Still, the CSUSM community is familiar with the changes each new school year brings. Last year, CSUSM launched its new and improved website. In years past, parking structures opened, bur colleges offered new majors, and public transit advanced. This fall, CSUSM brings both a new logo and Windows Operating System in addition to a thirty percent fee increase and ten percent pay cuts to staff and faculty. With the country still tackling an economic recession and the state of California in a budget crisis of its own, cuts to the Cal State University system forced faculty, s taff, and students to essentially pay more for less as a means to operate on a budget drastically cut by 14 Million dollars. Over the summer, the budget cuts introduced a new word to the vocabulary of the campus community. In what some s taff, faculty, and even student workers will come to know as the new f-word, furloughs are responsible for the ten percent pay cut to anyone employed through the CSU system. Last T hursday, Aug. 28, CSUSM President, Karen S. Haynes addressed staff and faculty at Fall Convocation, an event that not only celebrates the accomplishments of the past year but also ushers in the beginning of the new school year. Though President Haynes tailored her remarks at the event to resonate optimism within the staff and faculty in attendance, drawing on the familiar line f rom Cesar Chavez, "Si, se puede!," the uncertainty of the new academic year is hard to ignore. While CSUSM held its Convocation, the California Faculty Association held its own alternative convocation. Though the CFA has been fighting the cuts to the budget over the past year, as the effects of these cuts take effect in the months to come, the faculty association is preparing to fight and be heard throughout the state. Furloughs Faculty at CSUSM must to adhere to the new regulations established by the State of California labor code that require professors to take nine unpaid days out of their regularly CSUSM Age: 2 0 (circa 1989) C SUSM Undergraduate Fee: $ 4,650 per year ($2,325 per semester) Auto Parking Permit: $ 293.00 Furlough Days: 9 WE N EED W RITERS I l VOL.

CFA California Faculty Association www2.csusm.edu/cfe/ scheduled workdays, furlough days, as stated by the California Faculty Association (CFA). On furlough days, professors are prohibited to work on anything school related, included answering student emails, logging on to WebCT, holding office hours, and any other CSU-work related behavior. Furlough days thus strain student's college experience by providing gaps in the scheduled class dates and create a lack of consistency that students expect from professors. Furlough days became adopted by CSUSM because of a need to. cut the workload and compensation by 9.23 percent, according to the CFA. President Haynes* * public address at Fall Convocation touched on the impact these f urlough days and other changes due to the economic crisis has on students. "As we prepare to welcome students back to class Monday, the joy and excitement I share with CSUSM s taff and faculty is clouded," said Haynes. "However, unprecedented budget cuts are derailing our progress, the message to students is no longer one of access, but one of opportunity denied." Haynes continued to address the problem by ending on a note of f rustration and urging parents, students and See Changes, Page 3 E arn .elective c redits B uild a p ortfolio Get i nvolved on c ampus G reat for r esume I ncrease n etworking o pportunities Interested?

Unless the student had priority registration, they would be unable to take more than 13 units in the fall semester. For most students, this was not a big problem. The average unit load of four classes factors to about 12 units. But, those who needed to take more than 13 units—due to an impending school transfer, or graduation requirement—were l eft high and dry. The e-mail does contain a link to personally appeal a case on the Undergraduate Advising Services website, but it is unknown what criteria is needed to gain this appeal. When asked, the majority Of students at CSUSM had mixed feelings about the unit limitation. "I can see why they would need to do that, to save money," said senior Anthony Carlson."But at the same time, if I needed to do more than 13 units in the spring to graduate I would be screwed. Plus I would be paying even more money to finish it in summer school!" Even though the unit cap only affects a small number of students, this action may signàfìthe beginning of a number of inconvenient cutbacks by the California State Universities in response to the state budget crisis. If this unit cutback turns out to be effective in saving Cai State money, the CSU system may employ more unit cutbacks in the future. As of August 31, 2009 at 9:00 am, CSUSM lifted the 13-unit cap for the fall semester, citing that "an audit has revealed a limited number of openings." But once these few openings are taken, the classes that some students need to take will be full. For many students, the e-mail came too little, too late. If CStJSM does decide to use this method in the future, returning students can at least kncrtv what to expect in terms of class availability for the upcoming semesters.

July 1.2009 "Cash for Clunkers" The U.S. administration announced a $1 billion Car Allowance Rebate System in an attempt to not only help boost the economy but also encourage American consumers to trade in their less fuel-efficient for more eco-friendly alternatives. Due to the high demand, Congress approved a $2 billion extension after the original funding was exhausted by July 31, 2009. The original end date for the program, November 1, 2009, was cut short when the "Cash for Clunkers" allowance was officially depleted on August 24,2009. According to the Department of Transportation, "Cash for Clunkers" generated 690,114 transactions in dealerships with Toyota accounting for the majority of the sales.

H ome j a c k i e c a r b a j a l I 'm back for one more semester (I mean it this time) and am returning as editor-in-chief. I am a Literature and Writing Studies major with a writing emphasis and will be applying to grad school to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing. When I am not on campus, I am likely working my other job as a legal assistant for a law firm in Carlsbad. I enjoy cartoons (currently watching "The Chipmunks Adventure"), NPR, and fishing (for compliments, not fish). I come from a big family so noise doesn't bother me, t am always willing to offer advice or a helping hand, and I love to laugh. s a i K l r a _ c h a i m e r $ Hello! My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am the new Arts and Entertainment Editor! I am a Communications and Mass Media major. Trader Joe's makes me happy and iced coffee has become my drug of choice. I love live music and enjoy all mediums of art. I am completely fueled by creativity. I would choose a foreign film over the next Jennifer Aniston chick flick and sometimes I am always late to class. a m y _ s a l i s b u r y My name is Amy and I'm the Copy Editor. You've probably seen me with this huge, Brazilian bag I lug around that might be embarrassing if it had j ust one l ess color on it. I'm an odd 20 year-old known best for my astounding ability to go against the flow. I get offended when my favorite bands come on only to serve as background noise. I like to think people derive benefit from what I say about music. I like Ferlinghetti, philosophy, cats and cosmology. I love a good concert. I'm terrible at leaving voicemaiis, and 1 think people tell more about themselves by what they hide than what they expose. m a t t J e w i s Hi, t'm Matt. A lot of people confuse me with the multitudes of other Matt's that go to school here. I guess it would be easier if I said my last name paired with my first name all the time, but then again, that would be weird. I am a senior at CSUSM and will be the editor for Faces & Places this semester. I enjoy Rollerbiading, or "Fruitbooting'' as many like to say. Most people think I mean fitness skating on the boardwalk with spandex, and I always have to explain to them, MNo, like on rails and stairs and stuffy I like the ocean and I like eating tacos. if you're looking for a good taco place 1 would say go to Qscar's on Rancho Santa Fe drive in Vi$ta, about 10 minutes away from school. I'm sure you can find the ocean on your own though. k r i s t i n a J a w l e r My name is Kristina Lawler (soon to be Martinez as of October 3, 2009) I am youfBusiness Manager for The Pride.

I work at Starbucks and love it. I love Disneyland, learning new things, random talks, and traveling. I have a Westie named Harrison and he rocks my socks literally and another Westie named Sampson who is my old man that I rescued. I'm a Leo and extremely compassionate, l am a fuH believer in second chances and karma. Wanna know more? Just ask. r u d y _ m a r t i n e z I usually have Kristina write this up for me, but I figured I'd give this a shot this time.

To others, t he ABC combo, "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and Sisters," comes to mind. Fans of the shows have to wait until Sept. 27 for the premieres, though their returns should prove worth the wait. In the season premiere of "Housewives," viewers will finally know the answer to the season 5 cliffhanger; who does Mike marry, his ex-wife and baby momma, Susan, or current girlfriend, Katherine? The new season should also prove entertaining as the other housewives surely mm mm m Image courtesy CW have their own melodramas to play out and, per usual, a new family moves in. The "Brothers and Sisters" season four premiere will see more of the newest addition to^the Walker family, the illegitimate son, Ryan, who, for those of us who tuned in last season, will remember, his intentions weren't exactly genuine. The .divorced single oldest sister, Sarah, will finally get some action and we'll see how Kitty and Roberts rocky marriage makes it through Robert's run for governor.

Going into it's third season, this show has definitely turned into a must-see. Watch out, Manhattan, these kids are grown up now and off to college. What will that mean for our favorite characters? If it's anything like the last seasons, lots more drama and exciting new storylines. It will be hard to top last season's twists and turns, but with Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf finally attempting a relationship, who knows what will happen. I know I will be tuning in on September 14tb to find out and so should you. "Dancing with the Stars" could very likely overshadow the entertainment gems that Mondays o ffer this fall. Though "House" by now should have a strong enough following to weather out the rumba/jive combos of D-list celebrities, "Heroes" has something to prove considering the rapid decline its ratings have been on since season one. "How I Met Your Mother" and "Big Bang Theory" are honorable mentions, as both these shows are not only funrfy, but their earlier seasons are available on box sets for quite reasonable prices.

With shows that range from "The Simpsons" and "Arrested Development" to "Joe Millionaire" and "Melrose Place," the upcoming dramedy (comedy/drama) "Glee" is a hit or miss this fall. With season one's first episode premiering on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009, viewers have enough time to give this show a fair chance before missing out on other Wednesday premieres such as the CW's "The Beautiful Life" the following week and ABC's "Cougar Town" two weeks out. "Glee" made its debut this past spring, premiering its pilot episode following the "American Idol" finale to mixed critical reviews though it did pull in an impressive 10 million viewers. The new series follows a high school choir but hints at a darker story line that could prove an edgy result that is already being referred to as a mix between "High School Musical" and "Gray's Anatomy."

The' alternative convocation consisted of over 120 faculty members who all worked together to actively plan ahead for the upcoming semester. As the semester pushes forward into mid-September, the CFA continues to assemble and rally support in protest of the disabling cuts to higher education. The effects of such cuts may already be evident to students, many of whom experienced difficulty crashing courses. The CFA is responsible for the assertive stance faculty is now taking against over-enrollment. "Class size is important in determining the ability of faculty to give students the appropriate level of attention necessary for success, but budget demands have been steadily increasing our class sizes to the point where we simply could not provide the time necessary for students," said CFA Association Chapter President and CSUSM Associate Professor of Sociology, Don Barrett. "This decision was a key part of why you saw many faculty encouraging students in their first days of classes to file complaint forms about the availability of classes." Last Tuesday and Thursday, Sept. 8 and 10, CFA assembled CSUSM faculty members in Founders Plaza to protest the budget cuts and furlough days and also encourage students to join i njhe protest. During the University Hour protests, faculty members stood in between Craven, Markstein, Science Hall I and Academic handing out complaint forms to students. Students may notice their syllabi include furlough explanations which detail the reasoning behind and consequences of furlough days for course sched- CSUSM's GFA chapter President Don Barrett and Professor Heidi Breuer protest the budget cuts during University Hour by passing out complaint forms to students. ules and campus operations. CSUSM's Academic Senate comprised of faculty members across departments, compiled samples of furlough language in syllabi. The CFA provides these examples of furlough explanations on their website for faculty to use. The CSUSM's CFA chapter website, www.csusm. edu/cfa, also provides students with the information necessary to help protest the cuts to the budget. An online complaint form is available at the CFA website as well. The form headline reads: "Got Classes? We don't. If you're frustrated that you're paying more for classes & an education that you're not receiving, please fill out this complaint form." "In terms of complaint forms, we have received hundreds [of complaint forms] and will be giving those to the President and Provost, as well as to the Chancellor's office and legislators," said Barrett. "This sort of visible complaint is key to letting policy holders know that students and faculty won't just quietly accept efforts that make quality educa- tion more and more difficult to provide." President Haynes recently wrote an editorial in the August 30, 2009 "North County Times" regarding the budget crisis at CSUSM. "There is no question that we are positively impacting lives, — but how can we continue to educate and support students with quality when our budget was dramatically slashed by $14 million, or 20 percent of state support, in one year? This is the question that keeps me up at night," Haynes wrote. "The fact is, Cal State San Marcos and the public higher education system in California are in crisis. The current options of reducing quality service to students, of turning even more students away, and of charging students more are all distasteful and largely unacceptable alternatives — not just for Cal State San Marcos, but for this region. An even less-educated community of tomorrow will not be the community that attracts and retains businesses; it will not continue to be the place of incubation and innovation. This dilemma should keep all of us up at night," Haynes said. In closing, Haynes called on the "North County Times" readers, and the entire county, to rally against the cuts to higher education, "Join me in sending this definitive message: Our state budget cannot be balanced on the back of California's future." This call for help provides an example of the collaboration between faculty and administration against the budget cuts made by the state. While CSUSM faculty and staff are certainly frustrated with the current state of the budget, Haynes is not downplaying the magnitude of the cuts or their effects on every member of the campus community and beyond.

But the process of getting that degree is becoming more and more difficult, simply because part time jobs that can help pay for college are in short supply.

"I have a one or two scholarships to help me pay for stuff, but I'm counting on finding a job after I graduate to help pay for most of my student loans." It's worth mentioning that half of college graduates under the age of 25 have jobs that don't require college degrees, either because the competition for specialized work has become too fierce or because long-term employers can't afford to hire them. These statistics may seem bleak, but if anything they should give incentive to average students to start preparing now for their future, whatever grade they might be in. Preparing resumes, practicing interviews, and working at internships are all resources that CSUSM has available to every student.

The #12-ranked Cougars are now 3-2-1 on the season. Westmont falls to 1-2-1. It was virtually a 180-degree turnaround from the team's last home game, a 1-0 loss to Vanguard. Today, CSUSM was energized, physical, and hungry as they attacked the goal and played spirited defense. Track star Lucia Asbury made her first appearance of the season as a forward, and provided pace and aggressiveness to an offense that had appeared sluggish at times this season. ¡ ni ¡iiiiüiiüiiii lüÄlÄSli The game's lone goal came in the 34th minute. After a nice build-up, Asbury hit a cross to the top middle of the box, where the ball found the foot of Taylor Ziencina. Ziencina launched a shot from about 15 yards out that found the top corner of the net, past the hands of the outstretched keeper. It's Ziencina's fourth goal of the young season. That would be all the Cougars needed, as the defense was in top form, limiting Westmont io just one shot on goal - which fortunately ricocheted off the post. Keeper Kaycee Gunion picked up the shutout. CSUSM will face another tough GSAC test as they go on the road this Tuesday to take on Point Loma.

For Williams, the win supports the work ethic and drive /that Coach Steve Scott has been raving about this Fall. An AllAmerican in Cross-Country and National Champion in track & field, Williams is on a mission to improve on last year's sixth place finish at the National Championships. She got off to a great start on Saturday, running 17:21 to win the event by 5 seconds. Not far behind in the 5K was Cady Villarreal. A breakout performer this spring in track & field, Villarreal proved she will be a force as a cross-country runner this fall. She ran 17:41 to finish 4th. Junior Jessica Sandoval would make it an amazing three Cougar runners to break 18 minutes. Sandoval took 9th place with a time of 17:56. All three runners not only finished in the top 10 at this event, but they have a very good chance of earning Ail-American status at Nationals. The Cougars' next three runners all finished within a couple seconds of each other. Sin Carrano, Lindsey McKown, and Kelly Thompson finished 59th, 60th, and 61st with times of 19:10, 19:11, and 19:12, respectively. Melissa Olmos rounded out the women's team with a time of 19:30. For the men's team, the 2009 season debut was just about as impressive. Running in his firstever meet in Cougar Blue, Baressa, a transfer from Mesa College, defeated the NCAA-heavyfieldin the 8K with a time of 25:06. That time alone makes him the #5 top performers in Cougar cross-country's 10-year history, and he's still got the whole season ahead of him. Next on the team was Dave Edwards, who finished in 38th place with a time of 26:11. Pat Fitzgerald finished 55th with a time of26:34, and Bernardo Bahena and Chris Strasheim were close behind in 58th and 59th, running 26:41 and 26:42, respectively. Rounding out the top-5 was Chris Capeau, who ran 27:32. Also competing for the Cougars were Miguel Vega (28:21) and Jordan Brooks (28:37). It's an outstanding start to what should be a big season for Coach Steve Scott's cross-country program. The #6-ranked teams will be in action next week at UC Riverside. Photo By Kyle Trembley M en's soccer wins thriller a gainst Westmont September 12, 2009 A rabid crowd of Cougar fans cheered an equally-energetic Cougar men's soccer team to victory in its home opener Saturday. CSUSM defeated Westmont 3-2 in what was a wild, spirited game. The Cougars have now clawed their way back to 3-3 on the season. Westmont falls to 2-2. The hundreds of fans in attendance w fie treated to a thrilling mafch between two talented and highly-motivated sides at Mahgrum Field. Westmont struck f irst, when in the 18th minute Anthony Niboli found a loose ball in the box and drove it past Cougar keeper Kevin Ernst. Westmont continued to apply the pressure, and would have went up 2-0 a few minutes later had Ernst not made a diving full-extension save. With h alftime fast approaching and it looking like the Cougars would go in down 1-0, lightning struck twice. In the 42nd minute, recently-subbed in Casey Wootan sparked the o ffense with a b eautiful pass through the defense to Bradley Seidenglanz. Seidenglanz beai the defense to t h e c a l 1; and blasted a q uick-shorthat beat the keeper cleanly^1 That tied the game ^ t 1-1,^ but the Cougars were not done. Just 59 seconds later, Brandon Zuniga and Wootan electrified the crowd with a beautiful goal. Zuniga made a run to the corner with the ball, and f ired a low cross to Wootan, who made a run to the near corner of the net and skillfully redirected the ball over the keeper and into the top of the net. The sudden change from 0-1 to 2-1 in the span of a minute was one of the most exciting stretches in the history of Cougar soccer. But Westmont was not deterred, and equalized the game early in the second half on a corner kick in which it appeared Ernst was held back. Doug Harrell took advantage with a solid header into the net. But CSUSM would have the last word, and catch a break of its own as Brandon Zuniga made a nice run, arid was taken down right at the top of the box. A penalty kick was awarded, and redshirt freshman Martin Suarez easily tucked it away for his f irst Cougar goal. Twenty very tense minutes followed, but when the dust settled, the Cougar defense held and the team had a very well-earned carry the momentum into a vtough game Tuesday at Point 3-2 win. The Cougars will look to Loma. Photo By Kyle Trembley �Arts & Entertainment Auf Wiedersehen, Bravo! Restaurant W eek rolls into town THE PRIDE Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 15,2009 Project R unway moves to Lifetime BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Project Runway's season six on its new TV network, Lifetime®, still keeps loyal fans flocking. Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum have packed up and moved from New. York City to Los Angeles. The contestants will be working from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FD1M), a shift from the legendary Parson's School of Design. The judges, Nina Garcia, fashion director for Marie Claire magazine and Michael Kors, an American iconic fashion designer, stayed on board through the changes. Staying traditional, Project Runway brought in a selection of celebrity judges, this season has already seen Lindsay Lohan as a guest judge for a red carpet challenge and a pregnant Rebecca Romijn also guest judged for a maternity design challenge. Future guest judges include Eva Longoria Parker and Tommy Hilfiger this Thursday at its regular showing time of 10p.m. Other than location, the show is unchanged from its previous five seasons on Bravo® TV network. The grand prize still lures designers to compete for a chance to show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, $100,000fromL'Oreal Paris, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine and a Paris vacation sponsored by Evian. The casting has stuck to its roots with the same odd but artistic personalities. "I try to meditate on the mood of where the garment will be and who will be wearing it," said Ari Fish, a 26 year-oldfromKansas City, MO who never sketches her designs. Michael Kors described her dress as "a disco soccer ball." Fish's quilted silver halter dress made her the first designer to go home, Challenges and stresses stay high but the creative workfromthe designers and the dramatics that come with it continue to keep audiences raving. Last week's episode eliminated a contestant for playing it safe with the design ofa simple black dress. "No one's [design] really looks like crap, but I just think Althea's looked like crap," said Irina Shabayeva, a young designer out of New York City. Regardless of Shabayeva's opinion, Althea Harper, a 24 year oldfromDayton, OH, impressed the judges with her three-piece suit, making her the winner of episode 4. This year Bravo® had a not so successful knock-off called "The Fashion Show." The winner of the show had their designs sold at a retailer. This ultimately focused the designs toward commercial sale rather than high fashion runway style. Although it followed the same elimination format as Project Runway, they had stiffly written tag lines such as "You are hanging by a thread." These words fell flat with many fens of "Project Runway," used to organically formed sayings such as Tim Gunn's "Make it work," or Klum's "One day you're in and the next day you're out." Lifetime's interactive website gives viewers an opportunity to rate the designs, the contestants and give feedback. Do not worry if you have missed an episode or two because featured on the website, www. mylifetime.com/on-tv/show/projectrunway every full episode is posted for watching with a few 3 (^second commercials slipped in.

C ougar kitchen Sicilian-style apple pie pizza BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Apple pie is as American as pizza. Ok, maybe pizza is not traditionally American. However, it is a solid American staple, beloved by all. With this recipe, I wanted to present theflavorsof apple pie in the fast and convenient eating style ofpizza. This recipe is affordable and fun. Makes approximately 6 servings Prep Time: 15 minuets Cook Time: 15 minuets 3 apples (approx 1 lb Golden Delicious $1.491b) !4 tsp Cinnamon ($0.99) % cup Sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice (half lemon) ($0.50) Pinch of salt 1 sheetfrozenpuff pastry or pie crust ($4.79for2) 8 oz cream cheese ($1.99) % cup chocolate hips (optional) For Crust: Open package roll out pastry sheet and place on a greased cookie sheet. Take a fork and ¿tab holes into the top of the pastry covering the entire sheet. Place in preheated, 400degree oven. Bake for 13 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool. *In the frozen food section of every grocery store, you can find puff pastry. Puff pastry is primarily flour and butter, lots of butter! It is delicate andflakey,very similar to a croissant. I prefer this to frozen piecrust because it will hold up when being eaten like pizza, I would have preferred to buy all of my ingredients at leader Joes because they have lower prices than standard grocery stores. However, I was dismayed when I went to Trader Joes®, in Oceanside, and found they only carry puff pastry seasonally (e.g. fall and* winter months). As a result, I made my way to Albertsons®. They did have frozen Pepperidge Farms® puff pastry containing two sheets for $4.79, which I purchased for this recipe. Alternatively, Pillsbury has a 'break and bake' (paper tube) with one pastry dough sheet for $3.49. Apple Toppings: Peel, core and slice apple into small pieces bite sized pieces. Sauté apples and butter in pan on medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Add sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt to pan. Cook for additional 5 minute. Removefromheat and allow cooling. After topping cools, drain off excess liquid. * This is super easy to make and can used alternatively as a delicious topping for yogurt. Spices like cinnamon can be expensive. In the ethnic food isle of the grocery store, you will find Tampico brand bagged spices for 990. That is a huge savings from the $5 jarred spices. „Assemble: Soften cream cheese; you can microwave it for 15 seconds until it is soft and easily spreadable. If it does not spread easily, it will tear the crust Spread cream cheese evenly on puff pastry. Spoon cooled apple topping on top of cream cheese. Optional Garnish: Put lA cup chocolate chips in standard plastic bag and seal. Place bag in bowl of hot water from the tap. Chocolate should melt in 1-2 minutes. With scissors, snip one bottom corner of the plastic bag. Moving back and forth drizzle chocolate on top of pie.

M OGIL NAME REACTED JAMES R OCHE IVAN GARCIA MAEVE CAMPLISSON H as the era or a universally a ppealing artist passed? BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Over the last twenty y ears, the role of the musician has changed in A merica. T his idea came to me c onsidering the death of Michael Jackson and the rerelease of the Beatles albums. These performers revolutionized their i ndustry, f rom the way music sounded, to the way it was made. What was u nique is that they appealed to everyone. I know not everyone liked or likes the Beatles or Michael Jackson, but in t heir heyday, a considerable p ortion of the world followed t hem. It is hard to deny the impact of " Beatle-mania," plus " Thriller" r emains the h ighest selling album of all time. The same goes for other a rt- ists, such as Elvis; however, t here does not seem to be someone in t his position today. T he p assing of the King of Pop h as r eminded me that t here is not a single band with the same u niversal appeal. I b elieve t his age h as p assed. C onsidering t he d iversity of music today, I doubt t here w ill b e an a rtist t hat a ppeals to t he m ajority of p eople. T his i s s omething t o look on with n ostalgia, but also we should look how f ar music h as come. What s tarted as simple expressions of self and culture h as become of an industry that has split into g enres to f it every t aste. The I nternet has made it even easier to f ind new music to suit o ne's t aste. The diversity of music h as changed, which can be seen by b reaking down g enres. For example, what was once j ust rock is now s oft r ock, h eavy r ock, m etal, i ndustrial, p op r ock, blues r ock, c ountry r ock, and so on. With so many o ptions now, each a ppealing t o d ifferent m arkets, everyone can find or m ake music t o suit their t astes. Yet, we cannot forget a t ime when some a rtists took t he world by s torm and revolutionized music. I doubt it can b e done a gain, but I will leave t hat t o t he music makers.

PhotosJbry Name Redacted N ative plant presentation packs auditorium BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer It was standing room only in A rts 111 on the evening of Sept. 16, 2009 as several hundred p eople t urned out to listen to a p resentation on the u ses of indigenous and endemic plant species. This p resentation was j ust another class session for t hose in P rofessor S mall's VPA 311 c ourse, A rts World C ultures. But many of t hose f illing t he room t his evening were i nterested in broadening t heir u nderstanding of the n ative peoples with whom we share t his land today. Those a ttending sought to c onnect with those who have been the k eepers of t his land f or m illennia prior to t he a rrival of Western peoples. The t itle of the p resentation, " Edible, M edicinal, Material, Ceremonial Contemporary Ethnobotany of Southern C alifornia I ndians," may have led one to expect a very d ry c ollegiate discussion of plant, genus and species followed by d etails of the plants f unctions among Southern C alifornia N ative Indian Tribes. Anyone a ttending with "the expectation to receive such a s cientifically e nlightening e xperience would have come away very d isappointed. For anyone a ttending without p reconceptions, the evening was a delight. The p rofessor delivered the p resentation, and was enthusiastically commented on by c o-presenter Lydia Vassar, a Luiseno basket weaver who teaches basket weaving on the Pechanga r eservation at the Pechanga C Mmmakilawish School. It was a sentimental j ourney back in t ime to re-visit the lost and recently r e-discovered Luiseno a rt of weaving baskets, as well as a few side t rips t o d iscuss some of the other u seful plant species in the area. Vassar brought j oy and excitement to all in a ttendance as she focused less on the s pecific plant applications than she did on the e ssential and h armonious c o-existence between the p lants and the indigenous people. Her mother was in the audience f or the evening and also c ontributed some of h er wisdom t o t he conversation. In her s torytelling it was clear that m odern society was i mpacting the local t ribes, and l ocal p lants, both in a less than positive m anner. But the stories were n othing but positive, as she d escribed how t he knowledge of her own t ribes basket weaving had been lost, and was now being r eborn through the g uidance of elders among other t ribes. She is clearly p assionate about basket weaving, and her enthusiasm to inspire and guide a new generation of basket weavers is u nbounded. Basket weaving locally d epends on the Juncus p lant, a g rass species whose population is being t hreatened by non-native invasive species such a s Pampas g rass. In a ddition, several other f actors enter into t he equation of collecting m aterials to c reate t hese b askets that not only f unctional, but a re also in t heir own right g reat works of a rt. Among t he challenges of collecting enough of the Juncus t o begin the weaving, ( preferably the uncommon brown stems) include the all t oocommon o ccurrence of poison oak w ithin the r eeds of the J uncus p lant; Vassar described methods" she used to p rotect h erself f rom the vicious bite of t he poison oak oil as she h arvested plants for her c raft. A lso t hroughout history, t here have been no b oundaries to c ollecting plant?, and today f ences and b orders impinge on the t radition i tself. A s the local t ribes begin t o r ediscover t heir old ways, p erhaps t hose of u s who have c reated physical and s piritual b arriers can c reate new pathways to bridge these t wo c ultures t ogether in living harmony. Perhaps the best way to d escribe the event was a s an i ntercultural conversation, as r eminiscence to old ways, and an introduction for those who were unaware that t here are ways to e xperience l ife's great j oy without the relentless pur- suit of m onetary and m aterial r ewards. Spending t he e vening l istening and c onnecting was c ertainly a reward in i tself. Photos by Blaine H. Mogil �Faces & Places S tudying a broad at C S U S M Accents THE PRIDE BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer My name is James Roche. I'm a student at the University of Central Lancashire, UCLan, and I'm here at Cal State San Marcos on a yearlong exchange program. Anyone heard of the English city of York? Don't worry, you're not the only one. It's in Northern England and is over four hours away from London. So being from the north of E ngla^, the opportunity to come study in Southern California was too good to turn down. For most international students thinking about, studying abroad, California is theprime choice; the sun, sand and sea on your doorstep everyday is a dream come true! I arrived. here a couple of weeks earlier than I was required to, as I wanted to relax and enjoy the place before the classes started. Once those two weeks were up I had to move into the University Village Apartments, which was a bit strange initially for me as everyone at university in England has their own room. I think I've been lucky because I get along with my roommate and the other guys in my apartment. This is a concern for most internationals upon coming jto America I think, as you do hope to get along with someone who you will be living in the same room for the next six months to a year. The people that I have met out here have been nice and welcoming, and I already knew a few people before I came across the pond. This is due to them coming to my university in England on an exchange program. This is also how 1 met my American girlfriend! Having a British accent seems to be a nice thing to have here as it's an easy way to start up a conversation and most people seem to like it. I'm taking Mass Media classes here and have found them quite interesting. It's nice when the professor comes to you for an international view on the topic, for example we recently talked about American Idol and it was nice to mention that Britain had the idea for that show first! The budget crisis was a serious shock to me though as I was not made aware anything like this could happen when I applied to CSUSM. I have had one class cancelled already which was both worrying and annoying at the same time. I was also astounded at the amount of books you have to buy and the cost, although speaking to a few people I think I've been lucky with my course. I think I'll struggle to get used to a few things. For example, why does football have to be soccer here? That hurts me the most! Also, Americans refer to table tennis as ping pong. I know they're the same thing but it's my English pride that takes the hit saying it differently. However, with all the differences, CSUSM seems like a great place to come to and I think I'm going to have a great year! Tuesday SEPTEMBER 29, 2 009 O a nd culture shock BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Who'd have thought after 3 weeks ofconversing with the local Brits, that I wouldn't understand a good majority of local sayings? It's simply shocking walking into the local Essentials Food Market (like Cougar Corner, only British) to pick up a loaf of bread and a Diet Coke, and after I pay I follow up with an immediate thank you only to have the person on the other side of the register reply with "cheers." No, we weren't toasting to my purchase with a large pint of Guinness, this is a local expression for "thank you" and/or "have a nice day." Everywhere I go this is said along with varying other says that I seem to slowly pick up, like the fact that frenchfriesare known as chips, then what are Doritos know as? The point is that a good majority ofwhat we know can drastically change depending on where you are in the world and how you're perceived. I know I got some strange look when I said "fanny pack" in public (yeah, it's actually a word used to describe a certain body part, try to guess!). And with that comes the realization of culture shock—the idea of being in a new and foreign place where things as little as words could mean completely the opposite. But it's a good culture shock, the learning outcomes that come from it are one that will help throughout the rest of the time living in said coun- try and it's definitely something to take back home. Speaking of taking things back home, accents! They're sexy, different, and above all, just plain awesome! Going to class every other day puts you at the forefront of speech in a foreign country, so sure enough, my dream would be to come sounding like Daniel Craig or something. And along with the culture shock, comes the fact that I myself didn't know that I had an accent apparently. According to locals, I'm the one with the American accent, and somehow they can pinpoint that I'mfromCalifornia. It's just simply something that I never thought about, here I was ready to go to the UK and gain an accent for myself. All the while, people already in the UK were prepping to hear accents from varying countries, including theU.S. So, it just goes to show, that even though almost every country contains people, buildings, roads, we're all essentially the same. We are people, united under the banner of Homo sapiens. But we should all strive to learn from the cultures of others to influence and better ourselves. So, I propose a trade, how about the UK brings over a Chipotle franchise here to understand the deliciousness of it (I'm dying for a burrito STAT!). And in return, America will create a method to gain cool British and phrases to better understand our friends across the pond. Deal? L ooking to join a g ym? Y ou a lready h ave!

You've heard of it: the idea that Americans are culturally aittight. This Zip-lock effect extends beyond our collective ignorance concerning world politics and events. It also controls even our pop cultural preferences. Of course, the latter isn't necessarily a societal detriment; any country could say the same about its inhabitants to some degree. The majority of U.S. Americans have heard of The Beatles from England, Bjork from Iceland, and Shakira from Columbia. The problem is, the greater part of international musicians that are established in America are the ones who have catered to American taste, likely because American entertainment monopolizes much of youth culture. It's a natural thing considering the largest and most powerful record labels currently call the States home. Seeing as how artists like Mariah Carey hog even the World Music Awards, the most effective way to hunt for international musicians is to do just that: hunt. I offer the following artists under the disclaimer that 1 am indeed an American as well and can only go as far as the Internet may take me. Onward, I say! Indipop broke into the American entertainment sceiie with the success of the British film Slumdog Millionaire. Indian composer and producer Allah Rakha "A.R." Rahman began scoring Bollywood movies in t he 90s, garnering mass success in his native India before "Jai Ho" came to the States. He's worked with several Hindi and Tamil musicians to turn out hit after hit in his token symphonic style, prevalent in India as well as in Indian communities in Europe. Origa, or Ol'ga Vital'evna Yakovleva, is a Japanese pop singer of Russian origin. She gained popularity throughout the 90s and early 2000s with the rise in mainstream Anime interest, and the majority of her fanbase is still in Japan. The language Origa sings in varies by album; sometimes she will even use more than one language in the same song. Though she is no longer an active artist in Russian, the Japanese still can't get enough. Polish music culture is unusual because it's one of the only countries without pop music ruling the charts. Rather, Poland has a huge death metal scene, with the band Vader at the forefront. As you'd imagine, the band took their name from the Star Wars series, and their style certainly reflects the character's darkness. Throughout Ukraine, Germany, and the THE P RIDE Image courtesy of Jmignited.com Czech Republic, Vader satiates their fans' desire for the best death metal in Eastern Europe. For over 25 years, Egyptian musician Amr Diab released and continues to release the most popular music in the country. He's smashed album sales records throughout the Middle East and is as loved today as in the mid-80s when he first came to prominence. His dance-style music crosses over to places including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, and is considered the favorite of all Arab pop singers. The planet is a big place, and the musical world is even larger. Each of the nearly 200 countries in existence has its unique variants and reasons for why its people enjoy the music they do. Language is an understandable barrier, but the love of music is unanimous. A uthor b rings real w orld e xperience to C S U S M BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Knowing a successful author brings reality to the forefront and is no longer a distant hypothetical for aspiring student writers on campus. The Community and World Literary Series featured author Stephen-Paul Martin at CSUSM's Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon on Thursday, Sept. 24. It was a grand evening filled with buzz and excitement. Stephen-Paul Martin is a widely published author with work ranging from poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The National Critics Circle Fiction Award in 1993 nominated Martin for "The Gothic Twilight." His most recent collection is "The Possibility of Music." He graduated from New York University with his doctorate. His upcoming fiction collection "Changing the Subject," will debut in 2010, published by Ellipsis Press. Professor Mark Wallace started the literary series on campus and over the years brought real world experience to the academic scene. His intentions included giving students the opportunity to see and discuss published work with the authors themselves. Student Jennifer Hylander admitted she had attended the event as a required assignment. However, she said, "I would have come even if it wasn't an assignment, because [Martin] is a great writer and I can learn something from him." The reading began with StephenPaul Martin instructing the listeners to clear their minds of intent and preconceived notions. He read a story inspired by illegal whaling practices and by Herman Melville's « Moby Dick. He forewarned us about by his intentions of portraying the way humans abuse animals for their own self-serving. Student Jeannine Clark' had mixed feelings on this aspect of on Martin's writing. She said, "Stephen-Paul Martin obviously is a very compassionate man with a big heart for animals. At times though, I felt like he had an agenda to push and that got in the way of the writing for me." She followed by adding, "I do think the reading series is important for literature and writing students so that we get the chance to see contemporary writers read and discuss their work." ; Even though this event is beneficial to the development of student, it has not escaped the looming shadow of the budget crisis. Last year there were three Literary Series events. This semester there will only be two events not because of lack of demand but because of lack of funding. "It's like they cut the things that help us most. I'm here because I want to be a good writer. Who else can teach me that but a good published writer? What are we paying for?" said student Rachel Busnardo. Salt to taste Pepper to taste Cook macaroni according to package direction in salted water. Drain and let cool. Fill pot with cold water and add eggs. On stovetop, bring water and eggs to boil. Bringing the eggs to boil starting with cold water will keep them f rom breaking. Boil eggs for seven minutes. Remove eggs from water and let cool. Mix green onion, bell pepper, lemon j uice and salt in bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.

Cougar kitchen BBQ & M ac BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Shoved in the back of my drawers and stuck in the crevices of my refrigerator are colorful packets of single serving sauces. I get them with tacos, chicken nuggets, french f ries and chow mien. They span great lengths of the. fast food and takeout culinary landscape. I am a hopeless packrat of packets, never throwing anything out because of the slim chance I might need it, whatever it may be. Finally came a day when my husband sat me down calmly and said, "Use it or lose it." Out of fear of jny collection of condiments going to t he trash, I turned my stash into dinner. Condiments are expensive. To buy a whole bottle of soy sauce when all you need is a splash can be overwhelming on the pocket book. In these two recipes I have used a bevy of basics such as mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, Tabasco, soy sauce, sugar, and even salt and pepper. I would also like to make a special thanks to Chik-Fil-A who has a lovely selection of condiments j ust lying out there in the open waiting for customers to choose. The sauce for my macaroni salad is basic and you can use it for tuna salad, chicken salad, even coleslaw. Also, BBQ sauce is a basic combination of sugar and ketchup, as used in my chicken recipe. So save those packets of condiments and get creative.

According to the official Army autopsy reports in the film, Dilawar was brutally beaten to death after only five days in custody at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. His death was reported on widely and it is clear that those who caused his death were heinous in their actions and it is still unclear how high up the chain of command the orders to treat prisoners in this fashion went. It is not too difficult to imagine that this came from the very highest levels of military command.

We are p aying more, and getting less. If the school is not going t o stick to these goals, maybe it is time to reevaluate them and be honest about the fact that the student, the teacher, and the quality of education are not a priority. The email o ffhandedly mentions that this is supposed to help classes. But t his is only a t emporary solution to a growing problem. When I was a f reshman, I did not sign up f or these cutbacks or expect that my campus would so easily discard my desire to l earn. On the CSUSM homepage, our school claims to b e "Roaring into Our 20s." T his must be some kind of j oke. Sure, i t's a milestone, but t here is not much t o celebrate if a fter twenty years the school is cutting back on student p rogress. Now is the t ime to get involved and make s omething happen f or the better. It is t ime to ask of our elected ASI o fficials t o f ight for the s tudents, like they promised us d uring the elections. Every person can get involved by signing up at www.savecsusm.org, where we can rally together to show that we care. If we let these l imits walk all over us, it is going t o keep happening. Those behind them are going to keep cutting back because they know they can. It is t ime to get our heads out of the sand. We cannot be the change our f uture needs if we cannot get a decent education. you can do, two things, either or both of which will definitely make you a happier person and each of which take very little time. First, keep a gratitude journal. A couple of times each week (put these on your weekly calendar), take two minutes and write down 5 things that you feel grateful for at that moment. They can be anything from thè most trivial (like this weather or that bagel), to your feelings about the people who have loved you, to your deepest feelings about God or nature. Write down 5 things, and as you do, try to actually feel the sense of good fortune and gratitude for each of them. That's it! Simple! Second, if you want to try something really powerful, think of one person that you feel very grateful to for being in your life, now or in the past. Write a one-page letter to that person, thanking the person for what s/he has meant And when you do think about to you. Tell him/her specifically these things, and try to picture that why you feel grateful to him/her person or thing vividly, you might and how lucky or blessed you feel also notice a good feeling visiting for his/her presence in your life you as you realize your good for- and how the person you are owes tune and how your life has always so much to him/her.

If you can't do it face to face, do it on the phone. Guarantee: you will both feel wonderful! So there you go, two simple exercises. Try either one or both. Amazingly, even doing a gratitude journal entry a couple of times a week will, I'm positive, make you a happier person. Counseling Services here at Cal State are available to all students at no charge. You don't have to have a 'mental illness' to see us. Many students come when they are struggling with the common stresses of college life, especially when these are 'getting in the way'. Many students use our services as an opportunity to learn more about themselves and grow as people. Confidential conversations with a professional can be a special opportunity to be completely honest with yourself with someone who won't judge you and who will strive to support your happiness and success. If you would like to make an appointment, call 750-4910.

If this keeps up, students will no longer be able to graduate in four years. BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Adults have always told me the youth are the f uture. Yet once again, the campus wronged the students. The f urloughs and tuition hikes were not enough I suppose, and I am l eft to wonder what kind of f uture is being set up for us. On October 6 ,1 got an email i nforming me that I will only b e able to apply for 13-units this spring. So, despite the extra $624 we all had to pay, and the cutbacks made in class time, we have to bear the burden of a f ailing economy by letting our education s uffer. The only thing more distressing than these cutbacks is the lack of outcry I have seen f rom students. Unless I was the only person emailed, I cannot f ind a reason why we as a student body have not done anything to change this. If you are on the fence or not sure of what is going on, now is the t ime to get f ired up. ssggggg gg g g g website there are f ive, very general and expected goals of a university.

Vice President of University Advancement, Neal Hoss, thanked the signers for their contributions and said that the beam "will be on permanent display" in the building once construction is complete. Karen Haynes, University President said, "It is particu- larly noteworthy that even in these d ifficult fiscal times, we were able to convince our system to provide us through the bond money with f unding to move this project forward." Both speakers mentioned the need for more f unding as well as describing the honor roll and naming o pportunities within the building for all sponsors. Vivian Bennett represented the Social and Behavioral Sciences Faculty. She said faculty in her department "empower citizens by teaching them critical thinking about the common good," and a new building for them will benefit the campus and surrounding community. Chris Devers, chairman of the Pauma Band of Luiseno Indians, reminded attendees, "This i s Luiseno land," and he hoped the building would r eflect that in architecture, Photos by Maeve Camplisson respect for the Earth, and providing an environment for Native American students.

We've all heard of the Mozart effect. Studies show that Mozart's compositions administered in daily doses boosts a child's developing intellect. Beethoven allegedly enhances creativity. And best of all, according to the Francis Payne Bolton School of Nursing in Cleveland, listening to Vivaldi post-op will actually promote healing and patient wellbeing. Current musical stylings like hip-hop and the endless variants of rock do little to advance relaxation or IQs. Besides, the only classical music present in the 21st century seems to be snippets of Debussy's Claire de Lune or an abridged version of J.C. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in car commercials (travesty, I know). So, knowing how beneficial classical composition seems to be, why aren't there modern composers and musicians perpetuating this positivity? There are, I promise. The "golden age" of classical music may have come and gone, but there is a man versed in classical repertoire breathing new life into the field. Matt Haimovitz, a 38-yearold cellist born in Israel, made his performance debut at 13 as a soloist with the Israel Philharmonic after intense training in Palo Alto, California by the world-renowned cellist Irene Sharp. At 17, Haimovitz and his family moved back to the States and he performed with the Chicago and New York Philharmonic orchestras. He also signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, a German classical record company, and received several awards for his work with the label. In 1996, upon graduation from Harvard, he terminated his contract with Deutsche Grammophon out of a desire to explore non-standard styles of classical music. His variations were a success in (of all places) rock venues, and he went on to found his own record label, Oxingale. Haimovitz does not record any original works. In his newest approach, he creates variants of established pieces by modern artists like Elliott Carter, Ana Sokolovic, and Steven Stucky, and infuses them with electronic styling. Haimovitz's most recent release, Figment, is the perfect album to help temper your tastes if you aren't ready to dive head first into a symphony.

Faris may never reach the comedic heights of a Lucille Ball, but that doesn't lessen the solid talent she consistently brings to the screen. She has great timing and a real gift for comedy,fromsatire to slapstick. In this film, a group of sorority nerdettes might lose their house due to a lack of pledges. The Playboy mansion, Shelley's home, sends her away through the underhanded work of arivalbunny. As she wanders the streets not knowing what to do or where to go, she ends up finding her real place at the Zeta sorority house. The plot here is fairly derivative, but the writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith did a very nice job misdirecting the viewer enough to keep the moviefreshand interesting. The supporting cast of nerdettes are exactly what one might expect in this type of film, and their transformationfromthe unseen to the must be seen also travels tried and true storylines, but it is perhaps this familiarity which allows the view«* to connect more easily with the protaganistas. Interjected are just enough truly comic bits, such as when Shelly is helping to makeover the girls and she instructs them with the deepest sincerity that they must use makeup to showcase their eyes for4 the eyes are the nipples ofthe face." Certainly not a film that requires deep reflection, but there is more than enough rentable fimm this fihiitomakertworth a view. "What to See" *** "The Mighty Boosh" is written by and starring Julian Barratt as Howard Moon and Noel Fielding as Vince Noir in a Britcom television program which combines comedy, fantasy and musicatelements. Hmm, how do I communicate the sounds and images that leapfromthe screen while watching this show? That is a tough assignment. Fielding plays a character named Richmond on my favorite Britcom "The IT Crowd" and it is for that reason alone that I took a shot at this show. After having watched the first season of Boosh, I am still watching and still am not quite sure why I am watching or more precisely what it Tuesday, October 13, 2 009 is I am watching. The comedy is not particularly sharp. Acting is over the top and likely this is intentional. The story lines are straight from the dream states of the writers. The sets and costumes are equally cheesy and outlandish. Perhaps it is like taking a journey into the sleeping mind of Lewis Carroll or Edgar Allen Poe only less sophisticated. It is entertaining for sure, and at times more than a bit disturbing. If for no other reason, watch it at least one time, for it is truly like nothing you have ever seen before. You might even enjoy the musical segment, which can be the best part of the show. So for that reason alone I would rate this as a "What to See" somewhere between * and ****, your guess is as good as mine. Layers create visual interest BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer grey, white) the more versatile the cardigan will be. Try to stay with neutral or earth tones and you will be able to wear your cardigan with nearly anything. The last thing you should consider when buying a cardigan is the material. Try to go with a t hinner f iner fabric like f ine merino wool or cashmere. If the cardigan is too thick and bulky y ou'll not only risk looking like Mr. Rogers, but you'll also limit its versatility. The online Merriam-Webster dictionary d efines a cardigan as a sweater or jacket that opens the f ull length of the center f ront. Essentially a cardigan is a sweater that opens in the f ront. The cardigan has escaped the closet of g randfather's everywhere and has become an important fall staple. It also applies to this week's fashion tip. A cardigan is great because it is universally u seful and accessible to everyone. You can wear a cardigan with anything. Pair it with a normal graphic or band t-shirt for a casual look or a button down oxford and tie for a more sophisticated look. You can't go wrong when layering with a cardigan, so pick one in your favorite color and wear it everywhere. When purchasing a cardigan there are several things to look for. You should purchase a cardigan that f its well, it should f rame your torso without overwhelming your silhouette or being too tight. You should also take note of the color.

Forethought and planning resulted in a relatively orderly beginning to the evening, as those in charge had set up a viewing room for those not fortunate enough to get into the main room. The overflow room offered the presentation via closed circuit television. Dr. Jonathan S. Marion, an on campus professor of Anthropology, presented the event, "Meanings in Motion." Dr. Marion's focus is on Visual Anthropology as it applies to Ballroom dance. He is no mere scientific observer, he is also an enthusiastic participant. One might wonder i f such a deep involvement in the field one studies might cloud scientific judgment, but in the case of Dr. Marion, this involvement leads to a deeper insight and better understanding of the subject at hand rather than conflict. Dr. Marion is easy to spot on campus with his uptempo stride, short ponytail and neatly trimmed doorknocker facial hairstyle. He is very approachable, knowledgeable, and dare I say stylish. On this evening he brought everything he had t o the presentation along with a mild nervous swaying during the presentation.

The IDSF currently has a presence with National Member Federations in 86 countries. Following the lecture, the audience finally got what they came for as three separate dance couples, and another group with four female dancers demonstrated what the IDSF is all about. Performing four of the standard dances from IDSF competition were dance partners Paul, Cloud and Borbala Bunnett who beautifully and gracefully danced the Waltz, the Tango, the Foxtrot, and the Viennese Waltz. Dazzling beaded costumes, changed between dances added to the majesty of the moment. Not to be outdone, Serena Cuevas of Deseo Dance Company in San Diego showed off some very hot Latin moves with her dance partner Anthony. Husband and wife team David and Jennifer of Majesty in Motion also turned up the heat with some passionate Salsa moves of their own. On this night of great dancing and entertainment there was not one star, but a small constellation as everyone involved lit up the night and left a little stardust in the memories of everyone in the audience.

Dagnabit Productions brings musical comedy to life at CSUSM BY DIANA VALDI VIA Pride Staff Writer What do you get when you put together Dagnabit Productions and a musical comedy script?

XXII N O. 5 T HAT'S NSIDE Local band headlining S OMA show this Friday ns fts & Entertainment Hits of Sunshine feSee Page 6 r icks & Treats p See Page 8 o p S cary M ovies BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Editor In Chief On weekend nights, the doors at SOMA open to fans of a range of musical acts from the more mainstream such as Dashboard Confessional, Panic! At the Disco, and Thrice to up-and-coming acts like Forever the Sickest Kids and Boys Like Girls. For local bands, getting the opportunity to perform at this hidden venue located across from the San Diego Sports Arena is a big step upfromjam sessions in the garage. This Friday, Oct. 23, two of CSUSM's very,own will perform with the rest oftheir band, Trains and Clouds, as the headliners at SOMA'S next show. The band's current four-man roster includes CSUSM's Philip "Felipe" Macias on guitar and Ben RofTee on bass, with locals Drew "Drewski" Carillo on drums and Jonny Paine on piano and vocals. Trains and Clouds originated back in 2007 when current members, Carillo and Paine, teamed up with two other long-time friends, Isaac Zagunis and Olin Brown. With the band formation complete, they went straight into writing music, developing a distinct sound. In typical fashion, however, the group had yet to come up with a name. During a brainstorming session, one member asked the others what they each liked doing. "One of us said 'Stare into the clouds,' while another answered, 'I like to think and gather my thoughts on trainrides,'so we put two and two together and came up with Trains and Clouds' representing thought or the thinking process," said Carillo. Shortly after the band began performing at venues such as SOMA, Zagunis and Brown opted out of the band. Remaining members, Carillo and Paine, later added Macias and RofFee to the revised group. "When Jon told me that Trains and Clouds was looking for a bassist, I asked them if I could try out," said Roffee. "I didn't have any real experience as a bassist and only very minimal bass equipment but things went well and the rest, as they say, is history." Though Trains and Clouds' Facebook page categories the band into the Indie/Alternative/Pop genre, the band members themselves are hesitant to define their sound. "I would describe the sound of Trains and Clouds as a mixture of themes rather than a handful of genres. To me, genres are silly because they are often times pinned to a certain lifestyle or counterculture," said Macias. "When that happens, fens seem to alienate themselvesfromgenres of music because „theyiJon^ associated with those who do look the part" As a guitarist, Macias' technical influences include John Mayer, Jesse Barrera (My American Heart), Justin Shekoski (Saosin), and Jonathan Paine. "In our music, there is a synthesis of a lot of different influences into something that is straightforward and relentlessly melodic. We're not some forcefully abstract, self-professed 'experimental' pretentious indie rock band," said Roffee. "There is something natural and communicative in the way we write and it seems like a lot of people have an easy time connecting to our music. We make no apologies for ambiguities in describing our music, there is so much more explained in the process of discovering it than we could ever try to iterate in words." This emerging band, with tracks such as "Oh Sailor" and "Sketch Alley Memorial," promises to show the crowd a good time this Friday. "Our music is for everybody. We try to create music for all age groups and tunes that people want to hear over again," says Macias. "The songs we write together are our favorite songs, so it's even more enjoyable when we can share them with an audience." Openers for the Oct. Images courtesy of Trams Armada, and Wintercolour. Tickets are $8.00 with doors opening at 7:00pm. "People should come out to the show because we are a band that fills the room with our energy," said Carillo. "If you enjoy a good live stow we definitely recommend coming out to our show this Friday" According to its website, SOMA is committed to "teaching new talent how to market and progress through the industry while offering a safe and energetic environment for those SOMA prides itself on exposing the community, especially local youth, to music and entertainment in a drug and alcoholfreeenvironment. The venue also supports various charities including "Stand Up Fear Kids" and "Street of Dreams: Musicians for Education."

As exciting as this is on a purely f un level for video games, it also harkens to science fiction horror.

Or if this got combined with robots we may find ourselves in the apocalyptic world prescribed by the "Terminator" series. Yet nothing about this device is scarier than the idea of the government using it to monitor and subdue the population in a f uture similar to George Orwell's "1984."

Not j ust the money needed to cover all the increased tuition f ees for next semester, but money for all the extraneous needs of the "holiday" season, like Halloween costumes, C hristmas presents, and Winter break vacations. Many students already have p art time j obs, but for those who are f ull-time students and need some extra cash for the holidays, there is always the option of seasonal work. When "seasonal j obs" are mentioned, the immediate thought for most of us is the guy waving signs for costume stores on the street corner. But the reality is that a number of retailers look for extra workers around this time to handle the increased customer volumes, and most don't involve wearing rubber masks. Probably the number one source of seasonal work comes f rom food retailers. Don't f ind the idea of f lipping burgers too appealing? T hat's okay; many places like Starbucks and local grocery stores o ffer viable alternatives and need people to help during the rush of Thanksgiving/Christmas customers. Positions like bagger or cashier may not seem that glamorous, but when in need of extra income there is little room to complain. Also, local pumpkin patches that spring up along San Marcos Boulevard are good places to f ind work because they inevitably become Christmas t ree lots, insuring a position up until December. Not to mention the bevy of stores, both food and otherwise, in local malls that need extra employees for the holiday r ush. Food, however, is not everyone's idea of ideal work, even in temporary situations. During the month of October, quite a few people apply to the Halloween costume superstores that seem to be springing up in the wake of stores like Circuit City and Mervyns closing for good. But there are plenty of year-round retailers looking for p art-timers as well, most notably electronics stores like RadioShack, where employees haves the chance to earn more than hourly wages with commission sales. In addition, big chain clothing stores in local malls and outdoor plazas, like JCPenney, Macys, and Nordstrom "-^•j.1 o ffer seasonal work that can lead to promotions and higher positions as time goes on. "I started out here as a cashier last November," said Chelsea Pratt, a CSUSM sophomore who works at the Nordstrom in the Westfield Mall at Escondido. "It was j ust as a parttime cashier at f irst, but now I 'm a part-time manager. So yeah, part-time j obs can d efinitely lead to opportunities to d ealing with rude customers and t heir kids all day? And on t he f lip side, you may find something you really enjoy doing and want to continue for t he remainder of your time at school. So if money's tight for you t his early into Fall, it may be t ime to bite the bullet and look for something that f its in with your school schedule. But be warned: don't expect to get Holidays off. advance." Not a lot of these " jobs" sound like a dream come t rue, but hey, they are only t emporary. If a nything, your experiences can be the f uel t hat f ires you to work harder in school and f ind your career. What could be better motivation to reach for that higher j ob position than the memory of coming home late every night, smelly and t ired f rom Photo courtesy of venturacountvstar.com — r WBm ¡1 111 Located just over tfie hill from Cat State ,San Marcos right in t he heart of t he San , Elijo Hills Towncenter, MarketWalk p uts you steps from t he best t hat this award winning MARKETWALK I a t s a n e l i j o h ills¡8 12 U nique T ownhomes Starting in the High $ 300's D on't m iss t his l imited o pportunity t o o w n a p i e c e o f t h e S a n Elijo T o w n c e n t e r community h as t o offer - convenient Towncenter retail, a n 18 mile trail network, a 19 acre park and 2 new schools, MarketWalk's flexible floorplans feature designer selected interior finishes which reflect the distinctive exterior architecture.

October 1 7,2009 Hundreds of r unners and spectators descended upon Mangrum Track & Soccer Field on Saturday and watched as the CSUSM men's and women's cross-country teams won the 2009 Cougar 5K/8K Challenge! The event, which is p art of the USATF Dirt Dawg Series, took place on a winding course that started on Mangrum Field and led runners through the University's " front yard," around the dirt parking lots, up Craven Drive, and back onto the f ield. Entry was open to everyone, as local runners competed with collegiate teams f rom California Baptist, Soka Univer- sity, Southwestern (AZ), and of course Cal State San Marcos. In the 5k competition, the #2-ranked Cougar squad carried the collegiate race, taking spots 1 through 7. The team f inished in a group led by Dallon Williams, who timed in at 18:08. Cady Villarrpal and Whitney Patton f inished in 18:09, Lindsey McKown at 18:10, Jessica Sandoval at 18:19, Kelly Thompson at 18:20, and J ennifer Albright at 18:30. Also competing f or the Cougars were Suzanne Scrimenti (9th; 18:34), Melissa Olmos (10th; 18:54), Jenna Nicholl (13th; 19:44), Brooke Smith (15th; 19:56), Reyna Gutierrez (17th; 20:04), Justine Lazare (19th; 20:11), Laura Heuring (25th; 20:38), Kimberly Rowland (26th; 20:41), Claire Hauso (27th; 20:49), and Christina Cooper (28th; 21:09). CSUSM f inished with a team score of 15 - the best possible score in cross-country. Cal Baptist f inished second with a score of 50, and Soka finished third with a score of 83. Overall in the 5k competition, the race was won by Joey Bonfiglio with a time of 17:26. Former Cougar All-American Anne Marie Byrne finished s econd at 17:33, and an A llAmerican f rom last season, Morgan Sjogren, took fourth at 17:57. The men's 8K collegiate competition was much more tense, as the Cougars pulled out a narrow win over Cal Baptist. Led by Muluken Beressa and Dave Williams, who finished first and second, respectively, CSUSM pulled out a team 24 to 31 win over CBU. Beressa posted a blistering time of 24:39 to finish first among collegiate runners in the 8K, and Edwards was not far behind with an excellent 24:53. Chris Capeau took 4th with a time of 25:30, Chris Strasheim was 7th at 26:05, and Bernardo Bahena finished 10th at 26:32. The sixth and seventh spots on the team were occupied by Patrick Fitzgerald (11th; 26:38) and Casey Evans (14th; 27:21). Also competing for the Cougar men's cross-country team were Miguel Vega (17th; 27:40), Mark Shimmin (18th; 27:44), Dave Slack (20th; 28:00), Thomas Polhill (23rd; 28:35), Antonio Sanchez (26th; 29:04), and Dimitri Eraditius (29th; 30:04). In the overall 8k competition, Nazario Romero finished first at 24:27, narrowly edging out Beressa, who took second overall. Cougar cross-country will be in action next Saturday at the Biola Invitational.

The two-round tournament, which was hosted by San Diego State on Salt Creek Golf Course in Chula Vista, featured six NCAA schools and the Cougars. Playing with j ust four players, the Cougars shot a team round of 339 on Tuesday, four shots better than Monday's 343, for a total of 682. Cal State Northridge won the event with a team total of 595. Leading the way for CSUSM was once again Stephanie Cole. The sophomore shot 80 on Tuesday a fter Monday's 79, giving her a final score of +15 (189), good for 18th place in the field. Second on the team was Ellyse Siu, who shot back-toback 81's to finish tied for 19th with a 162. Roxanne Mejia shot 85-82 to tie for 25th, and Jennifer Conway shot 98-96 to finish 40th. Northridge's Ashlee Nagamine won the individual competition with a score of 146. was j ust one mistake or bad bounce away f rom losing. But in the 85th minute, Bradley Seidenglanz hit a ball into the box, and Brandon Zuniga f inally found the back of the net with a header. That would prove to be the game winner, as CSUSM escaped with a 1-0 win. " The team is w illing t heir way to win," commented Pulvers. Keeper Kevin Ernst was rarely tested and made one save to pick up the shutout. CSUSM will be in action t his Friday at Soka. M en's soccer escapes La Sierra with 1-0 win October 18, 2009 It w asn't easy, but Cougar men's soccer battled through tough playing conditions and f inally found the back of the net to e arn a 1-0 v ictory a La Sierra University. The win improves t he Cougars to 8-5 on the year. La Sierra f alls to 4 -8. Sunday's contest had all the makings of a t rap game for the Cougars, who have been r iding high since a 1-0 s tart. The squad was coming off an emotional, dominating 5-1 win on Senior Day and playing on the road against a team with a losing record - all ingredients for a potential let-down. CSUSM came out f iring, generating t hree very dangerous early chances but narrowly missing on all of them.

Unlike many people I know, I'm very impartial to the new film. Luckily, talking about the movie is not necessary when talking about the soundtrack. I might need to talk about it a little bit though, seeing as how this adaptation of a nearly 50-yearold, ten sentence book is a sort of magnet for indie culture. That would be a groundless assumption if it weren't for the music. Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote the majority of the soundtrack. Spike Jonze, her former boyfriend, directed the film and commissioned her to write a soundtrack that reflected the innocent, yet distantly dark tone that, according to Jonze, he wanted to achieve. The band Karen O put together, Karen O and the Kids, includes Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence of The Dead Weather, Greg Kurstin of The Bird and the Bee, Yeah Yeah Yeahs bandmates Brian Chase and Nick Zinner, Bradford Cox of Deer- Bp Sané* Chalmers/AdE Eälwt i Declaration of Dependence IIÄS" [ .mNmvegiaafoikdK>,ErnkGlambekB0e- P 'tteetete a lbumfeaturesjg^m^tim&tm^ Overall ft&rsew . \: Late Night Tales imswmmL Itóník^ !

I don't think you need me to tell you this is an epic record. Now, I haven't actually seen the movie, so I unfortunately can't explain how it contributed to the film's message or atmosphere or anything like that. Unlike many soundtracks, this one is able to stand alone as what might as well be Karen O and the Kids' debut album (that's code for "I hope they end up making another one"). The first single of the 14-track album, "All is Love," was digitally released at the end of August, while the album didn't drop until nearly a month later. The feel of the music is not entirely different from anything any of these artists have released before, but it does have a certain vulnerability absent from the more in-yourface Karen O style. Karen O does most of the lead vocals that double and triple over more subtle male voices. Though riddled with tambourines and animalistic screams, the songs are focused enough to produce a successful series of fresh tracks. In a perfect world, Karen O and the Kids will keep making music like what they've made here without the incentive of backing a major motion picture. Until that world is realized, these wild tunes will help your imagination bridge the proverbial gap. /CHRISTIAN R ö C a l i Ä Ä iltteWW f KUTLESS - '§ ¡ p Mudhliketl^ sounds of RelientKand ; [ Switchfoofc, Kutíess's t mr álbum offers | o ri^iaísomidswilhamkofcl^sioworfrip can <fcTfeaturesGrammy award winning producer Bmwn Bannister, - ; Images courtesy ofamazon.com I II Ii tober 20-27 Poetic Titesäty wtth Eber Lambert A poetìc| i m ghi m Rebeefc&*s Coffeehouse m S m D iego r I dol's beloved» Adam L ambert's dad, E ber hos^by Lamberti * Mi KOD O HO m : attttges ; UpmfOtt&ges all jeweiiy, paintings, a nd sculptures a s artwork along University A venue a nd 5 t h A it Hite. $pm,aUages of Blues m Sm Diego, öie Swedish riot ¡lead singer, Maja lyarssoii, wiftbringa garage music* BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer undead.

ASI holds Love Yoúf Body event BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday October 29 during university hour, men and women alike visited the Library Plaza and participated in "Love Your Body Day." The plaza was f ull of booths, giveaways, and activities encouraging students to love their bodies. The ASI Women's Center put on this event for the fourth year in a row, but the National Organization for Women (NOW) started this event 12 years ago. Jessica Castro, a Women's Center peer educator and the coordinator of "Love Your Body D ay" described it as "an event about positive body image." The NOW website descepáis it as a day encouraging wqújga*tó "fight b ack" against cosmetic, fashion, and diet industries which "work hard to make each of us believe that our bodies are unacceptable and need constant improvement" in order to sell their products. The event on campus included tables by organizations f rom on and o ff campus promoting positive body image, health, and athletics. Clif Bar gave out f ree samples of the LUNA bar which they market towards women, and Froyo Love gave f ree yogurt to anyone who got a card stamped to prove he or she had checked i | n at every booth. §^Sttident Health and Counseling Services representatives Cathy Nguyen, a health educator, and Shannon Starnater, an intern, talked to students about healthy habits and remind them that they have access to nutritional counselors. One popular table at t he event was one at which people could color drawings of a vagina with crayons. Melissa R odriguez of t he Women's Center explained that t he coloring sheets were " for the inner child in all of u s t o get more f amiliar with their vagina and to not t hink of them as ugly or scary," and explained that children o ften Photos by Maeve Camplisson learn t hrough coloring books and worksheets. The Women's Center had another booth selling pink shirts, which read, " Start a revolution. Stop hating your body." They also gave away buttons with various empowering messages. The LGBTA club set up a table against domestic violence, and J ennifer Meneray, club president, explained to visitors that domestic violence can be committed by anyone and towards anyone no matter their gender, despite popular stereotypes. The Pride Center gave away f ree bracelets and supplies while visitors had the o pportunity t o write and draw positive messages inside a traced body. �TEP D H RE I Faces & Places Way, Watch out the Tea Party Express is abouti Money Management BY JAMES ROCHE Pride S taff Writer Depending on whom you are and how much you keep track ofthe news and politics, you may have heard that the Tea Party Express arrived in San Diego last Sunday at Tuna Harbor Park. The movement hits 38 cities in 17 different states, starting in San Diego, California and eventually ending u pjn Orlando, Florida three weeks later. Other states being visited include Alabama, Louisiana and most notably Texas, which has the most stops on the schedule with 7. As t heJgsy|8B was in S p Diego I fektisfe^v^inldeal opportunity to invest^gate j ust w ^at the Tea jfearty Express supportirs were actually protesting a bout Upon arriving I sdw ffaeq? was j£&rowd gathering, m ^ y holding t iigns expressing their views. "Just Say No to the O," "Socialists are just thieves with an education," "Obama don't attack our freedom of Xpression, What are you afraid of, the truth?" I decided to interview a few local residents about why they were at the protest and what they thought of their President of the United States. One man said, "I stood up against communism when I was in the Navy and now they're in the White House." Ha^was worried about his grandchildren and their future ifthe country continued the way he thought it was going. He also talked about his views on health care, he said, "It's not about giving health care, it's about controlling the people." _ Another protestor shared similar views, she said, "It's a move towards socialism, taking over the health care system, appointing tsars. We need to reform the health care system, not replace i t" When asked about their thoughts on Obama they seem to respond negatively towards the President, one man said, "He's pathetic. He's put all the tsars in the white house, he starting out with socialism. If he gets a second term the country will be in a hell of a situation." Other pvrotestors went further, "He's completely t akingthe country in the wrong direction. He's not done anything. He's j us|a PR figmen^a persona, a celeBnty ^ i d e n t " % said onewoman. One protestor had a difr; ferent insight O Obama, he said, Q "Would you I k your 16 year old daughter learn to drive in your $100,000 Mercedes?" I replied no, he then said* "Well that is like what Obama is doing with this country; he?s learning to drive with this country.- That had t o Be the best quote that I got during the day. He also said, ¿"He's buying people, buying the public, with peanuts." As a writer and an exchange student I am trying to remain impartial, but you, the reader, can look at the protestors' comments and form your own opinion. Do you think these people have a point? Or are they completely wrong? Do you think that Obama is taking America into a brighter future?

Best-case scenario: recitation of the lyrics could pass as a poem (a well-crafted poem, specifically). Granted, there are plenty of artists out there whose real talent is musical composition. Call me biased, call me crazy, but I'll get defensive if you call me wrong. Of course, this is a bit of an irrational claim. Considering a lot of the most popular musicians don't even write their lyrics (a la Britney Spears, anyone?), I'm sure my feeble views aren't the consensus of the listening world. After I realized that, I figured a little selfreflection was in order. There are 62 Sigur Ros tracks in my music library. I know there are more to be had, but I'd say a collection of that many songs provides a decent knowledge of the band. Something that just happened to get past me for a time is that the song lyrics are in Icelandic. Ok, big deal. I don't understand the meaning of the words, but they sure sound nice. And Jonsi Birgisso, lead singer and lyricist, is so creative that he crafted an entire album without actual lyrics. Guitarist Goggi Holm makes strange, howling noises by dragging a cello bow across his strings, while Kjarri Sveinsson and Orri Pall Dyrason add more interest with keyboards and percussion. Now is the point of no return.

The album ( ) is easily the band's most inventive work. In Sigur Ros's 2006 documentary, Heima, Birgisso said the human voice is too separate from the music it accompanies. In other words, the nonexistent lyrics of ( ) are the most refined gibberish on the planet. Birgisso calls the emotive "language" Hopelandic, or Vonlenska in Icelandic. Incidentally, ( ) just happens to be my favorite Sigur Ros album. And look at that, there are no lyrics to speak of. Notice that it's even a mystery how to actually say ( ) aloud. Sigur Ros's four other studio albums have lyrics, but the majority of them are in Icelandic. Their meanings are only accessible through shoddy translations from fans on the internet, so the real effect of the words is simply masked by translation. On their latest album, Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust (translation: With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly), there is one song in English, called "AH Alright." As per the norm, the song is an instrumental beauty. But the lyrics, some of which hardly make sense, don't propel the song the way the ambient sounds do. Did you catch that? It's the music that makes the song. I set out writing this with the objective of proving myself wrong, and this unassuming Icelandic band helped me do it. Innovation is the name of the game here, and if an artist can write a successful song using all of three words, he must be doing something right. Sigur Ros, you're doing it right.

Faces & Places Registration delays have students and faculty worried ieet the Professor mfalMÄWMi BY MATT LEWIS Faces & Places Editor I Sports Cross-Country I Champs ts & Entertainment Hits of Sunshine Last week, over 1,000 students participated in the " human 2 0" photograph as p art of the celebration for CSUSM's 20th anniversary. Despite the proverbial cloud looming over CSUSM and other Cal State campuses throughout California, t his event shows signs of a s hift in morale across the campus. Unfortunately, celebrating twenty years may not be enough of a momentous occasion to overshadow the continuing e ffects of the diminishing budget for higher education. Many students at CSUSM expressed concern when the beginning of November came and went t his last week without a sign, or even a whisper, regarding registration for next year. Typically, the students who are guaranteed early registration, such as f reshmen, athletes, and orientation team members, receive a generated e-mail f rom the O ffice of the Registrar when midterms roll around n otifying them of upcoming registration dates. As that time has clearly come and gone, students may have another thing to add t o the long list of stressors related to the higher education budget crunch. Like "recession" or "swine f lu," the budget cuts are becoming the d e-facto phrase that practically every branch of the university h as using to explain anything delayed, closed, or rescheduled. "Most of the time, the planning for next semester is done before October," said Joan Anderson, a CSUSM writing professor. "But this year, [the Registration Committee] didn't f inish until the middle of October." Budget cuts or not, CSUSM o fficials cannot simply delay the spring semester, leaving students and f aculty alike uneasy about the limited time to plan and schedule. At t his point, the details surrounding the scheduling delay are f uzzy, but the ever-present excuse of "budget c uts" r emains. Now the students at CSUSM will have to make even more of a mad dash than usual to get the coveted seats in the classes they need. This delay is even a ffecting those who a ren't even students here yet. "My f riend who goes to CSUSM told me to expect a registration e-mail before November," said Brian Aragon, and incoming t ransfer student f rom Colorado. "When I didn't get anything at the beginning of the month, I got worried because the classes I want f ill up pretty quick. Plus, I have to make sure all the housing plans go through as well [...] but w hat's the point of making the move if I c an't get into the right classes? Basically I have a lot riding on it." Unfortunately, the Pride could not reach the O ffice of the Registrar for comment in time for t his article to go t o p rint. In reality, the Committee is not at f ault here. Rather, they ai:e as a ffected by t his changing university environment as faculty and students are. It is important to remember how budget cuts a ffect every facet of university life; f urloughs, dropped classes, limited library hours* and semester unit caps are all results. How much more can the school cut back before it starts to a ffect the quality of our education? Who's t o say that it has not, already?

IVAN G ARCIA FRJSTE MAEVE CAMPLISSON : Viewpoint THE PRIDE M y shrink's column In case you haven't noticed, we passed the middle of the semester and are heading into crunch time. You should know by now where you actually stand in your classes. The opportunities to improve your grades are dwindling. Once Thanksgiving comes, it's a steep downhill r un to finals. I assume that stress is becoming noticeable. It's a normal response to demands that the world is making on us. It kicks us into a higher gear, gets the juices flowing, forces our minds into mpdes of worrying, planning, and problem solving. Many students say they work best under pressure, and this makes sense. Stress triggers the body's "fight or flight" mechanism, and the way to "fight" upcoming assignments is to get to work on them now. But for some, stress can be too much, and this is certainly not helpful. When we have too much stress, it interferes with our lives and makes it harder to take care of business. Our minds become so jumbled with worries that we can't concentrate. Our normal eating and sleeping patterns are disrupted. Some people lose their appetites almost completely, while others start to binge, perhaps in an effort to settle themselves down. Some find it very hard to fall asleep, or stay asleep, so pressured are they with the feeling that there is so much that needs to be done. Others are so overwhelmed that they might sleep more than normal, out of the exhaustion that chronic stress has on the body and out of a sense of hopelessness in the face of all that undone work. This syndrome of being under too much stress often gets worse before it gets better. Each part of it (its effects on concentration, mood, sleep, and appetite) tends to lead to making the problems worse rather than solving them. If 1 can't concentrate, I fall f urther behind or write papers that are of lousy quality. If I've not slept or eaten properly, my body is not at its best and cannot cope effectively with the challenges hurled at it. And as the problems worsen, the grades sink, and the assignments pile up, the stress increases and the cycle can get out of hand. So let me offer two pieces of advice for this moment in the semester. First, because you are not hopelessly behind yet (you're not, are you!?), this is the critical moment to get organized. Take a calendar and enter every assignment t hat's due from now until finals week. Make sure that you see all the tests, quizzes, and papers coming well in advance. Make sure you find time just about every day to make some progress on your schoolwork. The amount of time you spend in leisure activities may have to be temporarily reduced to ensure that you stay on top of your work now. Your reward will be play-time later, with decent grades behind you. Make a firm resolve to get organized and disciplined now, for the rest of the semester. Second, if you feel that your stress level is out of control in the ways I described, get some assistance. Talk to your professors. Go to review sessions. And, if it would help, give us a call at Counseling Services to make an appointment. Our staff is very familiar with treating student stress and can give you some tools to s often the blows of all that pressure. To do so, call or drop by Student Health & Counseling Services (750-4910; location is Suite 100 in the SMACC building).

But this past Friday, I wanted to go out for dinner and a movie with my better half. Since we got out of dinner earlier than expected, we got to the show very early. That gave us enough time to see t he j ungle t hat in Friday night at the cinema. Usually, the amount of flashing lights and advertisements on a normal night is overwhelming. But when we went, it was startling to see all that was going on inside the lobby. We were attacked by men in black shirts asking u s to take surveys about television. And people f rom H P were begging us to t ry their new printers. Both o ffering p rizes wanting personal information. Since we were early, we humored them and checked them out. On one hand, it gave us something t o do while we waited t o get in to our theater. But I can imagine it would be frustrating to work past this crowd of advertisers to get to your seat. And in a way, it made me sad to see the cinema "pimping" out its lobby space. In the big picture, I know it is not a big deal. It is j ust a little unsettling to consider how these people have the audacity to be so in-you-face, and how susceptible the general population is to this media. I understand the cinema is not f ree f rom advertising and product placement, but this seemed really out of place. This was j ust one of those moments I stepped back to see that I have been affected by advertising. N o matter how much we like to think we are above it, advertising has changed our world, and continues to invade. Classifieds Hey$tiysi Do you enjoy raunch humor?

The Pride recently had the privilege t o sit down with Professor Breuer to ask her a few questions. Pride: When was your first semester at CSUSM? Breuer: I s tarted CSUSM in t he f all of 2007. Pride: Before C SUSM, where did you teach? Breuer: I taught at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio f rom 2003 t o 2007. Pride: Where did you get your Bachelors? Breuer: 1 got my bachelors at a school called Florida Southern College in 1994. I a ctually double majored in Biology and English. I originally wanted to be a Veterinarian but t hroughout my Biology degree I learned that I 'm squeamish and that I d on't like hospitals. So then I continued with English. I got my masters in English at Florida State University and my PhD at the University of A rizona. Pride: When did you start teaching? Breuer: I s tarted t eaching t wo classes a semester when I s tarted t he m asters p rogram u p u ntil I received my PhD.

With the passing of Halloween, so passes the spirit of shoveling mounds of sweet, sugary treats into our gobs and dressing up in outfits that leave nothing to the imagination. Now that the holidays are upon us, being abroad just seems to help further the fact that we might not be with our loved ones during these times of family and unity. Obviously, it's November, a time of cool weather, falling leaves, and capitalism in the face of an impending Christmas. Ah, 'tis the season. So between the time of being away in England and coming back home (more or less about 1 month), what's a guy like me to do without the long held tradition of munching on varying-Thanksgiving meals? This is the first time I'll be away from family this Thanksgiving, and while it may be liberating, it's also an odd change without the giant Butterball turkey, mashed potatoes, or corn (ah, corn). It's times like these when the hidden emotions start to emerge and you just realize, as great as this abroad experience may be, I miss home. During these times, the best cure would be to connect with those you love back home. Not through email or Facebook, but through handwritten postcards or letters. It's these little extra steps that will show you, as well as the people back home, that they're/you are missed. And who doesn't like receiving something in the mail? It's exciting! You feel like an adult with mortgages or j unk mail, which only encourages you to put on some fake glasses and reply humorously with, "Ah, I see the electric bill has come in. Let's see what the damage is." I'm not sure what it is but just reading small notes from friends and family shows the care they put into packing a box f ull of tortillas and coffee mix (thanks, mom) or writing a few words letting you know that you're missed. Yeah, it sucks being away, especially if you know your sister is going to get the giant turkey leg this year and not you. But this is the time to be out on your own and create your own traditions and celebrations. Do something during Thanksgiving that will be memorable, whether it be going away on a trip or sharing this American tradition with those not familiar with it. As terrible as it may be to retell the actual stories (not the happy go lucky, what we're taught in elementary school story) of the terrible things done to the true founders of this land (you know who you are), maybe now is time to start a tradition of bringing people together under a banner of cultural differences and just enjoying each other's company. And maybe a trip to KFC would be cool too (turkey, fried chicken, what's the difference?)

They sample music, patch together bits and pieces to make tracks two hours long, and have pretty cool names. The point is, a DJ's status as an "artist" just isn't warranted the way a songwriter's is. I've already thought heavily about sampling: artists taking "pieces" of songs and more or less recycling them as parts of a new whole. Most songwriters will just take a riff or a break (percussion) to loop while they compose on top of it. Most DJs rely on the entirety of a song to produce material, sometimes in the form of remixes. So, titles aside, there are definitely varying degrees of talent among DJs. On the lower end, we have the guy who DJed your Junior Prom. And on the upper echelon of DJ glory, we have DJ Shadow. DJ Shadow, born Joshua Davis, warrants the designation of artist. His collaborations with musicians span genres and trends, and his solo work retains mass appeal among listeners, critics, and fellow artists. With a career exceeding two decades, DJ Shadow's hold on the future of hip hop is as strong as it has ever been. Big names outside of hip hop call upon Shadow for his fresh spin on music (yes, the pun was intended). In 1998, he worked with U.N.K.L.E. to produce a few tracks for their second debut album, Psyence Fiction. Long story short, Shadow became a temporary member of U.N.K.L.E. The current members, James Lavelle and Pablo Clements, discarded all old material, and the three went on create a hew sound. The list of guests on that album grew to include members of Radiohead, Beastie Boys, The Verve, and Metallica. Don't forget about Shadow's multitude of remixes.

The Bay Area hyphy movement also owes much of its initial construction to Shadow. His home base of San Jose put him at the center of development in the early 90s. When hyphy came to national attention in the mid 2000s, a documentary featured Shadow along with several other musicians supportive of the movement, including founder, Keak Da Sneak. Shadow's debut album, Endtroducing..., remains a stepping-stone within his niche. Released in 1996, Guinness World Records recognized it as the first album created solely from music sampling in 2001. Innovative and daring, Endtroducing... includes an overwhelming amount of artists to create an entirely new sound and feeling unique to Shadow. Rumors purport that a shift in Shadow's work will be apparent with the release of new work. With that, the DJing world will inevitably shift with it.

McGregor plays Bob Wilton, a down oii his luck journalist who travels to Kuwait to sniff out a story. While there, he runs into Lin "Skip" Cassidy, played by George Clooney, who introduces him to "The New Earth Army" which is a unit of the army aimed to find alternative and non-violent forms of combat such as psychic power and Jedi-like mental manipulation. In flashbacks, the camouflaged soldiers practiced yoga, grew out long hair, exchanged flowers, and danced to Billy Idol as part of their training. Skip explains the history, fall, and rebuilding of this program to Bob as they head through sand dunes and war zones on what seems to be a wild goose chase, or more literally, a wild goat chase. The most enjoyable part of this film is the healthy mixture of dry satire and slapstick humor. The dialogue is simply phenomenal, and the chemistry between McGregor as a serious journalist and Clooney as a whimsical, yet serious "Jedi Warrior" is spot on. Surprisingly, McGregor never breaks the fourth wall with quite a few instances of quoting lines from "Star Wars" movies in which he played the young Obi Wan Kenobi. The humor comes from the context and delivery of lines, and it is never self-referen- tial. George Clooney is always very entertaining to watch, and although many of his fast-talking alpha-male characters tend to be somewhat static, this film really delves into Skip's memories, ethical conflicts, beliefs, and his growth over time. Flashbacks make up a large portion of this movie, and they range from heart touching to sidesplitting, but some of them drag on too long for the pacing of the plot. At times, the flashback goes on for so long that the viewer may forget where the characters are in the present. The opening scenes, a title screen claims "more of this is true than you'd believe." This may seem laughable in that it is basically a movie about men staring so hard at goats that their hearts actually stop. However, when it comes to issues such as maturity, disappointment, budding friendships, and personal ethics, the movie is indeed very true to life. This movie is completely hilari- ous from the wacky visuals to the sly writing, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a few hearty belly laughs complete wijh a side of emotion and inspiration. flow like few other films. At least it did for me. I went in well warned and still it hit hard. The film has very much to recommend, like "Yesterday" on all levels. In this film, there is not only great cinematography but also some scenes that will take your breath awayfromtheir fairytale surrealism. The scenes take the viewers back in time of simple summer love that grows into something extraordinary. The one potentially weak aspect of the film was the slow and, what I felt, plodding start. Most great films don't seem to risk potentially losing viewers early on, but the risk pays off handsomely in this film. Irffect, the emotion builds steadily throughout the entire film like a locomotive, and then unloads on you all at once. This is a knockout piece. If you know love, then this film is a must see. If you don't know love, then watch this film and you will. What to See***** "Thelma and Louise" is a galpal movie starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. Yes, as a movie reviewer (of age), I should have seen this film long before now, but being married assures that no chick flick goes unviewed. Chick Flick is not a derogatory term, it just delineates that die film is geared to a female audience, just as Jackie Chan films are aimed afguys. Once again, this is a top-flight production with great performances by the leading ladies, and great support from Harvey Keitel. It seems that this film has developed not only a cult following, but has grown to reach nearly mythological proportions as a tour de force for empowering women. It runs the range of emotions from serious to giddy, and even ventures into campy waters at times. Perhaps the one thing that does tie these three films tightly together is the impression they will each emblazon on your memory. So take your friends' hands and take a fly at these three greatfilms.What to See **** Image courtesy of Overture Films W hat to see on DVD BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer How does one present movies filled with sadness and make them desirable to see? Perhaps by trying to lode at the silver lining and these films contain that silver lining, but I'll leave it to you to find them This wedi, these threefilmswould be difficult to categorize other than to say they are excellent. Although they share sadness, they diverge in many other ways. Some believe that to truly appreciate joy one must truly experience sorrow. So if you want to watch some movies to get you happy, here we go. "Yesterday" is a story about the title character, a South African woman, and her struggles to get by in a remote village.

The story takes a hard look at AIDS and HIV in South Africa and provides what seems an honest, albeit harsh, look at the problem. All aspects of this film excel, from the screenplay to the acting, cinematography, to the story itself. There are no weak points to this film. For that reason, it is well worth watching, but if you look for the deeper meaning, buried just below the surface, you will berichlyrewarded What to See**** "The Notebook," starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams will touch you in ways and make the tears pcrfEi • HilMMMNi Image courtesy of New Line Cinema � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XXII NO. 9 H 1 N 1 vaccine supply less than demand Questions regarding benefits, risks, and availibility of vaccine emerge AT'S IDE . . X-mas Child See Page 6 See Page 7 See Page 9 BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 4, 2009, Director of Student Health and Counseling Services, Dr. Karen Nicholson, released a statement regarding the RINI vaccine. As CSUSM is a campus community serving thousands of people, containing the HlNl virus is a high prior­ity. Throughout the semester, CSUSM's Office of Communi­cations has issued releases as a way to keep the community edu­cated and aware of any updates related to the outbreak of the HlNl virus, or swine flu. "As you may have heard, San Diego County has begun receiv­ing HlNl vaccines. The initial doses have been in very limited supplies, with the majority of it going to local hospitals," the statement begins, later advising students that, "Once we [Student Health and Counseling Services] receive the vaccine, we will make announcements regarding where and when the vaccine will be distributed." For the many who have yet to receive the vaccine, the release offers little solace. As men­tioned, the vaccines are coming in small shipments, forcing medical facilities to turn away patients anxious to get the vaccination. Since it has spread from North dates to non-preg­ica to other con­tinents, the World Health Organiza­tion (WHO) and the Center for D i sease Control and Preven• tion (CDC) updated the virus's status to pandemic Image courtesy ofNovava.x last June. According to the WHO, there have been over 500,000 con­firmed cases in the world and at least 6,260 deaths as of Nov. 8, 2009. On the bright side, a vaccine to the virus is available. According to the CDC, over 4 million doses arrived in California, which is at least one million more than any other state has received. The new vaccine sounds hopeful, but it raises many questions about risks, benefits, and to whom it will be available. The San Diego Immunization Branch (www.sdiz.org) says that the best places locally to get the vaccine are from medical care providers, county public health centers, county mass vaccina­tion clinics, community clinics, and school-located vaccination clinics. CSUSM Health and Services will be having a flu vaccination clinic during the. week of Nov. 16, however this will only be for the seasonal flu, not the swine flu, and SHCS says that the vac­cines are taking longer than expected to be shipped. According to CDC recom­mendations, medical provid­ers give priority to children and adults ages 6 months to 24 years, pregnant women, caretak­ers of infants, and healthcare work­ ers. Unfortu­ nately, the county only to the has access nasal spray which the candi­ healthy children and adults between 2 and 24 years of age, and healthy caretak­ers under the age of fifty. D r . Steven Bates from campus' Stu­dent Health and Counseling Ser­vices explained the difference between the nasal vaccine and the injection is the nasal option contains a live but attenuated virus, meaning that the virus has been mutated enough to remove components that make recipients sick, but still similar enough to cause immunity to the HINl flu in its harmful state. He also said that immune-compromised and at-risk patients still have a chance of developing HlNl even from its attenuated state. Other risks of the vaccine arise from egg allergies. Children and adults who are allergic to eggs should not receive the vaccine, but the CDC notes, "Because children with severe asthma are at high risk of serious compli­ / cations from influenza, ,-l-"0 1-"' a regimen ,l~ has been devel­ o p e d f o r gi v ing infl u - e n z a vaccine to chi l­ dren with severe asthma and egg hypersen­sitivity." The CDC also says that some people who think they are covered, such as people who have had flu-like symptoms in 2009 or people who were vacci­nated against the 1976 Swine Flu, may still be susceptible to the par­ticular strain of HIN! and should still get vacci­nated. S a n Diego Immu­rizain branch warns about potential risks, "Vaccines, like all medi­cines, do h a v e pos­sible s i de effects. Most s i d e effects are such as pain or tender­ness where the• shot is given. Serious reactions ,t are rare, but they can / happen. Your doctor or ,.$ nurse will discuss these ~t with you before giving the shots." However, their web­ site also claims that the benefits of vaccination generally out­weigh the risks involved. If you are part the groups eligible to receive the vaccine and you choose to do so, check www.sdcounty.ca.gov to find out where and when to get your shot. If you want the vaccine, but are not eligible to receive it at this time, the CDC says, "It is expected that there will be enough 2009 HlNl flu vaccine for anyone who chooses to get vaccinated. Limited amounts of 2009 HlNl vaccine became available in early October, and more will continue to become available over the upcom­n g weeks."

This time I thought I would comment on the differences in how people get from A to B in Britain and America. The first, probably most obvious point I think you would agree is that here in America you need a car. This is noticeable to everyone. Ifyou don't have a car you think how much you need one, and ifyou do have a car you pray that nothing happens to it. Being an exchange student, I don't have a car, so it can sometimes make me feel restricted in what I want to do. Itcan be quite frustrat­ing when you think ofsomething good to do, but you can't do it, as there is no way of getting to that place. If you're lucky, you know someone that has a car and can take you places. Fortunately, my girlfriend does and she takes me anywhere I want to go! Here at CSUSM, there is the Sprinter train that helps people get around. It can help you get aJI the way from Oceanside to Escon­dido, which means easy access to the beach! It only costs $2 to ride and the longer you're on it, the more you can get for your money. The train system here seems good. I have only used it a couple of times so I can't really pass a clear judgement on it. I think the main difference between CSUSM and my university back home (UCLAN) is that this university is acommuter school, so the major­ity of people live off campus, whereas at my university in Brit­ain the majority of students live on campus. Back in Preston, UK, there is no need for a car. Every­thing students need is within lO minutes walking distance: pubs, clubs, shops, you name it. The train station is also within walk­ing distance and you can get to any part of the country quite easily (although I am aware of the fact that Britain is a lot smaller). The public transport system is not perfect in Britain. It can be expensive, especially if you wait until the last minute and they're not always on time. One thing I have noticed here in America is the sheer size of the cars: they're huge. Some people have told me that they have small cars and when I've seen them, I've said that would be a decent sized car in Britain. If the people that owned these cars came to Britain and went to buy a car the first question they would ask is where the rest of the car was. It remains a mystery how some ofthese big cars fit into Study abroad • BY IVAN GARCIA the magic carpet flight (which I Pride StaffWriter hear I bear an uncanny resem­blance too [possible job candi­ Yes, soul searching.

At the expense these things come to the fore­ofsounding like Aladdin during front of the mind when I'm the UK feeling truly alone. Search­ing the mind and reflecting on these memories is something that I can't help but do. Liter­ally, even to the point where I stay cooped up in my room and just think. Think about home, life, love, and whatever else may be on the menu at the local self-reflection bar and grill. The point I'm trying to make is that taking time for self­reflection can happen anywhere. But when you are away from your expected social behaviors, actions, and responsibilities, it allows you to hopefully see who you really are or if you're just playing some role that many simply expect from you. Take this time to think ahead, reflect on your past actions, and come to terms with them or set them right. I know that this week's edition of Abroad in the UK was a little different and off such small garages. I have also noticed the size of the freeways are a lot bigger here, 6 or 7 lanes is the average width. It may or may not be bard to believe but Britain's motorways (freeways) are only 3 lanes wide. From my point of view you don't necessarily need a car in Britain, especially ifyou're a stu­dent, and the transport system can be good enough to get you around. However, you definitely need a car here in America to get around, mostly due to the biggest overrid­ing factor: the place is just so big. the beaten path, but then again, change happens. I'm sure I'll be back to my normal style of spewing out the literary equiva­lent ofhitting two bricks against each other for three hours, but then again, this just shows a range that can be gained by reading and interpreting the metaphorical newspaper of self (Ok I'll stop now, all these met­aphors are hardly substantiated to this extent, it's like I pasted them on with 3 year glue-stick).

"It's worth it to see the smiles on their faces." It has not always been simple to find everything needed to complete the shoeboxes for the children. According to Bran, one of the hardest elements of the gifts to find is the empty shoeboxes needed to pack the gifts in. However, several local shoe stores were able to donate empty boxes for the cause, and there were more than enough to give the gifts to the children. It is also difficult to get the word out that this program is available for CSUSM students looking for a way to donate their time to a worthy cause. This year, there was also a con­cern that not too many students would not be able to afford to donate gifts to fill the shoebox. Still, Bran was happy to share that even though everyone is feeling the economic crunch, both teachers and students came together to give for the less for­tunate. "We had a great turnout," said Bran. While students might not see the full impact of their gift has on the children, the effects are immeasurable. A great example of some­one being impacted is Huda, a female dietitian student from Cal State San Bernardino, a Jordanian international student. When she was a child in Jordan, Huda and her family received shoeboxes. Upon coming to the United States, Huda started the Christian Club at CSUSB and initiated Operation Christmas Child last year. Now CSUSM and CSUSB are competing to see which campus' program will bring in more boxes for the program. While it's too late to get involved this year with Operation Christmas Child, students who would like to get involved for next year, or be a part of nonprofit activities, can help by getting in contact with Ruth Bran at r22Bran@ yahoo.com, or call her at (760) 583-2381.

Conference Championship on Saturday. The game was tied 1-l at the end of regulation and two overtimes, but the third-seeded Cougars pre­ vailed over top-seed Ohio Domini­can when in the ensuing shootout, the latter's fifth shot was stopped by the crossbar. CSUSM won the shootout 4-3. With the win, Coach Ron Pul­vers' Cougars are now headed to their second straight NAIA National Championship appear­ance. "The team was fantastic," said Pulvers. "They were n't at their best after last night's tough match, but they really battled to get through. I am super proud of what they've overcome this year." A scoreless deadlock was broken in the 55th minute, as Lucia Asbury got the Cougars on the board first. But Ohio Domini­can, whose play absolutely lived up to their seeding, got the equal­izer in the 75th minute. The 1-1 score would persist through regulation and overtime, putting the Cougars in a familiar situation. Facing Simon Fraser in last year's A.I.I. Champion ship game, CSUSM earned the Confer­ence Ch ampionship by winning a shootout. This time around, Ohio Domini­can would take an early 2-1 lead after their keeper stopped Breanna Brenton's shot. But Cougar keeper Kaycee Gunion would come right back with a save of her own, and with Kelly W herry, Lauren John­son, and Arielle Cohen scoring goals, the shootout would be tied 3-3 heading into the fifth and final round. Up first, CSUSM senior captain Courtney Drummond tucked her shot away, and when the final Ohio Dominican shooter missed, the championship celebration began for the Cougars. The NAIA National Champion­ship pairings will be made avail­able this coming week, and CSUSM will learn who and where they are playing in the opening round. •Arts & Entertainment Tuesday, November 17, 2009 9 Honoring our Veterans: Operation Art BY SANDRA CHALMERS ans proudly displayed appre-and collages art pieces by Arts Pacific. express their feelings of grati­Arts & Entertainment Editor ciation for our troops at the Association students, students The free art exhibit was tude and respect to our troops Clarke Field house.

I know what I like, and most of the time am able to stick with my books, my movies, and my music. But something odd happened this week. I listened to the New Moon soundtrack. After my: initial shock ofrealiz­ing what I had done, I rechecked the tracklisting: Death Cab for Cutie, Grizzly Bear, Thom Yorke, The Killers, Bon Iver, among others. This couldn't be the soggy-sweet pop record surely matched with the Twilight franchise. Subjectivity aside (irony included), I feel I should make my ignorance of Twilight known. I saw the first Twilight movie and didn't read any ofthe books, and never had any intent to see New Moon. Still, I had the idea that Twilight was for weird 14-year-olds and weirder people with vampire fetishes. I do realize that there are legitimate fans who enjoy the writing immensely, but that generaliza­tion remains among non-fans ofthe series (i.e., most males and the oddball girl). But this record had some serious music on it. Things just didn't add up, and nothing explained it. The real shock here is that Thom Yorke's track, "Hearing Damage," is exclusive to the soundtrack. Yorke, along with his band Radiohead, left their record label and have essentially released works on their own terms since. So speculation might lead the listener to believe Yorke thought New Moon was relevant enough to be the vehicle BY SANDRA CHALMERS Arts & Entertainment Editor Enjoy a good lunch with some good music Students can enjoy live music at the Big Cat Food Court this Wednesday from 12-lpm outside under the patio shade. CalJed "Radical Tunes," the Big Cat Food Court and Cougar Shops have started a new tradition to offer live music for students to enjoy while eating their lunch. "We want to further develop a fun and exciting atmosphere at the Big Cat Food Court and support "Student Life" on campus," said Tipper Philips, marketing specialist for the University Auxiliary and Research Services Corporations (UARSC). ''Having good music with good food and drink is an out­standing opportunity to improve the envi­ronment in the Big Cat Food Court." Having two prior performances, Phil­ips says it's a new tradition that is still in its early stages of development. "We just started this and are feeling out the interest level." With the office of Global studies offer­ing international week at CSUSM Nov 16-19, the Big Cat Food Court celebrates it its own way by featuring a different inter­national menu item each day. Flavors from around the world are offered to students for a chance to taste recipes from overseas and other foreign lands. The new menu items are only for a lim­ ited time and end on Thursday, Nov. 19. Menu items prices will vary. Musical groups performing vary in genres and performance opportunities are available if any students interested in per­ forming with their band are able to contact Tipper Phillips at tphillip@csusm.edu or by phone 760-750-4718. They will need to provide a recording/CD ofwhat they would like to perform. "Our goal is to try and have musical per­formances most Wednesdays but we have a limited budget and are not able to com­pensate everyone for their efforts," contin­ued Philips. "We are excited about this and hope to be able to support new student life experiences here at Cal State Sao Marcos." Limited Time International Menu Items: Monday: Thai Thai Peanut Chicken Satay. Tuesday: Mediterranean Lemon Chicken with Tabouli and Medi­terranean Salsa. Wednesday: Indian Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry and Basmati Rice. Thursday: Italian Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich with Pomodoro Sauce, Spinach and Mozzarella on toasted Focaccia. Image courtesy ofamazon.com for his individual track release. Boo Iver, one of the newest staples to indie music, appears with an achingly beautiful track called "Rosyln." End­lessly successful band The Killers offer "A White Demon Lover," a song reflect­ing more of their first album's style that took them so far. Even Lupe Fiasco makes an appearance with "Solar Midnite," an unusual song befitting the general tone of the soundtrack. I figure you can make one of two conclusions about this: all these artists subjected themselves to the world of the Twilight cultural phenomenon "just because they could, or they took advan­tage of Twilight's success to get their music heard by people outside their fan­base. Or, music editors Charles Martin Inouye and Gerard McCann just liked these songs as much as I did and found they fit great with the cinematography. Whatever the case, the soundtrack is a serious success, exactly the complement expected for New Moon.

CSUSM finishes the season with a 10-5-4 record. Vanguard, the #8 seed nationally, improves to 13-1-6 and advances to the NAIA National Championship in Alabama. In what was a tightly-contest match that resembled the one between these two teams in September, Vanguard's defense smothered the Cougars' offense, limiting San Marcos to 3 shots on the day. Keeper Kaycee Gunion, the A.I.I. Conference Tournament MVP, kept CSUSM in the game by making a season-high 8 saves, but it wasn't quite enough. The game's lone goal came in the 17 minute. San Marcos was whistled for a hand-ball in the box to give Vanguard a penalty kick, and Karri Currier capitalized on it.

The 8K race, held at Fort Vancouver in Washington, was won going away by Malone College with a team score of 44. Concordia (Neb.) took second at 166, and Southern Oregon placed third at 188. th CSUSM finished with a total of 441. In his first year as a Cougar, junior Muluken Beressa earned All-American status with his performance on Saturday. He finished 21 with a time of 25:43. The race caps off what has been a recordsetting debut season for Beressa, who set the school record in the 8K with his first-place performance at the Conference Championships. Second on the team was Dave Edwards, who took 9 9 with a time of 26:33. The senior had been coming on strong throughout the second half of the season, finishing a strong third at the Conference Championships. Chris Capeau followed shortly after, placing 116 with a time of 26:39. Next was freshman Chris Strasheim, who took 171 at 27:06, and rounding out the team's top-five was Pat Fitzgerald in 177 at 27:11. Also competing for the Cougars were Bernardo Bahena (238 ; 27:48) and Casey Evans (264 ; 28:21). Coach Scott's squad had higher expectations entering this meet, but only because the season has been so successful. "The guys are disappointed in the result," noted Coach Scott. "But I'm so proud of them for this season." a goals against average of 0.540 this year and an .809 save percentage in 18 starts this season. Earlier this month, she was named A.I.I.

Joining Gunion are midfielders Kelly Wherry and Taylor Ziencina, defender Breanna Brenton, and forward Lauren Johnson. Three Cougars were also named to the All-Conference Second Team: Midfielders Courtney Drummond, Brittany Boyce, and Lucia Asbury. On the men's side, the Con- ference Runner-Up Cougars had plenty of players honored as well. Forward Brandon Zuniga and defender Curtis Marcikic - the leaders of the front and back line, respectively - earned First Team All-Conference status.

Distant students and families stay in touch using technology Status Updates I f f ] CSU San Marcos Q j Photos Q Links ^ Video ¿¡J Pages More BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer As new college f reshman, we learn a lot of things in our f irst semester. The immunization requirement and the joys of being allowed to walk to the restroom without a hall pas& are two things, but a learning experience we have to deal with off-campus is the scattering of our hometown classmates. Many of the f riends we sat next to in classes for thirteen years are now somewhere across the country, and many of us have moved away f rom our families as well. It's f un to meet new people and make new f riends, but keeping in touch with lifelong f riends and family is important too. W hat's the modern mainstream solution? Facebook, of course. It seems like everyone has one, usually to keep i n touch with f riends and family. It makes for a good security blanket, but do these virtual human connections really mean anything in real life? I love Facebook j ust as much as the next college student, but there are parts of it that I am beginning to see as anti-social. For example, status updates. When a girl updates her status, she is writing about herself and talking to no one in particular. It's not a message aimed towards a particular person—those go in messages and comments. All status updates begin with the poster's own name and are generally about the poster. This is hot meaningful or personal communication. A real-life equivalent would be to stand on a soapbox on a crowded street and yell about how your day went. These status updates at least open up for conversation in that people can choose to comment and discuss the updates. At least, people used to do this. Recently, however, Facebook introduced the " like" button, and now, if someone f inds an update witty or intelligent, they can press a button to show their approval, rather than expressing it through words. This is j ust disappointing. Spouting out phrases about myself and a former classmate clicking "like" does not count as a way of keeping our friendship alive. Some of the benefits of Facebook are photo and video sharing as well as the instant messaging feature. Those are definitely great ways of staying in touch more quickly and conveniently than by phone and snail mail without sacrificing personal communication. There are also public wall comments and private messages, which can be conversational, but there is the downside of application spam urging members to join fake mobs or farm fake vegetables. Facebook is sort of a mixed blessing. Status updates can be witty, applications can be amusing, and distant f riends and family can stay connected through chat and pictures. However, it's important not to replace actual interactions with Facebook alone. Phone calls and Skype messaging software can be much more personal than messages and comments since they have tone of voice and realtime speech. Skype even has a video chat option that t urns any voice call into a very personal, although eerily Jetsons-like, face-to-face conversation. However, no matter how technology progresses, nothing beats handwritten letters, care packages, and visits to show your distant loved one that you care enough to take the time to stay in touch with them. If none of these options are possible, I recommend thinking of creative ways to stay in touch using technology, rather than simply retyping solely on Facebook comments and " like" clicks.

Very nice since I am not a tofu fan and am still working on liking it. I will start of by saying this Pad Thai was very good. It was certainly much better than I expected. It had great flavor, medium spicy with the perfect amount of burn and required thirst without blocking the flavor but truly enhancing the dish. All the flavors were lovely together. They do not have lunch specials only regular dinner menu but the portions are large with prices more than reasonable ranging from $7 for tofu veggie to $12 for seafood. Portions are large for lunch, so there is enough to share or have leftovers.! hate to say it, but I ate the whole thing. I was so stuffed I thought I would pop (side note: I can eat a lot! My husband is much bigger than I am and I eat more than he does at times. In five more years, it will really start catching up with me). It has a Very light sauce, savory and not too sweet, and two fat slices of lime and per- fect spice; truly a lovely balance. I give them props because the tables, walls, and ceiling were actually clean for a hole in the wall restaurant. My only complaint, and this was too bad to over look, is the menus. They were old dirty and falling apart. I wanted to wash my hands after touching them. On my second visit, I had the Pad Woon Sen ,a glass noodle and veggie dish in a light soy-based sauce, accompanied by Tom Kha Gai. The food is just too good. I had the Tom Kha and oh my goodness! It was the best I have ever had. The owner said it was because they use real coconut milk whereas other places use powdered coconut milk. I had no idea powdered coconut milk existed, huge difference apparently. I would like a little more acidity for my personal taste but a lemon wedge could fix that. I think next time I will try the pho. Yes, they have pho here too for all you pho fans. tomato slices. Lay chicken breast over tomatoes. Coat chicken breast with olive oil or oil spray.

I am an ardent fan of garlic so I will use about twice what I recommend here. If you love garlic there can never be too much. Just don't make these for a first date. I buy my garlic at Trader Joes and I keep a jar of pre chopped garlic for convenience but fresh garlic is just as good. I let the green beans thaw by running them under warm water. Shake off excess water and put in towel to pat dry. Put the oil in a frying pan and get it nice and hot on medium-high heat. When oil just starts to smoke, toss in the green beans and garlic. Don't stir them right away. I like them to brown a little bit. After about 2 minutes, stir beans around and add salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and toss beans with Parmesan. Plate and serve. relation to what is known of Caananite cosmogony." He continues his essay "It was possible for man to enter a covenant with god under which he could live collectively in social justice and individually in moral responsibility. To this extent, Israel stands forth as the heir to the religious history of the preceding millennium." To extend the questing for truth further, the entire Historicity of Jesus has been for centuries a looming and unanswered question as one can see in many scholarly texts including "The Historicity of Jesus" by Shirley Jackson Case. But to return from the digression, the point is that effort is required to either confirm or debunk the information in this or any film. That is after all what every one of us should do with every film we view that claims as its basis truth or authority. Only then can we learn, grow and become more complete in our undei> standing of the world in which we live. So if I may be so bold as to highly recommend that everyone see thisfilm.And yes I know we are all going to revel in the upcoming winter break. What better time could there be to take a serious look at a serious film and then find out where truth lies, or if purported truth is a lie. What to See ***** When I suddenly had an unavoidable craving for Pad Thai* I panicked! I had class at CSUSM and my solid Thai joints are in Oceanside. I have to give Kinaly some major props. The server/ owner is a doll and very friendly, very familiar with her customers. It felt more like having lunch at your aunt's house than eating at a restaurant. I love that. I did not get a spotlight on the "only one" OMG! I eat alone. 1 know how strange for a woman to eat alone. The restaurant's name is Kinaly Thai but the sign out front simply says "Pad Thai Restaurant." Side Note: Eating alone is a wonderful experience. If you have issues with being self conscious, try it. Please do not eat alone and talk on your cell phone. This will rob you of the experience. Texting and cell phone games are acceptable as well as a book or iPod. I am married and, you know, with kids, eating alone is almost a treat. I digress. I got the tofu veggie Pad Thai. Simply dinner BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer W hat fo see on DVD BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer After weeks of putting off my daughter's request to see this film, I finally watched it when she came down to visit this week. I should know by now that when she suggests that I should hear, see or read something it is always a good recommendation. She is rarely wrong in her advice, and this film is no exception. "Zetigeist" This is a documentary film steeped in controversy and the birthplace of even more controversy. It is a threepart film that attempts to explain three different topics, as three separate issues. The three parts include the origins of modern monotheistic religion, an explanation of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, and an explication of how the masses have become ensnared in a perpetual debt trap. The material itself is enough to raise the f ur on the backs of the necks of many a viewer. In our open society, with you as openminded viewers, the first order of business is to view the film. The second and most important part is to do so with a healthy amount of skepticism. Another piece to the puzzle with this, or any other controversial films such as this, is to allow for the possibility that what you know to be true, may not be. Finally, talk to others, research to find the truth to the best of your ability, and avoid making any decisions based on preconceived beliefs. Should a viewer watch with a closed mind, there is no chance to expand his mind with new knowledge. For a moment, we shall digress from the movie. The first segment of the film explores Islamic/Judeo-Christian origins. While most would agree that the oldest monotheistic religion to spring forth from the Middle East is Judaism with Christianity and Islam to follow later, many would take offense that the concept that monotheism arose from earlier religions. Although the movie focuses on Pagan and Egyptian roots to the development of a Jesus narrative, we should come to know that Judaism did not spring forth directly from the mouth of God, and thai is arose from earlier religions. As W.W. Meissner points out in his paper "Notes on Monotheism: Origins," the narratives of Genesis 1-11 "are significant in that they bear a close relation to similar material in Assyrian and Babylonian tablets, and show little Photo courtesy of Aromy X.

I t's still one of my all-time favorite songs nearly a decade later. To me, the song was perfeet. R ufus's buttery baritone and the gentle instrumentation were almost t6o good to be true. But the lyrics—oh, the lyrics—were beyond anything else I'd heard. In fact, they're still so unbelievably poetic, calling the composition a "song" doesn't even seem fair. And you know how I feel about poetic music. The respect I had for R ufus writing this song grew exponentially once YouTube happened, and a quick search of "Hallelujah" exposed trie to hundreds upon hundreds of 1 covers, including the achingly poignant version by the late Jeff Buckley. OK; I thought, people j ust realize "Hallelujah" is indeed an excellent song, even if it is butchered on occasion. At some point, I listened to what I assumed was Leonard Cohen covering the song.

C SUSM get inked Students demonstrate their love for tattoos. BY SANDRA CHALMERS Arts & Entertainment Editor Elyce Maxwell, a current junior studying for a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and a minor in Psychology, got herfirsttattoo at the age of 18. "One of my tattoos is a picture of a bow, with the saying T he greatest gift starts and ends with family'." In an elegant cursive script, the black lettering on the top of her foot is decorated with a classic red bow just below her ankle. "I was inspired to get it because my family means the world to me and no matter what happens they will always be the best part of my life," said Maxwell. Maxwell got this particular tattoo at the age of 19 and at a local tattoo shop Tattoo. FatKid Tattoo specializes in custom tattoos while also offering a wide range of classic artwork pieces and styles. Price range depends on artists and appointments and walk-ins are welcome. "All I have to say is if you're planning on getting it [tattoo] on your foot it will hurt!" Tierra Spence, a junior majoring in Communications holds a sweet spot for tattoos, a sugared skull representing both of her grandmothers sits above her hipbone. "I have always had a love for Dia de Los Muertos art and I wanted something tattooed on me with that style of art but I also wanted it to mean something to me," said Spence. After finding the perfect design of a Dia de Los Muertos skull done by a close friend, she customized it to a perfect fit to represent her grandmothers. "I went through a lot when they passed away and one day I was looking at drawing my friend Theresa Lavelle did for a t-shirt design of a Day of the Dead skull and it was exactly what I was looking for in a tattoo," said Spence. Dia de Los Muertos, or more commonly recognized as the Day of the Dead, is a holiday tradition particular to Mexican culture a cknowledging the death of loved ones in a festive celebration. S pence lost both of her grandmothers J about eight month8 apart from each other and t hrough the struggle of the loss, she made a t ribute to them with some p ermane ink. Her tattoo is a classic Day of the Dead skull done with black ink and shows only the front facial features filled in with small details. On the forehead of the skull, a heart symbol with a corner piece missing symbolizes her emotional loss and grievances for her grandmothers. "I love looking at it and remembering my grandmothers. I know that sounds odd, but the heart just really represents how much I miss them and that why it's missing a piece, but it brings me comfort." Full of color and action, Alseeandra Uriarte, a senior majoring in Human Development, got a tattoo to represent a milestone in rock artist,. Atreyu. Uriarte got her tattoo from Good Neighbor Tattoo her life. Covering almost half of her lower back, an image of two vintage western pistols filled with intricate details of red designs shoot out smoke to form a heart with the lyric "Just live and breathe, try not to die again." The pistols feature Ted roses surrounding the gun handles and the red roses also surround the bottom of the smoky heart. "I've had a very rough year and in the midst of all the turmoil, I lost myself and who I was striving to become, it was not a very fantastic feeling and I vowed to never let myself 'die' again," Uriarte said. The lyrics comes from popular Photo courtesy of Alseeandra Uriarte Escondido. "I got my first one {tattoo] on my 18 birthday. Now I'm turning 21 and I have four.

XXIII N O. 1 Companies and celebrities raising Hope for Haiti Reaching out in the wake of massive tragedy BY KRISTINA MARTINEZ Business Manager ¡See Page 2 flaws Briefs I NDEPENDENT S TUDENT NEWSPAPER Tragedy struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010, when a 7.0 earthquake killed hundreds of thousands of people and injured many more. People from all over the world have expressed heartfelt help in the wake of this massive tragedy, doing their part to assist in relief efforts. From companies accepting donations to last Friday's "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief' telethon, people are finding creative ways to help in the wake of this disaster. According to the CIA World Factbook, Haiti's population is 9,035,536. It is also one of the most densely populated and least developed countries in the Western Hemisphere. According to Haiti's ambassador to the United States, Haiti's infrastructure was among the world's worst even in the best of times. Many believe that this poor infrastructure led to the catastrophe. Calculations to determine the final deal toll on the island are pending, and authorities still do not know how many people remain buried in the rubble. According to the United Nations, more than 121 people left the rubble alive. Celebrities came together for a telethon on Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 in order to help raise money for Haiti. Celebrities like George Clooney, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder, Zac Efron, Robert Patterson, Julia Roberts, and many other big names volunteered their time to answer phones and receive donations towards the Earthquake Relief Fund for Haiti. Rather than using their own names, they used the names oflocal Haitians who had been injured or lost in the tragedy. Many songs were performed that help people to cope with the events that happened and told a story of the process of dealing with loss. The telethon included performances of popular songs such as "Let it Be" sung by Jennifer Hudson, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" performed by Stevie Wonder, "Lean on Me" by Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Kid Rock, and "Hard Times No More" sung by Mary J. Blige. Other performers include Sting, Shakira, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay, Jay Z, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Bono, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, and The Edge of U2 . According to USA Today, the "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon set a new record at $58 million and counting with donations via the Internet, text, phone, or mail. The entire album can be downloaded on iTunes and according to MTV.com According to MTV.com, viewers may purchase the entire telethon on iTunes. In fact, the "Hope for Haiti Now" album is currently the #1 iTunes album in 18 countries. For more information about the telethon or how to donate, please visit www. hopeforhaitinow.org. Other companies are doing their part to aid in the relief efforts by donating money to the Haiti-relief organizations and allowing customers to donate money through their stores. For example, Starbucks began accepting donations at all local stores and will be giving the money to the W/KKtt^^ B^ HWedCan3I1 27tfl W Jl Ü27th © H .

According to Starbucks, com, Starbucks has pledged to donate $1 million to the Red Cross in addition to what it is able to collect from customers at its stores. Bank of America is also accepting donations for the Red Cross. Phone companies are accepting donations via text messages. For example, people can text "Yele" to 501501 and Wyclef Jean's Yele Foundation will receive a $5.00 donation, appearing on the patron's phone bill.

D A DVISOR J OAN A NDERSON S ENIOR STAFF WRITERS BILL R HEIN P RIDE STAFF W RITERS JAMES R OCHE BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Less than a month into a new decade, the world experienced an outrageous tragedy. The infamous earthquake in Haiti that toppled buildings and left a devastating amount of people dead is a bleak start to the year. The fresh feeling that came with the start of 2010 may feel disturbed already, but the outreach of people around the world is astounding. The kindness shown here in America from ordinary people and celebrities is remarkable and nothing short of inspiring. The earthquake could have left the world feeling hopeless, but I believe that if current efforts continue, humanity may come out of this situation with a resolution of unity. The destruction of Haiti was a dismal sight, especially in an already impoverished nation. Yet the selfless worldwide response saved move lives from ending and provided the necessary supplies to keep survivors alive. However, the work is not done yet. If you have not donated the relief in Haiti, I wonder what you are waiting for. Sure, it is easy to ignore something that seems so far away in another country. But right now, any money that you can give is seriously needed. Ten dollars is a good start and you will not even notice it is gone in a week. Yet, that money will go so far to provide food, water, and other supplies to people who are dying right now. This is your opportunity to make a difference, and thanks to donations via cell phones, it is even easier. Hope can also come from the rebuilding process. Once the mess has cleared, continued support in Haiti can aid in establishing an infrastructure stronger than before in an effort to eliminate poverty. From there, more can be done to eliminate poverty, starvation, and homelessness around the world. I know it is an idealistic proposal, but it is not going to change any other way. Now is the perfect time to start waves of change. The ball is in your court. D uring my f irst few weeks of Senior E xperience, I w as i ntroduced to t he idea of a Group C ontract. Basically you lay out all the s trengths and weakness of t he individual group members, assign roles and expectations, and work out communication p lans and c onflict resolution. Start the process by t hinking about t he worst g roup you have worked with and the b est. Explain why. This was probably the most u seful t hing I have learned thus f ar, and I f ound myself w ondering why t his i sn't t he f irst t hing that you get assigned t o do as a group. I t hink it would be a great tool, not only for g roup p rojects but f or student clubs and o rganizations as well. How many of us have been f rustrated with t he g roup member t hat d oesn't do t heir share of t he work, but gets t he same grade and i sn't held a ccountable for h is/her actions? I know I have had my f air share over the y ears. T his s emester The Pride w ill be u sing t his concept as we c ontinue to move forward as an o rganization we are always looking f or ways to make the process even b etter. So the next t ime you have t o work with a group or r un a student organization I challenge you t o develop t his group contract t ogether and l earn exactly what it is that you want to achieve and sign it. Then you have l iving proof of t he ideas and e xpectations t hat were laid out and can go back and s ee if you achieved what you set out to achieve. I thought this was u seful knowledge and should be passed on to you the s tudents. More u seful tidbits to come in f uture issues so watch out. 2 0 1 0 m ake it count 2010. A New Decade has begun and f or many of u s it will be t he s tart of our lives away f rom college.

BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer On Jan. 19, 2009, the people of Massachusetts took to the polls to elect either Republican candidate Scott Brown or the Democrat Martha Coakley into the Senate. This particular seat had become available due to the death of Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy last year and the history of this state has made the result even more surprising. The assumption of Massachusetts as a traditionally Democratic state changed with a victory for the Republicans in the f orm of Scott Brown. Whether or not you follow politics, you are probably aware one of the main issues over the last 6 months has been healthcare r eform. Democrats have been t rying to push through a bill to radically change the country's health care system. The hope that this bill will transition into a law diminished following Republican Scott Brown's victory. President Obama has remained calm about the situation despite the Democrats losing their 60-seat majority in the Senate. This means the Republicans can now block any potential bills. He told ABC News: "The Senate certainly shouldn't try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated. People in Massachusetts spoke. He's got to be part of that process." Due to the Democrats losing their majority, this allows the Republicans to have a greater influence on healthcare reform then they would have had if Scott Brown had not won. According to CNN.com some Democrats are planning to focus on less controversial aspects such as stopping insurers from banning people based on pre-existing conditions. Healthcare reform is still very high on the public's minds with 36% of people naming it the top story they follow in the news and 44% of people saying they follow the debate closely according to a survey by the Pew Research Center. This debate rages on past the 6-month mark, and has gone through so much discussion f rom President Obama's speech to the well-publicized public town hall meetings. The main point is that America has never been closer to changing its healthcare system. Regardless of senatorial support, lowering the costs of health insurance and stopping insurers from refusing service to those with preexisting conditions reads like a good idea.

"Wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour inland and even stronger gusts in the mountains have blown tree branches and other debris into our lines causing outages." The company mobilized as much of its available staff as possible in response to last weeks storm, highlighting the severity of the last round of rain to pass through. Students can anticipate more rainstorms over the next few months on account of the El Niño climate shift. The next storm is expected to arrive on Tuesday but should only last partly into Wednesday before relenting.

Let me know what you want to see out of YOUR Student Newspaper because at the end of the day we are here for you, the students. My name is Amy and I'm the Editor in Chief with the lovely Sandra Chalmers for my fifth (yes, fifth) semester at The Pride. I'm in the second half of my junior year as a 21-year-old Literature and Writing major, but I've yet to convince my professors to teach any of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's work, which is astounding considering how fantastic the man's poetry is. I like cats, Qoffee, and cosmology, but hate driving and leaving voicemails. And I think listening to (and . enjoying) Radiohead should be a law. I also think Ben's bio is way better than mine. �Features THE PRIDE Jf H elf|l My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am working closely with my friend Amy Salisbury as we together are the new Editors in Chief for The Pride Student Newspaper. I have been working with The Pride since the fall of 2008 as a staff writer then progressed as an assistant Features editor to my most recent position as Arts and Entertainment editor last semester. Writing and journalism is one of my favorite things along with coffee, muffins and Panera. Bill This is my sixth semester with The Pride, and if everything goes well, I will be graduating this spring with a degree in Literature and Writing. From there I hope to get my teaching credential and teach high school writing, as well as writing non-fiction on the side. For now, I look forward to continuing my weekly column and writing for art and entertainment.* On the more interesting side, I grew up in Buffalo, NY, but moved here to start college when my dad got a job transfer. Thus, I have an affinity for chicken wings, or as the locals call them, just wings. In my free time, I enjoy watching Western and sci-fifilms,being with my beloved girlfriend of more than three years, and preparing for the zombie apocalypse. Rudif Well hello there. My name is Rudy. I'm your Layout Editor. You're probably thinking "Wow... this looks like a kindergartener drew this! I think my dog (or cat, hamster, turtle, elephant, fish) could have done a better job!" Did I nail it? No? oh well... guess I should give up my other job as a psychic. Anyways, this is my final semester, that means I get a fancy piece of paper that says I graduated with a degree in business administration with an emphasis in Management Information Systems in 2010 from Cal State San Marcos, or something like that. Either way I'm way stoked. I also work on campus in the IITS department and hope to pursue a career^in^either doing graphic design (hey don't judge me on my stick figured t teve other work!), or something in the IT field. Last semester I got married to Kristina (yes, that one right [well, left] over there) last semester in October, I also can't wait until we graduate so we can finally go on our honeymoon! In my free time I enjoy taking random day trips to various places in So Cal with Kristina and our dog Harrison, going to Disneyland and playing video games (add me on Live Rudyx760). This was actually much more than I had anticipated on writing, which is fine for me, you don't have to keep reading. You could have stopped after "hello," but thanks for sticking with it. I really enjoy laying out the news paper, and look forward to doing the last issues. With that said, I am looking for a replacement, so if you enjoy designing stuff and at least are fairly familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator, email me at pridelayout@gmail.com or stop me around campus. Tuesday, January 26, 2009__Q �ó Sports Tuesday, January 26, 2 0 0 9 THE PRIDE I C al State S an M arcos Softball: 2 010 season preview BY KYLE TREMBLEY Cal State San Marcos softball is coming home. For the three years of its existence, CSUSM softball has played and practiced at Mission Hills High School. Though the field is j ust a few minutes f rom campus, and hundreds of f ans have showed up for big home games, the team has never enjoyed a t rue home-field advantage. Until now. Head Coach Dave Williams, who joined the University last summer, made completing the field on campus his top priority f rom day one. With help f rom the Athletics Department and generous contributions f rom parents, companies, and community members, the long-planned field was built f rom the ground-up in j ust a few short months. Located on campus j ust behind the Clarke Field House in the University's large dirt " front yard," the tentativelynamed CSUSM Softball Field will play host to every softball home game this year - 24 total games across 12 home dates, s tarting on January 30th. As for the team that will call the field home, Coach Williams is confident that this year's veteran-heavy squad has the talent and experience necessary to earn the program's first trip to Nationals. He would know - a fter taking over as Head Coach at Point Loma in 1998, his teams posted seven 40-win seasons, t hree 50-win seasons, and two NA1A National Runner-Up finishes. Under Williams, Point Loma has placed in the top-10 at Nationals every year since 2001, and took f ifth last year. For the Cougars, last year was the program's most successful to date. The squad went 34-23, earning a trip to the A.I.I. Conference Tournament and making it all the way to the finals before being defeated by the University of Houston - Victoria. CSUSM finished the season ranked #20 nationally. While the home game setting will be entirely different in 2010, Cougar f ans will recognize most everyone t aking the field. T hanks to the youth on last year's team, only two of the squad's sixteen players are newcomers. It's no secret that softball starts with A DVERTIZING I S E ASY AS 1-2-3 1. C HOOSE A D SIZE. 2 .

The j unior righty throws with pinpoint control and excellent movement. In 2009, Sandberg went 11-6 with a 1.52 ERA in 110.1 innings pitched. She struck out 94 batters and surrendered j ust 8 walks, and was an All-Conference selection. "Brenna is a legitimate #1 pitcher," commented Coach Williams. Perhaps Sandberg's most impressive trait is that she rises to the level of competition. In 2009, she posted wins over #1 Cal Baptist and #2 Point Loma; and in the fall, she allowed j ust one unearned r un over seven innings to San Diego State, a top-25 NCAA Division I team. Joining Sandberg on the mound will be a pair of veteran pitchers for the team. Ciera Ashman, a top-of-the-lineup hitter and everyday outfielder, showed signs of tremendous talent last season in limited work. The sophomore l efty was 3-2 with a 2.44 ERA on the year in 37.1 innings pitched. "Ciera had moments of brilliance in the fall," said Williams. "If she develops consistency, she will be very good." Junior Chanel Rose should also get her first chance at extended playing time on the mound. The j unior righty was 2-1 with a 2.47 ERA in 22.2 innings pitched in 2009. "Chanel's velocity has improved, and she's working on her changeup," noted Williams. "She j ust needs experience." In the field, the crucial catcher position will be handled by j unior K imi Villalpando. Villalpando saw limited action last season, but Coach Williams loves her technical skills behind the plate. "The number one j ob for a catcher is to catch the ball, and Kimi is the best I 've seen in years," said Williams. "Her hitting really picked up in the fall as well." Also seeing time behind the plate will be Tasha Stokes and Mimi K rutein. Stokes, a senior, is "consistent, confident, and a clutch hitter," according to Coach Williams; while Krutein h as one of the strongest arms on the team, and is working on her footwork and hitting. At first base, multiple h ard-hitters may see playing time. Junior Lauren Nelson, coming o ff a breakout season in which she hit .345 and was second on the team with 25 RBI, figures to b e an everyday presence in the middle of the lineup. She was an A ll-Conference selection in 2009. Newcomer Erin Emde may play first as well. The senior transfer batted in the middle of the lineup for NCAA school UC Davis last season, and should be a big-time bat for the Cougars. A high school pitcher, Emde may also see time on the mound. Fellow newcomer Sandra Rodriguez will get her chance as well. The l efty f reshman t ransferred f rom Cal State Fullerton, and demonstrates excellent athletic ability and maturity beyond her years, according to Coach Williams. And Alyssa Dronenburg, who may play outfield or first base, will once again provide the pop in the Cougar lineup. An All-Conference selection as a t rue f resh- man in 2009, Dronenburg led the team with a .348 batting average, 10 home r uns, and 33 RBI. "Alyssa is a legit #4 hitter with tremendous power and good athletic ability," said Coach Williams. " I love her intensity - she is really serious when the game is on." At second base, super-steady Erica Coelho will continue to patrol the spot she's played since the program's first-ever season. The senior started 50 games last season, hitting .273 with 23 RBI. She will likely be batting behind the big middle-of-the-lineup hitters, so expect that RBI total to surge. Junior Shanti Poston will b e moving f rom third to shortstop t his season, where she'll continue t o be a regular in the lineup. Nicknamed " Hoover" for her defensive prowess, Poston was a rock at third base last season, and Coach Williams believes her skills will translate to the crucial shortstop position. "Shanti is a great all-around athlete who fields the ball very well," noted Williams. At third, then, will be Ashley Estepa. The sophomore came to CSUSM as a second baseman, moved to left field in 2009, and will now b e back in the infield this spring. Though not necessarily an imposing figure at the plate, Estepa packs a surprising amount of pop, h itting .270 with 2 home r uns and 23 RBI last season. Coach Williams likes her potential at t he new position. "Ashley has very quick feet and very good hands," he said. " She'll develop into a really good infielder." In centerfield, Elizabeth Bush begins her f ourth year as a starter for t he Cougars. She'll be a "good, strong, athletic p resence" in both t he field and at the plate, according to Coach Williams. Bush will j oin Ashman at the t op of t he lineup, where Williams is calling on t hem to combine to produce at least one r un per game. When f ans last saw Alicia I ngram, she was playing shortstop and b atting right handed. This year, t he sophomore w ill be a left-handed slap hitter playing outfield. She brings tremendous speed t o t he lineup, and excellent range and an accurate a rm to t he outfield. Senior Lindsey Preovolos will play in the outfield as well, moving f rom the catcher spot she's been in since the p rogram's inception. A team leader, Preovolos has been a good clutch h itter for t he squad for the last t hree years. All together, this y ear's Cougar lineup should be balanced nicely with speed at the top and bottom (Bush, A shman, and Ingram), power in the middle (Nelson, Dronenburg, and Emde), and solid contact h itters throughout. With so m any r eturners, Coach Williams expects the t eam to gel quickly into a force in the N AI A. "I expect to be in Decatur, A labama in May for Nationals," stated Williams, "and our goal is to compete in t he Elite 8 " While the t eam will have t o e arn the right t o travel to Decatur, they at least know that t his season, for t he first t ime, they have a field to t ruly call home. �Arts & Entertainment THE PRIDE Tuesday; January 26, 2 0 0 9 INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER * ^¡ANT y Are you looking to get more involved?

The special event was held in Craven circle, which was closed o ff to t raffic for several hours to allow the festivities to take place. The event drew hundreds of students who lined up for f ree food and special 20th anniversary memorabilia. San Diego radio station, 91X, provided music, entertainment, and even gave away concert tickets and other prizes to participating students. However, the biggest prizes of the a fternoon were the two parking passes that two lucky students won in a r affle. President Haynes was among many campus and community f igures on site to help celebrate the occasion with students. "Cal State San Marcos has evolved into a campus with a pioneering can-do spirit, committed to building on our role as a driver of economic, cultural, and social development for this entire region we call home," said President Haynes. " Thank you all for j oining in this special kickoff event for Cal State San Marcos' milestrone year. 1 look forward to seeing you and celebrating all year our 20th anniversary." Vice Mayor of the City of San Marcos, Hal M artin, was also present at the event on behalf of the San Marcos City Council. Vice Mayor Martin thanked CSUSM students, saying, "CSUSM has contributed to the economic growth and success of our region, with nearly 90% of its alumni staying in the region, providing a pool of skilled and tal- ented workers." Vice Mayor M artin also recognized the work students do f or the community, acknowledging the more than 165,000 community service hours students p erform annually for the city of San Marcos. Vice Mayor M artin concluded his speech with the proclaimed the City of San Marcos would o fficially recognize Jan. 28 as " California State University San Marcos Day. Students cheered at the news, a recognition by the community of the pivotal role CSUSM plays in the area. One of the major highlights of the event was the unveiling of a special 20th a nniversary f lag. Members of the University Police D epartment were present to r aise the new f lag, which will now f ly alongside our state and national f lags f or the r emainder of the year.

See Softball, Page 6 Budget p roposal offers hope for C S U b udget w oes BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor Aiîiidst a statewide f inancial crisis, Governor Schwarzenegger unveiled a n ev| p lan, earlier this month to assist C alifornia's beleaguered public higher education systems. Gov, Schwarzenegger unvéîïècfto the state legislature his budget for f iscal year 20102011, which would restore $305 million to the CSU budget. Alongside that, the new budget would also allocate an additional $60.6 million to account for enrollment growth. The restoration of f unds lost in the so-called "one-time" budget cuts of2009-2010 is good news for the CSU system and higher education in California as a whole, which has suffered heavily during California's most recent budget crisis. Though this is certainly good news for an ailing university system, California must receive a base amount of federal aid before it extends the additional $60.6 million in aid. The other $305 million restored in the proposed budget would not be a ffected by this requirement. Just days before revealed his new budget, Gov. Schwarzenegger said in his State of the State address, "Because our f uture economic well-being is so dependent upon education, I will protect education f unding in t his budget. We can no longer a fford to cut higher education." In the same speech Governor Schwarzenneger pointed to the longstanding discrepancy between f unding for prisons and higher education as an impetus for r e-prioritizing higher education in government spending p rograms.

In his new film "From Paris with Love," in theaters this Friday, he looks exactly like he did in his previous piece, "The Taking of Pelham 123." He is moving all his hair from his head to his BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer When I was younger, I used to love the fastpaced action movies. Thanks to my library card, I was renting R-rated flicks with explosions, guns, and violence before I could see them anywhere else. One of the common ingredients in these films was John Travolta. I used to love films like "Broken Arrow," which is still fun to watch occasionally for a 90-minute romp in outrageous action. After that, I also saw other Travolta films such as "Pulp Fiction," which is one of the best films ever, and "Face-off," which I still have mixed feelings about, but it is still pretty good. Yet now, Travolta seems like he is losing his touch. He is now competing with Nicolas Cage well as Travolta's performances. Now, he seems to be spiraling out of control. His new bald look makes him look deranged and nothing like his former self that got me excited to see his movies. I face. If the "Paris" trailer is any indication of how Travolta's performance is going to turn out, it seems like he will just be phoning it in, just as in "Pelham." Not only does he look more ridiculous, he is missing the fire in his eye and the swagger he used to have in earlier films. Going back to his career, it now' seems laughable the he was the star of "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease." I might not be the biggest fans of those movies, but I cannot deny they are iconic, as V& U ö Image courtesy of Zuma/Visual Press Agency BUY, SELL. RENTat o m cheapbooks.com dooJle?

InterVarsity student team member, Allison Ogllvida, a freshman at CSUSM, greeted people at the door and managed the donation box. "I am just excited to do something for Haiti and this is definitely a school wide turn out," said Ogllivida. Attendees were encouraged to make a $10 donation at the door but the concert was offered at no charge. "We wanted to not only send money to Haiti, but also send our prayers to them." InterVarsity members also made an extra effort to generate more money for Haiti by selling hand-made hemp prayer bracelets at the door for $5 each. All donations made will be given to World Vision to benefit the victims in Haiti in immediate need and for long-term needs, according to InterVarsity's group Facebook homepage. InterVarsity grand total for donations came to $1148 just barely marking half of their expected goal. "We want t o bring life and hope back to Haiti," said Tyler Allreb, a member of the administration for InterVarsity. "This is a chance to stand together with our brothers in Haiti, we want to offer our thoughts and prayers to them." In between band performances, Becky Jenken presented her original artwork inspired by the recent Haiti tragedy. She presented a painting of a tree that's growth showed pre-earthquake Haiti images and below the trees undergrowth of branches showed post-earthquake images. She asked the audience to write words of encouragement on the her painting that would signify the tree's roots and the words would represent the tree's growth and recovery. The interactive art piece was followed by a moment of silence in respect to the lives lost in Haiti and a prayer for the survivors. Not only did this concert generate money for Haiti but also generated awareness. "I j ust heard about the earthquake today," said Jesse Sanchez, an InterVarsity member of the Mira Coast College chapter. "I am really self motivated to be here, I didn't make a donation with money, but I made a donation with my p rayers" http://ww\v.thecsusmpride.com/media'/paperl 149/documents/e3 z38128.{xlf 3 .

O b a m a a ddresses the nation after o ne y ear in office BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer the effects of the economy still remained. He said, "One in 10 Americans still cannot find work. Many businesses have shattered. President Barack Obama has now officially Home values have declined. Small towns been in office for over a year, having been and rural communities have been hit espesworn in as Commander In Chief on Jan. 20, cially hard. And for those who'd already known poverty, life has become that much 2009. President Obama admitted in his State of harder." He spoke about the introduction of the the Union address that the devastation from Image courtesy of Zimbo.com Recovery Act, also known as the Stimulus Bill, as the plan that has helped get the economy back on its feet by allowing tax cuts and saving and creating jobs. President Obama had promised to impose new financial regulations, according to polifact.com. This bill which, among other things, would allow the government to intervene in companies that are failing and will pose a risk to the economy. This bill has passed the House of Representatives and is awaiting the approval of the Senate. Health Care reform was one of the President's main election promises and he admitted in his address that the country had never been closer. He said, "After nearly a century of trying ~ Democratic administrations, Republican administrations ~ we are closer than ever to bringing more security to the lives of so many Americans." Another election promise involved the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, "As we take the fight to al Qaeda, we are responsibly leaving Iraq to its people. As a candidate, I promised that I would end this war, and that is what I am doing as President. We will have all of our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of this August," said President Obama. He also pledged to increase troop num- bers in Afghanistan; this is a promise he has already kept. "And in Afghanistan, we're increasing our troops and training Afghan security forces so they can begin to take the lead in July of 2011, and our troops can begin to come home," he said during his address. President Obama has decided to make the creation of more jobs his top priority in 2010 by creating a new jobs bill. In the 2008 election, Barack Obama received 66% of the 18-29 year old voting bracket, according to CNN.com. Jessica Drizin is an avid Democratic supporter, who believes Obama has had a difficult but good first year. She said, "I think considering the opposition that he has faced from the far right, he's achieved as much as he can. I think his policies and ideas will help America head in the right direction, if we can get both sides working together." However not all students are in favor of Obama. Scott Silveria, vice chairman of the College Republicans here at Cal State San Marcos thinks the country is in a worse state under Barack Obama than it was a year ago. He said, "I think he's doing this best he can but I don't agree with how he's fixing our problems and the direction he's taking us in." �Tuesday Feburary 0 2 , 2010 o porrs T HE P RIDE Superbowl XLIV preview BY JEFF ECONOMEDIES Pride Staff Writer The much anticipated Super Bowl XLIV will air on February 7, 2010 at 6:00 pm ET live at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida USA. This year's Championship match will feature the American Football Conference Champion Indianapolis Colts vs. the National Football Conference champion New Orleans Saints. For Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts, the nerves and intensity leading up to the big game will be somewhat familiar considering this will be their second trip to the Super bowl in four years. For Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, however, the Super bowl is a level of competition the entire organization has never experienced. For the people and city of New Orleans, life in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina's devastation has been difficult. This Super Bowl birth has proven to be a sign for how well the city has recovered. A win would definitely give the city reason for celebration like never before. After starting the season 14-0, the Colts made a controversial decision to begin to prepare for the Super Bowl by resting their starters instead of chasing to join the legendary company of the 1972 Dolphins to finish a perfect, undefeated, season with a championship. The Colts are four quarters away from vindication headed by one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. The Colts also have other offensive weapons that will make them a force to be reckoned with. Most notably these include wide receiver Reggie Wayne and tight end Dallas Clark, who has proven to be a most reliable target for Manning over the years. Also, expect a couple of big plays from Austin Collie, a fourth-round rookie out of BYU who has been an outstanding out of the slot and is coming off of a career-high 123 receiving yards in the Colts AFC Championship win over the Jets. Overshadowed by an elite offense, the Indianapolis Colts defense is most likely going to be the biggest X-factor in this game. Under new defensive coordinator, Larry Cover, the Colts have played more effective one-on-one coverage, mixed up their zones, and utilized blitzes efficiently. Gary Bracket, middle linebacker and team captain will surely set the tone for keeping the New Orleans offense in check. The biggest question mark for the Colts defense heading into Sunday will be how effective Dwight Freeney will be given his current ankle injury. Being so quick around the edge this season, he was capable of accomplishing 13 Vi sacks. Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense will definitely benefit if Freeney is incapable of performing to his potential. Drew Brees (4,388 passing yards, 34 TD, 11 INT this season) is undoubtedly the heart and soul of the Saints in this paramount year for the New Orleans franchise. In order for the Saints to be successful this Super Bowl, they are not only going to need an all-star performance from Brees, but are going to need much help from their running game headed by Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas. Reggie Bush hasn't had the g r e a / ^ t f f i g i ^ t e career, but opposing defenses still fear his big play capability. Pierre Thomas has totaled over 1,100 all-purpose yards as the Saints' lead back this year and you can expect similar productivity this upcoming match up. The running game is going to be necessary in order to open up the field for Brees to find his key targets Marques Colston, Devery Henderson, and Robert Machem. My Prediction: The high octane no huddle offense headed by the 4-time MVP Peyton Manning is going to be too much for the New Orleans Saints to keep up with. More importantly, the Colts defense is considerably superior to the defenses that the Saints faced from the Cardinals and Vikings this post season. Score: 34-27 From SOFTBALL, page 1 In the bottom of the last f rame Lauren Nelson slid home to clinch the win for the Cougars a fter Erica Coelho drove a single. Coelho also made several great catches f rom her third base position that helped the Cougars attain that perfect defense which Coach Williams thought, along with excellent hitting, lead the Cougars to victory. The team faces three consecutive home games on the f irst weekend of February. This seems like a g rueling schedule, but Coach Williams believes that " ...early in the season, g etting more games is a healthy t hing because in p ractice certain situations d on't come up." From these early games he hopes to see the m issing pieces in the t eam, and f ix them in order to p repare them for Nationals. I spoke to several students; most had never attended a Softball game before for the school. They believe that more people will attend now that the" home field is on campus. Travis Wilson, a f irst time attendee, hopes to come to all the home games this season, j ust as long as it does not impend on h is studies. Wilson came to the game to support h is fellow students because he believes that the schools commuter school s tereotype needs to be destroyed in order to build stronger school spirit. With more students like Wilson a ttending games, the team will receive great s upport, as well as make other students r ealize the pride that they should have for their school, even if they do commute there. Complete effort propels baseball to sweep O regon Tech BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing on Sunday at Vanguard University, Cougar baseball put forth a total team e ffort to sweep Oregon Tech. The C„gameone6-3and Johnny Omahen started things off with a leadoff walk, A fter a sacrifice bunt, Kevin Silvett struck out, but reached when the ball got past the catcher. Josh Miller then came ^ ¡ j » to 1-4. A fter managing j ust one run in 12 innings against Point Loma earlier in the week, the Cougar offense entered Sunday's games with something to p rove-and did so promptly by plating five runs in the f irst inning of game one. ^ a r d o M o r a n was then hit by a pitch, and Steve Harris ripped an RBI double to the gap to extend the lead to 4. Finally, Ryle Parks knocked a base hit to center, plating Harris to give the Cougars a big 5-0 lead. On the mound, CSUSM starting pitcher Chris Skaalen looked very good. He allowed j ust one run through five innings before surrendering a two-run shot in the sixth and exiting.

To get somewhat philosophical, what you wear communicates the essence of your three w's: who you are, what you're about, and what you believe. Basically, you are what you wear,; which is why a pair of sparkly gold TOMS have recently won me over. Prior to falling in love with sequins, I thought TOMS to be the most unattractive piece of shoe wear in America, but put sequins on anything and 1 WILL buy it. In this case, my beloved sequins found themselves on a pair of TOMS and my wild desire to own them led to some research on what the shoe company is all about. TOMS, short for Shoes four years later to do volunteer work and was astounded by the number of children who roamed barefoot, thus the TOMS project was born. Mycoskie enlisted craftsmen from Argentina to design a durable canvas shoe modeled by the ropesoled alpargatas - handmade canvas slippers worn by local farmers. For many children in third world countries, owning a pair of shoes allows them to receive an education, otherwise denied to them by schools that prohibit attendance to barefoot students, based on health and hygienic concerns. In most of the countries where TOMS are distributed, walking is a primary mode of transportation. Walking with no shoes makes bare feet susceptible to cuts, sores, and parasitical infections contracted from contaminated soil, which often lead to amputation, or death. These debilitating infections are absolutely preventable by wearing shoes! In 2009, Mycoskie was awarded the ACE award by Hillary Clinton which acknowledged his "leadership and innovation in the global industry." Recently, Ralph Lauren was invited to guest design a line of vegan-friendly TOMS. Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and even the great Karl Lagerfeld (even my computer knows who he is, I was just spell-checked) are also TOMS supporters. Whether we'll ever see a pair of TOMS on a Chanel catwalk remains to be seen, but the message is clear: what we wear is who we are. To wear TOMS is to be a part of a movement working to improve the lives and health of children we'll probably never meet but feel * ^ANT y ^ A re you looking t o get more involved?

XXIII N O. 3 place o n athletic fee increase to CSUSM BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer Students are due to vote on the proposed athletics fee increase that could potentially decide the f uture of some sports at Cal State San Marcos. According to the Cal State San Marcos athletics website, the proposal would increase the current athletics f ee each semester for three years. A majority in the upcoming vote, which takes place between Feb. 16 and 25, would increase the fees by $20 a semester for three years, starting f rom the next academic year. Students currently pay $80 a year but this would increase $120 a year for the f irst year. T he fees would be $160 for the second year and the increases would stop at $200 for the year at the end of the third academic year. This would allow men's and women's basketball teams to b e set up as well as women's volleyball and dance/cheer. Introduction of these sports would also gain membership to the National Collegiate Athletic Association division two (NCAA). This university is currently in the National Associations of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). This independent association has no conference a ffiliation, making scheduling of matches and competitions d ifficult and o ffers no reimbursement for post-season play. Cal State San Marcos athletics director Tom Seitz feels it is important for the f uture of sports at this university to gain acceptance into the NCAA. Seitz said, "Where the athletics program is right now in the NAIA, there is no f uture there. We need to go to the NCAA. CSUSM is the largest and one of the only schools in the c ountry that does not have men and women's basketball. "The only way we can become a member is to add these sports. Without t his increase it may negatively a ffect the sports we have right now."

I was excited for this expansion from the traditional five, but there was speculation from online commenters that this would be a waste and the nomination would not carry the same merit. When the nominations were PRIDE STAFF W RITERS JAMES R OCHE SARAH G ADDIS KATRINA KLSTLER MALLANE DRESSEL Image courtesy of Voltage Pictures - i » ¿\ - X-, •. announced on Tuesday, I was ecstatic to see the picks. The Academy did a fine job picking the films this year. I think the usual five left out too many films that deserved praise. The ten picks this year are a cross section of some great films from several genres. First, I was most pleased with the nomination of Disney/Pixar's "Up." Despite the franchise's strong history of films, this is only the second animated film ever to be nominated for Best Picture. And it deserved it. It was one of my favorite films of the last decade and is an instant classic. Though I do not think it will upset "Avatar" or "The Hurt Locker," I was pleased the Academy broke the barrier for animated films. I was also happy about the diversity of the films, spanning from the highest grossing movie of all time, to some equally enjoyable independent films.

Thea Mckenzie, junior, is not as affected by the furloughs as others. "All my teachers just have not given out a lot of homework. They take many days off [and] I'm paying more for less education. I'm getting finanJ uan C amacho cial aid so it doesn't affect me to the point where I'm starving, but it's affecting my education because I'm not getting as much as what I should be." Psychology major Katie Bernard attributed her furlough luck to her status as a senior. "Since I'm a senior, the faculty furloughs haven't affected me ail that much, but one way they have is kind of motivated me to get out of here and try and graduate sooner instead of hanging around, knowing that you're paying more ¿id ^ P W you're not getting as much as what you're paying for." Juan Camacho said that he learns less in his Accounting classes due to faculty furloughs. "The furloughs and the budget cuts have really affected me, pretty much [financially] with the [fees] going up and classes being cut off. We learn less and they don't offer as much, not only during the regular semester but the same with summer and winter classes." Being an open university student is particularly difficult with furloughs, according to Communications major Brett Shiffler. "Since I'm taking open university, I've been trying to crash all my classes, so even if the classes are still open the teachers are more reluctant to take kids because of the furloughs and extra students. I don't know if that's what the union [has] been saying or if that's the deal, but it's just been hard to even crash any classes.

If the bright letters and jovial face& of those in these organizations d oipialready have you curious, maybf moils information will, or at least caul® you t o have more appreciation for these organizations. Greek life has a stereotype, mostly extracted from media influences, which the presidents of these organizations are greatly trying to overcome. The president of Alpha Chi Omega, Karissa Joiner, said, "Leave all judgments and previous ideas of these organizations at the door, because if you don't, you might be missing out on a wonderful experience," an experience that includes discovering and respecting yourself, others, and your school. CSUSM recognizes three sororities, Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, and two f raternities, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Zeta Beta Tau. Alpha Pi Sigma is a Latino based sorority that strives to promote unity, and cultural awareness. One of Zeta Beta Tau's leading principles on their website is integrity, which they outline as "maintaining honesty, exhibiting loyalty, and retaining a sense of self discipline." According to Zac Fullmer, ZBT President, "within two short years, ZBT at Cal-State has grown from 14 guys in a dorm room to 43 strong men. Along that journey we have won; Best New Student Org, All Greek Academic Cup, Three time intramural Football Championships, and made thousands of quality relationships with campus students and faculty." Alpha Xi Delta is a sisterhood that lives by the motto "realize your potential." They want each sister to reach Photo by Ben Roffee their highest potential both as a student, and as a member of society. The sisters strive to achieve this goal by attaining accomplishments such as 3,500 hours of community service, and also by raising f unds to contribute to Autism Speaks. These fraternities and sororities pride themselves on dedicating time to philanthropic e fforts. Alpha Chi Omega raised $4,000 last year from their fundraiser, Mr. Alpha Chi, to contribute to Women's Resource Center in Oceanside. They currently work there with women and children who are victims of domestic violence, because they are a sisterhood devoted to establishing strong women within the community. They are looking for new members that will strengthen their presence on campus. The president, Joiner, believes this will "...create a better representation of our Greek life on campus for the city of San Marcos. That way, we can be more positively involved in our community." i Last year, Sigma Alpha Epsilon started the "Rebuild Louisiana" trip, which included 17 individuals. This year they want to broaden the scope of involvement by including Greeks from other, organization. This f raternity exudes tremendous school pride through their cheer group, "The Blue Crew," attending games, which encourages other students to support their student body. When asked about the advantages of being a member, President Travis Wilson said, "Brotherhood. When you have a group of guys, just working together to make each other better, right there, you j ust have success " Not only are these organizations altruistic towards their school, and community, but they also built life long bonds, and have f un along the way. A student can see the perks f rom getting a positive and valuable experience from school. The individuals in these fraternities, and sororities see these organizations as a vehicle to achieve such an experience, not only in school, but also throughout life.

One huge advantage pointments that the iPad came short upon, an the Kindle has over the iPad is its 10-day battery life, compared to a mere 10 hours (of constant use). The most netbooks offer either Windows 7 or Visa and a complete OS. Unless, Windows 7 Starter is your OS, then there are some limitations including noncustomizable desktop wallpaper and a threeapplication limit, which only allows users to run three applications. However, users are able to upgrade for a small price. The iPad may not bereleasedyet, and many people are already looking forward to the next generation, in hopes of resolving some of the major disappointments. However, for an average user, the iPad may be a perfect replacement for a bulky laptop or a netbook. For those looking for an eBook reader, unless you want all the added features the iPad offers, the Kindle, or eBook reader of your choice, may be more cost effective. One thing is for sure, upon its release in April, those supporting the iPad and all haters alike will surely consider stepping into an Apple store to take one for a test drive. To park or not to park? Situation has yet to improve BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer Originally, there were three main lots students used: Parking Lot C (ACD lot), Parking Lot E (MARK lot), and Parking Lot N (SCI lot). In Aug. 2008, lot N closed down in preparation for the construction of a new parking structure, which is due to finish in July 2010. With the closure of lot N, students then used the other two main parking lots. This created an immense amount of overcrowding and traffic surrounding lots C and E. Parking and traffic have now become a serious issue on campus that many students deal with on a daily basis. Numerous students drive to campus in order to attend classes at CSUSM, which makes parking a vital aspect to many students' educations. With the increasing student population, traffic around campus is a factor students must consider in order ASK to get to classes on time. Understanding where students drive from and where they park ultimately determines when students arrive. Each student has a method that guarantees a parking spot, getting to campus, and getting to classes on time. Learning and understanding these methods proves to be an important aspect to many students, but there are still many issues. "I live in Temecula and I have to leave my house an hour before I have class," said Justin Prewitt, a student here on campus. "Depending on the time of day, if I leave any earlier or later I can be late for classes. There is one main road students use to get into campus and it causes a lot of traffic. I usually park in the MARK parking lot towards the back, which affects what time I get to class as well." Another student, Billy Barron, said, "I live five minutes away from campus and I leave twenty minutes before my class, if I a concern that will not go away and may even become worse. Another student, Bryan Alt, expressed his opinion about parking on campus. "The traffic around here is ridiculous. Traffic on campus is a frustrating thing most of the time. I wish there was a better planned parking design for CSUSM." With the completion of the parking structure, due to finish in Aug. 2010, most students only hope it will alleviate the parking issues on campus. ^miiii IfVelcòme your new residenflg ev Russo!

Both of these students have methods that allow them to get to classes on time, but leaving any later can make each student late for class. Getting onto campus proves to be time consuming and affects each student's education.

The game started at 6:28 P.M. (ET) with the Saints receiving the ball f irst. The Saints started slowly with three plays and then a punt. The Colts struck first with a field goal by Matt Stover, the oldest player ever to play in a Super Bowl Championship game, making the score 3-0 Colts. Later in the f irst quarter, quarterback Peyton Man- ning connected with tight end Pierre Garçon for a 19-yard touchdown pass, which made the score 10-0 Co Its. In second Quarter, the Saints began to show some life as Garrett Hartley kicked a 46-yard field goal to make the score 10-3 Colts. Ending the second quarter, Hartley kicked a 47-yard field goal making the score 10-6 Colts. At the Sun Life Stadium "The Who" was main act with a spectacular light show and half-time performance. Some of the classic songs "The Who" performed were "Teenage Wasteland" and "Who are you?" After a much-needed break, the third quarter kicked off as a shock to all spectators. For the f irst time in Super Bowl history, the Saints kicked an on-side kick and recovered the football.

Brees connected with Lance Moore completing the 2-point play making the score 24-17 Saints. The Saints ended the game strong with a Tracy Porter 74-yard interception return for a touchdown, making the f inal score 31-17 Saints.

He t ossed seven e ffortless shutout i nnings, s urrendering j ust t hree h its w hile w alking none and s triking out t hree.

After the idea caught on, it seemed like the same 10 to 12 songs kept appearing on mix tapes, especially ones tailored and intended for the most mix tape-worthy holiday of all, Valentine's Day. Now that iTunes makes mixing and burning CDs so easy, none of you guys have any excuse to hold out on making your girlfriends a mix CD. But all of these mix tape standbys have modern counterparts that need a little mix tape love too. Image courtesy of Lisa Hannigan Take for example Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." I'm just as in love with Lloyd Dobler as any other chick this side of 1983, but this ditty is overplayed. An equally emotive update exists in "Eyes" by Rogue Wave. The idea is the same, but the sound is far more listenerfriendly. Everyone knows "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure. Don't let the rough, streets-of-London exterior that Unkle puts on put you off.

All 23 campuses in the California State University system will hold demonstrations to address California's underfunded public education programs. Though the budget crisis in California's public universities has received much of the public 's attention in recent weeks, the "Day of Action" will take aim at the state's underfunding of public education across the board. According to the California Faculty Association (CFA), "March 4th will be a unified effort of education supporters from all segments of public education in California where participants will hold rallies, demonstrations, teach-ins, and other types of events on every CSU campus and at other locations across the state " The first half of the demonstration will consist of a a teach-in and panel discussion in Academic Hall 102, which will run from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Dr. Scott Greenwood, Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, Dr. Sharon Elise, and Dr. John Haicon are expected to head the panel. The teach-in will also be simulcast at various locations on campus, at Palomar college, and online at www2.csusm.edu/cfa/. Don Barrett, President of CSUSM's CFA chapter, says the panel "will address a range of topics including the California Master Plan, access to publicly-funded higher education, the role of education as a public good, and "deliverology" and its impact on educational excellence." Immediately following the panel discussion, demonstrators will move to Library Plaza, where a rally will take place from 1 1:50-12:50. During the rally, students, faculty, and staff will share personal testimonies on how the budget crisis has affected them. The idea for a statewide day of demonstrations emerged last October at the Statewide Mobilizing Conference held at UC Berkeley. Hosted by the California Campaign to Save Public Education, the conference drew together hundreds of students and faculty to collaborate on a method for bringing attention to the crisis in California's public education. y prts & E n t e r t a i n m e n t W e b s i t e of t h e W e e k l8Anniestreet.com CSUSM Image Courtesy of calfac.org According to the California Coor- schools, unions, and organizations dinating Committee, "this massive from all across California and from meeting brought together representatives from over 100 different See Teach In, Page 3 receives Hispanic Serving Institution status BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor The U.S. Department of Education has awarded CSUSM status as a Hispanic Serving Institute, opening up new avenues for federal funding reserved only for a select group of higher education institutions.

His comments made me think. I asked myselfifthe Olympic Games mattered. That made me wonder if the games a celebration ofculture and unity or self-indulgence for the athletically superior. But it did not take long for me to decide the Olympics are important Sure, it is exclusive to men and women with particular talents. That is only a limited view of the sports. It is the kind of distraction people need from international and economic tensions. That is the first need to have the Olympics. Aside from all the competitions, it is a literal representation of the different countries. Each delegate proves that people can come together. 1 see the Olympics as a sign of hope that people can get over their differences on a global stage. Only the best athletes can participate, which might be seen as marginalizing ordinary people, but I do not see this as a bad thing. Watching someone compete and seeing the potential of a person is encouraging. It shows that anyone can test the limits of what is considered impossible. The selected athletes can also serve as a focal point in bringing their own country together. Just as the entire competition brings the world together, every person can identify with delegatesfromtheir country. In America, decisions over healthcare and the economy drive us apart, but I hope that for a few weeks we can rally together to cheer on our teams and individuals in Vancouver. It is a competition, and it would be a nice morale boost to see our Olym- pians succeed. There can only be one winner, but the competition is exhilarating. Hockey and figure skating are prone torivalriesthat add to the fun. In the end, it is just a game and should be used as a springboard for pride, not hate. Lastly, it is an expression ofculture. Since the game is in Canada, most of the focus will be on that country, but watching the camaraderie and passion amongst teammates is also enlightening. Spectators and participants can see the way other people act, thus appreciate differences and find ways that humans have more in common than realized The world needs the Olympics. The games are not about dividing the world; it is about bringing them together and celebrating the triumphs of strength, skill, and will.

According to research done by Duke University, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students. Here at Cal State San Marcos, our comVI f munity has experienced a number of suicides and suicide attempts this year: yes, it happens here. Why, so many of us wonder, are our students turning to such drastic "solutions" to temporary problems'? Why can't they see that their lives are valuable, important, and so much larger than the anguish they are feeling at that moment? Why can't they see how or ^ piirfiii^^ • 'Itos^riai- e d M M , many people truly care about them? At the Counseling Center, we often speak with these students' friends, families, professors, roommates, or RAs. We see the impact of suicide attempts, even when "unsuccessful", on others.

From the same Duke study, 40% of college students report feeling "so depressed that it's difficult to function" at some point during a typical year. Five to ten percent report thoughts of ending their lives. These thoughts are most often not really desires to die, but for the current pain to end. Please, ifthis is you, find the courage to reach out instead to afriend,a family member, a religious advise»; or a mentor and talk about your pain. Or call Counseling Services here on campus. We know from experience that when given the chance to talk the problems out, people realize that there are options, or that it's not as bad as it seems, or that they aren't as alone as they feel they are, and hope is born again. If you are concerned about a friend or classmate: don't be afraid to ask them about how they're feeling, and don't be afraid to ask them ifthey are thinking about harming themselves. The idea that you might "give them the idea" is false. When people who feel this way are asked, the almost always are relieved that someone sees their pain and cares enough to want to know about it And if you ask, and the person admits that s/he is feeling awful and has even had such thoughts, please, take them seriously. In fact, take seriously ANY such talk: 75% of all people who commit suicide give warnings to friends or family members, and far too many are ignored. Let the person know that you care, that s/he is not alone, that such feelings are temporary, and that there are alternatives. And if the person agrees not to "do anything", make sure s/he has a very specific plan to seek safety and solutions. Who will the person be staying with? What phone number will the student call if s/he feels desperate? Why don't we call the counseling center, or talk to housing staff, or a parent or partnerrightnow? Just because the worst thoughts have gone for the moment, they might return, so the person's safety needs to be provided for. Phone numbers that provide help: San Diego Acces & Crisis Line (a 24/7 hotline): 800-479-3339 Student Health and Counseling Services: 760-750-4915 CSUSM Police: 760-750-4567 or 911 if it's a crisis Please, if you are feeling desperate or dangerous, or if you are seriously concerned about someone who might be, use these numbers. And if you would like advice or information about suicide prevention, contact Counseling Services.

Student Health & Counseling Services U niversity V illage A partments A first-hand report o n ' resort style living7 BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer One of the most important factors involved with going to university is choosing where to live. Here at Cal State San Marcos, one option for students is the University Village Apartments (UVA), located next to the campus. Brian Dawson is director and head of the UVA and hefeelsit is a great place for students to live in. He said, "Our primary mission is to build a community. It's a fun place to be. There are programs going on every night. It's easy to makefriends.By living here it is easier to study, you canfindstudy parties easier." There are also financial benefits to living at the dorms and the UVA is not just being offered to freshman. "Rent is not going to be going up. It's remained fiat In years past freshman got priority but due to the state cutting back our funds, we are opening up to all students. It's on a first come first serve basis," said Dawson. The dorms can house up to 625 students, including 18 Residential Advisors and a Residential Director and there are three types of rooms that are offered. The small-shared room includes four beds and is priced at $6,250 for the academic year and $7500 for the entire year. The large shared room includes two beds and is $8,000 for the academic year and $9,600 for the full year, the final option is a private room which costs $9,000 for the academic year and $10,800 for the full year. Students must all sign and pay a $500 license agreement, which is non- refundable. Students are required to pass monthly cleaning inspections of their apartments and there is a no underage drinking policy. The UVA has a community center, which offers students the opportunity to rent free movies and games. It also includes a game room that contains several Xboxs, a Nintendo Wii, a pool table, an air hockey table and a ping-pong table. Each floor has two Residential Advisors that help students deal with any issues they have while living at the dorms. They are also responsible for organizing different program activities such as the UVA Olympics, which involves floor versus floor competitions. Evan Long is a student that currently lives at the UVA. Long said, "I like the dorms because it's a kind of middle ground between living on your own and living with your parents. I prefer it because it really simplifies things and I want the experience of dorm life." He also thinks that it's not just the students that make the UVA a good place to live. "I really appreciate all the effort that the RAs and staff put into making dorm life more than just studying and drinking," said Long. Other students have echoed Long's comments. Connor Spain also lives at the UVA. "The UVA is pretty nice. You can meet cool people. There is more of a college experience," Spain said.

The CFA Board of Directors officially endorsed the idea on Dec. 5, 2009 with a resolution calling on campus CFA chapters to hold "large on-campus actions that are effective, strategic, and highly visible" on March 4. Lillian Taiz, President of the CFA said, "The future of our country and our state are at stake. Our kids need public education from pre-school all the way to PhD. The slashing of education funds has to stop, and the only way to fight back is for the entire education community to stand together," said Taiz. Participants in the demonstrations are expected to address budget cuts, student fee increases, dwindling course selection, admissions restrictions, layoffs, furloughs, and a myriad of other issues plaguing California's public education estab- an institution for HSI status. The achivement was the result of hard work by a special HSI task force here at CSUSM. According to President Haynes, this task force was "a group of f aculty, s taff, student, and community representatives, who have been working diligently to help the University achieve this designation since I first gave them their charge in 2004." "As CSUSM enters its third decade of service to our region, we can all b e proud that our commitment to the historic mission of public higher education is continuing to move forward.

BY MAbLANE DRESSEL Pride Staff Writer Toyota makes a majority of the vehicles seen here on campus because they a re known for being dependable and fuelefficient vehicles that are affordable to maintain, Recently, the trust in these vehicles has been put into question by the enormous amount of Toyota vehicles being recalled. The p urpose of the recall was brought t o the attention of Toyota by a series of accidents, but many Toyota c ustomers have come f orward since the recall announcements to indicate that t hey had complained about unwanted acceleration before t hese accidents took place; Toyota's improper handling of t hese complaints has caused some Toyota owners to realize that not only can ihey not have t rust in their vehicles p erformance, but they also c an't have t rust in the company's ability t o provide quality; service t hat insures t heir safety! A fatal accident involving a Lexus ES 350 took the lives of four people in Santee, where the vehicle speed up to 125mph on the freeway before it crashed past a truck and went air born off an embankment. Accord-M ing to Toyota, the crash was caused by the throttle being wedged down because there is, "...potential for accelerator pedals to become trapped near the floor by out-of-position or inappropriate floor mat installations." Toyota owners who are affected by this fiobr mat recall are instructed to take out the removable driver's mat and to not replace it with any other mat. The Carlsbad Toyota Supervisor, Jana Leopard, said that this recall j ob would require them to have the vehicle for a whole day. The padding underneath the accelerator, under the carpet, will be reduced. They will also shorten the accelerator pedal, and install a f lash in the vehicles computer that causes the f uel line to be shut off when the brake and throttle are being pushed at the same time, so that the brakes are able to prevail over the accelerator. The other recall is to solve the sticky accelerator problem, which will take the dealership a half-day to perform the modifications. For this recall, the customer c an have access t o a rental car, but they must be twenty-one years old. To f ix the problem the dealership will install a reinforcement bar behind the pedal to lessen f riction. Leopard said that concern for this recall is higher involving high mileage vehicles and vehicles in colder climates. Toyota had f irst believed that the unwanted acceleration was only due to the floor mat wedging the accelerator, but with instances such as the one that occurred in Southlake, Texas, the company had to question their analysis. In Southlake, a 2008 Toyota Avalon sped out of control into a pond, and it was determined that faulty floor Image Courtesy of nhtsa.gov mats did not cause the accident because they were found in the trunk. Toyota is making the correct steps to f ix these faults by issuing the largest recall ever, but the question is have they really learned their lesson? Jim Lentz, President of Toyota Sales in the USA makes a statement that implies that the Company wants to minimize the blame. "With respect to unintended acceleration, a rare event for which all automakers have received complaints, the causes can indeed be d ifficult to identify." He boasts about the company, "Confirmed incidents of unintended accelera- tion are a very small fraction of Locations: Carlsbad - 760-438-2000 vehicles on the road, and T oy/ Escondido - 760-746-0601 ota's track record for reliability remains strong " ; They recommend making an appointment.

S even c old remedies y ou d idn't k now y ou h ad BY AMY SALISBURY Editor-in-Chief We've all seen those signs on campus: "If you're sick, stay home!" Most people would not hesitate at the chance to skip a day of class, but when you are not feeling so bad that all jyou want is to stay in bed, taking a sick day has the potential to be boring. If Me common cold is what ails you, there are a few coldfixesmost everyone has at hdme to fill a day with healing power (or at least something to do). Have some OJ with your breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice not only takes a little time to prepare, but it is afeaone of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence. According to ^biologist Thomas Peel, vitamin C is not only effective infightingcolds, but it helps in the growth and rebuilding of bone and muscle. Stay away from chalky vitamin C wafers, as the U.S. Food and Nutrition board recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than multivitamins, since the latter are synthetic and less easily absorbed. Go lay out. Here in San Diego, tanning in February is certainly not out of the question. Getting some sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your mood in a positive way. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed moods during Fall and Winter, mostly because of a vitamin D deficiency. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin D is great for the body and mind. Listen to mom, have some chicken soup. The old mantra as a standby for cold treatment is more valid than you might think. Soup has much more water in it than other foods, aiding in hydration when your body is trying to fight off a cold virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional ^hicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A; Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist, in case that dry cough is getting tough to handle (lifeclinic. com). Read: chocolate and peanut butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here, but both foods are high in zinc, which has the potential to shorten the duration of a cold. Chocolate candy with high concentrations of cacao is preferred, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database. Organic peanut butter made from oil-roasted peanuts and minimal sweeteners is your best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides nearly half of the RDA of zinc. Calm down with chamomile. Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the eyes. Calm redness in your eyes with the super anti-inflammatory food, chamomile. Make a weak tea, let it cool until it is barely warmer than your skin, and rinse your; face with it. According to | he FDA, chamomile causes allergfc reactions in some individuals, so test the solution on the inside of your wrist first. Take a dip in the spa.

XXIII N O. 5 M an arrested in connection with d isappearance of local teenage girl BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor The search for Chelsea King, a local high school girl that disappeared last week, will resume this week despite treatment of the case by local law enforcement as a homicide. King, a 17 year-old Poway resident, disappeared while on a run at Rancho Bernardo Park near Lake Hodges Thursday evening. Authorities have already identified a suspect in connection with King's disappearance. According to Bill Gore of the San Diego County Sheriffs Department, officers apprhended John Albert Gardner III Sunday afternoon outside of Hernandez Hide-A-Way, a restaurant in the small Lake Hodges community known as Del Dios. Gardner, a 30 year-old registered sex offender, now faces charges of first-degree murder and rape by force. At a press conference last evening, Sheriff Gore said, "evidence was discovered to link Gardner to Ms. King in such a manner as to warrant his arrest." Though the Sheriffs department would not elaborate, physical evidence linking Gardener to the crime has been found in the area where Chelsea King disappeared. Chelsea's mother, Kelly King, told reporters on Monday that investigators identified Gardner's elsea [858] 513-2800 5*5** 115 LBS PETITE BUILD - STRAWBERRY BLONDE HAIR LAST SEEM 2/25/10 IN RUNNING CLOTHES DNA on victim's underwear found near Lake Hodges.

Paul Levikow from the San Diego County District Attorney's office said, "There are murder cases that get tried without a body. There is one going on now." Parents Brent and Kelly King insist they will continue to search fortheir daughter, aided by friends and volunteers from around the community. Those involved in the search have relied heavily on social networking sites like Image courtesy ofthe King Family Facebook and Twitter to spread up to date information. Those interested in volunteering can go to Chelsea King Search Center located at 11858 Bernardo Plaza Court.

The Carlsbad-based company In Motion Inc. is organizing the event, which is due to start on the Mangrum Track on campus at 8am. Hugo Lecomte is director of Campus Recreation on campus, which is helping co-host the event. Lecomte said, "The running event is going to be one of the best ones because we have a very strong company helping us, a company with a lot of experience. It's a very easy event—if you don't feel like running you can walk it. It's a cheap price for this event, so it might be yourfirstopportunity as a student to participate to a running event."

The lead actors are a little more difficult to predict. Colin Firth won the BAFTA for Best Actor for "A Single Man," but I think Jeff Bridges will take the Oscar for his role in "Crazy Heart."

It will come down to if the Academy wants to award Gabourey Sidibe, for her breakout role in "Precious," Carey Mulligan, for a well-rounded performance in the coming-of age story "An Education," or Sandra Bullock, for her years of work in Hollywood leading up to her performance in "The Blind Side." But the big winner is going to be "The Hurt Locker." This summer indie film passed more people by, but it is cleaning up at other award ceremonies. Not only will it win for its screenplay, editing, cinematography, and sound, but 1 guarantee it will win Best Picture and Director. I doubt the other likelyfilm,James Cameron's "Avatar," will top Kathryn Bigelow's story of the bomb squad in Iraq.

"The 5k, which is I think a 3.1 mile course, goes around the campus. It's mostly on campus and circles all around the campus and the start and finish will be on the track. It's an amazing event, 5k is a great distance; you can either walk, jog or run. "The other event is the Ilk. This one is more challenging. It will go to the top of the mountain that you see outside the university and there is a park called double peak. It's mostly on trails and it's a very big challenge because there is a lot of elevation gain so it's a big race for heart rate," said Lecomte. Both the races are due to start at 8 AM. However, the students running in the 11km race will be released in a series of waves and not all at once. The event also allows faculty, staff, and the outside community to take part. There is also reason for those who do not which to compete to come to the event. "Everybody can sign up to be a volunteer, also on the website, so if they don't want to register to race or to run or to walk, they can always volunteer for this event," said Lecomte.

Here at California State University of San Marcos, students who smoke take up a significant portion of the student population. In 2005, based on a new state law, from Title 8 California Code of Regulations section 5148, has affected how CSUSM views oncampus smoking. On the CSUSM campus, there are nine designated smoking areas for students, faculty, and staff to use. This law means that at CSUSM smokers can only smoke in designated areas. Students can experience many harmful affects from smoking or from exposure to second-hand smqke. Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's health educator, said, "There are many risks associated with cigarette smoking. According to The Health Consequences of Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General, smoking causes approximately: 90% of all lung cancer deaths in men, 80% of all lung cancer deaths in women, and 90% of deaths from chronic obstructive lung disease. "The adverse health effects from cigarettes smoking accounts for an estimate of nearly one of every five deaths or 443,000 deaths in year in the US. Besides lung cancer and an increase in coronary heart disease," Nguyen said, "smoking can cause respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, and chronic airway obstruction." All of these health risks associated with smoking could affect any student here at CSUSM, whether lighting up or from exposure to second-hand smoke. Another factor as to why students light up deals students who socially smoke with peers. Nguyen also provided information about CSUSM and the students that are lighting up. She said, "According to the National College Health Association results from a survey that was administered to CSUSM students in the Spring of 2009, 64% of our student population does not smoke and has never smoked a cigarette. Of the 36% of students that have used cigarettes, only 15% of that group has smoked a cigarette within the last 30 days." This data shows that over half the student population is not lighting up. According to data only, the social aspect of smoking does not necessarily affect CSUSM students. With less than half of the student population smoking at CSUSM, it is important to understand how some of student body sees smoking on campus. Chris Rahn, CSUSM Student, said, "The designated smoke areas on campus aren't strategically placed. Every day I walk by smok- ers to and from my classes and car. As a student here at CSUSM I wish I did not have to be around smoking on such a regular basis." Another student, Tiffany Walker, had a different opinion. Walker said, "Smoking on campus doesn't bother me. As long as students are smoking outside, they can do as they please. If I really had a problem with smok- \ University ' - >/ ;' S^Uggi responded to a call from l bookstore^ staff stating that a [ theft was in progress.

"I think it will bring a lot of awareness to the situation. I'm pretty sure [teachers] aren't allowed to talk about it, or they're not supposed to be giving their opinions [about] the matter. I understand that the teachers have lots of stressful things; they have to do research and maintain the classes that they teach. They have a lot of work to do. I understand that." "I think it's important for the teachers to have their time to have what they need to say and I think it's a good idea that they stream it in class to get everybody else aware, all their students aware of everything, because we are in hard times.

Taking a closer look at CSUSM's first radio station and the students inside the studio and on the airwaves, Thi Pride got the privilege of having a Q&A with the maker behind CSUSM College Radio. V=The Pride RV= Rosario Vizcaino, President of CSUSM College Radio. P: whose idèa was it to start a college radiò station? RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008 with the help of my classmate Ryan Mcelroy. It initially started as an idea for a class project, which unfortunately was dropped by our professor and a few classmates because it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project at that time." i*It wasn't over for me just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately CSUSM radio station and setup a media that we would be the first students to come up with it." P: How did the project evolve and get developed? RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately went forward with the process of forming a club, which was finalized at the end of November in 2008. With the minimal support we initially had, I had then decided that col1ege r adio w ould happen no matter what. P: How did you start a radio station from scratch? RV: "I acquired the domain name and created a web page for the radio station. I hosted it s treaming service. With the help of Ryan, I made a simple design that would be easy to use and yet it would be robust. We tested it and loved it." "With no expectations of the outcome, we then went over to Student Life and Leadership on campus and made a live demo which generated an immediate positive chain reaction. We had created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it has been granted full status as an organized club on campus as of February of 2010." "Yes we are new and we plan to be here for a long time!" P: What is your m ission statement? RV: "By the s tudents for the students!" P: What type of radio s t a - tion would you consider yourself? RV: "CSUSM College Radio was founded with a purpose in mind and that is to encourage and promote cultural diversity on campus. So send us your request and if you feel you have the courage to talk on the radio email us collegeradio@csusm. info." P: How can students listen in and interact with college radio? RV: "Please go to www. csusm.info and send us your request through our contact page. You can chat with us or simply call us at (760) 6704131." P: What does college radio strive for in the future? What will become of college radio? RV: "College Radio is here to stay." P: What are unique projects will our college radio host? RV: "We will cover news, sports, current events and your favorite music." CSUSM College Radio primarily runs through online streaming, their interactive website offers video shows of the most recent student organization fair and they are eager to begin offering footage and live radio casting from sporting events. Baseball team hits homerun season for C SUSM BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer. Here at CSUSM, the baseball team is up to bat and gives our small athletic department a big name. The CSUSM baseball team has started out their season with eight wins,fivelosses, and one tie. This season has proved to be difficult, but the cougars have stood strong. "There have been a lot of injuries this season, but the players and team have exceeded my expectations while dealing with a tough schedule," said baseball coach Dennis Pugh. The CSUSM baseball team rested these past two weeks and now is looking forward to an away game against Chapman University on March 5 at 2:00 PM. The following game will be March 6 playing Chapman again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at Escondido High School. "A lot of people don't know about CSUSM's baseball team. We love our fans, but we would love it if even more CSUSM students and fans could make it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior. With the new Softball field built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty. Now, the baseball team awaits their turn for a home field here on campus. Even with their home fields spread out around San Diego at Escondido High School, Poway High School, and Point Loma, the team's season thus far has shown a great amount of success and dedication. "I think our team should do pretty well this season though. Hopefully, we can make it to playoffs and win," continued Julienne. On March 9, the cougars will be playing a double header facing Illinois Tech at 11:00 AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School. The next two days the Cougars play Illinois Tech again on March 10 at 6:00 PM and on March 11 at 6:00 PM located at Escondido High School. Cougars then play Concordia at Poway High School at 6:00 PM on March 16. This will be a tough game for the Cougars, but hope to pull out a win against Concordia.

Suddenly the town's residents By Bill Rhein /Senior Staff Writer "BITCH SLAP" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer JJ cial aspect to this type of film is can it create the tension and the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account, there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat. The slow build up of the music and the different use of camera angles create the tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in your mouth' moment. If you are the kind of person that likes movies that make you 'jump out of your seat' then this one is for you, countless scenes can make the viewer leave their chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the way through. However, for me some of the scenes became a little predictable, as it was clear towards the end that the 'jump out of your chair' moment was coming, and as a result I wasn't surprised when it did. I felt that the characters were quite believable for most of the movie; Timothy Olyphant plays his character quite well.

CSUSM leads this year's competition, which finishes on March 27, since week one, according to Carl Hanson, an Administrative Analyst at CSUSM. "We're doing well/' said Hanson, coordinator for the recycling campaign. "We started out in the lead and the lead has shrunk a little bit but were still up by good seven, seven and a half points, and we're hopeful that we'll continue to do well enough to come in ahead." -^ , V* Íííi&.í « sBllliillliiil llSllllllii II* t Photo by James Seabring The results of the competition are announced in mid-April, once all the participants have sent in their data, according to recyclemania.org. Universities and colleges compete against each other over a 10-week period to see which has the best recycling program. RecycleMania ranks participants according to which category they entef. These categories include most recyclables per capita, the highest amount of recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, Image courtesy of CSUSM.edu and who has achieved the highest recycling rate. For more information about the event go to www. recyclemania.org. CSUSM enters the highest recycle rate category and holds the title of Grand Champion for the past five years in a row. Hanson said the reason he feels the campus has done so well over the years is down to good planning. "First of all, when this university was established, we began the recycling program at the same time. So when everybody got their trash containers they got blue ones. So from the very beginning in the offices and the classrooms everybody saw that you can recycle and it was just a given. "It was like putting your seatbelt on. You just do it," Hanson saidv Recycle bins are located all over the campus and are placed next to trash containers. They are color coded and labeled to avoid confusion between the twoT Support has also been an important part of the success.

Booths supplied information about alcohol consumption, sexual protection, transportation, and activities associated with spring break. At the event the mock-tails of Screwdrivers, and Shirley Temples, gave the students not only a refreshment to enjoy with their Chick-Fil-A but informative facts about alcohol's effects on the body. Students who pledged not to drink and drive during spring break received free chicken sandwiches. Those who pledged also wore a bracelet, showing other students through out the day that they had made the pledge. When student Stevie Perez was asked about the pledge he made, he said, "It's a great reminder. I will keep the pledge bracelet on to remind me not to drink and drive, and to remember to not let my own friends drink and drive." At the mock-tail booth, volunteers supplied pamphlets on alcohol poisoning, and information about designated drivers. The booth also promoted the RADD program, where designated drivers supplying the pledge card with the RADD logo would receive free non-alcoholic beverages at the 23 participating bars in the Pacific Beach and Mission Beach area. If students are staying local, the event promoted the Breeze Sprinter as a transportation alternative to driving. The Sprinter can transport drinking students safely to the popular areas by the beach, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Unfortunately, the Sprinter's last pick up from Oceanside is an early See ASI, Page 3 Photo by Mollane Dressel Looking to get involved with school, experience to add to your resume, or an extra j ob?

The site, found at chatroulette.com, incorporates one-onone instant messaging and video chat in a new way that could re-revolutionize online interaction. Chatroulette, which launched in late 2009, is now generating high traffic in the US and around the world, according to the tracking company Alexa. I think part of this newfound interest can be attributed to the press it received about the some users exploit the video feature for sexual purposes. The website could easily launch itself among the ranks of Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace by changing its anonymous, instant action set up t o a site that requires users to create ,a profile, like the aforementioned network sites. This addition of profiles would have two radical consequences. First, it would allow users to stay connected and chat with friends, similar to Skype or AIM, but still let them meet new people, who could be àdded as friends. This would result in a personal touch for users to enjoy. Second, it would decrease the amount of sexual deviants that lurk the website. Website moderators could ban and block profiles of users who act explicitly and expose themselves on camera. I have estimated it is roughly ten percent of users who do explicit acts to give the website a bad reputation, and if moderators eliminated them, Chatroulette would flourish. Facebook and Twitter and Facebook MySpace have already proven that people enjoy staying connected with friends using profile systems. By also allowing users to connect with strangers, Chatroulette could be part of the movement that earned the Internet a nomination for the Noble Peace Prize, The committee cited the openness of Internet communication around the world has allowed for ideas to be shared in a way that could bring global unity. Since using Chatroulette, I have met people f rom Sweden, Korea, South A frica, and China, j ust to n ame a few countries. This experience humanizes people f rom d ifferent countries, and it reemphasizes the sentiment that we are not that different, despite what country we live in. Lastly, I have a hunch that Facebook w ill soon have a similar video interaction feature. Facebook, which managed to keep Twitter f rom overtaking it by the changing t he the set up f or status u pdates, might add a Chatroulette-clone f eature as a application.

Tuesday, March 23, 2 0 1 0 The competition started in 2001 with just two schools, Ohio University and Miami University, and it now covers over 600^schools, including international participants in Canada and Qatar. The growth of RecycleMania can be further illustrated since such large corporations as Coca Cola now sponsor it. CSUSM also recycles construction materials like metals, tiles and wood as well as green waste and hazardous waste like lamps. The next step for the university is to create a composting program to deal with the food service areas. This extra work will not affect the results of the competition, said Hanson. Many students at the event believed that the purpose of the event, safety while having fun, was great to have right before spring break, but some students thought that the purpose of the event was not being fully repre- sented. Student Akeisa Abercrombie commented about how influential the event was actually on students. "They are giving awareness, it's not enough, but at least they're taking the initiative to help people make smart decisions." The event may not be enough to guarantee that every student will have a safe Spring Break, but it definitely was presented to enough students to make a difference. House of Representatives approves sweeping health care overhaul BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor A year long debate on health care in America has come to an end as House Democrats passed legislation this last weekend to fundamentally overhaul the nation's health care system in the coming decades. President Obama is expected to sign the legislation on Tuesday, marking the end of a drawn out and polarizing public debate that has divided Republicans and Democrats across the country. The overhaul is expected to provide coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans by 2019. The reform legislation is comprised of two separate bills, the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3950). Both bills passed with a vote of 219-212, a narrow victory buoyed by a majority coalition of House Democrats. The House Republicans unanimously opposed the legislation, an indicator of a lasting partisan divide on the issue that has come to dominate the debate. To secure support from wavering Democrats, advocates of the legislation were forced to make some key concessions, abandoning ambitions for a governmentrun insurance program and prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortions. Republicans unanimously opposed the legislation, indicating the partisan nature of the health care overhaul debate. Under the new legislation, Insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny coverage to individuals based on pre-existing conditions and will eventually be barred from charging higher premiums or canceling services for these individuals. The overhaul also also includes requirements for workers to insure their employees and citizens to obtain insurance, instituting steep fines for failures to comply. LastThursdaytheCongressional Budget Office (CBO) placed the cost of the overhaul at $940 billion in the first ten years, with a $138 billion reduction in the deficit during that time. The CBO also projected a potential reduction of the deficit by as much as one half percent of the GDP in the subsequent decade. President Obama Image courtesy of childlifehope.org Solidarity vs. Ignorance: Uniting Against Anti-Indian Assignments at CSUSM commented on the passage of the reforms, saying, "Congress finally declared that America's workers, America's families, and America's small businesses deserve the security of knowing that here in this country, neither illness nor accident should endanger the dreams they've worked a lifetime to achieve." House Minority leader, Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio), expressed his frustration with the bill just before it went to a vote, saying, "In this economy, with this, unemployment, with our desperate for jobs and economic growth, is this really the time to raise taxes, create bureaucracies and, and burden every job creator in our land? The answer is no."

Most major airlines charge a fee to check only one bag. Public transportation is a potential nightmare when you're lugging 50 extra pounds of stuff around with you. "Backpackfag" is redefined when your pack is too big to carry on your back. With some planning and paring down, your pack and mood will improve. The first failure of persistent over-packers is that they do not plan ahead. Making lists isn't just for the obsessive compulsive anymore. Lists help you prioritize what items __ you need verses what items are most used. Student Katie Freligh combats common problems when she packs her bags. "I always want to pack too much," Frelighsaid, "because I never know what to packjust to cover the basics." Think about the type of trip you're planning and pack for it. For example, most hotels have blow dryers, saving you the extra five pounds of weight a blow dryer would add. Opt for versatile casual shoes or sneakers instead of shoes for every occasion. Do you need that giant North Face coat? Pack your warmest sweatshirt and sacrifice some shivers. Remember to consider whether you will have access to laundry services or Laundromats. Besides remembering to pack plenty of quarters, think about the number of each item you should bring. Instead of three jeans and two shorts, pack one pair of each, and alternate your items until you get a chance to wash your clothes. Senior Shannon Brogan suggested an alternative to the traditional trifold for clothes. "Roll your shirts and pants, and sit on [the bag] if you have to," she said, "I'm pretty good;at getting everything in a carry-on." The kind of bag you use is as important as what goes in it Doug Dyment, "The Go Light Guru," offers three aspects to take into account when choosing luggage: quality, transportability, and airline carry-on limits. Dyment said, "you want a bag that's no laiger than carry-on size with soft sides and sturdy construction. "Soft-sided luggage is much to be preferred over the hard^shelled variety. Hard bags are heavier and do not cope with therigorsof extended travel nearly as well as their more yielding counterparts." If you are flying and decide to carry on, remember to check your airline's prohibited list Adhering to the rules will ensure a quicker checkin and help avoid being forced to throw anything out because it violates the Transportation Security Administration's rules. Buyiiig travel-size shampoos or lotions will also lighten up the weight ofyour luggage. The TSA allows most items they deem hazardous in checked bags. Their website, tsa.gov, offers a downloadable PDF for quick reference. For the truly impaired, Mats Henricson created the Universal Packing List, an interactive, user-friendly list customizable to the individual's travel needs. Find the UPL at http'J/ upl.codeq.info/.

Nearest to CSUSM, Mexico is a popular travel destination with cheaper hotel costs than other vacation spots and is known for a high tolerance of underage drinking, great beaches and fun activities. Although a spring break get-a-away to Mexico sounds like the perfect adventure, this popular student vacation spot is also known for dangerous drug activity and caution must be taken when traveling aboard. The U.S State Department, Bureau of Consular Affairs have issued a recent travel alert expressing that a number of locations along the U.S Mexico border are experiencing rapid growth in the rates of robberies, homicides, carjackings and petty of our local theme parks. Students can head to SeaWorld or the Wild Animal Park for a day of fun with friends. The Wild Animal Park offers a butterfly jungle March 27- April 18, this butterfly jungle allows guests to walk through and enjoy a simulated South American rain forest with a variety of butterflies available to see and interact with. Sea World celebrates spring nights with a firework show and special late night sea lion show. For information about SeaWorld, please visit www. seaworid.com Image courtesy of Cracked.com travel thefts, notably in Tijuana and northern Baja California within the last year. "Mexican drug cartels are engaged in violent conflict, both among themselves and with Mexican security services, for control of narcotics trafficking routes along the U.S.-Mexico border. To combat violence, the government of Mexico has deployed military troops throughout the country. U.S. citizens should cooperate fully with official checkpoints when traveling on Mexican highways,1" said the travel alert. "Common-sense precautions such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas during daylight hours, and avoiding areas where prostitution and drug dealing might occur, can help ensure that travel to Mexico is safe and enjoyable," continued the advisory. More safety tips for traveling include always taking the main roads and traveling during the daylight hours, travel in a group, do not travel alone, and never dis- play expensive watches, purses or even jewelry as these items can viewed as easy targets for crimes. Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international cell phone reception and service. Many carriers offer this service for a limited amount of days, not a long-term contract, and for a sensible price. For convenience and safety, a cell phone can be used in case of an emergency. U.S citizens can contact the nearest U.S consulates or the U.S Embassy in case of any trouble. Contact numbers are listed on the travel.state.gov website. �Tuesday March 2 3, 2 070 Sports THE PRIDE III i i Baseball wins double-header, completes three game-sweep of C SULA BY KYLE TREMBLEY Strong, timely hitting and resilient pitching were keys for Cougar baseball on Saturday, as the squad took both ends of a double-header at Cai State Los Angeles, 10-8 in game one and 9-4 in game two. CSUSM completes the threegame road sweep of the Golden Eagles, members of NCAA Division II and the CCAA Conference. The Cougars improve to 17-7 this season, while CSULA drops to 12-13. In game one, the Cougars got down early, battled back to take a commanding lead, then held on for dear life at thè end. Starting pitcher Travis McCracken gave another strong effort, allowing four runs in six innings of work. All those runs were scored in the third inning, and McCracken was able to bounce back and shut out CSULA for the rest of his outing. The win improves him to 5-1 this season. A Matt Jenkins solo home run put CSUSM up 1-0, but the team found itself down 4-1 after CSULA's big third inning. The Cou- gars would cut into that lead in the fourth and fifth innings, with Mike Pena driving in Josh Miller in the former, and Miller driving in Kevin Silvett in the latter. CSUSM's patience at the plate played a huge role in the win. The Cougars drew 11 walks in the contest, and they played a key role in a six-run sixth inning that ultimately decided the game. Pena and Omar Manzanarez led off the frame by drawing walks, and Ricardo Moran drove in the inning's first run with a base hit. Secciani, Silvett, and Miller all walked, pushing home two more runs, and a Ryle Parks base hit brought two more runs home. Finally, Pena earned his second walk to extend the inning, and an error pushed the Cougar lead to 9-4. CSUSM stayed patient in the seventh, as Moran, Secciani, Silvett, and Miller were walked in order to lead of the inning, making it 10-4. The Cougars got a taste of their own medicine in the eighth; however, as the bullpen walked three men to start the inning and CSULA took advantage, scoring four runs to cut it to 10-8. But closer Spencer Pardon was able to work out of it, getting all three outs in the eighth and working a relatively easy ninth to pick up the save. Game two would play out much the same way, minus the late comeback attempt by the Golden Eagles. Starting pitcher Johnny Holtman earned his first win of the year, striking out two and walking none in four innings of work. He gave up four runs in the third inning, but like McCracken, was flawless in the rest of his work. Silvett got things started for CSUSM in the first, belting a solo home run to, but once again the Cougar offense didn't really kick in until they were down 4-1. In the top of the fourth, Johnny Omahen singled in Mitch Ferguson to make it 4-2, and the Cougars would go on to take their first lead the following inning. Moran led off the fifth with a single, and with two outs, Miller reached on an error, and Parks made the defense pay with a huge three-run home run to put his team up 5-4. After reliever Ricky Chavarria worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the inning, Miller. doubled home Secciani to put CSUSM up 6-4. CSULA threatened in the bottom of the sixth, putting two on with no outs, but Julienne entered the game and put out the fire, inducing a double-play and fly out to get out of the jam unscathed. In the top of the seventh and final inning, the Cougar offense put it out of reach. Ferguson and Omahen led off with singles, and after a failed sacrifice bunt, Manzanarez drew a walk to load the bases for Moran. Moran would put the cherry on top of what has been a brilliant series at the plate for virtually the entire Cougar lineup, ripping a triple down the right field line to clear the bases. Julienne struck out the side in the seventh to earn his first save of the season, secure the 9-4 win, and finish off the huge sweep. The Cougars are off to a great start to their tour of the CCAA conference, but things won't get easier at #2 UC San Diego on the road on Monday at 2:00 PM.

CSUSM defeated Kenyon College 11-0, then the U. of Puget Sound 10-1. The wins push CSUSM's win streak to 8 games, and improve the team to 16-6 this season. Sandberg improves to 15-3 this season. Against Kenyon, the Cougar offense powered the team to three runs in the first, one in the second, two in the third, and finallyfivein the fifth to close the game out via the mercy rule. Shanti Poston led all batters with three hits, and teammates Elizabeth Bush, Alicia Ingram, Alyssa Dronenburg, and Erica Coelho all tallied a pair of hits. Coelho and Lauren Nelson drove in two runs each in what was a very balanced effort at the plate. On the mound, Sandberg cruised to the victory, tossing four innings of three-hit, zerowalk shutout ball. She struck out five hitters before Ciera Ashman came in to close out the game. It was much of the same in the second half of the double-header, as CSUSM jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the second and never looked back. Ingram, the speedster, and power-hitting Dronenburg led the way, with the former going 4-for-4 with J runs and 2 RBI, and the latter going 3-for-5 with her ninth home run of the season and 5 RBI. Sandberg survived a seasonhigh 7 walks by striking out a season-high 14 in six innings of work. She allowed just three hits and one run before giving way to Chanel Rose, who threw a perfect seventh to cap the victory. CSUSM will continue play at the Sun West Tournament on Saturday when they face St. Mary's and host school Chapman.

XXIII N O. 6 March 4th teach-in and rally spark motive for change BY BEN ROFFEE & SANDRA CHALMERS Mar. 4-Four distinguished members of CSUSM's faculty convened in Academic Hall 102 today for a teach-in to speak out against the stripping of funding for California's Higher Education programs. Coinciding with the statewide "day of action," an eclectic panel of professors from a multitude of academic fields offered their critiques of the CSU and UC systems and offered solutions based on their respective fields of study. Many students were forced to stand in the back or sit on stairs and in passageways as the room was filled to capacity. Organizers simulcasted the teach-in live to dozens of locations on campus and over the internet, reaching hundreds more who had class or were otherwise unable to make it to the event. First to speak was Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, professor of Economics, shedding light on the effects of cuts to public education as they relate to the economic wel- 1 3131¡ • I pjR hH ViyHfMÈ Émm ¡ É fare of the state. Like an investment, said Dr. Basu, public education is capable of garnering valuable benefits for the public if the public chooses to assume the responsibility of paying for it. According to Dr. Basu, "as a college student, when you graduate, you accrue a personal rate of return, which currently in the U.S. is about 15%. So you are making an extremely good investment by being here because that 15% is much higher than any investment you could make anywhere else." "There is also a social rate of return-this is only looking at what the state gets back from education-and that is about 9%, which means that even for the government, for the state, its a very good investment to invest in education as opposed to other areas." Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor in the Political Science and Global Studies departments, assessed the political implications in California of the budget crisis in its public higher education programs. At the core of this Photo by Ben Roffee - issue, said Dr. Greenwood, is the dependency of the CSU and UC systems on a volatile tax base bound to unpredictable economic forces. According to Dr. Greenwood, "Ideally what we want to is try to find a way to stabilize the revenue source, not just for the general fund but also for public education. One possible solution is this bill [A.B. 656] that's going to tax oil extraction in California.

The CCR was formerly a graduation requirement for CSUSM undergraduates unless an approved computing course satisfied the requirement. It then moved to being mandatory for all students to pass before graduating. As per an expired campus mandate, undergraduates must complete a three-part exam consisting of displayed proficiency in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Viruses, and ethics associated with software and the Internet. The decision to eliminate the requirement, originated from a recommendation by the Aca- demic Senate, according to the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Affairs. Should students still feel the need to educate themselves on content necessary for computer competency, it is recommended they enroll in CS 100. The course provides a brief overview of computing and focuses on the same topics covered in the CCR. "The Student Technology Help Desk (STH) also provides support and training for students," the announcement said. The Student Help Desk is located on the second floor of Kellogg Library. The staff is well-versed in a variety of applications for both PC and Mac. �Tuesday, M ord. 16, 2 010 OpjiljOn ____rHEWDE T H E ( ^ P RIDE EDITORIAL STAFF C O-EDITORS-IN-CHIEF AMY SALISBURY SANDRA CHALMERS N EWS EDITOR BEN ROFFEE COPY E DITOR AMY SALISBURY LAYOUT EDITOR R UDY M ARTINEZ D ISTRIBUTION MANAGER BILL R HEIN BUSINESS M ANAGERS SALES REPRESENTATIVE KRJSTINA LAWLER M ARTINEZ PRIDE_ADS#CSUSM.EDU ADVISOR JOAN A NDERSON SENIOR STAFF WRITERS BILL R HEIN P RIDE STAFF W RITERS JAMES R OCHE MALLANE DRESSEL KATRINA KLSTLER SARAH G ADDIS O ur community shines in dark times BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer The inconveniences and f rustrations of f urloughs and bad budgets has stretched the f iber of our school, and the recent g raffiti inciting hate created even more disappointment. But the student and s taff response has been very encouraging. The rally against the pay cuts, f urloughs, enrollment caps, and other problems we face because of the budget cuts on March 4 was an inspiring event. I was skeptical of how much of an e ffect a rally and teach-in would have, but the climate on campus that day was h opeful. I was glad to see so many people come together because it is easy to forget this problem is bigger than one individual is. However, what impressed me the most was the protest organized by many student organizations against hate crimes and discrimination. The words scribed on the wall of our campus were ignorant and upsetting, but I do not want to draw attention to that. It is a shame that this happened, that someone felt strongly enough to do that. But out of this dark moment, it was emotionally moving to see the student body come together. Our community did not respond with anger or a backlash, but with unity and support. It would be nice if we could take these problems away. But since we live in the real world, we have to deal with them. There is no longer a need to be discouraged or hopeless in these situations. We have already proved we can come together and do something unexpected. Now is the time to keep tumbling dominos to improve Photo by Sarah Gaddis N eed some c çiicK c ash?

From the Sociology department, Dr. Sharon Elise discussed public education in California as it relates to race, gender, and class issues. Against the backdrop of recent racist events on campus, Dr. Elise took aim at what she described a system of "entitlement" that has emerged in California's higher education. "There has always been something particularly threatening about educated people of color, something threatening to the status quo of race and property distribution in the United States," said Dr. Elise. "The provision of free public higher education is fundamental to creating social justice and equity, and so it is also central to the fight against racial injustice." Dr. John Halcon from the Department of Education gave his opinion on some of the structural shortcomings California's approach to public higher education. Remarking on the theory of "deliverology" and the CSU's "Master Plan, Dr. Halcon said, "I believe that when higher education becomes a privilege, only the privileged will afford higher education. Deliverology is top-down management and anti-democratic." "In my opinion, we can expect that Deliverology will change future graduates from that of well-rounded articulate thinking to competent technicians capable of following orders but fundamentally incapable of thinking for themselves," added Dr. Halcon Rally at Library Plaza Last Thursday began a nation wide protest against education budget cuts that have left campuses frustrated and demanding a change. CSUSM held a teach-in rally that allowed for students, faculty, and staff to voice their feelings and struggles on how the budget cuts have affected them. In the academic year of fall 2009 - spring 2010 students have experienced tuition hikes, furlough days for faculty and staff, fewer classes to choose from and a cap on the amount of units that may be taken per semester. These changes have crippled our campus, leaving students, faculty and staff aggravated, but motivated to implement change. Students are paying more for tuition and student services but are receiving less than in years before. Furlough days have taken 10 percent of student's education, by representing the 10 percent pay cuts that faculty are enduring. Although students are receiving less education they are spending more in tuition than in 2008 when no furloughs were in practice. The rally called for all who are disgruntled to gather together to respond in protest to the current situation. Many student clubs and organizations responded by supporting the rally with hand made signs that shared their feelings of misfortune with the education system. The political science club held a "poster making party" that encouraged students to bring markers and other decorative items in preparation for the rally. The student organization also created an event page on facebook concerning the rally. " Tell your friends, classmates, and people in your community! Everyone needs to know that CSUSM is participating in this call to action for public education," said in the description of the event. This sort of buzz and excitement for the rally and teach-in event was easily generated and passed on to students and faculty members and united them by creating this event as a outlet for expression as well as a movement for change.

This would be the first of five Hate Crimes reported on campus within a week. The vandalized bathroom stall featured a graffiti message about seven b y seven inches in diameter. University President, Karen Haynes notified staff and students of the event early the next day in a campus wide email. "I will not tolerate any attempts to intimidate or threaten our University community," wrote President Haynes.

Activity died down and various clubs and organizations planned a "Stop Hate Crime" rally during U-hour on March 9, 2010. The protest was very successful with staff and students involved. Three hours later, University Police answered the call about the latest Hate Crime: an insulting message on a car regarding sexual orientation. The recent activity parallels hate crime action on othef campuses as well. Lt. McManus confirmed that UPD has been in contact with other campuses and at this time there are no similarities.

CSUSM improves to an impressive 13-6-1 this season. Illinois Tech drops to 0-5. In the more competitive game, CSUSM took what seemed to be a safe 5-0 lead in the third inning thanks to a big two-out rally. With nobody on, Kyle Secciani drew a walk, Matt Jenkins ripped a single off thefirstbaseman's glove down therightfieldline, and red-hot Kevin Silvett drove in the first run with a base hit Josh Miller was then hit by a pitch, loading the bases for Ryle Parks, who delivered a huge two-RBI double. Johnny Omahen then hit a ball to second which was booted and subsequently thrown away, allowing Paries and Miller to score to make it 5-0. With Travis McCracken on the mound, the game felt like it was over, but Illinois Tech responded well McCracken ran into trouble in the fourth, due in part to his own error and a seeing-eye swinging bunt single - surrendering four runs and leaving with the bases loaded and one out Hard-throwingrelieverKyle Smart was called on to put out the fire, and he did so brilliantly, striking out two batters to close out the frame. With CSUSM up 5-4, each team threatened to score, but neither could push any more runs across. Ricky Chavarria did an excellent job on the mound for the Cougars, working the final three innings and allowing just one hit He picked up the wellearned save, with Smart getting the win. Game two would feature no such drama, as CSUSM took a commanding 6-0 lead in the bottom of thefirstbefore recording a single out Secciani drew a leadoff walk, and Ricardo Moran and Silvett recorded back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0. After a walk to Miller and single b y. Parks to load the bases, Steve Harris unloaded on a no-doubt-about-it grand slam torightcenter. The hit parade would continue in the second, as Silvett blasted a tworun homer, and Miller followed with a solo shot of his own to make it 9-0. Meanwhile, Brett Miller was in complete control on the mound for CSUSM. He worked four easy innings, striking out six while allowingjust two hits and a walk. The win improves him to 2-0 this season. Secciani singled in a run in the fourth to make it 10-0; and in the fifth, doubles by Jordan Polchow and Mike Pena, along with an Omar Manzanarez sacrifice fly made it 12-0. The shutout was preserved by McClinton Heil, who worked 1 2/3 QnmE7 hitless innings, and rocket-armed shortstop Johnny Omahen, who High Tide: 10:21 AM in his first ever appearance on the Low Tide: 4:17 PM mound threw a scoreless seventh.

Sandberg, Dronenburg, Villalpando lead Softball to Sweep of Biola BY KYLE TREMBLEY On Saturday at CSUSM Softball Field, Brenna Sandberg's pitching and Alyssa Dronenburg's hitting led Cougar softball in game one to a 3-1 victory over Biola University, and Kimi Villalpando's 4 RBI propelled the squad to a come-fiom-behind 6-4 win in game two. The sweep improves #20-ranked CSUSM to 12-6 this season. Biola M s to 12-10. It's a pair ofbig wins over a quality opponentforthe Cougars, who, aside from a lapse in the second inning of game two, looked very good on the day. Game one was dominated by Sandberg, who through six innings had allowed just one baserunner. She ended up going the distance, striking out ten batters while surrendering just one unearned run on two hits and one walk to pick up her 10th win of the season. The offense came from Dronenburg, who led off thefourthinning by lacing a ball over the fence in rightcenter to put her team up 1-0. It's her team-leading sixth home run of the season. From there, CSUSM would pick up an insurance run in the fifth, with Elizabeth Bush scoring on a wild pitchfollowinga base hit and an Alicia Ingram double. The Cougars would tack on another in the sixth, with red-hot Erica Coelho leading off with a single, advancing to third on a Ciera Ashman double, and scoring on a solid Shanti Poston single up the middle. The 3-1 margin would hold, as Sandberg worked through a little trouble in the seventh to preserve the victory. Game two would require some perseverance, but the Cougars rose to the challenge. Biola played small ball in the second, taking advantage of a Cougar defense that committed three errors and made some questionable decisions to take an early 4-0 lead But CSUSM responded immediately, cutting it to 4-3 in the bottom of the frame as Villalpando delivered a big two-RBI single that plated Coelho and Ashman, and Ingram then singled in Villalpando. And in the third, the Cougars would take theirfirstlead of the contest Coelho continued to mash the ball, doubling to lead off the inning. Ashman drew a walk, and a base hit by Poston loaded the bases. That brought up Villalpando again, and once again she knocked a two-RBI single right up the middle to give CSUSM a 5-4 lead That score would hold for most of the contest, as Sandbergrightedthe ship on the mound and the defense settled in. In the bottom of the sixth, Lauren Nelson drilled a solo home run to push the lead to 6-4. Sandberg would finish it off; as Poston made a nice leaping catch at shortstop to record the game's final out Sandberg improves to an impressive 11-3 on the season. CSUSM will be back at home on Saturday to host Bethany University for a double-header starting at noon. Track & Field competes at Point Loma Invitational BY KYLE TREMBLEY A day after the Cougar distance runners competed at the Occidental Distance Carnival, the rest of the team participated in the Point Loma Invitational, hosted by Point Loma Nazarene on Saturday. And for the second straight day, plenty of Cougar athletes punched their tickets to Nationals. On the women's side, the 4x100- meter relay team earned the "A" standard, guaranteeing them a spot at Nationals. The team of Aimee Rassavong, Krystle Osby, Mary Spinharrey, and Monika Valenzuela posted a time of48.48 seconds, good for second place at the meet. The 4x400-meter team got the "A" standard as well. Lucia Asbury, Tiffany West, Osby, and Valenzuela won the event with a time of 3:54.28. Valenzuela also met the "B" standard in the individual 400-meter dash, running 57.67 seconds to win the event.

Huntington Beach offered the competitors decent weather, and 2-4 foot surf on Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday for the final rounds, the wind increased to bring the surf up to a peaky th 5 feet, and made the surf somewhat inconsistent. SDSU was a dominant force that crushed the rest of their competitors in the finals leaving their score at 162. The runner-up UCSB only scored 132. The surfers competing are judged on their best two waves in a given heat of only 15 minutes, so concentration and correct wave choice are key to advancing. Unfortunately luck can be a variable as well. The team didn't fair well in round one. Kailtin Maguire and Mick Rogers were the last surfers on the team competing on Sunday in the semi-finals for the long board division. The long board division is co-ed, and Maguire is the only woman who has been able to break into the final round in previous events. Her rank right now for the conference is 17th with only competing in 3 out of 4 events. Mick Rogers is ranked 6th after competing in all four events. He said, "I started off the event on a positive note, managing to string together a couple of good turns with some nose rides, but on Sunday, due to crappy waves and not performing the best, I couldn't really put it all together." Rogers said that the benefits of being part of the CSUSM surf team are, "To be part of a team, with people that all share similar interests." He said he enjoys "The rivalry of competing against other universities up and down the California coast." Both Rogers and Maguire see surfing as something they can enjoy easily while still making time for school. Maguire said "School is a once in a iifetime opportunity, and you can't really Photo by Mike Rogers rely on surfing to support you in the future. These days it seems that even the best of the pros are struggling to make a life out of surfing." The team represents the school in competitions, but also allows these individuals to be able to do what they enjoy while still planning for their future. Even though the other team members didn't advance into final rounds, the experience of competing will be useful to prepare them for the NSSA National Championships in June, where they will defend their title. Last year, the team won their first National Title for the school in Photo by Mike Rogers a tiebreaker finish against west coast school UNCW. Scott McBride, who took 4th place in the men's short board division at last year's National Championships, will be returning. For women's short boarding, the team has Alexa Thornton, who is ranked a promising 7th out of 63 other competitors. Last year she finished 6th when competing at the high school level. Laura Thatcher and Summer Meyer are contenders as well, ranking in the top 25. The team also has the assistance of their veteran advisor Amber Puha to help them capture the title again. 11 Keep America beautiful for your chance to f o r your favorite club, sorority or charity Earn your degree in I H education in 12-18 months.

BY SARAH GADDIS Pride Staff Writer . , N ews p ise G olf Course Earthquake safety has become increasingly more important with the earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, and more recently on Easter Sunday, a 7.2 earthquake in Baja California, less than 160 miles away from campus. California State University San Marcos is proud of their emergency protocols and earthquake safety procedures are just one of the many plans available to students and staff. The campus has an Emergency Plan that is available online. The plan consists of a list of priorities that safety staff will follow in case of a disaster. The campus, including the University Police, is well prepared for any sort of disaster or natural occurrence. The Police force is very prepared and Lt. McManus made it clear that in the case of a devastating earthquake, University Police would b^ on campus as soon as possible. "The downside to these big disasters is if it is big enough to damage this campus, it is big enough to damage a lot of other stuff ¡p ., See Page 3 I Features H appy Hour "See Page 5 Arts & Entertainment In Theaters I Photo courtesy of Sarah Gaddis Image courtesy of Sequoia Survival Co. around, so the sheriffs are going to be quite tied up." If that were to happen, campus police have an emergency plan that consists of therp calling on back up, whether it is the San Marcos Sheriff's Department or San Diego Police Department. Although, if a big tragedy such as an earthquake was to happen, that might not be the best course of action. Recently, universities have joined together to form the Critical Response Unit. This Unit consists of 1-6 officers from each campus specially trained three to four times a year to be part of this team. The Critical Response Unit is available when the local law e nforcement is not. "Within twenty-four hours, [campus police] will have upwards of about fifty officers on c^mpuê ^ t h a t we're self sufficient and the s heriffs [local law] can deal with their own [situations]," said Lt. McManus. The University Police are Photo courtesy of Sarah Gaddis not the only ones on campus organized for catastrophes. The CSUSM website offers many links to disaster preparedness as well as contact information to Dean Manship, CSUSM's Emergency Manager. Earthquake preparedness measures are just one of the multiple procedures available to students and staff. "Drop, cover, and hold on," is the first rule and the most important. If an earthquake were to happen on campus, the priority would be to protect oneself. If outside, go to a clear area away from trees or buildings and the possibility of having something fall on you. If inside, drop, cover, and hold on until the earthquake is over.

The original DSi First, the most publicized device featured expandable memory and is the iPad. With all due respect, it enhanced Wi-Fi, which the XL is a giant iPod touch. Yet, it is a perfect device for what it does. It is a large, easy to read screen for watching movies, reading, and browsing the web. It is a nice blend of the large interface of a computer and the quick and portable design of the iPod touch. Critics have pointed out the downsides of the product, especially the lack of a tactile keyboard, but this new large device has created its own niche. I do not think it was meant to be a Netbook or tablet. It is essentially away to take in media on the move and the first step towards new capabilities of portable electronics. But there are two other items that also snuck out that are worth mentioning. Nintendo reinvigorated portable gaming once again with the DSi XL and the smart phone company HTC released the HD2, the world's largest touch screen expanded on, thus making it more like a home console. This portable device with the features mirroring an XBOX or PlayStation is a glimpse into the future of video games. Last, there is the HD2 by HTC, which is hard to call a cell phone. Its large, high-resolution screen and Internet capabilities rival early computers. This device dwarfs previous phones that were considered large. The HD2 can do more than make calls and sends texts. Users can browse the full Internet, rent streaming movies from Netflix, and compose Microsoft Word documents. It boasts one of the best processors amongst phones, which makes me think that this is the prelude to an exciting future where people have one device that does everything. All three of these new larger devices could one day come together in a world where people have one device for calls, communication, music, media, and gaming. It seems the days of making devices as small as possible are over. Everything is going to be bigger and more loaded for the next couple of years.

Disc golf, like traditional golf, is a game where the objective is to advance to the target with as few strokes (or throws) possible. Instead of using clubs and a ball, a flying disc is released toward the target which is a standing basket. The sport can be played individually or as a group, CSUSM Campus Recreation, led by Director Hugo Lëcomte, chose construction of the course as its primary project this year. ASI is a student run 501(c)3 organization that oversees many of the student life organizations on campus. "As a University actively engaged in the life of our students and the community we serve, the new disc golf course will serve our goal of making CSUSM a destination location for those seeking a positive environment for recreation," said Lecomte, noting that oncampus recreational activities are contributing factors to student success, providing exercise, opportunities for socializing and a stronger sense of home for students. In addition to recreational use, the course will provide opportunities for both the College of Education and the Kinesiology Department in the College of Arts and Sciences to conduct pedagogical instruction. The no fee course will also be open to community members who can play the course as it winds through campus.

The Tour is attempting to raise more awareness by attempting to bring in legislators, city and state officials, celebrities and others in an attempt to draw more media coverage.

The happiest time on earth: h appy hour BY SANDRA CHALMERS Editor-in-Chief A good drink and an appetizing small bite for less than $10 is music to many stu-, dents' ears. There is no argument that happy hour is the best hour, and here in North County even the smallest joints serve up a good variety of drinks and dishes for an affordable price. liappy hour offers the best ofboth worlds, the ability to try new food and drinks withogitfae remorse ofpáying too much for something that disagreed with your taste palate. Rooking to branch out away from the traditional bar and tavern foods, trying a wine bar with more international delights can satisfy an adventurous craving. Vinz Witie Bar in Escondido introduces their "happiest hours" menu with more that 10 different wine selections for less that $6 a glass. Their wine ranges from Argen- tina, South Africa, Italy and even Sonoma. Bottled domestic beer offered at $2 while imports such as New Castle and Heineken go for $3. Good eats at Vinz range from sweet potato Cajun fries for $3 to German Schlyders for $5, every item on the menu stays below $5. A Yelp reviewer gives Vinz a five star rating noting its cute décor and its varied vine selection. Almost a neighbor to Vinz is Tango Restaurant and Lounge.

The muscle activity (non rapid eye movement) and REM of NREM sleep is low, but the muscles (rapid eye movement)." Bodily systems retain their ability to function." Also, there are other factors associated with NREM and REM sleep for students to consider when approaching these sleeping patterns. One of the main reasons is that student's do not get enough sleep is, that there is simply is not enough time in the day for sleep. Along with time constraints and environment cues, which include light vs. dark, student's sleeping patterns largely affect the type of sleep they are getting. The National Heart and Blood Institute reveals, "Tlie clock directs the rhythmic secretion of hormones, such as melatonin, that influence our sleep cycle. If the biological clock gets out of phase with the environment, various types of sleep problems can result." For students, getting sleep is an important aspect to their health and success for their education. How- ever, sleeping problems are common amongst students with poor sleep patterns and there are many different factors that affect the quality and quantity of sleep students can get. According to the National Heart and Blood Institute, "Poor sleep hygiene and/or biological factors can lead to a variety of sleep disorders such as insomnia, narcolepsy, apnea, and restless legs syndrome." Along with these factors, "Sleep loss has a number of negative impacts on society, including loss of productivity, increased accident rates, increased vehicle crashes, and medical consequences" Sleep proves to be a very important aspect to consider for students, in order to be productive and successful within their classes and lives.

The two athletes, who have both already qualified in multiple events for the NAIA National Championships, continued their b rilliant debut seasons on Saturday against a f ield of teams that included UCSD, Point Loma, Cal Baptist, and others. Campfield won the 1,500 with a time of 3:50.22, while Harbor won the 400meter hurdles with a time of 52.84 seconds. Harbor also took t hird in the 110-meter hurdles at 14.18 seconds. Finishing right behind Campfield in the 1,500 was Dave Edwards, who took second with a time of 3:52.70.

Ashman's late home run earns split against BY KYLE TREMBLEY Ciera Ashman's two-run home run in the sixth inning of game two secured a very hardfought split for CSUSM Softball at home against Azusa Pacific. CSUSM lost first game 4-3 in extras and won the second 2-0. #16-ranked Cal State San Marcos is now 29-11 on the season, while Azusa Pacific is 22-17. After the game one loss, Ashman's late long ball gained extra significance, as this veteran Cougar team once again proved its resilience by bouncing back from a very tough defeat. Azusa Pacific came in to game one with a smart approach against CSUSM ace and NAIA wins leader Brenna Sandberg. As opposed to swinging for the fences, APU worked the count, put the ball in play, and put pressure on the defense, and successfully generated a pair of runs. Down 2-0 in the sixth inning though, CSUSM would rally. With two outs and Alyssa Dronenburg on first, Shanti Poston and Kimi Villalpando hit solid singles, with the latter driving home Dronenburg. The throw home got away from the catcher, and Poston was able to slide home safely with the tying run. The game went to extra innings, where Azusa Pacific took immediate advantage of the international tiebreaker. APU bunted its runner over to third, and a bloop single brought her home. Later in the inning, a two-out double would make it 4-2. CSUSM would not go down quietly though, with Dronenburg leading off with a single to put runners on the corners. A double-steal then brought the run home but cost the Cougars their baserunner; however, Lauren Nelson and Erica Coelho drew back-to-back walks, putting the winning run on base. After a strikeout, an infield pop-up appeared to drop in, but interference was called on Nelson rounding third to end the ballgame. Pitcher Brenna Sandberg went all 8 innings, allowing 3 earned runs on 10 hits. She walked 2 and struck out 5 batters. After that loss - just the third in now 20 games at CSUSM Softball Field - Sandberg and her team needed to rally for game two, and they did. Sandberg was excellent on the mound, surrendering just 4 hits in yet another complete game effort. She walked none and struck . " out 2 batters to improve her record to 27-8 this season.

The benefits are endless for the person who embarks on this great adventure of learning how to surf. Personal health should be important to everybody, and there is no greater way to get into shape than by doing an athletic activity that is more fun than work. MSNBC recently reported on how surfing is not only meditative, but great for the body as well, by presenting the notion that "dedicated surfers accidentally build physiques that health-club acolytes would trade their memberships for." Also appearing in the report was Dr. Mark Renneker, a renowned big-wave rider in San Francisco who recommends surfing to his non-surfing patients who suffer from high blood pressure, repetitive strain injuries, and chemical addictions. Long time suffers are known to refer to surfing's other healing properties, such as expressed in this testimonial of a local surfer, "It [puts] you one with nature, clears your soul of bad vibes, and can make you more humble." For whatever the reason surfing seems appealing, the experience may even create more reasons to be drawn to it, such as the "stoke" of surfing, an indescribable feeling that consumes surfers, causing them to always want more time in the water. A crash course in surfing is best done through instruction, and due west of San Marcos there happen to be two camps that teach children as well as adults for a decent price. Gerry Kantor, surfing since the 60s in the San Diego area, heads Leucadia Surf. His business is very reputable since he requires that all instructors have several water safety certifications, be avid long time surfers, and either be a college graduate or a current college student. The instructors are also thoroughly trained and given specific written guidelines for instruction. Leucadia Surf's set up is on Moonlight Beach, which they boast as having "[some] of the best beginner waves in San Diego." Depending on if the participant wants one on one instruction or group, the cost can range from $60 to $120 for a two-hour session. The lesson also includes the use of a board and wetsuit. Another surf camp located close by is So Cal Surf Lessons, conducted at North Carlsbad State Beach, Frazee. Rusty Friesen, a pro surfer, established this instructional surf business, which follows similar guide- lines as Leucadia Surf, in the summer of 2004. They are a little cheaper, providing lessons in the $55 to $95 range, including a free hour of board rental for students after their lesson. If a beginner would rather take on surfing on their own, they can also rent boards for $8 an hour or $30 for a day, and wetsuiis for $5 an hour or $20 a day from the establishment, So Cal Surf Lessons. The surf shop, Progression Surf, located on the coast highway in Leucadia rents out soft boards at $20 a day, and $40 for a hard board for the day. The only complication may be transporting it to the be&ch. If beginners try to brave this sport on their own, they should acquire a longboard because it will be easier to stand up on, obtain a few helpful tips, and have the ability to swim well. It sounds funny, but the best way to learn to pop up on the board is by practicing on the beach. Put the board on the sand, and then lay on it. Next, place the hands on the board underneath your shoulders as if doing a push up, then push up, and slip the feet separated onto the middle of the board, in a semi-crouched, and sideways stance. < Once the pop-up is perfected the next big feat is to make it out to the waves. The perfect paddling power comes from correct balance on the board, and alternating arms rapidly. Getting through the waves can be chal- the nose of the board digs into lenging, but the more momen- the water.

L earning a ffective strategies in how to search for an apartment, condominium, or house t o live in could qiake any students l ife a little easier in a high-stress atmosphere. Most students have the challenging aspect of moving when they are accepted to college, while others students do not change t heir living arrangements. Here at CSUSM we have a wide variety of students living on campus, living o ff campus, and commuting f rom large distances away. Whatever a student's living arrangements are within college it is something that changes while students advance into adulthood. DO: Plan ahead, details are important According to apart- mentreviews.net one of the f irst things students can do is get an idea of what t ype of place they are interested in, having a backyard, t ypes of f looring, washer/dryer included, pets or no pets, how many bathrooms, garage space and the list could be endless. Understanding that each detail uncovered could make the search easier or more d ifficult depending on if the requirements are available. Once they have their requirements in mind, searching for numerous places, either online or in the local newspaper is key to f inding the right place. DO: Schedule a walk through Apartmentreviews.net also suggests that once a few places have been selected, students should contact the landlord or leasing agency in order to schedule a walk-through. Finding a place that matches all the desired emminites students before commit-, ting should invest in doing a care- ful walk through to look or r epairs, improvements and questions about the location. C ertain apartment complexes have noise r estrictions, p arking restrictions, and other regulations that students should investigate during the walk through. DON'T: Don't be shy to ask questions Most a partments required at least a six to 12 month lease, so asking questions early before committing will be a b enefit so there are no s urprise f ees or c onfusion on the lease agreement. DON'T: Don't forget to bring important documents Bringing things like a credit check, resume, or pay stubs/ tax r eturns are documents generally asked for. A fter giving documents like t his to a landlord or leasing agents it helps to be prepared. Many landlords/ leasing agents will want to v erify a s tudent's references so calling these references beforehand i nforming them of these incoming calls could b enefit a s tudent's success while searching. A s s tudents, many of us may not have a long enough or good enough credit h istory to b e a sole signer to an a partment, a co-signer may be required, so investigate credit h istory and t alk to p arents or close f riends about having a possible co-signer. DO: Talk to the neighbors Sometimes the realitor or landlord really j ust wants to push the sale, getting an unbias opinion really matters when c ommitting to the possible perfect place and t alking to the neighbors o ffers a second opinion about the neighborhood. Apartmentreview5.net recommends that m eeting the neighbors is an aspect a student must consider, since sharing walls w ith neighbors may a ffect a s tudent's living choices. When talking to neighbors, students can f ind out about how neighbors feel about noise, if they are f riendly, and what they like about the neighborhood.

CSUSM is now 32-12 on the year. Point Loma is 24-12. As is o ften the case when top-15 t eams play, pitching was the story. N AIA w ins leader Brenna Sandberg was on her game and on the mound for all 15 innings on Saturday. She was particularly brilliant in game one, tossing a 2-hit, 11-strikeout, complete game 8 -inning shutout to once again out-duel PLNU A ll-American Tyler Lent. Both pitchers allowed j ust one hit in the regulation seven i nnings, sending the contest to extras. With Lauren Nelson placed on second in the t op of the eighth, Shanti Poston delivered the hit of the ballgame, doubling to l eft-center to score the g ame's first r un. I n the bottom of the i nning, center fielder Elizabeth Bush caught a line drive and alertly doubled o ff the r unner at second to e ffectively end Point L oma's chances. The w in makes Sandberg t he first-ever 30-game w inner for CSUSM s oftball, and the first N AIA pitcher t his season t o reach 30. In game two, Point Loma scored in the first i nning on a double-steal and was able to hold the lead f or all seven innings. Sandberg c ertainly kept her t eam in the game, locking down the Sea L ions' o ffense and allowing j ust 3 h its and 1 w alk. She struck out t wo batters. CSUSM h ad its chances, recording 5 hits and drawing 3 walks, but Sea Lions s tarter H annah Faria worked t hrough it to complete t he shutout. Nelson had two h its in the losing e ffort. W hile Point Loma is one of t he best t eams in the N AIA, the C ougars w ill get another shot against the absolute best in the N AIA on Tuesday at Cal Baptist.

XXIII N O. 10 S candal a t C SU Stanislaus raises concern o ver a n upcoming Palin a ppearance BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor | S ; See Page 4 CougarJobs A new chapter has opened in the scandal at GSU Stanislaus as • administrators now face allegations of corruption over the destruction of documents pertaining to an upcoming visit by Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and Republican Vice Presidential nominee. At the center of the scandal is the CSU Stanislaus Foundation, which has refused to make public information about the visit in spite of a drawn out campaign by California State Senator Leland Yee to publicize Palin's speaking fee. The CSU Stanislaus Foundation plans to host a private gala in June with Palin as its keynote speaker. According to the Foundation, the event will serve as a fundraiser for the CSU Stanislaus campus. The controversy mainly centers on the foundation's status as 501c3 auxiliary organization, a privately funded non-profit entity that would not normally be required to reveal private information to the public. CSU Stanislaus has upheld a recent decision to withold the release of the information, citing a clause in the contract with Palin that prohibits disclosure of information relating to the visit. Californians Aware, a nonprofit government transparency Image courtesy of Propeller.com advocacy group based in Sacramento, filed suit against the school last week, claiming the overlapping duties of taxpayer funded administrators in overseeing the foundation make it subject to public disclosure laws. The documents were turned over to the the office of the Attorney General and an investigation on the matter has been opened. On April 9, students were alerted to potentially suspicious activity when several administrators cars were seen parked on campus during a furlough day. Two students, Alicia Lewis and Ashley Briggs, reportedly witnessed activity inside a closed building and saw a student disposing of garbage in one of the dumpsters outside. The two were among several students that had been actively searching dumpsters for documents pertaining to the visit by Palin. Upon searching the dumpster, the students found the files shredded among other university paperwork. Responding to the findings, Senator Yee. said, "It is truly shocking and a gross violation of die public trust that such documents would be thrown away and destroyed during a pending investigation." Earlier this month, CSU Stanislaus denied a request by Senator Yee that documents pertaining to Palin's visit be made public, with its compliance officer stating, "the University has no documents that are responsive to See Palin, Page 3 Abortion topic furthers conversation on campus Associated Students Inc. hosts first ever C SUSM d ebate BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer See Page 5 ^ rts & Entertainment * Poetry Reading See Page 7 Associated Students Inc. hosted their first live debate on the topic of abortion on April 20. The debate took place in Arts 240 on campus during University Hour, allowing all students the opportunity to come. Students who attended the debate received free pizza to watch as author and pro-life speaker Alan Shlemon and CSUSM Women's Studies Professor Cecili Chadwick explored this controversial topic. Each speaker had 10 minutes to make their argument, followed by five minutes each for rebuttal and five minutes for closing statements. Each speaker received prior notice of how long he or she had left, such as five minutes and one minute. The audience was to remain quite during speeches and only react after a speech has finished. Pro-life speaker Alan Shlemon spoke first about abortion and why he feels it should be illegal. Professor Chadwick countered this with her views of why abortion should remain legal. "Abortion is wrong because it kills an innocent human being. So what I've done is argue the question 'What is the unborn?' And I've said, look, if the unborn is not a human being then it doesn't matter whether you have the abortion, go ahead have the abortion. "But if you ask the question... and it turns out to be a human being like you and me, then abortion is killing an innocent human being and that's what's wrong," said Shlemon when asked about his views after the debate. Professor Chadwick is pro- choice and feels this type of decision is down to the individual. "Abortion should be legal because the state should not be involved ifi decisions about what women can and can't do with their bodies. It is widely documented that state interventionism is an inappropriate and ineffective way to reduce the number of abortions in this country," she said after the debate. She also feels this topic needs to be discussed less in public. See ASI, Page 3 Looking to get involved with school, experience to add to your resume, or an extra job?

In one of the rarest events in the technology world, internet users found pictures of the fourth version of the iPhone online last week Apple has a reputation for not revealing it's products early or giving sneak peaks, but pictures of their new device ended up Gizmodo.com after an alleged employee misplaced a test model in a Silicon Valley bar. Given Apple's repumm^ tation, this could have imgf been an accident, and very bad news for the person who lost the phone. If it was an actual model of the new iPhone, I think this was done on purpose. Just as some studios "leak" copies of movies to create online buzz, I think Apple misplaced the phone to gain viral interest.

I think Apple leaked the phone to get smartphone users to wait on their new model. The look of the phone is also very different from the previous three incarnations of the iPhone. This means customers will need to buy new cases and accessories if they want to protect their device. This leak gives third party companies a chance to have these accessories available on the release day of the new iPhone. While there are plenty of new Image courtesy ofghmodo.com specs to discuss on the new model, which can be found all over tech websites, the most important factor that people found on the leaked model was the microSIM card. Most phone companies around the world use the standard SIM card to provide a phone with its number and give it service with a provider. The use of the microSIM means hackers cannot unlock the new iPhone to work on other networks that use SIM card, such as T-Mobile. This also means that Apple will stay with AT&T as sole carrier of the iPhone in the US. f I think this also debunks any rumors that the iPhone will go to Verizon. Tech critics and bloggers have bashed Apple's partnership with AT&T. The demand of the iPhone has strained the AT&T network, but it appears the fourth version„will s taj with the same carrier.

The discovery of the shredded documents following a denial by the administration that such documents existed has raised questions as to whether or not the destruction of the documents was intentional. Senator Yee has been at the forefront of an effort to make CSU operationgs subject to greater oversight, specifically targeting 501c3 foundations found at CSU campuses. "Found within the same files as regular university business were financial statements and documents of the CSU Stanislaus Foundation demonstrating From ASI, page 1 She said, "The fetus and the woman are one person and that one person is the woman. In order to give women control of their bodies we need to stop using them as a battleground for this debate and allow all decisions about their bodies to be made at their discretion." During the debate, both speakers were able to agree that they wanted fewer abortions but differed in how that is accomplished. Alan Shlemon wants fewer abortions because that will mean less "innocent" human beings from dying. Professor Chadwick wants religious restrictions on contraception lifted and women that the foundation is operated by taxpayer-funded employees within the university itself," said Yee. How can they possibly claim that no tax dollars are being used for the Palin event when state employees are called in on their furlough day to help avoid public scrutiny?" Though the precise fee for the visit could not be determined from the confidential documents, Senator Yee and others estimate it could be as high as $100,000. The documents did reveal several other stipulations, however, including first class airfare and luxury accomodations for Palin. CSU Stanislaus President responded to the allegations, educated better about sex. They also both agreed that abortion is acceptable when it threatens the mother's life; this means a without an abortion, the mother will die and the unborn as well. The debate finished with audience members' questions asked to the speakers who had roughly one minute to respond. Alan Shlemon was asked about his views on abortion in the case of rape. He responded by saying rape was not a justification for abortion as a small child conceived through rape would not be killed after it was born, so he wonders why an unborn should be killed as they are the same. The debate ran in a civilized manner. The speakers mostly kept to their time limits and the saying, "we welcome the investigation and Expect it will clarify how a foundation document could have ended up in a state senator's hands " Issuing a statement on behalf of the foundation, President Matt Swanson said, "It's a dark day when an entity that's sole purpose I A p i i t p ^ m 9 a.m.-ll:30 a.m. is to raise money for student k AV&gtte student's fPpd services and university programs ^ ^ K ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ R ^ a n d 11:30 is falsely accused of wrong-doing. ja.rh. on the 17 and 18.

"I thought of doing a debate the moment I was told that the event that I was required to host didn't have to be just another meet-and-greet," she said. On the topic of abortion, she said, "We chose abortion for many reasons. It is a very important t opicjo many people. It was suggested by students." There will be more debates to come, although when and on what topic unclear, future discussions could include the topics of gay marriage and lowering the legal drinking age, according to Schmidt. $ij|WPD, meaning both giWitif^ a | j | e thlWhey are b otl|i|^|pti April I f 11 p.m. . „ j ^ S X ^ UPD officer stopped j naf|j iir ttWijit^; Sohnwn Ihe tm^lc his glov^ boi flip •.

The student can be recorded for the price of three-dollar, the cost of the DVD, so that the counselor can coach them on how to improve their conduct, and content for their actual interview. The counselors will tailor the mock interview to specifically fit the student's needs, such as if they were interviewing for a teaching credential, graduate school, or a particular job. The interviewee should not only research the company and the position they are applying for, but also themselves. The United States Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook lists under preparation, that the interviewee should "Be ready to answer broad questions, such as 'Why should I hire you?' 'Why do you want this job?' 'What are your strengths and weakness?'" Pam Wells suggests that the student should take the time to write out at least 10 adjectives that a supervisor would use to describe them, as well as writing down strengths with specific examples. The Occupational Outlook Handbook also suggests asking questions about the position and the organization while avoiding questions involving salary or benefits of the job. Pam Wells' statement concerning researching, was that "There is so much information out their, if you don't get as much information as you can about the company, about the program, about the specific job, it translates to your not that interested in that position." By analyzing the job description the inter-, viewee can also better tailor their interview questions and examples for that particular job. When it comes down to the interview, as stated by the Career Guide provided by CSUSM, the introduction is very significant because it "establishes a rapport between you and the interviewer.. .it proImage Courtesy of thejobexplorer.com vides, jthe interviewer with a first impres- the interview is by taking advantage of the mock interview program at the Career Center here on CSUSM campus in Craven A lackluster interview can cause some Hall.

If a student wants to partake in a mock to organize their thoughts and practice for sion through your appearance, manner, and personal energy^ The interviewee should give a strong handshake; make eye contact, and politely addressing the interviewer while using proper English. It is important that the interviewee be energetic. Pam Wells suggests that if the interviewee has the opportunity to pick their interview time, they should schedule it for when they're at their best. If they are a morning person then they should try to have the interview then. Proper attire can be crucial to an interview even if the job they are applying for only requires casual attire. CSUSM's Career Guide makes an insightful statement, "Remember, appearance is not just the clothing, but how you handle yourself." The interviewee should wear professional attire with no extreme colors, and shy away f rom extravagant jewelry or hairstyles because the interview is not about making a fashion statement. For interviewees unsure of what to wear, Pam Wells suggested that they should dress better than what the interviewers would expect in order to make a good impression. Students of CSUSM have a great opportunity to improve their interviewing abilities by going to the event held by the CSUSM Career Center on May 20 called "So You've Graduated Now W hat" at the Clarke Grand Salon from 8:30 to 1:30. At this event an alumni panel will talk about their careers, and give advice to students. Recruiters will discuss the job market in this present tough economy, and give interviewing tips. Students who graduated in December or w ill b e i n May can take advantage of this event through reserving a spot by giving the Career Center a refundable check of $10. Students can still receive f ree Career Center services for three months a fter they graduate, and for only $25 a month a fter that, insuring student's success well into the future.

Tanning has b een around f or years and will continue to b e a summer activity for many years to come, but b ringing awareness to the e ffects of soaking up those rays is essential to any f uture tanner. Many aim to achieve a healthy glow each summer, but the t ruth is that the skin's reaction to sunlight and producing a bronze tan is the skins own n atural defense mechanism against sun damage. Producing natural Melanin, the dark hue in sun drenched skin, is in e ffort to p rotect the skin f rom Ultra Violet (UV) rays. It i s common knowledge that UV rays are h armful, but the issue is quickly forgotten in favor of the skin tone that is p erfect for summer clothes. Alternatives to U V tanning beds and outdoor t anning are easy, quick and better for your skin. . Exposure to the sun can cause many r isks to our bodies that many people are still unaware of. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services over exposure to the sun can result in premature aging, skin cancer, eye damage, and immune system suppression. Later in life, sunspots and age spots can appear giving skin an uneven tone that o ften worsens with age. Tanning beds have also become a f requent activity because of their accessibility and rapid results, but in tanning beds are also a danger for our skin, and have required certain states to impose an 18 and u p restriction for tanning bed usage. According to MSNBC, recent results f rom a study done by the World Health Organization might be j ust the incentive that the FDA needs to ban tanning beds for those under 18. The risks are very real and because none of them are fast acting, many people disregard them. Skin cancer can be considered the most feared result of tanning. Dr. William James, president of the American Academy of Dermatology Association stated that, " What was formerly considered a disease of older men is ballooning in young women, the very target audience and number one customer of the tanning industry." Even though the risks are great in the most common way of getting that summer glow, don't b e discouraged, there are many other methods that are j ust as convenient without the h armful side effects. Spray on tanning has become more and more popular in the last couple of years and the popularity is widely due to the fact that with this method the perfect tan can be achieved all year long. Tanning Salons are popping up all over San Diego and the results are the same, Image Courtesy of Hoobly.com if not better than laying out for hours. Spray on tans now come in a bottle as well and are easily found in any convenience or beauty store.

C S U S M wins R ecycleMania 2 010 a s expected How our campus keeps up with going green trends BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer CSUSM won the national " Grand C hampion" title in a 10 Week recycling competition*: Recycle M ania, which took place f rom January 17 t o M arch 27 of this year. The title of "Grand Champion" goes to the school with the highest percentage of waste recycled on campus. CSUSM beat out over 600 university competitors f rom the United States, Canada, and as f ar away as Qatar to w in the honor with a 71.82 percent recycle rate. A trophy, for the victory can b e seen at the Big Cat Food C ourt on campus. " Our campus was created with recycling in m ind," said Carl Hanson, Recycle Mania leader and the recycling program coordinator on campus. Hanson mentioned the early developed of our campus, growing u p in the early 90s when the start of environmental issues were j ust becoming a growing concern. "We have evolved a great waste diversion system on this campus, it [recycling] was h ere f rom the beginning a nd soon became a p art of our culture." Students involvement make a d ifference, through raising awareness and other leadership e fforts felt throughout campus. "While students come and go, it is their increasing enthusiasm, especially with the rise of the "Green Revolution," which gives the program its energy. There have also been outstanding individual-student leaders over the years that have made a difference," continued Hanson. Hanson feels that CSUSM has always had an advantage over other campuses for the w inning Recycle Mania because it is the e ffort that our campus makes all year long and not only during the Recycle Mania contest. Recycle Mania 2010 January 17th-March 27th " Our recycling rate numbers are consistently high, so we don't have to really 'gear u p' for the 10 week competition each January." w CSUSM has proven to be a leader in recycling because "going-green" is important to faculty, s taff, and students. The f uture for recycling at CSUSM looks promising and the title helps set our campus as a model for other universities to improve recycling e fforts. Other ideas that our waste management division system team is working on for f uture development includes working with food services to increase recyclable, reusable and compostable products, according to Hanson. The team is also looking into developing s food composting program on campus. As a continuous leader in recycling, it becomes a trademark that our campus Image Courtesy of weekly.blog.gustavus.edu community cares about their environmental impact in our community and each make a conscience e ffort to help our environment.

CSUSM closes out its most successful season to date with a 31-13-1 record. Azusa is 17-28 with three games remaining. Prior to the game, CSUSM honored its seniors playing the final home game of their careers: Omar Manzanarez, Ricardo Moran, Chris Skaalen, Travis McCracken, Josh Miller, Mike Pena, McClinton Heil, and Eric Julienne. And on the field, the Cougars, led by those seniors, did their family, friends, and fans proud with an excellent effort to earn a hard-fought win. It started on the mound with McCracken, who was in f ull control for his six f ull innings of work. He allowed six hits and three walks while striking out two, with the only blemish on his record being a two-run second inning. He earned the win to finish the season 7-4.

An event Sunday, April 25 at the Georgia Cole Library near downtown Carlsbad was devoted to presenting pieces from mystic poets, Hafiz, Dickinson, and Rumi. The five poets presenting works from these writers were Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes, Jill Moses, Brandon Cesmat, Shadab Zeest Hashmi, and Jon Wesick. The poets presenting these works are part of the organization Magee Park Poets, which was started in 1989 by a group of aspiring poets who gathered in Carlsbad's Magee Park. The presenter Brandon Cesmat, a creative writing teacher here at CSUSM, reflected on how events, such as the one Magee Park Poets organized, are vital for student writers because "it's important for students to understand their heritage, and the community that's here." The reading was opened by Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes reading Hafiz's "The Vintage Man" using steady pronunciation and eye contact, which drove the message into the audience's soul. Hafiz has already stimulated so many poets, such as Emerson who stated, "Hafiz is a poet for poets...He fears nothing, he sees too far, he sees throughout.:." The manner in which Heidrick-Barnes presented the piece allowed the audience time to reflect and interpret the piece as i t moved along. The presentation of this piece made Cesmat's commented on how "hearing pieces read out loud can actually increase the brains engagement" seem completely evident. Another highlight of the reading was the poem "Death" by Emily Dickinson, presented by Jill Moses, which revealed the main theme of mortality, which can be seen in works of all the poets being presented at the event. Cesmat followed by adding movement while he Photo by Mallane Dressel ^ A N T Photo by Mallane Dressel read the poem "The Music We Are" by Rumi. His performance of whirling around in circles across the room emphasized the lost meaning presented in the poem. Cesmat explained how Rumi "inspires people to think past barriers, for example the l ine...The anemones blush because they have seen the rose naked'.. .This idea of not being divided sea to sky, land to sea. He thinks expansively because he's not held back by borders." Cesmat originally started his writing career as a journalist, and changed to creative writing after earning his MFA from San Diego State University. He has won San Diego Book Awards in both poetry andfiction.He looks forward to reading at Grossmont College where they have been analyzing his first book, "Driven into the Shade." He is editing a second edition for Classrooms of Poets established by CPITS, California Poets in the Schools. Through this organization, he developed the program Laureates in Training, a program that recognizes student poets devoted to the poetry writing process, and poetry in the community. After the presentation of the pieces by the mystic poets, the floor was open for whoever wanted to share a poem.

By expanding their audience to people outside of the Magee Park Poets, they will be encouraging younger and unknown writers to recognize poets that should have a profound affect on their writing. This would also cause the Magee Park Poets to possibly be exposed to more diverse poetry, allowing them to manipulate their writing to even greater heights because one of the best ways a poet can learn is by studying their peers' poetry. ^ Are you looking to get more involved? Looking for a few e xtra units? Want something to add to your resume? U Karp shared her piece called "Rumi's Place" from her published book of poetry "Innerscapes," inspired by the way Rumi has the ability to describe the indescribable.

On May ! , students joined hundreds of their fellow community members for a 24-hour long walkathon on Mangrum Field with the sole aim of raising awareness for cancer related issues. Participants in Relay for Life formed teams that were responsible for seeking donations and keeping at least one member walking the track at all times. The event was just one of many events like it to take place across the nation. The 55 teams that registered for the event comprised a broad spectrum of interests, bringing together CSUSM student organizations, community groups, local businesses, families, and interested individuals from nearby neighborhoods for a single cause. Though all teams were involved in fundraising efforts, members of The Defending Circle distinguished themselves from the rest by raising $11, 320.

In this, my final piece, I want to share what I learned from writing and living because I have figured out the secret of life and the point of our existence. I have heard the question of our existence asked in books, movies, songs, and daily life. I think I figured out the answer to this divine question. The secret to a happy and whole life is love. This might sound like a cheesy or naive answer, but I think I need to spell it out because so many people are missing it. A human being has roughly 70 to 80 years to live, and that is all. Aware of my mortality, I try not to waste any of the time I have. I direct my effort to doing what I like. Going to school might not be the funnest thing, but it is only as bad as you make it. It is tough now, but I am excited for the job I will have once I finish. At my part time job now, sometimes it feels like I'm watching the clock counting down the hours until I can go home. This is counter productive though, because I am just counting down the hours of my life, which are limited. This is where love comes in.

If you cannot find some pleasure in your job, quit. There is no point to wasting your time on something you do not like, even for a paycheck. In the end, it does not matter how much money you have, because whether you believe in heaven or not, you cannot take your earnings with you. Spend as much time with your family and friends and I promise you will be happier. It is a simple answer, but it is the best one I have found. Capitalism, consumerism, and petty differences distract people from this truth. The Beatles had it right decades ago. All you need is love.

Windows 7 will grant quicker access t o. files, allow users to manage open windows easier and connect to wireless networks better. System sleep and resume is faster as well as a longer battery life and improved security, according to Instructional & Information Technology Seryices (IITS). For more information on Windows 7 and how to use it, visit http://www.csusm.edu/iits/ support/win7/. IITS has tested Windows 7 with all the applications that the campus uses. Some faculty and staff are currently testing Windows 7 to give more feedback in order to make sure the system is reliable for the whole campus to use. CSUSM switched from Windows XP to Windows Vista last year due to the declining support from Microsoft for XP. By moving to Windows Vista, IITS was able to test whether the transition to Windows 7 was achievable. IITS has said that the Windows 7 user interface will be intuitive and easy to use as it is very similar to Windows Vista.

G oodbye America Experiences of Studying Abroad BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer Coming to America is something that I think most people outside of this country dream of doing one day and for most people they can only spend around two weeks here. I have been fortunate enough to live in Southern California for a full academic year and this has been an amazing experience. Over the course of the year I have noticed many differences, many similarities, taught people a few things about the UK and learnt a lot about America as well. Unless someone comes here, it is hard to imagine how spread out and big everything is out here, America could fit the UK in its back pocket and carry it around. The reliance on a car is a major aspect of living here that I noticed; in the UK, people can just about get away with not having a car due to the public transport system. In the US, the public transport system is not as developed and structured, which makes the car a necessity to get anywhere. I have felt limited sometimes with the lack of access to a car but many people have driven me places over the year, which I appreciate. I think Americans and British people will always have some sort of connection, because of our history together and through the language we speak, to only mention two examples. I have yet to hear a good fake British accent while I have been out here and believe me I've heard many attempts at it. I still believe that we are not supposed to do each other's accents, I can't do an American accent and many people have convinced me to try and do so. Studying abroad makes you feel unique, there is only one other British person here at CSUSM and it is nice to think that other people find where you come from interesting. Many people have asked me all about the UK, from the place itself to the people and I have enjoyed answering those questions. It took me a while to adapt to the different style of education here, there is a lot more work to do over here I think. There is a constant amount of work as the semesters are so short whereas in England, the course spreads itself out over the year and for me personally there were less little assignments to do every week. I found it strange the system used here to apply for classes, the waiting for the registration date to come and the stress of hoping the classes don't fill up and I have only done a year here. I do not think group work should be done on this campus, people have too many different schedules and live far away from each other and also have jobs as well. If a group is given class time to complete an assignment or each member can individually work on a part at home then it can be done but I don't think it should be done here. The quality of education has been high from my point of view, especially since the teachers have had to deal with wholefiascowith the furlough days. I have met some great people while I have been out here, many people that I will remain in contact with for a long time to come. One of the great things about studying abroad is I have developed connections and that will allow me to come back here many more times. Although I am looking forward to going back home and seeing my family and friends, I will definitely miss this place, the experience, the people and the place are something I will never forget. If there is one thing anyone reading this article should take away it is to try and study abroad somewhere because it will literally change your life for the better. Goodbye America and thanks for having me. CALLING ALL W RITERS !

After two years as your Business Manager, it is time for me t o pass the torch on to someone else (still looking for someone to take that honor). It really has been an amazing experience and I can't tell you how much real world experience it has given me, not to mention I've gotten to know some really great people that I would have otherwise probably never met since they are outside my major. Shamelessly promoting? Yes. But it's all true. It seems like it took me forever to get to this point, six years, a major change, transfers from two community colleges, moving, a last name change (thanks Rudy), and over 200 credits later, I've arrived. Graduation is less than two weeks away and then I am moving on into the unknown. It took me six years to graduate, even with college credits before I started thanks to AP exams, going to school full-time (12 units), and never having to retake a course. My point for sharing this with you all? To not allow yourselves to get discouraged from reaching your goal, no matter the path or how long it takes you to get there. I can't even begin to put into the words the joy that I feel and how great it feels to be the first one in my family to graduate from college. The truth is that when I started at California State University San Marcos back in Fall of 2007,1 was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of "catching up" I had to do since I changed my major to Business. I remember thinking, "Wow, another three years of college. Am I ever going to graduate?" But now, looking back I am glad that I was able to spend three years here. Not only did I make some really great friends, but I also got to know many faculty and staff (thanks to Starbucks), and I have learned far more than I could have dreamed (thanks to my amazing professors). So enjoy your time here, because in aflashyou will be sitting here in this same place about to graduate and reminiscing of your time spent here. My first advice? Get involved. I know it is cliché and you hear it a lot from the moment you step foot in orientation (thanks to O-team), but it really does make the experience you have here. An added bonus? You will get to know some pretty amazing people along the way and with so many different ways to get involved there really is no excuse not to. My second advice? Find a mentor. It really makes all the difference in the world to have someone to talk to and give you advice, especially when that person is someone you admire and respect. Third advice? Write at least one article for The Pride Student Newspaper. Even if it is just an opinion piece about something you are passionate about. It feels good to see your name attached to a piece of published work. Fourth advice? If you have room for it in your schedule, take a class to learn something you have always wanted to learn. It's very rewarding when you finally are able to do something that you maybe thought you would never be able to do. For me, it was Photoshop. Fifth advice? Every day I read a quote that hangs on my wall by Sally Hass, "Dream Big. Work Hard. Smile Often. And Good Things will Happen." The truth is, college is not designed to be easy. If you shortcut your classes, in the end you are only shortcutting yourself. Last but not least... find some time for mental breaks. For me, it was my Disneyland Annual Pass and my favorite TV shows. They are essential in keeping yourself from becoming overwhelmed or burned out. Without my grandparents, my boyfriend turned fiancé turned husband Rudy (who will walk by my side at Graduation), my best friend Jackie, my professors, and my faculty mentor, I might not have Photo by Mari Hinojosa reached this point with as much success as I have. Thank you, I will be eternally grateful for the rest of my life. To the rest of you, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and I leave you with one last thought.. ."Life is made up of moments, thank you for being a part of mine." Class of 2010, we did it. G oodbye from the Layout Editor BY RUDY MARTINEZ Layout Editor "Two f ish are in a t ank, one t urns to the other and says 'how do you drive this t hing?'" I 've been in college for the better p art of a decade. I 've been through six d ifferent j obs, three degree changes, moved three d ifferent places, obtained an AAS in Psychology, and re-met the woman who would end up my wife (who knew?). Last semester alone I took 18 u nits, worked two j obs, and helped plan my wedding. This semester my team and I have worked tirelessly on our Senior Experience project, which consumed my l ife, on top of classes and work. However, without the help and support of some awesome people that I have surrounded myself with, I probably would never have been able to get through it all. The time has come for me to say "so long and thanks for all the sleepless nights CSUSM." It may be cliché to say that I thought the day would never come. But now graduation is slapping me in the face, and I cannot wait. If I had the opportunity to do it all over again at ^ different university, I would respectfully decline. Cai State San Marcos has some of the best professors I 've had the pleasure of learning from. I can honestly say that my stay here at CSUSM has f ully prepared me to enter the "real world," and I don't mean the horrible show on MTV. From the job experience I've gained f rom working in IITS to the Career Development class taught by David Bennett, I feel confident in taking the leap f rom student to professional. My advice, f ind your passion and stick with it. It doesn't feel like a job if you love what you're doing. I can honestly say that I love both my jobs that I have had here on campus. I was lucky enough to hear several top executives speak in the In The Executives Chair course, most of which talked about how they are passionate about their job. Networking is also very important, with the help of my wife, K ristina, she helped me get my j ob in IITS. Her best f riend, Jackie Carbajal, who was the prior Editor-in-Chief, was a writer when she referred me to help out with the layout. Today, who you know plays j ust as important of a role as what you know. It may have been a long road, but the experiences that I have gained f rom it are priceless.

Danny Leiner, most recognized for d irecting comedy f ilms such as Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) as well as directing episodes of Felicity, Sopranos and the series Arrested Development. X iener's gave the students an i nsightful straightforward look into the media business, while also entertaining his audience. "I wanted to see how he found his way through the media business, and to learn about directing f ilms," said student Nicholas Espinoza. The lecture started with a presentation of a clip from Leiner's work, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, a scene where Kumar experiences a dream sequence with a bag of Marijuana, that then becomes his g irlfriend. This scene opened up questions about storyboarding, a f rameby-frame depiction of what the director will shoot. "That sequence I did not storyboard, I t ry to save the story boarding for complicated action sequences," said Leiner, but he also conveyed to the students how helpful storyboards can be when on location. The next presentation was of several commercials, which included clips of the popular Free Credit Report.com musical commercials and the Jack Links Jerky commercials about messing with Sasquatch. These commercials by Leiner display his comedic talents in different mediums of media. Leiner went on to state that throwing a lot of money into a project helps develop and tell stories, especially concerning commercials he continued to explain that a lack of money restricts the ability to formulate stories ideas into action. Inspired student, Espinoza was impressed on how Leiner could easily add humor to everyday living. "How he f inds a way to make a simple idea into something hilarious and funny." Since this portion of the industry is so popular, Leiner went into great detail about how the industry is supper competitive, and how a director must create opportunity for themselves. While discussing his transition from movies to commercials and sitcoms, Leiner commented on how changing to d ifferent media's allows him to stay artistically f resh. When doing an episode for Sopranos, he articulated the intricacies involved in expressing a director's style while still honoring the specifics already put into place. "I always hope that a little of my style comes through, I keep within the frame, but then visually bring in something a little comedy wise," said Leiner. In a scene from Dude, Where's My Car? the main characters played by Ashton Kutcher, and Seann William Scott discover that they both got tattoos a fter drinking heavily the night before was presented to show Leiner's comedic delivery. Image courtesy of Cinemarx The scene goes back and forth between the characters repeating most of the same words, "dude" and "sweet." Leiner expressed how scenes like these are d ifficult to execute, but to insure success he takes a lot of takes and is very involved in the editing process because he believes "comedies live or die in editing." Liener revealed a sneak peek of his most recent work movie "Backwash," written by and staring Josh Malina. The movie follows the journey of three oddball losers in an ice cream truck in the format of a thirteen web episodes.

Crowds of diejoin the cast adaptation, but this film's slick hard fans that made the earlier films box office hits will return to the cinemas for the continuation ofthe story about a girl torn between vampirelike and werewolf-like groups. The Last Airbender James Cameron forced this adaptation of the Cartoon Network show "Avatar" to change it's name. This story about warriors with elemental powers is a departure for the thriller-sawy director M. Night Shyamalan. After flopping with consecutive films, including "The Happening," this might be a major career change. July 9th Despicable Me DreamWorks, who already had success with "How to Train Your Dragon" this year, is releasing another film, in addition to the fourth S Shrekfilm,to compete the with the DisneyPixar hit machine. This animated story features the voice of Steve Carell and his quest to become the most notorious criminal caper.

July 16th Inception Director Christopher Nolan's last film was also a summer release. It was called "The Dark Knight," and it did pretty well at the box office. This reality-bending thriller appears to be a return to the style he executed in his earlier work, such as "Memento." July 23rd Dinner for Schmucks This comedy starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd will be this summer's equivalent to "The Hangover." In this remake of "The Dinner Game," Rudd plays a whitecollar worker who brings the dimwitted Carell to a dinner party where his sadistic co-workers play games with their guests. August 6th The Other Guys Though another buddy cop film, "Cop Out,"floppedthis year, Will Ferrel and Mark Wahlberg hope to reel in laughs in this comedy. The duo a play a mismatched pair of less-than-heroic cops who create havoc when they take a chance to step up on a case. August 13th The Expendables The most important part of this final summer action romp is the cast. This film stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, as well as Sylvester Stallone, who wrote and directed it, so it should not be hard to guess this is an all out festival of guns and explosions. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Edgar Wright, director of "Shaun ofthe Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," takes a stab at adapting the "Scott Pilgrim" graphic novel series. This film stars Michael Cera, Chris Evans, and Anna Kendrick, rather then Wright's usual troupe, and the trailers make thisfilmlook like a shcker version of older "Batman" movies. August 20th The Switch This date movie begins with a wild premise. Jennifer Aniston plays a woman whose best friend, played by Jason Bateman, accidentally switches the sample for her artificial insemination with some of his own specimen. Seven years later, they reunite and discover what happened.
