Returning students climb same stairs to a different campus
BY SANDRA CHALMERS &
JACKIE CARBAJAL
Although the campus is celebrating its 20th year while some
of its students a re doing the
same, many overlook the f act
that CSUSM is still quite young
in university years. 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

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

Faces & Places Editor
On June 4, 2009, CSUSM students were sent a message via
web mail notifying them that
because of "budget constraints,"
undergraduate registration would
be limited to 13 uriits or less.
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.

' t J M S t S ' is laying out the first issue of the semester! about 1 day ago.
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 am twenty-three years old. I am going into
my final year at Cal State San Marcos and have loved every minute of going here. I am
majoring in Business Administration emphasis Marketing. I work at Starbucks and love it.
I love Disneyland, learning new things, random talks, and traveling. I have a Westie named

In the fall, Sundays mean football to
some. 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

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.

Want something to gossip about?
Gossip Girl returns this fall on the CW
on Mondays at 9pm, a step up from their
previous 8 o'clock spot. 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.

They say Tuesday h as become the
new Monday. If t hat's t rue, your
going to n eed t wice the e ntertainment a fter your long T-day g rind.
But i nstead of t raditional t rash TV,
why not go f or a show where a guy
eats t rash? A s pin o ff of t he p opular f reak show " Bizarre F oods," the
p opular c hef/host now embarks on
j ourneys a round the world t o explore
c ultural r ituals and p henomena.
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."
Interesting...
Thursdays this fall, "Twilight" fans have another option when
satiating their undead desires. "The Vampire Diaries" premiers
on the CW on Sept. 10 at 8pm. "DeGrassi" actress Nina Dobrev
stars as the innocent Elena Gilbert caught between two vampire
brothers, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, thirsty for blood.
With stars from "Juno," "Smallville," "17 Again," and "Lost/'
critics anticipate the show to be another CW hit. Based on a
series of books by L. J. Smith, "The Vampire Diaries" prdmises
drama and despair on par with CW's other series.

An account of the resource
The first issue of fall 2009 looks at the beginning of the university's 20th year. Furloughs in faculty and staff schedules to reflect a 10 percent pay cut, a 13-unit cap on enrollment and tuition increase are challenges to starting off the new academic year. A bright spot is the introduction of a new campus logo.

On Aug. 27, 2009, while Cal
State University San Marcos'
President
Karen
Haynes
addressed canipu$ staff and
faculty at the university convocation, the California Faculty
Association held an alternative
convocation to address key concerns faculty had in regard to the
effects of budget cuts. 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-

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.
"The faculty agrees with
President Haynes' assertions
that California's commitment
to education is in serious doubt,
and that it is time to make it
clear that we will not tolerate
continued actions that reduce
the quality of education."

W omen's soccer defeats Westmont 1-0
September 12, 2009
Cougar women's
soccer
turned in an excellent effort on
Saturday, posting a well-earned
win against Westmont College
in front of the Cougars' home
crowd.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Additionally, viewers can follow

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
The proverbial "bubble" is the
newest form of international criticism toward American people.
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.

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. This will
release a lot of the moisture and
soften the bell pepper and onion.
Slice eggs in h alf and remove
yolks. Dice egg whites and put
aside. Put yolks in bowl and break
apart with fork until crumbled.
Whisk mayonnaise, mustard,
Tabasco, salt and pepper into egg
yolks. Combine pasta, egg-mayo
sauce, parsley, diced egg whites,
bell pepper and onions. Stir until
combined. Chill for 30 minutes
before serving.

BBQ & M ac

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.

It's time to fight the thirteen-unit restriction
see the injustice of t his situation. 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

into it, even if it feels "corny" or
So here's what the research says "lame." Then, at some point if
you can possibly do so, read the
letter out loud to that person. 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.

and the cutbacks made in

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

I cannot f ind a reason why

Campus holds celebration for sponsors of
new Social and Behavioral Sciences building
BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Sept. 24, 2009, local dignitaries and campus benefactors-gathered in the framework
of what will be the new Social
and Behavioral Sciences building to sign a decorative beam.
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

Classical music's reputation
precedes the genre. 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. The
album's first track, "Figlude," is
a pulsating hybrid of synth hits
mixed with a cello piece by composer Socalled.
Though Haimovitz's real
claim to fame is his incredible

centuries.

THE PRIDE
Pride fashion Hps
W hat to see on D VD
BY BLAINE H MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
"House Bunny" starring Anna
Faris as Shelly Darlingson in the title
role takes place at a fictional college
and his is a perfect vehicle for Fans'
comedic skills. 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.

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.

THE PRIDE
O verflow at ' Meaning in M otion' dance presentation
BY BLAINE HMOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
In Arts building room 111 on
Wednesday evening, the room
filled quickly as throngs of
impatient attendees jostled to get
a prized red ticket for a chance
to get seating in the main auditorium. 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.

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."

"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

The venue also supports various
charities including "Stand Up Fear

on to benefit "Homeless Teens of

This
is
j ust
another
example
of a private project that has potential to inspire new
technology.
This
parallels Google's
work with NASA
to create Google
Earth, a map of
earth made f rom satellite
shots in the public domain,
which everyone f rom surveyors to police officers utilize to
their advantage.
As exciting as this is on a
purely f un level for video
games, it also harkens to science fiction horror. The actual
device looks eerily similar to
HAL9000, the homicidal and
psychotic computer system
from the Stanley Kubrick
film, "2001: A Space Odyssey." 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."
For now, I am counting
down until Project Natal hits
shelves for consumer use. If
you have not already, look
into the videos of this device
and try to tell me this toy is
not going to spawn either a
safer or t errifying f uture.

T HE P RIDE
W ill work for food... until D ecember
BY MATT LEWIS
Faces & Places Editor
The f all season is already
upon us, and for most students
at CSUSM, with f all comes
the need for money. 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

Men's and Women's cross-country win at Cougar Challenge!
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.

October 13, 2009
CSUSM women's golf finished out play at the Aztec
Fall Classic with a strong team
round on Tuesday, finishing J t h
overall at the tournament, j ust
one shot behind Idaho State.
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

The win improves t he Cougars to 8-5 on the year. La

The squad was coming off an

CSUSM came out f iring, generating t hree very dangerous

missing on all of them.
The game would continue

Karen O and the Kids
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
Where the Wild Things Are
came to theatres last Friday, Oct.
16. 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

Aaron Hemphill of Liars.
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.

Appreciate yourself!
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.

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?

Sigur Ros
a
IiI
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
I've always held firm to the
belief that a song is made good by
its lyrics. 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. I

actually think I may need to rework
my claim a little bit. 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

I set out writing this with the

Innovation is the name of the

something right. Sigur Ros,
you're doing it right.

C an I register please?!?!
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?

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).

Advertising circus a i the cinema
BY BILL R HEIN
Senior Staff Writer
When I go t o see
a movie in theaters,
I stick to the cheaper
matinees or Monday or
Tuesday nights, when
t he local Edward's
Theaters have $1 popcorn or candy. 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.

Interview with LTWR professor Heidi Breuer
BY J ESSENIALUA
Pride? S ta!f^riter
V^i^ '
I f anyone h as t aken a Literature and Writing class with P rofessor Heidi Breuer, i t's easy
t o see t he passion she h as for
t eaching and for her students.
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. I
was mostly t eaching composition but I also got t o teach some
l iterature classes. But I 've been
t eaching a total of f ourteen
y ears.

com.
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?)

DJ Shadow
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
~ mf
Ask yourself this: what are DJs famous
for? 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. An investigation into

that segment of his work requires attention
beyond what an ordinary remix might need.
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.

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 ****

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. By our standards
of living, her standard is poor at best,
but we should seefromher strength
and joyous outlook on life, that
maybe her standard of living is not
poor in contrast to ours, only different She hasayoung daughter named
Beauty and a husband who works
far away in a mine to support the
family. 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

not only to this year,
but also to the first
decade of our new millennium, according
to the Gregorian calendar. Looking back
the moviemakers gave us many
delights. After consideration and
reflection, here's my countdown
of the best ten movies from the
last decade.
To start the list, I am going to
go with an obvious one, Peter
Jackson's
"The Lord of
the
Rings"
trilogy, from
2001-2003.

the extended cuts.
Next, I skip to 2006 for the
film that finally earned Martin
Scorsese a Best Picture Oscar,
"The Departed." This had a
star-studded cast led by Jack
Nicholson at the top of his game.
The writing was razor sharp
with gripping dialogue. The tension builds beautifully and was

the best cop film in
recent years.
The Coen Brothers also finally picked
up a Best Picture
Oscar with my next
choice, "No Country for Old Men."
This highly controversial and debatable
thriller from 2007
took its audience for an exercise
in nerves. The often silly Coen
Brothers turned up the serious and scored big with this on,
especially with help from Javier
Bardem.
Cidade de Deus, or "City
of God," a
2002 Brazilian film, is my
next choice.
This coming
of age tail,
set in poverty-stricken
Brazil and follows a young
man through
the extreme
lows of his
childhood and
his eventual
escape. Much
like "Slumdog
M illionaire,"
of New Line Cinema this film is
full of grit and heart.
The Pixar side of Disney took
off these last ten years. They
dominated the animated film
industry, picking up most of the
Oscars in this category. Their
most recent film "Up," continued that legacy in 2009. Easily,
it was one of their most serious films, but it was also very
whimsical. The story of an old
man flying off
in his house
using balloons
was stunning
and
heartwarming.
The

film imports.
Yet in 2001,

came in storming. I have heard
more than one reviewer describe
it as the happiest film ever made.
It is a cheerful tale of a selfless
young woman bringing joy to
her neighbors and friends, and
she happens to find some love
for herself along the way.
Another foreign film that
snuck in was the Korean masterpiece "Oldboy," from 2003.
Director Chan-wook Park wove
a dark tale of revenge in this
mind-bending thriller. It is an
unforgettable story, shot incredibly well, and will leave you
squirming. This under the radar
success is a must-see, especially
before the Steven Spielberg and
Will Smith remake due out soon.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson seems incapable of making
a bad film. In 2007, he showed
his directorial might once again
with "There Will Be Blood."
The first thing that jumps to
mind is the extremely quotable
dialogue, namely, "I drink your
milkshake." But there was much
more to it. Daniel Day-Lewis is
phenomenal in this film and he
draws you into the dark world of
the early oil industry.
My penultimate pick comes
from 2006 and was directed
by Guillermo del Toro. It is the
fantasy titled "El Laberinto del
Fauno," or "Pan's Labyrinth."
This film left me teary-eyed,
on the edge of my seat, with
a
huge
grin. Set
dark yet fantastic world. This is
an incredible film to get lost in
over and over.
My final pick, and thus my
favorite film of the decade was
Disney/Pixar's crown jewel,
" WALL-E." The studio soared
with others hits including "Monsters Inc.," "Finding Nemo,"
and "The Incredibles," but they
nailed this one out of the park.
This sublime film had all the
right elements and is one of
those few films some might consider perfect.
The story of love is entertaining, the look is pure art, and
it is extremely re-watchable.
It had a subtle message about
earth and humanity that become
truer every day. Any film that
can convey so much emotion
through a non-speaking robot
deserves praise. This one did
that, and everything else right,
and that is why I say it's the best
of this decade.
I could go on and list hundreds of must-see movies from
this past decade, and I am sure
others to come, such as "Invictus" or "Avatar" might steal a
place on this list, but these are
the ten I think best represent
quality entertainment and filmmaking. It goes without saying, I
cannot wait to see what the next
ten years has in store.

Study a broad in the LIS
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
I'm back again, giving you
another one of my insights into my
experiences here in America. 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. If you don't have a car
you think how much you need
one, and if you 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. It can be quite frustrating when you think of something
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 thing students need is within 10

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 hard 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 if you'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.

Yes, soul searching. And I
d on't mean the kind of soul
searching you do when you've
lost your l eft f oot, blackstrapped stiletto. I mean the
k ind in which time and distance
allows you to truly see who you
are, what you feel, and what you
want out of life, without being
influenced by the social norms
of what you're used to. Aspects
like family, f riends, and a familiar environment tend to influence you to act in a certain way,
most likely because you are
comfortable with it and this is
what you know. But being away
f rom that opens an entire world
of possibilities, new frontiers
of emotion and social behavior
that you might have never experienced before. At the expense
of sounding like A laddin during
the magic carpet flight (which I
hear I bear an uncanny resemblance too [possible j ob candidate at Disneyland maybe?]),
travelling abroad shows you the
world in a physical and metaphorical sense, not only the
world around you but maybe
you yourself.
Personally, being away for
t hese few months have had
some level of impact upon my
character. I feel the extent of
t his can only be measured by
the people that know me best,
but nonetheless, I am still
myself. But I do know that
being away has given me a time
and place to really t hink about
l ife, myself, and those around
me. Gaining some insight into
what I want f rom myself, f rom
others, f uture goals, what I
want out of l ife and love, all
t hese things come to the f orefront of the mind when I 'm
feeling t ruly alone. Searching the mind and r eflecting on
these memories is something
that I c an't help but do. Literally, even to the point where I
stay cooped up in my room and
j ust t hink. T hink about home,
l ife, love, and whatever else
may be on the menu at the local
s elf-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 f rom
your expected social behaviors,
actions, and responsibilities, it
allows you to hopefully see who
you really are or if you're j ust
playing some role that many
simply expect f rom 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
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 of hitting two bricks against
each other for three hours, but
then again, this j ust 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, i t's like I pasted
them on with 3 year glue-stick).

The gift that keeps on giving
Operation Christmas Child at C SUSM
BY JORDAN VERDIN
Pride Staff Writer
Imagine Christmas morning
and you have no g ifts to share,
no happiness. For hundreds of
thousands of children around
the world, this is a cold, hard
reality. Priority Christian Challenge (PCC) is a club on campus
that is involved with "shoebox
ministry," and partners with
Samaritan's Purse Operation
Christmas Child.
Students involved with this
group want to make a difference and change the lives of
these children, hoping to share
the g ift of love and ofjoy by letting children know that there is
someone who does care about
them and the situation they are
in. This activity brings people
from different groups and clubs
together for one cause: to share
the joy and love of the holiday
with needy children.
When Ruth Bran, the director
of PCC and volunteer campus
minister at Cal State San
Marcos, heard about Operation
Christmas Child eight years
ago, she knew this would be the
perfect way to impact others
during the holidays. Students
involved with PCC give joy to
disadvantaged children aged
from t\yo to 14 at Christmastime, and let them know that
they are special.
Cal State San Marcos students put together over 300
shoeboxes, and while the items
within the shoeboxes — toi-
letries, toys crayons, school
supplies, stuffed animals, and
stickers - aren't particularly
expensive^: the g ifts are cherished for a lifetime.
' These shoeboxes might bib*
one of the only g ifts the cfiildfc
will ever receive their entire
life," said Bran. One of the
groups involved is Alpha XI
Delta, a sorority that threw a
party and had several teams rl
bring g ifts and boxes. They collected over 200 boxes at that
event. "Every box will change a
child's life," said Jenny McDonald, treasurer of Priority Christian challenge and sister of
Alpha XI Delta.
CSUSM's international students and the American Language and Culture instate are
also involved with Operation
Christmas Child, and realize
that what they are doing is a
life changing? experience f or
both themselves and the children.
"This is a rewarding experience and it makes me more
appreciative," said Priority
Christian Challenge President
Huy Tu. "It's worth it to see the
smiles on their faces."
It has not always been simple
t o find everything needed to
complete the shoeboxes for the
children. According to Bran,
one of the hardest elements of
the g ifts to find is the empty
shoeboxes needed to pack the
g ifts 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 qot be able to afford to
donate g ifts 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 f ull impact of their g ift
has on the children, the effects
are immeasurable.
A great example of someone being impacted is Huda, a
female dietitian student f rom
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. For more information, they can visit the website

THE PRIDE
C SUSM goes G lobal
Students may now declare G lobal Studies major
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
Last month, CSUSM issued
a press release announcing
its plans to establish a new
Global Studies degree. As students may already be aware,
thé Global Studies department,
which offered a Global Studies
minor, was already in existence
prior to this announcement.
Certainly a sign that in spite
of the budget cuts to the CSU
system, CSUSM i s continuing
its growth, the Global Studies department now o ffers students the opportunity to also
major in Global Studies.
"Getting the program started
was largely the work of an
advisory group of faculty f rom
these departments under the
early leadership of Professor
Scott Greenwood who was the
f irst Program Director for the
program," said Global Studies Program Director Patty
Seleski, who is also a professor
of history. "Program development was assisted by a generous Department of Education
Title VI grant which allowed
faculty to put the major
together and to train in interdisciplinary teaching."
The new
interdisciplinary major is built off of
the program's minor
degree
program,
allowing
students to choose
f rom a list of
approved
course s
fr o m
various
departin e n t s
including history,
p olitical
science,
economics, modern
language,
literature and
writing, sociology, women's
studies, and visual
and performing arts.
"Even our local community is l inked t o t he global
c ommunity. In t he 21st c entury,
n ations share problems relat-
ing to s ecurity, h ealth, climate and the economy, among
completed many of t he m ajor
r equirements may also have
i nterest in double m ajoring
to include the Global Studies
major.
Seleski a dvises t hat t here is
a clear d ifference b etween t he
Global Studies m ajor and t he
Global B usiness M anagement
option in the College of Business.
"Although the p rogram does
encourage the whole p rocess
of g lobalization as it involves
the economy, b usiness and
c ommunication, we are also
i nterested in h aving s tudents
t hink about all t he ways in
which the global c ommunity
is i ncreasingly i ntertwined,"
said Seleski.
Even w ith t he new Global
Studies m ajor option now
available, t he Global S tudies
d epartment is s till w orking
t owards e xpanding i ts p rogram even f urther.
"As the p rogram d evelops,

or here in San Diego."

COUGARS
CSUSM M en's Soccer falls 1 -0 to Simon Fraser in A .I.I. Championship
November 14, 2009
Cougar men's soccer gave everything it had in the A.I.I. Finals on Saturday, but the spirited e ffort was not
enough to overcome top-seeded Simon
Fraser, as CSUSM fell l-0.The loss
ends what has been an incredibly mem-
orable season for Cal State San Marcos
men's soccer.
Coach Ron P ulvers' senior-heavy
squad got off to a 1-3 start but r efused
to give in, playing their way to an
11-6-1 f inal record and w inning two
post-season matches as the #3 seed.
However,
Simon
Fraser,
the
#3-ranked team in the nation, proved
to be too much Saturday night. The
Cougars hung with them throughout,
actually holding a 7-6 advantage in
shots on goal and a 5-3 lead in corner
kicks. But a Simon Fraser goal in the
75th minute would prove to b e the only
stat that m attered, as the Clan held on
to win the conference title.
"The team played great and provided
a lot of resistence," commented Coach
Pulvers. " This is one of my f avorite
teams I 've ever coached."
Women's Soccer National Championship pairings announced
the second round of the 32-team tourna^
ment, which will take place in Decatur,
Alabama.
CSU San Marcos, who won its second
consecutive Association of Independent
Institutions (A .1.1.) Conference Championship on Saturday, comes in with a
10-4-4 record. At one point the team was
3-4-3, but Coach Ron Pulvers' squad is

Cal State San Marcos women's soccer
will face 8th-seeded Vanguard University in the 2009 NAIA Women's Soccer
National Championship Opening Round.
The opening round game will be
hosted by Vanguard in Costa Mesa on
Saturday, November 21st. The teams will
be competing for the right to advance to
riding an 8-game unbeaten streak.
Vanguard, who defeated Point Loma
on Saturday to win the Golden State Athletic Conference Championship, enters
as the #8 seed in the nation with a 12-1-6
record.
This will be the second time these
teams have met this season. Back on
September 9th, Vanguard traveled to San
Marcos and stifled the Cougar offense to
win a 1-0 decision that saw CSUSM only
put two shots on net.
Of course, the Cougar squad from September was at a very different place than
the one who will take the field this Saturday, so expect a competitive and hardfought contest between these regional
rivals!

BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
Try as I might, sometimes I
just cannot escape the looming
nature 6f pop culture. 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 of realizing 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 of the 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 of the 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

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.
Called "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 CSÜSM 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

for his individual track release.
Bon 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 coliid, or th¥y took advan-*
tage 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.

The 2009 season for Cal State
San Marcos women's soccer
came to an end on Saturday, as
the squad lost 1-0 in the NAIA
National Championship Opening
Round to Vanguard.
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.
Senior Clarissa Hidalgo led the
Cougars with two shots, and Kelly

November 21, 2009
Rough, muddy conditions
got to the #4-ranked CSUSM
men's cross-country team at
Saturday's NAIA National
Championships, as the squad
settled for 17 place.
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."

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.

Kinaly Thai San Marcos' pad thai restaurant
BY TRISH CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
They cooked their tofu very well; crispy
on the outside and soft in the middle.
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.

and line bottom of foil. Salt and pepper 1 Bag frozen green beans
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic (2 tsp chopped)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
These green beans are so easy to make
and super delicious to boot. 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.

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

THE PRIDE
Leonard Cohen
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
The f irst time I encouritered the song "Hallelujah," it
was off the Shrek soundtrack,
sung by the magnificent
R ufus Wainwright. 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. Unfortunately,
as talented as the man is in
poetry (check out "The SpiceBox of Earth"), he j ust isn't
grabbing my attention with
this spoken word thing he has
going on when my dear R ufus
makes the song nearly operatic.
To my surprise, I finally
came across the copyrighted
song credits: words and music
by Leonard Cohen.
Cohen, a writer-turnedmusician, composed "Hallelujah" in 1981 for his 1984
imagecourtesyof Adalah-NY
album "Various ~ Positions", album. I can't tell you why, but that sounds nice than one that
Initially, the track wasn't too I can assume that most people clearly surpasses the level of
successful; neither was the would rather listen to a song art present in most modern
music. And let's be honest
here, Cohen hasn't got the
most melodious set of pipes
in all the land. Even though
the aesthetics of the work left
something to be desired, listeners recognized where the
beauty lies in C ohfu's most
famous work. f odny^Vohe^'s

soul unless Paul McCartney is

the variances and ntfances of

if you ask me, R ufus does it
best).

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

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,

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."

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

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.

Haulted healthcare reform
Has Massachusetts stopped progress?
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.

Sometimes the best place to be is right back where you started. For
those that might remember, I started here as News Editor back in 2007
and moved up to the Managing Editor spot for most of 2008. After
taking a year off to serve as President of the Great Zeta Beta Tau fraternity in 2009,1 was asked to resurrect the News section. It's what I
do best and I couldn't be happier to be get back to where my love for
journalism first came to fruition. I'm eager to shake off the dust and
step back into this exciting and volatile atmosphere so r eadyfor a big
turn around in 2010!
Welcome back! This is my fourth semester as your Business Manager here at The Pride and my last. I will be graduating with my Bachelors in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing on
May 15,2010 which is exactly 108 days from now. (not like I'm keeping count or anything) I am married to the guy who has the same last
name as me.. ..hmmm which one of the editors could it be? We have
been married just about 4 months now, it's crazy how time just flies
on by. We have the most awesome dog, Harrison, he's a Westie and for
those of you who don't know what a Westie is.. .well you are definitely
missing out! I am a really compassionate person and enjoy talking
with people...so if you see me around campus say hi. 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

be a law. I also think Ben's

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.

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.

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

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

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.

C S U S M c elebrates
its 2 0th a nniversary
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
Jan. 28-Students, Faculty,
and S taff came together to
celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cal State San Marcos
last Thursday with a special
celebration during U-Hour.
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

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.

team makes

new field
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
The women's s oftball team
s tarted out the season with a
double-header win over t he
University of R edlands, t he
f inal scores being 6-1, and
4-3.
T his f irst game of the new
season was a m onumental
occasion. It o ccurred on the
new s oftball f ield located
behind the Clarke b uilding.
The a ttendance of t he g ame
was over t riple of last seasons o ff campus g ames. *Vr
Alyssa D ronenburg, who
was r esponsible f or two
h omeruns in the f irst g ame,
t hinks that the new f ield will
help develop the p rogram
f urther, and give the team
more s upport. T his season
she looks forward to beating her b atting stats f rom
last year, as well as w ining a
National Championship with
her t eam.
The new coach f or t he
C ougars, Dave W illiams,
even put in labor and t ractor d riving t ime in order to
get the f ield completed f or
t his season. He said t he f ield
was made p ossible w ith t he
strong b acking of t he U niversity. He believes t he new
f ield will give t he t eam t he
c omfort, and f ans they were
lacking last s eason.
Coach Williams is blessed
with a veteran heavy s quad,
which he believes w ill give
t he team added c onfidence
and composure under pressure. T his d efinitely seemed
the case in the second game,
when the C ougars were down
t hree in t he 5th, and made a
comeback to t ie in t he 6th.
Chanel Rose pitched two
outs, and with b ases loaded,
B renna Sandberg came in
t o get the last out. Together
they held o ff the Redland
Bulldogs to keep t he tie.

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.

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

InterVarsity helps Haiti heal

Students and community
members gathered to show support in an effort to raise $3,000
to benefit earthquake victims
and their families in Haiti at the

CSUSM's Christian student organization, InterVarsity,
teamed up Christian humanitarian

raise money for the devastating
earthquake that hit Haiti. Inter-

varsity's benefit show featured
two live student bands, original
artwork and a lively atmosphere
that attracted more than 150
people.
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"

the effects of the economy still remained.
He said, "One in 10 Americans still cannot

President Barack Obama has now officially Home values have declined. Small towns

President Obama admitted in his State of harder."
He spoke about the introduction of the
the Union address that the devastation from

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."

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

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

Playing on Sunday at Vanguard University, Cougar baseball put forth a total team e ffort
to sweep Oregon Tech. The

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. The bullpen was
excellent, with Eric Julienne,
Johnny Holtman and Spen-

The defense behind those
pitchers was also strong, not
committing an error o v t the
course of the game. Silvett
drove in the team's f inal un
with an RBI double in the sixth
inning.
In game two, Cougar starter
Travis McCracken pitched a

somewhat philosophical, what you

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

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

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

VOL. 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."

Ten nomination g amble p ays off
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Last summer, the
Academy of Motion
Pictures Arts and
Sciences, the group
behind the Oscars,
announced for the
first time in decades
they would nominate
ten films for Best Picture. 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

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.

We learn less and they don't offer as

is particularly difficult with furloughs, according to Communications major Brett Shiffler.

C SU S M Greek life d ernfpÄl
BY M ALLANE DRESSEL
Pride S ^ff Writer
"Brightly colored Greek letters cover
grey S idewalks, and meet and greet
b arbfgues commence the fall rush for
our f raternities and sororities here on
campus. 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.
If this new information has intrigued
you into exploring one of these organizations, seek more knowledge from
their websites or from the upcoming
Greek Fair on Feb. 11 during U-hour at
the University Plaza.

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.

on where I park affects what time I get to

bad and the lack of parking is a big hassle."
Both of these students have methods that
allow them to get to classes on time, but
leaving any later can make each student

to be time consuming and affects each

C ougar Baseball shuts out Patten in S unday double-header
BY KYLE TREMBLY
Coming o ff a rough 12-0
loss to Patten U niversity
on Friday, Cougar baseball
e xtracted revenge on Sunday.
The team c ame out f iring on
all c ylinders, w inning game
one 9 -0 and game two 6 -0.
CSUSM improves to 4-1-1
on the s eason, w hile Patten
drops to 1-5.
Game one was dominated
by Cougar s tarting pitcher
Brett M iller. The t all righty,
who shut down #2 Point
Loma in h is CSUSM debut
a fter t ransferring f rom San
Diego State, went the distance.
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. M iller was e conomical with his pitches,
relying on a d efense that rose
t o the occasion by not committing an error.
"I d idn't feel like I had my
b est s tuff when I was w arming up, by a fter I got t hrough
t he f irst couple i nnings I settled down and s tarted dealing," said Mrller f ollowing
the game.
And t he Cougar o ffense,
a fter being shut out d uring
F riday's loss, responded as
well, s tarting with a fourrun f irst i nning.
R icardo
Moran and Kevin Silvett got
t hings s tarted with one out
singles, and a Josh Miller
double down the l eft f ield
l ine scored them b oth.
J ohnny. Omahen followed
that up with a nearly identi-
cal RBI double of his own,
and a fter stealing t hird,
scored on a Steve H arris
i nfield single.
R BI's f rom Ryle Parks and
Omar M anzanarez would
mak$ it 6 -0 in the t hird, and
a two out, t wo-run single by
Mike Pena made it 8 -0 in t he
f ourth. The C ougars' f inal
r un came on a base hit by
M iller in the f ifth.
Not
to
be
outdone,
game two s tarter Travis
McCracken kept the Patten
o ffense scoreless. He lasted
f ive i nnings, allowing j ust
two h its and two w alks while
s triking out f ive.
Together, t he C ougars'
top two s tarters have now
t hrown 25.1 i nnings t his
season without allowing a
single r un.
At the plate, CSUSM once
again j umped out t o an early
lead, t his t ime 2 -0 in t he
f irst. M anzanarez led o ff
with a double, and a t wo-run
bomb f rom Josh M iller put
t he C ougars in t he d river's
seat.
The C ougars would extend
it to 5 -0 in the t hird, t hanks to
an RBI double f rom O mahen,
sac f ly f rom H arris, and RBI
single f rom Mike Pena. The
t eam's f inal r un came t he

Relievers Eric J ulienne and

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.

mix CD. But all of these mix tape
standbys have modern counterparts
that need a little mix tape love too.

in love with Lloyd Dobler as any
other chick this side of 1983, but
this ditty is overplayed. An equally

Rogue Wave. The idea is the same,
but the sound is far more listenerfriendly.
Everyone knows "Just Like

the rough, streets-of-London exterior that Unkle puts on put you off.
"Heaven" is a mellower, slightly
industrial track that could easily
slide in among other mix tape classics.

Recall
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
On March 4, Students and Faculty across California will join
thousands of demonstrators across
the state in what is being billed as a
"Day of Statewide Action for Public
Education." 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.

I was excited for
the Olympics to start
last Friday, but when I
reminded a co-worker,
he shrugged it off and
told me he did not care.
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.

are hitting bottom, like things in
their lives are hopelessly miserable
or unbearably painful. 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

might be, use these numbers. And

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.

participants voted democratically to
call for a Strike and Day ofAction on
March 4,2010."
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.
Not only does achieving HSI
status align with two of our
campus strategic priorities, Educational Equity and Academic
Excellence, but it speaks of our
commitment to reflecting and

Haynes.

Toyota recall: H ow safe is your ride?
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

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-

W hat is ailing y ou?
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.

scoreless for the first four innings.
Finally, CSUSM broke through
in the fifth, taking a 3-0 lead.
Mike Pena drew a walk, and with
two outs, Matt Jenkins continued his hot hitting with a big RBI
double. That brought up Ricardo

But San Diego Christian would

The Cougar bullpen would

taste.
The site is a place to buy, in their words,
"dynamically-priced MP3 downloads." Their
claim to fame is the way they sell the music. All
tracks start out at a very low price, sometimes
even free, and as their popularity rises the price
does as well.
Albums are also available to purchase. The
way it works is when a track is being constantly
bought, the price will go up. If a song is new
or not as popular, the price remains low. Prices
can range from free or $0.01 to $0.98 and
albums from $0.00 to $8.98. The platform is
very simple and effortlessly navigated by users
with simple links and features and is easy for
anyone with basic computer knowledge.
Their process is a great way for a person to
search for new music. Ifthe price is high, many
people enjoy the song. If it is low, chances are
it is not as well liked. They also have great
rewards for using their site. As you buy you
can recommend (REC) music that you like. By
recommending, you can earn money to your
account to be able to purchase more.
With this purchasing mechanism comes a
new way for artists to gain steam within the

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

Gardner's previous criminal
history includes a guilty plea
to multiple counts of forcible
lewd acts with a child and false
imprisonment, landing him
a six year prison sentence in
May 2000. Sheriff Gore said
Gardner has been uncooperative

insist they may still be able
to implicate Gardner without
locating the victim. 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

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. More information on
search efforts can also be found

Authorities have requested
those with any information
relating to the disappearance
of Chelsea King to contact the

Pride Staff Writer
Cai State San Marcos is hosting: the inaugural San Marcos
Round Up, on March 13 where
students will have the opportunity to take ¡part in a 5km race
orpin l lkmfrace, according to
a press rej/ase by the office 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

won the award previously. 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

But the big winner is going
to be "The Hurt Locker." This

people by, but it is cleaning up

the other likelyfilm,James Cameron's "Avatar," will top Kathryn Bigelow's story of the bomb

it will be a fun show to celebrate

The two races differ in both
their length and where they are
run. "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

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

Both the races are due to start
at 8 AM. However, the students

allows faculty, staff, and the outside community to take part.
There is also reason for those

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

Lighting up at C SUSM
Hazards of social smoking
Every year, hundreds of thousands of deaths are due to smoking related illnesses. 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-

have a right to talk, or then we

totally okay with professors

the workforce, to see that, to see
that you do have options, and

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."

they stream it in class to get

Blaring tunes, CSUSM college radio hits airwaves
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Editor-in-Chief
Roaring into our twenties,
CSUSM has upgraded into the
twenty f irst century and introduced its first radio station.
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

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. The cougars
finish up that busy two weeks
playing Vanguard on March
spencer Pardon is on the left and Eric Julieene is on the right.
16 at 6:00 PM at Poway High

busy and tough weeks, CSUSM
cougars are looking to come out
with some wins.
The players this season have
high expectations for suc-

cess this year. Junior, Spencer
Pardon said, "In the season so
far, we have been doing pretty
well. We had a tough game
against Cal Baptist, but are
looking forward to a strong rest
of the season."

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 the music and the different
use of camera angles create the
tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in

If you are the kind of person

can make the viewer leave their

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

coming, and as a result I wasn't
surprised when it did.

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-

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

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

after? the March 10 announcement of the Computer Compe-
tency Requirement's elimination.
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.

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

source of revenue for public education and
we wouldn't have to worry about this up
and down that we have been experiencing."
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.

Hate crimes spark student involvement in equality protests
BY SARAH GADDIS
Pride Staff Writer
On March 3, 2010, University Police
responded to a call that vandalism, a
derogatory message targeting multiple
minority groups, had occurred in the
women's restroom in Markstein Hall.
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. Despite
the strong language, University Police

Baseball completes four game sweep of Illinois Tech
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Cougar baseball completed a
four-game sweep of Illinois Tech on
Thursday, winning a tense game one
5-4 and getting a dominating 12-0
victory in game two.
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

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

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.

unloaded on a no-doubt-about-it

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

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.

�Surf team competes at state championships
Team members advance toward national title
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Surf Team competed in the NSSA Interscholastic State Championships on
March 5-7 at Huntington Pier,
and placed 8 among the other
21 competing teams.
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.

remains on course to win
R ecycleMania for sixth y ear in a row
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is currently set to win its sixth title in
as many years in the international
recycling competition RecycleMania.
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."

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. "We

ASI makes safety a priority for Spring Break fun
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Arts & Entertainment
3 D Experience
On Thursday, March 18 during
U-Hour, ASI held an event to promote the concept that students
can have fun during spring break
while still keeping their safety in
mind. 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

Chatroulette will replace
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
I have a strong feeling Chatroulette will
be the next big social
networking
website. 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. Either way, the
global implications a re exciting.

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.

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."

Foolproof foundations for easier packing a nd travel
BY AMY SALISBURY
Editor-in-Chief
Luggage can make or break a trip.
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.

The constant concern over
traveling abroad for students
becomes a growing worry as
spring break gets closer and students brainstorm great travel
plans.
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

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.

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.

Cougar Softball cruises to So-Cal sweep
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Brenna Sandberg's 19 strikeouts highlighted a pair of dominating wins for #20 Cougar softball at the Sun West Tournament
on Thursday. 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.

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

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

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.

It is a nice blend of the large interface of a computer and the quick

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

away to take in media on the move
and the first step towards new capabilities of portable electronics.

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.

G rand opening of disc golf course at C SUSM, April 14
THE PRIDE
San Marcos, CA - The o fficial grand opening of the
California State University
San Marcos (CSUSM) Disc
Golf Course will be held in a
ribbon cutting ceremony from
ll:30am-l:oo pm on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at the
Forum Plaza located near the
Kellogg Library.
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.

CSU students and representatives as well as
AT&T representatives will travel on a tour bus

The Tour starts on April 12 and runs through

The Tour is attempting to raise more awareness by attempting to bring in legislators, city

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. Tango offers happy
hour specials six days a week in their lounge
area. Their happy hour menu offers 50 percent off bar-drink specials. Available on
Tuesdays, $2 tacos, margaritas, and stone
draft make Tango an easy way to dress up a
potentially boring TUesday night.
For a less club feel and a more relaxed
atmosphere, D Street Bar and Grill in
Encinitas delivers more of a selection of
comfort food and drinks. No fancy drinks
with hard to pronounce names, just familiar $3 bottled beer, and $4 margaritas, bloody
tastes. This no surprise, straightforward, Mary's and mimosas on Sundays only.
happy hour hot spot offers chili cheese
fries, nachos grande, and calamari rings.
Enjoy happy hour responsibly, by indulging in cheap drinks and good eats often.

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

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.

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.

Learn h ow to surf in N orth C ounty
Catch some waves and Optimize the summer experience
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Beach, sun, and surf exemplify the perfect summer, and
one of the best ways to enjoy
these features is by flowing
with one of nature's greatest
wonders in the act of surfing.
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. When an agreeable
tum obtained in paddling, the wave appears on the horizon,
more successful the participant they should orient themselves
will be in getting past the break- to be facing the shore, and then

efficient way to pass the waves pushing them before they do
is to turtle the board. To turtle the practiced pop-up. If all goes

This superhero flick, based

the genre, similar to the effect
"Zombieland" had on zombie

on A pril 8 and was due to r un
t hrough u ntil A pril 15 but
was cancelled as the t heatre
d epartment wanted to m aintain a level of p rofessionalism, something it felt was not
given by the director, according to Cole Train, an actor in
the play.
"Some of the scenes in our

the students b ecame f rustrated
with each other and not the
system that was causing the
problem. The play also dealt
w ith the issue of f rustration in
t hat the source of t he problem
could not be t ouched.
Train felt even t hough the
play was c ancelled, the m essage b ehind it was i mportant.
He said, " After every show,
we gave the audience some

r egarding the play, f urloughs,

tic because that was the p oint

" It's i mportant to educate

t hink the play sent that message t o a lot of people."
Train also said he felt that

How to survive apartment hunting
The do's and don'ts on finding the perfect place
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer
Finding a place to live is important
for any students, but can be a d ifficult,
time-consuming, and sometimes j ust a
plain old headache. 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.

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

the p rogram gain considerable
exposure
throughout
the

By early Monday morning
outgoing campers had already
b egun to f orm a sizable line at
the booth. While the f ocus of
the p roject is tent donations,
many in line o ffered sleeping
bags, c ookware, f lashlights,

of which Tents for R efugees

" This is the only weekend
all year I ever camp and we
c ouldn't donate our tent
because we borrowed it, but
my group had some s tuff that
we really d on't need so we
f igured we might as well give
something," said Leah Scott.
Shimon P resents stated
in a p ress release last week,
"Many people buy t ents
b efore a f estival and never

a chance to help someone in

Liam Clarke, a 22 year old

one such i ndividual. "I f lew
out here a few days early
to buy up a tent and some
camping gear t hinking I might
sell it or give it away a fter the

c an't b ring the s tuff back with
me so I 'm glad somebody can
take it o ff my hands and put it

Liam was one of many
foreign Coachella p atrons
unable to b ring home their
weekend gear and eager
to donate. However, other
f estival goers with shorter

simply t rying t o f ree up some

" I rode the whole way here

"HOMECOMING"
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Mischa Barton stars in this horror thriller
about a ex-girlfriend who seeks revenge
when her former lover falls for a new

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

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.

Settling the w ake of the ¡Phone l eak
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Mobile phone companies raised the bar
of their smart phone
over the past year and
have put the pressure on
Apple's iPhone. 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. New

phones such as the Motorola Droid
and the soon-to-be released HTC
Incredible have taken customers
from Apple. 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

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.

your request." 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

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

Suzanne Schmidt is one the
student representatives at large
for ASI who decided to host
the event. "I thought of doing a
debate the moment I was told that

On the topic of abortion, she
said, "We chose abortion for

suggested by students."
There will be more debates
to come, although when and on

of gay marriage and lowering

�Interviewing tips to snag that j ob

P rill S tiff Writer
interview they need to book an appointment either by email, or phone a week
in advance. 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

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.

S pray on y our perfect tan
BY SARAH GADDIS
Pride Staff Writer
With summer so close t anning is
becoming a priority, but the risks of too
much exposure to h armful U V rays are
starting to send people to other means of
attaining the p erfect summer glow.
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,

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. The options available for achieving the p erfect tan without the risks are p lentiful and therg5§ no
reason for anyone to contijjue damaging
their skin.
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

community cares about their environmental impact in our community and
each make a conscience e ffort to help our
environment.
With this success CSUSM looks to a
greener f uture here on campus that will
b e instilled in students for generations to
come.

Baseball finishes regular season with 6-5 win over A zuza
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
The stands behind the home
dugout were f ull at Poway High
School Monday night, as Cougar
baseball closed out its 2010 regular season with a rousing 6-5
victory over Azusa Pacific.
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

win to finish the season 7-4.
At the plate, Kevin Silvett

Incredible poetry a nd experience worth sharing
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
To celebrate National Poetry
Month, several poetry readings
were scheduled in the San Diego
County area. 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

T

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. Leah

create a learning experience for
all poets in the community the
event should have been publicized more extravagantly than
just through selected mailing
and email. 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.

"Rumi's Place" from her published book of poetry "Innerscapes," inspired by the way

Cesmat
shared a descriptive piece,
"Sliding From Seeds," that was
reminiscent of the far-reaching explicit metaphors found in
Rumi's work.
Through this sharing process,
those in the audience that were
not part of the Magee Park Poets
were able to see how the poets
being praised at the event had
affected the poets in the audience, but it also made the event
feel less open and more exclusive. In order to have the event

With finals week looming in
the near distance, the return of
Relay for Life this past weekend to CSUSM offered students
a last chance to campaign for a
cause with their peers before
breaking for the summer
months ahead. 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. Soaring past their
goal of $2,400, The Defending

The secret o f life
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
For three years I
have enjoyed writing
this opinion column.
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. I focus on
the good parts of my
job and make the most out of

every shift. 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

ago. All you need is love.
Follow that, and anything else
that matters will come with

Campus computers c hanging t o W indows 7
New Microsoft O S for fall 2 0 1 0
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Computers on campus will change
from using Windows Vista to Windows
7 by fell 2010.The change will start in
the summer with next year's faculty and
s taff's systems with all instructor stations and lab computers switched over
by fall.
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.

G oodbye from the Business M anager
BY KRISHNA LAWLER MARTINEZ
Business Manager
Well California State University San
Marcos, the time has come for me to say
goodbye and with that I must say goodbye
to The Pride Student Newspaper as well.
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

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. Without my wife Kristina, my peers, faculty, s taff, and everyone who has helped me along the way,
I could not have made it through without the support of everyone, and I thank
each and every one of you.

W omen's Golf in fourth after round one at conference championships
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Competing to strengthen
its bid for a spot in the NAIA
National Championships, the
# ll-ranked Cougar women's
golf team got off to a good start
at the Conference Championships Monday, and is in fourth
place after .round one.
Playing on Primm Valley
Golf course in Primm, NV, the
Cougars are up against some of
the best in the NAIA. Along
with fellow Association of
Independent Institutions (A.I.I.)
powerhouses #3 University of
British Columbia and #13 University of Victoria, the 11-team
grouping also includes #4 Cal
Baptist from the Golden State
Athletic Conference (GSAC)
and #5 Concordia UniversityOregon from the Cascade Conference.
After one of two rounds,
CSUSM is solidly in the mix
with a team score of 308. Cal
Baptist leads at 294, British
Columbia is in second at 301,
and Concordia (OR) is in third
at 305. Victoria is in f ifth, four
shots behind CSUSM at 312.
Individually, Ellyse Siu shot
a fantastic even-par 72 for the
Cougars, and Roxanne Mejia
wasn't far behind at +1 (73).
Linnel DeVilla shot a 79, and
Megan Pechner and Stephanie
Cole both shot 84.
Despite just one automatic
bid available for this packed
region, CSUSM Head Coach
Fred Hanover is optimistic
about his team's chances to
continue its season. "I feel
good about our chances for
Nationals," he said following
Monday's round.
The tournament will conclude with the second and final
round on Tuesday.

C omedie d irector D anny Leiner p ays a visit
Tells students the w ays of the media industry
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Acclaimed comedic director, Danny Leiner, gave students a peek into the media
i ndustry when he took over
P rofessor Jonathan B erman's
mass media class last Tuesday.
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.

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.

gritty and intense like original story about afightingcrew
pitted against the titular monster.
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.
