karl Strauss Amber Lager BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Evil Blue Thing," my friend said as I resumed my seat next to her at the bar. "Yeah, but what's it called," I responded, pointing to the brilliant blue libation in her hand. She j ust giggled, and I realized that The Evil Blue Thing was already working its malevolent magic. The beverage seemed to glow with impish potential. Sinfully sweet, but not saccharinely so, the Evil Blue Thing goes down smooth, feels warm and creamy on the tongue, and leaves a pleasant aftertaste in one's mouth. Like many mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts of alcohol, so the Evil Blue Thing can easily live up to its name if the drinker is innocent and allows him or herself to get tricked by the Thing's wicked charms. That said, the Evil Blue Thing can be a pleasurable companion if one is savvy and enjoys sweet (shocking blue) cocktails. To make your very own Evil Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2 ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2 ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir, serve, and enjoy! BY KENNY KING Pride Staff Writer Not far from our campus is one of San Diego's gems, a Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant. Karl Strauss Brewing Company has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in Downtown San Diego, opened to the public on February 2,1989. In 1999, the company installed new brewery equipment, which more than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In addition, the company opened a new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight types of beer year-round. The Amber Lager was their featured beer while my friends and I were at the brewery. A few weeks ago a good friend of mine was turning 23, and my # friends and I were contemplating where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out ideas. Then, I looked down at the beer in my hand and read "Karl Strauss." I knew at that moment where we would be feasting that evening. Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination for a f un night out. Not only were we served delicious food, but we also had a variety of delicious beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening my memory was not functioning at f ull capacity, but there was one beer that stuck in my memory; it was the Amber Lager. This beer is copper in color with a slight sweetness that Cascade hops provide. It is a lager, so it is fermented at cold temperatures, which provides for a very smooth finish. The amber lager complements almost any food. We enjoyed an array of their appetizers, which were all delicious with the Amber Lager. The Amber Lager is Master Brewer Karl Strauss's favorite beer and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can find it almost everywhere locally in San Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have it on tap. Also, most grocery stores and Beverages and More carry it. But I recommend head- ing up to the brewery. If you are with your friends or on a date, it is good spot to have a good time and enjoy great beer.

"I was really interested in this movie initially because "of Sandra Bullock, and then I was interested in the movie because I read the script, and then I was interested in it because I had seen the director's first film, and I just thought it was wonderful." Jim Hanson is the loving husband of Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Together they have two darling daughters and live in a beautiful home. One day Linda receives news that Jim has died in a car crash. Yet, when she wakes up the next morning, Jim is alive and well. She dismisses what seemed like the previous day's events as a .nightmare. The next day, however, Linda awakens to find herself a widow. Somehow the natural progression of things has gone awry, and Linda is experiencing the days of one fateful week out of order. Commenting on the fragmented nature of the story, McMahon explained the filming process, "For me, because I come in and out of it consistently, I had to kind of monitor - say the movie goes over a week, I play Thursday before the movie's even got to it, and then later on, I'd come to the Tuesday after that. It was a little tricky, but the thing was it did span over a week so you could kind of contain it a little bit. It definitely posed its own challenges." McMahon clarified that his role in "Premonition" is indeed a departure f rom the roles he normally plays. "This is a very normal guy. He's a very Middle American family, Middle American values - j u s t a guy who loves his girlfriend, got married, had kids, had a family." McMahon, known for more larger-than-life roles - demon Cole Turner in the supernatural TV series "Charmed," Victor Von Doom in "Fantastic Four" (2005), and Dr. Christian Troy in the FX series "Nip/ Tuck" - revealed, ."I'm always attracted to something t hat's a little skewed," said I m a g e courtcsy of Sony pictures McMahon, "a little o ff, sometimes, you Julian McMahon and Sandra Bullock in "Premonition". know, extremely off.

Movie Review: BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix" set in the dreamlike cinematography of "Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist flying, sword wielding, historical adventure. Miller, who wrote the novel that became the film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City." "300" is based on the story of the Spartans of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors, standing up to the self proclaimed GodKing Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) of Persia in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) fame, directs "300" with a Bottom: A panel from Frank Miller's graphic novel "300". Top: The corresponding scene a s it appears in Warner Bros.

Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the screen with a booming voice and wicked fighting style.

The power and intensity ooze from the screen and the suspense is breathtaking. The film "300" is a comic book look at an actual historical event. The current Hollywood fad of taking a slice of history and creatively manipulating the plot for entertainment value is exemplary in this case. "300" fails to fall short in any category. It's a guarantee that fellow movie goers will clap and cheer for the heroic Spartans. The beauty of this movie is that you are left wishing for more. "Is it really over already?"

X V I I N O. 7 Historic Tukwut courtyard dedication BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, March 2, without a cloud in the sky, occasional cool breezes, and the sun shining warmly and brightly, the courtyard near Cougar Central was officially dedicated as Tukwut Courtyard. The beautiful day marked not only a new beginning, but also a continuation of Luiseno Tribal relations that began with the University's first class in 1990. Bonnie Biggs, professor emeritus and tribal liaison to Cal State San Marcos, said, 'Today represents the closing of the circle." She said that the University decided to honor the Luiseno people by seeking out a Native word to serve as an unofficial mascot After Tukwut, the Luiseno word for mountain lion, (pronounced "took-woot") was given to Cal State San Marcos, it was only used intermittently and inconsistently. "Today," Biggs continued, "the student leaders of2006 and 2007 also choose to honor the indigenous people of this land as evidenced by their successful advocacy to rename this courtyard." The dedication ceremony included a dedication prayer from Pauma Band Chairman Chris Devers, who also sang a traditional Luiseno song with his son, Chris Devers Jr. and nephew Gene Dixon.

One of the things that's different about law enforcement is, is that you need to have those qualities in your off duty life as well as your on duty life. This isn't a job where you come to work for eight hours." He added, "We call ourselves public Monday March 5, 2007, the CSUSM Writing Center begins offering assistance through online tutoring. The new program is available to all CSUSM students, and works similar to the in person appointments offered. Like all WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center is located in Kellogg 1103, and is open from Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I n response to the question, what inspired this program, the director of the writing center since 2005, Erin Goldin responded, "Many university writing centers already offer online tutoring. This campus is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to the writing center for tutoring. This way, busy students can still get help." Now easier than ever, asking for advice about any class paper is achievable in four simple steps through online tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer a few simple questions about the assignment like when is it due, what class is it for, and the instructions for the assignment. Next, attach your document, and wait for a response. Writing consultants suggest putting "as much information as possible in response to the questions when submitting online for optimum feedback." Most responses will take three to four business days depending on how busy the consultants are. Goldin still recommends making an appointment to come in whenever possible because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend thirty minutes. The more interaction there is, the more information and feedback the student receives." Students can make appointments online of walk-in anytime to check for available time slots. The center also offers workshops on a variety of different topics every Tuesday during university hour in University Hall? room 440.

Burning s age is a Luiseno tradition to protect the area and ward off evil spirits. Dixon also burned sage, a Luiseno tradition intended to protect the area and ward off evil spirits. Wayne Nelson and two others from the La Jolla Reservation also sang a traditional Luiseno song to commemorate the occasion. About ten Indian speakers spoke during the ceremony which around 100 students, faculty, administration and Luiseno people, including students from a nearby tribal charter school, attended. Each speaker was thankful for the acknowledg- ment and recognition extended to them by the renaming of the courtyard. Chris Devers said, "This is traditional Luiseno territory, and with the name ofthe Tukwut, I commend the student body for continuing to acknowledge that" Patty Duro, Rincon Band Member, said, "Ifs a pleasure to be here and to have our people and our language recognized here." Hunwut Turner, Rincon Band Member and Director of the Rincon Education Center, spoke specifically to the younger Indian students and current students of CSUSM saying, "When they do think about this courtyard, the Tukwut courtyard, they [should] say it loud and strong and proud, and that's what we should all be— proud to be Luiseno."

' I $M From WORKERS, page 1 . One group of students carpooled to a grassy hill on the corner of Manchester and Rancho Santa Fe in Encinitas. The other group of students arrived at the Home Depot on the corner of Luecadia and El Camino Real. At both sites, migrant workers are known to stand on the sidewalk and wait for strangers to hire them for work. Before the students left to meet the workers, A nne Skidmore of Intervarsity said, " They'll tell you about people who will hire them for work and t hey'll paint their house all day long and then t hey'll say, they don't pay us and will drop u s o ff." Skidmore encouraged the students to be open with the workers. " They're not u sedtd being treated well by the community. These guys have amazing stories. Most of them are open to share and t alk." . When the students l eft Commons, ASI's Director of Community Service Sherry Brideau loaded her white Honda with plastic bags f ull of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bananas, apple juice, orange j uice, nature valley bars and water. Brideau arrived at the Home Depot site with about 20 students to meet Intervarsity's Ramiro Marchena and the workers. But once the students parked and gathered, a security guard approached them. The security guard told Brideau that she would have to park her car across the street, in the Encinitas Ranch Town Center because her car contained the food for the workers. Once Brideau parked across the street, students met her t o carry the plastic bags f ull of food and the gallons of orange juice. In the time it took for students t o walk across the street, a Sheriff arrived at the Home Depot. The Sheriff had arrested one of the workers. If any of the men are to step beyond the unmarked line that separates the sidewalk f rom the parking lot, they could be immediately arrested. Marchena suggested that the students tell the Sheriff what they were h ere t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant workers, let them know that they were students f rom CSUSM and asked if they wanted anything to eat or d rink. One student said to a worker whom he had j ust given a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol." The man replied, "Poco English." At this, each young man shrugged and smiled. The Spanish speakers of the group were able t o hold longer conversations with the men, which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves said, "I thought it was really rewarding to come catch them o ff guard and they let u s in and told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little of what they were saying. They were really f un and easy t o talk to." One of the men told Spada that when a local bank across the street had been robbed, the police immediately questioned the men. Spada said that the man she was speaking to said, "They might have thought it looked like me but I would have never done something like that." Students also gave flyers to the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where their children could be tutored. The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach that holds Spanish masses. Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said, "They were saying that i t's tough to get a j ob— sometimes you get work, sometimes you don't. They come here for food; they're very impoverished. They cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and leave their families behind. So many people blame migrants for coming here j ust for the benefits. But how can they [get] benefits like health care, if citizens can't even get i t?" Carillo added, " In reality they are people who want t o help." I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most students had enough time t o talk with the men, the border patrol showed u p for the man who had been arrested. Some of the men, however, sprinted into the street in spite of the opposing t raffic t o avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said, "One particular thing that stood out t o me is that as the men saw the other guy being arrested and they were telling me that it made them angry because the action of one guy reflects on the others." Ramirez added, "I asked them if they were treated well, and they said for the most p art it is very p eaceful except when the minute men are there. The minute men t ry t o pull them over a certain line so that they will get arrested. They also told me that there was one time where three gangsters came and stole their valuables, and the security guard did nothing." The event itself inspired ASI and Intervarsity t o recruit more students t o serve these men more o ften. Marchena said, "There's a Catholic organization t hatreaches out t o migrant workers and the homeless. We need t o see how we can fit in with t hem— how we can do this more consistently, at least once a month.

A nd then it impacts us." Briedeau said, "Community service in general is very important because it enhances you as a person, and your college experience. You are putting yourself aside and serving others, which we tend to forget in today's society." R amirez a dded, " I loved participating in t his event b ecause their stories are a mazing.

They begin with looking at the overall goals ofthe paper, and not so much on sentence structure and spelling errors. The website states, "Our goal is to help you become a better writer, and we try to focus our sessions on tools or strategies that will help you on future papers." Usually they address the larger issues in a paper, such as the thesis and whether or not the student has met the requirements of the teacher's prompt. Although, from time to time, they mention things like, are you sure this is a complete sentence?" Goldin said. "Rather than making the correction for the student, students still do the work, but receive help through feedback." Consultants are ready and waiting for a positive response to the new program. Goldin shares, "We expect the pace to pick up once people get used to the idea." Goldin and others in the writing center spent the last six months researching what other online tutoring services are like, in order to develop the best program suited for CSUSM California Lottery grants provide the grant funding that makes this program available. From TUKWUT, page 1 come in Luiseno. President Haynes, in addition to supporting the renaming of Tukwut Courtyard, has also formed the Native Advisory Council, one of only two throughout the Cal State University system. President Haynes said, "Today, thanks to our student leadership, and continued help and assistance from our neighbor elders, we are ready to commit this naming gift to a permanent name for a special part of our student life, our newly named Tukwut Courtyard." President Haynes also spoke of plans to raise funds to build a memorial statue in the courtyard. "The memorial will demonstrate the proud impact and influence the Luiseno people have had on this From CHIEF, page 1 servants. We really are." Chief Hackenberg said, "In the 30 years that I've been in this profession, things have really changed. Officers find they must serve the communities they are in. In no place is that more important than a university campus. We truly are a community." Chief Hackenberg came to CSUSM from San Jose State University where he was the Special Operations Lieutenant. For 25 years, Chief Hackenberg worked for the Pennsylvania State Police Department. In all its history, he was the youngest person to be promoted University," Haynes said. Roy Lee, president of Associated Students Inc., wore a shirt that said "With the mind of a Tukwut and heartofaCougar."When addressing the audience he said, "It is a beautiful day, not just the weather, but a beautiful day to be able to reclaim ourselves as not just a Cougar, but a Tukwut." He urged those listening to contemplate the meaning of being a Tukwut for themselves. The naming of the courtyard marks the first permanent presence of Tukwut at CSUSM. Lee said, "Tukwut is here, and it is not going away." About the ceremony, Biggs said, "It was a wonderful day for Luiseno people and for the university— one I will hold in my heart forever."

Chief Hackenberg also noted how he is looking forward to fitting into CSUSM's strategic plan and how the crucial goal of matching the University's growth would be the best service Chief Hackenberg and his team could provide. Chief Hackenberg also stated that one of the first things he is looking to do is to sit down with everyone in the department and listen to their own personal goals and objectives.

When three young Americans (Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Lauren Poole) equipped with a camera, sought out for excitement in Africa— the only excitement they found were the sounds of children being captured during the night, and forced into the life of a child soldier. According to Jason, Bobby and Lauren, this nightmare was not their initial idea of a filmmaking adventure, but the three friends found themselves "stranded in Northern Uganda" and dedicated their time in there to "exposing this tragic and amazingly untold story." Whilst the majority of 8 year-olds in the United States are gluing macaroni to a piece of construction paper and sprinkling glitter across the page, children as young as 8 in Uganda are systematically being kidnapped from their homes by a rebel group called the "Lord's Resistance Army"(LRA). A gun or rifle replaces what should be a book or a pen, and according to the website, the children are "then desensitized to the horror of brutal violence and killing, as they themselves are turned into vicious fighters." A few number of children are able to escape, however, the majority of the children [m/lÚblt remain in LRA for the remainder of their lives, only experiencing life through fighting in guerilla warfare. The film "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," follows what the community has named "night commuters" as children "commute" during the night, from their villages to different towns in fear of being kidnapped. The film concentrates on 4 boys: Jacob, Thomas, Tony, and Boni, according the website, "through their eyes, we relive the terror of abduction, courage of survival, the heartbreak of losing a brother, and the innate joy— found only in a child." Because of their time in Uganda, the filmmakers decided to share this film and "inspire others, as it did them"; thus began the movement that is called Invisible Children. Due to the LRA, 250,000 boys and girls receive no education in Northern Uganda; only 30% of the schools are still functioning, but are overcrowded. Invisible Children offers a program called "The Education Program," where "Visible Child Scholarship provides fullride scholarships and full-time Ugandan mentors for war-affected children." In the ICEP (Invisible Children Education Program), each child is provided with a mentor who aids the child not solely for academic reasons, but to provide "careeroriented guidance, encourage success, and foster leadership success." There are currently 436 ICEP scholarship beneficiaries and 15 mentors. The "Schools for Schools" is a program that is much more like a competition, for schools across the United States to raise money to help build schools in Northern Uganda. Schools are urged to come up with different fund-raising ideas and compete with other schools for the grand prize - a trip to Uganda to help build a school with the money that was raised. According to the website, "the entire area of Northern Uganda has been ravaged by this 20-year-long war. Roughly 95% of the people in Northern Ugandan districts forced to evacuate their homes are now living in camps, earning no monetary income, and living in absolute poverty." Invisible Children also started the "Bracelet Campaign," which allows Famous scientist Carl Sagan once said, "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." Cal State San Marcos requires students to know at least a little about technology. It is called the computer competency requirement, and all baccalaureate students, irrespective of major, must fulfill this requirement before their third semester here at San Marcos or their records will be placed on hold, and they will be unable to register. The computer competency requirement, or CCR, can now be fulfilled in a couple of ways: either by taking a class that satisfies the requirement, or by taking the test. However, beginning in Fall 2008, classes will no longer be an acceptable means of satisfying the requirement. Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator, said, "This was a policy change approved by the Faculty Senate on the recommendation of the General Education Committee's Computer Competency Requirement subcommittee." The CCR website goes into more detail about the test, which classes satisfy the requirement, and provides study material and the exam schedule. It can be found here: www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. The CCR test is divided into four different sections: computer ethics, the Internet, basic word processing proficiency, and basic spreadsheet concepts proficiency. The computer ethics section tests individuals' understanding of software copyright, Northern Ugandans living in camps a way to earn money. The bracelets are hand-made from reed and recycled wire, and sold in the United States; the money that is raised from the campaign goes back into the Invisible Children Education Program. These programs function in a self-supporting manner and support themselves because of the numerous movements that have been set up to support each other and raise awareness to help the people of Northern Uganda in their struggle to survive.

The Internet section tests students on using the Internet to obtain information. The word processing proficiency section discovers if students can use basic features within Microsoft Word. The spreadsheet section tests students on using basic features in Microsoft Excel. Students may take the CCR test as many times as it takes to pass it. Atkins said, "There is no penalty for taking the exam multiple times." The exam itself can take anywhere from 2-3 hours. Students may take the exam on Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in University Hall room 273, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 or 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 or 2:30 p.m. (respectively) in Academic Hall room 202. Students need to bring a picture ID, a print/copy card with approximately $2 on it and something to write with. Print/copy cards are available to purchase in Kellogg Library. There is no time limit on the test, and there is no need for students to complete all four sections at the same time. Students must score 75% or better to pass the test. The sections are graded separately, that way if a student fails one section, he or she needs only to retake that section, instead of the entire test. No appointment is needed. Scores are posted on SMART Web within each student's profile.

With a record tying 25 trades at the deadline involving 44 players and 26 draft picks being exchanged between 27 of the 30 NHL teams. The trade deadline also makes the playoff picture become clearer. With six teams in the Eastern Conference pretty much guaranteed in the playoffs come April, four of them were active at the deadline. The Eastern Conference leader, Buffalo Sabres traded backup goalie Martin Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers, putting the weight on 2nd year goalie Ryan Miller to carry the remaining load and team through the playoffs. The Sabres also acquired Danius Zubrus from the Washington Capitals in a move that gives the team depth to a long list of injured forwards. The Southeast Division leader, Tampa Bay Lightning made several silent moves acquiring Shane O'Brien, Jason Ward and Karl Stewart. These additions give Tampa Bay depth in their defense and much needed toughness. The Pittsburgh Penguins added veteran Gary Roberts from Florida, which will give this young team a talented veteran forward who will be able impact the team's top two lines. The Penguins also acquired tough guy Georges Laroque from the Phoenix Coyotes. Laroque adds lots of toughness to the team that needs to protect their young sensations in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Stall. The Atlanta Thrashers made a bold move acquiring veteran forward Keith Tkachuk in hopes to rejuvenate a struggling offense. Tkachuk will give the Thrashers another talented player who will join a team that already has a list of great players. With only two spots remaining out of the eight-playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, these four teams made adjustments in hopes of giving their team the advantage over the other. The New York Islanders brought a shock to the hockey world as they received Edmonton Oilers fan favorite, Ryan Smyth. Smyth gave the Oiler fans a tearful goodbye, which brought flashbacks to 1988 in Edmonton, when the Oilers traded the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, to LA. This move gives the Islanders the upper hand over the other three teams. The defending Stanley Cup Champions, Carolina Hurricanes added Anson Carter in hopes of Carter regaining the 33-goal touch that he had the previous season in Vancouver. The Toronto Maple Leafs added center Yanic Perreault to the team who will provide a gritty, strong face-off man. The last team in the race would be the Montreal Canadians who appeared to pull themselves out of the race as they traded veteran defensemen Josh Gorges for a d raft pick and a prospective player who cojild help the team later down the road when he makes the pros. In the Western Conference, the Nashville Predators acquired Flyers captain Peter Forsberg. Forsberg was looked at as the biggest name on the market at the deadline, and it cost the Predators two young talented prospects and a first and third round pick. Forsberg finishes the miss- ing pieces needed in the Nashville lineup, as they were looking for a talented forward who could make an impact on their team, and Forsberg should do that as long as he stays healthy. Not far behind the Predators in the standings is the Detroit Red Wings who acquired Todd Bertuzzi from the Florida Panthers. Bertuzzi is currently hurt but should be joining the Red Wings prior to the playoffs. Bertuzzi could give the Red Wings that extra edge in a playoff series with his scoring and playmaking ability. The San Jose Sharks added veteran forward Bill Guerin from the St. Louis Blues. Guerin gives the Sharks another scorer who should fit right in with last years MVP Joe Thornton. The Blues gained three prospects, two first round picks, and one second and third round pick by trading both Tkachuk and Guerin. And if both these players return to St. Louis at the end of the season, St. Louis will be looking at this deadline as a great way to rebuilding a team that once made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs 25 times in a row. The Dallas Stars were able to add long time Kings captain Mattis Norstrom. Norstrom give the Stars a talented veteran blue liner who has great leadership. Also added prior to the deadline was forward Ladislav Nagy. Nagy could be a great pick for the Stars if Nagy can regain the scoring capability he had in past seasons. The biggest shock of them all was how the Pacific Division leader, Anaheim Ducks failed to acquire a steady defense and a big named forward for the Cory Perry and Ryan Getzlaf line. The Ducks failure to acquire a big name player allows the other Western Conference teams to strengthen themselves and better prepare themselves for when they face the Ducks in the playoffs. For the teams that knew they were going to the playoffs, they choose to buy while those who were already out decided to sell their players for their futures. There can only be one Stanley Cup Champion, which means 29 losers who will be rebuilding for next year. One thing is for sure; it is anyone's game. m ake i nformed, h ealthy c onfident c hoices Itium 277 S.

Luckily enough my destination, The Oliver St. John Gogarty hostel, was situated in the Temple Bar - one of the most celebrated (or detested) and pub congested areas of Dublin. Temple Bar is truly a sight to wander into. It is an area of narrow, cobblestone streets, packed with people virtually twenty four hours a day, albeit mostly of the tourist variety. It is not just a festival of pubs, there are eating establishments aplenty, and it is f ull of art galleries, theatres and children's entertainment. It is easy to find, lying between the Bank of Ireland and Decades ago, James Joyce Christ Church Cathedral, and wrote that "A good puzzle, would it has a very energetic, friendly be to cross Dublin without pass- atmosphere.

Starting out from Temple Bar, the heavily trafficked Ha'Penny Bridge takes you across the river Liffey to the bustling shopping areas streets of the north, and O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare. O'Connell St. is a busy street lined with department stores, magnificent statues and, if you are feeling too lazy to walk, you can grab a local bus or sightseeing tour. However, my suggestion is that you walk, walk, and walk! Dublin is a very compact city and you can reach many attractions by foot. One place that is worth a visit, on, is Trinity College. The illuminated manuscript "Book of Kells" is housed here, and is truly breathtaking, as is the extensive library. Ireland is famous for its contributions to literature: indeed both the Dublin writers and James Joyce Museums are superb. How- i ever, as a big Oscar 1 Wilde fan, I was keen A to see the Wilde house. The house itself is part of the American College of Dublin campus and it is an interesting, if small, exhibit.

It was a big exhibition with an even bigger merchandise section, yet the highlight was definitely having a complimentary pint in the pub at the top of the factory. The pub has a panoramic view of the city and serves only two drinks'normaP Guinness (room temperature) and cold Guinness. It would have been easy to spend a lot of time at the storehouse, but I still had a lot I wanted to see: Dublin Castle, Dublinia the Viking exhibition and the infamous Kilmainham Gaol. These are all excellent places to visit in that you can learn a great deal about Irish culture, both ancient and more contemporary. Dublin is a great place to visit and, due to it being compact, even a short visit will not disappoint. Do. not wait to visit this part of Ireland, it is changing a lot.

Here is the situation first. Vladimir Radmanovic of the Los Angeles Lakers is making 5.2 million dollars this season. He loves to snowboard, which can be a dangerous sport. So the Lakers put it into his contract that he isn't allowed to snowboard while under contract with the team. Turns out, the Lakers were right about Radmanovic because he separated his shoulder while snowboarding during the all-star break. He initially lied about it, because he knew he would face punishment if the team found out. Shortly after living the lie he made like George Washington and told the Lakers what happened. They quickly answered back with a 500,000 dollar fine because he violated his contract and will miss two months. My question, is it right for the Lakers to say he can't do a certain thing that he's passionate about? I mean, in what other industry do you see it written into a contract that you aren't allowed to do certain types of extra curricular activities? Radmanovic could've just as easily separated his shoulder taking the trash to the bottom of the driveway. I know the team is just trying to cover its butt from having to pay an injured player who (August 22 - September c a œ isn't contributing to a team, but what's 500,000 thousand to a multi-million dollar franchise. It may seem a lot to you and me, but Lakers owner Jerry Buss cleans his hands with 100 dollar bills. It gets to the point where athletes are no longer looked at as regular human beings because they make millions of dollars. I for one know that when I'm a millionaire one day I'm still probably going to be the same goofball that I am now and will partake in the same activities that I do now. What if someone told you that you couldn't do one of your favorite activities anymore? I can just imagine someone telling me one day that I shouldn't play basketball anymore because I may sprain a wrist and wouldn't be able to type. The way that I look at it is that you make your own decisions and you should live with them. You may think Radmanovic is stupid for snowboarding when he was specifically told not to, but I think he's bad and not bad as in bad, but bad as in good. He is living his life, doing the things that he wants to do. Here's another question for you? Would you have lied like Radmanovic originally did or would you have come clean right away like he eventually did? I don't know what I would do. It's-hard to say unless you're in the actual situation, but I have a feeling I probably would have done what he did. I know most people think the exact opposite of what I've said so far, but I commend Radmanovic. His soul can't be completely bought just because he can shoot a basketball. Apparently, he's one of those rare athletes who is still human. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.

Beer of the Week Karl Strauss Amber Lager BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer "Evil Blue Thing," my friend said as I resumed my seat next to her at the bar. "Yeah, but what's it called," I responded, pointing to the brilliant blue libation in her hand. She j ust giggled, and I realized that The Evil Blue Thing was already working its malevolent magic. The beverage seemed to glow with impish potential. Sinfully sweet, but not saccharinely so, the Evil Blue Thing goes down smooth, feels warm and creamy on the tongue, and leaves a pleasant aftertaste in one's mouth. Like many mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts of alcohol, so the Evil Blue Thing can easily live up to its name if the drinker is innocent and allows him or herself to get tricked by the Thing's wicked charms. That said, the Evil Blue Thing can be a pleasurable companion if one is savvy and enjoys sweet (shocking blue) cocktails. To make your very own Evil Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2 ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2 ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir, serve, and enjoy! BY KENNY KING Pride Staff Writer Not far from our campus is one of San Diego's gems, a Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant. Karl Strauss Brewing Company has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in Downtown San Diego, opened to the public on February 2,1989. In 1999, the company installed new brewery equipment, which more than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In addition, the company opened a new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight types of beer year-round. The Amber Lager was their featured beer while my friends and I were at the brewery. A few weeks ago a good friend of mine was turning 23, and my # friends and I were contemplating where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out ideas. Then, I looked down at the beer in my hand and read "Karl Strauss." I knew at that moment where we would be feasting that evening. Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination for a f un night out. Not only were we served delicious food, but we also had a variety of delicious beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening my memory was not functioning at f ull capacity, but there was one beer that stuck in my memory; it was the Amber Lager. This beer is copper in color with a slight sweetness that Cascade hops provide. It is a lager, so it is fermented at cold temperatures, which provides for a very smooth finish. The amber lager complements almost any food. We enjoyed an array of their appetizers, which were all delicious with the Amber Lager. The Amber Lager is Master Brewer Karl Strauss's favorite beer and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can find it almost everywhere locally in San Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have it on tap. Also, most grocery stores and Beverages and More carry it. But I recommend head- ing up to the brewery. If you are with your friends or on a date, it is good spot to have a good time and enjoy great beer.

"I was really interested in this movie initially because "of Sandra Bullock, and then I was interested in the movie because I read the script, and then I was interested in it because I had seen the director's first film, and I just thought it was wonderful." Jim Hanson is the loving husband of Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Together they have two darling daughters and live in a beautiful home. One day Linda receives news that Jim has died in a car crash. Yet, when she wakes up the next morning, Jim is alive and well. She dismisses what seemed like the previous day's events as a .nightmare. The next day, however, Linda awakens to find herself a widow. Somehow the natural progression of things has gone awry, and Linda is experiencing the days of one fateful week out of order. Commenting on the fragmented nature of the story, McMahon explained the filming process, "For me, because I come in and out of it consistently, I had to kind of monitor - say the movie goes over a week, I play Thursday before the movie's even got to it, and then later on, I'd come to the Tuesday after that. It was a little tricky, but the thing was it did span over a week so you could kind of contain it a little bit. It definitely posed its own challenges." McMahon clarified that his role in "Premonition" is indeed a departure f rom the roles he normally plays. "This is a very normal guy. He's a very Middle American family, Middle American values - j u s t a guy who loves his girlfriend, got married, had kids, had a family." McMahon, known for more larger-than-life roles - demon Cole Turner in the supernatural TV series "Charmed," Victor Von Doom in "Fantastic Four" (2005), and Dr. Christian Troy in the FX series "Nip/ Tuck" - revealed, ."I'm always attracted to something t hat's a little skewed," said I m a g e courtcsy of Sony pictures McMahon, "a little o ff, sometimes, you Julian McMahon and Sandra Bullock in "Premonition". know, extremely off.

Movie Review: BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix" set in the dreamlike cinematography of "Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist flying, sword wielding, historical adventure. Miller, who wrote the novel that became the film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City." "300" is based on the story of the Spartans of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors, standing up to the self proclaimed GodKing Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) of Persia in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) fame, directs "300" with a Bottom: A panel from Frank Miller's graphic novel "300". Top: The corresponding scene a s it appears in Warner Bros.

Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the screen with a booming voice and wicked fighting style. His wife, Queen Gorgo (Lena Heady), is an equal partner to her sure hand, telling a rock solid tale of honor king. She is loyal to the cause of her people and valor in a time of desperation.

The Persians hide behind bizarre masks while the Spartans are in the traditional crimson and armor of their culture. This film is a new fresh way to tell a tale. The power and intensity ooze from the screen and the suspense is breathtaking. The film "300" is a comic book look at an actual historical event. The current Hollywood fad of taking a slice of history and creatively manipulating the plot for entertainment value is exemplary in this case. "300" fails to fall short in any category. It's a guarantee that fellow movie goers will clap and cheer for the heroic Spartans. The beauty of this movie is that you are left wishing for more. "Is it really over already?"

As a result, undergraduate students will pay $252 more. Student fees increased by 14% in the 2004-05 academic year. In the 2005-06 academic year, fees increased by 8%. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger provided an additional $54.4 million for the 20062007 academic year in order to eliminate the 8% increase that was originally proposed by the Chancellor Reed and the Board of Trustees. For years, the CSU system of higher education has been looked to an example of quality education at an affordable price. With 23 campuses, the CSU is made up of 417,000 students and 46,000 faculty and staff members. It began in 1961 and annually, 84,000 students obtain degrees from the CSU. In 2004, Chancellor Reed cut the budget by $11 million.

The program includes advanced historical studies with media and technology skills as applied to the research, presentation, and preservation of history. The original deadline for the Fall 2007 semester was March 15th. However the deadline has been extended to April 23rd. Students in the history program will be required to take courses in four categories. These categories are historiography and the philosophy of history, thematic historical topics in specific world areas, critical historical media studies, and media and technology skills as applied to historical research, writing, presentation, and teaching. Students entering the program must meet all admission requirements for the Department" of History and CSUSM requirements for graduate study. In addition, the program requires a Bachelor's degree from a university i n history or in a related field with at least four upper-division courses in history. The program mandates the completion of History 301 or an equivalent. S eeGRAD, p age2 S tudents t o s upport faculty strike BY KELLY CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Issues such as the increase in student fees, lack of professors and class availability are telling of the CSU's current condition. These issues shadow the future California Faculty Association strike against the CSU and now Angela Stubbs, President of CSU Students for Quality Education, is letting students know what they can do about it, in what she calls, "Our Professor's Campaign." Stubbs, a CSUSM student held a meeting for students on Thursday, March 15 in Markstein Hall. CSU Students for Quality Education is a coalition led by students on every CSU campus to promote the well being of the CSU. The meeting drew about 50 students and aimed to educate See STUDENT, page 3 �««Ml T HE (^PRIDE KA «( N i v sn m a £a wTTiit ) ifiSï ttfj! astry fiAVttì ÜMWf ' gpgj P I EA 5C UME U | RD _ D$ S 5 J D ; From FEES, page 1 or have gone on to work outside of the CSU. From October 2005 to January 2007, CSU Presidents, combined, received a total salary raise of $919,270. All CSU Presidents receive compensation that includes housing, car and salary fees. From July 2005 to July 2006, CSU Presidents, combined, received a 21% compensation increase, totaling $1,312,982. Chair of the CSU Board of Trustees Roberta Achtenberg, said, "Student fees are part of the overall revenue mix that is needed to sustain our outstanding university system. The CSU receives its revenues basically from state General Funds and fee revenues. Currently, employee compensation for all employees accounts for 74 percent of the expenditure budget. The trustees are committed to bringing all salaries up to market rate in order to remain competitive. We cannot move forward on this effort without either a larger portion of the state General Fund or an increase in student fees." Dennis Armstrong of the CSU stated, "The Governor's budget assumes $174.5 million from the state General Fund and $123 million in fee revenue, based on a 10 percent increase in student fees and fee revenue associated with a 2.5 percent enrollment growth." Armstrong added, "To eliminate the fee increase, the legislature and Governor would need to provide an additional $65.2 million of state general fund revenue. If any portion of the fees are 'bought out,' the CSU Board of Trustees would rescind that portion of the fee increase," said Armstrong. history program also requires two sets of official transcripts, three letters of recommendation, a 750-word statement, and a formal writing example. The history program marks a significant step in CSUSM's history. With the arrival of this new program CSUSM becomes even more distinguished and unique for current and future Cougars. The program will be the first master's degree combining history and media in the country. The program will also be the only program outside of the east cost offering these specific studies. "Students pursuing CSUSM's Master of Arts in History will not only master a specific historical field but also acquire skills in new media and technology. Our degree allows students to tailor their coursework to their individual historical interests and technological needs.

It was noted that since 2002, Chancellor Reed and the Board of Trustees have raised student fees by 76%. The administration has plans to increase the fees by 10% through 2010. It was also noted that 10% of the CSU budget comes from fee increases and that 80% of the budget comes from the state. This information proved that the increases in student fees do not affect the salary budget for faculty. Although some believe that the increases in student fees add to faculty salaries, the two are unrelated. Student fees, students learned at the meeting, will increase by 91% in the nextfiveyears. Dr. Linda Pershing of the Women's Studies department discussed how the department has seen only one new professor since 2001. Dr. Pershing mentioned that the Women's Studies department will lose one more professor this spring as a result of California's cost of living and the inadequate pay. "We're losing people," Dr. Pershing said. "We can't attract new faculty." Stubbs added, "It does affect us. If teachers don't want to work for the CSU, classes will be cancelled." Stubbs emphasized that students are here to learn from professors who want to be a part of the CSU as much as students do. "60% of Cal State professors come from the CSU," Stubbs said. Upon learning that the CFA will go orf strike before the end of the semester, one student asked Stubbs, "How do we show support?" Stubbs replied, "We're not standing behind them. We're standing beside them. Sign a commitment card. Pledge to support the two day rolling strike and not cross the picket line." Evelyn Henriquez, a member of ASI's President's Cabinet, discussed. ASI's neutral position on the CFA strike. Henriquez mentioned how ASI's Board of Directors did not ask the President's Cabinet for their stance on the strike. "So they've basically silenced a vast majority of students who have power," said Henriquez. Upon hearing this, a student "We're not standing behind them. We're standing beside them." -Angela Stubbs President of CSUSQE from the crowd asked, "Is there any way to overturn this vote on ASI?" Henriquez and Stubbs agreed that there wasn't any way to overturn the strike. "On other campuses, ASI is supportive," Stubbs said. "But some are taking a neutral stance." During ASI's March 5 meeting, Vice President of External Affairs, Jeremy Mills stated ASI's resolution on the CFA and the CSU collective bargaining. Mills said, "Basically, we are taking the stance that students have no place in the collective bargaining process. There's no way for us to truly know what's going on in the collective bargaining process because they do have closed session meetings and the only information we get is when either side walks out of that meeting and spins it and so it's very hard for us to get away from the emotional pleas and get down to the nitty-gritty of what the business is all about. And so basically we're saying that we understand that [faculty] is trying to get a contract negotiation, we understand that it's going to start possibly affecting our student constituency groups. We think that [faculty] should get paid a fair and equitable rate." Mills added, "Not necessarily us on this campus so much, but on other campuses, [students] have been extremely pulled in both directions by their administration and their CFA because for both sides if they get the students on their side, they have a stronger likelihood of getting what they want. We're basically saying we're taking a position of that we don't have a position because there's no way we could have one because it's too complex for us to process." Regarding the time in which students will learn of the strike taking place, one student asked, "How much heads up will we have?" Stubbs replied, "You might have a week, you might have a day before." Regarding Chancellor Reed, another student asked, "How will this affect him?" Stubbs explained that the strike on Twin Oaks Valley Road would generate media attention, immediately resulting in politicians enforcing change. Each campus will sporadically participate in two day rolling strikes until a negotiation is reached. The strikes will not occur in the same two days. One student asked, "Why not do all the strike in two days?" An SQUE representative from CSULA answered, "Then he knows we've done it already, and it gives the other campuses the chance to see who's on strike." dent for being I minor in procession I H of alcohol io Lot N- The non-studentmm l i i l l issued a citation. • -v- Bujfglary ..'

Track Team Looks Great at Occidental Distance Classic March 16, 2007. It was another strong performance for the Cougar track team on Friday, as the squad qualified six more athletes for Nationals at the Occidental Distance Classic. On the men's side, three Cougars earned their trip to the Nationals Championships. They're the first CSUSM men to qualify since the 2005 season. Leading the way was Juan Mejia. The cross country star competed in his first 10k run of the track season, and certainly did not disappoint. He finished 2nd, posting a time of 31:0X08. Two 5,000-meter runners qualified as well for the men. Sergio Gonzalez posted a time of 14:58.70, and Mike Crouch ran 15:11.16. They finished 3rd and 5th, respectively. Finally, though Tony Guadagnini didn't qualify for Nationals, he gave a strong performance in the 1,500m,finishing5th with a time of3:57.83. Not to be outdone, three women qualified for Nationals as well on Friday. Morgan Sjogren, Emily Jones, and Whitney Patton all ran great times and will join the numerous Cougar women who have already earned their way to the Championships thus far. Competing in the 10k, Patton was tremendous. She won the meet easily, and her time of 37:44.20 was over a minute better than the top qualifying standard. Meanwhile, Patton and Jones competed in the steeplechase andfinishedfirstand second, respectively. Patton ran 11:22.24, and Jones finished right behind her with an 11:24.64. Baseball Blasts Central Christian in Double-Header March 17, 2007. Central Christian College came to San Marcos all the way from Kansas, but the Cougars proved to be unkind hosts, sweeping them in a double-header Saturday, > CSUSM came out swinging i n game one, winning4 17 6 M 7 innings; After spotting Central Christian a run in the top of the first, the Cougars exploded for their best offensive inning of the season m the bottom of the frame. Things started slow with a leadoff groundout a routine ball t o the shortstop, but an error allowed the runner to reach. CSUSM would capitalize in a big way, as Scott Shapiro knocked in the firstrun with a single* Austin Way followed that up with an RBI base hit of his own to make the score 2-0, Then Central Christian starter Greg Daugherty began to struggle, hitting Terry Moritz with a pitch to load the bases. After a pop-out, Ian Chatfield was hit by a pitch to push across a run, and Jason Hinton walked to plate another. The next run came across when Ricardo Moran was hit by a pitch. Tristan Gale then delivered a two-RBI double, knocking Daugherty out of the game. But the Cougars weren't done, as Shapiro walked, and Way delivered his second hit of the inning - this time a double that scored two more. When the dust settled, the Cougars led 10-1. CSUSM made it 134 i n the 3rd, as Gale and Way were knocked in by a Moritz groundout and Spencer Pardon single. three solid inning but hit the wall in the fourth, He was greeted with á double and a single, and after á f é^ wild pitches and a walk, a Jacob Morales dpúble madé the game 13-6 and chased Skaalén from the game. Reliever Jeff Stephenson was able t o escape the inning w ithoutfurther damage, and pitched a scoreless 5th to pick up the eventual win* /. t fie Cougar bullpen in general was very effective* as Stephenson gave way to Erie Julienne, who didn't allow a hit in his one inning of work, He has not allowed an earned run in his last 9 1/3 innings of work. Grant Harrell then pitched a perfect 7th to close out the game. Game two wasn't quite as flashy, but CSUSM picked up the win nonetheless by a 6-2 score. Yet again the Cougars got off to a huge start, this time scoring 6 in the first inning off Central Christian starter Sean Faulkner. Speedy Jason Hinton got the ball rolling with a leadoff single and was drove hoine by a one-out Tristan Gale triple, Shapiro was hit by a pitch for the third time on the day, and Austin Way doubled home another run. Adam Ricciardulli then plated two with a single. After an out, Cory Ventura drove in toother with a double, and Match M c N ^ m capped off the scoring with a base h it While the 6-run first was great* it would b e alltitieoffense CSUSM would generate the Wiming game.

The Cougar bullpen continued to shine as well, shutting down the opposing lineup to close out the game. Lance McCormick struck out two in pitching a scoreless sixth, while David Julio allowed the first two batters to reach base before striking out the side to end the contest. Overall, it was a very successful day for Cougar baseball The young squad's record is now 9-14 on the year, and they appear to be settling in to playing at San Marcos High. The team will hope to carry that over to Mission Bay High on Tuesday though, where they'll take on Westmont Mid-Season report on Cougar Baseball and Softball Photos courtesy of Cory Scoggin / www.scoggart.com BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer This first ever season of the baseball and softball programs at CSUSM are showing promise of a bright future. Head coaches Jennifer Milo, softball, and Dennis Pugh, baseball, are both encouraged by the growth of their teams. At inception, success in terms of wins is not a true indicator of potential. Both squads have improved on thefieldas this year has progressed. Cougar baseball had a terrific showing in the PLNU Spring Classic earlier this month, and the softball team has been hanging tough lately, picking up a couple wins and enduring some close losses in the past seven games. CSUSM softball picked up an early win against then #10 Concordia, but Coach Milo knew it would not be so easy. As of March 16, their record stood at 3-15. The Cougars have lost three games by one run in the last couple of weeks and have been highly competitive as the season wears on. Coach Milo stated, "At the midway point I'd hoped the won/loss record would be a little better but we're happy. After a rocky beginning with a lot of youth on defense, this team is playing much better right now." Following a hard fought game on Saturday March 10, when the Cougars lost at Division 1 opponent and local college USD, Coach Milo exclaimed, "Against a D1 opponent, we were the better team on the field." The Cougars lost that game 4-3 after leading 3-0 late in the game. Earlier this year, USD handed CSUSM an 8-0 mercy rule loss. The goal of this team in its inaugural season is to show improvement, and it has. Some pleasant surprises for the Cougar softball team are Freshmen Erica Coehlo and Elizabeth Bush. Coehlo, labeled "Miss Versatile" by Coach Milo, is hitting .306 and is third on the team in runs scored with 7. "Her main duty coming in was as a pitcher, but she can play anywhere," said Coach Milo. Elizabeth Bush is batting a robust .353 on a team that hits .239 collectively. Bush leads the team with 11 runs scored, and is tied for second in RBI with 8. The Cougar baseball team has not only grown as a unit, the results have translated into victories in the past month. After an 0-7 start, the Cougars have gone 7-7. "I feel great, the team is playing much better, but we have a lot of catching up to do," said Coach Pugh. The PLNU Spring Classic, held March 5 through 8, finished with the Cougars going 3-1. Coach Pugh stated, "We played better teams to start the season." And while they have played well against lesser competition as of late, Pugh is "looking forward to how we rebound. Over the next six or seven weeks we have a lot of tougher games. I'm excited to see how we play against them the second time around." The offense of the Cougars is the strong point, and the young pitching staff is getting more comfortable as the season progresses. SR Scott Shapiro leads the team in RBI with 19 and is batting .329. Tristan Gale is leading the team with a .347 average as a junior. Palomar CC transfer, junior Terry Moritz has been solid, hitting .324 and is tied with Shapiro and Gale for the team lead in HR with 4. As to the recent success Coach Pugh responded, "The kids are getting along. I'm really happy with their progression." Along with the 77 record the past month the Cougars have only lost one game by more than 3 runs in that span. This team is in just about every game, and with a few key hits or a couple defensive plays late in games, they could have a much better record. Coach Pugh encouraged, "Get away from the won/loss record." As for the future of this program, Coach Pugh is very optimistic saying that "recruiting is going well, but it would really help if we had our own facility." The two programs are moving in the right direction. Both head coaches have local area roots enabling them to bring in some talented kids. Getting through this first year of growing pains is a learning experience for coaches and players alike. With a year under their belt, the youth of these teams will continue to gel, while incoming talent will serve to make them a formidable match-up against anybody.

On Tuesday, March 13, Viacom, the mutli-billion dollar media corporation that houses MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Dream Works and Paramount Pictures, filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Google Inc., and its trendy video hosting website, YouTube. The purpose of the billion-dollar suit, one might ask? Viacom claims YouTube is in violation of extensive copyright infringement by hosting Unauthorized and copyrighted entertainment clips; and not only that, but also that YouTube is in violation at least 160,000 times. Additionally, since the claim was filed, Viacom has cited upwards of 50,000 more clips that fall into the same category. Plus, of the initial 160,000 clips, Viacom estimates that the clips have been viewed at least 1.5 billion times. The lawsuit, which was handed over just six weeks after Viacom requested for YouTube to take off at least 100,000 of the unauthorized clips, was filed in the U.S. District Court in New York. To date, the swelling opposition between YouTube and Viacom is the largest altercation between a key media corporation and the broadly wellliked video site purchased by Google last November for $1.65 billion. "Over the past decade, the emergence of broadband networks, Internet protocol a nd' inexpensive wireless networks has revolutionized the way Americans inform and entertain themselves," began the complaint issued by Viacom. "Entrepreneurs have made fortunes providing the networks, the tools and the creative works that have fueled this revolution. But these same innovations have also been misused to fuel an explosion of copyright infringement by exploiting the inexpensive duplication and distribution made possible by digital technology." The complaint continues, "YouTube has harnessed technology to willfully infringe copyrights on a huge scale, depriving writers, composers and performers of the rewards they are owed for effort and innovation, reducing the incentives of America's creative industries, and profiting from the illegal conduct of others as well. Using the leverage of the Internet, YouTube appropriates the value of creative content on a massive scale for YouTube's benefit without payment or license, YouTube's brazen disregard of the intellectual property laws fundamentally threatens not just [Viacom], but the economic underpinnings of one of the most important sectors of the United States economy." In response, Google issued a statement saying that it's "confident YouTube has respected the legal rights of copyright holders." Trying to fall back the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCS) of 1998* Google's lawyers are hoping the DMCA will protect them. Furthermore, even though YouTube has been Consistently plagued with unauthorized material appearing on the site, YouTube sticks to its guns in repeating that it does not control the site's content because users post the content, and have control over what they post. With*the motto of "Broadcast Yourself," and millions of users, it is no doubt that the majority of CSUSM students have visited or even fréquent YouTube and its ,variety of user-posted content. So, what does the billion-dollar lawsuit mean for students? It might mean no more 3 minute clips .of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," or clips of last week's "Colbert Report;" In fact, it very well could mean no movie trailers of clips from DreamWorks Animation favorites like "Shrek," "Sharktale," "Madagascar," and "Shrek 2;" all of which happen to be owned T hürs 22 VOTINGforASI Elections!

Even though Google and YouTube offer free accounts and free access to users, should the lawsuit stay intact even after the appeal of the DMCA, there is no guarantee that there won't be future lawsuits, and unseen costs cast onto users.

Balancing classes, homework, exam preparation, and a social schedule is a tall order. What do you reach for when the feet are dragging and the eyes are drooping? Instant energy. Coffee drinks will never be replaced, but the energy drink craze has boomed in the last five years. Red Bull got the ball rolling, and its success has led to the invention of an array of brands and flavors. According to the official Red Bull website, "To feel its effects at best, you should drink it in times of increased mental and physical strain, for example, on long sleep-inducl ing motorways, during intensive workjj| ing days, prior to demanding athletic activities or before tests and exams. It is recommended to drink one can of Red Bull Energy Drink about 30 min before the start of a concentration task or the start of a race or game in sports." Sounds like a pretty good 'choicl W ^xolfe^-fstutKftt. There are two main on campus sites to obtain a variety of energy drinks. Tim and Sandra Sabatini own and operate the Campus Coffee Cart, which is centrally located between the Commons and Academic Hall. Resting up against Science Hall, the Campus Coffee Cart sells snacks, sandwiches, and a bevy of drinks. They carry roughly 15 different energy drinks, with the cola flavored Rockstar, and the original green label Monster, topping the list. Along with the most popular, they carry: Amp, Rockstar in guava and orange, Monster Chaos, Sobe, and sugar-free versions of most. Sabatini said, "We listen to the students and carry what they recommend. Like Amp (a Mountain Dew derivative), we had requests to carry it and now we do." Tim and Sandra expressed that they encourage student feedback and hope to provide what the student body is craving. According to Sabatini, the Campus Coffee Cart sells "a lot" of energy drinks from open at 7 a.m., to close 5:30 p.m. MTh and 12:30 p.m. on Friday. The second location for an energy drink fix is Cougar Corner. Conveniently located inside The Dome, Cougar Corner is run by Melanie Neidens. Neidens said her most popular energy drinks are original Monster, Red Bull, and newcomer Amp. Cougar Corner San Marcos West ( 760) 5 10-1997 goes through two cases of origi623 Rancho Santa Fe Rd.

Neidens said, "If they ask we try it, [and] if it doesn't move we don't bring it back." Cougar Corner carries a wide variety with the fruity versions selling slower than the originals. On the recent increase in sales of energy drinks Neidens said, "You are still getting vitamins, Taurine, B12, and other natural energy." Along with the two major outposts on campus, energy drinks can also be found in the nooks and crannys of the CSUSM campus. Most Cofcl-Cola vending machines sell Rockstar, and locations include: Commons above the bookstore, near the Office of Extended Studies near the top parking lot, the second floor of Science Hall 2, and outside the first floor of Kellogg adjacent to the flag poles. Additionally, there are a few Red Bull vending machines on campus with one tucked in the corner outside Markstein Hall with one right next to it that sells Full Throttle Blue Demon, a new up-and-comer according to Neidens. There is another Red Bull machine in the hallway of the Dome, and the Academic Hall side of Palm Court has another vending machine for Full Throttle Blue Demon. "I like the Monster Chaos," said senior Rachelle Acker, "it is fruity and it tastes good." Acker is a regular at the Campus Coffee Cart. "I like the Monster Chaos," said junior Adam Lowe. "It has a sweet citrus flavor kind of like O J." Choosing an energy drink to satisfy one's caffeine fix is becoming increasingly harder with more choices and more locations to choose from. Though energy drinks are different from coffee which can cause a feeling of being weighed down, and even a stomach ache, energy drinks do carry their own side effects. As energy drinks continue to sell fast at CSUSM, it important to keep in mind the effects energy drinks and the large amounts of caffeine they contain can have on one's health. Not only can high caffeine consumption cause brief changes in one's behavior, but it can also cause hyperactivity, increased blood pressure, irregular heart beats, and unhealthy spikes in blood sugar. Not to mention that caffeine is a highly addictive substance. Caffeine is a stimulant for the nervous system, providing the extra kick we have all come to rely on, especially during midterms. But, just like any other stimulant, its effect does wear off eventually, and putting the body into overdrive for an extended period of time will begin to take its toll. Thus, with the widespread popularity of energy drinks on campus, and the rapid rate at which students consume them, it is important to keep in mind that just because they are called "energy" drinks, it does not mean they are healthy or good for you. �Recipes for Spring Break disaster 10 Courtesy of The Pride 12 13 14 Last week's key 15 17 18 20 22 23 The three letters of most concern w hen being promiscuous.

This is how it went: Bud Black: "As the new manager, I would like to discuss our plans heading into the season. First, lets call roll. Adams, check. Bard, check. Barfield... Barfield.. Josh Barfield?" Trevor Hoffman: "IJh Skip, the boss dealt him to Cleveland for Kouzmanoff." Black: "Kouzma-who? Whatever, I guess this is an old roster. Forget roll call, lets do some introductions. You over there with the reading glasses, what's your name?" Jake Peavy: "Skip, that's Greg Maddux. He's only won four Cy Young Awards, 16 Gold Gloves, and a World Series championship." Black: "I know, Jake. I'm just messing with Mad Dawg. We go way back. I remember back on September 8, 1991 when I was with the Giants we beat Maddux and the Cubs 4-3 with a four run 7th." Cla Meredith: "Dang, Skip. How old are you two? In 1991,1 was in little league." Black: "Don't worry about it. On to other business. We have a gap in left field that we need to fill. We have a number of..." David Wells: "Hey Bud, do I really have to stick around for this? I mean, I'm a pitcher, not an outfielder. Not to mention, happy hour starts in 10 minutes." Black: "Just hang a little longer, David. We'll get you out of here soon." Terrmel Sledge: "Skip, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for the spot in left." Black: "Tell me about yourself. Which team were you with last season?" Sledge: "I was with this team. I only got into 38 games, but..." _ Marcus Giles: "Skip, Brian just gave me a wet willy." Black: "Brian, leave your brother alone." Brian Giles: "He did it first." Black: "So like I was saying. We need a left fielder since Bochy took Roberts and Klesko with him to the Bay." Russell Branyan: "I can do it. I've always wanted the chance to be an everyday player. I think I could hit 40 jacks if just given the opportunity." Black: "As good as 40 homers sounds, it's your 200 strikeouts I'm afraid of." Adrian Gonzalez: "Coach, I can play left field and first base if you need me to." Black: "Gonzo, I wish I could write your name twice in the everyday line-up, because by the looks of last year's stats, you and Piazza were the only offensive threats. Speaking of Piazza, he's late to the meeting." Hoffman: "Sorry to bring this up, Skip. But, the Boss let him go to Oakland." Black: "Well, looks like we need to fill that position too." Chris Young: "Skip, I've worked out a simple mathematical equation that will result in a World Series championship if Rob Bowen becomes our everyday catcher." Mike Cameron: "Chris, I know you went to Princeton, but that's just dumb. Where did you get this idea from?" Young: "I got it from this guy named Josh Sandoval. He seems to know what he's talking about. He can be reached at Sando026@csusm.edu." On March 13, 2007 I arrived on Campus around 8:45 that morning (the regular time I arrive for a 9 AM class). I turned on to Campus Way from Barham Dr. I continued [turning} right onto Campus View Dr. to head towards parking lot C. After waiting in a huge line of traffic for almost [ten] minutes just to turn right onto Craven Dr, the [police] officer finally let the cars move. Then while waiting to turn left into parking lot C, another officer held the cars [there] for almost [another] [four], to [five] minutes. I noticed that there are normally one or two parking [attendants] directing traffic in the morning, but on March 13, there were actual police officers. These officers may have been trying to help move traffic along better, but had actually cause me (I am sure others as well) to be late for class. While waiting in the large line of cars, I had noticed there was no pattern for the directions the officer was giving, not giving cars in each direction a change to cross the intersection. There has been less traffic without any direction in the morning than with these officers. The parking [attendant] that usually directs traffic in the morning and at [University] hour does a much better job. Please keep the officers away from traffic [direction;] it is only making more traffic! -Dan Evans 28 California Legislators address CFA strike; urge CSU (Mtfantta legislature STATE CAPITOL SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA March 12,2007 Dr. Charles Reed Chancellor California State University 401 Golden Shore Long Beach, CA 90802 Dear Chancellor Reed: As members of the California State Legislature we believe one of the most critical challenges facing the California State University this year is the impending faculty strike. We are disappointed at reports that after over 20 months of bargaining there is still no contract agreement with the California Faculty Association. As we know you are aware, CSU faculty salaries are much lower than faculty salaries at comparable universities, and the average salary for CSU tenure-track faculty is actually lower than the average salary of tenure-track faculty teaching at community colleges. While you have argued that CSU campuses are strugglingfinancially,you awarded your executives salary and benefit increases that average 23% over the last several years. Given your administration's willingness to entertain salary increases for executives, we urge you to accept the challenge of negotiating equitable increases for faculty as soon as possible and avoid any further delays. A few years ago you signed a Compact funding agreement with the Governor, hailing it as a significant breakthrough to ensure CSU funding stability - an agreement that was reached without your ever notifying the legislature of these discussions. Prior to t hat your administration ventured on a colossal information technology project - again, without the advice and oversight of the legislature - that was highly criticized in a state audit, for everything from its $660 million costs to its inoperability and closed bidding process. While we may not understand your reasons for such decisions, we view these as examples of misplaced priorities that give little appreciation for the circumstances of faculty and students in your system. We, the undersigned members, urge you to settle this contract with your faculty. Your Compact agreement was signed with the understanding that it would provide sufficient funding for CSU campus needs, including the salaries of all its employees - n ot just executives. The CSU is a teaching institution, and you must respect and nurture this mission above all else. Now is the time to settle your differences with the faculty, before a strike occurs and before we begin state budget hearings. We find a 20-month delay unacceptable. Given the number of critical challenges facing the CSU, we encourage you to prioritize your efforts in the next few weeks to focus on attending to the faculty's reasonable contract terms. We await your reply.

Idriss inquired with a grin. In any other situation this would seem to be a very odd question indeed; however, this question was posed during the run up to the Muslim holy day of Eid Al-Adhha which involves a sheep sacrifice. I was quite pleased that Idriss had brought sheep into the conversation; after aM,Twasvery curious about Muslim culture, and throughout my three day stay Idriss (a local guide) was more than happy to tell me all about it. I decided to leave Marrakesh, Morocco, to travel north to reach Fez, as I had heard a lot of good things about the city. The added allure of Fez being that I could also visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. In addition to visiting Fez, I wanted to stop off in Meknes and, time permitting, I also hoped to spend a day in Casablanca, which is almost on the way back to Marrakesh; well, not so much 'on the way' as a few hours train ride to the coast. However, first things first: I had to get from the train station to my accommodation, a 400 yr. old traditional Moroccan Riad. A wild petite taxi ride later, and I was dropped off at the Hotel Jamaiis near the ancient walls of the old town Medina. The entrance to Medina was too small for motor vehicles, so I had to make my way to the Riad through the uneven, high-walled Medina passageways by foot. Luckily, it was not hard to find, and when the large, unassuming exteripr door was opened up— i was completely blown away by what I saw. Everything was covered in small colorful mosaics, and in the center of the rectangular courtyard, a beautiful fountain bubbled away soothingly. Four high interior walls surrounded the courtyard. These walls contained all the rooms. Large mosaic-covered columns supported the roof, while spectacular wooden shutters covered the various stained glass windows of the rooms. To be honest, staying a Riad is the best way to get a feel for Moroccan life. In addition, staying in a Riad also allows one to taste the most authentic food, which is exactly what Luiza—the Riad owner—astounded me with as I settled down to dinner in the coolness of the courtyard. A huge, fragrant assortment ofMoroccan style tapas was presented to me, after my hands were washed in rose water. And, amongst the offerings was a multicolored array of locally grown olives—my favorite! I soon realized however, that this was only the first course. Subsequently, plates and plates of exoticlooking sweet and spicy smelling foods were brought out to me, along with a brief explanation of what everything was. Needless to say, I went to bed that night very satisfied, which was a good thing as I had an action packed day planned the next day. Fez is basically three cities in one: Fez el J'did, Fez el Bali— the old town in which I stayed—and the new town, "Nouvelle Ville." The sand-colored high fortress still surrounds the Medina of Fez el Bali and is one of the largest living medieval cities in the world. I decided to go on a tour with Idriss around the souqs (marketplaces) of the Medina, as I had heard that navigating through them yourself was next to impossible, and a few minutes later I was able to see why. The souqs (pronounced 'sooks'), which turned out to be right around the corner from the Riad, were incredible; a veritable maze of high-walled, narrow alleys lined with various street vendors. People were everywhere, going about their daily lives. Pungent scents leapt into the air as I walked by the assortment of stalls. After a while, Idriss and I stumbled upon a courtyard full of donkeys and bleating sheep. Inevitably, it turned out to be the place to buy sacrificial sheep along with the hay to feed them. The courtyard naturally contained a great deal of banter between the vendors and buyers and the air was a buzz with contagious energy. Indeed, it was at this point that I felt so truly electrified that I couldn't keep the smile off my face; I was completely immersed in a world that was so unbelievably different and this was only day one of my travels in Fez. The souqs of Fez were and still are today a wonderful assault on the senses and is one ^of the ^biggest draws to the area. Yet, in my opinion, there is so much else to do like a trip to the ancient city of Meknes and the stunning Roman ruins of Volublis. In all, if you are in Morocco, do not be daunted by the 10 hour train ride to get to Fez from Marrakesh as it offers a very different experience than that of Marrakesh. In fact, one thing I noticed was that everyone on the train was very friendly and very talkative; within minutes the whole car was chatting together. In fact, it was here on the train that I had some very informative conversations about Morocco and the Muslim faith. At one point I sat beside a man who worked for the King's sister! It doesn't get more culturally enriching than this, so get out there, especially those of you who are timid. Explore your senses of wonderment and treat yourself to a taste of the unknown. It will enrich you in ways you never thought possible. �CD r e v i e w : ^ ftftfttt<% . '% Sticky bubblegum pop with Sherwood BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Sherwood, the indie quartet from San Luis Obispo, Ca. credits their name inspiration to the enchanting green forest in the tale of "Robin Hood." And, although there are no tights or feather-decorated hats to be found on the guys of Sherwood, the morale in "Robin Hood" of good triumphing over evil fares well with the motto of Sherwood's latest release, "A Different Light." Previously signed to SideCho Records for their last full-length, "Sing But Keep Going" and "The Summer EP," releases the switch from SideCho to MySpace Records has unquestionably been a positive transformation for the band ofcreative twenty-somethings. Comprised of Joe Greenetz (drums), Nate Henry (vocals, bass guitar), Dan Koch (guitar, vocals), and Mike Leibovich (keys, percussion), Sherwood's makeup is all about making a difference through the causes they support: Music Saves Lives, More Important Than Music, and Save Darfur. Reflecting an optimistic outlook, "A Different Light" is uplifting and easy on the ears, not to mention fun to sing along to. Reminiscent of earlier Relient K, with a hint of Motion City Soundtrack, Sherwood's sound and style—although catchy and as poppy as bazooka bubblegum—is comparable to that of Mae and Waking Ashland. Of the 13 tracks on "A Different Light," there are quite a few standout tracks. The title track, "Middle of the Night," "Song In My Head," "Give Up," and "Never Ready to Leave" are all smashing hits on "A Different Light." Additionally, "For the Longest Time" is a snappy ditty, with plenty of "bop-bop-bahs" to croon along to. "Never Ready to Leave" is drenched in Motion City Soundtrack harmonies and could almost be the baby sister to Motion City Soundtrack's single "LG Faud." "Alive" begins with a softer Beach Boys vibe then progresses into another boppy and entertaining cut. Rightly so, there isn't one track on "A Different Light" that leads the listener astray. There is no way to go wrong with Sherwood's latest release. Furthermore, for the Sherwood fans out there, Sherwood is scheduled to make a pit stop in San Diego on their current tour at the House of Blues downtown along with Mae and Relient K on April 11. Set to play in the middle of the lively lineup, the April 11 show should be a magical and memorable gig for band members and fans alike.

Images of women from all walks of life, from various parts of the globe, spanning seven decades hang side by side, forming a surprisingly cohesive collection. "These images enrich our understanding of how women looked, were treated, or asserted themselves in various eras, from the late 19th to the early and mid-20th century," said Carol McCusker, MoPA Curator of Photog- * raphy. "Collectively, they act as a tribute to the. ageless art of portraiture and to women of energy, confidence, endurance, humor and intelligence everywhere." In Bert Hardy's "Goodbye" (1942), two women on a train platform wave. One presses a handkerchief to her mouth, her perfect suit contrasting with the fear and sadness in her eyes. It is May 23,1942 in Great Britain; three days later, Rommel would begin an offensive against British troops at Gazala. Though it is a British train platform in the picture, British women, the same scene was being played out in the United States, as American women in their smart suits were waving goodbye, praying for the safe return of their loved ones. Today the scene remains the same - different place, different time, same heartbreak. The juxtapositions and subtle connections between images make for a powerful viewing experience. A young Latina gazes rebelliously within a wreath of roses in Luis Gonzales Palma's "La Rosa" (1989), a handpainted photogravure. Nearby, "She is a Tree of Life to Them" (1950) depicts a young black mother holding her children close, in her eyes a look of distrust mingled with defiance. On the same wall, a woman dries cloth in 1970s Vietnam, a lone black figure against a sea of white cloth. On another wall, Heinrich Kuhn's "The Breeze" (c. 1904) captures two English women in Victorian dress standing upon a grassy knoll being harassed by a roguish breeze; one woman's jacket is blown open, exposing the high-collared pristine white blouse beneath. There is a large element of subjectivity when viewing any exhibition, but it seems that that element takes on a particularly powerful role in the exhibition. "I am bringing my own experience to this collection, and that you the viewer will have your own journey through it. The joy here is not just in the quality of the art, but also in the wonderment at the who, what, where, when, and how of these women," Whoopi Goldberg stated, in the forward to the exhibition's accompanying book. The viewer can't help but bring his or her own experiences — memories of loved women, cultural associations, cherished ideals of feminine beauty - into the museum. Whether the images correspond to one's beliefs and memories or whether they contradict them, "Woman: A Celebration" is an experience not to be quickly forgotten. "Woman: A Celebration" will be on view at the Museum of Photographic Arts through May 6, and those wanting to take the experience home with them may purchase the book for $22.95 at MoPA's bookstore.

Restaurant review: Local deli tastes like home BY SHAWN MCKECHNIE Pride Staff Writer Few students have ever heard of Tina's Deli, and even those that have can rarely remember where it is. This legendary San Marcos sandwich shop is located just on the other side of the freeway at 760 North Twin Oaks Valley Road. It is a small, family owned deli that likes to consider its food as "more than; a meal." % \• The atmosphere is simple 'with plenty of bench seating ¡around the counters and epctra seating in backforthose that do not like to eat on the run. The sandwiches run the gambit from the classic BLT to the always delicious Torpedo, a sandwich that cannot be explained only enjoyed. The clientele is exactly what you would expect because of its close proximity to both Palomar and CSUSM. Students make up most of the business, but it is extremely common to see administrators, teachers, police andfirefighterscatching a quick bite to eat on their lunch breaks. The service at Tina's is rivaled by few restaurants, and the staff seems to know every patron's name. How they do this is a mystery, but it adds, to the small town feel that they seem to strive for. Not only is the staff outgoing and personable, but there is a strong sense of community while taking luiiph ai the deli. It is hard to sit and eat without seeing-someone that you know from class, a teacher that you have previously had, or friends that you did not know you would meet there. This adds to the friendly community atmosphere that makes Tina's more than a deli. The price is reasonable and most sandwiches are around five dollars, with students getting an extra 10% off, which is a nice bonus. There is no such thing as a "combo meal" or "supersizing," but they do have plenty of chips and drinks to choose from if you find yourself wanting a little bit more. Service and atmosphere are both good things when considering where to eat, but what really matters is the quality of the food. Each sandwich^ made to order but tastes more like something a mother would make than a restaurant. These days it is hard to find good home cooked meals, but at Tina's a warm cup of soup and a hearty sandwich is the standard/From the thick slices of bacon to the insane amount of meat theyfiton their sandwiches, Tina's Deli doe's everything above and beyond what students have come to expect from every other San Marcos eatery.

Only 838 students voted for CSUSM's 2007-08 student representation. Last year, 578 students voted for ASI representatives. The process of electing ASI representatives has not changed in the past three years. Each year, voting is conducted online, one week before spring break. This year, an email was sent to each student on Wed. March 22, reminding students to vote online. Six out of twelve candidates ran unopposed. Former Student Representative at Large Conrad Ottey returned for a second term, as Vice President of Marketing. At 584 votes, Ottey collected the highest number of votes compared to the rest of the candidates.

The wedding party was fancifully dressed in black tuxedos, and elegant white gowns with contrasting sneakers. The mock priest residing over the festive nuptials was Richard Perez. Onlookers cheered as the two couples approached the priest, and switched positions to represent a gay and a lesbian couple in a wedding ceremony.

It is counterproductive to talk about strike dates and locations while the process is still continuing." On Wed. March 25, President Karen Haynes and ASI President Roy Lee held a student forum in the President's Boardroom. Some students voiced their concern to Dr. Haynes and Lee regarding the potential CFA strike. When Dr. Haynes learned that 94% of the CFA voted to go on strike, she said she was "not surprised, understanding that the faculty need to continue to advocate for what they believe is a fair compensation package." One student told Dr. Haynes that she could make a difference by looking at the CFA and CSU situation in a different way in order to find a solution to the problem. The student said, "If you look at it differently, as a student body president, do you realize that you can make a name for yourself that would be national? It's an opportunity to redefine the problem in a different way." Dr. Haynes replied by stating that there are significant constraints to the unionized environment and that the ability to provide compensation is removed. "There are eleven unions in the system," Dr. Haynes said. "[In] all of them, professional, technical, and service employees, in all of them, there are clear constraints. Administrators in a system like this are simply outside of the conversation. My excitement is going to be directed toward making this campus the best we can and not trying to change a 420,000 student and 23 campus union environment that is funded by the legislature." Dr. Haynes also mentioned how the system can change in order to avoid the current situation. Dr. Hayens said, "It starts with electing officials who are pro education." Patricia Worden, Vice President of Student Affairs, told concerned students that she would be emailing all students should CSUSM's faculty go on strike. CSUSM's homepage will continue to offer updated information on the condition of the CFA and CSU. princess, and we want the Disney marriage package. But one of my concerns is that marriage reinforces some very traditional gender and sexuality binaries that are not necessarily inclusive of all LGBTA people." Franklin also invited the audience to attend another event, "The Constitution and the Judge." Franklin handed out copies of pocket Constitutions and packs of red, white and blue seed packets, and said, "The seeds that are provided are so that you can sew the seeds of democracy in your own backyards." The event on the following day hosted Superior Court Judge David RubinfromSan Diego County. Rubin discussed marriage in relation to the constitution and cases relating to marriage.

Somashekar created EasyBib in EasyBib offers two online 2000 while attending high school. products: MyBib, and MyBibPro. Taparia and Somashekar created MyBib services are free. MyBibthe website to ease the burden Pro services cost $7.99 for a one endured by students trying to year subscription. The website produce bibliographies for school also offers a one week free trial papers. The website allows users for MyBibPro. to quickly and easily create bibliMyBib allows users to create ographies. The website claims to bibliographies in MLA format which are alphabetized and formatted for printing. MyBibPro allows users to create bibliographies in MLA and APA formats. The online product also offers easier citation of books through a database consisting of 18 million entries, an option to upload saved database citations, access parenthetical citation and footnote support, and store multiple lists in a personal account which can be accessed from any location as well as a customer support response within 36 hours of an original inquiry. MyBib requires users to manually enter each piece of information of data to generate a bibliography in MLA format such as author and year of publication. The task can be tedious. However, the formatting done by the website ensures a perfect bibliography in MLA format. MyBibPro requires users to merely enter the title while the website generates the remaining pieces of information needed to complete a bibliography in MLA and or APA format. Another benefit of utilizing EasyBib is saving time and energy. The website claims to reduce the time required for creating bibliographies by as little as half, and as much as two-thirds. During a test run on Stephan R. Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," a conclusion could be made on the ease and swiftness provided by MyBib. The required information was manually entered and with the click of a button a proper bibliography was reproduced in MLA format and ready for direct printing. EasyBib seems to be the perfect solution for a complete and correct bibliography. Managing multiple sources, collecting relevant and correct information, and producing an accurate bibliography are a must with all of the required papers at CSUSM. Although CSUSM library's homepage offers adequate and efficient information on creating and citing sources in MLA, APA, and other formats all Cougars should be aware of, EasyBib can also be easily utilized to ensure truthful and proper bibliographies.

The dieter is allowed to eat as much cabbage soup as he/she likes as well as the foods listed that are allowed for each of the seven days.

True loss of body fat relative to lean muscle does not change in a week or in a month, one must make a lifestyle change and create and diet and exercise plan that they can live with. Alyssa Jacobs asks students to look at dieting and body image in a different way, "a healthy body composition is not something that can be controlled directly; it is reflective of the compounding daily choices we make each day towards a healthy lifestyle." In other words, form follows function. If students are looking for healthy ways to make a lifestyle change and get into shape there are numerous resources on campus as well as on the internet that are free and easy to use. The website www. self.com has a program that challenges the user to get into shape in 3 months, with real workouts and healthy food suggestions. A user can log in and customize a workout log and food log. The workout log tells users exactly how many calories burned during a workout and the food log tells users exactly how many calories he/she ate. The website also gives users weekly workouts and recipes to aid one in not becoming bored with his/her regimen. The entire program is free and easy to use.

However, above and beyond the aweAlthough I almost broke my rule about inspiring structure, and the cheeky Roman 'not arriving in a city after dark', the dusk soldiers who linger around it (be warned of the 'Eternal city' was not at all worrying they really act the part!) the magnificence as I settled down on the Terravision bus to of Rome lies in the fact that everything is the Termini train station. It only took a five nearby. If you do not fancy the walking, minute walk through the cool winter air of there is also the easy to navigate metro Rome to reach the Montestella hostel, and system. However, the best way to see Rome on the way, mopeds galore neatly lined the is to walk, that way you can take everything in, and maintain a healthy schedule narrow old streets. Confidently settled in the hostel, it didn't of espresso and gelato breaks. take long to decide on a restaurant to go Rome is a city with so much to do in. Be to. Using my limited Italian, I managed sure to pay a visit to the Trevi Fountain, the to order a delicious meal of gnocchi in a Circus Maximus—a mass entertainment zesty garlic sauce. A couple of glasses of venue and race track that often hosted charrich red wine in the busy little restaurant iot races—Palatine Hill, Monumneto a Vitlater, and I had planned the events for the torio Emmanuelle, the Pantheon, the Capinext day. First stop: the Colosseum. toline, and the various ancient catacombs— A visit to the Colosseum is seemingly a the list in endless. Being a fan of the artist mandatory thing to do in Rome. It really is Caravaggio, I sought out every place disone of the marvels of the world, and there playing his art, including those housed in is nothing like a wander around its ancient, the church of San Luigi dei Francesi: "The Calling of St Matthew," "The Inspiration of Saint Matthew" and "The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew." I also went on the Bernini trail; his wonderful sculptures are everywhere. In fact, it seems that around every corner there lurks another masterpiece, which brings me to another great aspect of the city: signposts. Little black signposts are all over the place pointing this way and that: "Trevi fountain this way ...the Pantheon this way..." you are absolutely cocooned in historical art. A visit to the Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano (St. Peters Basilica), along with the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City is something that everyone should experience; it is a massive expanse of unimaginable beauty, and if you pop down on a Sunday, you will have a backdrop of beautiful, angelic hymns to accompany the sumptuous feast for the eyes. Rome is a grand place to visit any time of the year. I am more inclined to suggest the cooler months, just because it is less congested, however, the weather may not be the best. During a recent December trip there I got rained on rather badly. And, as luck had it, I was on a long walk to find the "Bocca Delia Verità," a large, round sculpture of a face with the famous "Mouth of Truth." The sculpture's name seems appropriate because it was widely believed at the time of its creation that if a liar was to put their hand in its mouth it would be bitten off! Apparently I am not a liar as my hand came out unscathed so it all turned out well, despite the pouring rain. Indeed, it was quite a f un evening after all, as at thé Boca Delia I met up with a fellow traveler and we had a great time exchanging travel stories as we walked through the pouring rain beside the ancient Circus Maximus. I have many fond memories of Rome; it really is an enchanting place and I fully believe that, regardless of whether you visit to embrace history and art, or simply relax and sip cappuccinos, you are bound to fall in love with the Eternal City. �O PINION THE PRIDE V ^ X A 1 N AV-ALN Tuesday, April 3, 2007 Jock Talk With Josh New opportunities this Spring BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff WriterI love my family, but I considered disowning them after what happened to me this Spring Break. The Friday that school let put I went to Lo$ Angeles for the weekend. I came back to San Diego on Sunday. I then left on Tuesday to Tucson, Arizona with my grandparertts to visit" family and go to baseball spring training. 11:30AM on Tuesday March 27,2007: We stop in Yuma, Arizona to gas up and get something to eat. My phone rings while I 'm eating. I don't pick up the phone because I don't recognize the number, and it's too loud in the restaurant to hear. The mystery number leaves a message. / Noon: I jump into the driver's seat of my car, grab my phone and listen to the message. My grandparents begin to chatter. "Hi my name i s -—-- and I am with the San Diego Padres Marketing department," the message starts. "Oh shit, please be quiet," I yell t omy grandparents. The me§sage goes on. "I would like to s et up an interviewrwith you on Wednesday or Thursday. Please call me back as soon as you can."^ 3 Ì2:Ì5PM: "Hi — , this is Joshua Sandoval returning your call. I am actually in Yuma, Arizona on my way to spring training in Tucson, Arizona so I can't make a Wednesday or Thursday meeting. Please give me a call back so we can set u p something, because I would iove to meet with you." 12:30PM: Back, on the road to Tucson. There are 40 MPH winds bursting across the freeway. We have been in the middle of dust storms for most of the t rip thus far. The phone rings. It's the call I've been waiting for all my life. I need to devote my full attention towards this call, so I pull over to the side of the road and answer, s "Hello?" "Hi, this is — with the San Diego Padres. We want you to come in on Wednesday or Thursday for an interview." "I'm- actually on my way to spring training as we speak. I'm coming back to San Diego on Friday?' "O.K. well how about Monday at 1PM at the Main offices at 100 Park Boulevard?" "Monday at 1PM sounds great," I gratefully agree to. I love my grandparents and I love my family in Tucson, but if the Padres said the interview had to be on Wednesday or Thursday then I would have turned the car right around. 3:16AM on Wednesday March 28, 2007: I can't sleep. Every time I pass out, I dream about working for the Padres and suddenly wake up. This is all that has been on my mind since I got the call. 10:08AM: I get a text message from Karin telling me she has a court side ticket to the Clippers game for me. She knows I'm out of town, but decides to rub it in anyway. 10:09AM: "I love my family... I love my family," I have to keep repeating this to myself so that I don't jump in my car and drive to Los Angeles. Luckily it's only the Clippers. If it was a court side ticket to a Lakers game I would ditch my family and would ask Jack Nicholson to be my new Uncle. I haven't been out of San Diego for 24 hours and I've already delayed My opportunity of becoming a Padre and sitting r f courtside at a Clippers game. 11:00AM: My Uncle Ray buys me a new suit. 1:00PM: My uncie, grandpa and I go to the Diamondbacks and White Sox game. D-baeks win 8-0. 6:45PM: I win $100 playing blackjack at a casino in Tucson. I'm starting to feel better about being in Tucson. I no longer have to convince myself that I really do love my family. I really have had some great opportunities in life thanks in part to my family. B y the time this article comes out, my interview will be over. Who knows if I will be a Padre by then?r Either way, I can't believe some of the things I have been able to accomplish with the help of CSUSM and my family. I have worked with the "San Diego Union-Tribune," "Associated Press," as^a scout for a sports agent, toured with standup comedians and.now maybe a job with the San Diego Padres. I may be getting a little sappy as the wind stretch of my college days are nearing* but it's hard to put into words how grateful I am to my family at home and at CSUSM.

Sunny with blue skies and a cool breeze, it was a perfect day for the Goodguys 7th Del Mar Nationals, held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Hours later a fog bank threatened to encroach upon the festivities, but nothing would deter the thousands of car enthusiasts from their yearly pilgrimage. Hot steel juxtaposed against a backdrop of Spanish mission architecture, an abundance of autos stock and ^H^^^^^SL modified, classics and kit cars - abounded, their jewel box hues a dazzling sight to behold. Candy, fire-engine and crimson reds mingled with rides of teal blue, glittering gold and Dreamsicle orange. In the O'Brien Hall, the elite hot rods cooled their tires in the cavernous space, contestants for the coveted Goodguys Street Rod d'Elegance award. They glistened under artificial lighting, while their less privileged yet still breathtak- • ing brethren dazzled in the sunlight. I Nearby, the Bing Crosby Hall housed ! the hundreds of vendors selling everything from custom headers to neon signs boasting retro images from the 1950s. For the kids, Goodguys offered a free model make-n-take on Saturday at 1 p.m. Kids could build their own model cars and keep them as souvenirs. For the adults, there I were how-to seminars from respected hot I rod builders and a meet and greet with hot-rod builderThom Taylor, •jk^ More vendors hawked H P H f e ^ their wares outside as H ^ H H k jubilant drivers cruised H I down the Del Mar HpNationals "Cruisin' B H P R F Lanes" in their cool creations. Barry Meguiar, host of Meguiar's "Car Crazy" television show, seemed omnipresent, his camera crew trailing behind as he sought out the hottest rides of the show. Ifc cial featured areas included Deuces are Wild, Homebuilt Heaven, Goodguys Pro's Pick Area, Ya Gotta Drive 'Em, Mighty Muscle, Fins are Fifty, Youngguys, and a showcase of woodies - for the uninitiated, these vehicles have bodies that are partially made of wood - called Good Wood. On display in a Spanish-style courtyard complete with bubbling fountain, the collection of woodies basked in the sunlight, decked out with surfboards and vanity license plates, while a live band played nearby. Meanwhile, thousands of car enthusiasts HBBP^ p erused H p i ^ ^ ^ the fantastic array of ^ wares offered by the various vendors and exclaimed over their favorite vehicles, while munching happily on traditional fair fare. The sheer diversity of attendees proved that one can never be too young or too old to appreciate the allure of the auto. Families, small children in tew, couples, groups of girls, and gaggles of guys all paid their money to see the show. Whether clad in casual jeans and t-shirts, raring to go in rockabilly, all dolled up as r etr| pinup kittens, or sporting cowboy boots | jid cowboy hats while cruising in a whii§ Cadillac, show-goers had one thing in common - a love for cars. The magnetic power of the hotrod does not discriminate.

California is the world's 12th largest producer of greenhouse gases. In order to combat this environmental problem, California has been vying for special state permission to regulate vehicle emissions in addition to taking other environmental measures. The battle for tougher standards was won on April 2, 2007, when the Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency has authority to regulate and establish vehicle emissions stan- dards. Before this ruling, the EPA maintained that establishing these standards was the responsibility of the federal transportation regulators. California, along with 11 other states, sued the EPA for shirking their responsibility. To California, it seemed that the EPA was not protecting the environment enough, especially concerning greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, debate continues on how much greenhouse gases really affect global warming. Many, including those in power, insist that global warming is a fad. Some Job Fair at CSUSM Geico, UPS, AT&T, Target, SDPD, and many other businesses on hand BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer politicians bring up the fact that scientists were concerned with global cooling in the 1970s. According to some politicians, global warming is just the new global cooling. Scientists today have yet to agree conclusively on how much greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, though The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports with 100% confidence that global warming is occurring and with 90% confidence that it is because of human interference. On Wednesday, April 18, in Kellogg Plaza, the Career Center will host its annual career fair from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The job fair which is sponsored by CSUSM, North County Times, Enterprise, UPS, Capital Group Companies, Geico, and La Costa Glen Carlsbad, will have over 100 businesses on hand for students to apply. Some of these businesses include California Highway Patrol, Childcare Careers, Accountants Inc., Pacific Marine Credit Union, and Seaworld San Diego. Pamela Wells, associate director of the Career Center said that students should have their resumes on hand to distribute. She advised students to dress nicely, though it does not have to be in f ull fancy interview attire. Businesses will be on hand to attract students to careers and jobs. See EPA, page-2 See CAREER FAIR, page 2 EPA to regulate California's emmissions standards BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Tues. April 24, CSUSM will welcome nationally known speaker Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington. As a trainer and consultant on multiculturalism and multicultural organization development, Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington will lead a discussion titled, "A Dialogue: Intersections of Organizational Priorities and Social Justice Realities." The discussion will introduce a multicultural awareness as it focuses on the issues of social justice and will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Commons 206 and lunch is included. The Lunch discussion will examine multiculturalism and will provide studérrts and faculty with s kiffi to serve a diverse student population. �From L .E.A .D., page 1 THE (^PRIDE A second session titled, " Who am I?

Using only a student ID card, students may check out a plethora of other electronic devices. If it is needed, the library most likely has it. The library has Dell Latitude D620 notebooks available for student checkout. These 14.1 in. screens are easy on the eyes and include an Intel integrated graphics media accelerator card. Each notebook has at least 512MB of DDR2-533 SDRAM and comes with an Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz processor. CSUSM replaces all of its computerized technology every three years to ensure that everything is state-of-the-art. The laptops are available to check out at the student helpdesk on the second floor of Kellogg Library. They may be checked out for three hours at a time. A yellow sign in front of the helpdesk area i nforms students that the helpdesk will be enforcing fines on checked out technology this year. For a laptop, t he fine is $10 every hour it i s late. When asked about if the helpdesk has been lax in the past on enforcing fines, helpdesk worker Lauren Webb said, "We've been forgiving in the past. We've had problems with people r eturning [items] late, even if it was like a couple of hours, or t rying to renew with multiple fines, and then that would have us not have as many things [available] t o c heckout" External hard drives are also available to borrow. These contraptions hold hundreds of gigabytes of information and are available to borrow for extended periods of time—some for entire semesters. Help- desk employee Kyle Andersen said, "The external hard drive is quite a bit bigger t han a t humb drive, but it is also bigger and stores more information." Digital cameras, headphones, microphones, audio recording devices, light kits, sound kits, and even camcorders are also available t o borrow. Depending on the t ype of equipment, borrowing times range f rom a couple of h ours to around four days. A s long as there is other equipment available t o checkout t o someone else, there is no limit on the amount of t imes students may renew. The higher-end equipment is available only for visual p erforming a rts and mass media students with professor permission. Other technological equipment is available t o faculty only. Right next t o the student helpdesk, in the media library, a number of other resources are at the disposal of students and faculty: CDs, DVDs, V HS tapes, and even some old school records. These titles are not j ust merely educational; some are j ust pure entertainment: "Edward Scissorhands," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," and the original "Star Wars" trilogy are among the hipper movies. CDs such a s "West Side Story" and "Phantom of t he O pera" are also available to borrow. These media materials are available to check out for one week at a time if they are not on reserve. If they are on reserve, they may be checked out for an hour or a day, depending on individual title restrictions. All media arid equipment may be checked out during library hours: MondayThursday 7:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. í iIP ; ÉliÉiliiiii Iliilllittl filli ili;: lili Iii Wíi i : "', Cartoonists **^ jjiMW BÍ0P0HD ::• •.

From EPA, page 1 California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger broke with fellow Republican President George W. Bush to support the new environmental measures. Schwarzenegger is also hoping to implement a cap and trade system which will limit the amount of C 02 industries can emit. This system hopes to mimic the cap and trade system currently in use in the European Union. In the EU, industries are given a limit on how much C 02 can be emitted. If a company cuts emissions below the regulated limit, the company earns crédits which can be sold to other companies that go over the limit. It seems simple, but the state has since learned that implementing this system could be costly and complicated.

The cap and trade system sounds like a good way to go." The cap and trade system is currently being considered nationwide. Debate continues in Washington whether this system could be useful for reducing greenhouse gases in America. California, meanwhile, is still trying to get the ball moving on a statewide level. Historically, California has been a pioneer in environmental legislation. In the 1970s, California made moves toward cutting emissions and air pollution before the federal government did. A s it stands, if nothing is done to t ry to reduce greenhouse gases, global warming will seriously threaten 20-30 percent of all plant and animal species if average global temperatures rise 2.2-4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the report issued by the IPCC.

Cal State Film Crew rolls out the red carpet to students BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer The Cal State Film Crew is a relatively new club on campus. Formed by Brandon Brown in October 2006, the club focuses on developing a network for students interested in working in the film industry. In addition to working on smaller side projects, the Cal State Film Crew is currently working on an original feature-length production called "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce." "The basis of the club is that cilstatef ¡Imcr e w.canij C SFC Images courtesy of Cal State Film Crew it is a network of students that are interested in film, not necessarily film majors," said Brown. "It's a Catch-22 in the industry. You basically have to work in the industry to get a job in the industry. We have tried to create a network where you can just join the club and you could show up and participate." Brown said that Cal State Film Crew is an opportunity for students to become involved with film on their own timeframe. It also provides access to the technology available on campus. "You really have access to create a highquality production value movie on campus for literally no money," says Brown. "Our main focus here is to create projects that can be turned into products," said Jason Raya, founding member and producer of "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce." The film encompasses multiple disciplines, explained Ryan, and that Cal State Film Crew gives students an opportunity to use the skills they are learning—whether it be in writing, visual performing arts or even business—and apply it to the film industry. "It is interesting meeting people that are actually devoted to the Film Crew and actually want to assist other students in making quality productions," said business major and club member Larry Cristia. Cristia made a fiveminute short film with Cal State Film Crew for his "Elements of Cinema" course which was also entered into a short film contest at a Las Vegas film festival. "Cal State Film Crew is focused on taking everything to the next level," says member Chad Olson. Olson also stars in the Film Crew's "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce" as Detective Jones. "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce" is an original screenplay written by a student at UCSC, and formatted by Brown. The movie is a film noir that explores the nature of good and evil within the context of fiction and reality. The film is directed by Brown, and produced by Cristia and Raya. The part of Ambrose Bierce is also played by Raya. There are still many shoots before the film is completed and Cal State Film Crew is looking for production assistants and extras. The club will have something available for Cal State San Marcos student film festival on May 9— whether it is the movie in its completion or a teaser trailer. Tasha Sisson who plays Lady Scratch in the film said that she enjoys the opportunity to act in a movie and how much the director (Brown) really helps her get in the frame of mind. "Cal State Film Crew really Chad Olson (pictured above) plays detective Jones in The Devil and Ambrose Bierce. gives students the opportunity to try out doing things in a school setting," Olson says. The Film Crew combines matriculated students with outside industry professionals to maximize student experience as per their constitution. Cal State San Marcos students are encouraged to join the Film Crew if they are interested in learning more about the industry.

No butts ahe on-campus smoking policy llowed Controversy behind t BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer The smoking policy on campus was implemented on August 1, 2005. However, it has been brought to recent attention that some students—who do s m o k e are allegedly not complying with the administered rules. Smoking is limited to the designated outside areas only, and is not permitted in any of the Cal State San Marcos buildings or state-owned vehicles. The idea behind creating designated smoking areas around campus is t o "protect visitors and all members of the campus community from exposure to secondhand smoke by containing it to specific, avoidable areas," reads an excerpt from the official CSUSM smoking policy. Individuals who suffer from asthma or cardiac problems are particularly at risk when exposed to second hand smoke. In addition to secondhand smoke being a Class A carcinogen due to its cancercausing effects, The United States Environmental Protection Agency claims that "there is 'no safe level of exposure4 to secondhand smoke. With designated smoking areas, people can avoid being exposed to secondhand smoke if they choose to do so." Oddly enough, some designated smoking areas seem to be placed in certain highly congested areas on campus (next to Science building 1, and near the Library), where avoiding secondhand smoke is nearly impossible. Therefore, the issue concerning CSUSM students is shifting away f rom why CSUSM has designated smoking areas to instead analyzing the effective placing of the designated smoking areas meant to prevent secondhand smoke. California state law requires that there be "no smoking within 20 feet of all entrances, exits and operable windows and air intakes." CSUSM's smoking policy also stresses that the state law "does not protect people from breathing secondhand smoke in areas like the plazas and on stairways and walkways" and that des- WÄRNIHS SMOKE I S KNOWN TO CAUSE GANGER tSËr.-T^lg? A D OTHERI HEPS SfiTS M . . M .M J M ËÛ ignated smoking areas are more effective because "when smokers are directed to places where they can smoke, versus where they cannot smoke, the policy is more easily understood and honored." Karina Martinez, a non-smoker on campus states that she does not mind when smokers are in the designated smoking areas but becomes annoyed "only when they're walking around with it on campus and I have to walk behind that nasty thing." When asked if she knew and utilized the designated smoking areas on campus, Kate Strauss, a smoker said "yes, I know where the desI ignated smoking areas are. I No, I don't use them. Why? Because, I'm too lazy. But, if someone asked me to move, I'd happily do so." CSUSM encourages smokers and non-smokers to cooperate in order to make the policy effective and understands that "proper signage and education are key parts of this process." For more information on the smoking policy and a map of designated smoking areas on campus, go to http:// www.csusm.edu/rms/smoking_ policy.htm. �Secret ingredients in cosmetics: Secretly harmful? BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Do you know what dangers may be lurking in your toiletries? We all have probably heard the rumor that antiperspirant use causes breast cancer. Although the rumor continues to circulate, an article published in the "Journal of the National Cancer Institute" (Vol. 94, No. 20: 1578-1580) in October o f2002 that the findings of a recent study did "not support the hypothesis that antiperspirant use increases the risk for breast cancer." Yet, the possibility that what we put on our skin may affect our health continues to loom. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of various U.S.-based environmental and public health groups, released a report in July 2002 titled "Not Too Pretty: Phthalates, Beauty Products and the FDA." The article stated the findings of a May 2002 study of name-brand beauty products tested for the presence of phthalates, "a large family of industrial chemicals linked to permanent birth defects in the male reproductive system." Fifty-two out of the 72 products tested contained the chemical. Another group of chemicals to be wary of, warns the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, is parabens. These common preservatives including butylparaben, ethylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben - are known to be absorbed through the skin. Researchers in the U.K. discovered parabens in 20 human breast tumors. Though the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is careful to clarify that no single personal care product is likely to cause cancer, the group insists "we are being repeatedly exposed to chemicals from many different sources all the time." This implies Cosmetic Facts Apply makeup to desired area Repeat as often as needed Applications per bottle.............,......50 Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Soybean Oil, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Purified Water, Zinc Stearate, Silk Powder, Carmine May contain: butylparaben, ethylparaben, metthylparaben, propylparaben, Ascorbyl Pamitate Daily Value (D.V.) not established that the danger in carcinogenic ingredients lies ultimately in how many and how much one is exposed to. In 2004, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics began asking companies that manu- facture personal care products to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. According to a January 2007 press release, by signing the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, companies would agree to the following: "meeting EU [the European Union prohibited the use of potentially health-hazardous ingredients in 2003] standards banning chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects globally; conducting an inventory of all ingredients to determine whether they use chemicals that pose health hazards including cancer, hormone disruption, genetic mutation, reproductive toxicity, developmental harm and neurotoxicity; implementing substitution plans that replace chemicals of concern with safer alternatives; and reporting on their progress in meeting these goals to the public." Since 2004, over 500 companies signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, but many still refuse. A list of companies that have signed the compact is available at http://www.safecosmetics.org. To inform the public ofpotentially dangerous ingredients in personal care products, the Environmental Working Group began a project known as "Skin Deep" (http:// www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep). Not only does the .project entail disseminating fact sheets about harmful ingredients, companies that err or reform, and safety gaps, but it also provides a database of thousands of products, labeling each with a safety-rating that takes into account each of the possibly dangerous ingredients within. "Skin Deep" will even provide custom shopping lists. Users simply select their criteria (e.g. the category of personal care product - Skin Care (Sun), Skin Care (Nourishing), Nail Care, Hair Care, etc. - "No animal testing," "Compact signer," "No known cancer hazards," etc.) and click "Get Shopping List." Just because a company labels its product "organic" or "natural", does not guarantee the product to be free of potentially harmful ingredients. �Finding your way through BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer If you arrive in Prague via the Ruzyne airport and you plan to take the bus 119 into town, whatever you do, find the orange bus ticket vending machine and buy a ticket first. Unfortunately, I did not do this and in my haze of jetlag and sleep deprivation I encountered an annoyed bus conductor; and, as I couldn't speak Czech and he couldn't speak English, the whole ordeal was pretty frustrating. However, the language of money is international and I forked over myfineo f500 Koruna ...a fine start to my trip indeed! The bus dropped me off at the underground train station and I proceeded to take the train, this time looking,out for any orange boxes in the vicinity. My adventure continued as I wandered around in search of the Hostel Advantage located on Sokolska 11. At this juncture I must advise all future travelers to take the time to learn a little Czech before you get to the country, my cramming on the plane just didn't cut it, although I did learn during my stay, and I learned fast! The first thing I did in Prague was seek out a feast of goulash. After all, I had long and excitedly suspected that the Eastern European food would be somewhat reminiscent of Scottish food (and equally as healthy) and I was not proved wrong. Taking the 10 minute trek towards the National Museum, the whole splendor of Wenceslas Square (Vaclavske Namesti) was revealed in its Christmas splendor. As a main thoroughfare in Prague, the 600-year-old Wenceslas Square was the scene of independence protests in 1918, and also the place where a student named Jan Palach set himself on fire on January 16, 1969 in protest of the Russian occupation. Look for the touching memorial to him on the ground in front of the National Museum. In addition to its historical and cultural significance, the Square is also the starting point for many city tours, along with the expected touristy shops, and restaurants. In winter, the large 'courtyard' becomes a Christmas market. It has a wonderful atmosphere; the chilly air is heavy with the invigorating aroma of mulled wine and pastries. People wander around, jubilant with festive music, and if you are lucky, it may even snow a little! I found a little restaurant that served goulash and settled in with a pint of famous Czech pilsner. Listening to the banter around me, I pulled out my phrase book and read a little, considering the days ahead whilst watching people scurry around the narrow street outside... There is a lot to see in Prague, and, if you are interested in architecture, this is one of the best cities to visit. A couple of days walking around, with or without a tour guide, will have your head spinning with the spectacular construction all around you. One such building that is always sought by visitors is the Astronomical Clock (Starometske namesti) in the Old Town Square. A bizarre and thought-provoking clock, it combines astronomical data with fixed and mechanical figures. The figures surrounding the clock are depictions of three of the seven cardinal sins and, on the right side, Death pulls a bell every hour on the hour while nodding his head to announce that time is up! Charles Bridge, lined with magnificent statues, is another spectacular sight that is also really f un to see on a cruise on the river Vltava (Pron: VOOLtava). A trip to the small town of Kutna Hora to see the famous Bone church is highly recommended. Words cannot do this place justice! The whole interior of the church is decorated with human bones! Other places worth -seeing include Prague Castle, which contains the 'centuries to complete' StVitus Cathedral. In addition, I highly recommend a trip to the Opera (I saw "Carmen") and the museums, such as the Museum of Communism. It is important to remember this difficult chapter in Czech history and the communism exhibit is excellent. It traces the beginnings of communism and its role in the history of the Czech people, along with discussing the resignation of the communist party after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The Czech Republic is a fabulous and ancient place; nowhere in the city can you avoid the echoes of the past. Prague commands respect and mesmerizes with both its amazing beauty and its tragic history, just keep a look out for the bus and train ticket machines! Clockwise from top: Church Portal. A bone chandelier in Kutna Hora. Charles Bridge in the rain. St. Vitrus Cathedral. An old townhouse.

BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Padres opened their 2007 campaign with a 7-0 shutout victory on the road at AT&T Park against the National League West rival San Francisco Giants. It must have been a bit strange for new Giants manager Bruce Bochy to look in the mirror and see black and orange instead of his familiar Padres blue and sand. Bochy managed the Padres for 12 seasons. The rival Giants lured the former Padres skipper, and many other former friars, up the 5 freeway and out of the hearts of San Diego fans. Last year's leadoff man Dave Roberts, lefty slugger Ryan Klesko, and third base coach Tim Flannery / to name a few) joined Bochy's migration north. April 3: It's was game one of, a marathon 162 game schedule and pitted ace Jake Peavy on the mound against Giants starter, and recently signed $126 million dollar man, Barry Zito. A product of San Diego (University High School), Zito left the Oakland A's and followed the greenbacks across thé bay to the Giants. Rookie Padres manager Bud Black hoped to begin his tenure with a victory. Black is a very even keeled guy who was the pitching coach for the LA Angels of Anaheim when they claimed the World Series title in 2002 over the San Francisco Giants in a seven-game thriller. That series gave Black a chance to see Barry Bonds up close and personal. Coming into the season, Bonds, the Darth Vader of baseball outside of San Francisco, has his most career homeruns-"against the~Patfres with 85. That's roughly 12 percent of his 734 total entering this season. He is knocking on the door of the most hallowed recprd in sports, Hank Aaron's 755 career homeruns. * Peavy was lights out, becoming the first Padres starter to win back-to-back opening day starts since Clay Kirby in 1972-73. Peavy pitched six scoreless innings, giving up three hits while striking out six. He pounded the. strike zone with fastballs before handing the ball to his bullpen. Last year's rookie phenom Cla Meredith pitched a scoreless seventh inning and new acquisition Heath Bell did not allow a run in the eighth or ninth. Zito was touched up for three runs in hisfiveinnings and lost his third consecutive opening day start. The offense was highlighted by a career-best four-hit performance by catcher Josh Bard and two doubles from RF Brian Giles. IB Adrian Gonzalez knocked in a run, and newly acquired * LF Jose Cruz Jr. had two RBI. The Padres showed a glimpse of what can make this team very successful. Without a ton of pop in the lineup, this club must get good starting pitching and hand the ball to an extremely talented bullpen. The offense, anchored by Gonzalez, has to produce timely hitting up and down the lineup. The 2007 version of the Padres do not have an abundance of speed so good managing and clutch hitting will be a major factor. The win was the first ever opening day shutout for the Padres in team history. The Giants were shut out for the first time since 1967 and only the third tiffigiTf80 years. �8 Tuesday, April 10, 2007 2007 : A A OC & THE PRIDE E Courtesy of The Pride Sports Teams Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League Last week's key: ACROSS 4 San Diego, CA.

Swamis IPA is a true San Diego original and can only be enjoyed at Pizza Port in Solana Beach. If you have never experienced the fine beer and pizza at Pizza Port, you are seriously missing out. This is a local brewery restaurant that never disappoints. At Pizza Port they brew all of their own beers with some of the finest hops and barley. Year-round they brew eight types of beer but also offer additional selections depending on the season. They have everything from a California Honey Ale that is brewed with the finest honey in California to the Swamis IPA that will stick with you through dinner. The other day after an incredible day of surfing I went home with my arm in a sling. Thinking that my day was over, I got a call from a buddy telling me to meet him at Pizza Port. Even though I was injured I knew that Pizza Port would be just the solution to a hungry belly. So I made my way down to the 101 and found Pizza Port as busy as ever. When I went to order the first pitcher, I was stumped on which brew to choose. The guy behind the counter began to laugh and said, "Man you should get the Swamis IPA. This is our wipe-out beer." When I returned to the table with the pitcher of dark golden Swamis IPA I could see my friend's mouth salivating. The Swamis IPA is a true ale. With so much flavor, you have to drink an entire glass to really appreciate all of the tastes. And when you are done, the bitter ale aftertaste stays with you. This is not a beer for the weak. This is a beer that could leave a lump in your throat if you are a light beer drinker. But if you truly love beer, I recommend trying it.

With his current album, "Awake," available now in stores nationwide, the newly signed Glassnote/LG artist continues to set the bar high and soar through the music world. In recent years the once unsigned artist proved the industry wrong with his refreshing DIY fashion^ as his independently garnered success still resonates in the hearts of his fans and fuels his current tour. As the next chapter for this emotional songster on Glassnote Records begins to unfold, Vesely's raw talent is setting the country ablaze in gorgeously crafted songs. S e c o n d h a n d S erenade With a sound almost reminiscent of Dashboard Confessional with a smattering of All American Rejects, it is hard to pinpoint just exactly what Secondhand Serenade sounds like, as the cookie-cutter covered airwaves continue to dictate an artist's sound and success these days. Readily apparent to anyone who gives "Awake" a listen, Vesely's heart, passion, and talent drip endjessly out of each song, making the album timeless and intimate. In addition to being recently named MTV's "Discover and Download Artist," the new video for Secondhand Serenade's hit single, "Vulnerable," will premier on Fuse's "Oven Fresh" this week. The Pride: So a lot has happenedfor you in the past year— Vesely: A whole lot. My album took off in the last year in a very independent way. Lots of kids started getting into it, and that led to a lot of opportunities, including finding my current record label, [and] getting together with a great video director. I'm already getting started on the next album now, and I'm actually on my way up to Seattle now to play a show. I'm in the middle of a tour. The Pride: How's the tour going for you so far? Vesely: The tour is actually going really well. I'm really happy with the turnout at the shows; there are so many kids coming to support me every night; it's a really good feeling to see them and hear them sing along. And Monty Are I is like the coolest band ever. I'm so happy to be touring with those guys, and we are just having tons of fun. The Pride: You've been extremely popular on MySpace, being in the number one spot multiple times. How has MySpace been an effective toolfor you in your musical career? Vesely: MySpace really helps out on all fronts. It really helped boost my album sales before I even got signed, as well as it's really supporting my tour right now. I'm having several hundred kids come every night, and it's really honestly my first tour, so the turnout isn't from previous touring, it's from MySpace. It's pretty amazing. The Pride: Has signing with a label changed your musical vision at all, or has it helped it? Vesely: Not at all—getting together with a label, it's a means to an end. It's only a vehicle, and the last thing I wanted was it to effect what I did musically, and I mean, of course it comes with the idea that you have to think about more than just making songs. You have to think about MTV, radio play, retail, all these different elements when you're writing, but the thing you have to think about most of all even, is that all that stuff doesn't even really matter when it comes down to it, you know? The Pride: Is the next album going to be similar to the style of "Awake"? Vesely: My songwriting has definitely evolved and grown since I wrote "Awake." [This] album is going to be a little different; it's going to have some full band stuff, some piano, definitely lots of acoustic, and it's going to be more interesting. There [are] more elements of orchestration involved. The Pride: What can fans and newcomers lookforward to in 2007? Vesely: They can definitely look forward to the new album coming out by the end of the year. [And] to the video coming out, it's just about to go up on Fuse, and we have it on MTV downloads so that will be really coo}, and we have some touring p l a n n e d , j g H M ^ so they can d efinitely ^ ^ K f S m look forward to me ^ I f ^ l m coming to see them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It did need to go up, but not the way it did." According to Dr. Powell, she and other faculty are willing to support students, should they decide to hold rallies on campus. "All along we've said we support the students," Dr. Powell said, "and we still are." According to Dr. Powell, CSUSM's commuter culture may be partly to blame for the lack of organization when it comes to rallies, especially compared to other state universities. Dr. Powell added, "Support from us is there, students are going to have to show an interest." if>ms& AMANDA ANORTEN .. * E DITOR From DR.

Dr. Haynes currently serves on the Board of Directors of the San Diego North Economic Development Corporation. She also serves in leadership roles with the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the American Council of Education. Statewide, Dr. Haynes represents the region in higher educational issues of extended education and accountability through the CSU Task Force on Accountability and the CSU Commission on Higher Education.

Once the Board of Trustees ratifies the contract, it will be final. On April 3, the Chancellor's Office presented a contract to the CFA, halting what would be the first strike ever in the history of the California State University system. When Dr. Janet Powell, President of the San Marcos chapter of the CFA, learned that the CFA was not going on strike, she said it was like a "sigh of relief." When speaking of the strike, "No one," Dr. Powell said, wanted to do this." According to Dr. Powell, when the CFA's struggle may be over, another struggle has just begun. Thousands of students across the CSU will be taking part in student rallies against the tuition raise students must pay in the fall. "CSU students have already been hit with 76% increases in student fees since 2002, and this additional hike would bring that to 94%. We urge CSU management to fight for the students by calling on the Legislature to include those additional funds in the budget for next year- so that a fee hike will not be necessary," said CFA President John Travis. Dr. Powell said, "We're still 94% of the CFA voted to go on strike, the result brought the Chancellor's Office to the immediate realization that the faculty were indeed willing to go on strike for fair pay. The vote, Dr. Powell believes, acted as a catalyst in the collective bargaining process. "They waited to the last minute," Dr. Powell said, "but that vote was huge." Dr. Powell also expressed her thanks toward "the faculty and students who supported us in one way or another. No matter what level of involvement, we appreciated the support."

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill in September 2006. He wrote, "I applaud all young people who work hard, graduate high school and attend college." Current law allows undocumented students who have attended a California high school for three years and those who have graduated from a California high school to attend a state college and get a reduced 'in state tuition rate.' Those students, however, are not eligible for public financial aid dollars. California has over 100,000 students here legally who apply annually for financial aid to attend college, and our state has limited funds available for this important purpose. "While I do not believe that undocumented children should be penalized for the acts of their parents," Governor Schwarzenegger wrote, "this bill would penalize students here legally by reducing thefinancialaid they rely on to allow them to go to college and pursue their dreams. For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill." Gricelda Alva, a student who spoke at the rally, said "I was amazed at the turnout for our event. I also felt the great support from our faculty, staff and administrators who took a moment to learn more about the plight of undocumented students, because their struggles are something unheard of to the general student population at CSUSM. I am grateful for the wonderful work of Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro and its collaboration with ASI, and great support from Progressive Activist Network who helped make this event possible." The rally provided free subway sandwiches, chips and soda for those who showed up. The event gathered 145 student signatures in support for the passing of SB160. What i On Wed.

BOLDMOVES San Diego County Ford Dealers �Website of the Week: BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer "Share, reuse, and remix - legally" is the slogan of the website www.creativecommons.org. The website "provides free tools that let authors, scientists, artists, and educators easily mark their creative work with the freedoms they want it to carry." Essentially, the entirety of the website's raw source material online provides students with "scholarship, music, film, photography, literature, courseware, etc" and not only acts as an additional research tool, but also actively provides students with sound clips, songs, pictures, and movies to use in and outside of school. Because Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization, everything they do is absolutely free. The organization was established in 2001 and is guided by an impressive Board of Directors, and both of the Internet & Society centers at Harvard University and Stanford Law School University helped in getting the project off the ground. The Creative Commons website is broken down into five categories (that they call "commons"): Science Commons, ¡Commons, cclnternational, ccLabs, and ccMixter. The Science Commons is "built on the promise of Open Access to scholarly literature and data, Science Commons identifies and eases key barriers to the movement of information, tools and data through the scientific research cycle." The iCommons consists of a much broader spectrum of topics but dedicates itself to creating a "united global commons front by collaborating with open education, access to knowledge, free software, open access publishing and free culture communities around the world." For students who are involved in a band or simply love music, ccMixter "is a community music site featuring remixes licensed under Creative Commons, where you can listen to, sample, mash-up, or interact with music in whatever way you want." The "Education" portion of the website provides incredible access to schools such as MIT, Rice University, and the Berklee College of Music. MIT's "OpenCourseWare" offers "a free and open educational resource (OER) for educators, students, and self-learners around the world." Rice University Offers a program called "Connexions," where anyone can view and/or contribute to "small knowledge chunks" that they call "modules" which can be organized into categories. Berklee College of Music offers free online music lessons that students can download, share and trade. These three programs are amongst many others that Creative Commons provides as a resource to aid and enhance student's educational experience. The website is extremely large and provides such an ample amount of information that the best way students can acquaint themselves with the site is simply to search around and customize searches in accordance to their academic needs.

In an attempt to establish an annual event, Sherry Brideau the current Director of Community Service for ASI is asking students to look into their closets and part with barely worn items to help people in need. The clothing drive began April 2 and runs through Friday, April 20th. According to their website, http:// www.ccssd.org/about.html, "Each year, CCS assists more than 12,000 men, women and children affected by relationship violence and sexual assault. Our services are divided among five program areas including: a Rape Crisis Center that provides services for survivors of sexual assault along with a 24-hour bilingual crisis Helpline and hospital and court accompaniment services for rape survivors; a clinical department specializing in counseling and therapy services that address the emotional aspects of relationship violence and sexual assault for victims and their families; a legal clinic assisting individuals with filing temporary restraining orders and other family law matters; a Education and Outreach Department that uses education as a tool for violence prevention and change for professional audiences, youth groups and the general public; and a Residential Services Department that includes a 24-hour emergency shelter and transitional housing program for victims of domestic violence and their children." Regarding the student donation to CCS Brideau said, "It is important because we are donating to a worthy cause. The women who are at the CCS shelters are coming from domestic violence. They usually come with just the clothes on their backs. When they are in transitional housing they need nicer clothes for court dates or job interviews." Last year ASI focused solely on donating to the Salvation Army and had about "17 bags," according to Brideau and currently has around "four trash cans full of [clothes] and still have more people donating." As Director of Community Service, she is in charge of planning and organizing community service and volunteer opportunities for CSUSM students. This year Brideau has been involved in setting up a few beach clean-ups and feeding migrant workers, to name a few. To get more involved, email "Sherry Brideau" at brideOOl @csusm.edu. Drop off spots for clothing and shoes are: Commons 203, the Women's Center located at FCB 102, and the UVA Community Building.

Unveiling VPA Visual and Perfomiing Arts facilities on campus BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer The Arts Building houses some of the most advanced technological equipment on campus—when it comes to music. To most of us, the Arts Building is a mystery. What's there? What is it for? The answers to those questions will be revealed. The first floor is home to seven music practice rooms which students can we use on a first-come, first-served basis to practice instruments of their choice; they do not even need to be visual performing arts students to use these practice rooms, some of which have pianos in them. The first floor also houses the Indonesian Gamelan room. In this room, students can play authentic gamelan instruments all the way from Indonesia if they are registered in the class. The instruments range from the small xylophone type keyboards to giant gongs. All of them are beautifully adorned. The electronic recording studio is also on the first floor. This studio records CD-quality music that is accessible to electronic music students. There are many keyboards and mixers. The software available is ProTools on the Apple computer operating system. The first floor also has a giant dance studio, and a performance-rehearsal area. On the second floor, there is a control room which contains all of the buttons and whistles which control the performance-rehearsal area. It is high-tech: filled with light controls, microphone controls, mixers, speakers, computers and other advanced equipment. The second floor is also home to the biggest lecture hall on campus which dou- bles for a performance hall for Music students on occasion: Arts room 240. At full capacity, 250 people can be seated. The Arts Building is just five years old. Before 2002, the Visual and Performing Arts program was housed in three portables on the edge of campus. Dr. Bill Bradbury, Professor of Music, said that it really helps to have a building that can inspire students on campus. "It made a big difference. We went to having 45-50 VPA majors tofivetimes as many majors. It really helped us have a presence on campus." The Music program continues to grow. Bradbury said that there is a proposal that would develop an official Music major and minor. He is hopeful that those programs should be in place by the fall of 2009. Coming in Fall 2007 is the university's first choral ensemble. Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Performing Arts Professor, is looking for students who would like to be a part of the group. "We are really excited about this. We are going to do a university singing group." Dr. Imara said. Interested students should contact him. His email is mimara@csusm.edu, and his office is Arts 308. There are a lot ofmusical resources available to students in the Arts Building. If students are interested, they should definitely take advantage of these resources. Photos by Amanda Andreen / The Pride �Photos f rom the Cougar Prido Rally On Monday April 9, ASI hosted the 3rd annual Cougar Pride Rally. Students gathered during University Hour to participate in games and to show their Cougar Pride. The student who showed the most pride, either with blue or white paint on their face, CSUSM attire or with enthusiasm, won a free ipod from ASI. CSUSM cheerleaders were present at the event, along with student leaders and those students just looking to have fun. In one contest, students had to cover their face in shaving cream, at which point other students threw cheetos at their face. The student whose face contained the most cheetos, won. In another competition, ASI leaders laid eggs on the ground, blindfolded students and told them to try and avoid the eggs. But once the students were blindfolded, the ASI members removed the eggs from the ground and watched with everyone else as the blindfolded students walked in such a way to avoid the eggs that were no longer there.

Not a bad start for the two-time defending National League West champs. It is going to be a tough task to three-peat. The Los Angeles Dodgers, who drubbed the Padres 9-1 on a horrific Friday the 13th in LA, lead the division at 7-3, and the Arizona Diamondbacks, in San Diego for a brief two game set Wednesday and Thursday, sit at 7-4. The Padres pitching staff has been solid while the offense has shown an ability to come back in the late innings. To open the season, San Diego took two of three against the NoCal rival San Francisco Giants. Former Padres manager, and current Giants skipper Bruce Bochy, saw his old team yield a measly six runs in three games at AT&T Park in the opening series of the 2007 campaign. Ace pitcher Jake Peavy tossed a gem opening night, and closer Trevor Hoffman added to his all-time major league leading saves total in game two. The save was Hoffman's 483rd of his hall-of-fame career. The game was highlighted by an eighth inning two-run blast by IB Adrian Gonzalez that sealed the victory. Game three saw Clay Hensley, ailing from a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand, give upfiveearned runs in 4 2/3 innings and the Padres lost for the first time this season. The home opener at Petco Park did not go the fans' way. Free agent signing Greg Maddux, who came into this year 10th on the all-time wins list with 333, did not fair well in his Padres debut. Maddux gave up four earned runs in 5 1/3 innings as the Friars fell to another division opponent, the Colorado Rockies 5-4. The Padres took the next two from the Rockies in dramatic fashion. Saturday April 7, the home team tied the game in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Gonzalez who won it in the ninth by doubling home Jose Cruz Jr. to eek out the 3-2 victory. On Sunday the 8th, Cruz Jr. homered into the jury box in right field to tie the game in the eighth and new 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff brought home SS Khalil Greene with a single in the tenth inning. Kouzmanoff endeared himself to the home fans after a bit of a struggle with his new team to begin the season. Monday, April 9 the Giants came to town for manager Bruce Bochy's homecoming after a successful twelve year run steering the ship for the Padres. Bochy led the swinging Friars to the playoffs four times highlighted by a World Series appearance in 1998. Chris Young stuck a dagger in the Giants, winning the game 1-0. Young out-dueled young Giants starter Matt Cain by pitching seven solid innings of shutout ball. Cain threw well allowing only one hit in his seven innings of work, a double by Khalil Greene in the seventh ending Cain's bid for a no-hitter. Pinch hitter Geoff Blum's sacrificeflygave the bullpen the only run it needed to seal another late inning win for the Padres. Clay Hensley's blister problems continued and the Padres contributed to a loss by committing some ill-timed errors early in a 6-5 loss April 10. However, the Padres fought hard after being down by six runs early. Adrian Gonzalez socked two homeruns as the team continued to show its never-give-up attitude. The next day Greg Maddux followed with his first victory in a Padres uniform, throwing darts in deal- ing the Giants a 4-0 loss, for the 334th win of his brilliant career. Going up to face the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine is never an easy task, and hefty lefty David Wells was knocked around for five runs on eight hits in just 2 1/3 innings on Friday the 13th. Dodger pitcher Derek Lowe once again befuddled the Padres lineup as they suffered their worst loss of the season in a 9-1 loss. The nine runs were the most surrendered by the Friars this year and also snapped the bullpen's scoreless streak to begin the season at 29 1/3 innings. The Padres set a major league record by not giving up a run by a bullpen to open the year. The previous mark was 22 set by the Chicago White Sox in 1955. It was only a couple innings from the all-time franchise mark of 32 notched in the '78 season with a bullpen anchored hall-of-famer Rollie Fingers. Mighty D ucks t ake G ame O ne Experience the Western Conference Quarter Finals BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer After the announcement of the starting lineups and the singing of the national anthem, Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarter-Finals was set to begin. The referee dropped the puck and the game was underway. With both sides battling hard early on trying to gain the upper hand in the game, the Ducks received the first power play when Minnesota Wild's Derek Boogaard received a penalty for charging. After several missed scoring opportunities by the Ducks, captain Scott Niedermayer was charged for tripping, losing their power play. The fans became angry by the call and began chants of "Refs, you suck." By the end of the first period, both teams were unable to score and the Ducks went to the locker room knowing they had several opportunities with two shots ringing off the post. In the second period, the Wild took the first lead of the game when Kurtis Foster set up Pavol Demitra in the slot to beat Ducks goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov 6:01 into the second period. The Ducks were able to respond 3:51 seconds later when Francois Beauchemin made a deep centering pass that Teemu Selanne capitalized on by splitting the two defensemen and beating rookie goaltender Niklas Backstrom with a quick wrist shot through the five-hole. The goal tied the game and allowed Selanne to tie the team's career record for points in the postseason. The game was all squared and both teams were playing a physical game. The teams would remain tied as they buzzer sounded for the end of the second period. The third period began, and the pace of the game was slower than the previous two periods. Neither side was taking control of the game as both sides were dumping the puck and chasing it. Then with 5:20 remaining in regulation, Ducks Dustin Penner pushed the puck in the back of the net and gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead after an eventful play. Ducks forward Ryan Getlzaf passed the puck to Penner who turned and shot the puck. Backstrom was able to make the save when his defensemen Kim Johnson knocked him down and fell on top of Backstrom. The puck was still alive in front of the net when Corey Perry slapped at it. The puck slid under the pad of Backstrom and when it popped out of the other side, Penner was there to slap the puck in the net to give the Ducks the eventual game-winning goal. This brought the sold-out crowd to its feet as Penny wise "Bro Hymn" began to play. The arena would stay energetic into the final horn. The Ducks came back to win game one of the best of seven series and they were able to head into Minnesota with a 2-0 lead in the series. Photos by David Church / The Pride �WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ALISON AFFLECK? BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Grenada has come a long way since the day I watched its 'matchstick' covered, green volcanic hills disappear from my airplane window. The matchsticks I am referring to of course were the remnants of buildings strewn across the landscape following Hurricane Ivan's brutal assault; an event that I, unfortunately, was present for. I lived on the island while I attended a University there and fell in love with the place. In fact, her resilience and strength in picking herself up again after enduring such a tragedy as Ivan, only further solidifies the island as one of the most magnificent countries that I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Rather than simply recount a tragic chapter in her history, I would like to describe an often overlooked West Indian island retreat, one that still maintains the real Caribbean experience the small nation of three islands: Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique. Grenada (Pron: GrenAYda), one of the Windward Islands, is located in tHe Eastern Caribbean. It is small, 12 miles wide by 21 miles long, and it is known as the 'Spice Isle' due to the fact that it contains more spices per square mile than any other country; nutmeg being its number one specialty . The island's history involves her being fought over by both French and English hands several times and even though the English Queen (albeit the image of a very young queen) still gazes back from their Eastern Caribbean Dollar bills, Grenada gained her independence from the UK in 1974. Like the U.K, cars in Grenada drive on the left hand side of the road, but the remaining influences are more French than English; apparent in the French placenames over much of the Island. A visit to Grenada will drop you off, most likely in a prop-plane, at Point Salines the island's only functioning airport. Point Salines is located close to the largest and capital city of StGeorges and the spectacular Grand Anse Beach so it is no surprise that this, southwest region of the Island, is the most popular destination for visitors. Most of the island resorts and Spas are located on Grande Anse beach, along with a fairly new shopping mall; however, the island itself remains very un-touristy. In fact, compared to many other Caribbean islands, Grenada is the real deal, a veritable portrait of Caribbean life that many other islands lost years and years ago, before tourism became their economic mainstay. The bustling harbour of Carenage in St.Georges is a wonderful place to stroll around. It is here that you will see stalls with a dazzling array of produce from spices; prickly apples and sour sop fruit (tastes a bit like potato) to various types of seafood, such as the famed conch. A trip here will undoubtedly whet your appetite. West Indian cuisine is spicy and delicious, and 'callaloo' soup is a Grenadian specialty not to be missed as is the rum and local beer, 'Carib'. The interior of the island contains the dense and beautiful Grand Étang Forest Reserve that contains beautiful waterfalls and a huge variety of chattering wildlife, including the Mona Monkey and the surrounding Caribbean Sea with its accessible reefs are great for scuba or snbrkeling. The smaller islands of Carriacou, and Petite white sand of Grenada's sister islands or Martinique are perfect for their seclusion explore Grenada itself, the experience will and tranquility -these are not touristy be incredible...my top tip is to watch the places at all and there are only a few places sunset over St.Georges whilst chest deep to stay. Of course, It is important to realize in the bath-water warm Caribbean sea, it that this unspoiled paradise brings with it is something will stay with you forever; (or lacks) some things that the first world just watch out for the huge land crabs and dweller may not be accustomed to; but toads that wander around at sunset on the whether you decide to simply relax on the way back to your hotel! �Thürs % 10 UNIVERSITY HOUR: ResumeWritíng Workshop Owen 1400 fe&t- ; 10am-11:50am CLIMB m the Executive's Chair Guest: CEO of Broadcom Markstein 125 Semel Assault Awareness & Prevention Arts 240 11;00am-3pm Spring Job Fair CSUSM Kellogg Library Plaza Writing Workshop Citing Sources (APA/MLA) Ufa Cougar Film Series, StompTheYard 7pm Vmr.

I was just introduced to the work of Kurt Vonnegut. His semi-memoir, "A Man without a Country," was one of the assigned readings in LTWR 475 and it definitely caught my attention. After I read that book I did a lot of research on Vonnegut just to find out who he was. I related to what he said about unoriginality in writing, the political situation in the country, and if there really is a God. Writing takes up most of the capacity in my life which may explain why "Almost Famous," "The Secret Window," and "Finding Forrester" are some of my favorite movies. But when it comes to having those goose bump feeling moments, I don't have those that often when I read other peoples words, but Vonnegut was different. With his death last Thursday it brought sadness to many of his fans. I feel gypped, however, because I've only know of him for a few months now. I'm actually getting into "Player Piano," Vonnegut's first novel, for my COMM 445 class with Dr. Katherine Brown. Not to sound like a stalker, but there's one thing I do when I find a writer that I truly appreciate. I create a correspondence with the writer. This is something I recommend for all people who claim to be interested in writing. Most writers love to talk about writing and will be cordial with you if you show the same passion for the craft. That's one reason why I post my e-mail at the bottom of this column. When I was 15 I started reading Woody Paige, a sports writer with the Denver Post. I e-mailed back and forth with him and he became a major influence on my writing at that age. At 18 I met Rick Reilly at the annual Point Loma Nazarene writer's symposium (I greatly recommend the symposium to all writer's) and began a correspondence with him. He showed me that a sports writer doesn't just have to write about sports. Mitch Albom, Tom Friend, and Jerry Crasnick are a few other the status quo. You are going to piss of people when you take a risky stand. You are going to have people who want to censor you when you show opposition to a war or to the President. This is something I've had to deal with, and this is something that Vonnegut has shown me can be done. To end with a quote from "A Man without a Country: "The truth is, we know so little about life, we don't really know what the good news is and what the bad news is. And if I die—God forbid—I would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there, 'Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news?'" Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. writers that I've asked questions to. From reading tributes about Vonnegut since his death he apparently answered all letters written to him, too. I'm not the only person who liked his style. He influenced the likes of Jon Stewart who uses satire to bring attention to social issues, and Keith Olberman who can go on a Vonnegut style rant like no other. Vonnegut meant so much to Stewart as a kid that when he got to interview him on the "Daily Show" he introduced Vonnegut like this: "As an adolescent he made my life bearable." Not everyone gets satire. When you work in a mainstream industry like Olberman, Stewart, and Vonnegut you are going to have your critics.

K^''* • y * Letters to the Editor: Dear [Pride], As the Coordinator for Pilipino Culture Night, I'm disappointed how one your writer's has covered Kamalayan Alliance's 1st Pilipino Culture Night. We were personally asked to send your staff writer pictures from our event. There was no indication that a story was to be attached to those photos, for your staff writer had lacked to communicate that information. If we were informed of that process, we would have been obliged to write a story for The Pride. Also, we were not informed that Thè Pride has any interest in writing an article for the PCN until Sunday late night before the staff writer's deadline. As you stated in your response, we should make it our responsibility to keep constant communication with the paper. But than what is the job and responsibilities of The Pride than? The publication lacked a story, acknowledgment of who was involved, the time, place and location of the PCN and the staff writers name for accountability. The pictures of the production published last week did not explain the content of the Pilipino Culture Night that highlighted issues within the Pilipino-American community and experience, especially on this campus. As the cliché goes, a picture says a thousand words. On this campus itself, those photos posted without any context reflect a misinterpretation of our actors/actresses, the student organization and the Pilipino Culture itself. As a student organization, there are standards of excellence that we expect from our student paper. That is to reflect and accurately inform our campus community. We suggest if that an article lacks content arid is not ready to be published, than it should not be approving for the publication. Kamalayan Alliance feels that The Pride has misinterpreted our event...[continued online at www.thecsusmpride.com] -Diana Wong PCN Coordinator Dear Pride, This is in reference to this week's "The Pride" about Pilipino Culture Night. Those two pictures should have had an actual "article" because there was "meaning" to the event that couldn't be described by a picture alone. The article about beer seems to be more important than the event but from my perspective the PCN was more important because it addressed cultural and heteronormative issues. It's sad there's nothing about it and the picture didn't include all of the performers and show their hard-work. -Lan Giao Nguyen President Vietnamese Student Association Dear Pride, This letter is to regard the school's newspaper about Kamalayan Alliance's Pilipino Culture Night. There is only two pictures to represent the PCN but there isn't any details about the event that was performed at school. As one of the performers from Pilipino Culture Night. I am disappointed at the fact that there isn't any description to explain why PCN happened. Hope you would do a better job covering the school's events. - Anthony Lao Dear Pride, I find it deeply disturbing that "The Pride" devoted so little space and effort to the coverage of CSUSM's first Pilipino Culture Night. After all the hard work that both they and myself put into the success of the show, we deserve equal if not more extensive coverage in comparison to the "Beer of the Week" of "Drink of the week." Considering, a large demographic of the student attending Cal State San Marcos are not of legal drinking age. And social issues should be in a more prevalent spot light. Also, I feel due to the current political turmoil that is ensuing the Philippines coverage of the first annual PCN should be of the utmost importance, because it shows the strength and support of a culture, especially from thousands of miles away. In order for "the Pride" to be viewed as a legitimate school newspaper, like the "Daily Aztec," Real News stories should be covered, not necessarily the typical college stereotypes. Cultures should be exalted, news should brought eyes should be opened. By the way, I'm white. - Bryce Griffin Dear Pride, In this week's "Pride" article on Pilipino Culture Night, there are just two pictures about he 2-night performances and no content. It's a disappointment that the only thing written are the captions for the pictures without names. The individuals who directed, assisted, and participated in the making of this production that took many months of their lives to plan and rehearse, and nothing was written about the event, there hard work their sacrifices, or even what issues were acknowledged (homosexuality, ethnicity, culture). All that was on the page with the pictures was a half-page spread on the "Beer of the Week," and even THAT had written content on it. "The Pride" should write more things that make us more culturally diverse instead of pointless things like makeup, beer and movies. Besides, when has there ever been a newspaper with only pictures and no written accompanying article? Unheard of... Sincerely, -Darlene Doan VP Vietnamese Student Association Dear Pride, You have failed to address our needs and concerns involving the cultural diversity on the Cal State San Marcos campus. In the CSUSM mission statement, it states that all walks of life will be assisted in their college career. My concern is that that Kamalayan Alliance put on their first Pilipino Culture Night and the media exposure was minimal. The excerpt, or what you decidedly wrote as an "article," was on the back, the very last page of "The Pride." If anything, a large diverse event on campus should receive media attention, as well as be on the front page, instead of other worthless articles. This disheartens me because you put no thought or effect into the feelings Dear Pride, With all do respect, we do not appreciate how the Pili- students have over this issues. All the time, dedication, effort for over pino Cultural Night section in this week's newspaper did not explain a month was utterly ignored by the media community. The newspaper the importance of the event. We find it very disrespectful that you and this community, including the campus belonging to us, and our would arrange it to be on the same page as the "Beer of the Week" opinions which matter. You also do not explain the event, as well as articles, when you wrote more about alcohol, and only 27 words about failed to address any information about the event, leaving students lost in the abyss of their own questions. - Jennilyn De Jesus B.A.P.S. PCN. It didn't even have contact information! - Krystal David Fundraising Chair Where's the Pride's quality in reporting, that áll students should expect from their campus paper? Where's the content for multicultural events on campus? Isn't a campus paper supposed to report campus events? Where was the coverage of CSUSM's 1st ever PCN (Pilipino Culture Night)? This was no quick 50 minute event during the University Hour. This was a 2-night weekend affair that required months of preparation. It was student produced, directed, performed production that covered over 2 hours. Ifindit disheartening that when we "chatted" at the "President's Dinner for Student Leaders" you said, "The event would only be covered if a reporter was in the audience ." If a reporter attends an event, it must be an event that they are particularly interested in. That explains the lack of content for the "Black History Month." That's disturbing! Two pictures and 27 words is all PCN received. Let's not forget that the picture depicts all the male participants in drag! The lack of content was malicious & hurtful to members of the LGBT community on campus. You've just recreated, reinforced and perpetuated the misinformation Kamalayan Alliance was trying to address. Here's a solution: have the secretaries, scribes or historians of student groups submit an article of an event they have created. That would be a win-win for everyone: the Pride gets 'real' inclusive content and the secretary, scribe or historian gets credit for their work. I find it alarming that in the absence of diverse content, the Women's Center and C3 have to create their own publications. Call it freedom of the press to write and cover what they please but imagine if the tables were turned? What direction will unbiased reporting turn to next, rallying support for opposition leading towards the dismantling of a resource center? -Jay Franklin LGBTA President Kamalayan Alliance Political Chair ^ �Last week's key: [p A D R E s | Courtesy of The Pride ACROSS 3 A holey baseball for the beach. 5 Summer time trees. 7 .Vac a t i ons^ aw§y f rpm home. 10 Yellow circular ball of fiery doom with spots. 11 7-11«s cold drink of choice to escape the heat. . 13 Summertime beatle. 14 The last month of Summer. 16 Footwear of choice for sunny days. 17 Escape the city and spend the night under the stars. 23 Escape the heat with this cool contraption (abbrev.) 24 Frozen lolipop of sorts. 26 Billiards alias and bakyard waterhole. 28 Source of heat on a cold summer1s night at the beach, 29 Small summer fruit. 30 Favorite San Diego destination to escape the heat. 31 Summertime stove top of sorts. 34 Great movie with Pacino, Kilmer and Deniro; also the by product of a sunny day. 36 Mix some ice cream and soda to get this. 37 Cool dessert for hot summer days. 38 Summer time lunch outing. 39 To gander at the constellations. to stay hydrated. 4 Summertime festivals. 6 Famous rapper and summer time beverage classic. 7 A sleeveless t-shirt for the hottest of days. 8 Summer time pants. 9 Result of too much sun exposure. 12 Cool spots out of the DOWN sun. 13 Independence day's 1 A surfers playground. month. 2 Must have refreshment 15 Colored ice shavings in the palm of your hand. 18 Large flower with tasty seeds. 19 Large seedy summer fruit. 20 Beverage of choice for entrepreneurial neighborhood children. 21 BBQ classic. 22 Sunblockfs potency unit. 25 Summer sport born from tennis. 27 Colorful1 explosions of light. 28 Essential sand castle builderfs tool. 32 Not so formal summer suit for women. 33 Slurpeefs not so distant cousin made of frozen water. 35 Must have at the pool. �Undertown I t s W THAT I M li'T M6S> * THES^AMS « M T NOW By Greg Bish op «= Sir, H ^wcve«...

Hundreds of students and professors overflowed University Hall Plaza to partake in the 5th annual International Fair. High winds were blowing the smoke from the grill, but that was not enough to discourage students from the good times. Long lines for yummy free food were the norm. Patrons snacked on their treats of German Bratwurst, Greek salad, croissants, taquitos, a variety of colorfully decorated cakes, and much more. Entertainment was non-stop, and not always planned. During the West African rhythms preformed by the TAM TAM African Drummers, the featured dancer invited spectators to join in the dancing. CSUSM students were more than happy to step up. Two students showed off their moves with a spectacular break dancing show. Volunteers treated the audience to a cultural costume fashion show, along with a demonstration of Mexican dancing, and a demonstration of Israel-influenced group dancing that included audience participation. Fair festivities also offered martial arts/self-defense demonstrations with students. University Global Affairs Committee sponsored the event along with Global Affairs Office, Associated Students Inc., Student Life & Leadership and a co-curricular funding award. Photos by Pamela Castillo /The Pride Concert Review # Did somebody say Snow Patrol? Vega4 &: Augustana at the House of Blues BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer If I had a dictionary to define my collective concert experiences throughout my lifetime, it would read as the following: Augustana: San Diego-based band, and one of my all-time favorite bands. San Diego House of Blues: one of my favorite venues, period. That said, the sold-out Augustana show at San Diego House of Blues last Saturday night should have been no-brainer and should have gone down in the dictionary as one of my favorite concerts ever. Unfortunately, though, that was not the case. On their final night of touring the states, a sweaty grip of Irish, Canadian and Kiwi musicians promisingly known as Vega4 mounted the stage as the soldout venue swelled with estrogen. With beer in hand, Vega4 frontman Johnny McDald wooed the plastic crowd while the lyrics to "Traffic Jam" hung against the bright foggy air. Priming the audience for the headlining band, Augustana, Vega4 attempted to bring their "A" game, but it sounded as if something got lost in the execution. What I had hoped would become the beginning of a musical romance, quickly fizzled out throughout their set as in my opinion, Vega4 progressed into nothing more than a Snow Patrol cover band. Though I can appreciate the notable chunks of existential lyrics they proclaimed, the extra sparkle and magical connection between Vega4 and I were nowhere to be found. Continuing their set with "You & Me," Vega4 dedicated the poignant tune to Augustana, their newly found road buddies. With Jared Palomar (bass/vocals) and "South" (drummer) of Augustana sitting backstage stage right, they, along with a handful of stagehands, rocked out to the mellow and slightly poppy ditty. Johnny's seductive vocals were a pleasant distraction from the harrowing audience, but were hardly enough to grab my full attention. "Billions of Lights," a delicate rock song, premiered a beautiful medley of lights flashing and dancing all over, before segueing smoothly to the members of Augustana waltzing onstage with a large candleholder and a light-post on which the drummer of Augustana entertained a brief pole dance. With the house lights dimmed, the audience swayed in a sentiment of nostalgia. As the gathering sang along with the foreign quartet, Vega4 rounded out their set with their ever popular single "Life is Beautiful" which has been featured on "Grey's Anatomy" and "One Tree Hill." Though Johnny (vocals/guitar), grew louder. A few seconds later, Gavin Fox (bass), Bryan McLel- the curtains lifted to reveal the lan (drums) and Bruce Gainsford striking members of Augustana. (guitar) are off to a good start Huddled in their own individual with their latest album "You & areas on stage, the band opened Others," I feel that they still have with "Wasteland" off their 2005 a long way to go. album "Stars and Boulevards," As the stage cleared and a fresh and then continued the set with coat of instruments and gear "Bullets" and "Hotel Roosevelt." adorned the stage accordingly, Even though all the right notes the chants of anticipation only came at all the right times, some- thing was off for me in the world of Augustana. Lacking virtually any relationship with the audience, watching the 5 lanky guys play, I couldn't help but get the feeling that they were bored. As the hour-plus long set droned on, I was sadly disappointed as I felt the showmanship of Augustana was nothing more than a poor rendition of their two-year-old CD. moto by Sophie Brink / The Pride �A big splash at SeaWorld BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Seaworld is one of the most popular attractions in San Diego* This spring, Seaworld is offering a couple of new shows and other exciting things to do. As a platinum passport number, I visit Seaworld many times a year. If there is something new going on, I have to be there as soon as I can. When I heard about the new spring shows, I began to plan my next Seaworld trip. Thefirstnew show I saw was "Sea Lions Tonite." The preshow, featuring a janitor named Biff, is almost as entertaining as the actual show. In the preshow, we got to watch Biff sing and dance to a lot of classic songs - from "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" to "You're the One That I Want" from "Grease." In my book, there is almost nothing more entertaining than watching humans dance around ~ even unskillfully. Wait. Especially if it is unskillfully. Biff did not disappoint. The actual show featured everyone's favorite sea lions Clyde and Seymour and the trainers doing spoofs on other Seaworld shows and easily recognizable TV shows such as "Survivor" and "American Idol." Unlike the Sea Lions day show "Risky Rescue," the night show prominently features Ottie, the adorable sea otter. At the end of the show, one of Seaworld's walruses spits water at the audience members sitting in the front center rows. I have to admit, there is a certain schadenfreude watching other people get soaked by animals. "Shamu Rocks" is the new killer while night show. This 20-minute show features Shamu doing a lot of fantastic behaviors. Since killer whales are found in every ocean in the world, the show features rock songs from all over the world. Whereas the daytime show "Believe" involves a lot of narration and explanation, "Shamu Rocks" is pure energy — one killer whale behavior after another. The four rotating LED screens with the lighting almost steal the show from Shamu. Don't go to this show if you are epileptic. As a Seaworld veteran, I recommend walking out of Shamu Stadium about 30 seconds before the show actually ends, especially if you are claustrophobic. The stadium seats 5500 people, and if the show is especially packed, you will spend a lot of unnecessary time just trying to get out of the stadium. Another new feature this spring is the Discoveries Gift Shop. In this shop, you can construct an animal friend complete with any type of outfit you could possibly imagine. First, you pick an animal off the wall. Next, the gift shop employee will fill it with cotton, and then you can dress k up. It is a tad on the expensive side, but 10% of your entire purchase goes to Seaworld's conservation fund. Park visitors can also enjoy the Sky Blast Fireworks Show at the end of the night. This is a special treat, considering that fireworks were banned from Mission Bay last year after an environmental group threatened to sue Seaworld for polluting the bay. An unbiased third-party research group cleared Seaworld when it concluded that the fireworks did not pollute the bay.

After the couple settles down for land and Leatherface in terras of intensity" an uncomfortable night in their shabby room, David Luke Wilson, star of the new horror flick discovers some videotapes, low-budget slasher films "Vacancy," deadpanned when asked to rate the setting of which seems eerily familiar. When himself as a "horror actor" "No, I can't rate the couple realizes that their room has been used for myself" he continued. "I'm going to have to gruesome snuff films, that the room is fitted with leave that up to the people who go see it and hidden cameras, they must work together to escape a grisly demise. the critics, preferably the people who "It's not a psychological thriller and B iieeit" ; l^w x V it's not a full on, you know, gory 'Saw'type movie" Wilson stated. He also explained that while he felt a sense of accomplishment in challenging himself to explore in the unfamiliar terrain of the horrorflick,"in terms of returning to the genre, the truth is it's more fun to work on comedies and it's easier and I feel more at home doing them and even dramas." Yet, Wilson leaves the door open for a possible return to the slasher scene: "If something were to come along, I would definitely give it a shot again." The Dallas-born-and-raised actor spoke about how he got into acting: "I didn't really know what I wanted to do in I college. It all just kind of came together. : I was an English major and an Art History m* minor. Then Owen and Wes Anderson got t : 'Bottle Rocket' going, and so I just started working on that. But I was interested in the newspaper business and I was interested in photography and really interested in the movies. But I don't think if it were for those j ig guys, I don't picture myself having moved I g out to LA or moved to New York and just taking a shot at it. It just seemed kind of not within the realm of possibilities, but I never really had a game plan in terms of what I was - going to do.

The endless summer sun has managed to tan the bodies of thousands all year, and fellow Cougars have been fortunate enough to sport thongs and shades for both fall semester of2006 and spring semester of 2007. Therefore the beer of the week cannot be labeled premature. Alaskan Summer Ale unmistakably identifies with current weather conditions and the winter that took a season o ff Alaskan Brewing Company brews Alaskan Summer Ale in Juneau, Alaska. The brewery has won more than 33 medals and awards since establishment in 1986. The brewery prides themselves on living with the land instead of at the expense of the land.

"Sometimes people say, 'Gosh, why don't you do more stuff like "The Tenenbaums" or "Bottle Rocket" as opposed to "Charlie's Angels" or "Legally Blonde"?' I wish I were Sean Penn and could just kind of do whatever great projects I wanted, but that's just not the reality of the situation, but if anything, it's really helped me. I didn't1 study acting. I didn't go to film school. I've learned on every single movie I've done, whether it was something like 'My Dog Skip' or something kind of like 'The Tenenbaums.'" "What I have to remind myself," Wilson continued, "sometimes if I ever get down about it or start to think I wish I could get that kind of role or I wish I was in 'The Departed' or something, that I'm still relatively young at 35. The truth is if I get more successful and more recognizable and am able to do well in good movies, then I hope that that kind of thing will come together; but I might just have to write it myself." So far, Wilson has in fact written at least two screenplays, one of which has been made into a film. '"Wendell Baker' ['The Wendell Baker Story'] is something I wrote and directed with my brother Andrew," Wilson elaborated, "and Owen is [brother Owen Wilson] in it, and Eva Mendez plays my girlfriend. It?s about a good-natured con man who is trying to turn his life around and get his girlfriend back with the help of these two old men that he's try ing to help." Aside from his screenwriting, Wilson said he would also like to form a production company with his brothers (Owen and Andrew Wilson), but he doesn't want it to be a vanity project. He'd like to discover new talent, "just kind of like what James L . Brooks did for us, just kind of finding us and seeing our short film and helping us along" Wilson explained. Until then, fans of Luke Wilson will have to be content with "The Wendell Baker Story," which opens in theaters May 18 and "Vacancy," which opens April 20. the sea, climbed treacherous mountains, and cave dived around the world. The fine men and women of the brewery have created an excellent summer ale delight, The carton pictures a sea reflecting the bright orange hues of the sunflankedby deep brown mountains as a pack of killer whales play in the ocean. The cardboard packaging contains six 12 ounce glass bottles. The brown glass bottles are capped with peculiar magenta bottle caps. Slight odors of malts, hops, and yeast radiate a pleasing aroma after the magenta cap twists off the bottle. When the beer is poured into the glass, it clearly exemplifies an amber tint similar to a sunset across Palm Court at CSUSM while displaying a one-inch thick head. The ale has an alcohol by volume of 5.3 percent, and the brewery recommends pairing the brew with Alaska crab, halibut, or salad. The summer ale smoothly enters the mouth. During the climax of the swallow a quick and punchy taste of malts, hops, and yeast penetrate the taste buds. The summer ale falls into the dark abyss of the throat just as it has entered, smooth and nonchalant. Gladly satisfied the stomach moans in fulfillment as the empty glass clumsily settles on the wooden surface, Alaskan Summer Ale should be chilled thoroughly before consumption. A pretest was conducted when the summer ale was only slightly chilled. The taste buds screamed cruelty and threatened to sue.

Shirley Temple that is. A deliciously sweet mocktail, or kiddie cocktail as it is affectionately named, the Shirley Temple is a classically old-fashioned and highly sophisticated drink. Fondly named after the adorable curlytopped child actress, Shirley Temple, the non-alcoholic beverage was created by a bartender at the restaurant, Chasen's, in Beverly Hills, Calif, during the 1930s. Because Shirley Temple was so successful and so loved as a child actress, she was invited to many a Hollywood party and wined and dined with Hollywood's best—minus the wine, that is. Temple was a regular guest at Chasen's during the height of her career, and because of her age the bartender fashioned the dazzling pink beverage to accompany her amidst the surplus of adult Holly wood stars. Originally made with two parts ginger ale, one part orange juice and a splash of grenadine, it is highly common for the orange juice to be omitted. The more familiar recipe for a Shirley Temple is 8 ounces of 7UP or lemonlime soda, 1 ounce grenadine syrup, and at least two decorative Maraschino cherries. Served over ice in a highball glass, the popular drink can also be garnished with a fresh orange slice. Though it may be ridiculed as an ageold kiddie drink, this fizzy cherry-flavored fabrication will never disappoint and will gleefully please even the most spoiled inner-child. For those who dare to turn the lipsmacking mocktail into a cocktail, the most scrumptious recipes are for a "Hard Shirley Temple," and a "Dirty Shirley." A "Hard Shirley Temple" consists of 1 !/2 ounces of Malibu Rum, 4 ounces of 7UP and a splash of grenadine, and is served in an old-fashioned glass over ice. A "Dirty Shirley" is made up of 1 ounce vodka, 5-6 ounces club soda or Sprite, and an ounce of grenadine, served in a highball glass on ice. With so many yummy options, it would be hard to go wrong with good oY Shirley.

Present at the forum were CSUSM students, faculty and staff and various community members. Each attendee was given an orange and maroon ribbon to wear in honor of Virginia Tech victims. Beginning at noon, those present for the start of the forum honored the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy that occurred on Monday, April 16, with a few moments of silence. President Karen S. Haynes opened the forum by saying, "We're obviously all here today as a university community coming together to share our grief, our concerns of personal safety, and ask questions as we go forward. . ." President Haynes continued by saying, "I'm sure many of yoù in our campus community have personal connections to Virginia Tech, and so it brings another dimension for you ; to this conversation. I was asked just now by the press, whether this was our first or our last step in this conversation; I'm sure that there will be many steps, public, formal, personal and private as we continue to think through the implications. One other public step that we will take as a university is to contribute to the Hokies Memorial Fund that will help for counseling and other services to the victims and their families."

For the third straight year in a row, CSUSM has placed first in the Grand Champion category. Cougars remain victorious, as they beat out over two hundred schools across the country. RecycleMania consists of a ten-week competition between campuses throughout t he nation. There are four categories of competition. These categories are largest amount of recyclables per capita, largest amount of total recyclables, least amount of trash rate. The competition mandates measurements in pounds on a weekly basis throughout the duration of the competition. For their e fforts, campuses receive trophies, awards, and certificates. RecycleMania began in 2001. Ohio University and Miami University were the first and only two competitors for the first competition. In six years, the competition h as nearly doubled every year and the contest h as created new categories for competition. I n 2007, 201 campuses competed in t he competition.

Volunteers asked students to sign a standard letter addressed t o Senator Jack Scott that made three demands of California Legislature and Governor. The letter d rafted by ASI read, "Fund the necessary $65 million for the CSU, freezing fees at the 2006-2007 levels. Fund the $24 million Student Services Initiative. Restore the $7 million on outreach." According to the letter, "These actions will ensure that the California State University remains accessible to all Californians."

Today is not any different than the rest to Marjorie Mina. As she makes her rounds through the store, she asks her clients how they are doing and if they may need any assistance. Her clients though, are not customers of Wal-Mart; they are Wal-Mart employees who have developmental disabilities. As a job coach for Community Interface Services of Carlsbad, Mina works with eight higher functioning adults. In Mina's case, four out of eight of her clients work at WalMart and have overlapping hours so Mina makes her rounds and works one on one with her clients during their shifts. As a job coach, Mina works under Community Interface's Supportive Employment program. Mina began working with CIS after she graduated from CSUSM in 2004 as a Human Development major. In the three years that she has been working for CIS, Mina has learned that her clients are excited to have a job. "We help them be a part of the community," Mina said. "If they take a bus to work, we teach them what to do if they get lost, or what happens when there's a disaster at work." When Mina started working with her client Chris Deddo, she learned that whenever Deddo was faced with a question from a customer to which he did not know the answer, he would walk away. Mina would then interfere and show Deddo that he could ask another associate for help. What Mina says she enjoys the most is, "I can watch them grow." Job Coaches at CIS work with clients who work at Pet Smart, Noah's Ark Learning Center, Wild Animal Park and Target among other employers. Two other major departments of CIS include Supportive Living and Independent Living. In 1991 when Kim Larsen graduated from CSUSM as a Business Major, she was quickly promoted to associate director. Bruce Willbrant, another alumnus of CSUSM, was not sure where he would live after graduation when he found a classifieds ad for Community Interface's Supportive Living department. In the Supportive Living department, employees live with a roommate who has a developmental disability. Willbrant thought, "I'd get paid and I'd have a place to live." Today Willbrant assists his clients as an Independent Living Supervisor. Willbrant .

Chief Hackenberg responded: "We have plans in place. We have the ability to lock down areas on campus from dispatch that would help to isolate any kind of shooter activity. We also have a system where we can communicate through our classrooms under times of duress that will also be helpful in letting people know exactly what the situation is at the time." Dean Manship also explained to the audience that there is a system being finalized this very moment that would allow the university to send text messages to students in case of an oncampus emergency or life-threatening situation. Another main point emphasized in the forum was that of mental health care, and Carlene Smith addressed that, ensuring students that there are services available at SHCS for students to take advantage of. In hopes to reach the rest of the student body, Hackenberg said, "We have a very safe campus here; that's both by perception and statistics bear that out, and we always need to keep that in mind. We want students to be very aware of any rumors, possibilities, possessions of a weapon on campus, or anyone who might be planning these types of things. We just want to encourage them to report those things to the police department."

Haynes, and Gregory Toya (Associate Dean of Students) and a few other representatives from campus organizations. The central focus was to first remember and honor the Virginia Tech tragedy and to second address the campus community about our own safety precautions in place and how they are being practiced and improved. In addition to offering a safe environment for an open discussion to inquiring students and staff, the forum also hosted a guest speaker, an alumnus from Virginia Tech affiliated with the San Diego chapter of Virginia Tech Alumni. She shared a poignant testimony about her experience at Virginia Tech and how the tragedy had impacted her and her family's life, as her younger brother currently attends Virginia Tech. After the guest speaker, Gregory Toya opened up the floor for the audience to ask questions. The first question asked addressed what plans CSUSM has in place "ft: ' ^ plans his clients' budget and assists them in finding and purchasing affordable housing. When speaking of helping clients attain jobs, Larsen said, "Our goal is to help them become more independent. So we may start out 100% there, at the orientation, interview, and then when they get the hang of it, we'll start fading out." Willbrant found his education at CSUSM to be extremely helpful. "The thing about San Marcos is that they have this unique major, Human Development, which is ideal, along with sociology and psychology." Denise Sumlin a graduated as Liberal Studies and Sociology double major with a focus in Child Development. As an Independent Living Counselor, Sumlin says she helps maintain independence. An Independent Living Counselor may assist clients in daily living such accessing community resources or gaining social skills. Sumlin added, "At school, it's all about the books. It's test after test. Here, it's nothing but hands on. It all comes back to you. I thought, I will never use this again in my life! But I am putting a lot of it to good use. You do get a chance to use some of that." Christine Sheppard, Supported Employment Supervisor, finds that the employees at CIS enjoy coming to work each day. Sheppard said, "They are highly dedicated to the service recipients and they have the ability to cooperate and work well with others." Shannon Foster works as a Resource Counselor. In 2000, she graduated from CSUSM as a double major in Psychology and Sociology. She spends her days in the community with her clients. On Mondays, she works out with her clients at the YMCA, and on certain Fridays, she takes her clients to the mall for some shopping. Foster assists her clients in their work and social skills. "We learn what their dreams are then we help to accomplish their goals," Foster said. Sally Serrin, a current student of CSUSM decided to work at CIS in order to fulfill an internship requirement for her Sociology course. Serrin says that she's been able to help where it's needed. Since Serrin began working at Community Interface, she has gained experience with doing research for the company, working with clients and completing market audit reports among other things. "Everybody here is so positive," Serrin said, "with a good attitude about a lot of things." From RECYCLEMANIA, page 1 and San Diego State University were amongst the 201 universities in the competition. CSUSM first entered the competition in 2005 and placed first in Recycling Rate with a rate of 44 percent. The Recycling Rate category compares the weight of recyclables to the weigh of trash. In 2006, CSUSM won the Grand Champion award, placed second in the Per Capita Classic, and finished first in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. Campuses that fall into the Grand Champion category demonstrate an excellence in recycling and reducing waste throughout the entire competition. The Per Capita Classic compares the amount of recyclables to the number of students in a given campus. The Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category compares the amount of recycled corrugated cardboard to the number of students in a given campus. For the 2007 contest, CSUSM brought home another first place victory in the Grand Champion category. CSUSM also placed second in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. A recycling culture throbs throughout CSUSM's campus. Cougars consistently recycle spent products in easily accessible bins. "I recycle every single thing and I make sure it goes in the right recycle bin," said Liberal Studies Major Senior DeLacy Brown. "I can be standing anywhere and turn around and find a recycling bin." "It feels good that my school has won the RecycleMania competition three times in a row. It's really cool that our school which is in southern California cares that much about the environment," said Arts and Technology Major Freshmen Jake Gossett. "Recycling is about giving back to the community. Given the fact that Cal State San Marcos has won three years in a row giving back to the community has been a major priority to us," said Psychology Major Senior Logan Goolsby. "It makes me glad to go to a school where students take the extra time to use the blue bins for recycling. It would feel weird not to recycle because the bins are everywhere," said Liberal Studies Major junior Jenny Bigpond. The contestants for next year's competition will most likely grow in number. Previous contenders will sharpen their recycling skills. However, given the current trends, Cougars have a bright f uture and foreseeable victory in the RecycleMania 2008 competition.

The competition was stiff, but Justin and Sandy devoured their way through huge pieces of watermelon and won the preliminary rounds. Rossiter and Betancourt battled against each other for the championship. Grunting and growling, Rossiter ripped red chunks of watermelon from its green rind while Betancourt trailed close behind. The crowd cheered in favor of Betancourt, but Rossiter gulped his way to the championship. Students at the event also took part in signing a large red poster, among others, that students will send to Virginia Tech. The poster reads, "Our deepest sympathies to Virginia Tech from the students of Cal State San Marcos. Other posters read, "CSUSM honors Virginia Tech." Sara Gallegos stated, "The final event that they will be at is the Wellness Fair on Tuesday the 24th in the Field House. A fter that we are going to mail the posters to Virginia Tech." Satterfield said, "My overall reaction was that it was a success. We got exactly 100 signatures for our budget letters, which is great! The contest and event was a huge success and I couldn't have been happier with the result." �FEATURES Down to Earth: A green day on a green campus Tuesday; April 24, 2007 THE PRIDE BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Sunday, April 22, was Earth Day. On this special day designed to promote environmental awareness, millions across the nation joined in celebration of Mother Earth. While some people renewed their commitment to reduce, recycle and reuse, others raised money to f und other environmental causes. Historically, it was the concern of Senator Gaylord Nelson, a Democrat from Wisconsin that sparked our country's environmental awareness. He founded the first Earth Day in 1970 after trying to bring environmental awareness to the American population since 1962. On envirolink.org, Nelson said, "Earth Day worked because of the spontaneous response at the grassroots level. We had neither the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators and the thousands of schools and local communities that participated. That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day. It organized itself." America celebrates Earth Day on April 22. This day is also the birthday of Eddie Albert, a former American television star and environmental activist; it also happens to be the birthday of Julius Stirling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day. According to the U.S. government's web site on Earth Day (earthday.gov), the United States is much better off than it was in 1970. The air is cleaner, the loss of wetlands is being reversed, and other important environmental legislation continues to improve conditions. Though things may be looking up, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently reported with 100 percent confidence that global warming is happening, and with 90 percent confidence that it is because of human interference. The IPCC is a panel of scientists from different countries and works closely with the United Nations. Since the report, the United States Congress has been discussing new environmental legislation that would significantly cut down on the production of greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, there are many things that people can do to help save our planet. The government's Earth Day site suggests saving energy by making homes more efficient, turning off appliances and lights when not in use, purchasing "green power" for the electricity of houses, insulating homes, driving less, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs. The site also suggests several ways to use less water. It urges people to use WaterSense labeled products and programs. These products, " will p erform well, help save money, and encourage innovation in manufacturing." (See http://www. e pa.gov/watersense/index.htm for more information on WaterSense.) The site also says to not to let water r un while shaving or brushing teeth, to take short showers instead of baths, to scrape rather than rinse dishes before loading into dishwasher, and to only wash f ull loads of dishes and laundry. It also recommends buying high efficient plumbing fixtures, repairing leaks (one leaky toilet can waste as much as 200 gallons of water every day), and watering lawns and plants during the coolest p art of the day. Another way to celebrate Earth is by using the three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle. To reduce, people should consider buying permanent items instead of disposables, buying products with less packaging, and only «J buying what they need. Reusing is as simple as repairing items as much as possible, using cloth napkins, and reusing boxes, purchasing and reusing refillable pens and pencils, and donating extra things to other people or charities. Recycling is the third component. Many things can be recycled—paper, plastic, bottles, cardboard, aluminum; but, other things can and should be recycled such as electronics, motor oil, printer cartridges, and even compost food scraps, grass and other yard clippings. Cal State San Marcos is particularly earth conscious—our university recently won RecycleMania for the third year in a row by recycling over 59% of all that we throw away. This season, be more environmentally conscious and make environmental resolutions that will save money and our earth. As Captain Planet always says, "The power is yours!" Honoring CSUSM's semi-annual Yellow Ribbon Week BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death annually in the United States and is the 2nd leading cause of death among college-aged students (according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention). The American- Association of Suicidology states that about every 16 minutes, a person in the U.S. takes their own life, and every 39 seconds a person in the U.S. attempts to take their own life. In 2004, the most recent complete data statistics, there were roughly 811,000 suicide attempts, and a total 32,439 suicides. With approximately 80 Americans taking their life each day and nearly 1,500 more Americans attempting to do so, there has got to be an underlying cause for such high statistics, as well as something everyone can do to help. Fortunately for CSUSM students, and the greater San Diego community, there is something that can be done and a way to help. As it has been on campus since the spring of 2003, CSUSM has its very own Yellow Ribbon Club, which is connected with a larger organization: Light for Life. Chris Sanchez, President of the Yellow Ribbon Club on campus, encourages students to not only become more aware about suicide and its warning signs, but also to participate in the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week happening on campus April 30-May 2. With multiple events happen- ing on campus for the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week, Sanchez hopes to educate his peers about the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, the Light for Life Foundation and the Yellow Ribbon Cards that are available at the events and online at www.yellowribbon.org. To kick-off the approaching Yellow Ribbon Week at CSUSM, the Yellow Ribbon Club is hosting its first shoe drive. The shoe drive aims to collect donated shoes from students for a display to appear in front ofLibrary Plaza during Yellow Ribbon Week. A fter the completion of Yellow Ribbon Week, the donated shoes will then be donated to a local charity. The shoe drive will continue through Friday, April 27, and the collections areas are at the ASI Women's Center in FCB 102 and in front of Student Life and Leadership in Craven 3400. "We're going to be having what's now become our semiannual yellow ribbon week where we go out there and we want to encourage students to come see this video we show called 'The Truth about Suicide.' 'The Truth about Suicide' is a video put on by the America Foundation for Suicide, the AFSP. And what they have done is created this video that outlines a lot of the symptoms of depression, suicide and they bring the perspective from real life people who have either attempted to take their life, or who have had friends who have. It is very emotional and I think it's very a ffective," said Sanchez. The majority of the events happening during Yellow Ribbon Week will take place on Monday, April 30, and Tuesday, May 1, during University Hour in the Library Plaza. There will also be two screenings of "The Truth about Suicide" Wednesday, May 2, one during University Hour in Markstein Hall 107 and the second at 5 p.m. in The Clarke Field House.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Paris did not earn the prestigious title of "most visited place in the world" f or nothing; it really is nothing short of spectacular. I picked the less touristy o ff season to visit, and although I did not get to personally witness the typical ' Eiffel tower postcard' view, replete with flowers and lavish greenery, I did get to see the city covered in a f resh layer of snow—a real bonus in my view. It is hard to know where to begin in a city such as Paris, but I suppose a good starting point is a good hotel or hostel location. I decided to stay on the l eft bank of the Seine in a simple and oddly decorated hotel that boasted a less than five minute walk to the E iffel Tower. Indeed the tiny hotel was - very inventively' called 'La Tour E iffel.' An added bonu%to th% hotel was its proximity,, to the métro, which in my opinion is something that a visitor to Paris should pick as a priority when selecting a hotel; you < will «pend a great* deal-of time cruising the odoriferous, bustling lines and it really is a great way to get a feel for the local life. Needless to say, it is advisable to take advantage of the ' Paris Visite' travel cards that o ffer unlimited use of the métro and buses within a specified t ime period. D uring my stay in Paris, I did not adhere to a rigid schedule; instead I picked an area of interest and wandered around seeing what grabbed my fancy. Although I wanted to see all the usual suspects, I planned to spend a great deal of time in the local eateries and coffee shops. Navigating around the l eft bank in the gently falling snow, I visited ' L 'Hôtel des Invalides'—a huge construction orchestrated by Louis X IV t o house wounded soldiers. Les Invalides i s v ery easy to spot due to its unmistakable gold dome. However, the luxury does not end there—wait till you see Napoléon's massive red sarcophagus housed inside the Eglise du Dôme and the amazing array of weaponry housed in the Musée de L'armée. A gentle stroll along the bank of the lazily flowing river Seine later, and I found myself exploring Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle in the Isle de la Cité; the old historical heart of Paris. Notre Dame is incredible with its huge domed roof enveloping the wonderful scent that all ancient buildings have: that of sweet earth and centuries of candle burning. The Cathedral façade itself is amazing, as are the famous cheeky gargoyles that line the panorama o fParis. Of course the view requires a long walk up the many flights of stairs, but it is well worth it. As I crossed over the Seine via the famous Pont Neuf ('New Bridge'), I was tempted to pay a visit to the Louvre, t hankfully I decided against it. To f ully appreciate the cornucopia of a rtifacts stashed within the Louvre, or the converted train station that is the Musée d'Orsay, I definitely recommend devoting the better part of a day to really submerse oneself. Of course, in addition to the more familiar, Paris has many other exhibits for the discerning art lover to wander around; indeed there is j ust so much to see in the whole city. Climb the Arc de Triomphe and gaze down the sparkling Champs Elysées; For shopping, visit the b eautiful 'Art Nouveau' Galleries Lafayette or take the métro to the Abbesses stop and stroll the narrow streets of Montmartre; here you will also find the old white church Sacré Coeur, the two remaining Moulins (windmills) of Paris and of course the nearby red light district of Pigali which contains the famous Moulin Rouge—just be ready to pay about $100 to see the show! I also highly recommend a trip to the ancient Catacombs, a fhuge underground collection of human bones, complete with philosophical French signposts. It is easily reached f rom the Denfert-Rochereau métro station. In all, a trip to Paris is immensely satisfying in every regard, f rom the macabre to the enlightening; ' The City of Light' truly has something for everyone. �BY DAVID CHURCH g s p j f i g f f Pride Staff Write£ The track and field season is getting closer and closer to the end, and CSUSM track and field athletes are making their final preparations for May 24-26, NAIA National Championship.

Week three of the Padres schedule saw them play consecutivetwo-game series, first in Chicago t& face-the'Gubsv then b ackhome t omeet the A rizona Diamondbacks. It is unusual t o take on an opponent f or a two game set. Series are generally three games and sometimes four. The shortened series l eft the Padres t o rack u p f requent flier miles in a hurry. A fter leaving L.A., dropping two of t hree to the Dodgers, the padres flew to the windy city for two days and back t o the west coast for two against the D-backs. Then they flew to Coors field in Colorado t o resume a more fashionable three-game series against the Rockies. The Padres have played eight days in a row of a ten day stint without a break. Since the Friday the 13th stomping at Los Angeles the Friars have gone 4-3 to stand at 10 w ins and 7 losses through April 20. Saturday, April 14 was another gem thrown by Padres ace right-hander Jake Peavy. O r^e again Peavy was dealing, giving u p only one r un on three hits in seven innings. He improved h is record to 5 -0 in h is last six outings against the rival Dodgers. T he p erformance was large since the Padres were blitzed 9-1 the night before. The o ffense was provided by B rian Giles, who homered and drove in two, and new 3B Kevin Kouzriianoff who hit his first home r un as a Padre in the f ourth i nning o ff Dodger pitcher Jason Schmidt. The following day Chavez Ravine proved a tough place t o play as the Padres dropped the series by losing. Left-hander Randy Wolf was staked to t hree r uns early and went on to beat Padres and Chris Young 9-3. The Sunday night game was seen on ESPN and highlighted by the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking t he color barrier in MLB. Robinson played for the Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn and was elected t o the Hall of Fame in 1962. Traveling to Chicago t o play t he Cubs for two games seemed simple enough. The Padres were 7-0 against the Cubs last year but spent huge dollars in the f ree agent market to upgrade their squad. In game one, Padres pitcher Clay Hensley continued h is struggles and the Friars lost 12-4. The Cubs hit three home rims while the Padres hit one; a ninth inning t hree-run shot by Marcus Giles. In game two, Greg Maddux took the hill in his old stomping grounds, Maddux had twotours in Chicago pitching a total of 10 years at Wrigley Field. Maddux pitched well, giving u p three r uns in five innings and keeping the Padres in it. There was not a r un scored by either team f rom the fifth through the fourteenth when G eoff Blum poked a double that scooted under Cubs LF Jacque Jones (San Diego High) glove allowing Khalil Greene to score the game winning r un. Trevor H offman closed the door on the series with his third save of the season in the bottom of the fourteenth. The travel-weary Padres came home for two against the Diamondbacks hoping t o rest the bullpen. L efty David Wells (Point Loma High) matched u p with last year's Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. The Padres had opportunities early but failed to capitalize and Webb went on to set a career high by striking out 13. Wells pitched great, giving u p t hree hits and a walk in seven innings. A 2-2 lasted till the t welfth when the D backs scored three r uns o ff Mike Thompson. The pitching staff was taxed a fter the two games and 26 innings sandwiching a flight f rom Chicago to San Diego. Jake Peavy took the mound in game two of the series and dominated with his arm and his bat. Peavy hit a two r un triple in the third inning to highlight seven early Padres r uns and celebrate his third win of the year, winning 11-6. SS Khalil Greene and C Rob Bowen hit home r uns in the seventh inning to extend the lead a fter the Diamondbacks had battled back to make it a two r un game. A series in Colorado kicked off with an overpowering performance by Chris Young of the Padres. He simply mowed through the Rockies lineup allowing one r un on f our hits while fanning seven in his seven innings of work. IB Adrian Gonzalez continued to lead the Padres offense by swatting a 447 foot bomb to right center. The Padres won 11-1 in the s eries opener. ¡ ¡¡¡il tHrV•^mmf i tv r i ri M Má i m; m m m ^ 2007 Women's Track team Phetos courtesy of CSUSM Athletics SOLARIUMS :_ -" - v - fflffl&E&m&m San «tercos W f e s t í m s t í W B h i .s b www.iTanSanDiego. mrn^^rnm^ •dahl'QfSÎ �Jock Talk With Josh: NBA picks revisited BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Back on October 31, five scary looking guys appeared in this column. Their names were Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, Kyle Trembley, and Josh Sandoval. Their mission: to predict what was going to happen in the 2006-2007 NBA season. Now that the NBA season has concluded, and the playoffs are underway I figured this was the time to look back on those predictions and talk a little bit about the post-season. The N ostradamus . award goes t o Paul for predicting the Toronto Raptors as the Most Improved Team. W hen he sent that pick to me I accused h im of being d runk. I feel safe saying that Paul is the only p erson in the world who thought t he R aptors would b e good. The t eam n orth of the border is t he No. 3 seed in the E astern C onference f acing the No. 6 seeded New Jersey Nets. The Captain Obvious award goes to Mike for predicting t he New York Knicks as the Most Disappointing Team. Even though Mike was the only one of u s to predict the 33-49 season, I still have t o tease h im about the ease of that pick. The Take Back award goes to Fernando for picking the Clippers to go to the Western Conference finals. The C lip Show finishes two games back of the Golden State Warriors for the final spot in the playoffs. The Most Likely to Happen award also goes to Fernando, since he did predict the Suns to beat the Pistons in the NBA Championship. The Pistons are the No. 1 seed in the East and the Suns are the No. 2 seed in the West. The Overzealous award goes to me for picking the New Jersey Nets over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Championship. The Nets have a lot of talent with Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson, but only finished 41-41 whereas the Mavericks had the best record in the NBA this season at 67-15. The Mike and Mike award goes t o Mike for picking Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as the N BA Coach of the Year. The Cavaliers finished with the same record of 50-32 that they had the previous season, but they went i rr kJB mS ' Wh' 1 Write l lllï KMjyi ^ f rom 14 games back and the No. 4 seed to only three games back and the No. 2 seed this season. I still t hink Mike only picked Mike because they share the same first name. The Should Happen But Won't award will be split in half with one half going to Paul and one half going to me for picking Kobe Bryant as the regular season MVP. Kobe's supporting cast, or lack there-of, fell apart this season. Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Chris M ihm, and Kwame Brown all missed time due to injuries and Kobe still got the Lakers into the playoffs. The Joey Crawford Hater award goes t o Kyle because Kyle made a lot of his picks revolving around the Spurs. NBA referee Joey Crawford threw Duncan out of a game towards the end of the season because Duncan was laughing on the bench. Crawford then threatened D uncan to a fight. NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Crawford and r umor is that Crawford's career may b e over. Duncan, meanwhile is worried that Crawford's cronies in the NBA ref society are going to punish his Spurs team. Kyle had the Spurs beating the Mavericks in the Western Finals and then the Heat in the N BA Championship and had D uncan w inning the MVP. Ifyou're keeping score at home, the final award is: Kyle - 1, Paul - 1.5, Me - 1.5, Fernando - 2, Mike-2. Now for my revised N BA playoff picks. The Suns will beat the Pistons in the N BA Finals with Steve Nash claiming MVP. Comments can b e sent t o m e at Sando026@csusm.edu or to the newspaper at pride@csusm.edu.

"There is no plot." With these words echoing in my mind, I settled in t o watch the last performance of " The Bald Soprano," presented by the Visual and P erforming A rts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. I confess I was predisposed t o be disappointed by t he play - not because I don't have faith in t he VPA t o deliver the goods, but because I am usually suspicious of anything which calls itself an "anti-play or parody." I o ften f ind such pieces less humorous t han depressingly misanthropic. "The Bald Soprano," written by Eugene Ionesco, is an odd combination of wit and misanthropy which, though it didn't make me laugh out loud, amused me and pro- Anthony Buonocore (left) as Mr. Martin and Lucia D. Lopez (right) as Mrs. Martin. vided some food for thought. Eugene Ionesco was one of the fathers of absurdist theater. Born in Romania in 1909, Ionesco grew u p in Paris. There he was employed a s a teacher, translator and proofreader, and it was only at the age of 39 that Ionesco tried h is hand at play writing. "The Bald Soprano," Ionesco's first play, was p erformed in 1950. Ionesco's experience learning English f rom a phrase book provided the inspiration for the piece. He found that dialogue within the phrase book, when read as though one were reading a novel, was intriguing in its f ragmentary and absurd nature. The meaning in "The Bald Soprano" derives f rom the fact that the dialogue itself has no meaning. The actors spout o ff insipid remarks that are completely u nrelated to those of the person t o whom they are speaking. Conversation, then, ceases to connect the parties who are conversing, a s they talk a lot but say little. C areful consideration seemed t o have b een t aken by t he cast and crew of t his p erformance t o make t his play appear applicable t o t oday's A merican society while r etaining something of the era in which it was w ritten. The result was a cross-generational amalgamation which lent itself b eautifully t o t he absurdity of t he play. The set was spare, containing bits of f urniture that could have easily existed in 1950s France as in 2007 America, except for multiple television sets showing images of President Bush and Ask Alliant About Education A t o ur S an Diego c ampus, w e offer: • TeachersCHO/CE preparation programs • E arly Completion Option: C alifornia Teaching Credential i n Nine Months • Master's in Education: Teaching, offered with the E arly Completion Option o r online • Master's in E ducation with credential in one y ear • A uditory-Oral Certificate • School and Educational Psychology ¡I S I. • Master's in Education, School Psychology Credential • Doctorate in Educational Psychology • Teaching English t o Speakers of O ther Languages ( TESOL) llllllllIIISSI, • Master's in Education, TESOL • Doctorate in T ESOL • T ESOL Graduate Certificate or CLAD Certificate • Educational Leadership • Master's in Educational Administration • Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management For m ore i nformation, o r t o a ttend an o pen h ouse call I - 8 6 6 - U - A L L I A N T o r email a d m i s s i o n s @ a l l i a n t . e d u MflHHHk Accepting Applications f o r F all 2 0 0 7 INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY G r a d u a t e S chool o f E d u c a t i o n www.alliant.edu/gsoe San Francisco • Sacramento Los Angeles • Fresno • Irvine San Diego • Mexico City • Online Aliant is a private, nonprofit u n i M M California M m m W ir ' r; / opportunity employer and educator.

Directed by Marcos Martinez, the cast of "The Bald Soprano" was divided into two - one first cast playing April 13, 14, and 20, the second playing April 12,19, and 21. Cast two's Jessica Swan made a commendable t urn as the facetious Mrs. Smith, while Omar Yanez b eautifully deadpanned as her staid husband. The irrepressible Mrs. M artin was cheekily p erformed by Lucia D. Lopez, and Anthony Buonocore was likable as her easily excitable husband. Admirably, Shane Barksdaie managed t o stay in character as t he ridiculous Fire Chief without cracking a smile. Although Ionesco's dialogue does nothing t o flesh out the characters, as this is hardly a character-driven piece, the actors did a nice j ob of bringing life t o their roles. Without the spark of life in those who t ry desperately t o communicate, I do not t hink Ionesco's statement about the futility of h uman communication would have rang as t rue as it did during the April 21 p erformance of "The Bald Soprano." �^ Horror BY RICHARD ESPERTI Pride Staff Writer "Vacancy" delivers a h eart throbbing and s uspenseful t hrill ride capable of leaving audiences in fear of overnight stays in small town motels.

This week I picked another local spot to check out. For any San Diegan the Stone Brewery is considered local, but for u s Cougars the Stone Brewery and World Bistro is our neighbor. Not but five minutes f rom our campus is one of the most impressive breweries I have been t o yet. The list of beers is almost endless, so you can imagine how hard it was t o choose one. But I did, and t his week's Beer of the Week is the Stone Smoked Porter. A porter-type beer is much darker then a pale ale or brew of that sort. But it is not as black as a stout beer. At the brewery the color of this beer is known as a dark mahogany. But it j ust looked dark brown to me. It is a smoked porter due to the amount of peat-smoked specialty malt Stone uses. Another interesting fact, which seems to be a trend at the brewery, is that this beer among others is 100% natural. N o additives, no chemicals, no preservatives, no pasteurization, and no adjuncts (which is a fancy word for no rice or corn). I prepared myself for a very bitter beer with a strong bite as it went down. But it was much more subtle than the color led me to believe. My first thought was that this brew is very f ull bodied and rich but not bitter. During the first couple of gulps, I had a hard time distinguishing all of the flavors. But as I got about half-way done with the glass, I could continuously taste chocolate and c offee flavors and a distinct smoky flavor. Even with all that flavor there w as no bitter taste lingering on the back of my tongue. This is a beer t hat I would recommend trying. The Stone Brewery and World Bistro do not j ust o ffer some of the world's finest beers but also some incredible food. I enjoyed their famous Mac a nd Beer Cheese, which was incredible. But on a college budget it looks like I will be eating o ff the dollar menu for the rest of the week. I f you happen to have a lot of extra cash and you want to t ry some interesting food you can order anything f rom mac and cheese to duck tacos. If you have not yet experienced Stone Brewery and World Bistro I recommend it especially i f consider your self a connoisseur of beer. N ot only can you stimulate your palette but you can get a tour of the facilities. Stonef brewery is located at 1999 C itracado^ Parkway, EsCoriJkj^ CA 92029.

According to North County Times, fellow student, Lorena, was lost in a fatal collision on April 21, 2007. Saturday shortly after midnight, she was driving with a male friend whose name was not released, west on the 76 highway during the recent rain storm. Barraza's Toyota veered into oncoming traffic and into a Early Learning Center's future questioned BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer CSUSM's Early Learning Center has provided help for the moms and dads on campus for nearly three years and in the fall, the Early Learning Center will move into a new facility, The Center for Children and Families. The ELC was made to fit the needs of children and their parents who are struggling to get along with college life and a family. The ELC offers a place for volunteer students to work and to become close to the children and their families. But now the bonds that have been made between the employees and children and their families might be broken. Since the Early Learning Center is moving into its new building, the current working staff has not been guaranteed a job at the Center for Children and Families. The Center for Children and Families will open early 2007. The center was funded on tax revenue that came from tobacco smokers which was approved by the First 5 Commission. The Center for Children and Families is licensed to serve 190 children from infants to pre-kindergartners. The total number of families served is expected to be 300. Programs will focus on preparing children for success in many areas of school including: parent education, language, speech and literacy development. Mosetta Rodrigues, an employee of the ELC, said that the center will not be run by ASI any longer, but it will be run by the university instead. "The ELC is separate from the organizations on campus," Rodrigues said. "None of the workers are students here with the exception of three paid student assistants. The foundation will oversee the running for children and families. The ELC will no longer be existing; the new place will be subsidized by funding and run by the Cal State." Rodrigues added, "We are not guaranteed our jobs. We are given a proSee E.L.C., page 3 TUESDAY, M AY 1, 2 007 head on collision. Barraza and her passenger were pronounced dead on the scene.

By the fall of 2008, ASI hopes to complete the construction of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex and Ally Center. The center is still in its early stages, but with a recently appointed committee, ASI will examine the LGBTQIA centers on other campuses and look to other models for CSUSM's center. Former ASI President, Roy Lee said, "It has always been a goal for this university to have this center. Whether it be University operated or ASI, the intent, to my knowledge has always been there. As ASI has grown, questions about the third center being started, seeing as the Women's Center and Cross Cultural Center have been established, the goal for this center's construction and formation began. The ASI BOD has voted unanimously to research and strategically open the LGBTQIA Center by 2008." . ASI Arts and Sciences Representative, Joshua Lovelace .and Bryce Manning, President of LGBTA, have been appointed as the co-chairs for the LGBTQIA Center planning committee. "Our job is to create a proposal for the ASI Board of Directors to review and approve," Lovelace said. "This coming Friday w6 are planning to have a brainstorming session. All students are welcome. We will discuss ideas for a mission statement, programming etc. on May 4 and go from there."

Dr. Washington asked each student to partner up with someone he or she did not know. Each student then discussed in partners, how they felt about difference and real conversation about diversity. Rev. Dr. Washington discussed the terms authenticity and honesty and expressed his hope for students to engage in authentic conversation. "Because we all know that we can be honest, without being authentic," he said. When Rev. Dr. Washington asked the crowd what the students' hopes for the evening were, one student said, "I just hope that we don't have to all come together in order for us to open our eyes to say that we need this. Why do we have to come together? Why can't we just do this on our own? Why do we have to come together and say, 'Oh? Yeah, huh.' We should already be doing this." During the next part of the evening, Rev. Dr. Washington asked students to examine the dynamics of his or her own existence. "What does it mean when there's a woman CEO or a woman vice president where there's never been a woman vice president and now all the people who report to her are men? What does that mean? What are the dynamics that show up when that's the difference?" Rev. Dr. Washington asked. When speaking on race, Rev. Dr. Washington said, "How many folks have ever had a conversation with somebody who didn't want to have it? Does that need for that conversation go away? I have been saying in sessions, we've been talking about talking about race for fifty years but we've not had a real conversation about it." In groups of four, students sat in chairs, knee to knee and engaged in conversation with students they had never met prior to the evening. Each student was given five minutes to identify his or herself through: race, religion, nationality, orientation, ability, gender, class and age. Next, each student answered questions stating what category he or she was most conscious of and why. Students also had to tell their peers of a time when he or she treated others less than- because of who they were. Some students found that they could relate to each other in more than one way. Once the session finished, Rev. Dr. Washington divided the room into two sections. Students sat in rows of chairs, facing each other. Rev. Dr. Washington paced back and forth down the middle and told students that if they felt comfortable, he or she could stand when he asked questions students found to be true to him or her, but students were not allowed to speak. In the act of standing up, Rev. Dr. Washington said that by answering to the questions asked, each student would be a representative of a particular group. With some humor, Rev. Dr. Washington shared with the students, "When they see me, they see big black man. One word. Bigblackman. They say, 'Oh! bigblackman!' They say, 'stay far away.' Now I can't control any of that. But it does matter that I know that." Rev. Dr. Washington proceeded, "If you are a first generation college student, please stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said. "Notice who's with you. Notice who's not." At this, each student who stood, scanned the room, and each student who sat, looked up. "If you ever feared for your safety because of your gender please stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said, "Notice who's with you. Notice who's not." Most of the women in the room stood, and most men sat looking up. Some questions spurred more emotional responses than others. From the experience as a whole, Freshman Bill Rhein said that he would "not take anything for granted anymore." Junior Angela Stubbs, said, "I can't understand why everyone couldn't attend and students had to R.S.V.P? You only find this stuff in college. It's symbolic of what our country feels about it. People are talking about it, but they're not really talking about it." The event was co-sponsored by Advisor Academy and Student Affairs Professional Development Team and included representatives of Student Development Services, ASI and University Village.

We have the amazing good fortune of being in a room with folks who don't look like us, who do look like us, who think like us and who don't think like us. Who come from cultures and histories and families and communities that are like ours and they're not like ours, and that's an amazing world to be in. It's the world that we're in, but often we actually don't look at each other and say, I see you, I hear you, and let's learn from each other. You all, are the future. You're my hope. You're why I do what I do. You have an amazing ability to shape the future. And to shape it in a way that sees difference, embraces difference, and works together in a way that we actually create communities where we see and respect each other." This, Blanshan said, was the reason why each person gathered for an evening with Rev. Dr. Jaime Washington. Rev. Dr. Washington began the evening's conversation by speaking on leadership. "Much of the change that has happened around the world has been done by folks who look like you. Student leaders. On college campuses, and in the world. No major social change movement has ever happened without your influence and your power. I want you to recognize the importance of your role as student leaders today." When Rev. Dr. Washington told students that only 16% of citizens in the United States have advanced degrees, he said, "You will go out for the community." Like most 21 year old college students, Lorena's Myspace is filled with pictures, and personal phrases describing herself. Currently, her Myspace page is filled with postings by friends expressing loss, condolences, and grief. Lorena had just celebrated her 21st birthday on April 6 . Celia Martinez shared, "She managed to fit in with everyone even though she was doing her own thing and being herself. She did not need to pretend to be someone else to feel that shefitin. She just did. Although she is gone, those of us who knew her and cared about her can still hear her distinctive voice, laughter in the air. It is still impossible to accept that we will no longer see her walking towards us on campus, or that we will no longer get those silly text messages from her when she thought about us. She reminded all of us...about some important lessons, to take time and appreciate friendships and to remind people of how much they mean to us because you never know when it will be the last time you get to give them a hug or tell them that you love them. We were all given the opportunity to see her one last time the week before she left us, yet none of us knew it would be the last."

When the ELC moves, it will have a great impact on the teachers who work at the ELC because they have gained close bonds with the children. White added, "The teachers go out of their way to be here and do things for the kids. They [the directors in charge] have not asked what we need for the center. It's distressing that they ignored us in the vision for the new center. It's inexcusable. The kids are being transferred up there. The parents don't know anyone up there. How can parents trust people they don't know anything about with their kids? It's a disappointment. You'd think as a Cal State they would want people experienced, who have been here. Some teachers feel forgotten. As a student I'm disappointed with how they neglected staff here. Staff has always had open dialogue with the directors. They have never given us a meeting with them or shown up at our events." A meeting regarding the ELC and the future of its employees will take place on Tues. May 1 at 5 p.m. at the ELC. From CAMPUS READ, page 1 hand. Kite enthusiasts stretch out the string, mold it with glass, and sand it down with sandpaper to smooth it out. When the kites are soaring in the sky they can reach up to three miles high. There are tricks for dipping and wrapping around the opponents' kites in hopes of snapping their string, retrieving their kite, and achieving ultimate bragging rights. Kabir explained that he could wear gloves for kite fighting, but that it ruins all the pleasurefull satisfaction from the sport. As Kabir demonstrated the sharpness of the string, he stated, "These cuts and stitches are from this. Sometimes my hand is bleeding all over. It [the string] is sharp, but strong at the same time." The kites are made by hand with thin paper, and moist bamboo forms into the desired shape. Kabir has been participating in the sport since he was about five years old, and he now owns over 2000 kites. Professors Sherri Douglass and Pamela Strieker collaborated on the event which was in synch with the campus read and a GEL 101 class. Funding was sponsored by the American Democracy Project and the First Year program. Part of ADP's mission is to enhance civic engagement within our campus community, and in the larger community. After the kite flying demonstration, a book discussion was held for the campus read, "The Kite Runner," a story of a young kite fighter in Afghanistan with immense cultural insights. Professor Pamela Strieker responded with her reaction of the event, "I think the book discussion went well and those present learned a great deal about Afghanistan and Afghani culture and they also learned that in the end, we are all not so different from one another." A few copies of the campus read are still available. Contact either Professor Pamela Strieker, at stricker@csusm. edu or the Office of Community Service Learning located in the Faculty Center in Kellogg Library. From LGBTQIA, page 1 Felipe Robinson-Zanartu said, "The committee will visit different centers and see how they were structured so we have an idea of what to look for and what to model it as. That's exactly how we modeled our Women's Center. We didn't start by making stuff up." Felipe said that the center could potentially provide counseling services or offer a place for students to hang out. "It goes with ASI's core value of diversity, bringing in all types of values, opinions, and serving 100 percent of students," RobinsonZanartu said. Lee said, "I see the center being an inclusive and educational venue where students, any student, may come in. In regard to programming, I think the opportunity that lies ahead is the ability to educate our North County San Diego community about these issues and provide any support and ser, vices." When speaking of the LBGTA club on campus, Robinson-Zanartu said, "They're a very big club on campus that's done a lot of programming with Student Life and Leadership. And with the C3 and with ASI's goals of fostering awareness and education and student life. That's what we want to with the LBGTQIA Center." As of now, Robinson-Zanartu said, "We do have a really tight budget. We have no money allocated toward the center." In order to fund the center, ASI will first look outside of CSUSM. To do so, ASI has hired Rodger D'Andreas as an advisor for the LGBTQIA Center. D'Andreas will also serve as the advisor to the Women's Center. "He's going to look for all the different funding possibilities," Robinson-Zanartu. "This will be via grants and from supplemental funding wherever we can find it. But because he's so good at doing that, that's one of the reasons we hired him. We're looking to have it funded from the outside. Then once we have the budget situation under control, then we could have money put into it." With two centers on campus including the Women's Center, the Cross Cultural Center, and the upcoming LGBTQIA Center, ASI recognized the need for representation among an additional slew of clubs and organizations. At a recent board meeting, ASI's Aamara Ysrael introduced a new position— a Social Justice Officer. "He or she is in charge of creating a Multicultural Committee of all different clubs, whether it be the German Club, the French Club, MEChA, we have a whole list of clubs and organizations, to try to incorporate everyone into ASI and have the multicultural perspective," Robinson-Zanartu said. The position of the Social Justice Officer is appointed by ASI President Caitlin Gelrud and must be approved by ASI's Board of Directors. The position is currently open to any student who would be willing to serve CSUSM as the Social Justice Officer. —i UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SEROEAKT FIRST C lASS (S3PC) W AUD $ 58) 4 954598~-Wotk # 77) 722-23 l (*-Citt Timothy.W«u<J@us atec.acrmy.mil OT/PT/R NURSE CORPS ADN RNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse training available: CRNA, LTHET, C C.

The virtual tours not only allow users to zoom into any place around the world, but it also provides information pertaining to the chosen location. The website claims to provide a multitude of multimedia information "from the web community and popular sources like National Geographic"; users are also provided with "Geographic Web and Featured Content layers as well as layers for 3D buildings, parks, schools, hospitals, airports, shops and more," states the website. For those whom need practical local information, the website also provides driving directions and makes it easy to "layer multiple searches, save results to folders, and share placemarks with others." Book marking or rather, "placemarking" locations, permits users to save the places they have visited along with customized additional information added to the "placemark." It is clear that Google Earth provides a plethora of resources to users around the globe, but perhaps more importantly, it exposes the devastation taking place in Darfur. When the fiveletter word, "S-u-d-a-n", is typed into the search bar, the website displays a world of its own - far from any location one would "placemark" as a vacation spot. The screen shows two types of fire icons: one orange and red, the other completely red. The orange/red fire represents damaged villages and the completely red fire represents destroyed vil- lages. As the destroyed and damaged villages are homes to many, those homes are represented by light and dark blue icons labeling them as either "refugees" or "internally displaced" individuals. Where one would be excited to click on the multimedia icons in any other given location, these icons only unfold the tragedy that has befallen the men, women and children of Darfur. Videos and pictures give testimonies of the people who have been afflicted by the genocide sweeping across Sudan. Upon reading testimonials, seeing pictures and watching movies - the website provides a link to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), where users can find out more information about the crisis in Darfur, how to help, and "bear witness" to the achingly horrible violence that is occurring everyday. The entire world is now able to witness mass genocide - however it is up to users to seek the knowledge.

BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer The Arthritis Foundation invites the community to par- ticipate in its? annual San Diego Arthritis Walk. To be held at Embarcadero Park North on Sunday, May 20, the Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to help the 46 million people with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Arthritis affects men, women, and children of every race and ethnic group and is America's leading cause of disability. Over 700,000 residents of San Diego and Imperial Counties live with arthritis, nearly 3,500 of them children. The Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to honor and to help improve the lives of friends, loved ones, and community members afflicted with the debilitating condition. Funds generated by the event will be used by the Arthritis Foundation in its ongoing effort to "help individuals take control of arthritis by providing public health education; pursuing public policy and legisla- tion; and conducting evidencebased programs to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis," according to the foundation's website (www. arthritis.org). Those who wish to participate in the San Diego Arthritis Walk can register online to form or join a team. Once registered, participants can set up their own personal Web page and begin raising funds using the online fundraising tools provided by the foundation. At the event, according to the 2007 San Diego Arthritis Walk homepage, participants may choose from a three-mile or one-mile walk route; write an inspirational message on the Wall of Heroes; wear a blue "hero" hat if they have arthritis; and enjoy the f un, festivities and f ree health information. There is no fee to register, but a participant must raise a minimum of $100 in order to receive an Arthritis Walk tshirt. The event schedule is as follows: May 18 @ 5 p.m.: Online registration closes. May 20 @ 7 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.: Registration and t-shirt pick up . 8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.: Warm up and announcements 8:30 a.m. - 10 a.m.: 5K Arthritis Walk at the Embarcadero Park North May 30 @ 5 p.m.: Online donations close. Get ready for the 2008 Walk! BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer Going the extra mile: Local Arthritis Walk Image courtesy the Arthritis Foundation Getting a summer job BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Summer is fast approaching. During summer, some Cougars go back to their home dens, some stay here at CSUSM, and some vacation around the world. Regardless of the destination, all Cougars need money during the summer. One way to ensure a supply of money consists of working during the summer. All Cougars should be aware of the basics when applying for a job. Despite the current lack of seriousness in today's college culture, first appearances matter the most. When applying for a job make sure to groom neatly meaning no crazy hair dyes, no overrun sideburns, and no just woke up before coming to interview hairdos. Dress professionally even if the job of interest is the local donut shop. Dressing professionally consist of a dress shirt, tie, dress shoes and slacks for male Cougars, and non-revealing blouses, skirts or slacks, and dress shoes for female Cougars. Keep eye contact, shake hands firmly, and formally introduce yourself to all personnel. CSUSM's Career Center website (www. csusm.edu/careers) offers loads of information regarding summer jobs and internships. One summer job opportunity provided through a link on the website is a job involving "campaigns to stop global warming pollution and promote clean, renewable energy alternatives." Another links offers a job in painting residential and commercial for the summer/The web- site also offers aid in creating resumes and an online interview practice program with over 1,500 mock interview questions. Another website offering advice for job-hunting Cougars is Monster (www. monster.com). Monster has over 75 million registered users. Monster users post their resumes at no charge, allowing interested companies to view them. Interviews are highly important when applying for a job. In addition, Monster recommends further involvement in job hunting outside of just posting a resume. Wendy S. Enelow, a Monster Contributing Writer, explains, "Writing powerful thank-you letters is not just a formality. Thank-you letters are marketing tools that can have tremendous value in moving your candidacy forward and positioning you above the competition." James Gonyea, another Monster Contributing Writer, proclaims "Discover the Work You Were Born to Do" in his article on how tofinda job you will enjoy by answering a set of 20 questions. Career Builder (www.careerbuilder. com) also provides information on jobs and is similar to Monster. A quick search in sales in San Marcos, CA resulted in 13 hits. The 13 job listings offered jobs from selling furniture, toflowers,and even cell phones. Like Monster, the website allows users to upload resumes quickly and free. Post Resume (www.postresume.com), similar to Career Builder and Monster, also allows the postirig of resumes at no charge. The website suggests "Rewrite/update/rework your resume to reflect your current career objectives. Remember that your resume speaks volumes about you, particularly if you're looking to shift gears into a new field in which you have no directly applicable experience. Be sure to note your skills and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring to a job rather than industry-specific experience. And, emphasize transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork, and problem-solving. Also, be sure to highlight prior measurable/demonstrable accomplishments." The upcoming 2007 San Diego County Fair "Salute to Heroes" (www.sdfair. com) begins June 8th and ends July 4th. The event creates numerous opportunities for employment. Such job opportunities include shuttle drivers, stagehands, ticket sellers, and even security positions. The excitement and proximity of the San Diego County Fair smells like a perfect catch for any Cougar. If finding a job seems traumatic and stressful, take into account a real experience from a fellow Cougar. "I was once hired because I looked preppy and had no friends. I rolled in wearing flip-flops, a Volcom short sleeve t-shirt, board shorts and sunglasses. My boss felt sorry for me and hired me," said Business Administration Major Kyle McClellan. So, as the few weeks left of school come to a close, begin the job search now to ensure afinanciallyburden free summer. �Halfofus.com Website of the Week: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer reaches those young people who need help the m ost" Halfofus.com aims to join, support and inform college students about mental health issues, while also allowing students to guide the direction of the site with their personal testimonials and feedback. The website offers students exclusivity by linking students to their own school's specific programs on mental health and depression, and provides students with national resources as well. Topics addressed on the site include: depression, suicide, bipolar disease, eating disorders, anxiety, stress, alcohol use and drugs. One particular service offered through the site is an anonymous screening tool for students to help them understand, cope with and take further action should they feel they have an emotional disorder. Halfofus.com is a "safe space" that provides students with the opportunity to explore their feelings and emotions through useful resources, and presenting advice on how to reach out to a friend, as well as ways to combat depression. . Featured tools on the website include: an action center to facilitate students who wish to get more involved in mental health awareness, with information on how to start an "Active Minds student advocacy chapter" on their campus; an anonymous self-evaluation screening tool that was developed by the Medical Center of Duke University, giving students individualized feedback; "Through Half of Us, mtvU and The Jed Foundation want to initiate a public dialogue to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues on campus and connect students to the appropriate resources to get help," states halfofus. com. Halfofus.com is just one of the many resources available through The Jed Foundation (an organization leading the nation in suicide prevention and helping to educate college students about mental health and mental health services) and ULifeline (a program run by The Jed Foundation). Launched in November of 2006, the Jed Foundation paired with mtvU to create a campaign to heighten awareness about mental health issues and their prevalence on college campuses across the nation by linking students to the right resources. In a press announcement released by mtvU, Half Of Us "represents the reality that nearly half of all college students have felt so depressed they could not function. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, and the number one cause of suicide is depression. In an effort to reverse these trends, Half of Us will initiate a public dialogue that begins to de-stigmatize mental health, encourages more young people to seek out ways to improve their state of mind, and m Mv ass » Tiies •'1 W ed Cilmb in the • • French Grammar ' - Executive's Chair Workshop , "Developing Your .:• lOto 11:50 a.m. Markstein 125 •• Use of Articles & • Negatives* • ' ; .

As one of the most visited places in Morocco, it comes as no surprise that it offers a real sumptuous shopping experience; of course you are expected to haggle hard! In a city full of talented artists of llVilV «MUÍ many disciplines— especially leather working, wood and metals, there is no shortage of venders to try out your negotiating skills and it really is a fun thing to do. Marrakesh is also known as the "Red City," possibly due to the abundance of its ochre colored buildings, and it was the capital of Morocco off and on for a few hundred years. The first thing that a visitor to the place will notice when disembarking the plane, l^il^i is the stunning snow-capped High Atlas Mountains that surround the area; however, the awe does not end there. Beyond the city walls, resides such an unfamiliar collision of smells, sights and noise that it can be tricky to maintain your sense of direction, not good when you are trying to find your accommodations! Donkeys and carts are a major form of transportation, as are diesel powered mini motorbikes, so it is inevitable that extremely potent fumes hit the nose as you meander through the narrow streets. Venders in tiny shops line the streets as do countless motorbike repair shops and you really have to be careful in navigating your way around; people and animals are everywhere and there seems to be no rules with regard to slaloming a motorbike at high speed through the throngs of walkers.* Most streets seem to lead to the famous Djemaa el-Fna, a huge central square full of activity. Here you will find performers of every kind, from snake charmers to story tellers/Animals are everywhere too, donkeys and mules tirelessly haul THE PRIDE their cargo and performing monkeys hop around their owners shoulders. Naturally pick pockets abound and you may encounter a few solicitations for henna hand painting or merchandise, so it is important that you do not become too mesmerized by the fantastical scenes around you. Also overlooking the hive of activity is the ancient 253-ft tall Prayer tower or minaret, of the Koutoubia mosque, a. beautiful structure complete with huge stork nests at the top. Five times a day there is a call to prayer from the minaret which adds to the feeling of wonderment of the place; there really is nothing more beautiful than hearing the first cali just before dawn. Linked to the Djemaa el-Fna is the extensive network of the souqs an absolute must to explore. Everything you could possibly imagine is sold here, including things you would probably not like to imagine, such as leopard skins that you will find in some of the apothecary stalls. However, I believe that it is important to keep an open mind and, above all, be respectful to the Moroccans right to practice what they believe in, you are after all a visitor in their culture. Aside from shopping, I really recommend soaking in other things. Take in the museums and the gorgeous Yves St. Laurent gardens. Wonder at the Moroccan Saadian architecture amidst the Saadian Dynasty tombs and, for the ultimate in relaxation, pay a visit to one of the numerous steam baths or Hammans for an olive soap scrub down or simply sit and people watch whilst sipping delicious mint tea at a café in the Djemaa el-Fna. In all, Marrakesh will provide memories of a timeless place and you will no doubt be keen to return, it really can be a wonderful immersion into an enchanting and exhilarating culture. �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday; May 1, 2007 Jock Talk With Josh: Yankees vs Rod Sox BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I am so sick of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. The sports world loves this rivalry, but I am completely over it. The last straw for me came last Thursday. I was sitting in my COMM 440 class with, Dr. Bud Morris. Every week at that time I'm usually struggling tofinda topic to write about, and last week was no different. My next step at that point is to ask my buddy Mike Millburn for a topic. I respect his suggestions since he's also in the sports business, but I could tell it was a slow sports news day when he told me the biggest story was about a sock. That's right, a sock. Not just a regular white gym sock, but a bloody sock that was worn in 2004. The significance of a bloody sock, you ask? It was worn by Curt Schilling in the 2004 playoffs when the Red Sox came from behind from a three games to nothing deficit against the Yankees before going on to win the World Series. Schilling showed great courage at the time for pitching with a torn tendon in his ankle. The blood on the sock came from his sutured ankle that the training staff did up for him twice during the playoffs. The reason this * sock has emerged almost three years later? Because Gary Thorne, a baseball announcer said that one of Schilling's teammates told him that it was red paint, and not blood on the sock. That was the lead story on the 3PM Sportscenter last Thursday. ESPN spent seven minutes discussing a red sock from the Red Sox. What may be most disturbing is that red sock sits in Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame. When the museum closes at night I can imagine all the baseball head plaques wondering where 3 snnam..Mrm 9 8 6 1 5 the nasty smell is coming from. I can imagine the plaques of Reggie Jackson and Lou Gehrig looking at one another and accusing Babe Ruth as the source of the smell. Then Ted Williams' plaque jumping in and explaining that there's a bloody sock from the Red Sox World Series Championship. I can imagine all of that because the sports world would like you to believe that even the Red Sox and Yanked Hall of Fame plaques don't like each other. Seriously, though. The Red Sox and Yankees played a three game series two weeks ago and all three were on national telecasts, ESPN broadcasted the Friday and Sunday night games while Fox 6 7 2 T he o bjective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the c orrect numbers.

The season is only a month old and both teams have already made more appearances on national television than most other teams will have all season long. Back to the red sock. Thorne actually held an impromptu news conference to discuss the "controversy" once Mirabelli denied ever saying that it was paint, and not blood. A press conference over a bloody sock. I think that may be a sign of the Apocalypse or hopefully the downfall of this played out rivalry.

A native to North County and a UCSD graduate, Martin Storrow preaches a peachy blend of acoustic folk and poppy jams. "I think in college when everyone is so focused on the outcome, so focused on the piece of paper, the result, the grade— [it's important to] just find a fulfillment in the process. Find the fulfillment in every step along the way, and don't worry too much about the outcome," said Storrow. "If you really want it, it will happen," he continued, addressing the challenges of following one's dream and career aspirations. After a long haul oftouring last winter - "150 days on the road," claimed Storrow - he's back in town for a bout of relaxation and regeneration to finish his first ^olo full-length album with producers Peter Spragu6 and Daniel Diaz. "It's been really nice to just be home," said Storrow, "and I think it also helps the art too. Being homfe and connecting with these old relationships that I've had and being in this emotional space of familiarity—that really breeds good art, I think." Anticipated to be released later this summer, some of the highlights awaiting listeners on the yet to be named new album are tracks like "Angel of the Moment," "Midnight Daydreams," and "Ugly." "Everything from songs I wrote six years ago, to songs that I wrote yesterday are going to be on this album," said Storrow. "The songs stem from the same place, which is a very honest place." One of the featured tracks that .will be on the new album is "Angel of the Moment." "For me," explained Storrow, "that song is about all of us in our own capacity to be someone's angel, which I think is such a powerful thought, so I'm excited about that song and what it says." Formerly the frontmanforThe Storrow Band, Martin Storrow is no stranger to the local or even national music scene and his music is as honest and captivating as ever. "I'm sure you've listened to a song and thought: 'that song is about me, that's what I wanted to say, and this person said it.' As a [song-writer] when I hear that, there's a part [of me] that's like 'oh crap, what now?' [Thinking] that now I can't write that song because someone else already said it," said Storrow. "But to be able to do that—to be able to connect—it's not just a destination as much as it is a process, and that's where my fulfillment comes from, from that process...there's no point that I'll reach where I'll say 'I'm done being a song-writer.'" Admitting to having played over 350 shows within the past few years on the road, when asked how he keeps his performances fresh and unique, he replied, "I think the trick to keeping it fresh is a) remembering exactly why I do this, and b) playing stuff that I like and enjoying myself." Entertaining a cozy and intimate listening experience, Martin Storrow's "show slash workshop" is fun and memorable, complete with Storrow's special touch of humor and charm. Catch Martin Storrow at "It's a Grind Coffee House" off of Rancho Sante Fe in San Marcos, every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. through May.

JMthJhe^anticipationof M ay-4-nearing, audiences across the world are getting tickets for the showing of "Spider-Man 3" in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) square off against the New Goblin (James Franco), Venom (Topher Grace) and the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) in what may be considered the best "Spider-Man" yet. At the start of the film, Peter Parker (Maguire) is at the top of his class in school while, Spider-Man is receiving approval from the entire city of New York. Mary sour concoction is also the perfect decoration for any well-manicured hand on any given occasion. This juicy spin on a classic martini could have originated from one of three scenarios in my opinion; the first of which is in the spirit of the evil queen in Snow White, who, as the fairly tale says, tricked Snow White into eating the poisoned apple. The second of which is the telltale biblical story of the temptation of the Eve with apple in the Garden of Eden. Perhaps the creator of the Appletini felt tempted to mess with a good thing (the original martmi). Although none of these possibilities a?e very likely, this sinful indulgence is a sugary twist on the timeless martini, bound to delight and satisfy. Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) is living her childhood dream and is a star of a Broadway show, while Harry Osborn (Franco) is stilWooking to avenge his father's death. With everything going so well, it only seems right that outside forces would begin to play a role and bring in a lot of drama. When a strange black creature from out of this world takes over the Spider-Man suit, Peter Parker becomes a whole new character. At the same time, a new freelance photographer, Eddie Brock, (Grace) competes with Peter Parker in taking SpiderMan's photo. With the addition of Grace, the audience receives a well-balanced cast. Photo by Amanda Andreen I The Pride .With many subtle variations of the newly found classic floating around, my . favorite version of the smashingly appetizing Appletini is as follows: 1 1/2 ounce Smirnoff Green Apple Twist Vodka 1 ounce DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker schnapps Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Fill with ice. Shake well and then pour the mix into a martini glass and garnish with an apple slice or a maraschino cherry, Ah yes,: the Appletini, one of my favorites and soon to be yoursi; Johnny Appleseed sure had the right idea; it is just too bad it took the rest of us so long to catch on. As things begin to settle down in the movie and the storylines are slowly immerging, Maguire and Franco are able to have fim with4heif-eharaeters-by over emphasizing their emotions, which brings humor to the film. With things slowly going back to normal, the audience gets sucked into the heavy dosages of drama instead of the action packed movie viewers would expect. With the longevity of the drama, the film's humor passes the time as well as the scattered battle scenes throughout the film. The best parts of thisfilmare the action scenes - from the spectacular animation Movie Review Image courtesy of Sony Pictures of Spider-Man saving the innocent, to Peter dancing up a storm, to the very well choreographed battles between the good ""guys and the not-so-evil bad guys. The action scenes allow the audience to forget that the story moves slowly. With some amazing one-on-one battles, the finale is what makes the movie what it is, another blockbuster smash. With all the story lines coming to a close, the movie tries to pull tears from the audience as the emotional rollercoaster of Spider-Man and friends comes to an end. And this very well could be thefinalchapter of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. house in reference to a popular BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Jpride Staff Writer * ¡ gggj on Qhxgda oV southern s We. ¡ ¡¡¡I ¡ g j m i | rn I H P | g tass bottles are tinted dark green and : | Friday, night, books in a, mountainous adorned with red and gold bottle caps, stack on the left, bundles of pens and pencils The bottle caps crown a beer with an alcool the right, and a computer screen in the hoi by volume of 4.8 percent.

IntHERnational will become a part of CSUSM next fall, and it will aim to educate students in global issues surrounding the violations of women's human rights. IntHERnational will have a set focus on women without voices and women who are suppressed, abused, murdered or forgotten. Professor Schaffman asked to her class to create a zine. Macias and Schouwe created a zine titled IntHERnational with Barbara Whalen, Randi Leyva and Celeste Lampro. "The assignment was designed to artfully address any women's issues or a topic concerning women," Schouwe and Macias said. The zine focused on women from Afghanistan, Guatemala, Kenya, India and the United States. Each section of the zine informs its readers on women of various regions.

"The importance of having a club like IntHERnational that raises awareness and discussion about women's issues is clear," Schouwe and Macias said. "As IntHERnational relates to greater San Diego, establishing a grassroots connection on campus breeds a more lasting and honest beginning for larger community connections." Schouwe and Macias plan on hosting events including art exhibits and performances by dance and acting groups. In order to help local women and their families, Schouwe and Macias also plan on volunteering with CSUSM students for local nonprofit organizations. "In all honesty, we encourage students, faculty, and any community member to offer suggestions or input as to how we can be most effective as an organization in encouraging people to become more involved in our cause," said Schouwe and Macias. For more information on getting involved with IntHERnational, contact Jennifer Schouwe atschou001@csusm.eduor Alexis Macias at macia005@csusm. edu. Afghanistan section speaks of girls as young as 11 or 12 who have been given away in marriage to repay a debt. The zine also offers information for readers to donate to RAWA, the oldest socio-political organization of Afghan women. The zine also provides information on female genital mutilation in the Maasai community of Kenya. The zine describes how the 5,000 year old practice of removing the entire clitoris and labia is unwanted among women but the practice is the only means of acceptance of women in the community. The zine also features information on women of Guatemala, India and the United States. Following the zine project, each student took part in a performance that included a vigil and an art interpretation of each zine. After the performance, Schouwe and Macias said, "Karen offered her enthusiasm in suggesting we conduct our performance for the entire school. Alexis and I then thought more about the impact our message would have, but on a more lasting level, such as starting a club." an actual weapon loaded with blanks, so there will be noise.

Representatives from a variety of departments, student organizations, and clubs were in attendance, including representatives of the Women's Studies Department, PAN, LGBTA, Triota, and members of ASI. "Without allies like yourselves, none of this would have been possible," said Lissa Lim, co-founder of the Women's Center. The event celebrated the success of the Women's Center and its leading ladies: Morgan Hoodenpyle, Programming and Events Coordinator, Cheyenne Barr, Director of Men's Activism and Outreach, Hermina Ramirez, Director of Women's Activism and From F O R U M , page 1 growing ethnic groups at CSUSM. The growing number of students who want an Asian-American course is on the rise. Graduate student Patricia Guevana said to the 60 students and faculty in attendance, "We have studies for women; there are Latino studies and African-American studies, but we do not have a voice for Asian-Americans." Freshman Bryant Vuong said, "Mostly what we know of our culture is from our parents." The meeting brought up issues of language and how this generation of Asian-American students feels that they have lost or are losing their language as well as their culture. Guevana said, "Not many of you have had an opportunity to take an Asian-American class, and if you From P A I N T B A L L , page 1 won the last four, ending up with a 44 record overall." Currently, the Cougars are ranked 19th in the nation out of 65 teams for Class AA and are hoping Outreach and Lissa Lim, Operations Coordinator. "It seems unfair that the four of us get credit when really it's been a team effort. We have come far this year. Look at us. This is our family. We are here together. We are here because we all beliçve in the same things," Lim said. Cheyenne Barr gave a solo a-cappella performance of a tune that she wrote to honor several volunteers. The ditty was a spin on the Inez and Charlie Foxx version of "Mockingbird." Barr asked guests to stand as their names popped up in the lyrics. The Women's Center distributed 25 certificates of appreciation to student leaders of CSUSM, along with earth toned t-shirts decorated with the image of the growing tree displaying many of the participant's names. About sixty-five invitations were sent out for the ceremony. A slide show featuring volunteers brought the event to a close on a cheerful note and left participants laughing away at all the good memories they had shared while working together. Out of all the events the Women's Center hosted in the past year, Hoodenpyle said, "The most popular event of the semester was the singer, songwriter Ellis, who is a lesbian performer." Following the slide show, guests were asked to check underneath their seats for a purple ribbon, and winners possessing the ribbons received bonsai trees for a prize. Lim closed her speech with a quote, "Margaret Mead was right when she said, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed that's the only thing that ever has.'" have, it has been somewhere else." With high hopes of gaining support of fellow students, Guevana and fellow students passed a petition around the room to gain signatures in hopes of imposing the importance of courses on Asian-American culture on President Karen Haynes and the rest of the CSUSM community. But having courses placed on the agenda is only a starting point. Students also hope to give future students an opportunity to minor in AsianAmerican studies, and potentially even major in it. But the support of fellow classmates might not be enough to gain these courses. Liberal Studies professor Robert Yamashita said, "We can fill the schedule with as many courses as possible, but we cannot teach AsianAmerican courses if the students don't enroll for them." The professors emphasized the slow procedure that would take place to gain courses and the responsibility of those students who want to register for the classes. "It would be a huge step back for all of us if we were to make an approach at adding courses for Asian-American studies and then have three or four students register for the class. They would then take that course off the schedule and add another course at the time slot and we it would be heavy blow to what we are trying to accomplish today," Yamashita said. With high hopes of achieving a course for next fall, the staff members in attendance were able to get a better of picture of how many students are interested in taking a course on AsianAmerican studies. to improve their overall standing. Paintball is ranked the 3rd most popular extreme sport in the United States with over 10 million participants, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. In the past 20 years, paintball has blossomed from a 'war game' played in the woods to a legitimized tournament sport. "People think we wear camouflage and play pretend war out in the forest... it's nothing like that. We play on a regulation sized field, with rules, penalties, referees, spectators, and media. Tournament style play is fast and fierce," said team member Andrew Craig. The Cougars play in a format known as 45-man', two teams consisting of five members each play with a five minute time limit with one flag in the center.

With each proceeding year Cougars paw out more and more money each semester as not only tuition increases but other items such as parking costs increase. Unfortunately, the inflation within the cost of pursuing a higher education does not equal the amount of money Cougars earn. Thus, student loans offer a much-needed band-Aid for the situation. The majority of student loans start with Free Application for Federal Student Aid. FAFSA applications are due before July 2. FAFSA determines eligibility for student loans. Student loans are subsidized and/or unsubsidized. Subsidized loans allow students to take out loans from the federal government without having to pay interest or make payments while attending school at least part-time. Subsidized loans remain interest free and payment free until the student has not attended school at least part-time status within a six-month period. Unsubsidized loans acquire interest and require the student to make monthly payments while attending school. CSUSM requires all first time student loan students to complete two items. First, students must complete Loan Entrance Counseling through the internet. Then students must electronically sign a loan promissory note. Aside from the FAFSA, there are other student loan oppor- UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SERGEANT FIRST ClASS <^FC) WAUD W m Wk - —u Q $77) 7330 CU 2- 1— « 2 Titscthy.W«ud@us4fec. »ray.nul NURSE CORPS~ ADNRNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse trai ning available; CRNA, LTHET.CC.

The Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students PLUS allows parents of dependent-students to take out student loans. Parents qualify for the loan based on a credit check. A monthly payment of at least 50 dollars is required within 60 days of disbursement. The loan amount is due within ten years. The Federal Perkins Loan o ffers a loan primarily for teaching credential students. The loan focuses on certain groups due to limited funding. The loan requires outstanding financial need. Similar to a subsidized l6an, payments are required 9 months a fter the student has stopped attending school with at least part-time status. As long as the student remains in school part-time, the loan remains interest f ree as well. The Cal State San Marcos Spicer loan allows students to take out up to $4,000 in student loans. Also similar to a subsidized loan, students make payments a fter they have stopped attending school parttime within six months. The Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships determines eligibility. The Cal State San Marcos Emergency Loan quickly allows students to take out $500. The loan is interest free. The loan amount is also due at the end of the semester. The loan becomes available two days after processing. Curious or confused Cougars should visit Cougar Central, which is located in the Tukwut courtyard on the third floor of Craven Hall.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Scotland is a country often passed oyer in lieu of its cousin, Ireland. But for the life of me I cannot understand why. It is a land of hauntingly beautiful landscapes, friendly peoples and amazing history. Vast mountain ranges scrape the ceiling of billowing clouds and the sparkling Lochs and rivers burst with life. Indeed, there is such an amazing expanse of unspoiled countryside just waiting to be explored. Scotland holds a host of relics and secrets and it is not uncommon for a visitor to stumble upon such forgotten and hidden treasures, be it the ruins of a castle, ancient Celtic carvings or rare spectacular wildlife- such as the secretive sea otter or pine martin. Scotland is a land of contradiction - of warriors and artists, peace and chaos; and she has something to offer everyone. From the outdoor enthusiast, the gastronomy or the history buff - she has it all. For me, on a trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh; the image of a red, twelve-pointer stage thundering alongside an old steam train, dragon-like with clouds of steamy breath hitting the cool highland air is firmly imprinted into my brain. In case you didn't realize it yet - 1 love Scotland; it is the land of my birth, and my home. As an unofficial ambassador to my homeland, I often hear the plans of future tourists and, more often than not, they present such an unrealistic itinerary that I cringe - yes it is a small country but do not be fooled! We have some of the wildest terrain imaginable and the canny traveler must be prepared for amazingly winding roads, this also means that a longer amount of time must be factored into a journey through a mountain range, along with other considerations, such as holdups caused by free ranging livestock and inclement weather. In fact, stormy weather may descend at a moments notice and the winds and rain can carry with them the same fervor as the magnificent landscape itself. All of that information digested, the next thing to realize is that there are different and distinct cultures in Scotland, a major divider being the highlands and the lowlands respectively. Needless to say, there is a vastly different experience to be gained from time spent in either of these regions. A trip to the constantly mispronounced Capital city of Edinburgh is a must. The correct pronunciation is Edin-bur-UHH, as in 'huh'. It is NOT EdinBURG (so please do not call it that!). Apart from the Castle, which contains the crown jewels, there are so many places to explore in the city, far too many to list here! Other cities worth a peek aré Glasgow, for its amazing nightlife and art; St. Andrews - the birthplace of golf, Fort William with rugged Glencoe nearby and the highest mountain in the highlands — Ben Nevis. Inverness with its close proximity to Loch Ness and Dingwall, has so many highland attractions within easy reach. An often missed region of Scotland is the Trossachs; this is Rob Roy Macgregór country and it encompasses the stunning Loch Lomond, the tranquil village of Balquhidder and breathtaking countryside. Stirling, a really underappreciated city in my opinion, is nearby and it is here that you will find the Wallace monument. It contains exhibits, a spectacular panoramic view from the top of the monument and the huge sword of Wallace himself! Getting to the mainland however is mandatory to fully appreciate the culture of Scotland as her scores of islands have different stories to tell. So next time you are thinking of heading overseas, consider Scotland, not only Ireland! Just make sure you allocated enough time and try to visit the Highland and Islands too, for a real taste of life there, why not visit all the distilleries - become a genuine whisky connoisseur! Such a trip to Scotland will reveal that there is much more than bagpipes, kilts, haggis and 'Braveheart' to enjoy...want a real surprise? - Visit the lovely village of Plockton - we have naturally growing palm trees there! But don't just take my word for i t... �Jock Talk With Josh: Sinning off BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer When I was in 8th grade I went on a field trip t o CSUSM. I don't remember what for. That was back in 1999 when I was 13 years old. I remember standing at the top of the stairs that lead t o Science Hall, j ust watching the students walk around campus. I remember at the end of the day saying I wasn't interested in going t o that University. It didn't have sports. I remember a Saturday in April of 2003 when I came to CSUSM to take my placement tests. I was mad because I was missing the opening of the NBA playoffs. I remember a day in Summer 2003 when I had orientation and signed up for Fall 2003 courses. I remember sitting in Arts 240, wondering how this group of people called the O-Team could be so damn happy at 8AM. I remember the tour around campus. I remember arriving at Commons 201, just past die ASI offices, above the University store, and t o the l eft of the elevator. The guide said this was where the student newspaper had its office. It seemed like he was looking directly at me when he said t hat I remember the first Tuesday of Spring 2004. It was 5PM and I was waiting in the hallway of 2007 University Hall to attend my first newspaper class. I remember these two women introducing themselves, asking why I was interested in the newspaper. I remember saying, " I want t o be a sports journalist when I grow up? One of those women was Sarah Carlin. I remember her calling me on Wednesday February 11th, telling me t o come t o campus. She asked i f l wanted t o write a sports column every week. I asked what we would call i t I remember Michael Dolan, the Ombudsman and future editor-in-chief, sitting in a chair, helping u s come up with a title. Sarah thought up "Jock Talk," and I added "With Josh." I remember Tuesday February 17th, 2004 when the first "Jock Talk With Josh" came o ut It was about the dangers of ephedra based drugs and how they were affecting the world of sports. Since I'm graduating this semester, this is the final "Jock Talk." I have learned and experienced so much because of this column. This helped turn me into a working journalist with the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on April 29th 2004. It gave me a voice to influence. If l wanted to talk about something, I wrote it here. I 'll never forget when a current staff writer told me she joined the paper because of the article I wrote in opposition t o the University Hour. This also got me into a lot of trouble. I got my share of hate mail when I lambasted the Winter Olympics and when I commented on the media's hypocrisy in the Michael Richards incident When my picture first accompanied the column, April 13th 2004, I found out that people actually read this. To this day I 'm still shocked when someone tells me they read this. Earlier this semester on a Friday night I was at a restaurant in Solana Beach when a woman came up to me, asking if I was Josh Sandoval. I didn't know her, and was wondering how she knew me. She told me she loves my column and reads it every week. It meant a lot t o me any time someone came up t o me on campus and told me they read this. I could fill this final column with just names of people and places that meant something to me, so here are a few. I've worked with three faculty advisors: Jennifer Woodring, Anthony Hurst, and Joan Anderson. I've worked in three newspaper rooms: Commons 201, ACD 301, and Craven 3500. I've worked with five editorin-chiefs: Elizabeth Baldwin, Jon Rodley, Michael Dolan, Patrick B. Long, and David Galley. I also have t o mention Jason Encabo, the current Managing Editor and future editor-in-chief, because I've been on the paper with him the longest There wasn't a Sports section until my column came around. My dream came true this year when my column got pushed t o the Opinion section because others joined t o cover sports. Thank you Jeremy Albers, Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, David Church, Richard Esperti and Kyle Trembley. I'm going t o miss this newspaper. I invested four years and 90 columns, so I know I 'll shed a tear in F ait2007 when this is no longer part of my life. I don't know where I 'll be in 10 years. I could be a sports writer, an MLB General Manager, a national radio host, or a best selling author. Who the heck knows? One thing I do know is I have this column t o thank for getting me started. For the last time, comments can be sent to me at Sando026@csusm.edu and the paper at jnide@csusm.edu. •Siili Mmbriit'htesä I« I^^HBHB nimonitnisaal BBaBPWgBSBi^iaiigieaveiyiD •MMMÉDL • IR • Xj S M MAROOS W « t ( 7 6 0 ) 5 1 0 - 1 9 9 7 Santa F«Rd.

He's got a knack for cracking us up and a taste for music that's won him a Grammy. He's got a dog named Roscoe, and in his spare time, he likes to hang out with his Mends, watch movies and read. In his fourth film, "The Ex," B raff plays Tom Reilly, a character struggling t o call a handicapped person a, shall we say, an asshole? "One of things the movie addresses," Braff said, "is how do you deal with someone who's an asshole, they happened t o b e in a wheelchair, but they're an asshole? You feel so sorry for this guy because he's had to deal with all this adversity in his life, but he's an asshole. This guy's trying to ruin my life, and no one will side with me because everyone feels sorry for him." Directed by Jesse Peretz, "The E x" stars "Arrested Development"'s Jason Bateman as Chip Sanders who is paraplegic and still has a thing for Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet). Sofia, a lawyer, is a new mother and happily married to Tom. When Sofia chooses to become a stay-at-home mom, Tom finds it challenging to step up to the demands of providing for his family, especially when faced with working alongside Bateman's character, Chip. Off camera, the two comedians hammed it up, and according to Braff, Bateman's jokes left him giggling like a schoolgirl. "Mostly it's him making f un of me and laughing at my expense. He's one of those people, he can be making f un of you and you're just cracking up because he's so freakin' funny." Growing up in New Jersey, Braff was exposed to Manhattan's performing art scene early on. He has memories of his parents commuting into Manhattan to see performances at art house theaters well before independent films were the thing to see. At home in New Jersey, B rafFs father would host dinner parties for friends and project 16-millimeter films on the wall. Most of those movies were Woody Allen films. "Even at a young age, before I could possibly understand a Woody Allen movie or anything else, I have memories of my father celebrating the art of movies and filmmaking." The art of filmmaking turned into a dis- cipline for Zach. He graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Film and a minor in Musical Theatre. From there he landed a role in Woody Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mysteries," where Braff said, "If you look at my face closely for the forty five seconds I'm on screen, you'll notice that I looked terrified. I was in a little bit over my head." In 2001, Braff became Dr. John "JD" Dorian on "Scrubs." Next season's future of "Scrubs" is uncertain. "My gut is that it will be on, but it won't be decided until May 15, and particularly which network. It will either be on NBC or ABC." As a writer, director and soundtrack producer for "Garden State," Braff has a thing or two to say about making films for the aspiring film makers. "You can't talk about it," Braff said, "No amount of taking classes or talking about it is going to make any difference. You have to get out there and make films. And I think, really, really Earn 3 credits more info: pricie@csusiiLedu "So my idea is to have all these different artists I really love, from Imogen Heap to Paul Simon to Chris Martin, to write original songs that, in the movie, we'll pretend are her songs and then she'll sing them in the movie. On the soundtrack, the artist who wrote the song will sing the song they wrote. That's my rough concept of an idea and I'm going to see if I can get people to do that." As far as music, Braff is currently into Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson. "I think everyone should go on MySpace. There's this girl Schuyler Fisk. She doesn't have an album out, but you can hear her on MySpace. She is incredible. I think that she's going to be a big talent." And speaking of Myspace, Braff said, "I really love the MySpace thing. For me, it's such a cool invention that you can have a dialogue with your fans."

Anyone with a video camera can go out there and make a video and put it on YouTube. What sets the certain ones apart is someone took the time and wrote a really good script." Although Braff frequently chooses the music for "Scrubs,'* and has won a Grammy for his selection of music for "Garden State," and has directed three music videos, Braff said, "I really don't know anything about music, other than I know what I like. If I can be a catalyst for some amazing musician to help get exposure then I feel honored. I'm sure you've seen an artist in any art form that you love, and you j ust can't believe that no one knows about them." Braff is looking forward to directing "Open Hearts," a dark drama. His excitement for "Open Heart's" soundtrack is already bubbling up. "The lead girl in the ; movie is an aspiring singer," Braff said. m ' I Ä ' JJ . Write for The Pride!

I want to say thanks for doing such an Farewell from the Editor In Chief: David Gatley First off, I had no idea I was graduating at &e onset. of this semester. ; After one spends six years in college the light at the end of the tunnel looks more like a microscopfc, translucent, blurry, mirage more than anything else; seriously, no exaggeration whatsoever. Looking back it occurs to me that this little publication we call The Pride is hard to define. The lack of a college of Journalism and the prevalence of Uterature^id Writing studetrts t end^f make Hie Pride m f e a i^gasa^r and creative writing forum than a being 3^>u {tfa^ to unite the entire campus community and forever capture the spirit of being young. They also let you print stories about sex, alcohol, drugs, rebellion, rock and roll, abortion and anything else controversial, underground and altogether morally sound and righteously awesome ;) ei In all seriousness however, I've been lucky enough to utilize The Pride as a voice of the students, at least those who spoke U p, to take on ««^trovdrsy and concàii ; on campus such as the new Stu* dent Conduct Policy and issues like PedesWan Safety R's real^ reffeshingfÉr s ^ a mwJIiun such newspaper.

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, May 3, during university hour, the library courtyard was rocked with the sounds of Afro-Cuban drum and music. Paul Huggins, a musician and educator at Yale University since 1969 who has played A froCuban drums for five decades, performed with Agogo, the resident drum and dance ensemble of Palomar College. A fter singing, performers Silfredo La O Vigo and Patrice-ann Mead showed off their dancing skills, while the drum ensemble laid down some contagious beats. Dozens of students gathered to hear the distinctive drum songs and to watch the high-energy dancing. Performers played congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments including a box-shaped drum. They played all during university hour, which is quite a feat considering some drum players played with only their bare hands. As a former percussionist, I can attest that this is truly amazing. Even playing for Photo by Kim Anderson / The Pride Cai State San Marcos students while 10 minutes can make an average drummer's hands numb from all of that drum slapping. At the end, the band had interested students come up and learn how to meringue. Students' skill levels varied from the very beginning stages to those who clearly were not dancing for their first time. It was amazing to see how much f un it was for students to learn and dance. The instructors were both very skillful dancers whose infectious attitudes made learning dancing a joy, and for us observers, entertaining to watch. "It's Beer. Hooray Beer." If you have not already guessed, this week's Beer of the week is Red Stripe. Not only is Red Stripe brewed and bottled in Jamaica but the Ambassador of Jamaica is also the spokesman for Red Stripe. Obviously Jamaica is very proud of their beer, and they have the right to be. Red Stripe is not only a delicious brew, but it also complements Jamaican cuisine. I was digging through my refrigerator hoping to find a home cooked meal when my roommate mentioned he had discovered a new restaurant just down the street. I looked at him and said, "Let's Go." Next thing I know we are pulling up to Jamrock on the 101 in Encinitas. "Jamaican cuisine: this will be a first." But I was in store for much more. When we sat down the first thing I ordered was a Red Stripe. When the waitress returned with our beers in hand I was happy to see that these were no ordinary Red Stripes; these were at least 32 ounces of delicious beer. While I was enjoying the first couple sips of beer, the waitress filled us in on some of the history of Red Stripe. To my surprise Red Stripe is still brewed and bottled in Jamaica. A soda company brewed the first Red Stripe in 1928. Americans first discovered Red Stripe during World War II when some of our troops were sent to Jamaica. But it wasn't until the 1960s, when Jamaica became independent from Britain, that the company could go public and really start producing beer. I enjoyed my Red Stripe with and Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich. It was delicious, and washing it down with Red Stripe finished it off perfectly. "It's beer. Hooray beer."

This time they face what may be their most challenging task yet - finding a new King for Far Far Away after King Harold (shall we pun?) croaks. (Well, he was a frog after all.) Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas return as the incomparable vocal cast. It all began in 1930 with the debut of a teen super-sleuth named Nancy Drew. Conceived by Edward Stratemeyer, whose brainchildren include such well-known favorites as the Bobbsey Twins and the Hardy Boys, the "Nancy Drew" series was published under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene though a number of writers actually worked on the series. In the soon-to-be-released film adaptation, Emma Roberts plays the winsome teen detective who relocates from the fictional town of River Heights to Hollywood, California, and promptly finds a mystery to solve.

Pictures M i i e upcoming releases m :.m BY A MANDA A NDREEN Pride Staff Writer With t he bright sun shining and the sweet s ummer breeze tickling the w arm air, there is only one t hing missing f rom your soon t o b e p erfect s ummer: t he hot s ummer CD releases. T his summer shall b ring many good t hings: the San Diego County Fair, 4th of July celebrations, chlorinated and c affeinated p arties, r oad t rips galore, beach outings and yes, the t op five anticipated CD releases of the summer. I n my opinion, the five releases that w ill be the biggest sellers and receive the most h ype in t he coming weeks are Maroon 5 "It Wont' Be Soon Before Long," H anson " The Walk," Paul McCartney " Memory A lmost F ull," Enrique Iglesias "Insomniac," and R ufus Wainwright "Release t he Stars." W ho can argue with Maroon 5 's latest single, "Makes Me Wonder"? There is n o doubt about it t hat t he guys are back and back with an attitude, along with some seriously slick songs. It w on't b e long before t he album "It Won't Be Soon B efore Long," is in stores May 22. D are I say it—Hanson is m aking a comeback. Though t he brotherly t rio h as b een o ut of t he limelight for quite some t ime now, t he once adolescent " MmmBoppers" are now all grown up. Seeing t hat I w as once a seventh g rade teenie-bopper obsessed w ith t he t hree " Mmm-Boppers," I w as quite s urprised t o h ear about t heir new album " The W alk" being released on 3CG Records May 22. Hanson, having traveled t o South A frica and Mozambique, h as centered t he t heme of t heir new album and single " The Great D ivide" on t he devastating A IDS epidemic in A frica. It would b e h ard for Paul M cCartney t o go wrong on His upcoming release, especially since it is r umored that h e is producing and compiling old audio t racks f rom h is Beatles days to create t he last ever m ade new Beatles song with a little help f rom h is good friend R ingo Starr. " Memory A lmost F ull" is due out J une 5. A h, E nrique Iglesias. We have m issed o ur " hero." E nrique's latest single " Do You K now" is upbeat even t hough its tone b ehind t he lyrics is slightly forlorn. E nrique looks and sounds b etter t han ever; h is b reak from t he niusic scene h as w orn on h im well. Only 36 more sleepless nights u ntil E nrique's album, " Insomniac" debuts June 12. Lastly, R ufus Wainwright, t he p oetic d reamer h e is, h as a new album entitled "Release t he Stars," which w ill b e on store shelves May 15. T his b eing t he songster's f ifth f ull-length album, h is revamped and r efreshed style is s oft and delicious; p erfect f or an a fternoon c ruise along t he coast. Now t hat s ummer is in our m idst, p repare yourself f or a musically mouthwatering b reak m from studying.
