The answer is no, for now at least.

"And when faculty morale is negatively affected, it can't help but affect students!" said Dr. Thomas. Dr. Barrett and the CFA urge students to vote on the issues that affect them and their education within the state of California. Since the state remains without a budget, it is imperative, according to Dr. Barrett, that students understand drastic cuts will begin in Spring 2011 and beyond if no budget appears soon. "[The CFA] feel it essential to make sure the voting population understands the issues and gets eut to vote in the November election, and have plans for activities along those lines.

CougarBookRentals. com �S TUDENT HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES Keeping you healthier, a little wealthier, and wise BYTORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR Hie beginning of the academic year is a great time for both new and returning students to learn about services offered by CSUSM, especially ones that can not only keep you healthy, but also keep a little more money in your pocket. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) is located directly across Twin Oaks Valley Road at 120 Craven Road. Its within easy walking distance of campus, and offers a significant amount of health services for free, or at reduced prices, to students. I got a chance to sit down with Dr. Karen Nicholson, SHCS's medical director, to talk about how SHCS can help you as a student. PRIDE: What would you say are the most important services offered here? DR. NICHOLSON: Well, the most common thing we see students for are issues surrounding family planning and sexual health... We have a free services program called Family PACT. It provides family planning to students who qualify, both men and woman. That could be free pap smear, free birth control, free STD screenings for women. For young men, it can include free STD screens and condoms. It's our third year of providing Family PACT. (For more information about the program and to find out if you qualify, stop by SHCS and talk to the Family PACT registration coordinator Monday through Thursday from 9am to 1 l am or 2pm to 4pm, Friday from 9am to 1 lam.). We see a lot of headaches, sore throats, upset stomachs... We also see a lot of students for depression and anxiety. If students have stress or depression, we refer students to our counseling section, which is part of this center. We have three staff psychologists and a part time psychiatrist who can prescribe medication. W hat d o you t hink is t he most i mportant t hing f or students t o know about SCHS? Something t hat you would want incoming students t o know? As a registered student, students can see medical providers and counselors for free, with the exception of the psychiatrist. If a student needs to come every day, there's no co-pay. There are some charges for labs or medications, but not all of them. It's also good for students to know that we have a registered pharmacist on staff, and we carry a lot of over the counter medications at significantly reduced prices for students. We also look for ways to help students save money on their medications. They're not obligated to use our pharmacy. We'll tell you if a medication might be cheaper at Walmart or Costco. So why would students with health insurance come to SCHS? Sometimes, it's just more convenient to come here. If students who have insurance see us, there's no co-pay. If they need a prescription, sometimes they can submit the receipt back to the insurance company to be reimbursed. (WRITER'S NOTE: The Family PACT program offered by SHCS mentioned earlier can also help students who have insurance, but need confidential sexual health services outside of their insurance.) Tell me about SCHS providing vaccines. I know you were sending out e-mails left and right when people needed the H1N1 vaccine last year. We offer a lot of vaccines. We'll have the flu shot in early fall, no later than the end of September. We'll advertise the dates of the clinics. This year, the regular flu shot and H1N1 vaccine will be combined in one shot. It was about $10 for students to receive the seasonalfluvaccine last year, and it'll probably be about the same this year... We also have the vaccines for Hepatitis A and B, Tdap which is the tetanus shot, the meningitis vaccine, MMR, and Gardisil, the HPV vaccine that has now been approved for use in both men and women.. All of our vaccines are $65 or less, except Gardasil. It's $120 per shot, because it's so new. So, what about H1N1? I've also heard about whooping cough starting to be a problem in elementary and high school. We're in contact with the county and we help them manage any potential outbreaks, so we're well prepared for anything. Most of the stuff people are hearing about whooping cough in the media is happening to little kids. However, we do know that adults can spread it to children, so we mostly want to make sure students PHOTOS BY: TORIA BODDEN//THE PRIDE who work with kids are immunized. What about emergency services? Do you have any advice f or students if they have an emergency? We don't have an emergency room here, and we don't offer urgent care. We are in a good location, though, with emergency response teams on both sides of us, that can transport students quickly to either Tri City Medical Center or Palomar Hospital... We do have same day appointments, though. These aren't for life threatening emergencies, but they're for urgent problems that happen overnight. We keep these appointments blocked off until the day of the appointment. Typically, even in non-urgent situation, people can get appointments in one to two days. The wait for counseling appointments does get longer as the semester progresses. One last question» since I know this is information that may be very important to both our male and female readers. What are your resources for dealing with sexual assault? If any student is the victim of a sexual or physical assault, they can come here for an initial evaluation, which will include a conversation with one of our police officers. We're not a sexual assault response team (SART) center. The closest one is at Palomar. However, between clinical help and counseling support, we do everything we can to help the student. There's also a new webpage from the Women's Center website about sexual assault advocacy that may help students (http://www.csusm.edu/sadv/sa/ index.html). For more information about SCHS and its services, check online at http://www.csusm.edu/ shcs/or call 760-750-4915. �T AKE SPOME OA CTION ' WEEKS O F W ELCOME' ROVIDES T ONS F WAYS T O G ET I NVOLVED BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR There really is a place to ask a nice, friendly person for directions.

On the bench, incoming freshman Warren Ashcroft joins the Cougars from Poway High School, and should contribute immediately. His explosive goalscoring ability may also make him a good fit up front as well as in the midfield. Fellow newcomers Carlin Kennedy and Anthony Perez will also contribute, and should develop into very good players for the program. On defense, veterans Cary Cousineau and Tyler Spitznagel have been strong in camp and should see thefield,as should freshmen Anthony Fischer and J.J. Paetow. The squad is also getting a potentially big addition in Eric Lopez, a transfer from Chico State who should join the team early in the season. Overall, expect this year's Cougar team to be more attack-oriented than those of the last couple years. Despite the lack of experience, CSUSM is already receiving votes in the NALA Preseason Poll, and team is looking to start strong to earn itsfirstnational ranking, as well as qualify again for the A.I.I.

"We want to encourage students to be involved in the arts outside of the classroom. Its recreational, therapeutic, relaxing and expressive. It gives students a creative space," stated Marilyn Huerta, Arts Association Advisor. Huerta, realizing there wasn't an art organization, began asking students last year if they would be interested in starting a student art organization. "In the past we've had about 120 members. I expect to continue growing," stated Huerta. Last year, the Arts Association organized events that included Hope for Haiti Art Auction, Falling on Winter Student Art Exhibit, Love Your Body Day in collaboration with the ASI Women's Center and Operation Art, an exhibit dedicated to veterans. I he Arts Association will kick off the fall semester with a student exhibit that will showcase student work in the Arts building. "This club is great for art students who want to step out of their shell, show their work and get feedback. It also gives the average student a creative space to express themselves," said Heurta. Last semester, two Arts Association members, Kevin* Cruz and Brittany Galante, won a student contest in which they were selected to paint the mural on the storage sheds located near the basketball courts at The Clarke Field House. "Through events we do, you are able to network with people who are in thefieldyou're interested in," stated Lauren Reynoso, Arts Association President. Although the club executives haven't met yet to discuss this semester's calendar, Reynoso would like to collaborate with SDSU and UCSD in the future, who both have student art organizations, and create a San Diego Art Association. Meetings are held bi-weekly on Thursdays at noon in ART 342. Students can join by emailing Marilyn Huerta at mhuerta@csusm.edu, Prowlin' the Kitchen Lauren Reynoso at reyno46@cougars.csusm.edu or by showing up at a meeting. The Arts Association is currently looking tofillthe secretary and creative director position. The Arts Association will be participating in the "Leave Your Mark" events held on September 21, in the Library Plaza from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. "If there's a student who has an idea to do something, bring it to the table and we'll try and make it happen," said Huerta.

Harry Brown EEK u npMnQpnfem^m m^mmmm^^^mM nmm m ifl^NDjTHE iöHtf ROÄDjTI MmmMimm w Ku DVDS �the truth about raves BY CANDICE WYATT ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR The rave movement has turned what were once underground dance parties into nationalized events involving tens of thousands of attendees. The recent Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) held at the LA Coliseum on June 25 and 26,2010, attracted over 135,000 attendees, making it the largest rave in North America. Unfortunately, a 15-year old girl overdosed on ecstacy and within days headlines filled Southern California newspapers and the LA Coliseum put a temporary ban on raves at the venue. The reputable venue EDC was held at and the 18 and over age requirement did not prevent this fatality. "Drug use can have risks but that doesn t make raves unsafe, it makes drug use potentially unsafe," said Nathan Messer, President of DanceSafe, a non-profit harm reduction organization. DanceSafe has addressed the rising concern that drug use is a dangerous and prevalent occurrence in the rave scene. The organizations Web site, www.dancesafe.org, uses education and awareness as the key to making raves a safer environment. The site has drug information, health and safety tips, as well as drug screening test kits that can take a small amount of an ecstasy pill and test it for other potentially dangerous additives. "We neither condone nor condemn drug use. Rather, we believe that each person should make their own choices, and that people DO make better choices when given pointers to good information," stated Messer. A few unfortunate events have given raves a poor reputation for being a drug-centric, unsafe environment and has lead police, legislatures and local communities to fight against the new culture of electronic dance music. The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Justice, released "Rave Parties: A ProblemOriented Guide for Police," in 2002. "The use of rave-related drugs has not been strongly linked to other crimes and unlike other youth events or other types of concerts, raves do not typically involve much assault," stated Michael S. Scott, a former chief of police and author of the COPS "Rave Parties" guide. "Rave culture discourages sexual aggressiveness, and while some drugs do lower sexual inhibitions, they also can inhibit sexual performance. So in some respects, raves are safer places for young people, especially women, than conventional bars and clubs," stated Scott. The acronym that the rave culture lives by is PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect). Responsibility was added to the mantra in the late 1990s to increase awareness of drug overdoses at raves. A junior at CSUSM majoring in Literature and Writing, who chose to be referred to by her given rave name, Raggedy Ann, has attended five raves. "I like the music at raves. Its like every time I go to the club they play crappy rap music that I don t want to dance to. People [at raves] are all really nice and just want to dance," said Ann. "I don t feel like the amount of security or police affects the quality of a rave. They are there to make sure there are no fights and to just have a presence." For first time ravers, expect a high entrance fee. Raves are often accompanied by extravagant light shows and various DJs. The music is loud, so bringing a pair of earplugs along will protect your hearing. "Ravers should be advised to wear loose-fitting clothing, drink plenty of water if they are sweating, and take breaks from dancing to rest and cool off. Rave-related drug users should also eat salty foods to prevent hyponatraemia," stated Scott. In addition, you should also be able to spot warning signs to a potentially dangerous rave environment. "If it is so overcrowded that it is impossible to get to exits easily, if fire doors are locked or blocked, if security isn't searching for weapons, if cold water is shut off in the restrooms, if bottled water is sold without the caps so you can t refill it and carry it with you, all of these are bad signs. Also, some sorts of medical staff should be present for any event with more than about 500 people," stated Messer. The upcoming Abstract Festival will be held on September 11, 2010, at the San Diego Sports Arena from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. There will be two stages and you must be 18 to attend. A full bar will be available for those who are 21 and over. Tickets can be purchased on abstractfest.com and prices range from $40 to $90.

SLL ENCOURAGES INVOLVMENT Students offered services and information at Leave Your Mark fair THIS ISSUE SOCIAL JUSTICE CENTERS FEATURES, R 3 V u l • . mu BY A MY SALISBURY E DITOR- I N-CHIEF The library plaza buzzed with new and returning students alike during the Leave Your Mark fair last Thursday, Sept. 2. Under a white tent sat more than 30 tables with representatives from organizations associated with CSUSM. The event's purpose was to showcase many opportunities for students to "leave their mark" on the CSUSM campus and further their involvement, according to Student Life and Leadership. Student Life and Leadership, SLL, sponsored the event and coordinated a mass photograph of incoming freshmen on the steps outside University Hall. Free 20th Anniversary t-shirts were distributed to the freshman, and Crash the Cougar was front and center in the photograph. "Witnessing the first year student picture was quite a sight!" said Kathryn Hayes, SLL student representative and President of Sigma Tau Delta, English Honor Society. Hayes was pleased with the success of the event. "It was nice to see the enthusiasm from thefirstyear students, as well as returning students, going through all the tables and taking advantage of the hosted events," said Hayes. SLL staff members Joshua Galea'i and Jennie Goldman ensured that the event went smoothly and all participating parties were well represented. Four rows of tables beneath the tent offered information about their services from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. while a live band, Live in Los Angeles provided music. Hope and Wellness Center, Math Lab, Writing Center, Eco Club, and PRIDE Center were but a few of the organizations participating in the event. Melanie Slocum, a tutor at the Writing Center, was happy to have participated and predicts the fair will have a positive outcome on new students. "Hopefully now students won't have second thoughts about using resources like The Writing Center because they were able to meet a few of us and learn that we don't really bite," said Slocum. SLL's Weeks of Welcome events continue through Friday, Sept. 9. For more information, visit the SLL office in Craven 3400.

A total of six majors are now impacted at CSUSM: Communications and Mass Media, both Bachelor of Arts, join Business Administration, Kinesiology, Nursing, and Human Development. "Impacted" is a term used to describe a major that has more qualified students interested than can be accommodated for. Since CSUSM wants to preserve a quality classroom experience, certain screening requirements are now being enforced. In easier terms, Communications and Mass Media are now in the top ten most popular majors for CSUSM, showing clearly that currently there is not enough faculty support to supply the demand of the students interested in either growing major. Screening criteria includes a requirement of 60-se- mester of baccalaureate-level coursework applicable toward a degree at CSUSM and completion of coursework equivalent to the lower-division preparatory coursework for the Communication and Mass Media major. A list of the major prep classes can be found at www. csusm.edu/admissions/impaction/impactedmajors .html A minimum GPA of 2.5 needs to be achieved in the major prep classes in order for students to apply and be accepted officially into the major. Without completion of major prep courses, and meeting the minimum GPA requirements, students cannot enroll in upper division major core classes. Since this limits freshmen and sophomores to even declare Communications or Mass Media until they have finished the prep classes and are in junior class standing, until requirements have been fulfilled, they can be admitted as "PreCommunications" or "Pre-Mass Media." �FEATURES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2010 EDITORIAL STAFF Editors-in-Chief Amy Salisbury Sandra Chalmers csusmpride@gmail.com Features Editor Toria Bodden features.pride@gmaiLcom Arts and Entertainment Editor Candice Wyatt artsandentertainment.pride@gmail. com • Copy Editor Amy Salisbury Artistic Design and Layout Jillian Kerstetter pridelayout@gmail.com Sales Representative Sandra Chalmers pride_ads@csusm.edu Digital Media Management Jenna Jauregui Ride Staff Photographer Aaron Jaffe Advisor Joan Anderson All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, respresent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University: San Marcos.

Having the two departments work together to provide students with experiences that can help them navigate sensitive issues makes perfect sense to Marilyn Huerta, the Arts and Lectures coordinator and faculty advisor to the Arts Association. "Arts and Lectures is committed to sponsoring a program that speaks to issues that are raised on campus, and the Social and Equity Justice Project is one way of addressing some of the heated issues that were present on our campus just last year."

PROWLIN' THE KITCHEN OATMEAL: SO CHEAP, SO SWEET! BY J ENNA JAUREGUI D IGITAL M EDIA M ANAGER When faced with a tight food budget, many college students turn to Ramen noodles and the fast-food dollar menu—meals that satisfy the wallet but not always the appetite. If you are among the droves of starving students who find their bank accounts running dry after buying parking permits and textbooks, allow me to introduce you to an old friend you may have forgotten: oatmeal! A delicious, hot comfort food, oatmeal is an incredibly filling, nutritious grain that can substitute as breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. According to versagrain.com, oats provide both soluble fiber, which lowers bad cholesterol, and insolublefiberthat can keep you... "regular/' In addition, oats boost your immune system, provide several vitamins and minerals, and may help prevent certain cancers. Quick oats can be cooked in just minutes, and smart shoppers can bring the price per bowl down to mere pennies. Here are three sweet ideas to zing up this great grain and add even more nutrients.

Pop the bowl in the microwave, and you have a delicious hot meal in just minutes. Have fun experimenting! Ciao, my oatmeal-savvy students! The Cookin'Cougar N OW PLAYIN HE WAS GIVEN AN OFFER H E COU wmmS BY M ILA P ANTO V ICH P RIDE STAFF W RITER Robert Rodriguez is clearly doing what he loves to do most in "Machete," his most recent homage to the B-films of the 1960s and 1970s. Derived from a fake trailer that he created for the "Grindhouse" double-feature released with friend Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez took full advantage of every Mexican stereotype he could think of, surrounding them with needless nudity and absurdly comical violence. The film is crude, disgusting, campy and immensely entertaining. Machete (Danny Trejo) is an ex-Federale who vows vengeance on the drug lord, Torrez (Steven Seagal), who PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMAZON.COM IlftSfilY TREJO «s BACHETE brutally killed his wife and daughter. Until he can get to Torrez, Machete spends his time roaming a parking lot in Texas looking for work with other illegal immigrants from Mexico. He finds himself hired by the nasty and conniving Booth (Jeff Fahey of "Lost") to assassinate the bigoted Texan Senator, McLaughlin (Robert De Niro). However, when Machete realizes that he has been used as a 4» political pawn to further Senator McLaughlin's re-election campaign, his need for retribution is kicked into overdrive and Machete is joined by freedomfighterLuz (Michelle Rodriguez), Padre the priest who knows how to wield 12-gauge shotguns (Cheech Marin), ICE agent (Jessica Alba) and Booth's junkie, internet porn star daughter (Lindsay Lohan). Instead of relying on plot or character development, which are two elements completely ignored in this film, "Machete" depends upon the exploitive humor of using Mexican stereotypes as a running joke. With decapitated heads flying, weed-whackers as weapons and cell phones being hidden within orifices of the female body, the only thing needed to know about this film is that the plot is irrelevant and the humor is worth the ticket price. �ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT THE PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,2010 D ROPPING THIS WEEK BY REBEKAH GREENE j>RIDE STAFF WRITER Interpol - Self-titled Interpol's fourth studio album, self-titled "Interpol," is a perfect display how the band has evolved since theirfirststudio album "Turn on the Bright Lights" was released in 2002. Listeners will recognize the band's familiar sound, but "Interpol" will touch on more orchestral inspired sounds. This is also the last album including bassist Carlos Dengler who decided to pursue new projects. Dengler had been with Interpol since the band's beginnings. Thefirstsingle, "Lights," was released in May followed by "Barricade" released this summer. Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart Ever since her single, "Love Song," hit the airwaves, Sara Bareilles gained top chart attention with her catchy tunes, relatable lyrics and beautiful use of the piano. "Kaleidoscope Heart" is Bareilles' second studio album with Epic Records, and the first single, "King of Anything" gives off an empowering feel yet still manages to sound upbeat and positive.

The application also features a new QuickPay service that allows users to send money to anyone with an email address, regardless of who they bank with.

Plus, I like the attention when I'm running around in my underwear," said Cassandra Klingbeil, Rocky Horror Cast member since 2008. The show begins with a humorous introduction explaining the show rules, which aren't many. Then there's the induction of the "virgins" who have never been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show before which often includes bananas, whip cream and good 'ole fashioned spankings. "First timers can expect confusion. Utter confusion. Some of the stuff people are yelling might offend them. Some stuff might make you laugh your ass off," said Cassidy. A few other games, such as "unhook that bra," will get the audience fired up for the show. The show will be anything but quiet, motionless entertainment. As an THE PRIDE PHOTOS BY CANDICE WYATT audience member, you will yell callbacks, throw stuff and dance the "Time Warp." If you don't have things to throw or don't know how to do the dance, don't worry. Goody bags full of items to throw at specific times during the movie are available to purchase for $2 and the "Time Warp" steps are easy and the movie shows you how to do it. "It's an audience participation movie. I stopped going for the movie a million years ago. It's all because of the people and the friendships you develop," said Cassidy. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is held every Friday at midnight at La Paloma Theater and admission is $9. The second Friday of every month is Lingerie Night, where cast members and audience members come dressed in street legal lingerie.

XXIV NO. 3 STUDENT LOANS: OUR LAST SOURCE Student dependence on borrowed money rising BY ASHLEY DAY PRIDE STAFF WRITER In today's world, some American college students have no choice but to take out student loans to fuel their secondary education. With institutions dangling "instant" money accompanied with low interest rates, students have an enticing offer that develops debt very early in life. Parents, teachers and elders tell youth that attending college and getting a degree is the key to success. Anthony P. Carnevale, a research professor and director of Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, said, "College credentials are now a prerequisite for a middle class lifestyle." According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 70.1 percent of America's youth choose to pursue a college education.Finaid.org reveals 58.8 percent of undergraduate students take out loans to fund their life through college.

Financial Aid can walk you through the process of securing a loan. I would say it's fairly easy." Alisha Madison, a second year student at San Diego State University agrees with Rapp. "On a scale from 1-10,10 being the easiest, my loan process was probably an 8 .1 just had to pretty much click, activate and read the terms.

[Me] having to take out a loan has not changed any plans." Rapp feels the same way. She said, "Not in this century! People are broke. I don't think majors have anything to do with taking out a loan. Students depend on loans to live. If that's their only means to pay for education and to survive, then they have to go with it." More than 50 percent of the student population relies on loans to fund their way throughout college. Some of the reasons are their parents make too. much money, as determined by the federal government, or students' parents do not support them at all. These students decide to take on a loan. A clock on iinaid.org ticks the balance on" student loan debt. 850 trillion dollars is the latest estimate. Even so, this does not stop students from taking the loans. " I'd rather be taking out loans for school than not being able to go to school at all. Education is the most important thing anyone can have right now and I 'm not going to let the fear of being in debt affect my choice," Madison said. PHOTO BY • MASSAGEMARKETINGMENTOR. COM The Annual Health Expo BY MAYA LIFTON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Thursday was a good day at Cal State San Marcos as the annual health expo took place in the library plaza. The fair provided free food, massages, contests, and much more. 40 different organizations showed up to this event, each holding individual booths, which offered information on a particular aspect of health. Some of these organizations included North County health services, Children's Physicians medical group, The Clarke, and the Nürsing department. The nursing department had information on the amount of calories a person should be taking in per day. This number is based on your height, weight, and gender. Chelsea Witwer, a nursing student who helped put the booth together, told The Pride a shocking probability. "You don't think about what you're drinking. You can drink over half your calories per day, and people don't know this," said Witwer. People are misinformed about the amount of sugar drinks contain. They tend to misjudge the effect one drink could have on the body and drink to no limit. As a result, this misinformation has led to the obesity problem we face today. Witwer also provided information pertaining to the amount of calories certain drinks have, such as Starbucks coffee and Coca-Cola. "Between Starbucks coffee, Coca-Cola, Budweiser beer, and Snappie Iced Tea, Starbucks has the most calories." Even so, Witwer said there are 10 tablespoons of sugar in a Coca-Cola. A Better Tomorrow, another organization at the expo, is a treatment center that specializes in substance abuse and helps treat addiction.

Comprised of many different vendors selling their locally grown and homemade wares, farmers' markets offer consumers the rare opportunity to purchase food and goods direct from the source—fostering a human connection between consumers and those who nurtured their products to ripe perfection. This creates a unique shopping experience that keeps you, the environment, and the local economy strong and healthy. CSUSM hosts the San Marcos Certified Farmers' Market once a week. The market just celebrated its first anniversary, and hopes to continue raising student awareness and support of its services. Lome Scott, who manages this market as well as those in Valley Center and City Heights, describes'the market as a "nice environment," offering an exciting sensoiy experience of colorful sights, delicious flavors, and pleasant conversation. According to her, the market includes around 25 vendors selling "handmade artisan jewelry and clothes, really good artisan bread, local honey, an awesome variety of hummus, homemade butter with garlic, rosemary, or basil, sweet almond butter that's awesome on pancakes, award winning salsa with chips and tortillas, tamales, smoked fish with flavors that will really knock your socks off, oils, balsamic vinegars, stainless steel water bottles, really cool woven bags for shopping, and all kinds of recycled stuff and environmentally conscious items." If the food itself isn't enpugh to entice you to explore the plethora of outdoor stands, Scott invites students to consider the economic benefits of shopping at the farmers market. "The .dollar spent on a local business in the community has three times the impact on the local economy than if that money gets spent in a nationwide chain or big box store," she said. The more support the market receives, the more it can expand and gain more vendors. Buylocalthinkglobal.com describes how buying local food from farmers' markets benefits the environment as well as the economy. The site explains, "Transporting food long distarlces uses an incredible amount of fossil fuel that releases pollutants into the atmosphere contributing to global climate change and air pollution." Fresh, locally grown food is also a better choice for a healthy lifestyle. According to Scott, "The majority of the nutrients are still available when it's fresh, where as when it's been sitting around on the grocery shelf for a week, the nutrients get reduced every day after it is picked. The more alive your food is, the more alive you are!" The CSUSM Farmers' Market is held every Wednesday afternoon in the front parking lot off Craven Rd. Its operating hours are 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 1 p.m. to sunset in the winter season. Visit the market's information booth to learn about the Fresh Fund Program and other options available to federal assistance recipients (WIC, SSI, and EBT). The farmers' market also offers demonstrations and activities ranging from cooking demos to musical performances. To receive advance notice about these events, sign up for the e-mail list at the market. Notices will be sent weekly on Wednesday morning. Next on the event calendar is a dance demo on September 22.

PHOTO B Y TORIA BODDEN Prowlin' the kitchen Farmer's Market special: bruschettà BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER Farmers' markets are steadily gaining popularity as more people venture out from under the grocery store's fluorescent lights and into the world of open-air shopping. Featuring locally grown and often organic produce, farmers' markets are the perfect place to find fresh, healthy choices and support the local agricultural community. The farmers' market experience stimulates every sense—the colorful array of food, the free samples of homegrown goods, and the pleasant conversation with local growers all help you to remember where your food comes from and appreciate its roots. During this late summer season, local markets have an abundance of tomatoes, herbs, and other garden goodies. This week's recipe features ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. According to healthfood-guide .com, tomatoes are high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cancer. Studies have also suggested that tomatoes may help fight aging and degenerative diseases. Fresh, organic produce from the farmers market guarantees that the tomato's nutrient power is" at its peak! What better way to highlight this juicy fruit than a delicious batch of bruschettà? Although the name may sound fancy, bruschettà is one of the simplest, quickest ways to use your farmers' market finds. Enjoy this tasty Italian creation as an appetizer, a side dish, or a hearty snack! Fresh Bruschettà 1 clove of garlic, minced 1 tbs olive oil 2 large ripe tomatoes, finely chopped Vi cup chopped fresh basil Vi cup crumbled cheese (like feta,ricotta,or goat cheese) salt and pepper to taste crusty bread Combine garlic, olive oil, chopped tomatoes, and basil until well mixed and season with salt and pepper. Spoon onto slices of warmed, toasted crusty bread and serve. Feel free to experiment and add olives, onion, or other extras to the tomato mixture! Savor the fresh taste, and appreciate that your ingredients were grown with extra love and care. Ciao, my bruschettà babes! See you at the next farmers' market!

Hastings (Nebraska) falls to 1-4. Despite the short turnaround time, the Cougars for the most part looked sharp, generating numerous scoring chances and Penalty kick downs Cougar women in overtime BY MICHAEL RAWSON In the afternoon game, a controversial call minutes into the first overtime handed the Master's College women the victory over the Lady Cougars, 1-0. Looking sluggish after a successful road trip to Arizona, Cougar men hold Master's College scoreless in tie BY MICHAEL RAWSON The men's soccer team took a big step defensively on Wednesday night, holding #22 The Master's College to a 0-0 draw in double overtime. But they sure could have used Brandon Zuniga. Last year's team MVP and star forward ran out of eligibility after the 2009 season, and Ron Pulvers knows it won't be easy to replace him. "Players like him showing flashes of real quality in the open field. CSUSM out-shot Hastings 22-4 and held a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks. The game's lone goal came late in the first half. A nice buildup resulted in Natalya Erbel feeding a pass to Rachel Schulte, who knocked it across the face of the goal to Lauren Johnson. Johnson expertly controlled the pass, and from the right side of the goal finished with a slicing shot past the keeper into the leftside netting. That would be all the scoring, as the second half saw the Cougars generate plenty more chances but not quite be able to finish. Keeper Kaycee Gunion was rock solid as usual in net, making a pair of saves and consistently making the right decisions. Cougar women's soccer will face a big test this Wednesday at home against Point Loma. Kickoff is at 3 PM. Pulvers' side spent most of the game in the middle of the field. The two teams traded mostly weak chances during regulation. Three minutes into overtime, Master's pushed the ball up toward the Cougar goal. A Mustang player went down near the 18-yard line. The foul looked like it could have been a free kick, but the official pointed to the penalty box. Andie Reyes easily put the chance into the right corner past All-American keeper Kaycee Gunion, who dove left. "For me, in an overtime game like that, you have to be one hundred percent committed to the penalty," said Pulvers. "I thought there were too many questions about whether or it was or not for it to be called, [but] we put ourselves in a bad spot on that particular play." "And whether the penalty was a penalty...that's certainly a questionable situation, but we TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2010 should have never been in that position to begin with, because we were just lazy in recovering defensively," said Pulvers. Amanda Diamond stopped five shots to record the shutout for the Mustangs. Gunion also saved five. The Cougars will play anmomentum and managing just two shots on goal. After a late foul in overtime, Cougar Captain Bradley Seidenglanz had the game's best chance on the ensuing free kick, but sent it sailing inches over the crossbar. Andrew Bussell made two key saves for CSUSM. Master's Defender Brian Gardner nearly put the game away in overtime, but his long attempt from the left side bounced harmlessly off the right post. The Master's College really come around once in awhile," the Head Coach told The Pride. "We'll miss him." The young Cougars (22-1) sorely missed his presence at Mangrum Field on Wednesday, failing to mount any offensive Late Comeback Comes Up Short as Men's Soccer Falls to Westmont BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a big crowd in Santa Barbra, Cal State San Marcos men's soccer came up short against a good Westmont team, losing 2-1 on the road last Saturday. CSUSM is now 2-3-1 on the year. Westmont is 3-0-2. The Cougars got into a 2-0 hole, starting with a penalty kick goal from West- mont Doug Harrell in the 39th minute. Westmont added its second early in the second half, as a corner kick was headed into the lower corner of the net by Anthony Niboli in the 59th minute. CSUSM would respond though, as Sterling Petersen scored following a throw-in in the 79th minute, giving him his first goal as a Cougar. But CSUSM couldn't notch the equalizer, falling by that 2-1 margin. Kevin Ernst made 6 saves in net for the Coguars.

Coach Pulvers enjoyed the performance of his young defense. "At the spine of our team, we play freshman, sophomore, freshman, sophomore," he said after the game. "[The Team's] work ethic ...has been awesome all season long. We've just showed some real inexperience in the games we've lost. Today, they showed a lot of maturity in being able to close the defending national runner-up to a draw." leading 7-3 in corner kicks. Taylor Schurman led the Cougars with three shots.

Having been together for nearly 10 years, The Walkmen's unique sound has been compared to that of The Cure, but they continue to stay themselves while making new additions to their sound with each album, choosing to break away from the more familiar independent and garage types of music like The Hives or The Strokes. They toured in support of their album to a few festivals last spring, including All Tomorrow's Parties in England, and Lollapalooza in Chicago. This month, The Walkmen are touring around the U.S., as well as Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. In support of their new album, The Walkmen are selling copies of "Lisbon" with original designs from etsy.com (check them out! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWalkmen). Weezer - "Hurley" - Epitaph Records When you see the cover of Weezer's new album there is no need to double take. Indeed, it is a photo of Jorge Garcia also known as "Hurley" from the television series "Lost." Whether or not there is a connection between this character and the album, "Hurley" is Weezer's eighth anticipated album. Weezer as a band has existed since 1992 and although they have expressed influence from The Pixies, Nirvana and Green Day, with each album their sound manages to stay original, yet always evolving. "Hurley," which is up for preview on their Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/weezer) shows off Weezer's signature rock sound that still manages to be new and even fun. The album also features Michael Cera providing back-up vocals on one of the tracks. The deluxe edition of "Hurley", which can be purchased on Itunes, includes a few bonus tracks and a cover of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida." Linkin Park - "A Thousand Suns" - Warner Bros. Records These days one needs only to mention Linkin Park and the tunes of "In The End," "Faint," and "Numb" begin ringing through ears. September 14th is the release date of their latest studio album "A Thousand Suns." Linkin Park, already known for their impacting lyrics and unique musical style, seem to have done it again. Many critics already praise this new album for its sound and impressive writing. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda continue to share vocals, which can be heard on the album's first single "The Catalyst," released this past August, along with other songs on the album. The band also worked off of their influence from the renowned hip-hop group, Public Enemy. Following "Minutes to Midnight," "A Thousand Suns" cumulates nearly two years of writing and recording into a fourth full-length album from the band known for their mixture of rock, rap and other devices, making Linkin Park a name to be recognized. CDS A ND DVDS "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" - Mike Newell "Just Wright" - Sanaa Hamri "Letters to Juliet" - Gary Winick "Just Wright" stars Queen Latifah as Leslie Wright, a physical therapist not seeking to "belong" to a man, living with her god-sister Morgan. Rapper Common plays Scott, a professional basketball player who takes a romantic interest in Morgan. Following a threatening injury that could affect Scott's career, he begins to see that Morgan was only in interested in him for the money and fame, and that Leslie, his new physical therapist, is the one who truly wants what is best for him and his future. The chemistry between the two actors (and music icons) flows well within the story and the feel of the film. This i s director Sanaa Hamri's seventh film, following works such as "Something New" and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." "Just Wright" is a film with a simple romantic plot that still has its charms. Sophie Hall visits Italy with her fiancée and encounters romance in a very unexpected way, turning into a sort of "Juliet" after finding a lost letter amongst the many love letters placed in the supposed real home of Juliet Capulet. Following this discovery, Sophie eventually finds the sender, Claire, and decides to help the woman find her long lost love, Lorenzo Bartolini. Along the way Sophie too discovers more about herself and her feelings as she travels alongside Claire's grandson Charlie. Director Gary Winick's previous works include "13 Going On 30," "Charlotte's Web," and "Bride Wars." Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan and Vanessa Redgrave star in this sweet tale of discovering love -old and new - 2nd trusting destiny. A M A N D A S EYFRIED A NO VANESSA REDGRAVE Letters Juliet Based off of the "Prince of Persia" video game series, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" follows just about the same premise as the Ubisoft game franchise. The film tells the story of Dastan and his discovery of a sacred dagger that can turn back time. With this knowledge he winds up on an adventure with a princess named Tamina, and unveils a web of political treachery amongst his own family. This film comes from director Mike Newell ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire") and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films) and is distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is another action-driven, Disney-friendly film that both adults and kids can enjoy. �A&E THE PRIDE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2010 APP OF THE WEEK NetNewsWire BY JIMMY PIRAINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER Ever get tired of going to your favorite blogs and news sites only to be bombarded by pop-up ads and useless blinking banners?

A FTE R ESIDENT EVIL: BYMILAPANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER "Resident Evil: Afterlife" is the fourthfilmin the "Resident Evil" series, based off of the popular video game franchise. With three films preceding it, «T one would assume that the story has beenfinelytuned and perfected with years of experience. However, what the audience gets instead is afilmcompletely lacking in story, credible dialogue, believable characters, or any sense of depth beyond the welldone 3D animation. With characters speaking in stilted military commands and a story that grows tedious and repetitive, the film seems to only be a 3D platform for returning writer and director, Paul W.S. Anderson. The film follows Alice (Milla Jovovich) in her continued, and nearly pointless, struggle to take down the Umbrella Corporation. Alice spends the beginning of thefilmin search of Claire (Ali Larter) and the rest of the survivors that she was separated from at the end of the previous film. The group had gone in search of the elusive Arcadia, a place of promised refuge from the dangerous T-virus that turns people into zombie-like monsters. Upon finding Claire, Alice joins a group of people who are trapped in the middle of Los Angeles, surrounded by the infected masses, with no way of escape. Within this group of stock characters is an ex-sports star (Boris Kodjoe), an arrogant Hollywood producer (Kim Coates) and his timid intern (Norman Yeung), and Chris (Wentworth Miller), a man with familial connections to Claire that come across forced and entirely of convenience. Together, they discover the reality of Arcadia, while Alice is unknowingly pulled into yet another evil plan, orchestrated by the film's lifeless evildoer Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), of the Umbrella Corporation. Like the past "Resident Evil" films, the plot suffers greatly to the importance of the special effects used to give thefightscenes more impact. The director Paul W.S. Anderson makes good use of the James Cameron and Vince Pace 3D Fusion Camera System that was created for "Avatar," giving "Resident Evil: Afterlife" a visual depth that allow the viewers to feel a part of the action onscreen, thus being the only aspect keeping them from giving up on thefilmentirely. The use of 3D attempts to distract the viewers from the complete lack of story progression, where nothing is gained in the film and there is little point behind anything the characters experience. Slow motion is used in nearly every scene, quickly becoming an annoyance by dragging on selfimportant looks shared between characters as they shoot paths through the infected zombies closing in. The film can be broken into segments of fight scenes that fail to connect with one another, quickly killing characters off-screen, while moving along at a hurried pace towards the intended climax. However, with the credits rolling 20 minutes too soon, the end comes without warning and fails to satisfy, leaving the audience without any sort of resolution to the 97 minutes they just endured. When it comes to actual story, there seems to be nothing left to squeeze from the tired "Resident Evil" franchise and yet, the promise of a fifth installment ends the film as a looming threat. There is no doubt that another sequel is in the works, preparing to throw Alice in the middle another battle with an unreachable end to the franchise. Ultimately, the "Afterlife" that the title promises is completely joyless and without refuge - for the characters and the audience. Happy Hour of the Week Thirsty Thursdays at the Pacific Beach Bar & Grill BY TRIXIE GONZALES PRIDE STAFF WRITER Fridays usually indicate the weekend for many, but for college students the official weekend begins Thursday. PB Bar & Grill in Pacific Beach holds Thirsty Thursdays every week and invite college students ages 21 and over from all over the county to partake in their weekly drink deals and festivities. PB Bar & Grill is located about a block away from the beach at 860 Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach. It consists of three bars, an outside patio, a dance floor and areas where one can dine or play pool. In addition, they provide various types of music including a juke box inside the dining area and two DJ's, one spinning on the patio and the other on the dancefloor.The bar has an enormous amount of space, which make it easy to meander throughout the different areas. The bartenders always provide an outstanding performance for their customers by constantly engaging them in conversation while promoting an energetic environment and never lacking a smile. In contrast, security is very strict in order to permit a safe atmosphere for people to enjoy their time without having any concerns. One great factor about PB Bar & Grill is that there is always a diversity of new people to see and meet, the vast majority being very friendly and outgoing, according to Karla Cordero, a Liberal Arts major at CSUSM and a regular PB Bar & Grill customer. She states, "I absolutely love it there, I also like the fact that I always meet new people and it is very affordable for me as a college student. The drinks and the beach are the two main reasons why I am there almost every Thursday." The music they play differentiates every time from top 40 artists, to classic rock and old school rap. "The music at PB Bar & Grill keeps me intrigued because they play a wide variety every time I go, which I find remarkable since most places I have gone to play the same tunes over and over again," said Karla. In addition to their music, another attracting factor to the bar on Thursdays is that they offer impressive prices on their food and drinks. Specials consists of sushi that starts at $3.95 and, when one buys two or more rolls they get any popular or hand roll free. Not to mention that after 8 p.m. all drinks are half off and shots are $3 off as well. They do have other specials on a daily basis and throughout the week their menu includes 20 types of drafted beers and ciders, along with appetizers, burgers, fries, tacos, ribs, and chicken. PB Bar & Grill has one of the most outgoing and fun atmospheres in San Diego County. For the third consecutive year The San Diego Union Tribute has voted PB Bar & Grill one of the top places to go for Happy Hour. They provide great service, play a PHOTO COURTESY OF PROMOWHOLESALE.COM wide variety of music, have affordable drink specials and it's a great way for students to get out of North county and see a different part of San Diego, So come to PB bar and grill on Thirsty Thursday and you will have a blast!

Her case woken up the community, and raised awareness to make stricter laws monitoring registered sex offenders. For example, a sex offender can receive lifetime parole with a GPS tracking system so that offenders can be monitored for the rest of their lives. Before Chelsea's Law went into effect, there was monitoring of the parolees, but once their parole period ended, the tracking did too. Many speculator believe if more in depth monitoring was done in the case of Gardner, it possibly could have prevented the death of Chelsea King. Under Chelsea's Law, convicted sex offenders on parole are restricted from entering into any parks. Other rules include the evaluation of offenders under California's mentally disordered offender law when deemed necessary by assessment. The first San Diego case to be put on trial under Chelsea's law took place Sept 15. A registered sex offender was given 25 years to life in prison, when prior to Chelsea's law, he would have been given 15 years in prison. �NEWS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 2010 EDITORIAL STAFF Amy Salisbury Sandra Chalmers csusmpride#gmail .com ^ Featurés Editor Toria Bodden features .pride@gmail .com Aits and Entertainment Editpr Vanessa Chalmers artsandentertainment .pride @ gmail.com Copy Editor Amy Salisbury Artistic Design and Layout Jillian Kerstetter pridelayout@ gmail .com Sales Representative Sandra Chalmers pride_ads@csusm.edu Media Management Jenna Jauregui Pride Staff Photographer Aaron Jaffe Cartoonist Faith Orcino Pride Staff Writers Ashley Day Devörine Edora Chris Giancamilli Trixie Gonzalez Rebekah Greene , " ; - !

Just the word itself inspires a wealth of images: bountiful baskets of fresh-picked fruit, the warm scent of fresh-baked pie, and the crisp deliciousness of that first bite. An essential part of any fruit bowl, apples are chock-full of health benefits that can keep your immune system revved as we head into colder months. There's a reason why people say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" Health food website whfoods.com says that an apple, especially the skin, contains several antioxidants that support heart health. Containing only about 80 calories each, apples are a dieter's delight. Their high fiber content helps to suppress the appetite and control choles- terol levels. They help to stabilize blood sugar, and eating a raw apple can even help keep your teeth clean! Now that fall is upon us, apple-inspired recipes are enticing people to the cozy realm of their kitchens . September marks the peak of apple season, so now is the time to enjoy the fruit while it is in its prime. Here are two scrumptious ways to get that homey, nostalgic flavor of apple goodness without the hours of effort. Apple Pancakes * 1 cup flour * 3 eggs * 1 cup skim milk * 1 medium apple, cored and sliced in thin rings * cinnamon and nutmeg to taste Combine the flour, eggs, and milk until they form a creamy batter. Add the spices, and pour by VA cup measurements into a non-stick skillet. Place a few apple rings in each pancake before flipping. Serve immediately with hot maple syrup. Microwave Baked Apples * 2 medium apples, peeled and cored * 2 Tbsp. butter * 2 Tbsp. brown sugar * 1 tsp cinnamon * 1 tsp nutmeg * Vi cup raisins or dried cranberries * Vi cup graham cracker crumbs Combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until crumbly. Place the apples in a deep microwavable dish with a tiny bit of water on the bottom. Sprinkle apples with the sugar crumble and more spices if needed. Stuff the cranberries or raisins into the hole where the core was. Cover with a lid and microwave for 3.5 to 4 minutes until tender. Cool slightly before serving. Top with graham cracker crumbs.

CSUSM Women's soccer plays Biola to 0-0 tie BY KYLE TREMBLEY The goal-scoring drought continued for CSUSM women's soccer on Saturday, as the squad played Biola University to a 0-0 tie in front of the home crowd at Mangrum Field. _ On the twelfth-ranked men's side, for the second straight week the Cougars beat their time from last year by over a minute, finishing eighth with a team time of 2:07:29. Leading the way for the second straight week was Western Nelson, who placed thirtysixth with a time of 25:04. Next on the team was Brett Campfield, who bested his time from last week by a significant margin, running 25:20 to take fifty-sixth. The two-time track andfieldAll-American should continue to make an impact in his first season running crosscountry for the Cougars. Third on the team was Jonathan Alpizar, who placed sixty#13-ranked CSUSM is now 4-1-4 on the season. Biola is 3-2-1. CSUSM has been struggling to replace dynamic freshman forwards Amy Young and Dani Porter, both of whom are injured. The Cougars have scored just two goals in their last five games. However, the squad has posted a respectable 2-1-2 record in that span, thanks largely to a staunch back line that played another excellent game on Saturday. Led by captain Michele SPORTS THE PRIDE PHOTOS PROVIDED BY AARON JAFFE sixth with a time of 25:33.1. Rounding out the top-5 for the Cougars were Lenny Santana at 25:51 (eighty-third) and Michael Hansen at 25:59 (ninety-third). Also competing for the Cougars were Polo Mariscal (26:01), Ryan Jensen (26:02), Ismael Rodriguez (26:06), Eddie Mariscal (26:13), Dustin Blankenship (26:23), Armando Lara (26:27), Joshua Bollinger (26:34), Valente Villalobos (27:00), David Cummings (27:07), Tyler Schieldge (27:34), Dave Slack (27:53), Saul Oros (28:46), and Mark Shimmin (29:12)r The men's race was won by BYU, with the host school com- ing in second. For the number two-ranked CSUSM women, the Cougars were a couple minutes behind last year's time at this event, though it was the first race of the season for star runner Cady Villarreal.

The band itself has come a long way since 2002, yet they managed to get through the struggles of a newly formed band, eventually claiming two Grammy wins. For this new album, the band worked with Robert John "Mutt" Lange, a notable producer who previously worked with the likes of AC/ DC and Bryan Adams (who also happens to be Shania Twain's ex-husband). "Hands All Over" blends the genres of funk and rock in familiar Maroon 5 fashion. The band toured the end of this past summer, and beginning Oct. 6, they will perform in many cities along the west coast (see http://www.maroon5.com/ shows/ for more show dates). Singles "Misery" and "Give A Little More" were released this past summer and both songs will be accompanied by music videos.

The plot of "The Town" is conventional and from the first scene follows along the expected path. However, where the film truly shines is the stellar acting amongst the ensemble cast, giving multiple facets to the characters. Playing Doug's father, Chris Cooper appears in just one very short scene and makes such an emotional impact with his performance that even Doug is stunned into silence by its strength. Jeremy Renner gives a volatile unpredictability to James, the friend who doesn't need a reason to beat a person near to death. Instead of playing the character one-dimensionally, Renner lends James a surprising vulnerability seen in his fierce loyalty and love for Doug. Jon Hamm as FBI agent Adam Frawley also makes his memorable mark on the film, playing an agent who may just be as psychologically dangerous as the criminals he pursues. Another notable performance PHOTOS COURTESYOFAMAZON.COM belongs to Pete Postlethwaite ("Inception"), playing the quietly intimidating crime boss who orchestrates the heists and the lives of those in his employ. Filmed on location in Boston, Ben Affleck seems to make all the right choices in "The Town." His creation of tension, not only within the heist scenes but within the dialogue, keeps the audience excited about a plot that they have more than likely seen many times before. While Affleck may be a weak point in the film in terms of his character being outshone, he certainly makes up for it by insuring the rest of the cast makes lasting impressions without stepping upon one another's performances. The promise that Affleck reflected in his 2007 directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone" is completely confirmed and reinforced in "The Town," proving that his talent as afilmmakeris ever evolving, showing no signs of slowing down. "WALL S TREET: MONEY NEVER S LEEPS" BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER When Oliver Stone released "Wallstreet" in 1987, he introduced a film about stock markets that functioned very much like a political thriller. Now, 23 years later, Stone has released the long-awaited sequel, "Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps." Like "Wallstreet," Stone places the sequel firmly in the middle of an economic crisis and uses the panic and confusion felt in the industry to give the story an edge that is felt personally, if only slightly understood, by many Americans. With visuals of stocks plummeting in a business that depends upon greed and dishonesty, Stone uses the story of a broken family as the backbone and heart of the film. "Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps" presents the economy as a series of fast-paced split screens, showing the rapid rise and fall of companies through cheesy animation and diagrams. Filming stock traders as if they are mobsters, Oliver Stone gives a sense of foreboding to board meetings filled with arrogant young traders who continue thinking they're in control of the rapidly declining market. Stone, himself, has a small cameo as a trader and Charlie Sheen returns as a retired GORDON GEKKO IS BACK!

With the separation of game developer Bungie and publisher Microsoft Game Studios, another "Halo" game created with the same craftsmanship and quality will likely never grace the Xbox 360 console. With that sobering fact in mind, "Halo: Reach" delivers where all the other "Halo" games fall short. "Halo: Reach" is the prequel to the "Halo" trilogy, directly preceding the events of the original game. The player takes on the role of a faceless Spartan soldier by the name of Noble 6. He begins the game as an unwanted replacement for Noble Team, an elite group of Spartan soldiers who aré no strangers to war. The story takes place on planet Reach, a heavily defended human world untouched by war. But when Noble Team is sent to investigate an attack by local militia, they discover that the Covenant, an alien race led by religious zealots that call for the annihilation of the human race, is to blame. What is initially believed to be an isolated attack soon turns into a planetary invasion of unimaginable force. What ensues is a battle for the very survival of the human race as Noble Team is sent repeatedly behind enemy lines to save the planet from total destruction. "Halo: Reach" is by far Bungie's best work in the "Halo" series, which shows with im- HAPPY HOUR OF THE WEEK Pizza Nova BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Looking to chow down on comfort food and sip some local beer at a price a Cougar can afford, but don't want to stray far from campus? Head down Twin Oaks to the LA Fitness center. Pizza Nova's got you covered. The small San Diego chain's fourth location (and first in North County) opened its doors last year to little fanfare, but has slowly become a San Marcos favorite. As a prime-time lunch or dinner spot, Pizza Nova doesn't do things much differently than Sammy's Woodfired Pizza across town. But who cares which place has better dinner specials? We're talking happy hour, and a recent price drop at Pizza Nova has them looking like a real college town joint. They like to call it "$3 at 3." Weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m., dropping in won't set you back much unless you provements big and small found throughout the game. The most noticeable improvement is the graphics. The level designs are spectacular. Bungie used a cross between handpainted backgrounds and graphic animation to bring a new depth to the world. "Halo: Reach" escaped the confines of its predecessors by using much more diverse color schemes, which make the dramatic sequences pop that much more on the screen. To help draw the player deeper into the experience, Bungie pumped Noble Team with as much diversity as possible. Each Spartan is entirely unique and the player quickly grows attached to each member. But it isn't only the team members that get an overhaul, the player's character does so as well. Several key cut scenes have the player viewing events through Noble 6's eyes, bringing them so much closer to the action and the persona of Noble 6. The single player experience also includes highly upgraded enemies. Gone are the days when enemies' only tactic was to stand still and fire at the player. The enemies in "Reach" are given the same abilities and skill as the player, making the game much more challenging and exciting. Whether they are trying to flank behind the player's position, o r. sending in holograms to try and flush out the player, Noble 6 has his work cut out for him. But Bungie seemed to forget about the intelligence of the player's allies. On more than one occasion a hapless ally seemed to forget what they were doing, or decided that running the wrong way through a level was a good idea. There were also several instances where the ally seemed to get stuck at an invisible barrier, leaving Noble 6 alone in an enemy-infested area. Bungie took great care to throw in several new ways to spice up the single player campaign. Flying through space in a fighter jet protecting a space station from Covenant attack, flying between crumbling skyscrapers in a helicopter to rescue trapped Marines, or even dodging enemy fire to fix defensive turrets, Reach is sure to keep players at the edge of their seats with both gripping stoiy and perfected game play. "Halo: Reach" is available now for the Xbox 360 for $59.99. stumble out shirtless (please don't, they are family friendly).

And with these pridelayout@gmail.com GPS devices, you can download coordinates and follow the GPS Sales to find hidden capsules, also Representative known as geocaches that are usually full of cool little trinkets. Geocaching was created in 2000 by computer consultant Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek, Oreg. All he wanted to do was test the accuracy of his GPS by hiding a small canister with a few trinkets and a logbook in the woods near his house. After doing so, he uploaded the coordinates of the canister online, and asked people to try to find it. His Internet challenge was a great hit, and soon picked up speed all across the country and then the world. Today, geocaching has become a common social outing for groups of all ages. There are many great websites that allow for an easy download of geocache locations all over the country. Geocaching.com is one of the most well known sites. It utilizes Google Maps to help display the available geocaches, and allows people to comment and rate each geocache by difficulty and accuracy. In the San Marcos area alone, there are over 500 geocaches that are ready and waiting for teams of treasure hunters to find their hidden goodies. And when I say "goodies," know that it is a very loose term. I have found everything from bullet casings to a Fraggle Rock beer cozy. A common misconception with geocaching is that the GPS tells you exactly how to get to the geocache. That is so very far from the truth. It points to the exact location of the geocache, but it is up to the hiker to get there. Figuring out which trails lead to the geocache and how to find the geocache makes the experience that much more fun. The only deterrent to geocaching is the initial price of purchasing a GPS unit. I was at?le to find one on Amazon.com for under $75 that has worked extremely well during my geocaching excursions. And for those who aren't too sure about the small investment, try alternative GPS methods, such as a cell phone. While the GPS won't necessarily be as accurate, it will still provide you with a decent enough device to track down the geocaches. If you are looking for a great weekend activity in sunny San Marcos, grab a GPS and hit the trails. For more information, visit h ttp://www.geocaching.com.

This questionnaire consists of 66 questions, most of which ask you to pick one word that you think describes you best. The success factor questionnaire is made to assist students in understanding their grades and graduation rates. This questionnaire was made to help students understand the type of learners that they are. Some of the questions ask about grade point averages, studying habits, and majors. With this information, students will be able to learn how to succeed in school. In addition to these services, there are also events and workshops offered by the career center targeting students. These events are meant to inform and build knowledge about your personality traits.

Saia said he and his assistants are already recruiting players under NCAA rules, which are* more stringent in terms of documentation. Once admitted into the NCAA, Saia and his assistants will also have to follow strict guidelines regulating coach and player contact. So far the Cougars have 24 games scheduled in 2011-12, including eight at home. The eventual goal will be 30 scheduled games, Saia said, as well as to add a few more home games. Given that the new campus arena remains in the planning stages, the athletic department is still working on where to host home games. Possibilities include Palomar College, Mira Costa College, and local high schools, although a college would be preferred since high school courts have slight differences in size and would need to be adjusted. Wherever they play, expect to witness Cougar victories with Saia at the helm.

If you think for one second that a film about Facebook will be a pitiful way of capitalizing on the popularity of the site, you couldn't be more wrong. David Fincher ("Fight Club" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") takes a story of what easily could have been a simple handful of pretentious characters with the inability to socially connect, and created an exciting and fascinating story about the cracks within human nature. The film begins at Harvard with Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) using his internet blog to lash out at the girl who dumped him. His drunken anger leads him to create a site that rates his female peers according to their hotness, crashing Harvard's system and bringing him to the attention of the Winklevoss rowing twins (both played by Armie Hammer). Mark is hired by the twins to create an elite dating site that every scene he appears in with a only Harvard students can sign vibrant energy that fills you with up for.

Be ready to be amazed by the large tanks of beersin-the-making all within the 55,000 square foot brewery. As if that weren't cool enough, from the crowd, bring your beer to the gardens below and relax. Speaking of beers, Stone Brewery offers an assortment of 34 beers on the menu, with 10 Stone-made brews. To get a feel for their flavor, die "Core Four" offers a preview of them at $5. As for specials, they have $1 off all beers from 4 to 6 p.m. Can't take beer straight? Eat it! Spud Buds are $7, and Brownie Sundaes are $10, boasting beer as an ingredient. Meatless Mondays are a hit, featuring fresh and locally grown produce. However, be prepared to spend some dough. While drinks are reasonably priced, the dinner menu ranges from $7 to $22. If you want more bang for your buck, buying a Growler is worth every penny. Buyers have a choice of purchasing a 1 or 2 liter jug ranging from $9.25 to $12 available for multiple refills with your beer of choice at the brewery during store hours. And if you want it to go, there's special parking just for that. With their ever changing menu, friendly staff, and some good beer, you'd be amazed that this is all tucked away in Escondido.

Developed by Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios, Halo: Reach brings the player more of the now-classic sci-fi shooter action, but with plenty of upgrades and tweaks to the game play to keep the action fresh and exciting. The last issue of The Pride featured a review of the single player campaign of "Halo: Reach." This article's focus is solely on the multiplayer experience. While the single-player campaign made great strides in terms of story and graphics for the franchise, its effects on the video gaming community pale in comparison to the newly upgraded multiplayer experience Bungie developed. In previous versions of "Halo," the multiplayer was al- ways broken up into two game playlists: Ranked and Social. While both sections allowed players to rise in level, i.e., "Captain" or "General," only the ranked players would be able to reach the highest levels available in game. This created a divide between many gamers, as the atmosphere and difficulty of the Ranked and Social playlists differed greatly. Bungie, in one of many recent great decisions, combined the two sections to help quell the dissent. The ranking system remains and has been given new rewards at set points to help encourage players to keep pushing to that higher level. In each game, players earn credits for completing certain tasks. The tasks range from getting a certain amount of kills in a match, to surviving for a certain amount of time in a level without dying. Bungie also introduces daily and weekly challenges that, if completed, give the player a large amount of credits. Once players earn enough credits, they can purchase upgrades to their Spartan avatar, which is visible to the other players in online matchmaking. The upgrades are merely cosmetic and do not give the player any advantage over another, but as in previous "Halo" games, the customization of the player's armor is a time honored tradition,^¡vith many armor upgrades unlocked only after completing certain challenges and achievements, which are worn like a badge of honor among the players. Along with the added customization to the player avatars, Bungie also adds several new game modes, bringing some much-needed diversity to the online game play. The cooperative Firefight mode, which involves four playersfightingagainst wave after wave of enemies, allows for a completely new type of online play. Instead of competing against other humans, players can team up to fight the computer while still utilizing the online features. My favorite online feature is one of the smaller tweaks to the online matchmaking system. In previous "Halo" games, there has been a rather priifitive system that players used to vote for or against the current online level. If the consensus was negative, the players would then be thrown into another completely random level whether without the option to vote. Bungie heard the complaints loud and clear. Before each game, the players can now vote for one of three presented levels and game types, with a fourth option to see new levels. And if the voting players pick to see new levels, they are presented with three new choices instead of one permanent alternative level. "Halo: Reach" has delivered on all levels and provides the player with a large variety of game play and features to bring a whole new generation of gamers back into the "Halo" universe. "Halo: Reach" is available now for the Xbox 360 for $59.99. PHOTO COURTESY OF HIQHTECHEDGE.COM App of the week: Bump BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR its.

The film follows the previously established story line of a group of teenagers ^ ho find out that they're all being terrorized in their dreams by the same man due to actions made by their parents when they were children. With laughable acting, an extreme emphasis given to Kruger's possible pedophilic nature, and Haley trying desperately to rip the same terror from the audience as the irreplaceable original Robert Englund, this film only succeeds in being a weak attempt to recreate afilmthat needs no reproduction. NEW CD RELEASES With the sixth season newly underway, the DVD release of season five of this Emmy-nominated crime-drama series could not come at a better time. Heavily steeped in the symbiotic relationship between forensic anthropology and criminal justice, the series continues to follow the exploits of main characters Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), as well as the excellent supporting cast including Michaela Conlin, T J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, and Tamara Taylor. Featured in this season is the 100th episode (directed by David Boreanaz) that allows the audience to see the beginnings of Booth and Brennan's relationship, the Gravedigger (the villain of season four) on trial, the rekindling of romance between Angela and Hodgins, and finally ending the season with the characters going their separate ways temporarily. Be sure to catch new episodes of "Bones," airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. on FOX. b o n i ; PHOTOS COURTESY AMAZON.COM BY ASHLEY DAY PRIDE STAFF WRITER Brandon Flowers - "Flamingo" - Island It has been two weeks since Brandon Flowers's solo record, "Flamingo," has hit stores. The front man of Las Vegas band, The Killers, has not let the band's hiatus stop himfromcreating music. Flowers revealed fearing that if he stopped playing music for a year, it might "mess him up." Onfirstlisten, this record seems like a mash up of ten songs thrown onto an album. By the second or third spin through "Flamingo," the songs become infectious melodies that stick in your head. "Crossfire" is thefirstsingle off the record and sounds much like The Killers. The rest of the disk pays homage to Flowers's home town of Las Vegas. The record is a blend of alternative, country, jazz and pop. h ¡¡III I V 4 v WÏ % Jimmy Eat World - "Invented" - David Geffen Company It has been three years since Jimmy Eat* World's smash album, "Chase This Light," dropped. The band has bounced between record labels for many years, but for "Invented," Jimmy Eat World seceded from former major label Interscope Records to create the fresh, emotional rock Jimmy Eat World is known for. The band teamed up with producer Mark Trombino, who has produced three other Jimmy Eat World records, including the infamous "Bleed American." Long time fans will be ecstatic to know Jimmy Eat World has taken "Invented" back to their glory days, recycling the mellow guitar riffs that made "Clarity" a love-at-first-listen album in 1999 and chant-friendly high school anthems of "Bleed American." Their first single, "My Best Theory," is already number twelve on the Billboard rock charts. jmmmmmmmmmmmmmm * il M M P -Uj ( 1 - m ¡ — Ë f l H p H mmmm £ |NlMtll m n » .i Ä ' Ä M l i 1 1-ummIJIÄM 1.YEAH YEAH YEAH - MEW POLITICS 2 , « » Y O U - C E E .

The festival had Alice in Wonderland as a theme. It had five stages and large art installations and sculptures with fire. Several great artists and DJs performed at the festival, such as Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten, ATB, Dada Life and Pretty Lights. This year Insomniac offered free water refills for everyone, keeping attendees hydrated and dancing all day into the warmnight. The audience seemed electric throughout the 11-hour festival. With the many fast beating songs, lights, crazy outfits, carnival rides and dressed up entertainers, it seems like Insomniac could live up to calling it "wonderland." When Steve Angello played Swedish House Mafia's "One," the audience seemed to get into a frenzy, likewise with ATB when they played Ecstasy and managed to blow a speaker. As soon as the sun set, the out- S Œ door tents filled up at the speed of light. Angello who housed "Alice's House," a massive two story black tent with 78.000 square feet of room to dance and shuffle, together with Eddie Halliwell, D. Ramirez and Dada Life gave people no reason to leave. Festival goers had to dip their heads into "the Labyrinth," another one of the outdoor stages, to check out Ferry Corsten, ATB and Markus Schulz, who were blasting music in a hot, white tent with massive speakers and an euphoric crowd. If the 110-degree weather had made you tired, the lawn next to the pond at the entrance seemed a good place to rest while embracing the magic of the moment, looking at people passing by in their minimal outfits with candy (bracelets) up to their armpits or watching people getting light shows. At the end of the night, confetti was raining down, lasers were pointing everywhere, fireworks blasting somewhere in the warm nighs sky, and the bass pumped loud in the background, it truly seemed like wonderland.

Let's raise our glasses to good health! PHOTO COURTESY EUPHORIASMOOTHIES.COM �MojaCet (Dance CoCCective BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR I had no idea what to expect when I attended Stick Together. I knew there would be choreographed movement accompanied by a percussion group all the way from Switzerland. If you saw the signs around campus or read a preview of the event, and you harbored any fears of unintelligible modern ballet and a single man hitting a drum with his hands, you're not alone. But Stick Together made those fears completely baseless. It wasn't just a performance; it was a story about humanity told through dance and every type of percussive instrument I've ever seen, and at least a few I've never seen. Each piece had a name that provided some clues to its meaning, though like any good art, it made each person in the audience feel something unique and personal. The opening number, Transparency, started with human beings trapped in boxes, glowing with light from beneath them. To try to explain what happened after this point is almost impossible. Individuals came out of boxes. They got back in boxes. There were jerky individual movements after the "birth" of escaping the glass boxes, then smoother movement with the beginnings of cooperation between couples. As in life, however, the level of refinement that brings individual grace immediately turns into a pressure to conform. Dancers would do something breathtaking as individuals, only to be copied by the other dancers. It was beautiful, frustrating and relatable all at the same time. There were slow, somber dances where the dancers seemed serious, or even emotionless. There was a quick dance, filled with smiles and bright costumes that seemed to radiate happiness. In short, there was a little of everything. Adults in the audience were giving their full attention, homework and text messages briefly forgotten, and the children in the audience looked fascinated. But to speak just about the Mojalet Dance Collective is to completely ignore the other half of the evening. Rhythm Talk is currently in the OS on tour from Olten, Switzerland. I have never seen people so jubilant about playing the drums. But the word "drum" is overly simplistic. There were gongs. There were cymbals. There was a piece with the rhythm set by a berimbau, a musical bow I've never seen used outside of Brazilian capoeira performance. It was a dy- namic performance that I doubt sounds exactly the same twice. It's not the first time the groups have worked together. Faith Jensen-Ismay, the artistic director of Mojalet Dance Collective, and Noby Lehmann, the main composer for Rhythm Talk, met in 2006 when Jensen-Ismay and her collective were performing in Switzerland. "By 2007, they were here to do a tour project with us," Jensen-Ismay said. Now the group is back for another whirlwind tour of performances and master classes. Before the performance at CSUSM, the two groups taught a master class on campus, sponsored by the Dance Program . Rhythm Talk's newest album, also entitled "Stick Together," is filled with names from the places they visited in 2007, such as "Oceanside" and "Diego Dance." "There's just a lot of inspiration here," Lehmann said. "Normally, we make music, then choreography. But here, we can work together. Faith sends me choreography, and then I make music." If you missed "Stick Together" at CSUSM, there are still two more chances to catch the performance. There will be two free shows at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, on October 6th at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The shows are free, but tickets are first come, first served starting an hour before each performance. The California Center for the Arts, at 340 N. Escondido Blvd., is a fifteen-minute drive from campus, or two Sprinter stops and a fifteen-minute walk.

The day was planned specifically to bring awareness to issues surrounding education in light of this fall's midterm election season. CSUSM held its own rally in defense of public education during U-hour in the free speech plaza. As students gathered for the event, protest-themed music was played over loudspeakers to inspire emotion and unrest. Students were served free pizza and heard speeches from CSUSM Student Body President Susana Figueroa, CSUSM professor Heidi Breuer, and California State University Employees Union CSUSM Chapter President Mike Geek. The microphone was then open for students at the rally to come and share their opinions. Figueroa appealed to her fellow students in her speech, reminding them that they have a responsibility to hold state leaders accountable for the promises they make. Students can make a difference and form a legacy by choosing to step up and vote. "As college students, we are often devalued although we work so hard for our education," she said. "Voting is so easy to do—investigating the issues is the hardest part, but also the most essential." Breuer opened her speech by mentioning the millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds that were recently granted to the UC and CSU systems and pointing out that professors are no longer complaining about furlough days. "It may seem like everything is fine now," she said to the students, "but all is not good!" She compared the present state of public education to the eye of a hurricane. "We are in the eye of our storm, the storm of public education. We are in the middle of a huge attack. .. the chaos is coming." Breuer said that the most pressing issue in the IILIZE coming elec- tion is whether education should be a privilege, privatized so that only those with money can attend school, or a right. "Education doesn't just benefit you, it benefits the entire community," she said, "so tell a friend, register to vote, and go vote in the Nov. election!"

California politicians made repeated drastic cuts to the CSU educational system budget for many years. Recently, Governor Schwarzenegger proposed restoring $305 million to the CSU system. If the California legislature enacts the proposed budget, there will be a new influx of students attending CSUSM this Januaiy. Last year, over 17,000 prospective students applied for enrollment in CSUSM during the priority-filing period. This statistic was up 22 percent from student applications for the fall 2009 semester. According to official school statistics, the number of transfer applicants has increased 48 percent compared to the transfer applicant rate from fall 2009. CSUSM is only welcoming certain students for spring 2011. The first students to be admitted will come from local community colleges such as Palomar College, Mount San Jacinto College (MSJC), and MiraCosta College. Students transferring from the community colleges must be ready to start their upper division coursework. Prospective students should have . consecutively attended Palomar, MSJC or MiraCosta before applying to CSUSM. Students looking to be readmitted into CSUSM also have first priority admissions status. International or foreign exchange students are also allowed to apply for the spring 2 0tl semester. Students from countries outside the United States need a valid F1 visa to be considered for admission. CSUSM will not receive students aspiring to accomplish a second bachelor's degree. They will also not be accepting first time freshmen or lower division applicants. CSUSM will know how many transfer students they can afford to accept after the California education budget is finalized. Therefore, offers of admission into CSUSM will not be dispatched immediately. If students are not accepted for spring 2011, they have two options for the fate of their applications. Transfer or international students may use the spring 2011 applications for the prospect of getting in during fall 2011, or they may request to have their applications rescinded and their money returned to their pockets. The deadline for transcripts to be delivered to academic admission is this Friday, Oct. 15.

PHOTO PROVIDED BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI The college survival guide Roomates 101: c ommunication, cleanliness, a nd c onsideration BY DEVONNE EDORA PRIDE STAFF WRITER Fall semester is kicking into high gear. Our college years have begun and many new and different experiences are yet to come. Do you live in the University Village Apartments (UVA) or off-campus housing? Then there is high chance that at some point you will be living with roommates. Having a roommate is a big responsibility, filled with challenges and disagreements. Yet it can also be a great and rewarding adventure. So listen up and take notes, Cougars. Next time "roomie" issues come up, remind yourself of these helpful tips. #1 Communication is essential. Whether you're living with friends or not, being able to talk and communicate openly provides an honest environment. Things can be great in the beginning, but can get ugly really fast. Make sure to address any issues right away. Roommates who reach a mutual understanding of each other's needs are able to form better relationships. Brian Dawson, housing director at UVA, encourages students to "walk in each other's shoes," when people come to college. "All they know is what they've lived at home, so everyone has different routines." Living with roommates isn't easy, but try to be openminded about each other to avoid any future conflicts. #2 Figure out what is "clean." Everyone grew up in various types of households. Having spilt oatmeal on the counter might be considered spotless to some, but filthy to others. Discuss with one another what "cleanliness" means to each person. Does the carpet need to be vacuumed once a week or once a month? If necessary, come up with a chore list. Just make sure everyone participates. Defining what cleanliness means will greatly reduce any problems and and Post-It notes saying, "Whose dishes are these?" #3 Be considerate. Try to be aware of each other's lifestyles and values. Coming to college places students in unfamiliar places, so being polite to others can go a long way. "People need to lower their expectations for what the other person is doing, and to raise their expectations for themselves," advises Dawson. Chances are some roommates will be blaring Lil' Wayne through paper-thin walls. Some will always bring guests over (especially when you're studying). Some will be coming home at the wee hours of the morning, waking everyone up five hours earlier than they need to. No matter how irritating all that can be, have respect for your roommates. You need to be willing to listen and receptive to change. Figure out a policy on study schedules, noise levels, and privacy. In this way, it is helpful to see what everyone agrees on and eases the living situation. Handling these issues in an adult manner is a great skill that proves to be useful even beyond college. Be patient and respectful to your roommates. Students should be stressing about 10 page papers, not unwashed dishes. Don't expect to become best friends, but implementing these tips can at least open that up as a possibility.

When Sheri Jennum talks about passion, you can feel it. Jennum, the new women's basketball coach, gestures emphatically, explaining how much she loves her well-lit office, how excited she is to be on the CSUSM campus, and why she has been so successful in other positions. "When it comes to [basketball], I am extremely competitive—it's about having passion." When you look at her story, you understand. Jennum has never been anything but a winner. She's a member of the Napa High School hall of fame, once leading Napa High to a Bay Valley Conference championship. At Fullerton College, she was the Most Valuable Player of the Southern California Tournament after an undefeated season. After transferring to Cai Poly Pomona, she lead the 1985 team to an NCAA Division II championship, earning all-tournament team honors. Her coaching history is no different. She enjoyed success at several assistant and head coaching jobs at various levels before leaving the sport in 2000 to become a lawyer. Men's golf finishes 9th in first tournament of fall But the taste for money and security only lasts for so long when you love the game like Jennum. In 2004, she accepted an assistant job at her Community College Alma Mater, Fullerton. A year later she moved on to an assistant job across town from CSUSM at Palomar College, where she became the head coach full-time in 2007. Over the last three years, her teams compiled a record of 74-18, with an astonishing record in the Pacific Coast Conference of 40-2. It is no wonder the administration chose Jennum to lead the Lady Cougars. Jennum said the feeling was mutual. "I've had my eye on the [CSUSM athletic] program for a long time," she said, "and it was exciting when the soccer, softball and baseball teams got started." When it's built, the new CSUSM basketball and volleyball arena will be visible from Jennum's office window. But as she gazes at the spot, she notes that it probably won't be built for "as we understand it at least a year, if not two." When asked about the possibility of the Cougars playing home games in the Dome at Palomar College, Jennum almost seems to have not considered the significance of coaching at her old stomping grounds. My main focus is on day to day use, on practice sites...but if [Palomar] will have us, I 'm more than happy to play anywhere." Once the first season begins in 2011, will the women's team play any games on the same night as the men, as is traditional in established programs? Jennum isn't sure. "It's tough to schedule doubleheaders as an independent. [The Cougars will compete as an NAIA independent . in 2011.] Teams don't want to play you in January or February, because they don't want to play outside their conference. And it's difficult without a home site. But I have been talking with [Men's coach] Jim [Saia] about it, and we'd like to. I know it's exciting for the fans." Jennum mentions her focus on graduation with academic success and community service. She also knows Cougar fans expect winning. There's plenty of pressure, and she'sfinewith it. She recites a quote by tennis legend Billy Jean King: "Pressure is privilege." "I believe that." she said with a nod. "Because when you are under pressure, you've put yourself in a situation where you can win...our first year, we're going for a championship." ' "There's s ome talk about that, about a c ouple other s ites.

Competing in afieldwith eight NCAA teams, the Cougars stayed competitive with a three-round total of 921. The tournament was won by the host school's "B" team, who shot 865 to defeat the "A" team by two strokes. Leading the way for the Cougars was Robert Nicanor, who got his season off to a fantastic start. Nicanor shot 74 on Tuesday after rounds of 74 and 77 on Monday, giving him a three-round total of 225, good for 25th place. Not far behind was sophomore Adam Loran, who tied for 31st with a score of 229. He shot rounds of 73, 77, and 79. Kevin Rubyfinishedoff a solid performance in his first tournament as a Cougar, shooting 7580-79 to tie for 38th with a score of 234. One shot back was Marco Gomez, whofinishedtied for 40th after shooting 74-84-77 (235). Rounding out the squad was Devon Jeon, who took 50th at 248 (84-82-82). CSUSM will be back in action on October 2526 at CSU Northridge. CSUSM women's soccer ended their goal-scoring drought today, earning a 6-0 victory over Soka University. The lady Cougars, who had not played a game in two weeks, dominated in the attack taking 30 shots and putting 13 on goal. #16-ranked CSUSM improves to 5-1-5 this season. Soka is currently 2-8-1. The Cougars controlled possession of the game, and maintained a solid back line that did not allow Soka any opportunities. CSUSM played an offensive game, creating numerous chances on net. CSUSM controlled play from the kickoff, but were unable to finish a chance until late in the first half. The first goal of the game came in the 41st minute from Arielle Cohen, who received a pass from Shannon Cox and fired a shot to the back of the net from 25 yards out. But once the secondhalf began, CSUSM opened the floodgates.

The #16-ranked Cougars improve to 6-1-5 on the season. Chapman, a member of NCAA Division HI, drops to 7-4. CSUSM came out absolutely onfireon Saturday, and the team's first 20 minutes was very likely the best stretch of soccer that the home fans have seen this season. The Cougars got to every loose ball, won every 50/50 chance, and played with a tenacity that overwhelmed their opponent. As the team has learned this season though, it's one thing to dominate play, but it takes something else to translate that into goals. Today the Cougars did just that, thanks largely to Johnson. In thE ninth minute, Taylor Schurman, who was among the many Cougars that had a fantastic game, hit a dangerous ball into the box. It ricocheted off the crossbar, and was eventually poked home by Johnson to put CSUSM up 1-0. Not long after, Schurman once again carried the ball down the right flank, hitting another excellent cross into the box. This time it found Johnson cleanly, who crushed a shot into the back of the net to make it 2-0. Johnson wasted little time in making it a hat trick - the first of the season for CSUSM - taking advantage of a Taylor Ziencina cross and punching it home to make it 3-0. That would end the first half scoring, and Chapman came out with renewed motivation in the second half, controlling play for a stretch that result- ed in a goal by Aimee Evans. But CSUSM would regain control and put the contest away late. In the 71st minute, Ziencina and Breanna Brenton combined for a corner kick goal for the second straight game, with Brenton using her height and aerial skills to get a clean header off past the Chapman keeper. And finally, with just 16 seconds left to play, Kelsey Gunion hit a nice through ball that found Arielle Cohen, who •dribbled in one-on-one with the keeper and slid it by for her third goal in two games. Since a two-week mid-season break, CSUSM has now scored 11 goals in its two games. Prior to that, the Cougars had scored 3 goals in their previous 6 matches. The Cougars will be back in action this Wednesday at San Diego Christian.

CSUSM improves to 6-22 on the season. Soka drops to 7-5. Both teams' records also benefitted from the recent decision of #5-ranked Vanguard University to forfeit its first six games of the season. Playing in front of the loud home crowd on Thursday, the Cougars controlled play from the opening whistle, not allowing a single shot while tallying 28 of their own and putting 12 on net. Kevin Ernst earned the shutout in net for CSUSM, with a huge assist from his midfield and back line, who were stout for all 90 minutes. The Cougars wasted little time shaking off the rust, taking a 1-0 lead in the second minute. Max Blumenshine played a long ball behind the defense, and Warren Ashcroft ran under it and drove a solid strike past the keeper and into the roof of the net. That score would persist through the first half, before CSUSM added the clincher early in the second. In the 60th minute, Jordan Shadeed collected a ball in the attacking zone, and dribbled his way around defenders to the side of the net. Shooting from a sharp angle, Shadeed hit a rocket into the back of the net to put his team up 2-0 and ultimately finish the game. CSUSM will be back in action at San Diego Christian this Wednesday. �C S U S M THEATER PREVIEW: CHELA, A CTOS, A ND A THEATER FEST HEAT U P THE HOLIDAYS O N CAMPUS BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER The theater department at CSUSM is hard at work preparing for its upcoming productions, anticipating an exciting semester of fresh, original performances. Keeping with CSUSM's celebration of cultural diversity, many of the productions contain a multicultural point of view—exploring the adversity and achievements of Hispanic culture. "Given the mounting anti-immigrant propaganda now being felt by many of Hispanic descent, this is a time to bring theatre of consciousness to the public," Visual and Performing Arts professor Marcos Martinez said of the upcoming shows. •"As the premier educational institution in North County, CSUSM is taking the lead in offering theatre that speaks to issues affecting our community and our region." The two main performances this fall are "Chela," a one-woman show by comedienne/actress Dulce Maria Solis, and "Actos," a collection of satirical one-act plays by renowned director/playwright/ social rights activist Luis Valdez. "Chela" is a biographical performance that tells the poignant true story of a young Mexican woman and the shocking challenges she faces as an immigrant trapped in a loveless marriage, struggling to regain her sexuality. Performed and written by CSUSM theater alumnus and rising actress Dulce Maria Solis, this inspiring production is based on the life of Solis's own mother. Its powerful messages are laced with comedy and sorrow, culminating in a captivating, emotional narrative. "Actos" portrays the identity struggle, psychological trauma, and abuse endured by Mexican-American farmworkers. The production is based on Valdez's experiences with migrant workers when he joined Cesar Chavez in his efforts to educate and organize farmworkers in the 1960s. Shown through a satirical lens, these short sketches use bits of humor to illuminate powerful social and political critique. Known as "the father of Chicano theatre in the United States," Luis Valdez is renowned for his work in Hollywood whose credits include the movies "La Bamba" and "Zoot Suit." Come December, the theater department will host a student festival of plays and per- formances written and acted entirely by CSUSM students. Theater student Tricia Bowen said the plays are "so funny... it's a great chance to support your friends and peers, and see some really entertaining shows." The student festival includes a monologue festival, and a play festival. The p lay festival will feature two one-act plays written by students from last semester's play and screenwriting class— "Just Passing Through" by Matt Chewiwie and "The Overnights" by Samantha Carr—and a capstone project by graduating theater/VPA major Mary Relator, titled "S-t-a-u-n-c-h Women"— a cabaret-style show portraying iconic, fictional, and historical women and the issues they face. For more information about upcoming theater events at CSUSM or for advanced reservations, call (760) 750-4137 or visit http://www.csusm. edu/vpa/art-e vents/index .html. If you are looking for some culture, entertainment, and thoughtprovoking drama, mark your calendars and support your fellow students. These performances are surely brimming with the sensory magic of original live theater.

The festival first got its start in 2000 at the University of San Diego, and since has grown into an event that has highlighted and honored over 1,000 independent films from all over the world. Taking place in Mission Valley at the Hazard Center UltraStar Cinema (7510 Hazard Center Drive, San Diego), this year's festival will include over 140 movie screenings from 20 different countries, and will be attended by over 100 filmmakers and actors, including John Cho ("Harold and Kumar" and "Star Trek"), Danny Pudi ("Community"), Ellen Wong ("Scott Pilgrim VS The World"), and Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost"). With panels, workshops, live music, and the opportunity to meet filmmakers, The San Diego Asian Film Festival is the perfect chance for you to be adventurous and see some films that maybe you wouldn't normally try out. Kicking off the festival will be the West Coast premiere of the ambitious martial arts film "Legend of the Fist," by filmmaker Andrew Lau. Set during the Second Sino-Japanese War, it is a story of vengeance and resistance, displaying a dynamic visual style and incredible martial arts. Closing the festival is the romantic comedy "Au Revoir Taipei," written and directed by Arvin Chen. Spanning just one night, it tells the story of Kai and Susie as they find excitement (including an Asian Four Tops cover band) and love together in Taipei. Produced by Wim Wenders ("Wings of Desire"), "Au Revoir Taipei" promises to be the perfect ending of what is surer to be an amazing festival. Currently tickets in packs of four ($34) and ten ($86) can be purchased online at www.sdaff. org, and starting Oct. 19, tickets can be bought at the Mission Valley UltraStar theater's box office. There are many perks of buying your tickets online, including cheaper costs and a special line that allows you inside before those who bought at the box office.

PHOTO COURTESY OF POPCULTURESHOCK.COM �HOT O FF THE REEL: R.E.D. by mila p a n t o vich pride s t a f f w r i t e r A movie about retired CIA agents may not seem appealing to a younger generation, but "Red" certainly succeeds in proving any naysayers wrong. Filled with a high-caliber cast, copious amounts of gunfire, fantastic action sequences, and perfectly timed jokes, "Red" manages to set itself apart from any other film at the theater right now, making it the perfect film to catch with a group of friends. Frank Moses is a CIA blackops retiree living a life of calm repetition. He fills his days with a routine that includes watching after an avocado pit and finding excuses to call Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a telephone operator who escapes her dull life through reading trashy romance novels. However, when a group of heavily armed assassins shoots their way into his house, Frank quickly discovers that he, and all of the agents he worked with, are targets due to their knowledge of top-secret information. After snatching Sarah, who was in danger due to her contact with him, Frank begins reassembling his old team, Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich), and Victoria (Helen Mirren). Together, the team makes their way to an ex- citing climax, with a government cover-up involving the Vice President (Julian McMahon), which will leave a smile on your face. It's incredibly hard to pull off a good action comedy without giving the audience the overwhelming feeling that you're trying too hard. Thankfully, Robert Schwentke has an incredible cast that revel in their characters. Bruce Willis plays a ruthless killer who is, as Mirren's character explains, "gooey on the inside." It's a role that Willis has done countless times but it works because delivering fun action scenes (including a scene in which he calmly steps out of a car that's doing a 360 degree spin) is what Wilis does best. x While Willis is good, his fellow retired black-ops agents make the movie truly worth seeing. Playing a cancer patient living in a retirement home, Morgan Freeman is disappointingly underused but uses his screen time with a charming and effortless ease. Playing a paranoid conspiracy theorist, John Malkovich only gets more fascinating and hypnotizing with age. Even when barely in the frame, he steals nearly every scene that he is in, reveling in Marvin's neurosis and entertaining with merely the raise of an eyebrow. Matching Malkovich for laughs is Helen Mirren, who is absolutely stunning as the polished and lethal weapon's expert, Victoria. Mirren effortlessly proves that, at 65 years old, she is far sexier behind a high-powered machine gun than any young starlet could ever be. Also delivering great performances are MaryLouise Parker, Karl Urban as the conflicted agent tasked with killing the group, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox, and an adored appearance by Ernest Borgnine. While a PG-13 rating is often a detriment to action films, rest assured that the rating hasn't dulled the explosive fun one bit. "Red" renders the low rating unnoticeable by employing excellent ac. tion scenes and a plethora of gunfire. With bodies being blown to bits, Schwentke turned to stylized sequences without resorting to unnecessary moments of excessive blood. For fans of the original graphic novel of the same name by Warren Ellis and Cully Hammer, don't expect a faithful adaptation. After all, the Frank of the book would never be called "gooey." However, as a standalone action film, "Red" makes the right' choice in letting its incredible cast have fun with their roles, which in turn makes the film a complete joy to watch. With its predictability and bloated length that drags in the middle, "Red" doesn't reinvent the action comedy genre by any means. Nevertheless, by providing constant laughs and delivering scenes like Malkovich's attack on a woman in the airport and Mirren's command of a rocket launcher, "Red" will probably be the most fun you've had in a movie theater in a while.

While the specific color may change with each telling (in the original story the color was scarlet), the thematic elements and story structure remain firm.

Although some may not take their food preferences to such extremesf there is no denying the warm pleasure of a bowl of fragrant, steaming soup on a chilly autumn evening. Soup can serve as a light lunch or, when paired with a sandwich or pasta dish, a filling dinner. It may be easy to break out the can opener and heat some pre-packaged chowder or broth, but with only a few more minutes of preparation, you can enjoy a bowl of homemade soup custom designed to suit your taste. A little time on the stove and your soup will be ready for slurping. Full of nutritious ingredients and vitamins, soups are a scrumptious way to stave off winter cold and flu season. There is a reason why people recommend eating chicken soup when you get sick! Here is a recipe to get you started. Chicken Tortilla Soup 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup chopped cooked chicken Vi avocado, diced VA cup fresh cilantro leaves 1 can diced tomatoes 1 chopped poblano pepper * Vegetable or chicken stock Handful of corn tortilla chips Shredded cheese Pour all ingredients except the stock and chips into a pot and heat on the stove until warmed. Add stock until desired consistency. Crumble tortilla chips into a bowl and ladle soup over the top. Add shredded cheese over the top and enjoy! The avocados and black beans in this soup are nutritional powerhouses. CSUSM health educator Cathy Nguyen said, "Good sources of nutrients found in avocados include: beta carotene, magnesium, Vitamin E, and potassium to name a few." Regarding the health benefits of black beans, she said, "according to a research study from Michigan State University in 2003, black beans have the most antioxidant activity of all flavonoids when compared to 12 other varieties of dry beans. Black beans are also an excellent source of dietary fiber and help with digestive disorders." This soup proves that eating healthy can be delicious! Ciao, my soup chefs! THE COOKIN' COUGAR DRAWING BY CHELSEA JAUREGUI �OCTOBER 12TH, 2010 A&E THE PRIDE S treet a rt t hrive/ in BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER If you've been to downtown San Diego within the past two months, you've probably noticed the more recent insurgence of inspired street art to hit our urban landscape. If you have yet to make a trip to the downtown area, take a day off and make the short drive as quickly as possible. On July 18, 2010, the "Museum of Contemporary Art" opened its most recent art exhibition, "Viva la Revolución: A Dialogue with the Urban Landscape" within the Jacobs Building on Kettner Boulevard. Curated by Pedro Alonzo and MCASD Associate Curator Lucía Sanromán, the exhibit features twenty of the most well known street artists from ten different countries (including the likes of Shepard Fairey, Banksy, VHILS, and Barry McGee). The exhibit succeeds in opening dialogue to the nature of street art and its place in society by removing the art from its urban context and placing it within the white walls of a museum. The risk was well taken and incredibly successful due to the sheer weight and overwhelming beauty of the pieces shown. With thoughtprovoking installations, the exhibit succeeds in integrating the chaos of urban artwork with the pristine, and often outdated, setting of an art museum. One of the largest pieces in the exhibit is by Swoon, the only female artist featured in the exhibit. The enormous installation utilizes recycled materials, such as wood slabs and glass bottles, to assemble a tower of forgotten waste that gives attention to industrialization and the humanity that is lost in the process. Also featured in the exhibit is a stunning use of crumbling urban walls as art by VHILS, Stephan Doitschinoff's thought-provoking religious alter, and reactionary prints by the infamous Banksy (the largest collection of his prints to be shown at once). Open until Jan. 2, 2011, the exhibit bravely embraces the unique and risky nature of the ever-changing street art scene, allowing the movement the respect it deserves from the community of art museums. Unique and entirely fitting Of the exhibit's theme, "Viva la Revolución" doesn't limit itself to an indoor setting and includes public commissions throughout downtown San Diego, as well as un-commissioned works on locations secured by the museum. Included in the public displays is a photomural by JR and large-scale murals by OS Gemeos, Stephan Doitschinoff, Shepard Fairey, Invader, and Barry McGee. One can either hit the exhibit first, picking up a street map there (also available at http://wwwjncasandiego. org) to engage in their art treasure hunt, or take two days to explore the two very different art viewing experiences. Many works are within walking distance of the exhibit, two are on the same block, but there are many gorgeous pieces that one would need a car to see, especially Shepard Fairey's beautiful piece in South Park and Stephen Doitschinoff's comparison of Jesus to the inhuman neg- ligence of livestock that appears off of 16th Street in downtown. What the scavenger hunt manages to do, within our clean streets, is create an awareness of all the surrounding art that one may never notice. Instead of traveling through San Diego streets blindly, the public displays cause people to engage with the constant presence of art. While some may go completely unrealized, like Invader's small-scale work with tiles that don't appear on the map, each one causes people to appreciate areas that they may never have noticed before, giving them new landmarks to know their city by and opening a surging dialogue regarding the nature, power, and necessity to the growing of culture that urban art brings.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, wwwJcoipen. org, breast cancer does not discriminate by age or ethnicity. All women (and even some men) are susceptible to the disease, and over 200,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. Apart from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women but is also the most successfully treated. Regular mammogram screenings, MRIs, and ¿linical breast exams are imperative to the detection and treatment of breast cancer. The key to success comes with prevention through early detection. ^The earlier the detection of breast cancer, the more treatable the disease becomes. While women follow health guidelines and armor themselves in pink, there are still many other ways to get involved in the fight a|ainst breast cancer. The 60-mile Susan G.

CSUSM President Karen S , Haynes, Ph.D., said in her Oct. 18 Budget Update memo to the campus community, "The California economy continues to present challenges. Midyear budget cuts and a difficult budget year in 2011-12 are a real possibility." CSUSM's budget remains under review as officials await information provided by the Chancellor's Office. President Haynes plans to release additional information or possibly hold a budget forum when the details of the 2010-11 budget plans are more complete. A STATEMENT OF CLARIFICATION In the last Police Beat, a person was wrongfully identified as a "UVA [University Village Apartments] employee" when in fact the person in question was a full-time CSUSM employee, according to confirmation from Human Resources. At the time of the incident, the person was a CSUSM employee. A UPD contact confirmed for The Pride that University Police never identified the person had any affiliation with the UVA.

Government urges vaccination for seasonal flu SHCS offers flu shots for students and faculty/staff 2009 H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season." The CDC warns against vaccination for those who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, people who are currently sick with a moderate to severe illness with fever, or those recently diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. In years past, the CDC recommended two different shots for a patient to develop full immunity to seasonal flu viruses. This year, most patients require only one dose of this full-spectrum vaccination. However, the CDC recommends that children aged six months to eight years, who have never received a flu vaccination, get two doses of the flu vaccine spaced four or more weeks apart. People with the highest risk for seasonal flu infection include pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, and anyone with long-term health problems. Although it is not possible to get the flu from a flu shot, there is a slight risk of mild complications after receiving the vaccination. These complications include, but are not limited to, low-grade fever, soreness or redness at the injection site, and body aches, according to CVS phar- macies. Side effects usually last no longer than one to two days. To avoid possible side effects associated with vaccinations, select CVS pharmacies offer a nasal spray called FluMist for individuals between two and 49 with no health problems. The CVS pharmacy across from campus also offers flu vaccinations, but does not offer FluMist. The next dates for vaccinations are Oct. 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. and Nov. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. The pharmacy does not require an appointment.

SELLING CLASS NOTESCONSIDERED GROUNDS FOR EXPULSION BY SANDRA CHALMERS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Think your essays and past class notes are worth more than just a letter grade? Think not. Selling class notes, past tests, or even essays breaks the student code of conduct that can lead to expulsion from the university and the entire CSU system. A recent press release from Bridget Blanshan, the Dean of students here at CSUSM, discussed that CSU students had participated in selling class notes to a third party site for money. According to the press release, this is prohibited under student code of conduct section 41301 of title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. The penalty includes expulsion. "Unauthorized recording, dissemination, or publication of academic presentations (including handwritten notes) for a commercial purpose." Students may think selling lecture notes seems to be a practical way of getting some extra cash for academic efforts, but if caught, the penalty can cost them their entire education. "If a student took time to study and is willing to sell their class notes, it is their prerogative. It becomes an issue on personal integrity and it shouldn't be the school's responsibility to intervene," said Kristen Collins, a senior majoring in Biology and Political Science. Expulsion is a permanent separation of the student from CSU student status from the California State Uni- versity system, as stated by Chancellor Reed in his 2009 Memorandum of student conduct procedures. Countless businesses try to entice students to give up their academic integrity by advertising to sell course material on a share system of helping other students through stresses of college. "I can see how it becomes a controversial issue, if a student is responsible and goes to class everyday and takes his/her own notes versus a slacker that can just buys the notes from someone else, its not fair," continued Collins. Sharenotes.com states on their website that their environment allows students to share, download, or buy notes, study guides, written reports and other course material for all subjects from over 100 colleges. "Working at the bookstore, I notice all the new textbooks and how much each semester the class materials change. It must be hard to sell class notes that keep up with the changes," said Collins. The student conduct case generated by the Associate Vice President and the Dean of Students for 2008-09 indicates that there were 113 incidents reports of academic misconduct referred by faculty. Though the nature of all these incidents are not explicitly detailed, three resulted in suspension and 51 resulted in academic probation. These incidents show a 79 percent increase from 2006-07 to 2008-09. trip. You get a great experience, make new friends, and visit new places while helping others." This year's trip to Washington D.C. will allow students to "get a chance to work with a great organization like Habitat for Humanity and help build new homes for those in need," said Gallegos. "Along with working during the days at our home sites, we provide opportunities for the students to attend different activities at night to see what there is to see. Even though it is a week of service, it still is Spring Break, so we still want to have fun." CSUSM is just one of the many universities nationwide that takes part in this service program, as it provides. students more options considering what to do for their school breaks. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity have also benefitedfromsuch generous outpouring of support from students who have all contributed in making a difference. Megan Carlier said, "It is such a humbling and fun experience, and it makes you realize how truly lucky you are; that is something we all seem to forget now and then."

T : MKW : BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Sampus resourcesfin CSUSM shootings afety o the wake of school Reviewing c BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Oct. 8, shots were fired at Kelly Elementary School in Carlsbad. Many of the young students were on the playground during the shooting, but only two were injured. Local construction worker Carlos Partida stopped the gunman, Brendan O'Rourke, with his truck. Steven Kane, a co-worker of Partida, helped Partida restrain the gunman until the police arrived. After a mental evaluation, O'Rourke was booked into jail on several charges including two counts of attempted murder and having a firearm in a public school. A judge from the Vista Court later arraigned him on Oct. 13. In a country where people have therightto ownfirearmwith a proper license, there are reports of criminal accidents concerning people firing or simply carrying guns every month. In September, the Automated Regional Justice Information System (AJIS) recorded 38 armed robberies, which is a decrease compared to 103 reported in August 2010. Fortunately, no one died at Kelly El- ementary, but it was not the same situation in other school shootings. Since the Columbine shootings in 1993, schools have updated their security staff and systems. Some have local police close by and even have several security guards on campus. School faculty and staff do their best to prepare themselves and their students for all possibilities. Teachers train the students on the appropriate actions during earthquakes, fires, and any other dangerous situations. That's the situation in most elementary and high schools, but what do you do in the independent world of college? For some, it has been years since they last reviewed the steps of a school lock-down. Luckily, California State University San Marcos has several resources for everyone in the campus about awareness and procedures. The campus police offer the Active Shooter Preparedness Presentation. This lecture informs students on how to report a person with a live firearm and find safety. Some GEL classes have the presentation, but for the students outside of the class, they can simply go to the CSUSM website and head over the University Police Video Series page to watch the "Shots Fired Video." If you do see any crimes, simply call 911 or the campus police at (760)750-4567. Especially right now, with the mountain lion warning, UPD is a good number to have programmed into your cellular phone. CSUSM updates the campus alert system once information is given about events. The school also has a program called Cougar Watch where anyone can call the police about suspicious activities. Members of campus police are also available to escort you from anywhere on campus to your vehicle or resident hall, between the hours of dusk and dawn, if you ever feel unsafe. According to the CSUSM University Police mission statement, their job is "to protect our campus community above all else." Even though classes may be hectic, rest assured student and faculty safety is guaranteed.

Permits local governments to regulate and tax commercial production, distribution, and sale of marijuana. Prop 19 seeks to legalize marijuana within the state of California. It would allow people 21 years of age or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Marijuana would remain illegal if the person possessing the substance was on school grounds, smoking in public, or in the presence of minors.

Those who oppose Prop 19, including MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), explain that the prop could endanger public safety and cut federal funding to schools. Those opposed include California Taxpayers Association. Proposition 26 would issue a requirement to have two-thirds vote in order to raise fees, this includes certain taxes which may or may not result in a revenue. These fees differ from taxes as they are used only to aid in government services. Advocates suggest that these fees need to use the same regulatory guidelines as taxes, which include a twothirds vote. Prop 26 is estimated to decrease state budget by having such rigorous requirements to support new revenues fees.

Either way, pumpkin carving is a simple and fun way to put your creativity on display for the Halloween season. The practice of pumpkin carving is a tradition that spans the length of centuries, though its association with Halloween is a little more recent. People used to carve and light objects like gourds in order to welcome the spirits of loved ones while also using the lit creations to keep out unfriendly spirits. This once specific activity has expanded to many places and fallen under quite different intentions nowadays. Needless to say, pumpkin carving may just be the one Halloween pastime that can be enjoyed at any age, in any way. It can also be a complicated process, depending on the complexity of the design you attempt to carve. As with most art projects, the possible ideas and designs are endless, so the basics are a good place to start. The tools used to carve pumpkins can consist of everyday kitchenware and tools found in the garage. Large,knives are helpful to remove the pumpkin stem and large spoons will make removing the pumpkin's innards easy and quick. Pencils and markers can be used to layout your design before you start to carve. Check out Google for sites that have downloadable stencils to get you started. As for the design details, it all depends mostly on what you want for the pumpkin. Here are some tips to begin the baSic pumpkin carving process: 1. Cut around the stem of the pumpkin, carving in a slanted position to keep the lid from falling in. 2. Next, scoop out the pumpkin's insides (to make it extra clean, use the scooping spoon to remove any extra pumpkin seeds and scraps off the inside walls). 3. After figuring out the side you want to place the design on, sketch out the design with a pencil or pen. Carve out the shapes with a knife, then push the pieces out. 4. When lighting your pumpkin, use a candleholder, place it carefully inside, and watch your jack-o'-lantern glow! For more information on the carving process, check http:// www.pumpkincarving 101 .com. Creative stencils can be found at sites like DLTK's Crafts for Kids (http://www.dltk-holidays. com/hallo ween/mpatterns .htm). Now that you have the basic steps down, the rest is up to individual creativity. Remember that pumpkins will not last forever and will dehydrate and rot, so take pictures right away to document your creations. If you intend on extending your pumpkin's preservation there are many methods to keep it from rotting. The PumpkinFresh spray-on preserver is one cheap option for postponing the inevitable a little longer (http:// www.pumpkinfresh.com/).

She has also traveled as a coach to Croatia, leading an American squad in a global challenge, and in 2006 served as the assistant coach for the USA Junior National A2 team. Regardless of the exotic and faraway places in which she has coached, Gustin is impressed Some people never in* tended to become parents. Some people never intended to become volleyball coaches. It just happens. After nearly four perfect years playing Volleyball for Michigan State University, in which she made the all Big-Ten Conference team three times, Sarah Gustin suffered what would be a careerending injury. She moved back to Southern California in 2000 and signed ojx to be an assistant coach at Vista High School/Less than 10 years later, she has been hired to initiate the women's volleyball program here at CSUSM. "I really felt a strong con- lowest level of collegiate athletics, it's really just a separate entity, and Gustin says playing in the association will be far from easy. "It'll be tough that first year. [NAIA teams are] equivalent to the Division II teams we're going to be playing in 2012. A lot of them could beat Division I teams." Still, she is clearly excited about the year ahead of her. The keys to everything have been handed over by the school, including scheduling games, administrative duties, and even designing of the uniforms (the team recently signed with Adidas), which she promises will be "something cool." Gustin is ready for the challenge here, and she has an idea of what it will be like. with what CSUSM has to offer. "I love it [here]. It's an easy place to sell for recruiting. It's a great place to work." Speaking of recruiting, consider Gustin the resident expert in San Marcos. She also spent her time at Indiana as the recruiting specialist. Her recruiting here will mostly be done locally, an area that she says is "so rich in talent." But she may bring in recruits who have contacted her from as far as Oregon and Arizona because "everyone wants to live in Southern California." Like the other sports programs, Gustin's Volleyball team will spend the 2011-12 season as an NAIA independent. Though the NAIA is often thought of as the "I have a very close Mend who started a [NCAA Division II] program four years ago. I re¿nember when he took the job I said, 'you're crazy, why would you want to start a program from scratch?' And then I didn't think about it until I took the job, but he called me and said, 'Hey, crazy.' He's been a great confidant to bounce ideas off of." Likewise, with Gustin on the sideline, expect Volleyball games to bounce the Cougars' way in 2011. Women's soccer celebrates Homecoming with 3 -2 win over Embry-Riddle BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a large crowd of alumni and fans on homecoming day, #13-ranked Cougar women's soccer defeated conference rival Embry-Riddle 2-0 atMangrumFieldon Saturday. CSUSM improves to 9-1-5 on the year. Embry-Riddle drops to 6-9-1. It was a big contest between two conference rivals, and while the Cougars weren't at their best, they were good enough to win. CSUSM out-shot Embry-Riddle 18-6, and held a 10-0 corner kicks advantage. The Eagles' defense saved three balls off the back line, keeping the contest close. But the Cougars did manage to get a pair of shots past, both in the first half. In the 19th minute, Shelby Bush was taken down in the box and CSUSM was awarded a penalty kick. Taylor Ziencina calmly finished the opportunity to put the Cougars up 1-0. Less than 10 minutes later, Rachel Schulte found Lauren Johnson making a run down the center of the field. Getting between defenders, Johnson loaded up and blasted a shot from about 20 yards out that rocketed past the keeper and into the back of the net. The goal is Johnson's 10th of the season, giving her sole possession of the CSUSM Women's Soccer Ail-Time single-season scoring crown. "It feels great," said Johnson after the game. "All the hard work is finally paying off." For Coach Ron Pulvers, while it wasn't the prettiest win, it was certainly a big one, given that this was one of only two regular M en's soccer survives against Embry-Riddle, w ins 5 -2 was clear there was no love lost, as evidenced by the 14 comIn a game that played out like bined cards the teams were isthe undercard to tonight's UFC sued.

Based off the novel Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the movie travels between the world of dreams and reality. In the film, Dr. Atsuko Chiba and her staff experiment with a machine called the DC Mini. Using the DC Mini, Chiba—also known as Paprika—and her patients enter their dreams. One day, the DC Mini machine goes berserk and the dream world begins to come to life. It is up to Paprika to find the reason why the experiment failed in order to stop the mayhem before the dream world engulfs the real world. PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMAZON.COM pride picks HALLOWEEN'S l EST H MO FUCUS O tk Karas (2005) Tatsunoko Production made the original video animation (OVA) "Karas" in celebration of the company's 40th anniversary. The film concentrates on a supernatural community living under the radar in the midst of human society in modern day Shinjuku, Tokyo. When the Shinjuku police department receives several cases of mysterious deaths throughout the city, they are unaware of the local demons responsible for the murders. As the tension between the two realms increase, character Yurine awakens the new guardian Karas. Karas must now restore balance between natural and supernatural, while protecting his own life. "Karas" is a masterful piece of film work with an interesting blend of 2D anime and*3D computer-generated images. The character Karas can also be found in the Wii game "Capcom VS: Tatsunoko." Let the Right One In (2008) The second best thing from Sweden after Ikea, is John Ajvide Lindqvist's vampire horror-romance, "Let the Right One In." Released internationally in 2008, the film, directed by Tomas Alfredson, follows 12 year-old Oskar, a loner, tortured at school by a band of bullies, and Eli, his neighbor, also 12 (in vampire years)* who Oskar discovers is a vampire, responsible for the grisly murders happening in their Stockholm suburb. The pair form an alliance based on Oskar's vow of secrecy in exchange for Eli's protection from his tormentors at school. Thefilmadheres to traditional vampire folklore but injects it with an unsettling darkness, broaching themes of death, disfiguration, pedophilia, and violence. A metaphoric iceberg, it takes more than one viewing to even begin understanding the psychological weight of this story. The subtitles make the film a literary experience, and although the premise outlines a budding romance between human and vampire, the film transmits an intensity that "Twilight" lovers Bella and Edward will never touch. An American remake - "Let Me In" - is set to be released later this year. «KM AUDITION The Blair Witch (1999) The premise of the film may be simple: three film students attempt to uncoyer .the secrets and truths about the legend of the Blair Witch only to go missing and never seen again, save for the discovered film footage of their camera. But the execution of this film is where it exceeds clichés and expectations. The terror that students Heather, Michael, and Josh experience in the Black Hills Forest of Maryland are drawn out in hand-held style, dark, quiet and realistic, leaving the fear up to the viewer's imagination. The Blair Witch Project is a film that still chills viewers eleven years after its release, and it is a great film to revisit in time for this coming Halloween. hot off t he reel Audition (1999) Based on Ryu Murakami's novel of the same name, "Audition" was directed by Takashi Miike in 1999 and is one of the most multilayered and prolific horror films made. This Japanese film is incredibly different from the constant blood and gore that Hollywood produces. Without relying on graphic violence, "Audition" takes its time to slowly build up tension, twisting the story in directions you never thought it would take. While the film is visually mild in comparison to most slasher films; it's the concepts presented that will haunt you well into the night, with visuals burned into your memory. Immediately recognizable by those who've seen it, you need only mention the burlap sack scene for people to know exactly what film you're talking about. By the time you get to the end, which features the most unbearably visceral torture scene in film history, you'll find yourself wondering why what you. With incredible acting and voyeuristic camera angles, Miike's "Audition" is a disturbing masterpiece that will have you needing serious mentally preparation for a second viewing. paranormal activity 2 H alloween C ostumes! 2 0 % Off with CSUSM Student I D Large Selection of Halloween Costumes including: Leg Avenue,Roma,Dreamgirl, & ForPlay including special orders.

While the film delivers plenty of surprises that will have you jumping out of your seat, the overall experience will leave you feeling just as empty and shortchanged as thefirstfilm. Without spoiling the film's events, "Paranormal Activity 2" tells the story of the Rey family. With their one-yearold son Hunter and teenage daughter Ali (Molly Ephraim), Daniel (Brian Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden) find their lavish home quite literally shaken from a mysterious supernatural force. Each reacting to the unnerving events differently, the family is slowly terrorized by doors slamming, eerie BY MILA PANTO VICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER footsteps resounding upstairs, pans falling, and a myriad of creaking sounds. It isn't until things get out of control that Daniel makes a dangerous decision that gives way to the 2007 film. With a new writer (Michael R. Perry) and director, "Paranormal Activity 2" functions in exactly the same way as the first. You may jump from a few scenes that are designed to garner that exact reaction, but by the time the film is over, you will feel just as disappointed as you did upon leaving the first film. The film succeeds in making you tense and nervous and as long as you can get past the complete failure of the sudden ending, you will have a great time being creeped out by basement doors and dark staircases, making "Paranormal Activity 2" a great film to see for Halloween. �DROPPING THIS WEEK BY FAITH ORCINO PRDIE STAFF WRITER How to Train Your Dragon DreamWorks first showed the 3D movie "How to Train Your Dragon" in March of this year. Directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois transformed Cressida Cowell's book into a feature film.

The Student Media Festival is a celebration of thefilmsof the creative minds on campus. The Visual and Performing Arts Department hold the event each spring on campus. The festival allows students to use their creative prowess to produce afilmfor an audience. Furthermore, the festival highly encourages students to participate and submit their works for the chance to gain recognition from their peers. It also gives students the opportunity to be discovered by those in the film industry seeking new talent. Many entries will be accepted, however only a jselect few will be presented at the festival itself. The festival grows each year, so students are encouraged to polish their films early in order to increase their chances of being featured. The pieces are judged by a jury of fellow students in a number of categories, which include Best Social Justice Project, Best Personal Memoir, Best Experi- mental/ Performance Work, Best Narrative, and Best Documentary. Past winners of these categories have received prizes such as Apple Store gift certificates, computer software and hardware, and cash prizes. Students from all majors are welcome to participate and place their entry in the festival and are free to choose their own subjects. However, thefilmtopics are dependent on the category they are competing for. Subjects in the past have ranged from the lighthearted such as bowling, cats, and jabs atfilmproduction to more serious topics like drugs, cancer, and foreign culture. Johnathan Berman of the Communications Department explains, "What's great about this festival is that it showcases and celebrates the creative work of students from across the campus and allows us to share this work with fellow students, friends, family, teachers, staff, and industry professionals." The festival is open to the public and admission is free and will be catered with free beverages and food. Last year's festival was hosted by actor Jose Yenque who has beenfilmedin programs such as "Law" and Order: S VU," "CSI: Miami," and the 2000 film "Traffic." The deadline for turning in films is in the spring, so there is plenty of time to start working on entries. The festival will take place sometime at the end of the Spring 2011 semester.

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Greenman Here's Why: Lady Gaga - Who doesn't want an excuse to wear a blonde wig and no pants? "Avatar's" N a'vi - The film didn't clean out the Academy Awards f or nothing. If you're thinking of going fantastical, there is nothing more supernaturally magical than being an electric blue humanoid from a different dimension. "Jersey Shore" Characters - Dressing up as your favorite Guida/o is probably the best way to pay homage to the show we are all secretly - or not - obsessed with. "Harry Potter" Character - Deep down inside, a lot of us are still waiting f or our letters from Hogwarts. /Shedding our muggle attire f or one night helps us embody our inner witch and wizard. Vampires and "Twilight" Characters - You read the books. You watched the movies. You have the soundtracks. You own a "Team Jacob/Edward" shirt. You are Twilight. "Alice in Wonderland" Characters - Lewis Carroll's story has been retold in so many different ways by so many different people, i t's only fair to have your say in the representation of literature's wildest tea party. Here's Why Not: Giant Baby - because they freak people out. Adults in diapers are very unattractive... and creepy. Darth Vader - Because it's hard being social with a mask on, and to take it off would defeat the purpose of even attempting to be old Darthy. Plus, you risk sounding like a smoker who has just conquered the Cesar Chavez plaza stairs on campus. Not hot. A Black Person, when you are not - There is always someone every year at every party that somehow thinks it is a good idea to dress up as a black person eVen though they are not black. BAD IDEA, even if you do not mean it in an offensive way. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress - She might be popular, but forgetting this outfit will do the rest of the world a favor. Recreating the meat dress outfit Lady Gaga wore to the MTV's 2010 VMAs this year is not only gross, but highly un-hygienic. You might as well wear fresh road kill. The male crotch "outfits" - Whether it's a horse peeking out from a stable saying "petting zoo" or a tossing ring game, it's highly arrogant to think anyone will want to ride that pony after such a crude invitation. Ironically, these costumes are pricey (considering how little fabric is used). Greenman - Famous from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the costume is an awkward green tight spandex unisex body suit that does not show your face. Its body-hugging form shows a little more than people would like to see and makes it hard to eat, drink, and be hit on.

Modern elections can be confusing for many prospective voters, especially young people looking to make fact-based decisions.

Today, the CSUSM Veterans Center serves several functions. The center not only provides a place for the ever-expanding population of student veterans to hang out, but also provides much needed information on the ben- efits of being a student veteran. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) works with the CSUSM Veterans Center to help student veterans. The center serves as an intermediary to guide the process of acquiring benefits from the VA. The CSUSM Veterans Center mediates between students and the VA in order to ensure students get the most help possible. Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill, student vets are eligible to receive help with their tuition and l^^^ffifi fees, monthly housing, books, and supplies. Legislation like the Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed easier reintegration of veterans into schools once their service is complete. It is available for veterans seeking undergraduate or graduate degrees, as well as vocational and technical training. The Veterans Center recruits veterans as potential students to CSUSM by setting up booths at junior colleges and military bases. Their goal is to let veterans know that CSUSM is a veteran friendly campus that strives to help them as much as possible. The CSUSM Veterans Center also provides information on veteran life outside of school. They help student vets find out what veteran activities are taking place in the local area. While information is essential, the Veterans Center serves as a friendly environment for student veterans to relax, drink coffee, watch TV, or surf the web. The center features a large TV that the vets use to play some of their favorite movies including "Avatar," "The Hurt Locker," "The Dark Knight," and "Super Troopers." Student veterans enjoy a movie at University Hour. When two members of The Pride staff told me they wanted to do a mock debate for the paper, I raised my eyebrows. I may have also rolled my eyes. We've all been inundated with political information during this election cycle, and I'm starting to become a bit indifferent. You might be, too. However, the issue of immigration is always on the edge of our consciousness as San Diegans. When Jillian and Amy said they wanted to debate a hypothetical proposition, involving temporary closure of international borders, I gave it some thought. This issue is becoming more and more polarized, and it may be something we see on our ballots at some point in the future. The opinions included in this debate do not represent the beliefs of any staff member at The Pride, including Jillian and Amy. They are assuming roles as part of an exercise, meant to teach and inform. To put it another way, they got sick of all the ugly debates during this election, so they made an intelligent one of their own. We've in- MOCK STUDENT DEBATE Amy Salisbury: Jillian, do you want to start us off? is free and open to everyone. The center is located on the third floor of Craven Hall. The Veterans Center is not an official school club; therefore, the center does not receive an operating budget from CSUSM. They welcome donations of anything from DVDs to food. As the population of student veterans grows, so does this community of men and women eager to earn their degrees.

The audio file and a longer transcript are available at csusmpride.com. Please feel free to comment and share your opinion online, in a respectful manner. There are currently seven student veterans running the center with room for expansion. Two of the members of the Veterans Center are on active duty in the Army Reserve. The CSUSM Veterans Center also helps sponsor various events throughout the semester. On Nov. 9, they will be holding their annual Veterans Day celebration at noon in the Tukwut Courtyard. It will feature a color guard of CSUSM student veterans and feature a message from the deputy commander of Camp Pendleton, Col. David Myers.

AS: Ok, well, I appreciate your points of view, Jillian, but I believe that, I differ slightly in my assessment of illegal immigration. First o f f , immigration has been a part of this country since its inception. There would not be an America without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be diversity without illegal immigration. There wouldn't be an America without this diversity that has come here, whether through the system or not, and that's the bottom line. There are ways to become a citizen of this country legally, and that is one of the arguments that I hear quite often about illegal immigrants is that they choose not to become a citizen. They choose to not follow the rules of the country that they are wanting to live in. But becoming a citizen is one heck of a process, and some people come here with eight children and they don't have the time, and they work 20 hours a day and they don't have the money to buy the books to study all the things they get tested on. Jillian Kerstetter: Yes, I will start us o f f . One of the main arguments that is usually presented by a lot of political parties, political news activists, everything like that, is that illegal immigrants, however unfortunate their circumstances are from their country, have repeatedly taxed our own economy, meaning having to accommodate illegal immigrants or students in our schools, them taking away jobs from our working class. It's just become more of a problem for us than it has really been helpful for them. It's always been a Catch-22 situation, but I think at this point, we need to take a step back possibly, and look at the potential damage that could be See DEBATE, p g4 done to our regional and potentially ourfederal sectors if we keep allowing unregulated immigration, or illegal immigration.

The reason they come here is under hardship, and when the country that suggests freedom and equality imposes this on people who just want a better life, it is a contradiction in and of itself JK: That is a very good point. And surprisingly enough, I do agree with some of them. We should be a country that does as we claim, takes in the tired, the weary, the poor. And I alsoagree that this is a country of immigrants. Like every other country in the world, we should have a system for becoming a citizen of this country. If you can't follow that system, you shouldn't be allowed in. AS: You're right, countries maintain regulation by imposing laws on anyone who wants to be a part of that country. That is not the illogical part. Perhaps what needs to be done is to create less stringent rules on what it takes to become a citizen. They just want to come to a place where they can have a job. JK: What is America saying to those countries that these illegal immigrants are coming from? What about their own power as a country to help their tired, their weary, their poor? I think it's almost undermining them to say that we offer this great refuge... If you want to talk about the more pertinent case in our scenario, of California, considering this has to come up. Obviously that is the more pressing issue as far as illegal immigration. Why aren't we extending a hand to the Mexican government? Offering them solutions , you know, money, whatever to help rebuild their government that is failing their people? AS: Well, although I can't name specifically the things that this country does for other countries, I know based o f f , I don't know, common knowledge that—we don't—we're not passive. We are not a passive country. We don't stand by and allow for injustices whether in our country or another. I think i f s unfair to suggest that America is trying to take on the problems of the world because I don't think we are. JK: I agree.

JK: Naturalized citizens are citizens. I think we have to look more at what's happening now. I'm not saying that the border closures would be for forever. Immigration is a positive aspect in some cases, like you just said, it's on a case-by-case basis. However, at this point in time, it has been a heated problem that many people have many differing opinions on. We need to get on the same page. AS: Illegal immigration is not the problem. Policy is the problem. Once the United States gets its policies in order and we stop spending so much, maybe we will stop and realize that illegal immigration is not the problem, it's the way we're spending our money.

Many of these memorials are well-known tourist spots, while others reside like hidden gems for the community to discover and appreciate. With origins dating back to 1914, the Mount Soledad Memorial is one of the more recognizable memorials in San Diego. The symbolic cross stands at 29 feet and is dedicated to Korean War veterans. Surrounding the cross are six walls of black granite, with thousands of memorial plaques engraved with individual stories to commemorate war veterans. Mount Soledad Memorial holds a magnificent view of the coast, placed high above La Jolla, and serves as an important place for visitors to take a glimpse into history. This memorial is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is located along La Jolla Scenic Drive South. For specific driving directions, see the memorial's site: http://www. soledadmemorial.com/indexiitm. Closer to San Marcos is the Wall of Courage, a memorial in Escondido's Grape Day Park. The memorial is the result of funds raised by a local elementary school, veterans' organizations, and the Escondido City Council. The Wall of Courage stands as a tribute to the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. The statues consist of two men and a woman standing in front of a wall that is covered in plaques with the names of those who served in the military from World War I to those who currently serve today. Grape Day Park holds many more memorials, including a Pearl Harbor Memorial and a Veteran Memorial dedicated to men and women of all branches of service.

("This Land is Your Land," Bruce Springsteen) Found on Live 1975-1985, the Boss's-rendition of Woody Guthrie's American classic features Springsteen in fine form, making a nice little tune ooze with emotion. Also in vintage Boss fashion, in this version the audience hears a seemingly spontaneous story to preface the performance. Did you know "This Land is Your Land" was written in response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" Woody disliked the song and wrote "This Land" in 1940, in appreciation of the common people. It's a fine song, but would I stick the original in my iPod? Not a chance. But Springsteen's version? I already did. song is "Changes," by Tupac Shakur.

Even if your own musical taste doesn't include hip-hop, "Changes" has a way of making people delve deep into the significance of America's mixed culture. It's 2010, and the United States is still fighting issues of racism and eurocentric dominance. We can take a few cues from Tupac and try to make some changes. Whether these issues in his song are personally relatable or not, everyone can understand his message that prejudice exists and needs our attention. Tupac encourages all people to create the changes we want to see. As elections are approaching, you might ask yourself what's the point of voting? We can change tomorrow by having our say today. The time to act is now. College students have a voice worthy of attention. So CSUSM, use that voice, speak up! And as Tupac said, "It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes."

The event included many booths where visitors could get a henna tattoo, and stop by the wellness center booth, where health information was passed out, and resources on maintaining a healthy sex life were available. In addition to booths, the event was served food, water, snacks, candy, and back and hand massages. Thee event also featured a red carpet where people had the opportunity to strut down with confidence and make the statement of "I am beautiful and proud." Jenilee Remigio, the Communication Coordinator at the Women's Center said, "The purpose of the event is for women to embrace their bodies as who they are, what they look like, and know that they are beautiful just the way they are, and to challenge society's beauty standards." Unfortunately, society has put a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way. This pressure can be found mostly in American media, which presents certain images to young girls of what a woman should look like and what beauty is. TV comj mercials have also become much r more provocative. The only way for women to completely break I out of this ingrained body imf age idea is by completely loving themselves, and throwing away \ the idea that beauty only comes in one form.

Men and women fought alongside each other for the same cause and in the same squads. The filmmakers chronicle a group of female veterans known as "Team Lioness," which consists of Specialist Shannon Morgan, Specialist Rebecca Nava, Major Katie Guttormsen, Captain Anastasia Breslow, and Staff Sergeant Ranie Ruthig. Through WWDE diaries and interviews, the film captures the feelings and experiences of this pioneer group of soldiers. In her diary, Captain Anastasia Breslow wrote, "I still can't believe that I was in a firefight. Me, a female signal officer, someone expected to support from a desk was out there. They needed a Lionness team so badly, that even as a support officer I was pulled in. I hope I don't have to do them very often but, I will never try to get out of it."

PoIicy Of Truth-Depeche A student and a veteran An insight look into the lives of military students BY VANESSA CHALMERS ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Honoring our Veterans is an annual tradition come Nov. 11. For those of us who may not be directly linked to veteran, the perception of one may often be misconceived as an older, pony-tailed grandpa, eager to reminisce about the old days. While many of our grandparents, indeed, are veterans and worthy of that stereotype, the image is not all-encompassing. At CSUSM, veterans walk our halls, are in our classes, and share the same burdens of student life as us. However, their academic lives are tinged with the experiences that only a life in the armed forces can bring. When asked what one of the most challenging parts about returning to civilian life as a student has been, vet Elijah Artiaga confesses, "Making friends." Having come out of an camaraderie formed with the people he served four years in the Marines with, finding people with common life experiences has been a difficult mission but, Artiaga is not alone. The Veteran's Center at CSUSM, located in Cougar Central, offers a common ground for veterans to hang out. Fellow vet Nighat Beg explains that after having served in* the Navy for 10 years, the Veteran's Center has allowed her to meet people and make lasting friendships outside of service. For Beg, her challenge came in the form of fashion. "I had to buy more civilian clothes!" she said. Approaching college with years of military experience in tow has definitely instilled some beneficial learning tools in many student vets. Responsibility and punctuality are two things veteran Aaron Green has been glad to apply to his academic career. "I come to class and hear students make weak excuses about being late, because their alarm clocks were broken, and I think, 'Really? Your alarm clock was broken?'" Many veterans, like Artiage, join the armed forces to fund their college education, either attending school while in service, or resuming their education after their service is complete. As a result, student vets come to college with more life experiences than the incoming first years who transition to college straight from high school. Often times, their experience in the service influences their career path, like Beg, who explained that having worked with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients in the Navy has inspired her to pursue a graduate degree in Social Work, specializing in PTSD. For incoming student veterans, Beg encourages openmindedness. Moving from a highly organized environment to one that is more lax in time, duties, and even fashion, it is important to "think outside the box" and be open to new situations. As for the upcoming holiday, our vets have veterans of their own they would like to honor, such as Green's friend Erik Wegmann in the Navyfightingpiracy off the coast of Africa, and Chad Geddes' family member Carlos Ashlock, who went MIA during Vietnam. As Nov. 11 draws near, The Pride encourages you to remember to honor the veterans past and present who have dedicated their lives to make ours what it is in this country: free, strong, and resilient. Thank you to Nighat Beg, Aaron Green, Elijah Artiaga, Chad Geddes, and Travis Riley for their contributions to this piece and for their service to our country.

This action packed film, starring Tom Hanks as Capt. John H. Miller and an all- star cast (Matt Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore) set the standard for one of the most graphic battle scenes in a movie. The first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" begins with the June 6 1944 and Allied troops storming of the beaches of Normandy, France. The worst part of this opening scene is a dying soldier lying on the ground screaming for his mother while his entrails are falling out of his stomach. "Saving Private Ryan" is not a movie for the faint hearted. The film wonfiveAcademy Awards. Honorable Mention: Black Hawk Down (2001) Best Depiction of the War on Terrorism: The Hurt Locker (2009^ Last March, "The Hurt Locker" scored six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) making Kathryn Bigelow thefirstfemale director to win Best Picture. Jeremy Renner plays the lead as Sergeant First Class William James, leader of a highly trained bomb disposal team. Set in the year 2004 in Baghdad, the movie focuses not on political or social problems, but the hardships of a soldier's tour of duty. Dangerous bomb diffusion scenes reveal the skill it takes to survive in a place where nobody can be trusted. "The Hurt Locker" shows the intensity and stress war can put on the soldier. Honorable Mention: No End In Sight (2007) Best Romance in a War Film: Gone With The Wind (1939) "Gone With The Wind" appeared at a time in American history when life in our country was bleak. The country had suffered through the Great Depression and World War II was engulfing all of Europe. The plot of the film - the tumultuous period of the Civil War - paralleled to the catastrophe Americans were suffering through during "Gone With The Wind's" release. Thisfilmbecame an instant American classic. Clark Gable (Rhett Butler) and Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara) portray one of the most heart wrenching romances in a movie. O'Hara suffers through losing her status, husbands, innocence and strength, a child, and ultimately, her true love (Butler). Honorable Mention: Casablanca (1942) Least Historically Accurate: The Patriot (2001) Set in 1776, during the American Revolution, "The Patriot," follows the life of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a French-Indian war hero. Martin lives as a farmer in South Carolina with his seven children. Martin remembers the brutality of the French-Indian war and decides to remain on the sidelines of the Revolution, until his family is endangered by British troops. Some of the inconsistencies of this film are a torching of a church full of people (never happened), slaves being able to enlist in war (never would have happened) and an unfair exaggeration of British aggression toward Americans. This film did not make as much as it was projected to at the box office. Honorable Mention: Pearl Harbor (2001) Best Philosophical Message in a War Film: Apocalypse Now (1979) "Apocalypse Now" explores the madness of the Vietnam War. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "Apocalypse Now" delves into the minds of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) and Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) during one of the most horrid wars in history. Cpt. Willard is sent to kill an insane Kurtz, but this journey changes Willard in ways he did not know possible. Coppola explores human nature and the darkness war can instill on the human mind. Honorable Mention: All Quiet On The Western Front (1930) PHOTOS COURTESY OFAMAZON.COM THE FIGHT CONTINUES in Call of Duty: Black OPS New enhanced technology enables multiplayers to enjoy new missions in a whole new way BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER The war rages on as "Call of Duty: Black Ops" arrives in stores on Nov. 9.

The Prestige Edition is only available for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems. According to the game's official website (www.callofduty. com/blackops),players have more options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games, "Black Ops" offers the choice of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play.

FIND OUT ON P. 8 FILL YOURSELF IN ON THE AWESOME CONCERTS TAKING PLACE IN SAN DIEGO ON P. 12 ast Wednesday, Nov. 10, the California State J —^University Board df Trustees approved a two-step tuition increase for the Cal State system. According to a press release by csu.edu, the increase will sustain enrollment, classes, and services for current students. The first tuition increase will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2011 as a five percent addition of $105. A 10 percent increase, $444, will become effective for fall 2011, according to the CSU. The addition to already inflated tuition and student fees have many students wondering where their money goes. " I'd want to see more improvements made to c ampus" said Rachel Hernandez, a senior majoring in Kinesiology. "It's rough for students paying out of their own pockets, but as tuition increases, financial aid increases, too." Students who have been in the CSU system for several years, like Monica Rodriguez, a M.A. student in Literature and Writing, who also received her B.A. from CSUSM, have experienced the brunt of many fee increases in the last few years. "I feel angry considering the CSU system started out free, and its purpose was to bring higher education to people who couldn't afford college," Rodriguez said. Dr. Don Barrett, associate professor of Sociology, is the president of the CSUSM chapter of the California Faculty Association. The Pride approached him for a comment regarding the CSU fee increases, and he prepared a statement on behalf of the CFA. "In general, CFA has opposed the fee increases for many of the same reasons that various student groups oppose thè fee increases. We are concerned about the increased debt faced by many students for attending college, the very high likelihood that higher fees will discourage some students from getting -the education that would benefit them, and that fee increases will further reduce access to education for students from social groups that have his- • torically been under-represented in education. While the CSU system has been very good at reserving a portion of the fee increases to address exactly these sorts of concerns, the fee increases do become a hard fact of life for a large portion of students. Given the current state of the economy, this is not a good time to be saddling students with significantly higher educational debt. "On a broader level, we are concerned that the fee increases reflect the state legislature's continued inability to find a way to adequately support higher education. It is this broader concern that motivates much of CFA's legislative actions, including our efforts to encourage students to contact their legislatures about education costs. A related question that comes up with such fee increases is whether the CSU administration might, itself, find other means to save money (e.g., reducing administrative costs) that would reduce CSUSM TUITION TIMELINE 2006-2007 $1260 2007-2008 $1386 2008-2009 $1524 the size of the increases needed. Along these same lines, CFA has regularly supported a bill to increase transparency in accounting for the funding of university auxiliaries, but the governor has now twice vetoed that bill. "Whether the fee increases are going to come down to the individual campuses and result in an increased number of [class] sections is something that the administration will decide. Logically, however, it is important to note that the fee increases do not necessarily mean an increase in overall budget for the CSU. Though the legislature, this year, returned some of CSU's budget to levels that were higher than last year, the state has a new budget crisis as of [last] week. If this new crisis results in less money from the state for the CSU than was promised, then the fee increase is going to have to make up for some of that deficit. Clearly, the answer to keep us from having additional needs for fee increases in the future is political pressure on the legislature." �WHO IS MR. ALPHA CHI?

The Jenna Jauregui men represented ten countries and continents around the world: Distribution Manager Italy, Scotland, U.S.A., AustraLewis Dillard lia, Iceland, Mexico, Ireland, Pride Staff Photographer Aaron Jaffe Jamaica, Africa and Brazil. A few technical difficulties started before the event could proceed. The contestants were judged on three rounds. Round one consisted of introducing the contestants and their Alpha Chi coaches. Enrique Iglesias's song " I Like I t" played during Mr. Italy's (Brandon Barnes) intro. Some of the .highlights of the introduction round were Mr. U.S.A's (Garrett Yack) introduction with Miley Cyrus's "Party in the U.S.A.," Mr. Ireland's (Nick Bowser) j ig and Mr. A frica's (Ashton Harvey) backdrop photo. During round two of the competition, the contestants presented themselves in their best "formal wear." Alpha Chi emcees asked the participants numerous questions and the boys were graded on their responses. Cameron Mclaws (Mr. Scotland) was asked what he would do if he won the lottery. He answered, " I would give most of the money to my parents, since they are great supporters of mine and travel with the rest." Justin Mon- tes (Mr. Jamaica) was asked to use three adjectives to describe himself to which he responded, "Short, dark and handsome." Mr. Australia (Ken Lalonde) presented himself in his military attire and responded to the question, "What is the biggest goal you have accomplished?" Round three displayed each person's talent. The contestants proved to be stiff competition to each other. Each talent was a mixture of funny and sweet. Many of the talents consisted of dancing and singing. Daniel Mason (Mr. Iceland) replicated Napoleon Dynamite's "Vote f or Pedro" dance, Yack danced to Vanilla I ce's, "Ice Ice Baby," Harvey brought back 90s memories with C isqo's, "Thong Song" and Paolo Leveratto (Mr. Mexico) sang along with Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Brian Buttacavoli (Mr. Brazil) presented a self-penned song and piano composition to the Alpha Chi girls. Buttacovoli dedicated the song to his mom. While the judges deliber- ated on the winner, the Alpha Chi women raffled away gift baskets including a CSUSM g ift basket, San Diego Chargers and Padres g ift baskets and a holiday g ift basket donated by the sorority Alpha Xi Delta. Leveratto (Mr. Mexico) placed as contestant with most supporters. Harvey (Mr. Africa) came in third place, while Bowser (Mr. Ireland) placed second. The big winner of the night ended u p being the contestant who "joined a week before the competition," Brian Buttacavoli (Mr. Brazil). Mr. Alpha Chi 2009 crowned Buttacavoli "Mr. Alpha Chi 2010." Buttacavoli said it felt "Absolutely, phenomenally amazing" to be crowned Mr. Alpha Chi 2010. He hopes to be "the best representation f or Alpha Chi Omega that he can be."

OPINION CORNER:L0TER BY AARON JAFFE PRIDE STAFF WRITER All students at Cal State San Marcos must know what the LOTER is and what needs to be done to make it happy. LOTER stands f or Language Other Than English Requirement and it is necessary f or graduation. CSUSM wants its students to be "prepared f or the demands of a diverse and globalizing world. So every student must demonstrate a proficiency in a language other than English." What does this mean though? What determines proficiency? Well the Language learning center answers that questibn with seven choices to fulfill the requirement.

However, after names of individuals under the age of 18 my experiences with the LOTER, or those victimized by a sex crime. my views have begun to shift.

In the entire 23-campus California State University system, only seven require foreign language f or graduation. Out of those seven, CSUSM and CSU Monterey Bay have the most stringent requirements. Out of those seven campuses the proficiency testing costs f rom nothing to $10 everywhere except CSUSM. The Language Learning Center (LLC) states that the "exam is looking f or proficiency - not fluency - at the standard CSUSM 201-level" and goes on to state that "if you are testing- in a language taught on campus, you are welcome to come to the LLC to review the 201-level textbook, to ensure that you comfortable with that level." But if the language is not offered on campus they have dictionaries available. I am not sure how much help "the dictionaries are though f or level-specific exams. Since CSUSM does not offer my language, the LOTER can be satisfied by attending classes at another school, which sounds great at first.

But I o ften find myself in a bit of a pickle. While I may hold a deep-seated hatred f or commercials, I have an even more p owerful love of television. For instance, take The Office. I have been a loyal f an since its inception. But I find it hard to j ustify allocating half an hour of my night to watch a 20-minute show with 10 minutes of commercials. So herein lies the dilemma: H ow can I watch my favorite shows without having to sit through all the advertisements? Luckily, we all live in a society f ull of technology that can help us avoid the over-saturation of commercials in our popular media. I feel it would be prudent to state at this point I will only be examining the legal ways to get around commercials, though I still acknowledge that there are alternative methods to access these shows f ree of advertising that are not strictly legal. You will j ust have to discover those on your own. The first method I would highly suggest trying out is a digital video recorder (DVR), or Tivo device that is becoming standard equipment included in cable television packages. Not only does this f ree up time, but gives you complete freedom over when you view the show. But do not underestimate the power of your Tivo!

The price of these apps ranges f rom f ree to a round$10. Although most professors w on't allow the use of phones in class, these apps can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change and email a text document when a laptop has been left at home. H ere's a list of the most useful apps f or students on campus. Evernote- Find yourself needing an easier way to organize, short memos? Evernote is a popular app that allows the user to make a quick text note, attach a web page, record a voice memo, take a photo, or take a screenshot.

The Smokeout is a nationwide event for smokers that aims to inform and encourage people to stop smoking and live a healthier life. There are many Great American Smokeout events held throughout California. CSUSM is one of many Californian universities to host an event and CSUSM is also one of many smoke-free universities, where smoking is limited to designated areas. With more than 12 million deaths since 1974 and an estimated 400,000 deaths a year, tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of death in the country. According to The American Cancer Society, 30 percent of all cancer deaths are related to smoking. Their statistics also claim that 3,400 nonsmokers die each year f rom being exposed to smoke, known as secondhand smoking. The Great American Smokeout became a nationwide event in 1977 and has since brought forward many tobacco related issues and helped start a revolution against tobacco and smoking. The annual event started in 1971 when Arthur P. Mullaney suggested people stop smoking for one day and give the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high school fund. The second event f uelling the development of today's Great American Smokeout was in 1974 when Lynn R. Smith started the first "Don't Smoke Day" in Minnesota. Today, smoking is banned in many public places, and there is raised awareness of how harmful smoking can be. Anti-tobacco organizations and individuals have helped the fight against tobacco use in many ways. One of the latest big changes in the market is the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which was signed into law in 2009. That gave the FDA regulatory control over the tobacco industry's marketing practices, in hopes of keeping tobacco related products and commercials away from children. To participate in the event on campus, all you need is a commitment to quit or to give up smoking for a day. If you are a nonsmoker, you can sign up to be a grassroots advocate and help create a smoke-free environment and smoke-free communities. Gabriel Pena, a student at CSUSM, said of the Smokeout, "I have never heard of the event before, but I think it sounds cool that they help people quit smoking. It is so bad for you." If you are ready for the challenge to put out your last cigarette, the American Cancer Society has self-help guides and support for those wanting to quit on their website. If you are not there yet and not totally ready, the event supports smokers to at least think about the consequences and try to not smoke for the day the event is held.

Y ou've probably noticed. T here's no doubt that we have some great sports teams dedicated soccer players, neversay-"die" track and field people, even a champion surf team. We j ust d on't happen to have an organized football department. But woe unto you if you think that means there's no football on campus. The yearly CSUSM Intramural Football Championships j ust barely came to a conclusion. There was m ud. There was glory. At, least a couple people got kicked in the shins. All in all, that's a great sporting event. But what about football f or people who are n ot, shall we say, football-inclined? I admit, when I watch the commentators on TV do all those " X"s and " 0"s to explain strategy, it looks to me like Salvador Dali playing tic-tac-toe. How do you follow the game when all you see are people running back and forth and occasionally hitting each other? Good news. What follows is a guide to football f or people who d on't understand fdbtball. Teams are on a field. I 'll save you the in-depth description of this since I 'm sure y ou've seen one in person or in the movies. The field is divided into five-yard sections by lines. Those big numbers you see indicate how close said line is to the goal post on each end. On one side, we have the o ffense. You can tell who they are because one of them has the ball. The guy who throws the ball is the quarterback. The football position naming folks were big fans of the word "back": quarterbacks, halfbacks, fullbacks, etc. In f act, it would appear t hey're big fans of fractions as well. Anyway, let's not get too caught up in the names. The main point: a center throws the ball between his legs backwards to the quarterback. I 'm not making this up. The quarterback then throws the ball to a halfback or a wide receiver. Maybe some other players, too. Honestly, it could be anybody. I c an't really tell, and I 'm writing f rom personal observation and Google. Hopefully, the "somebody" is on the quarterback's team. If h e's not, i t's called an interception, meaning someone f rom the other side intercepted the ball. You can tell when an interception happens, because there will usually be a lot of angry people on and off the field, and the coach of the offense team will appear to be cussing. He may appear to be cussing quite a i nt. ^MKÈKKttM spill I III H Ii ¡¡¡¡É '*» ¡ ^ ig! H mkMwM v I h J À Opposite the offense, you have the defense. You can tell when t hey're playing because usually two members of the crowd will hold up a letter " D" and a cardboard f ence. I 'm not making this u p, either. Also, the defense is easy to spot since they d on't have the ball, and they d on't look too happy about it. Everyone on this side is trying to stop the offense f rom moving the ball towards the defense's goal post. One could even say t hey're defending it, har har har. This can involve several types of shenanigans, including knocking over the guy who catches the ball, knocking over the guy who throws the ball, and trying to keep guys f rom catching the ball by entrapping them in bear hugs. Football seems to me a pretty loving sport, all in all, with the amount of hugging. So what's the point? mm With the hugging and knocking down, or "tack- 1 wmEBBm ling" f or terminology f undamentalists, and running around? Players are trying to score. Which could be said of any sleazy club on a Saturday night, but in this case, the offense is trying to run with the ball to the end of the field the defense is trying to protect. When thev reach this end, thev have made a touchdown. They will then throw the ball down, which seems kind of rude since some poor schmuck will have to pick it u p, and then they dance around. I think the game could be spiced up by randomly dancing on other parts of the field, but so far, no team has taken my suggestion. A fter the touchdown, they can score another few points by either running the ball through the touchdown area again, or kicking it through the goal post (the thing that looks like a square-ish Y at the end of the field). I guess this part is so that the kicker on the team will have something to contribute to the scoring system, instead of feeling unimportant and developing low self-esteem. I should probably include a short note about a complex concept I h aven't mentioned yet. If you ever find yourself stuck with a football f an, and you have nothing to talk about, j ust mention special teams. I found myself once on a date with a gentleman who loved football. Conversation died out, so I iust said. "How about the Chargers' special teams, e h?" I d idn't have to say a thing f or the rest of the evening . Jn fact, if you ever want to please a football f an in your l ife, just give them a piece of paper that says " ONE FREE COUPON FOR LETTING YOU TALK ABOUT SPECIAL T EAMS." Depending on the man or lady, this may even b e better than an engagement ring. So t hat's it. Sure, there are tons of subtle nuances, and there may be a lot of people who d on't agree with me about the hugging part. But this should be enough to help you follow a game if you suddenly look u p and find yourself in the middle of a football stadium.

Think again. The newest team is M en's Lacrosse, and even though i t's only a club, it plans to be as competitive as our NAIA-sanctioned sports. Yes, lacrosse is more popular on the east coast, but hey, so are popped collars. Just d on't try telling club President Chase Allvord people in North County d on't care about the sport. "West coast lacrosse is growing at an incredible rate, and Cal State San Marcos lacrosse will be a strong contributor to the quality of the game at the college level f or years to come," he said in an email. M en's Lacrosse joins a diverse group of already established club sports on campus, including soccer and surfing. Yes, there is a soccer team and a soccer club. Club sports borrow elements f rom both official sports teams and intramural sports. Like intra- murals, they are non-sanctioned and student-organized. Like sanctioned sports, they hold tryouts, practice, play games against other schools, and usually even belong to an organized league, which f or the lacrosse club is the Southwestern Lacrosse Conference. Lacrosse became an official club in September, but according to Allvord, "the wheels started turning as f ar as getting everything together back in April. Tryouts f or the team were held between Sept 1 4 - 1 8 , and Allvord said they were wildly successful. "We had 22 guys come out. It was great to see the enthusiasm everyone had f or lacrosse. We are going to have another week of tryouts following the start of the spring semester. "There were a lot of guys who did not know about the team in September and want to play, so w e're going to give them the opportunity to play in the spring." Other clubs in the conference include large schools, small schools, private schools and public schools. So far the schedule includes UC San Diego, Marymount College, Occidental College, Concordia University, and Cal State Long Beach. Some schools f rom the conference have had club lacrosse f or years, but Allvord thinks his squad is ready. "Everyone on the team is ready f or the responsibility of representing CSUSM," he said. "We are committed to playing high-quality lacrosse against high-quality competition."

SEMIFINALS BY KYLE TREMBLEY CSUSM M en's Soccer came within inches of its 2010 season coming to an end on Tuesday, but the resilient Cougars battled b ack, defeating Thomas University (GA) 3-2 in overtime to advance to the AJJL Tournament Semifinals. Fifth-seeded C SUSM improves to 12-3-2 on the season. Fourth-seeded T homas's season ends with a 9 -6-3 record. Whether it was the long bus ride to Arizona or the t eam's general youth and inexperience, CSUSM did not come out playing their best soccer on Tuesday. T he Cougars conceded a goal in the second minute, getting into an early 1 -0 hole. CSUSM would equalize about h alfway through the first half, as Jake Kaiser corner f ound Erik Mueller, who converted the opportunity to make it 1 -1. The Cougars would take their first lead in the second h alf, thanks to one of Alex Rodriguez's trademark throw-ins. H e's created numerous dangerous chances throughout the season with his long throw-ins f rom deep in opponents' territory, and struck again, as his throw-in was inadvertently headed into the net by a Thomas player. That 2-1 score held f or most of the second h alf, but Thomas equalized with seven minutes l eft to play, sending the contest into overtime. A minute and a half into overtime, a Thomas player found himself alone in the box with a near sure-thing chance to end the Cougars' season. However, he drove his shot into the bottom of the crossbar, and it bounced on the goal line before being cleared o ff. Finally, CSUSM captain Bradley Seidenglanz would take matters into his own hands and end the game. In the 107th minute, Seidenglanz received the ball on the right side of the b ox, dribbled across the top of the box, and drove a left-footed shot past the very strong Thomas goalkeeper and into the back of the net, giving Coach Ron Pulvers' squad the 3-2 win and advancing them to the semifinals. "We were not the better team today, but our guys willed their way to win," noted Pulvers following the match.

Telling the remarkably true story of Aron Ralston, Boyle blends heartbreaking fantasy with an excruciatingly painful reality in a film that has visual and emotional resonance. Pulsating with energy, "127 Hours" traps you beneath a boulder and keeps you there in the sweetest of agony as you feel the crushing weight of desperation and the sharp sting of hope. Danny Boyle ("Trainspot- ting," "28 Days Later," and Academy Award winning "Slumdog Millionaire") and Simon Beaufoy adapted Aron Ralston's autobiography, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," bringing Ralston's amazing experience to the big screen. Ralston was made a household name when, while hiking alone in 2003, he found his arm trapped beneath a large boulder, forcing him to amputate his own forearm with a short, dull blade. "127 Hours" beautifully brings those long excruciating days Ralston spent trapped, with limited food and water, to audiences around the world as the ultimate survival story. The way Boyle makes use of the human senses will linger with you long after the movie has ended, showcasing his unarguable talent. Danny Boyle is proof that long-lasting filmmaking, which will inspire for decades, is possible within the Hollywood bubble. By the time the film ends you will feel like you survived with Ralston and that, together, you both just accomplished something no one else in the world ever has. With your chest constricted from a feeling you have no name for, Aron Ralston's story will bury its way into your mind, acting as a constant reminder of human potential and the overwhelming beauty of the world around us.

"There is evidence that the combinations of caffeine and alcohol in these products pose a public health concern," Sharfstein continued. An article featured in NYdailynews.com declared that Four Loko, another caffeinated, alcoholic drink, allegedly caused the death of a 21-year-old fe- male who drove her car into a telephone pole in Maryland. Many states have already placed bans on caffeine-alcohol combination drinks including Washington, Utah, Michigan and Oklahoma. "We are aware of the concerns expressed by various regulators and will ensure that all JOOSE products meet both state and national health and safety guidelines," continued Michail. "As the creator of this category of products, United Brands has always taken pride in the high quality of our products, and we will continue to lead in the development of JOOSE products." The FDA requires that these manufacturers amend their products, or the FDA will take appropriate action to "ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace." Changes for some companies have already begun while others, such as JOOSE, are still in the works. Phusion Projects, the makers of Four Loko, announced on Nov. 16 the intent to remove caffeine from its drinks. Other caffeine-alcohol combination drink makers, Miller and Anheuser-Busch, agreed to discontinue beverages such as Sparks, Tilt, and Bu4 Extra within past ypara. To date, the only approved caffeine by the FDA is as an additive for use in soft drinks in concentrations of no greater than 200 parts per million (ppm). The FDA has not approved caffeine for use at any level in alcoholic beverages. The FDA did not mention any restrictions with the use of mixed drinks such as vodka and Red Bull that can be easily ordered at any alcohol-serving establishment.

TURN TO P. 10 FOR A REVIEW "n a college student's life, convenience is important. I .A credit card makes life a bit easier. With one swipe, the bank electronically sends your money to pay for what you need or want. Collegeboard (www.collegboard.com/) and the Federal Trade Commission give some tips to students about what to do before signing up for a credit card. The truth about a credit card is that you, the spender, are using money that they, the credit card companies, are just loaning you money. It is a common fact that some users forget. The credit card has a preset limit on how much one can spend, but it brings severe consequences if payments are not met. Depending on the card, there is a minimum amount allowed as the monthly payment. The problem is that if you only pay the minimum, you need to send rest of the payment in next month's bill plus what you owe from that bill. In the case that a user misses a payment, the bank or credit card company adds a harsh fine to the bill. Sometimes thefineprint of the contract hides unwanted fees. In the end, it becomes a snowball of debt. Gloria Diaz, a third year Anthropology and Women's Studies double major, gave her thought on the usage of credit cards.

Do read and understand all the fine print. Some cards have hidden charges glow on us daily, and the cloudless open sky barrages us with very cold air (particularly if you arrive at campus early or leave later at night). Meteorologists predict sunny skies for the beginning of the week, but those skies will be cloudless and cold with highs within the 60s. Most days during winter, I still see people going about their day in shorts, flip-flops and t-shirts. To each his own, I suppose, but there are solutions to preparing for the multi-temperature-filled days ahead. As the so-called San Diego County "winter" looms in the distance, it is safe to say that layering is the best method to prepare for the weather. If you are not up for relying on just the sun to warm you, arrive at school bundled up (especially recommended to those early risers), then layer down as the day wears on. Now along with books, you can lug around that large coat that hid in the back of your closet for the past three hot seasons. For being someone who has never experienced snow, but can barely dress right for this weather, I am glad that it does not occur here. One can only imagine the unprepared mayhem that would bring. Many say that the four seasons do not exist in southern California. I really cannot disagree with that statement. Often, it feels as though the weather here is either hot or cold. The hot days usually seem to dominate the cold, and it would not be surprising to find flip-flops and sunny day beach shirts in the wardrobes of San Diegans. Some days we receive a much needed, sympathy-driven cold spell, with strong winds and the occasional random rain clouds (that always seems to follow you wherever you go). What residents of Southern California are used to, but are never quite prepared for, are the unpredictable weather patterns. Southern California is in for a La Niña this winter. Be prepared for dry weather, according to KPBS. org. Due to the coming dry climates, this upcoming winter season should experience little to no rain, which is certainly a relief from the on again off again showers that tend to hit students during the rush hour drive home. These dry spells stir trouble following winter though, with fire as the main adversary of the south.

The trip was organized by Sheryl Lutjens, director of the Women's Studies program, who has academic ties to Cuba going back over 30 years. She made her first journey to Cuba in 1979 - a two-week trip to study Cuban health programs. Since then, she has organized 14 trips to Cuba, the largest for a group of over 50 participants. The last three have been organized specifically as research trips, since conferences are not allowed by US regulations banning travel to Cuba. The trip in October was entitled "Busquedas Investigativas: Exploring Cuban Educational Practices." In this case, Lutjens gathered 17 educators from around the US. Each submitted an in-depth research plan, as well as their curriculum vitae, in order to be approved for a travel visa to Cuba. While the trip focused on education, each participant had his or her own more specific area of interest. Dawn Formo, the associate dean of instruction and academic programs for the College of Arts and Sciences, went to study literacy in Cuba. "Literacy rate in Cuba is amazing - nearly 100%. I went knowing what their literacy rate [was] and within a year of the revolution, they had eradicated illiteracy. We had an opportunity to visit several kinds of campuses... to see what's happening in the pre-schools up to the universities, so I was just very interested in what they are doing, because this is amazing. I mean, how" many countries can say this?" Jodie Lawston, an assistant professor in sociology, was focused on a completely different topic, studying the effect of edu- PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA.ORG cation on incarceration rates. "As you see, every year, there's a 'get tough on crime' emphasis and less funding [for] education in the US," she said. "[I wondered] what criminal justice would look like in a society with high funding for education, whether they focus on rehabilitations versus punishment." The group spent roughly a week in Cuba, visiting Havana and various locations in the Villa Clara Province and touring various sites covering everything from pre-school education to Afrocuban studies to a special school for blind and deaf children. Certain days were dedicated specifically to working with Cuban educational partners on their research topics. According to the trip participants, some of the most interesting cultural exchanges happened outside the educational setting. "I didn't know what to expect, but the people we met were the most gracious I've met. Kind, and gen- erous... in every way," Formo said. "I mean, to experience a culture that has made it clear in so many ways that there are two main priorities, healthcare and education. To feel what it is to walk the streets in a culture where those are the two priorities, and with limited resources, you can't do everything. You make sacrifices... People are not starving, but there wasn't a lot. I mean, nobody wastes. They know how to make thoughtful, careful use of their resources. That was kind of 'wow.'" Lawston also feels that her viewpoint has been heavily influenced by the experience. "Since I've gotten back, I'll tell you that not a day that goes by that I haven't thought about Cuba. One of those most influential trips that I've had," she said. "I didn't expect that to happen." She was also surprised by something unexpectedly missing in Cuba. "I keep telling all my students this, there were no advertisements... There weren't scantily clad women in everything. All billboards were political or educational. It really brought it into light when we landed in Cancun, and the first billboard I saw was [for] Hooters." Lutjens said she is already planning another trip - her fifteenth, based on interest from colleagues who couldn't make it this time. "We may make the gathering a biannual event, rather than an annual one," she said. "Many people who went this year or in past years are interested in returning to continue their research." She does state that undergraduate students cannot attend, though it may be possible for graduate students if they get special permission from the US government. That may not always be the case, though. "I also went to begin conversations about establishing faculty and student exchanges," Dean Formo said, "so that Cal State faculty and students, if interested, could study in Cuba." ¡•I LGBTQ Pride C enter S afe s pace a nd fun p lace BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER . to store their food, the study room also has a refrigerator and a microwave.

The Red Bull Barmaster Competition is a collegiate battle between CSUSM, SDSU, USD and UCSD where college students are chosen to represent their university and compete at bartending. Before the competition, Steven Greene cheerfully said he only had two aims: "To make sure everyone has a great time," and, "to win the Red Bull Barmaster title for CSUSM." Greene did his best to take home the title for CSUSM but came second to Ryan Neville from SDSU. Greene did have a large fan club cheering him on through the night. The CSUSM crowd had green bracelets representing our university and many were dressed in t-shirts with Greene's face on them. Greene and'his friends, in particular, liatf matching m ustaches. The competing barmasters served Red Bull-vodka cocktails to the many college students at the local pub where the competition was held. Most of the crowd was there to cheer for their university, and booze flowed through out the night until the competition ended at midnight.

I N C AIRN« MIM From average ioe to IV chef BY MAYA LIFTON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Sam Zien, better known as "Sam the Cooking Guy," came to San Diego on Nov. 16 and spoke at the Jewish Community Center. The talk covered his life, his background, his experience being on television, and how he reached his current level of success. At first, he was very unsure of his life path. "I never knew what I wanted to do," Zien said. As a result, he followed in the footsteps of his older brother, picked the same major, and went to the same school. After graduating, he found himself working at a job he hated and, For applications and information: he knew he wanted to change careers.

Zien wanted to cook things that other people would also be able to learn quickly and cook themselves. Soon after getting the idea, he made a demo tape and sent it out to five experts in the business. "Not one liked it," he said. As a result, he sent it to local San Diego stations, and finally his demo landed in the right hands. The show first started off as a segment a few minutes long that was played twice a week. Eventually, it grew into a half hour episode. Since then, Zien has experienced an incredibly high level of success with the format. He's won 12 Emmys, produced three books, and his show has become a national series on Discovery's Health channel.

While we are just around the corner from our much-needed Winter Break, the Thanksgiving holiday is a relaxing breather right beforefinalsweek. Thanksgiving is a time to spend with family and close friends. It is also a time where we should recognize all that we have in our lives. However, as poor college students, it can be difficult toflyback and forth to see family for the holidays. That doesn't mean that those who are here for Thanksgiving can't enjoy in all the holiday's festivities. On the day of Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, there will be two separate run/walk events. The Everything from charity events to yumpkinyie feasts for students annual Run for the Hungry event is held in downtown San Diego at Petco Park East. You can choose to participate in a 10K run, which begins at 7:10 a jn., or a 5K run/walk, which beings at 8:15 a.m. The organizations that will benefit from this race are the San Diego Food Bank, Foodmobile, and Jewish Family Services. These nonprofit organizations are dedicated to helping anyone who cannot afford food. The event will also collect food that these organizations can distribute on Thanksgiving. If you can't personally make a donation, there are other ways you can contribute. You can volunteer at the event, which may include tasks such as setting up tables with food for the runners and walkers pnee the race is over, or serving them water throughout the run/ walk. The second option is to ask friends or neighbors if they would be willing to donate canned food for the event. If you are interested in participating in the actual race, you need to sign up ahead of time. To find more information, you can visit the site at www. kathylopere vents .com/hungry/ . In Oceanside, Pacific Marine Credit Union will be celebrating their fifth annual O'side Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day, an event that benefits the Oceanside schools, the Move Your Feet Before You Eat! Foundation, and the Virginia Ann Scheunemann Memorial Fund. The Turkey Trot has several events, including a five mile run/walk, as well as an open 5K run/walk and a "locals only" 5K run/walk, as well as kids' events. The event has raised over $46,000 in the last three years and continues to honor their commitment to fundraising again this year. Whether you wish to participate or just to check it out, you can find more information on www.osideturkeytrot.com But what if you find yourself unable to leave campus? Start the week's festivities early. The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) will be hosting a Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Feast on Tuesday, Nov. 23, from 2:30. - 3:45 p.m. in Commons 206. The University Village Apartments (UVA) will also be hosting a Thanksgiving lunch. Dishes such as turkey, ham, and rice will be served for all in the UVA lobby. The UVA lobby will also have a "What are you thankful for?'' board.

Thompson, a sophomore who led CSUSM to a win at its Conference Championship earlier this month, has proven time and again that she will come through at big meets, and she did so on Saturday. In 2009, Thompson was the wild card that keyed CSUSM's national championship. In 2010, that honor belongs to Carol Schryver, who ran a fantastic 18:33 to finish 17th in the field. While Schryver was expected to be in the team's top-five runners, for hei* to finish third on the team and in the overall top-20 was a huge boost to Coach Scott's team. Fourth was reliable Jessica Sandoval, who has been the team's most consistent runner throughout the season. Sandoval finished 19th at 18:36. Finally, newcomer Suzanne Cornwall sealed thé victory for the Cougars. Coming to CSUSM all the way from Maryland, Cornwell took 29th in the field, and when she crossed the finish line at 18:47, the team victory was secured. Also competing for the Cougars were Jen Albright (79th; 19:26) and Chelsey Cortez (84th; 19:29). "In professional sports, the hardest thing to do is repeat. The next hardest thing is to be ranked first and win," commented Coach Scott. ' The girls overcame a lot, and lived up to all the expectations. I can't be prouder of them." CSUSM becomes the first NAIA school to repeat as women's cross-country National Champions since Simon Fraser (B.C.) wonfivestraight from 2007-2007.

The film tracks Phoenix in 2008 when he announced his retirement from acting to pursue a career in hip-hop, rapping under the name JP. Portrayed as an odd combination of absurd comedy and a distressing victim, you may not be able to trust the film's supposed reliability, but you will certainly be fascinated by the strange ride that Affleck and Phoenix take you on.

PHOTO COURTESY OF APPLE.COM (RIGHT) AND GOMONEWS.COM (BOTTOM) HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is well-paced and will keep you mostly interested and engaged for the 146 minutes of its entirety. Maybe the reason why it is so engaging is because the entire film functions as a great big tease. You wait over two hours for a payoff, enjoying the ride that teasing generally brings, but are ultimately cut short by the credits, receiving no relief. You also may want to refresh your memory on what happened in the last couple films but once you remember, the movie continues on a straight path, leading up to the film's end that will having you sighing over the eight month wait for the climax promised in the final installment, released in July in 3D. Without Hogwarts to protect him, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), with the help from Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), is on the run from the various bad guys who are hunting him on behalf of Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), who takes lessons of tyranny from Hitler with his own style of racial cleansing. Predictably, love triangle drama threatens to break the three friends up as they are stranded in the woods, searching for the four Horcruxes (pieces of Voldemort's soul, remember?). With the film dragging in the middle, it absolutely soars in an animated sequence illustrating the origins of the Deathly Hallows, waking you instantly from the monotony of the film's middle. Also of note is an all too brief dance scene between Harry and Hermione to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "O, Children," which is fascinating in its awkwardly sweet placement. The film briefly pulls in some new faces (Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, and John Hurt), giving the film more artistic credibility, but never uses the actors' full talent (Hurt is only near the end and barely noticed as background). The film also fails to take advantage of some of the other original characters; Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) and the Aryan Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) are merely onscreen for the sake of being onscreen. Their characters aren't used to their full extent, putting their usually sinister doings on hold for the sake of their forced appearances. However, there are saving graces. Rupert Grint, clearly no longer a child, shines as the jealous Ron and little Dobby the elf makes his return in a chorus of "awwwws" and you can't help but join in. James Andrew Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn John Phelps are comedic scene stealers as the twins, Fred and George Weasley, Ron's brothers. Finally, there's Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Fiennes, looking like the illicit lovechild of Nosferatu and a vampire bat with an eerie sweetness that reminds one of Martha Stewart on a bender, delivers a sickly disturbing onscreen presence that has you longing to see his fascinating face in every single frame. Was it truly necessary to break the final film up into two parts? Probably not. Much of Part I consists of the three friends bouncing from place to place, looking to be in a real dire hurry, without discovering much of anything to make it worth their, and our, while. However, the real test will be the final film (in which Gary Oldman makes a long-awaited return as Sirius Black). With six previous films and 146 minutes of drawn-out teasing in Part 1, the payoff better be worth it.

Other Native American leaders on our campus include Dr. Joely Proudfit, part of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. Dr. Proudfit is also a member of the California Indian Sovereignty Center and The Native American Advisory Council. The student-based American Indian Student Alliance (AISA) is an active student organization based on increasing awareness and acceptance of Native Americans. Dr. Proudfit encourages people to come visit the California Indian Sovereignty Center and AISA to become engaged and involved in Native American culture. Any student may join AISA, whether they are Native American or not. Dr. Proudfit said, "If students would like to get engaged in the Native American community, here on campus, they should enroll in some Native American based courses." She went on to say the courses really brought students closer to thè communities around campus. Typically, in the spring, students get to take field trips to local reservations and speak with community members about tribal life. In the fall, community leaders come to CSUSM to talk about the challenges faced by Native Americans. Also, a Native American Studies minor may be taken. Recently, our campus recognized National Native American Heritage Month by showcasing the Native American film, "Older than America." The presentation drew a full house and some audience members had to sit on the floor. The film was the first to be entirely directed and produced by a female Native American named Georgina Lightning.

In the case of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the language barrier between Swedish and English becomes a problem if the original were to make its way to American theaters. Foreign films struggle with American audiences, so releasing them here becomes less desirable. Remakes are also made on the small screen, with shows like "Battlestar Galactica," "The Office," and "V." These shows have their differences from the original material; however, they are still based on the same premise. As remade television shows are given the green light, Hollywood chooses not to support original content. Though some remakes are successful, for example "The Office," most seem to fall short of surpassing the original material. Until Hollywood considers this, audiences can expect to see more recycled movies and shows.

With that said, I also have to mention that I have had the time of my life. The first thing I noticed is that everything in the U.S. is way bigger: the cars, the roads, the malls, stores, portions of f ood, etc. The Mexican influence here can be compared to the Indian influence back home; we have loads of Indian food places while barely any Mexican places whatsoever. Cars here are just massive. Trucks are not at all popular back home, and having one would just make it impossible to find a parking spot as we parallel p art a lot. I also realized the necessity of having a car. Back home, public transportation is very good, so you don't really need a car. Buses, trains and subways are cheap and well maintained. They run regularly, not like the sprinter which just runs twice an hour. Here, you can barely get to a grocery store without a car, while back home, I 'd rather walk than drive. Finding a parking spot would be too much of a hassle. When I first arrived, I asked myself, why do I have to buy books and live with only girls? In England, I barely ever needed %to buy books for school as most of the course books could be found iii the library. The teachers do not expect their students to buy all the books. Also, the double spacing and sourcing is new to me. We use the Harvard referencing system, not the MLA or APA. One of my teachers told me in the beginning of the semester, "Sweetie, your essay is a bit long, about twice as long as it has to be." I forgot to double space because I 'm not used to it and wrote seven regular pages instead of seven double spaced! The dorms here are very different too, way more expensive and in England we have co-ed rooms and RAs. Upon arriving in California, I realized football isn't soccer here. Sports in the U.S. are different, as soccer, which we call football, is essentially the national sport in England. American Football and baseball are much bigger, and we don't even have those in England. .Surfing is also something that is barely possible with the tiny waves and super cold water in the British Isles. The best difference though is the weather. England is cold and it rains a lot. (At the moment i t's 30 or so Fahrenheit in England, so the last thing I want to do is to go back.) It is quite different being able to go to school in shorts and flip flops here compared to rubber boots and coats back in England. I also like that there is always something to do here: music festivals, concerts and great nightlife. The funny thing is that we can drink when we are 18 back home but also have to wait until we are 18 to drive while here you have to be 21 to drink but can drive when you are 16. Both movies and music come out here way before they do at home. I recently heard that "G6" by Far East Movement just started playing in clubs back home, and I also noticed I cannot buy certain songs on iTunes here because they have not been released back home yet and my account is connected to my English address. When I came here, I didn't think people actually played beerpong. Back home we only see it as something Americans do in teenage movies, and we never play it. That is something that I for sure will take with me back home and do with my friends. I think my exposure to all things American has changed me a lot, and I will truly miss SoCal. I 've had the time of my life, and going on exchange is the best decision I 've ever made. I would encourage anyone to go, as travelling and meeting new people is just awesome. �SHOW ME SOME S CHOOL S PIRIT! COUGAR P RIDE: D OES I T E XIST? B Y AARON JAFFE PRIDE STAFF WRITER California State University San Marcos has no identity. Quite a bold statement, yes? Over the last seven years, I have clicked the student button in every survey that asks me what my occupation is. I am looking forward to clicking that button for a few more years given the declining rate of necessary classes being provided at reasonable times. I enjoy being a student and dealing with the real world on my own terms. The one thing I do not enjoy is the daily grind that is campus life (or lack thereof) at CSUSM. In my travels as a student, I have been to many campuses, both in state and out of state. At each and every single campus I visit, I come away with one con- those of us that look at school like a trip to the grocery store with the "get in and get out" type mentality instead of helping build our campus identity. I am not proud of how many of us ayà have to dump our blood, stant: the students at other schools are proud of their schools. More often than not, this pride a direct result of the athletic performances of their teams, whether students are sports fans or not. Are you proud of CSUSM? me, the swer is short and succinct: no. I am not proud of how few of my Cou gar students, faculty, and ad ministrators I see supporting their fellow colleagues or students in both athletic and non-athlet ic endeavors. I am not proud of É i sweat, I and tears to represent CSUSM without the support of those they represent. V In the Fall/ ^m Winter issue of F CSUSM's alumni Hf magazine, Steps, ^ stories of Cougar athletics take up a good amount of space. Maybe the administration has finally real- ized that they do not need to cram Cesar Chavez quotes and statues down our throats to unify us. Maybe they have finally realized that athletics are the glue that hold campus pride together and help new people get stuck in. What are you going to remember about being a student at CSUSM when you graduate? My challenge to you is to take some time out of your hectic schedule to go out and support the students that give their hearts to representing CSUSM week in and week out. Maybe you might just replace those memories of walking up and down stairs with having some fun at a game. You might even find some Cougar pride in the process. PHOTO COURTESY OF CSUSM.EDU HIV a wareness and progress greatest gift ONE petitions to e radicate HIV t ransmission by 2 015 BY DANNY CASTRO CONTRIBUTOR We humans tend to try to find differences between each other and end up segregating based on trivial differences. This holiday season, I decided to see what kind of differences there are in the desires of people that are "different" from one another by asking them what they want for Christmas. Granted, my sample is very small, but perhaps something can be illustrated. Politics and religion have proven to be wonderful tools for discrimination. I 'm aware that there are more viewpoints than I am listing and of the increasing trend against the pigeonholing of people, but I went with the obvious and went ahead and classified. I asked a conservative what he wanted for Christmas: Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac. What do you want for Christmas, my liberal friend? Well, my liberal friend told me she wanted me, which is probably not so typical of a liberal. Good luck with that. I searched for atheists to see what their Christmas wishes were, but alas, they are hard to find these days. I made do with an agnostic and a Christian. I thought for a second that maybe my agnostic friend would tell me that he didn't know what he wanted for Christmas, but instead he told me he didn't want anything. I thought that was what the atheist wanted. And for you, Christian friend, what would you like f or Jesus's birthday? She wants gift certificates to go shopping. I expected more for such an important day. My Jewish friend told me I was silly for asking him what he wants for Christmas. What do a Caucasian, an African American, a Latino, and a couple of Asian girls have in common? I don't know, but I asked them what they want for Christmas. My white friend wants a Hello Kitty bowling ball. My black friend wants shoes. My brown friend wants a pedal board, and my Asian girlfriends want a car and a surprise, respectively. I guess I do know what those people have in common after all: they literally have wishes. Finally, I asked a homosexual person and a heterosexual person what they want for Christmas. , They both said they want sex. I hope they enjoy safely. According to USAid.gov, it is estimated that 5,500 people die every day from AIDS, one third of which are living in sub-Saharan Africa. None of us were given the choice to be born in the circumstances we were born in—we could have just as well been born into extreme poverty. We should put ourselves in their shoes, and most of them probably don't even have shoes. We humans are not so different from one another after all. The trivial differences in the kinds of gifts we want illustrate the trivial differences we invent to segregate ourselves. We are all human. It wasn't my intention to make it seem as if my friends and their Christmas wishes are representative of the groups they identify with—obviously, that isn't the case. I 'll tell you this though, and the birthday boy said it best: "it is more blessed to give than to receive." This holiday season, in the spirit of giving, you should consider giving your voice to help those who need it most. 31,000 babies will get HIV in December for Christmas because thenmothers have HIV. We now have the medicine and treatment to prevent HIV from spreading from mother to child. By giving your voice, you can help get this treatment to those that need it. Please visit one.org (www.one. org/us/actnow/globalfund2010/) to sign the petition for No Child Born with HIV By 2015. The ONE Campaign is made \ up of over two million Americans who have put their voices together as ONE to keep our leaders accountable when they make promises to help the poorest people in the planet. ONE petitions have raised awareness, and our voices are being heard. In 2008, 50,000 ONE members petitioned Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to respond to the food crisis in developing countries and helped keep the crisis on the 2008 New York UN Summit agenda. As a result, world leaders pledged to commit $1.6 billion to fill in the funding gap. Join Bono and company in making your voice heard to keep our government accountable to its promises by making this a world where children being born with HIV is a thing of the past by * 2015. As different as we make ourselves out to be, if President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama can agree on this issue, I think everyone can too. The U.S. and all 192 United Nations member states have already agreed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 (goals include eradicating extreme poverty, reducing child mortality rates, and fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS). Our voices serve as a reminder to our leaders that we care about those issues, that we put ourselves in the shoes of the poorest people who cannot even afford shoes, that we know any one of us could have been born into such circumstances and that we wouldn't want that for anyone, and, finally, that we do not think getting HIV for Christmas is ever OK. PHOTO COURTESY OF DOMINICANNEWSONLINE.COM �POST HOLIDAY BLUES BY REBEKAH GREEN PRIDE STAFF WRITER The holiday break is a time to celebrate. People, for all sorts of reasons, express excitement over holiday traditions, family gatherings, or excitement over the Winter Break. For many though, the holidays arrive with an unwelcome guest: the holiday blues. These blues seem like an issue easily remedied, but in many cases, it can lead to much more serious problems. The stress of holiday shopping, a whirlwind of family gatherings and the inability to visit family and can be a couple of factors that accumulate to holiday blues. Particularly with students, the stress of dealing with the end of the semester added to these issues can easily contribute to the blues. A good source to seek for help f or the holiday blues is the Student Health & Counseling Services, which provides counseling and medical services to students, located across from campus along Craven Road. According to The National Mental Health Association, some effects of the holiday blues include over-eating, drinking, sleeping problems and other issues that can cause bodily and emotional discomfort. A large amount of those afflicted with holiday blues experience it following the new year. Psychology Today lists a few ways to lessen the blues this season including making sure not to set too busy a schedule especially in the already hectic times of the winter season, and remembering that holidays always change each year, and nothing will stay the same, therefore try to accommodate new plans/activities f or the winter bjeak each year. There are plenty of ways to get involved during the holidays too: charity events, local Christmas events, and many forms of community service. The holiday blues are common in individuals, but from these blues stems a more serious PHOTO COURTESY OF BLOGS SFWEEKLY.COM issue. The National Institute of Mental Health, lists Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) as one of the major forms of depression. It states that this disorder takes effect during the winter season, primarily due to the fact that there is less sunlight. Depression, unlike the common blues, is something that may need more attention than simple remedies. Seeking help is not something to be ashamed of. In the end one can only benefit from ridding of the winter blues.

Each class is followed, in parentheses, by the undergraduate requirement it fulfills. Philosophy 110: Critical Thinking (A3) Philosophy 110 explores approaches to nature and logic as well as rational arguments and fallacies used in everyday conversations.

FMST 100: Intro to Cinema ( CI) Intro to Cinema is a fine art requirement class. It is one of the eleven class options CSUSM offers in fine arts. The class explores the four elements of cinema: categories, structures, theories and production of cinema. This is a class for film junkies and people interested in learning about the world of movies. WMST 205: Gender & Identity in Pop Culture and the Media (C2) This women's studies class surveys the way pop culture and the media have shaped gender roles, sexuality and ECON 202: Principles of Macroeconomics (D) Economics courses are not only for business majors.

PHOTO COURTESY OF CONRADSCIENCE.20M.COM TO COMMUTE OR NOT TO COMMUTE? I A M A STUDENT A ND A COMMUTER BY DEVONNE EDORA PRIDE STAFF WRITER Students recognize CSUSM a commuter school. Our school's on-campus housing at the University Village Apartments (UVA) is only able to accommodate a total of about 500600 students, from a total student body of about 9,142. Obviously, a great number of students end up having to commute to campus almost everyday. Luckily, students live in a wide variety of off-campus housing. Living in San Marcos isn't always the best financial choice for a student. So, commuting to school i s the way to go. Others may believe that commuting is hard for a variety of reasons. I d on't think it takes anything away from being a college student. I got the chance to talk with two commuters and asked them what they thought about CSUSM's commuter campus. I spoke with Lia Alvarez, a sophomore who commutes from Fallbrook Monday through Thursday. Alvarez's schedule getting to school consists of waking up at 5 a.m. dropping off her daughter by 6, and trying to make the train that will transfer her to the Sprinter arriving at CSUSM. I as asked her why she didn't opt to drive to school. She replied, "I could drive [to CSUSM] and it would take me about an hour, but I don't like driving." Especially if her husband isn't on deployment, Alvarez's only option is to take the train/Sprinter route to get to school. Downsides to commuting are that she has to be on schedule with everything. "If you miss the 306, you have to wait a long time [for the next] to come and you're going to be late," Alvarez said. Students can take the Breeze bus, but it only comes twice every hour, compelling students to travel on foot to reach campus. While to some, this commute may seem tedious, a good amount of students do take the Sprinter to school. Alvarez said that she sees a "lot of students from Palomar and Mira Costa, around 10-15 students, and about 25 students from CSUSM." Jilliane Douglas, .currently a junior, also commutes. She had previously lived on campus. Driving from San Diego twice a week, Douglas describes some of her experiences switching from San Marcos living to commuting. "[Commuting] makes me go to school more, because I have to make that conscious decision to go class. If I don't go to my first class, it's probably likely I won't go to my next one." Douglas also commented that commuting to school hasn't affected her involvement on campus. In actuality, she believes that it has done the opposite. "Honestly; I 'm more involved with the campus. I 'm going to participate in the Triathlon through the Clarke, and I 'm interested in joining a sorority," Douglas said. "Living on campus—I took it for granted. I felt living on campus was the same feeling of being on campus." In comparison to other colleges, this amount of commuting to school appears to be going against what it is to "go to college." Making the drive everyday and being far away from campus events can make it seem like you're not getting the a complete "college experience." Commuting instills a type of discipline that is taken for granted when students live on campus. Interestingly, no one mentioned the perks of living off campus, such as not having to share a bedroom or bathroom with anyone, doing laundry without quarters, and no one telling you to be quiet after 10 p.m. Tedious or not, commuting can still work. Whoever says otherwise doesn't dictate what is and should be your college experience. �fVow 1(av the/ Kitchen/ Chiloquiles Verdes BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER Got kids?

Chilaquiles Verdes is a popular breakfast dish from Mexico that many hail as a remedy for headaches and queasy stomachs.

California S tate University v sAvw.csusm.edu/el CELEBRATING 20 YEARS SAN MARCOS �M YSTERIOUS CAMPUS S PORTS ARENA WHEN WILL THE NEW FACILITY OPEN I TS DOORS? BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Noah spent forty days waiting f or the world to stop raining. But at least he knew it would be forty days. Our baseball and softball teams are getting their own home on campus, but it looks like the agonizing cycle of waiting begins when the date of its arrival remains a mystery. Cougar sports fans are used to being spectators away f rom school. The baseball and softball teams have spent their first few seasons playing at off-campus sites, like San Marcos High school. The women's softball field opened in time f or spring 2010 and the baseball team will open competition on their home field in 2011. Meanwhile, the multipurpose arena f or basketball and volleyball will open at a date more mysterious, than an Agatha Christie novel. The man who might hold the answer, CSUSM Athletic Director Tom Seitz, was unavailable f or comment by the time The Pride went to print. In an interview with the North County Times in January of this year, Seitz prophesized some things but also came off vague on the indoor arena, which the article explained construction will begin in 2010-11. In the interview, Seitz talked about his desire to start m en's and women's basketball teams, along Volleyball coach, Sarah Güstin, she had no idea when the arena might come to b e. Women's basketball coach, Sheri Jennum, said she did not think about the new facility because it " won't b e ly, the new coaches seem to be completely uninformed about their f uture home court. When the North County Times asked Seitz about the new sports facilities, Seitz quoted the total [ a]n arena would be a terrific addition to our campus and we are currently exploring the possibilities of building one. However, there are no formal plans nor a concrete timeline currently in place for construction/' -Margaret Lutz Public Information Director \\ with a women's volleyball team. In April, students voted in favor of a $60 tuition increase devoted to athletic fees over the next two years in efforts to welcome the new sports. Now, those squads have coaches and scheduled games. Strange- for the whole enchilada at an estimated $50 million. Seitz said, "We d on't have time to wait f or that much to be raised...getting the softball field done will show people that we are moving forward and are able to complete projects and get things done." It's EASY, It's Y ear Round. SeautifuUtf Siottfe built, as we understand, f or at least a year or two." And m en's basketball coach, Jim Saia, offered the most curious testimony of all: "Hopefully, i t's a matter of when, and not i f, the arena comes." In an email, Public Information Director f or CSUSM, Margaret Lutz said that "[a]n arena would be a terrific addition to our campus and we are currently exploring the possibilities of building one. However, there are no formal plans nor a concrete timeline currently in place f or construction." Could it be that the new home of basketball and volleyball might still be in doubt? According to Tom Seitz, i t's unlikely. Since taking over as athletic director in July 2009, he has sent the already thriving athletic program into overdrive. An affiliate minor league baseball club of the San Diego Padres had been considering C SUSM's baseball home as a possible stadium, but after the team stalled, Seitz helped make the decision go forward with a much needed field f or the Cougars. San Marcos sports seem destined to soon compete at the NCAA Division II level. The softball field is a successful operation. The new basketball and volleyball teams are in motion— they j ust d on't have a home. How long will it be before they do? N o one seems to know, and it will undoubtedly be more than forty days. But the Cougar arena seems unlikely to end u p underwater. Earn your degree in education in 12-18 months at APU.

Sadly, however, sometimes these solutions end up creating more trouble. For example, AutoCorrect settings in text messages sometimes d o more harm than good. Depending on the phone and service, this program goes by many names. For example, my phone is a Sanyo 2700 from Sprint. There is a setting in the messages section called "Predictive Text." This setting allows certain phrases to pop up to select while typing a word it recognizes. During a conversation, I tried to say, "Hey, I am at a meeting," but instead my phone sent, "Hey, I am at a meet me at." Luckily, I turned off the predictive text after finding the setting menu. Roberto Barragan,* a third year Mass Media major, also ran into some AutoCorrect problems with his Droid phone. He texted, "Do you wanna hang pants tonight?" when he wanted to say, "Do you wanna hang out?" It at first seems like a funny situation, but it is a growing hassle for cell phone owners. In the early years of the cell phone, before touch screens and full keyboards, the program for the basic 9-key keypad was Nuance's T9. According to Nuance, users gain features like Next Word Prediction, Enhanced Word Completion, and "One Key Press per Letter." Now many in this technologically advancing age own iPhones, Droids, and other new products where a full keyboard is available. The software, now mainly called AutoCorrect, works LEFT: Texters poke fun at the oddly corrected message sent through an Apple iPhone. t what r u doing j like the spell check on Microsoft Word. Type out your message and any "mistakes" found, the program fixes with its preset solution list of words. Now, as people and the world change, so do the languages. Some people create new slang terms for many expressions, and \fchen they input the terms into the phone, the device registers the so-called error as a misspelling for another word. Sadly, there are those moments when we hit the send button before realizing the original message changed.

Champagne, fireworks, good food in the company of friends and family seems to be a winning concept wherever you go. In Paris, wishing people "Bonne année" and exchanging "bisous," kisses, comes with the New Year celebrations. People flock at the famous street ChampsÉlysées with champagne in hand to celebrate and watch fireworks blast off around the Eiffel Tower at the stroke of midnight. In London; the Brits get their drink on for New Year's, and people traditionally gather at Trafalgar Square in central London for the countdown to midnight. The ultimate firework show goes off from South Bank next to the big Ferris wheel The London Eye when Big Ben chimes at midnight. Tube rides are free in London on New Years and so going from a house party to South Bank to see the fireworks should not be too much of a problem. The Italians; in Rome traditionally gather at Piazza del Popolo to celebrate New Yçar's Eye with live music, dancing and fireworks that starts at 11 p.m. and continues throughout the night. In Sydney, more than 1.5 million people gather at the Sydney Harbor to welcome the new year. Firework shows start at 9 p jn., but at midnight the whole opera house is lit up by the many fireworks blasting off in the night sky. A crazier New Year's Eve party than the one at the Thai island of Koh Phangan is hard to find. 50,000 people from all over the world gather at the Haad Rin beach to dance the night away with buckets of drinks instead of glasses, fire dancers, loud music and lots of fireworks. The crowd is young and people celebrate until the tide comes in and the sun comes up. The New Year's Celebration is one of the biggest events in Rio de Janeiro. More than 2 million people gather at Copacabana beach where the festivities start at 8 p.m. with live music. The firework show starts at midnight, and they are fired from boats offshore so all the spectators are safe and can see them light up the sky and the ocean. It is also tradition to wear white clothes and to bring flower to throw into the water at midnight. Kuala Lumpur, the Muslim capital of Malaysia offers a massive New Year's Celebration with streets so crowded it is hard to get anywhere. Most restaurants, bars and shops are open and the best festivities are in the many bars that offer live music and activities. The streets and shops are covered in light and at midnight, a large firework show goes off in front of the Petrona Twin Towers. In Hong Kong both Dec. 31 and the Chinese New Year are two big festivities to be celebrated. The latter is wider celebrated than our New Year, though. People gather in "Times Square," or the Victo-. ria Harbor, for the countdown. From the Harbor large firework shows can be seen with the many skyscrapers in the background. South Africa's Cape Town offers large festivities, though they celebrate New Year on Jan. 1. The locals look forward to the New Year's celebrations weeks ahead and the celebrations are ushered with ringing church bells and gunshots. Houses, shops5 and all public places are covered in gorgeous decorations. Tourists and locals flock at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront were the largest festivities in the country take place and people dance the night away with fireworks blasting throughout the night.

In order to fix those last minute jams, several places and methods can help you. Re-gifting is an inexpensive way to put the useless into use. People gave some presents out of good cheer, but sadly, you could not use in your lifestyle. Instead of letting them gather dust in storage, simply wrap the items up for ones you know may need them. It is a green solution where you save time, money, space and probably some trees along the way. On the subject of saving money, thrift stores are also cheap solutions for gifts. A donated necklace or fishing rod might be what you have been looking for. The Goodwill in San Diego, there are 15 locations to purchase and donate items. Several other non-profit groups have their own thrift stores in the area. Not only can you find gifts, but also you help some of the unfortunate residents in the county. When it is a challenge to find an exact present for someone, buying a gift card is an easy option.

The film follows a group of dream extractors, led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), as they take on a life-altering heist that mvolves planting an idea in someone's mind. Offered his only chance of redemption, Cobb risks his own sanity and grasp on reality to succeed in pulling off the perfect inception. Nolan artfully skews reality with the unconscious landscape, causing you to question everything that you think you know. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, and Michael Cain. "Shrek Forever After" (PG) Shrek is back in the fourth, and final, film of the Shrek franchise. Bored with domestic life, Shrek (Mike Myers) longs for the days when he was a feared ogre. After he is coerced into signing a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, Shrek is thrown into an alternate reality where Rumpelstiltskin is King, ogres are hunted, Far Far Away is a shell of what it once was, and where he had never met Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Eddie Murphy), or Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). "Shrek Forever After" fails to match the comedic gold of the first two Shrek films but it succeeds in surpassing the third, continuing to show an evolution in Shrek's character. While funny, "Shrek Forever After" relies a little too heavily on pop culture references and songs for all of the comedic relief. New to the franchise are actors such as John Hamm and Jane Lynch. "Boy Meets World: The Complete Fourth Season" (NR) Want to relive your childhood? The fourth season of "Boy Meets World" is the perfect answer to the nostalgia you may be feeling now that finals creeping closer. The show follows Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and the life lessons he learns while growing from a young boy to a grown adult, orchestrating college life and marriage. With his best friend, Shawn (Rider Strong), his older brother Eric (Will Friedle), his childhood sweetheart and future wife, Topanga (Danielle Fishel), and his mentor, Mr. Feeney (William Daniels), Cory slowly learns how to be an adult without losing the playful innocence of childhood.

With each film, Aronofsky continues ** to deliver, and "Black Swan" only further ups the ante. Within the competitive and physically abusive world ofprofessional ballet, Aronofsky poses a constructed reality that just may be more truthful than that which is considered real outside of the frame. Channeling Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," the psychologically disturbing "Black Swan" will leave you stunned, stuttering out pieced together fragments of your shattered thoughts. Nina (Natalie Portman) is a dedicated and poised dancer with the New York City Ballet Company who pushes her body and her mind to the limit to be her best. Delicate and childlike, Nina is a perfectionist who still lives with her overbearing mother (Barbara Hershey), while frozen in a ten year old's bedroom. After Thomas (Vincent Cassel), the company director, forces the company's star (Winona Ryder) into retirement, a new star is needed to play the dual role of the Swan Queen for the new " .. inteCCigenty passionate, BrutaC, Beautiful ancCraw. " season's opening performance of Swan Lake. It's immediately apparent that Nina completely embodies the White Swan, the epitome of virginal innocence, but she is unable to bring the seductive Black Swan out from within. With the role in her hands, ** Nina is pushed to her limits when the relaxed and sexually vibrant Lily (Mila Kunis) arrives. With Thomas's urging her to awaken the passion he knows is within and with Lily as a reflection of everything she cannot be, Nina quickly finds herself losing grip on her rapidly fragmenting reality as she pursues the perfect performance. Set in the world of professional ballet, "Black Swan" can easily be seen as a companion film to Aronofsky's 2008 "The Wrestler." Both films show how far pro- fessional athletes will push themselves, forcing their bodies and minds to take on abuses that can physically and mentally cripple them in an instant. Whereas "The Wrestler" approaches the theme through the use of a hardened and aged man, showing the deep vulnerability within, "Black Swan" centers on an incredibly delicate and timid young woman who is internally deeply disturbed and twisted. Every choice made by Aronofsky, the excruciating emphasis put on bloody toe nails and the straining corded muscles of Nina's feet as she stands en pointe f or hours on end, violently and delicately propels forward the story of a ballet dancer on the brink of darkness. After strenuously training for a year and losing twenty pounds, Natalie Portman completely transforms herself into Nina, obliterating any doubt as to her unending talent. Completely perfecting the dual nature of the Swan Queen, she blurs the lines between the timid beauty of the White Queen with the underlying darkness of the Black Queen lurking beneath. With Nina's rapidly fracturing mental state, her perception of reality can never be completely trusted, making Portman's Nina delicately terrifying; the perfect unreliable narrator. While Portman's performance absolutely stuns, leaving you breathless with its intensity, the rest of the cast never dares to solely rely on Portman's performance. Winona Ryder is wonderful as the aged ballerina who is pushed from the spotlight, terrified of her limitations and living with the unending crippling fear of aging. As the seductively sleazy director, Vincent Cassel shines. He pushes and prods Nina, his actions methodical and always with purpose, until she has no other response but to mentally crack. Mila Kunis, in a role completely differentfromthose in her past, slides within thefilmseamlessly. She plays Lily with a free-spirit that is questionable in its intentions, reflecting all that Nina needs to bring out from within herself. Out of the excellent supporting cast, Barbara Hershey is spectacular as Nina's mother. She manages to effortlessly play the role of a domineering mother seen th- rough Nina's cracked perception, subtly layering her character. You have no idea what to believe and in this sense, "Black Swan" completely blurs the lines between reality and its false perceptions, to the point where the mere concept of reality fails to hold any merit. "Black Swan" is as close to perfection as a film can get. Every single decision is thoughtful and nothing is wasted, building up psychological terror to culminate in the inevitable ending. The camerawork is frenetic and claustrophobic, framing countless fast-paced close-ups that place you within the fractured reality of Nina's life. You are never allowed to take a step back from the unending pain that is threaded within the film's fabric. The score emphasizes the slightest sound, magnifying it to a degree that suffocates you. Nina's labored breathing, the unbearable feeling of her nails scratching along her skin, it all works to lock you within the frame and stutter your own casual breathing. Aronofsky expertly uses as many reflective surfaces as he can and films Portman through these surfaces more often than not, portraying Nina more as a reflection than a person, highlighting her rapidly splintering personality. While "Black Swan!' may not be a horror film in the conventional sense, portions of the film will disturb you in ways that a slasher film never could. D on't dare let a film set in the world of ballet turn you off because "Black Swan" is deeply and psychologically terrifying and will easily go down in film history as a rare and perfect achievement. Beautifully framed and emotionally tense, the film is layered so expertly that it is rigid in form but loose in content. Working as a modern adaptation of "Swan Lake" itself, Aronofsky manages to create many self-reflective layers within "Black Swan." The film itself even works as a reflection of the layered Swan Queen; "Black Swan" is a controlled beauty that is wildly dangerous, incredibly free and terrifyingly seductive beneath.

This act would include websites both in and outside the country. This includes any site that has "no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than unlawful sharing of copyrighted material." While there is no debate on whether these sites targeted are indeed acting outside the law, there is concern that the Attorney General's ability to re- moved whatever site he deems "inappropriate" would be outside of constitutional bounds. Opposition to the bill claims it leads the U.S. down a torrid path lined with censorship. After condemning countries such as China for their regular practice of internet censorship, a bill that would allow for similar practices does not seem ideal. The largest issue with the present bill is that the criteria for examining a site is extremely broad, which gives many legitimate websites a cause for concern. The site Dropbox.com is one such company that would come under fire should such a bill be passed. Dropbox is an online storage site where users can upload and store files as an alternative to physical storage. But under this new act, Dropbox would be in violation of storing illegal copies of copyrighted material, due to random users uploading and storing thefilesusing Dropbox's services. Also at risk are revenues from ad services such as AdSense by Google. The small text ads that appear on the majority of sites now would be banned from advertising on the sites deemed illegal. As ads are Google's major source of income, the bill could have a drastic effect on the search giant's revenue stream in the years to come. While the bill has caused concern for many website admins and Internet users alike, there is little to no chance that it will be passed, or even examined, before the end for a media outlet that has been of the current session of Congress. largely unregulated until now. The most outspoken critic of the bill is Senator Ron Wyden (DOR), who described the COICA as "using a bunker-busting cluster bomb when what you really need is a precision-guided missile/' The bill's creation has been met with thunderous applause from the music and film industries, who have been lobbying for stricter control over illegal download of copyrighted material from thé government for years. Whether or not the bill passes, its inception marks a change in the relationship between government and the internet. It marks Photo courtesy of dynamicbusiness .com .au the beginning of a new era of potential censorship and regulation # �SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES BUILDING mrîfMÂL ^sSÄ New addition for CSUSM Many Cal State San Marcos students will soon find their major departments moved to the new Social and Behavioral Sciences building, including Psychology, Sociology, Communication, Mass Media, Economics and Women's Studies, according to a CSU press release.

One way to cut out unnecessary stress is to examine your diet—-reading the nutrition labels on your favorite study snacks can help you spot unhealthy amounts of sugar, fat, and sodium that can slow you down and stress you out. Many incoming students dread the inexplicable freshman 15 and seek ways to avoid gaining weight during their college career. Students do not always understand the difference between advertising slogans and actual health food. Food manufacturers label their goods with false advertisements so they can reel the consumer into buying the item. Some foods are labeled with colorful signs that read "all natural," "supports immune system," "Og trans fat" and "low in sugar." These advertisements trick the buyer into thinking the item is better for them, when in fact the item includes high amounts of other unhealthy ingredients. Of the foods that read "low sugar" there may be different forms of sugar included in the item that are unlisted in the nutritional information sidebar. "Sugar masquerades under a variety of guises, such as dextrose, fructose, concentrates, glucose... and maltose," healthy living adviser, Pooja Mottl said. The nutritional information bar does not list these added sugars, but the ingredient label does. The problem is most people do not know how to pronounce these ingredients, let alone understand what these complicated names mean for their health. "The Food and Drug • Administration (FDA) has refused to include an 'added sugars' line (in grams) within the 'sugars' section," Mottl explained. This tricks the consumer into thinking an item has less sugar than it actually does. Furthermore, terms like "all natural" are vague. What part of the product is "natural?" "Anyone can put the term 'natural' on most foods, since the FDA has no formal definition of the term and doesn't r egulate or rector of EatingWell Media Group said. When grocery shopping, students trying to stayfit/loseweight must be wary of these labels. CSUSM's Wellness Center can help you understand how to stay healthy while in school. "At the HOPE & Wellness Center, we assist students to create a plan on eating healthy and emphasize physical activity/exercising as part of that plan to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and that it's not just about losing weight," Cathy Nguyen, health and H.OPJB. & Wellness Center coordinator said. The Wellness Center is very beneficial to students who would like to formulate a healthy lifestyle. Students think many items marketed as 'healthy' are truly healthy, but the Wellness Center helps you see past that. Common 'healthy' beverages, like juices, teas and smoothies deemed better for you than a soda are actually quite the opposite "VitaminWater is actually not nutritious at all. One bottle can contain...almost the same amount of sugar in a can of C oke" Nguyen continued. "To set up success for healthy dining, students must plan ahead. Bringing food from home is always best because you can control the amount of food that you plan to eat," Nguyen added. Beware of false advertisement, portion size and foods labeled nutritious because the foods you thought were healthier choices could be cloaked in lies!

The booths are lined with cozy Norwegian furs and heat lamps are plentiful. Meanwhile, you are treated to a view of the snow-glazed coast and calm Norwegian sea. Norway has the world's wealthiest per-capita income, and the scenery reflects those numbers. The "T-bane," the city's subway system, features new trains built by Porsche. Sleek, elegant and very fast, the T-bane can take you across the city in no time. Even so, I have found that the Trikk— the older trolley system—can be a much more exciting way to get to your destination. Magnificent views are always abundant, featuring views of Oslo's many old Norwegian buildings and sights like Holmenkollen, the fantastic modern ski jump perched on a mountainside. If you are riding the T-bane to a restaurant, hopefully it's authentic Norwegian cuisine! The cold fish, shrimp or Brie cheese sandwiches are delicious, and sliced bread and "brunost"— brown cheese—are a must-try. I still have yet to gather the guts to taste Norwegian reindeer stew, but eating fishballs with steamed potatoes and vegetables covered in white sauce makes me feel like a local. If traditional food isn't on your menu, Oslo features some of the world's finest ethnic cuisines. This time around, we agreed that the food at Jaipur, an would enchanting Indian place right in the middle of the city served the best Indian food either of us had ever tasted. Another favorite is kabob, a late night Greek/Middle Eastern treat beloved by Norwegians though you can find kabob all across the European continent. The Norwegian people are especially quiet and reserved, but here's another detail one might not notice the first time around: They are among the nicest and most hospitable hosts on the planet. My visits to Oslo are always* "hyggileg" and "koselig:" warm, pleasant, comfortable and generally lovely.

"Fringe" (2008), created by J J . Abrams, director and creator of hit television show "Lost," and film "Cloverfield" (2008), brings the world of impossible science into reality. Character Olivia Dunham, played by gutsy blonde Anna Torv, works for the FBI, specializing in the Fringe Division, a task force focused on cases of extreme abnormality. Torv leads the show by fighting genetic mutations, a parallel universe and of course chasing bad guys *with her long blonde hair easily blowing in the wind. Sexy co-star, Peter Bishop, played by Joshua Jackson (Yes, from "Dawson's Creek"), brings out a romantic side of Torv, as the hard-edged FBI agent softens when she falls for Bishop. But viewers don't think twice about who wears the pants in the relationship, Torv definitely holds the reins. Another leading lady in prime time includes Kate Beckett, in the hit dramatic comedy, "Castle" (2009). Beckett, played by Stana Katie is a leading homicide detective for the New York Police Department. Solving crime in New York City includes plots twists that no one can anticipate. Katie plays a sharp, sarcastic and witty character that wins the heart of famous novelist, Richard Castle, played by Nathan Fillion. Fillion finds inspiration from Katie for his upcoming novel and can lighten the mood of any murder scene with comedic relief. Katie is a clear contrast from the fun energetic Fillion, but the chemistry between the two characters keeps viewers on their toes. Annie Frost knows how to keep up with the boys, as a U.S. Marshall in Dallas, Texas, Frost, played by Kelli Giddish in the high action series, "Chase" (2010). Well-known executive director, Jerry Bruckheimer, placed petite Giddish as a lead character, but don't let her feminine charm fool you. She plays a fierce female justice seeker. "Giddish stars as the lead manhunter, who can hold her own against a perp twice her size," stated a review by Variety. Texas accents and cowboy boots haunt almost every action scene, but don't expect any romance in this series, Giddish prefers to indulge in gunfights and even fist fights. In solving crime, Allison Dubois doesn't need forensic evidence. She solves crimes in her sleep. Dubois, played by Patricia Arquette, a homicide consultant working for the District Attorney in Phoenix, Arizona, uses her supernatural instincts to uncover truths about crime scenes in the popular series "Medium" (2005). Once harshly judged for her strange talent, this daring diva uses her dreams tofindculprits of despicable crimes. Dubois juggles a family life, career and her psychic abilities with cool confidence and stunning composure.

The act prohibited any openly gay or lesbian service members from being asked about their sexual relationships and marriages and also banned LGBT service members f rom telling others about their sexual orientation. The repeal reflects the federal government's intention to make sexual orientation less taboo in the military. The Senate's 65-30 vote on the policy was preceded by the House's vote of 250-175 on Dec. 16. Censure circulated through Capitol Hill as Republicans and Democrats debated the effectiveness of the policy and its constitutional alignment. Both California senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein voted in favor of the hailed as the most comprehensive electronic blackout in history, a plan Mr. Obama has not only not decried but has reserved for his own use in this country. As reports the UK's Daily Mail, "under proposed new laws, President Barack Obama would have the power to cut access to the Internet in the event of a cyber threat to national security." While the law is couched in language designed to instill a fear of "cyber terrorists" and other threats, it is important to know that both the Bush and Obama Departments of Homeland Security define a terrorist as anyone who, among other things, overtly appeals to the "constitution." Despite the governments attempt to stifle the uprising, Egypt is moving closer to democracy and the challenges that lie ahead are huge, while we in the west are bathed in the foundations of Rome and Jerusalem of which democracy is a large part. repeal. San Diego's congressional representatives Brian Bilbray (R50), Duncan Hunter (R-52), and Darrell Issa (R-49) voted against the repeal while representatives Susan Davis (D-53) and Bob Filner (D-51) voted in favor of it. The Don't Ask Don't Tell policy was met with slews of constitutional challenges and political warfare during its 17 year run.

Tadros reflects, "Egyptians might not know what democracy actually means, but that does not make the concept any less desirable.

Perhaps a slightly larger problem for Egypt is the weakspined support it's receiving from the American government and media who are reporting the story in terms of Muslim clerics praying in front of tanks. While there is definitely an extremist angle on the change of power in Egypt, the people are not chanting "death to Israel" or "death to America." They are simply demanding freedom. There was a time when Americans too took to the streets to protest tyrannical rule and rid themselves of oppression. There was a time when America just wanted to be free and average people took up their arms and started fires in government buildings. During this revolution Thomas Jefferson wrote, "The tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of the patriots." Despite the troubles that lie ahead for Egypt, they are watering their tree. Egypt, like a young American, just wants to be free.

In sum, "Tucson reminded us that no matter who we are or where we come from, each of us is a part of something greater—something more consequential than party or political preference." He combined his "schlacking" in the midterms, the sober tone of the new Congress, and a tempered optimism to forge not just political reconciliation but a moderate agenda.

He then took what is typically a Republican issue and made it his own when he asked for the divided Congress to reexamine the tax code. The ultimate objectives are to lower taxes, close loopholes, and create a fairer system for the American people. On the debt and deficit issue, he called for a reorganization of the executive branch, and major budget freezes for the next five years. The president concluded with our success in ending major troop deployments in Iraq, our continued commitment to Afghanistan, and with confidence that America's future will be brighter than its past. �FROM, ASK, T ELL, P . 1 Much recent attention to the policy was brought forth by California native and former First Lieutenant, Dan Choi, who was discharged f rom the military after coming out during an interview on The Rachel Maddow Show. Lt. Choi argued in an open letter to Congress and President Obama that the policy was unconstitutional and actually hindered military effectiveness, "My subordinates know I 'm gay. They don't care. They are professional." The policy was originally supported by the idea that the presence of openly homosexual members in the military would pose risks t o the order, morale, and cohesiveness in the military atmosphere. However, over 17 years, many like Lt. Choi have worked to discredit this idea and instead argue that forcing service members to lie about their identity created more of a hindrance on military effectiveness and morality while simultaneously perpetuating the same moral problem the policy was intended to diminish. However, the repeal of the D on't Ask, Don't Tell policy has not been made official. Though the repeal was passed in both the Senate and the House, and President Obama has signed it into law, the bill requires that the president, Defense Secretary and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff must each certify that the bill will not detract from military readiness. From there, the military has 60 days to officially implement the repeal. Local San Diego Representative Duncan Hunter has introduced the Restore Military Readiness Act which would require additional signatures for the repeal's implementation. This could potentially threaten the fate of the Don't Ask, D on't Tell repeal by slowing down its implementation and extending the status quo. While the congressional passage of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal has slowly opened closet doors for many homosexual service members, it might still be a matter of time before they are able to take the first step out.

"Apparent" because, while The Koala has certainly engendered impassioned responses, the predominantly white males behind the publication have refused to discuss what it is they have wrought — or to identify themselves. At a recent recruitment meeting, they would not give their names and avoided being photographed; they moved the meeting to a private dorm room to exclude critics and news media; and they demanded 30-packs of beer f rom journalists who requested interviews, which, given their likely ages, smacks of soliciting criminal acts — and chal- lenges their legitimacy as a newspaper, as they describe The Koala. It is The Koala's content (downloadable at csusmkoala. com) that most effectively challenges the newspaper claim. Just about every demographic — except straight, white males — is addressed with violent, prurient and/or grotesque language: gays and lesbians, women, rape and pe dophilia victims, pediatric cancer and burn patients, African Americans, Latinos, Asians and Muslims. The Koala is a miasma of isms. Anecdotally, the "rea sonable person" test of The Koala's content suggests that many CSUSM students and staff indeed find much of the content obscene — obscene and hateful. But obscenity remains in the eye of the beholder, and in the United States we can speak moñAk no matter w hat you w ant, y ou c an make your mix with 14 daily flavors and 50+ toppings! visit us orí facebook and twitter! freely whether our speech is hateful, loving or indifferent. More interesting are the test results of The Koala's two advertisers, cougarbookrentals.com and Miramar Wellness Center — "interesting" because it takes fund- ing to publish any speech. The textbook-rental service is, according to bookrenter. com Vice President of Marketing Michael Geller (at 650288-3500), an independent bookstore using bookrenter. corn's open platform, an "entrepreneur" who can "choose to market it any way they want." Nonetheless, when read content from The Koala, Geller's response was, "Oh! Oh god! Okay, that's enough!" An articulate man — and pragmatic — he disavowed any responsibility for cougarbookrental's ad and declared that bookrenter.com "would never, ever, ever" advertise in The Koala. He also said, " I'm going to contact the owner of [csusmbookrentals.com] and first make sure he or she is aware of what this is all about." Then the company will "evaluate whether or not we should attempt to restrict our store partners' advertis- »«ail m m buy o ne g et o ne menchle's carlsbad-paseo carfsbad 5617 paseo de! norte carlsbad, c a 92008 menchle's san marcos grand plaza 133 s. las posas rd. \ san marcos, c a 92078 may not be combined with any other offers, expires 3/31/1T code: pride. menchies.com ing." Whether or not? Hmmm. The Miramar Wellness Center (at 858-689-9098), a' marijuana dispensary, had a slightly more definitive response. An employee who did not identify herself said the Wellness Center had received "a lot of upset calls, a whole lot" and that the manager would not take any more, but she added, "I heard [the ad] was a mistake and they are trying to get it removed." That's promising, but, in the meantime, what to do about the privileged young men who publish hate with anonymity? Read The Koala so you can make informed comments about it (available at csusmkoala. com). Although the thing is no joy, condemning something you haven't read is shallow commentary. And ignorance is not bliss. Contact The Koala's advertisers to reinforce the message that their ad dollars are supporting content that encourages pedophilia, racism, misogyny, rape and domestic violence. If a second issue comes out, contact any new advertisers. State your opinion of The Koala freely and frequently. The right to free speech goes both ways: They have the right to speak and you have the right to criticize what they say — maybe even the responsibility. Hate that goes unchallenged goes on and on and on . Find some peace in this thought: What goes on the Internet stays on the Internet, and one day in the next few years The Koala's publishers will be looking for jobs in competitive marketplaces where respect for diversity, social maturity and the ability to selfedit will be deciding factors for employment. These young men have already round-filed their job applications by exercising a most wonderful right irresponsibly.

Photo courtesy ofblogjnlive.com THE POWER OF STORIES ARTS AND LECTURES SERIES SHARES POWERFUL MESSAGE NANCY ROSSINGOL PRIDE STAFF WRITER This semester's first Arts & Lectures Series event started out with a bang last Thursday night, Feb. 3. Presenter Carl Wilkens pounded his fists on the wall to demonstrate how the killing squad came banging on his neighbors door. Wilkens's neighbor was one of more than 800,000 people who lost their lives in 1994 during the 100 day long genocide in Rwanda. "Every time a life is taken on this planet, it's like drop- ping a stone," Wilkens said, "and sometimes the little ripples are hardly noticed when they reach the shores of America, and sometimes they grow into something like a tsunami." Along with his wife, Teresa, and their three children, Wilkens moved to Kigali, Rwanda in 1990 as part of a humanitarian aid effort. When the killings began in April 1994, Teresa and the children left Kigali for safety, but Wilkens stayed behind as head of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International. He was the only known American to remain in Rwanda during the genocide. Wilkens and his wife now dedicate their time to educating the public through their nonprofit organization, World Outside My Shoes. In order to bring an end to war and genocide, Wilkens believes we should stop thinking in terms of "us" versus "them," or "me" and the " other" He said as a global community, we need to shift to a "we" mentality. "That's where I think our hope lies," Wilkens said. "I think stories are so much more powerful than guns [because they] have the ability to connect us, to realize there's no us and them. There is simply us," he continued. He also stressed the importance of service as a way to change the way we think. Wilkens showcased photos of doctors, nurses, neighbors and children. First, was an elderly traditional healer Rwandan woman, Sula Karuhimbi, her face framed by a bright orange scarf. She had kind eyes. One member of the audience commented that she reminded him of Mother Teresa. Karuhimbi hid and protected 17 people on her own property during the genocide. Some considered her a "witch doctor," and Karuhimbi used that label to her advantage, telling the killing squads that evil spirits inhabited her house. "Labels are so convenient, but at times they are so deadly," Wilkens said. During his recent return to Rwanda, Wilkens visited the Kigali Memorial, and viewed the plaque honoring Karuhimbi. He continued, "How do you memorialize something as horrific as this?'' Wilkens spoke with much admiration and respect of Rwandan women, and of his own wife and daughters, telling heartwarming stories of generosity, courage, and resiliency, and heartwrenching stories of the devastating damage caused by mass rape of Rwandan women. Wilkens called the "sense of . stability," security, and purpose that women possess the "girl effect." Throughout the presentation, many audience members had tears in their eyes. When asked why he came to see Wilkens, sophomore Conner Brown said, "Because he went through such an incredible time in history." "Being able to hear Carl Wilkens speak is amazing," Political Science major Gabriella Pruitt added.

Pop culture magazines show photos of celebrities who tote around Whole Foods paper shopping bags. According to Wholefood.com, the chain commits to 'selling the highest quality natural and organic products.' There are more than 300 locations in the U.S., Canada and United Kingdom combined. Whole Foods originated out of Austin, TX in 1980. The website reveals the store sells all natural meats that farmers or ranchers treated humanely. Whole Foods offers a loan program to local producers of food as well, because they believe that local businesses need a chance to grow and develop. Whole Foods is pricier than all the other health food stores listed. The only Whole Foods close to campus is located in La Jolla. Sprouts Farmers Market: Sprouts developed in Arizona, but expanded its locations to California, Colorado and Texas. Like other competitive 'health' food stores, sprouts.com says the grocery store commits itself to selling the freshest meat, bread and produce. "Helping America eat healthier, live longer and spend less," is Sprouts's mission statement. Their weekly ads run from Wednesday - Tuesday of the following week and consumers may view them online at sprouts.com. Sprouts offers competitive low prices, compared to other healthy stores.

The sudden abundance of Hallmark sentiments and mass-market romance presents a misleading interpretation of the holiday: that everyone needs a Valentine or significant other in order to enjoy and appreciate this day for lovers. However, since its origination, celebrations and meanings behind Valentine's Day are constantly evolving. If you find yourself single this Valentine's Photo courtesy offlickr.com U ï VALENTINE'S DAY IS NOT JUST FOR COUPLES Day, maybe it's time to re-define the way you celebrate love. The modern observance of Valentine's Day, which often includes fancy restaurant dinners and heart-shaped jewelry, has changed drastically since its ancient origin. According to History .com, Valentine's Day began in Rome under dreary social conditions during the rule of Emperor Claudius II. Legend states that Claudius outlawed marriage in order to raise a powerful army of unattached young soldiers. In retaliation, a courageous priest named Valentine performed secret marriages for lovers. The month of February signaled a time for fertility and purification to the ancient Romans. In these times, women were the ob- ject of superstitious ceremonies rather than celebrated as romantic partners. The Roman men sacrificed goats, and boys roamed the streets slapping women with strips of hide in order to encourage fertility. In addition to the hide slapping, women put their names in a lottery to be paired with a man. Fortunately, secretive marriages, hide slapping and pairing lotteries no longer mark the celebration of Valentine's Day, and people are free to tailor their celebrations to match their individual views of the holiday. The predictable dinner and a movie, flowers, candy and gift exchanges present couples with some ideas for Valentine's Day, but what about those currently out of a relationship? For singles, the absence of a romantic valentine may contribute to a day filled with pessimistic cynicism. However, there are many possibilities for an enjoyable day if singles change their perspective. Generosity, kindness and loVe can be openly and vastly expressed to friends and family. If Facebqok love quizzes and Cupid's arrow can't generate romance, get creative! Activities to inspire love and show care on Valentine's Day include time spent making homemade cards for family and friends, leaving encouraging post-it notes for roommates, volunteering time and making a donation to charity. Cards, whether homemade or store-bought, don't have to be traditionally romantic, but thoughtful messages to loved ones.

"We have candy grams and Valentine's for Veterans to honor and support U.S. military members and veterans," UVA staff member Bbwie Tintle said. Whether the gifts or thoughts of Valentine's Day cause excitement, dread or indifference, expression of love doesn't have to be thrown in a negative light by those who scorn the holiday. As Ashton Kutcher said in the film "Valentine's Day," "Love is the only shocking act left on the planet." So celebrate all forms of love this Valentine's Day and enjoy the company of those you hold dear. �grptríh's csusm TERm HiTÍ MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR SOFTBALL UPDATE Brenna Sandberg took the Lady Cougars on her back, carrying the softball team to four wins and a first place finish in the Best of the West Tournament at Pedretti Park in Turlock, C A, Feb. 5 -6.

Campfield Brings Home the Gold Medal Mile f or CSUSM WEEKEND RESULTS BASEBALL correr: a look c r p t r ì f i s previeui MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR As the spring season opens, a f ew Cal State San Marcos athletes are putting in a bit of extra time behind the desk. This year, the captains of each squad have been asked to write a preview of their season's schedule, looking forward to upcoming events and key players. These previews have been aptly titled "Captain's Corner," and are available on the Cougar athletics website, csusmcougars.com. According to Sports Information Director Kyle Trembley, the brains behind the project belong to m en's track and field captain Brett Campfield. The track star, a junior transfer f rom Princeton, approached the athletic department over the winter break with the idea that since captains were designated by their respective teams as representatives, they should to be the ones telling their fans what to expect. Campfield shows off his Ivy írsíce spams the ssasan lcckí an uieí League mind in his entry, explaining the importance of teamwork in an individual sport like track and field. "Watching a teammate battle and compete at their very best is contagious, and makes one also willing to put everything on the line f or the team," he said. a.m. and then have an 18-hole qualifier," she said. "This year, coach made a new rule: we have to run a mile f or every 3-putt we have during qualifying." Cole also said the women's golf team arrives at Lake San Marcos Country Club at 6:30 Four short essays were u p on the website as of Saturday, including those by w omen's golf captain Stephanie Cole, m en's golf captain Adam Loran, w omen's track andfieldcaptain Jessica Sandoval. Cole, a junior, shared some particularly insightful information about the time athletes spend in preparation. "Every Friday, we all attend a yoga class at 6:30 a.m. daily, running drills and playing as many holes as possible until class begins around 10 a.m. Sophomore Loran shared his hopes f or the senior-less m en's golf team. "Comprised of eight men, we rely on team unity and consistency to make it to the top," he said. Sandoval had quite a bit more to cover, due to the massive size ÌÌTi of the women's track team. There are currently 54 athletes on the official roster. The junior f rom Oceanside offered plenty of inside information on the squad's organization, and explained to fans unfamiliar to the sport what some events are comprised o f. For example, "Coach Scott is also composing a relay team that will either run the 4x800 meters or the distance medley relay in which every person runs a different distance, beginning with 1200 meters, then 400 meters, 800 meters, and the last leg runs 1600 meters," she said. A f ew weeks into the season, the baseball and softball teams are currently unrepresented in the Captain's Corner. Still, Campfield and the athletic department have received positive feedback f rom the project, and they are hopeful to feature previews f rom the two remaining captains, Trembley said. For now, the four "Corners" make up a group of fascinating essays that are worth a read, written by CSUSM athletes who are anything but square.

While they may not be the main attraction, they are certainly one of the best parts. However, this year, the lighthearted humor that we expect from America's most watched commercials was replaced with interactivity and special effects technology. A great example is Fox's preview of the animated bird movie "Rio," which featured a hidden clue used to unlock a mystery level in the popular smart phone application Angry Birds. Once unlocked, those who found the code earn a chance to win a vacation to Rio de Janeiro. Get that? While the interactivity and colorful animation benchmarked a new era in interactivity, the commercial just wasn't funny. Special effects also played a key role. Big players like Coke spent millions on a commercial aimed at gamers, comprised entirely of computer animation. Companies like Brisk and Chatter.com also focused on animated themes with commercials starring celebrity voices and likenesses like the Black Eyed Peas and Eminem. Hollywood continued the trend with hi-tech superpreviews for the season's upcoming sci-fi/action films. Movies l ike. Steven Spielberg's "Super 8," the western-hybrid "Cowboys and Aliens," and the comic aas an book manifestations "Thor" and "Captain America" each presented a visually stunning demonstration of their product. This might have been a good idea if we all had movie-theater televisions, but we don't. Everyone can enjoy a good joke but these commercials just weren't funny. It wasn't like humor wasn't in the cards. To the contrary, some commercials tried to be funny but the punch lines never hit. A few standouts did prove to be crowd pleasers and while they represented only a minority of total advertisements, they deserve some recognition. Bud Light's first commercial called "The Hacks," for example, was by far their funniest. The commercial mocks a before-and-after home renovation scenario where the only renovation in the "after" shot was a bucket of Bud Lights on the countertop. The line, "it really opens up the place" got a laugh out of the whole room. Doritos launched a commercial called "Funeral Guy" where a house-sitter successfully saves a dead fish when he sprinkles Dorito crumbs into the fishbowl. He saves a dead plant the same way. By commercial's end, an urn is over-turned and the rest is obvious. Finally, Bridgestone gar- « m ¡ ¡SH nered a chuckle with their ad, "Carma" which featured a man, and beaver, and great traction.

We may never see the funny commercials that we once expected from the Super Bowl. Instead, we may be wise to expect more special effects, technology, and interactivity that begs the need for a bigger television and a better phone. Photo courtesy of usahotworld.com vansuaKO If za.

However, at the onset of an unexpected tropical storm, the team, led by Frank (Richard Roxburgh), is trapped underground and forced to dive deeper into the unexplored terrain in a desperate search for escape. Executively produced by James Cameron, "Sanctum" is a 3D underwater thriller that attempts to push the boundaries of 3D moviemaking and visual stimu- lation: a worthy goal had "Avatar" never been made. Though visually impressive, this film's use of 3D effects is pointless, and it can likely be an effort to acquire more revenue, as the film requires moviegoers to spend $3 more per ticket. Making the movie 3D is a questionable attempt by the filmmakers to boast a more impressive opening weekend profit. With the acting performances being mediocre at best and a poor story development, "Sanctum" relies on intense, overdramatized action scenes to sustain a mild sense of interest. The audience feels as though they are holding their breath along with the divers, awaiting the next possible chance for a gasp of fresh air. This intensity is the only attention keeper for the movie's 103 minute runtime, as the first 30 minutes are especially sluggish. Though semi-entertaining, "Sanctum" is a dismal follow-up for Cameron's groundbreaking movie "Avatar," and it seems as though having Cameron's name on the poster is the one and only selling point.

AMY SALISBURY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Breaking up is hard to do, especially around Valentine's Day. But usually, it's for the best, right? The signs of a relationship's demise are rather apparent. Most notably, potential break ups are preceded by the couple not really doing anything together anymore. This presents an awkward situation for everyone. People start asking questions, then the news breaks: the White Stripes, drummer Meg White and guitarist Jack White, officially break up. During the middle of last week, the news traveled faster than a 15-year-old on Facebook, as the blog posts poured in. In a symbolic death march, articles popped up chronicling the best of the Stripes' coupling and revealing that the brother-sister act was actually an amicable solution to the end of a four-year marriage (although that wasn't much of a secret to begin with). The White Stripes are best described—or, were best described, rather—as a raw, minimalist, a esthetically conscious duo. With hits like "Fell in Love with a Girl," "Seven Nation Army" and "Blue O r c h i d ," the White Stripes gained a solid following over their 14-year existence, Their* last album, "Icky Thump," was released in 2007. In 2009, Jack White joined and helped found The Dead Weather, a "compilation band" of sorts, with Allison Mosshart of Discount and The Kills, Jack Lawrence of The Greenhornes and The Raconteurs, and Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age. So it's pretty easy to see where Jack White's energy will go post-Stripes, especially since The Dead Weather performed at Coachella last year. I should probably mention that Jack White is also in The Raconteurs with Fertita, starred in "rockumentary" "It Might Get Loud" in 2008 with members from U2 and Led Zeppelin and he has his own record label, Third Man. Feel free to call him busy. Meg White is another story. According to the White Stripes' still active website, her acute anxiety often changed the band's plans. In 2007, the band's fall U.S. tour was cancelled due to "health issues ," citing that White was unable to travel. After that, the band chose to cancel all 2007 tour dates post-September including a scheduled tour of the U.K. She remarried in 2009—in Jack White's backyard, no less. There has not been much news regarding Meg White's musical present or future, but in mid-2010, Jack White reported to the Times of London that he suspected Meg White's anxiety no longer existed. Although the Stripes are no longer together, their musical contributions fail to present signs of dissolution. Their run as a band was significant enough for other artists to cover the most classic of Stripes songs. Of course, break ups are never exactly f un. Fans of the band, however, may relish in their latest release, "Under the Great White Northern Lights," a documentary and live album of the band's last ever tour.

Days before the protests and riots started, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak effectively shut off the Internet to the entire country, the rationale being, "Kill the Internet, kill the dissent." While, ultimately, the shutdown of the Internet failed to suppress the protesters, it did spark some new controversy in the U.S. Senator Susan Collins, the ranking Republican of the homeland security and Governmental Affairs committee, first introduced an Internet "kill switch" bill in December of last year. "The bill is designed to protect against 'significant' cyber threats before they cause damage," Collins said. Much of the popular news surrounding this "kiil switch" bill suggests that the president will be given the power to entirely shut off the Internet in the U.S. The true objective of the bill, while not as Orwellian as initially believed, still gives a large amount of power to the president. The bill, if passed, will give President Barack Obama, or any president hereafter, the power to "demand turning off access to so-called 'critical infrastructure' where necessary." Many of the supporters of the bill are coming under flak for previous comments decrying Egypt's misuse of power when shutting off the Internet. With the reintroduction of the "kill switch" bill, Senator Joe Lieberman has also shown his support through a statement released earlier in the week. "We would never sign on to legislation that authorized the president, or anyone else, to shut down the Internet. Emergency or not, the exercise of such broad authority would be an affront to our Constitution," Liberman said. The statement failed to cover the fact that a provision in the bill will forbid the courts from reviewing any decision by the president to shut off the Internet. While there is indeed cause for concern, the bill has many hurdles to jump before becoming law. With the reemergence of the bill, many civil liberty groups have publicly spoken out against the proposed legislation. Wired has reported "About two dozen groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Library Association, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Center for Democracy and Technology were skeptical enough to file an open letter opposing the idea."

Cheers and applause exploded among the streets of Cairo as thousands listened to the one-minute announcement televised on state television by Vice President Omar Suleiman confirming the resignation of Mubarak. He also announced that Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will "run the affairs of the country," proceeding the resignation of Mubarak. Chants such as "God is great" and "Egypt is free" echoed the streets of Cairo, while others cheered and waved the coutry's flag as the people of Egypt finally reached a moment long awaited throughout the uprising. As Egypt continues its struggle to achieve democracy, it is known that in order for the country to become stable, it must work on improving many of the country's democratic institutions. For now, with the help of the military, people in Egypt will remain safe as the country strives to rebuild itself and its government. Top: Egyptian protesters stand atop tank.

On Nov. 4, 2010, students thought that California State University San Marcos was going to be added to that infamous list after the emergency response system was sounded and the campus was swarming with policemen in just minutes. With a lockdown in effect and students unaware of what was happening, all judgments were made based on rumors floating around different social media sites. Ending up just being a class play that a student oversaw and perceived as a threat, the CSUSM campus got to see first hand what happens when the emergency response protocol takes effect. "Students must always recognize the emergency system and react as if it is a real emergency every time, no exceptions," Bruce Bradley ¡said, occupational safety and environmental health specialist for CSUSM. Bradley recommends all students be prepared for any possible threat on campus and follow all directions provided by faculty and emergency personnel. He stated that "it is very important for people to develop two mindsets in these days of "unthinkable potential" events; get prepared and stay prepared and always think you will survive no matter the circumstances, being tough mentally is as important as being physically fit to be able to perform well in emergencies." When asked about his reaction to learning that the campus threat was false, Bradley responded, "At first I was thankful that no one was hurt, followed by, what were they thinking, endangering people witîf a clear knowledge of the potential consequences is juvenile thinking." Since that incident, there have been three additional situations where fake or simulated firearms have been brought onto our cam- pus . While none of the other three incidents resulted in a full scale response, all such incidents have the potential to endanger our campus community stated a recent press release from the campus Office of Commumication. "Bringing a weapon, even a toy weapon, to campus is a violation of university policy. University Police should always be notified if an unusual activity is planned that may be a cause for concern," President Karen Haynes said.

The iPad's release anniversary is only two months away, and within the past year a slew of devices have challenged its popularity. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak are currently the iPad's biggest threats. Though these devices are all tablet computers, they each have distinct features that can mean the difference between a purchase or a pass. The operating system is the most obvious difference in these devices. The iPad, starting at $499, currently runs on Apple's iOS 4.2.1 on AT&T and Verizon's 3G network. Apple's iPhone arid iPod Touch also run on this same operating system (which can be a positive or negative aspect depending on your own experiences). Both the Samsung Galaxy Tab, starting at $549 and the Dell Streak, moderately priced around $200, run on the Android operating system version 2.2 called Froyo. The Galaxy Tab is available on all carriers that offer 3G coverage. The Streak is only available through AT&T's 3G network. Consumers who already have Android phones or iPhones might choose their devices based on the operating systems or networks they are already familiar with. The iPad utilizes Apple's popular App Store to bring users the largest library of applications to date. However, the Android Market's growing fan base has given Apple stiff competition. While proponents of Apple and Android have their disagreements regarding which store is better, a number of the most popular apps can be found in both the Android Market and the App Store. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak were designed for portability. The Samsung features a seven-inch display and the Dell features a five-inch display. The displays of both devices are in widescreen, a component ideal for watching movies. The iPad's display is a whopping 9.7 inches with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. When choosing the right device, size does matter. Though bigger does not always mean better. The Streak can be a handy tablet that fits in most any purse or large pocket, whereas the iPad can serve as a light laptop replacement suitable for backpack storage. Each device has attractive features to set it apart from the other two. According to endgadget. com, the Streak is the only one of the three with the ability to make phone calls and send texts, allowing it to serve as a 1" no matter what you want, you c an make your mix with I 14 daily flavors and 50+ toppings! phone replacement. The Galaxy Tab and the Streak have front facing cameras, giving them videochatting capabilities. Both the Samsung and the Dell feature cameras while the current iPad model does not. However, the iPad does have three different models with varying storage sizes; the largest is 64 gigabytes. The Samsung has a 16 gigabyte model and 32 gigabyte model with a microSD slot allowing for more memory. The Dell has only one 2 gigabyte model with a microSD slot. While these tablet computers are relatively new to the mainstream market, consum- ers can expect to see more devices in the coming year with Bottom left: Samsung Galaxy even more enticing capabilities.

According to biography.com, the origins of the prideful observance began in the 1920s with the determination of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the second black student at Harvard University, and with the fraternity Omega Psi Phi's creation of Negro History and Literature Week. Woodson chose the month of February to celebrate black history in recognition of Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, also to acknowledge the abolitionist Frederick Douglass whose birthday falls on Feb. 14. Leaders in black history, such as the influential civil rights movement icon Martin Luther King Jr., influential civil rights icon; Barack Obama, the first African-American U.S. president, and Jtsse Owens, the talented track star have achieved worldwide recognition for their accomplishments. However, Black History Month is more than just Photo courtesy ofmlkonline.net a reserved time to reflect on past achievements. The observance focuses on celebration, encouraging African-American historical research and garnering inspiration for culture's future. Popular media celebrates Black History Month nationwide. The entertainment television channel MTV provides coverage and stories of AfricanAmerican musicians and icons, such as Rosa Parks, throughout the month of February. Black ican Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) hosts various events to honor Black History Month. The association holds a Black History Trivia contest, in which winners respond to questions throughout February via email and have the opportunity to win gift cards. More information is on the CSUSM website under "News and Events." Both active participation with on and off-campus organizations and indulgence in learning about Black History Month on television and on the Internet allows for an appreciation of history and accomplishments. Many movements, rights and entertainment have changed lives and the course of American history, so Black History Month shouldn't be overlooked. As time passes, more AfricanAmericans and their talents add to the long list of historically significant events, but as for 2011, those who celebrate black history must embrace the past and present, and express hope for a Entertainment Television, better known as BET, offers online bright future for African-Amerarticles, video and interviews icans and their contributions. highlighting significant AfricanAmerican figures in both entertainment and other mediums.

"Promoting safe sex is a positive thing," Ethan Boyer, a junior, commented Thursday after learning it was National Condom Day. "It's good to educate [students] on their sexual health," human development major Celeste Tenchavez said Thursday after visiting the event. Each semester, student tuition includes a mandatory $70 Students »faculty and staff gathered in Library Plaza on Thursday afternoon to play games with names like "Guess the Lubes "Name that STD" and "How to put on a Condom." Laughter and tongue-in-cheek humor replaced embarrassing or uncomfortable subject matter as Student Health and Counseling Services sponsored the National Condom Day and Safer Sex Fair on Feb. 10, which ran from 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) invited a variety of organizations to participate in the event, and more than a dozen tables displayed informational pamphlets, sexual enhancement aids, magazines, brochures, and condoms. There were colorful condoms of many sizes and shapes; there were flavored condoms and even some that were contorted into artwork. National Condom Day is a part of the American Social Health Association's (ASHA) recognition of February as National Condom Month—emphasizing the importance of condom use in reducing transmission risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). According to the ASHA, there are approximately 19 million new M K H H B H I B H health services fee. This fee entitles all regularly enrolled students, part-time or full-time, to health services provided through SHCS: clinic visits, counseling services, flu shots and other vaccines, women's health exams and more. Tuition also includes a $25 health facilities fee that pays for rent and maintenance of the SHCS clinic at PPH, located across the street from campus at 120 Craven Road, Suite 100. Students may consult with a doctor, ijurse practitioner, nurse, counselor, or the health educator. Visits to the clinic or counselor require no co-payment. Minimal fees are charged for psychiatric services, certain physical exams, laboratory or radiology tests, and prescriptions. According to their website, SHCS "strivefs] to promote services and health education designed to prevent and resolve health problems that may interfere with student retention and success." With that goal in mind, SHCS sponsors events each semester. Coming up on Feb. 22 at noon in Mark 102 is Ask the SEXperts, the first in a series of informational sessions on sexual health issues. Guest speakers will give the curious but shy an opportunity to ask ques-, tions in complete anonymity. Cathy Nguyen said she enjoys working in a "nontraditional environment" as Health Educator for SHCS. One of the reasons SHCS offers their services to students is because it is important for students to have access to free medical care, Nguyen said. "This is my passion," she added. Nguyen's job title describes her duty to educate students about health issues and healthy lifestyle choices, but the job itself encompasses a wide range of tasks from organizing events to helping students with class projects. Nguyen's office is located in the Hope and Wellness Center at 120 Craven Road, Suite 108, next door to the SHCS clinic. Students can schedule an appointment for SHCS services by calling 760-750-4915 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. For more information, visit the SHCS website at csusm. e du/shcs/index.html.

This time the circus came to the artificial turf of a football field, on the campus of a local high school. Several dozen media members and guests from around the country converged on Cathedral Catholic High School in Del Mar, gathering to watch Cam Newton throw a football. Newton, this year's NCAA football Heisman Trophy winner—the best player in college football— came to San Diego in January to work with local quarterback coach George Whitfield, Jr. Whitfield prepares young quarterbacks for the college game, traveling with them to major colleges around the country making connections with coaches and scouts. This fall, when NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was cames trophv ra räum Vinnen suspended for thefirstfour games of the season, he chose Whitfield to help Jrim stay in game shape. Newton needed Whitfield to help him transition from the college "spread" offense to the style of the National Football League. Warren Moon, hall of fame quarterback and mentor to Newton, said on Thursday that he had directed Cam's father Cecil Newton to Whitfield. Before college, Cecil had supposedly peddled Cam to play for Mississippi State University in exchange for $200,000. The NCAA decided Cam had not known about it. The son went unpunished, and Cecil agreed not to attend the national championship game. After Cam led his Auburn Tigers to victory, Cecil was photographed embracing his son. A representative of the family said he had watched the game outside the stadium. Fast forward to Thursday morning: the event was meant to mimic Whitfield's normal workouts with Cam, meant to prove that the kid could play professionally. After over a hundred of holds us toting cameras, notebooks and voice recordersfiledonto the field, Newton played parts of a pretend game of football with twelve young men his age, all from Southwestern* College in Chula Vista. Whitfield calmly directed Cam as he tossed them passes, avoided their half-hearted rushes, fired footballs between them as they posed as defenders and jokingly offered them Icy-Hot. Meanwhile, as NFL legend Moon watched from the sidelines, Cecil Newton went unseen. Though made from the mold of omnipresent, caring sports fathers like those of Tiger Woods and Venus and Serena Williams, scandal had turned Cecil into a shadow figure. Surely enough, shadows loomed behind the windows of the press box overlooking the hoards of spectators. "We had over 300 media requests, and we had to deny 250 of them," James Woo, Whitfield's Director of Operations and Cal State San Marcos student, said. "We're talking about a lot of powerful people seáis su that made the time to come see Cam Newton throw a football." The list included Trent Dilfer, former NFL quarterback and current ESPN commentator. Dilfer, known as one of the sports media's harshest critics, seemed skeptical about Cam Newton before the event. After Cam showed off, Dilfer couldn't stop gushing. "That was phenomenal...if scouts saw this, they'd have been slobbering," he said. According to Whitfield, the idea for the event had been jointly created by father and son, wishing to build momentum entering the pre-draft combine: workouts in front of team scouts. "Mr. Newton is still a human being and a dad," Woo said. "Wouldn't you do the same thing for your son?" No one could blame Cecil Newton for shying away from the field on Thursday. For perhaps the event had a second purpose: guiding the family's wish to move on from scandal and focus on Cam Newton's future. If so, at least temporarily, it succeeded.

CSUSM recently created VPA 181, a class dedicated to learning the process involved with the conceptualization, collaboration and creation of a large-scale mural. For this project, students, artist and CSUSM professor Doris Bittar and artist Isaias Crow work to develop a work of art for the UVA. Crow pursues to mesh his unique artistic qualities with civic engagement programs to bring communities together through art. To ensure community inclusion , the artists invited members of the surrounding San Marcos community to participate in the project and work alongside CSUSM students and faculty to represent the aspects of diversity that make up CSUSM's community. The mural is still in its early planning stages. Students, faculty and community members search to pinpoint what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community. "We want to represent us students, you know, really capture the heart of Cal State San Marcos, and we're still searching to find out exactly what that means," CSUSM student participant Brittany Galante said. To answer that question, Galante and other project members set off to interview students from all corners of campus, invoking questions about what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community and what makes CSUSM so unique. The CSUSM community offered words such as "diversity," "inspiration" and "passion." These words serve as a sneak peak into what the mural will convey. The project leaders divided members of the project into groups, where each group Pre-Doctoral Scholarship Eligible students include: «Juniors •Seniors • Graduate Students Scholarship includes: •Fully-funded Summer Internship •$3K Scholarship for Symposiums, College Visits, application/test fee waivers and more •CSU Faculty Sponsorship required With aspirations to obtain For applications and information: doctorate and become Graduate Studies & Research university faculty. www.csusm.edu/gsr l ieCattira« Stata University Tel: 760-750-8824 Email: gradstudies@csusm.edu proposed ideas for the mural. Then, each group presented their ideas to the rest of the project members and leaders. Now, Crow and Professor Bittar can amalgamate ideas from each group into one cohesive mural design. The conceptualizing process of the mural represents the community because it aims to portray multiple groups of people and ideas that aim to unite and improve our campus. The mural's location will be inside the lobby of the "UVA. Since the project's leaders and members want an accurate account of CSUSM student life, they plan to take a careful amount of time to propose their vision. Participants' actual painting of the mural is set to start later this semester. Soon, the mural will greet CSUSM students and residents with an aim to make them feel even more accepted and included in the CSUSM community.

In a matter of seven hours, individual day and four-day badges to the 2011 Comic-Con convention completely sold out. This year's convention sellout is an impressive milestone compared to the 2009 convention, which sold out of badges in roughly six months and last year's convention, which sold out in just two months. Since Nov. 2, 2010, Comic Con attempted to sell badges online to fans twice, but both times, two different sites experienced high amounts of traffic at selling time and crashed before fans purchased any passes. Three months later, relieved fans heard a new site called TicketLeap felt confident their site could sell the badges without overcapacity. Tick- etLeap guaranteed their site to handle a simultaneous amount of thousand people on the site without crashing. Fans relief turned into pure frustration at 9:05 a.m., when the TicketLeap site sent out error messages saying, "We'll be right back. TicketLeap is currendy down for maintenance," and, "We are currently over capacity, and the site will be back momentarily." Fans felt defeated by the new site, especially after TicketLeap's twitter page read, "If you see an over capacity mes- sage, hit refresh. We are under heavy loadrightnow and it should smooth out." After continuously hitting refresh buttons in different stages, some buyers slowly made their way through the pass purchasing process. TicketLeap averaged that fans requested the site 400,000 times per minute. Comic-Con will not disappoint the fans who defeated the ticket purchasing process. This year's convention features a large amount of comic book and sci-fi/ fantasy blockbusters slated for release through 2011 and 2012. The movies "Thor," "Captain America" and "Transformers," premiere later this year, so directors will speak on their films at the convention. Comic-Con may highlight films slated to premiere in 2012, such as "The Avengers" and the much-anticipated "The Dark Knight Rises."

The San Diego Jewish Film Festival portrays the Jewish experience in the form of contemporary films. Our campus also offers a course on the Jewish culture. This semester, the class, History 383: Women and Jewish History, taught by Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, surveys Jewish culture and the roles women partake in, as Jews. Dr. Sepinwall requires History 383 students to attend a film from the San Diego Jewish Film Festival. "The festival tries to bring to life the diversity of the Jewish experience around the Photo courtesy of lQcc.org world," Dr. Sepinwall said. Everyone understands the struggles the Jewish community endured throughout documented history, but the festival picks films that shed new light on different realities Jews faced. "Tfle films range from Holocaust themes to...Jewish in American baseball and in the Civil War. The films also focus on universal issues like teenage angst, feminism and childhood memories," Dr. Sepinwall added. One film premiering at this year's festival is the French made, "La Rafle." In English, "La Rafle" translates to "The Round Up." The film showcases the true story of French Jewish refugees being 'rounded up' to go to the horrible Eastern European internment camps of World War II. Dr. Laurance Baron, Nasitir professor of modern Jewish history, opened the film with a few words. Dr. Baron spoke of the history of Jews in France, reminding the audience that France was the first country to grant Jews equal rights. "La Rafle," reveals the travesty of these equal rights being rescinded. The spoken language of the film is mostly French, but audience members quickly adjust to reading English subtitles. "La Rafle" is beautifully composed of rich scenes that propel you into 1940s France. Themes of loss, gender, importance of family and human atrocity against each other capture the hearts of the viewer. French actors Jean Reno and Melanie Laurent portray medical physicians, who care for Jewish children while they wait to be shipped off to die. "La Rafle" is one of 40 plus films featured at the 2011 festival. Anyone interested in learning more about Jewish culture or more on life is welcome to attend the festival. "The festival has always been really welcoming to CSUSM students," Dr. Sepinwall said. "Students in History 383 and other classes have been offered free tickets, thanks to the festival and the Leichtag Family Foundation," she added. The San Diego Jewish Film Festival runs from Feb. 10 - 20. This year, the festival added three new venues in Clairemont, Carlsbad and conveniently at the Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18, along with their existing venues in La Jolla and Mission Valley. Actors and directors from the films and guest speakers precede or follow most^ of the presentations, so you may get a chance to speak to them.

Even archaic CD shamelessly allows the mixing of Photo courtesy ofkcrw.com thousands of songs with no qualms about how their redistribution might affect, well, everything, I imagine artists create albums with the idea that they will be listened to in their entirety. Therefore, I abstain from shuffling. With that said, you will note that I was outside my head the other day, as my iPod was indeed on shuffle. Serving as background noise as meaningless as strangers' conversations, the random selections warranted no particular feelings. I know my music well, so when a song came on that I hadn't instantly recognized, I didn't quite know what to do. A glance at my iPod's display read: Joseph Arthur and the Lonely Astronauts, "Faith." Joseph Arthur began writing music as a teenager. The Ohio- based musician dabbled in electrónica before discovering his signature guitar-centric style. In the early 90s, Arthur signed to Peter Gabriel's record label, Real World Records. After five studio albums, Arthur decided to keep his touring band around for albums six and seven, and establish his own label, Lonely Astronaut Records. His latest release, "Temporary People," includes musicians Sibyl Buck, Kraig Jarret Johnson, Jennifer Turner, and Greg Wieczorek. I clumsily paused the song to see if I could compel any more information out of the slight electronic. I had the entire album, but this Joseph Arthur sounded almost nothing like the guy I fell in love with after hearing "In the Sun" off 2000's "Come to Where I 'm From." I slipped a little further out of my head listening to Arthur's haunted voice on "Faith." His grainy vocal offsets nearly cheerful guitar riffs and cymbal-thick drums. "Faith comes in little waves," Arthur offers with a bit of optimism, as "the pain is what makes you believe." The Lonely Astronauts' chorus punches through the heavy-handed instrumentation with bright belts of affirmation making the song's mood more buoyant than glum. Now that my brain is square between my ears, I may confidently propose that to shuffle is to discover. I am in no way convinced that this happy bit of chance absolves any of the aforementioned offenses, but I supposé music's value surfaces when it is listened to rather than heard. Arthur's upcoming tour schedule includes three dates in Los Angeles at the Bootleg Theater, 'Feb. 15, 22, and March 1. Arthur is also performing at Indio's classic music festival, C oachella^ as a member of the band Fistful of Mercy with fellow musicians Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison. , �BEN DEARINGER PRIDE STAFF WRITER DVDs 'Unstoppable" - 20th Century Fox (PG-13) This action thriller starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine hits stores today.

The budget posted on the White House website explains that the president's cuts would eliminate the in-school interest subsidy for graduate students and limit the total number of recipients receiving year-round aid, while the House cuts would reduce the total maximum amount of the aid. The leaders have introduced their respective plans to address the program's deficit, and CSUSM officials say that both plans have the potential to affect CSUSM students. $3,240 in 2011-12, a total decrease of $2,310. To avoid this, the president is proposing to cut other student aid funding such as yearround Pell Grants and subsidized interest on student loans to graduate and professional students. "Under the president's proposal, the maximum award would remain at $5,550 while cuts would be made in other areas. The year-round benefit typically only affects for-profit colleges, which are more likely to have students studying year-round without a summer break," explains Kantrowitz. Eliminating the in-school interest subsidy will likely have a greater impact on CSUSM students as education begins to cost more. Kantrowitz writes, "...losing the subsidized interest benefit will add $1,676 to each $8,500 loan balance by the time the student en- interested in taking action against these cuts "[F]irst and foremost contact their representatives and let them know that students have a voice and that they be heard." CSUSM Official statement: We are deeply concerned about the proposed cuts to Pell Grants and both the short and longer impact these cuts would have on our students and our region. Well over 3,000 CSUSM students receive Pell Grants to fund their college education. Without Pell Grants, a large number of students may not have the means to continue their college education denying our region a pool of skilled and educated workers.

The way people joined to speak out in Egypt during recent events is a good example of how change can come about.

As a result, we will have gained a great deal more knowledge than we started with. Sometimes, we might feel like other people are trying to force their ideas on us.

The most vocal woman gestured and nearly shouted at one of the men who answered her remarks in a slightly edgy but calm manner. In another semester, it would have taken a moment to figure out what they were arguing about, but in the Spring of 2011 it could be nothing but The Koala. Incidents such as that have volt.

Louis CK, Lewis Black, Patton Oswalt and other popular comics thrive on jokes similar to those in The Koala. In my twelfth semester of college (yes, twelfth), I have never seen a campus so alive with passion and debate, not to mention finally a dash of the tomfoolery I expected (a la "Animal House," a film that pioneered modern rebellious comedy). But some members of the CSUSM faculty and student body feel that, as The Koala violates the school's mission, the publication should be shut down. It does not. It should not. The administration is right to cite the First Amendment and allow the distribution of The Koala on campus. Hate speech must be supported by a legitimate criminal threat to violence, and The Koala members have no more history of violent acts than the creators of South Park. While lessons in morality are honorable, students are here to earn degrees and, in turn, make more money. CSUSM's largest major, Business Administration, exists to maximize profit. The paper's content is unpolished, could be funnier and less crass, but considering what sells in the comedy world, perhaps The Koala's writers are Cougars who are actually applying themselves. �T H E K ELLOGG LIBRARY C S U S M ' S C AMPUS JEWEL M ORGAN HALL LAYOUT ASSISTANT With the Kellogg Library being five floors high and nearly 200,000 square feet, some might feel that the library is too confusing and won't take the time to explore what the Cal State San Marcos library has to offer. Students who do take the time to check it out will discover a wealth of resources and a friendly staff that is eager to help you with any questions. Construction for the Kellogg Library began in 1996 and ended in 2004. It bears the name of multi-million dollar donors Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II. Today, The Kellogg Library is home to roughly 300,000 volumes, print subscriptions, e-journal titles, computer files and e-book titles. The library's website, http:// biblio.csusm.edu/, contains research databases, an online card catalog and a live librarian chat, among other services. Only accessible by the elevator or the stairwell next to Starbucks, thefirstfloorof the library contains the Math Lab, Writing Center, and several classrooms. Most students call the first floor the "dungeon" because there are no windows and it is darker than the rest of thefloors.Because it is partially underground, cell phone service on thisfloorcan be weak. The secondfloorof the library can be most easily accessed from the outside doors next to Craven Circle. This particular floor is home to the media library, the student help desk and the open computer lab. The media library has over 10,000 pieces of "media" and can provide DVDs, CDs, VHS tapes and even film editing equipment for research or recreational use. This section of the library has several conference rooms equipped with TVs and media playing devices. Directly across from the me-* dia library is the Student Help Desk where students can rent out laptops and other media de- vices for several hours. They also have separate media rooms available on a first-come-firstserved basis to students who are not media or arts majors. The thirdfloorof the library is likely most familiar to students. This floor is the library's central "hub" where students can check out books or use the reference materials. There are seventy-eight computers that students may use for research or printing documents. Students can purchase and load print cards on the third and the second floors. The third floor lobby hosts a gallery of student art throughout the semester. The fourth and fifth floors are very similar to each other. Both floors contain most of the library's books, have multiple desks around the outer edges and contain group study rooms. It is possible to get lost easily on these twofloorsbecause there are multiple directions of books and several relaxing coves with comfy chairs throughout the floors. On the fifth floor, the Reading Room is a perfect place for relaxing, reading, and working. Lighted tables, several sofas, and a fireplace add a unique and calming ambiance to this room in the library. For those willing to look around, the Kellogg Library truly is an indispensable resource for CSUSM students. •IB Photos courtesy of Morgan Hall ASK THE COM: PATINO ANC RELATIONSHIP APVICE I've known this girl for years, and we are the best of friends.

CHIPOTLE M EXICAN G RILL AUTO PARKWAY & V ALLEY PARKWAY �HOME REMEDIES TO EASE FLU SYMPTOMS FIGHT T HE FLU NATURALLY MELANIE SLOCUM PRIDE STAFF WRITER It's flu season just in time for midterms. If you suffer from needle-phobia and avoided a flu shot this season, have no fear. There are a few home remedies that might make your illness a tad more bearable. You've probably sedh the seemingly awkward commercials for nasal irrigation devices like the Neti Pot (if you haven't, you should definitely Youtube it) where a person pours nasal saline solution from a teapot lookalike in one nostril and the liquid inexplicably flows out the other. Even though this might seem alien to you, WebMD.com reports that studies show nasal irrigation works as an "effec- tive home remedy" by relieving nasal flu symptoms and removing bacteria and virus particles. In addition to the commonly known remedies such as getting a lot of rest, slurping down chicken noodle soup and eating cough drops like they're M&Ms, Learninginfo.org suggests drinking ginger tea, eating foods with a lot of garlic and avoiding dairy products. That same website also suggests that drinking "honey mixed with a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon powder taken daily for three days will help when you have that nagging cough." This will help you sit through your classes without coughing over your professor's voice or onto your neighbor. If you're developing a Kermit the Frog voice due to clogged nasal passages, WebMD.com also suggests using a humidifier to relieve your sore throat and ease your nasal congestion. If you don't own a humidifier and already took your daily shower, boiling water over the stove and draping a towel over your head while closing your eyes and breathing deeply into your nose for 30 seconds creates the same effect. Remember, you're not a superhero. Allow others to take care of you by bringing you soup, joining you for a nice couch potato session, or tucking you into bed. If a friend or family member is willing to help you, take advantage of it and appreciate the rest you receive from their care—maybe just offer them a mask and gloves first. 1 WASH HANDS . 3.

The group, comprised of German students and professors, came together in hopes of restoring the personal freedoms that Hitler's regime smothered during World War n . Their non-violent resistance included distributing pamphlets they wrote advocating tolerance and justice. Holocaustresearchproject.org states that in 1943, the young White Rose members were swiftly tried and executed for treason under the Peoples Court in Berlin. CSUSM remembers their commitment to liberty with a White Rose memorial on the north side of the Arts building. Since it was planted in 2003, the white rosebush encourages passersby to continue the White Rose legacy of solidarity. Students may water it from the bucket located at the base of the plaque. One of the group's only surviving members, Dr. George Wittenstein, selected a quote from the German philosopher Johan Gottlieb Fitçhe for the memorial's plaque. It reads, "And you should act as though all things German depended solely upon you and upon your actions and as though the responsibility were yours and yours alone."

In the first half, the Cougars jumped out to a 1st inning lead when Derrisha Lacey crossed the plate on a double steal, and got another run in the 2nd on a double by Heavin-Lee Rodriguez. But Redlands would put up 6 runs on CSUSM ace Brenna Sandberg, while Bulldogs pitcher Kayla Uphold shut down the Cougars for the remaining innings. The second game looked to be all CSUSM going into the bottom half of the 7th, as they led 19-8. The Bulldogs gave the Cougars a scare in the inning, though, scoring 8 before Sarah Beeman tried to stretch a double into a triple and was thrown out. Rodriguez went 5-for-5 with 5 RBI in the game, while Alex Miller went 4-for-4 with 3 doubles, 4 runs and 4 RBI. HOT Tim THE PRIDE FOR Spring training a desert vacation destination MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR Be they diehard baseball fans, bandwagoners or merely fans of hot sun and a good time, gather up the friends, relatives and kids and head East to Arizona: It's time for spring training. Every year before Opening Day, Major League Baseball players pack their cleats and bats and head to one of two warm American locales to train for the real season. While traveling to Florida—where fifteen teams, such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, prepare for the year—may be unrealistic, Southern California teams play in our neighboring state. The Padres share the Peoria Sports Complex with the Seattle Mariners in Peoria, the Angels play at Diablo Stadium in Tempe, and the Dodgers go halves at Camelback Ranch in Glendale with the Chicago White Sox. Getting to Phoenix couldn't be easier: Head south from CSUSM to Interstate-8 and go East. Past Yuma, both the 85 North and 95 North will run into Interstate-10. The I-10 East runs through the center of all playing fields. The hometown Padres head into this spring training with much heavier expectations than last year. Picked by most critics to finish in last place before the season, the Friars rode their excellent pitching and wizardry on defense to finish within two games of the playoffs last year, falling on the last day to the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Several new faces will be on hand in Peoria this year. Wily veteran Orlando Hudson joins the infield, while youngsters Ja- son Bartlett and Cameron Maybin look to make their mark on the starting lineup. Old-timers Aaron Harang, Ryan Ludwick and Brad Hawpe have their sights set on returning to All-Star form. Spring training runs from the last weekend in February to end of March. Several games are played every day. Occasionally, teams divide into "split squads," with half the roster playing at home, and half the roster playing an away game against a different team.- If planned right, fans can see two games played by their favorite team and simultaneously experience different venues. Teams have historically kept ticket prices low for spring training, and while the ceiling has recently gone skyward, dirt-cheap entry can still be had. Luxury tickets at brand-new Camelback Ranch are $45 ,but most parks offer lawn seating for between $5-$ 10. Reserving room reservations in advance always keeps the price low, but lodging can always be found at a reasonable price. Road-trippers with deep pockets can take advantage of deals like the "Steal Third" deal at the plush Wigwam Resort: Reserve two nights, get one free. Of course, the first two nights run at around $250 each. Nothing during the regular season compares with spring training in terms of interactivity. Players are closer and more available for autographs, and often stop to casually converse with fans. The atmosphere relaxes, the grub satisfies and the beer flows as it rightly should. Combined with the sunshine and the crack of the bat, nothing beats spring training for Spring Break. CSUSM TRACK AND FIELD COMPETES AT NAU, AZUSA PACIFIC KYLE TREMBLEY CONTRIBUTOR Cal State San Marcos track & field traveled to Northern Arizona University on Saturday, taking part in the 2011 Lumberjack Invitational.

CSUSM improves to 7-5 on the year. Azusa drops to 6-4. The second game of Friday's scheduled double-header was rained out, but the cloudy skies did nothing to dampen the spirit of the CSUSM Cougars, who were anxious to get back in the win column after four straight losses.

However, the performance in 1996, the "Vagina monologues do not only pertain Monologues" snowballed into a global phenomenon. They started the V-Day movement, which looks to end rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery around the world. There are now more than 5,400 V-Day events in over 130 countries. The 2011 show featured a Vagina Festival, beforehand, where campus organization came together to hand out information pamphlets. The Vagina Festival also met to support the women at CSUSM and the surrounding community. The show sold out and sadly, the staff turned some eager supporters away, since there was not enough space to accommodate the patrons. "For men and women, this is one of the most powerful experiences you can have around your sexuality, in a public place," Dr. Jennifer Gunsaul- lus, a professor of Women's Studies on our campus said. All the proceeds from the Feb. 18 and 19 monologues go straight to the California State University San Marcos Women's Studies Department and the Women in Haiti charity.

Culture, history and art thrive in Balboa Park's rich educational atmosphere and now can all be enjoyed at a discounted price with Macy's museum month pass. With this pass, tickets are available at halfoff original admission prices for all participating museums in San Diego. Some of the biggest features include the San Diego Natural History Museum, Hall of Champions Sports Museum, Air and Space Museum, Museum of Man and Museum of Art. A complete list can be found at sandiegomuseumcouncil .org. Macy's department stores offers this free mu- seum month pass at its San Diego County, Temecula or Imperial Valley locations. B alboa Park is the central hub for all of San Diego's fascinating museums, most of which have suffered in the wake of the recession. This deal should especially interest younger college-age students-who may have free time to spend perusing San Diego's most famous exhibits. This is the best time of the year to visit since museums generally become more crowded during the summer. A public event like this is probably welcome, even if it does involve lowering the cost of tickets for an entire month. If anything, this event appeals to frequent museum patrons but may also appeal to Macy's department store customers as well. Macy's also plays its part to raise the museum's popularity, as it may be expected ; that customers shopping at Macy's who do not normally visit museums may become interested in attending this event. Museum month is a unique opportunity for average shoppers to help support our local museums and experience some fun spending a weekend in historic Balboa Park. The Balboa museums presented extensive amounts of exciting programs recently, most notably an appearance by famous astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, at the Air and Space Museum, which officially kicked off museum month. Aldrin's appearance presented the history and state of space exploration. In addition, Aldrin autographed copies of his books for fans.

Eric Clapton tours to promote his newest release, simply titled, "Clapton." » KINGS OF CONVENIENCE s AMY SALISBURY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Two years ago, when I came up with the title "Hits of Sunshine" for this column, I intended the "sunshine" part to indicate that the following few paragraphs are meant to bring a new light to one's growing music repertoire. Maybe the reason for my word choice stemmed from creating it during the cold, foggy days of mid-winter. Or maybe it was just because I liked the Sonic Youth song. With that said, my present feelings tend toward lengthening days and warmth. So, for whatever this batch of words turns into, take "sunshine" as a little reminder that summer is never far away, even during the coldest of February rain. Plus we're in southern California. We're spoiled. One of the easiest conduc- tors of mood is, arguably, music. It can take you to different time, different places, and different situations entirely. Some even call music their "escape." Well, I currently care to escape from the looming weather; therefore, with my above sunshine and music library, I will turn to "Gold in the Air of Summer." Erlend 0 ye and Eirik Glambek B0e are the indie-driven, folky duo known as Kings of Convenience. 0 ye and B0e started performing together with two friends at the age of 16 in their first band called Skog, Norwegian for "forest." The duo split from Skog to pursue a different musical direction, forming Kings of Convenience and signing a record deal in 1999. Ever since their first album, "Quiet is the New Loud," the band has been known for its parallels to Simon and Garfunkel, and most notably, its emotive qualities. After much critical acclaim for "Quiet is the New Loud," the band released "Riot on an Empty Street" in 2004. The album broke into the US top 50 charts, but 0 ye and B0e managed to remain below the radar. 0 ye released some solo work and started another band, The Whitest Boy Alive, while B0e focused on his personal life. "Gold in the Air of Summer," off "Riot," begins with an acoustic quietly strumming until two harmonized voices complement the chords. 0 ye and B0e speak of a spontaneous journey to a "house that used to be / the home of a friend of mine." Single piano notes form a melody in front of the guitar as a light Norwegian accent flows through the English words; without the music, the lyr- ics read like a poem. The guitar stops, leaving the voices to sing the title a capella. The music returns and progresses like a warm breeze would, coming to an almost cliffhanger of an ending. After five years of waiting, Kings of Convenience released their newest album, "Declaration of Dependence," in early October of 2010. 0 ye will appear with Whitest Boy Alive at the Coachella Music Festival in April of this year, and Kings of Convenience are currently in the process of rescheduling tour dates after B0e fell ill during an east coast show according to an unofficial announcement on the band's MySpace. �" I A K A M l I \ /t D E D c m / M m I V l I IX^ IV - X /X/l1 h r«—K /• JIT I^ I V BRINGS LAUGHS, A H ANDSOME BRITISH LAYOUT EDITOR What do you get; when you* mix a director with a penchant for actionfilms,a h andsale leading man and a populdj young female co-star withstrangely named aliens and % simplistic plot line?

Overall, "I Am Number Four" will not go down in my book as a complete disaster or a complete failure. It could have been better and it could have had a more urgent and believable scenario to push the characters along. If the plot contains aliens, thé writers still need to make the characters and their plights more relatable to a human audience, but again, it was nôt a complete disaster. The effects seemed fine—even cool at times. Overall, you will not be bored.

In previous years, ASI organized the Spring Fling dance. "Spring Fling began in the Spring of 2006. It was started to be a big spring event that would be similar to the fall's Masquerade Ball," Sara Gallegos, Director of Campus Activities and Marketing said. This year, CAB and ASI wanted to try to put on a new exciting event. "We've been talking for years about holding a concert, a large concert ... in the place of the actual Spring Fling dance. We were going to hold a concert on campus," Gallegos continued. However, somewhere along the way, planning came to a halt forcing CAB to think of another way to bring students fun activities for the semester. Students may wonder why CAB did not bring back the Spring Fling dance, but there was no possible way to organize the dance because of timing. "By the time we were informed [of the roadblocks] it was after finals week...To turn around and try to book a place ... promotion and everything... we couldn't turn around and do it," Gallegos explained. As a result, ASI and CAB decided to put the budget toward events and collaborate with other campus organizations. Essentially, students still get their money's worth with the events ASI and CAB provide to the campus. "Everything that comes into CAB and ASI... goes back to students," Gallegos finished. Therefore, students, though it is disappointing to hear of the concert cancellation, CAB is still planning a lot of fun events for us, so attend them, earn back some of the money your .tuition paid for and possibly win some free concert tickets.

MIDDLE EASTERN PROTESTS A WARENESS S PREADS ON C AMPUS P OLITICAL S CIENCE C LUB H OSTS FORUM O N M IDDLE E AST P ROTESTS MELANIE SLOCUM PRIDE STAFF W RITER On Tuesday, March 8, the Political Science Club at Cal State San Marcos hosted the event "Protests and Political Change," which featured Political Science professors Dr. Cyrus Masroori and Dr. Scott Greenwood discussing current protests in the Middle East. The event took place during U-Hour on Tuesday, and students poured in to listen to the words of expert professors. An estimate of 75 attendees crammed themselves into a University Hall classroom. Political Science Club President Brittany Varga discussed the event as having "perfect timing because so much is happening right now in the Middle East [and] it is important people understand what is going on." She continued, "not only is it important to know what's going on, but it's imperative to understand why it's happening there." Dr. Greenwood and Dr. Masroori aimed to provide such understanding with their presentations. Dr. Greenwood began the event with his presentation titled "Lessons from Tunisia, Egypt and Libya," which juxtaposed the democratic success in Tunisia and Egypt against the tragedy of events in Libya. Dr. Greenwood carefully tailored his presentation to a level that was relatable to CSUSM students by discussing the significant role played by new media such as Facebook Adviser Joan Anderson All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, respresent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University: San Marcos.

ASI raffles a pair of tickets each to events such as a Lady Gaga concert, Stagecoach and Coachella, to name a few, when students go to CAB events. "Each CAB event any student comes to can get an opportunity drawing ticket each time and put it in the event box they choose, so the more events you come to the more chances you have to win," Gallegos said. ASI reallocated its budget to "beef up" it's currently planned events. Since ASI cancelled the big budget event, the organization gained the opportunity to put more money into U-Hour and campus recreation Ä s ^ Dr. Greenwood heads the debate. // Photo courtesy of Melanie Slocum and Twitter, the globalized economy, the military and more. Dr. Greenwood's enthusiasm and empathy stemmed from his travels in these countries, which he also discussed. Greenwood often chanted "We can do this!" as a way to explain the attitudes of the demonstrators in Egypt and Libya while concurrently contrasting it to the lack of success in Libya. Following Dr. Greenwood's presentation, Dr. Masroori discussed the protests in Iran in his presentation titled "Iran, Searching for a Promise." Dr. Masroori exposed the longevity of Iran's 21-month-long protests and attributed it to three factors: the state, the opposition and the international dynamic. Masroori worked to clear Western media biases by providing a theoretical basis that aided in ex- plaining the reasoning behind and effects of the Iranian demonstrations. Whether students showed up for extra credit, free pizza or sheer interest in the subject, there is no doubt that the audience was large. Political Science Club Treasurer Gabriella Pruitt, surprised by the turnout, commented: "Although this subject is very important to me, our campus is still very lackluster in terms of student life [for a variety of reasons]. I guess we should have reserved a larger room!" Awareness gf political and humanitarian issues is proving itself especially essential these days, and as reflected by the large student turnout, the CSUSM community realizes this.

On Thursday March 17 from noon to 1 p.m. in the Career Center (Craven 1400), students who have previously been a part of this program will discuss and show videos explaining different jobs and internship opportunities through the Disney college program. The program, which celebrates its 30th year, allows students to earn college credit by working, living and taking a selection of classes at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim or at the Disneyworld Resort in Florida. Participants in the program will have the opportunity to meet people from all across the country, establish transferable skills and explore multiple opportunities at the Disney resorts. The program allows students to work and learn at the same time in a very unique setting. The program's sessions run only in fall and spring and do not offer a summer session. Because of the nature of the Disney program being very hands on, housing opportunities are available for both theme parks. Depending on which program a student may choose, it could last four to six months. There are a wide variety of jobs to choose from through the Disney College Program such as attractions, Bell Services at the theme parks hotels, hostess, character, concierge, costuming, custodial, food and beverage, hospitality, housekeeping, lifeguard and merchandise. The Disney College Program also allows students to continue their work at Disney with professional internships. More information can be found at wdwcollegeprogram.com.

When two percent of all marriages in the United States come from eHarmony alone, it may be time to face the fact that Internet dating sites have replaced bars, clubs and classrooms as the main places to meet your mate. College students are a busy group, balancing school and often a job. Online dating may be a viable option if you find yourself in need of romance. Although the same social protocols apply to fostering an online attraction, dating on the web can be tricky. Mastering non-verbal communication skills in addition to absent body language can take months. Before you spend hundreds of dollars on dead-end dates, take the time to read these tips that will help the virtual Casanova make the jump from online zero to romantic hero. 1. Joining a Site Do: Join a few different sites at first. Dating sites range from very general to niche sites that are designed for a group like single parents or Christians. Be sure to join at least one of each in order to objectively establish your comfort zone. After a little time, you will know which site(s) work best for you. Don't: Pay for a membership until you have received a decent response rate. Most sites offer a free sign-up but won't allow email or chat communication with other members until a fee is paid. You might pay for a site only to realize later that its interface is not user-friendly or that there are simply no members in your area. 2. Creating a profile Do: Post at least 150 words. Be sure to accurately explicate your personality and interests. Use humor and wit to entice a possible mate and leave out the sob story about your ex. If you like model airplanes and Foghat then find a clever way to say so. Also, post a minimum-of three pictures that illustrate your best look, your group of friends and you doing something you love (hiking, fish- Photo courtesy of informationtechnologyschoolsx)rg ing,snowboarding,etc).

Don't go to dinner or a movie, don't buy roses or coffee or anything for the other person, don't stay longer than 90 minutes, don't overcompliment and definitely don't shake hands. Shaking hands is something friends do and if you're looking to meet "friends" on the Internet, you're wasting your time. Keep in mind that your goal here is to establish attraction and set a real date. Stay fresh, stay cool and don't stay long. Remain somewhat of a mystery—you can always send an email to your mate acknowledging that you had a great time. With these tips in your online dating arsenal, you may have a better chance at finding love— snagging dates like flies in the interwebs. Happy hunting! vvu �TAKE CARE OVER THERE TRAVEL TIPS FOR SPRING BREAK SAFETY J ENNA JAUREGUI FEATURES E DITOR The sober headlines announcing the death of Austin Bice, the SDSU International Business student who was studying abroad in Spain before he went missing in February, emblazoned the reality of travel dangers in stark black and white print. As CSUSM, students will soon leave behind the stress and anxiety of midterm exams and jet away for spring break adventures. Before packing your suitcase, refresh yourself with these travel guidelines that will help ensure a safe return home. Before you pick a destination, check government travel websites to make sure there are no travel alerts or warnings for that area. Unstable government, war, terrorism, natural disasters and disease are all factors that may render a country or state unsafe for tourism. The CSUSM global educa- tion website contains links to these resources and more at csusm. e du/global/travelresources. When deciding what to bring on your trip, keep in mind that you don't want to make yourself a theft target. The website travel.safe.gov advises travelers to "carry the minimum number of valuables, and plan places to conceal them. Your passport, cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe. When you have to carry them on your person, you may wish to put them each in a different place rather than all in one wallet or pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny packs and outside pockets that are easy targets for thieves. Inside pockets and a sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest are somewhat safer. One of the safest places to carry valuables is in a pouch or money belt worn under your clothing." Additionally, students should educate themselves about the laws of the state or country before beginning a trip. According to information on studentsabroad. state.gov, "Your U.S. citizenship does not make you exempt from full ^prosecution under another country's criminal justice system, and the U.S. government cannot bail you out. Many countries impose harsh penalties for violations that would be considered minor in the United States, and unlike in the U.S., you may be considered guilty until proven innocent. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, so be informed." Also be sure to secure proper documentation and any vaccinations needed to enter the country. Once you arrive, exercise street smarts. You may be there to enjoy the nightlife, beaches and throngs of fun loving "spring breakers," but enter the scene with a level head. Studentsabroad.state.gov says to avoid underage and excessive alcohol consumption, avoid drugs and drug use, use only li- Photo courtesy of blogstatravel.com censed and regulated transportation, avoid carrying weapons, and be conscientious. Take precautions—don't gamble with your safety. Make sure that you don't go off alone and that someone you trust always knows were you are. Doing so may save your life. These guidelines may help students to make wise choices and have fun while traveling, but their execution depends on you. Educate, control, and enjoy yourself this spring break—globetrotting can lead to amazing experiences if done the right way. A S K THÉ C O W : PATINA AN?

From suffrage and birth control to political offices and space shuttle missions, the 20th century saw a surge of change as women broke free from oppression and challenged tradition, leading generations into a fight for gender equality. The United States recognizes March as Women's History Month, honoring the diversity and achievements of the many daughters, sisters, and mothers who have left their marks on the global timeline. Tuesday, March 8 was the centennial celebration of International Women's Day, a day to reflect on the struggles and victories of remarkable women throughout history. In many countries, International Women's Day (IWD) is a national holiday.

Playing their first games on day two of the tournament, the Cougars shut out Emerson College 17-0 and the University of British Columbia 9-0. On Saturday, CSUSM again victimized Emerson College 8-0 and followed that with an identical 8-0 final against Hope International. On Sunday, the Cougars slipped by UBC 2-1 and swept the tournament with a 4-0 victory over #13 Dickenson State. To go with the aggregate 48-1 score, the Cougars also received a perfect game and a no-hitter from Brenna Sandberg on Friday, and a two-hitter by Brittany Boone followed by a 13-strikeout performance from Sandberg on day two, and a 17-strikeout performance by Sandberg on Sunday against Dickenson. Sandberg moves to 21-4 on the year. Forty years ago, athletic programs at CSUSM might have consisted of 15 men's teams and no women's teams. In 1972, a federal law changed that possible ratio, creating new opportunities for women in sports. Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs in institutions that receive federal funds. That includes all grade levels through college and all programs including sports. Concerns regarding fairness and the resulting legal challenges created additional components to the original law. Jennifer Milo, Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Women's Administrator at CSUSM, said Tide IX "has boosted the opportunities for girls and women in sports tremendously." Milo stated there are currently over 300,000 women playing intercollegiate sports nationwide. The purpose of Title IX is to provide equal opportunity in educational institutions. A common presumption is that in order to have equality between the sexes, there should be an even 50/50 split. However, at many colleges, women outnumber men. According to Milo, CSUSM's student population consists of 60 percent women and 40 percent men. Compliance with Title IX requirements for equal opportunity must be "proportional," Milo said, by considering campus population and other demographic factors. Valerie McMurtrie Bonnette explains Title IX clearly in her comprehensive manual, Title IX and Intercollegiate Athletics: How It All Works - In Plain English. Bonnette previously worked for The Office for MEN'S LACROSSE TO HOST FIRST GAME CSUSM's newest club team, men's lacrosse, will host its first home game Saturday March 19 at 2 p.m. While the club has already played several games,5 fans have three chances to see the team play on campus. After this week's match against Occidental College, fans can watch games against CSU Long Beach on April 9 at 3 p.m. and versus Concordia University on April 27 at 6 p.m. CSUSM lost their last game in a nail-biter at CSU Channel Islands, 14-13. . CSUSM 6, La Sierra 1 Omahen: 9 strikeouts. explained that if there are 300 athletes, 60 percent must be women and 40 percent must be men in order to comply with Title IX. Similarly, CSUSM must provide an equal opportunity when disbursing athletic scholarships, reflecting the female/male ratio proportionally, and the same is true for providing benefits and opportunities. Title IX does not require institutions to offer athletics programs , nor does it require offering a specific number of teams. It also does not require the same number of teams for men and women. "For men or women, what sports [can] do as far as teaching life lessons is important," Milo said, adding that providing equal access to sports is just "the right thing to do." ft La Costa 7670B CaminoReal 760-943-8182 San Marcos Broken I V olk e, 101S.

Two important additions to Title IX are the 1979 Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Interpretation and the 1996 "Three-Part Test," which according to Bonnette's manual are the major sources used for specific requirements for athletics programs and interpretation of Title IX regulations. Her manual also describes the 1979 policy as consisting of 13 components separated into three categories of compliance requirements, or the "Three-Part Test." The three parts are accommodation of interests and abilities,financialassistance, and benefits and opportunities. Milo emphasized that for each of the three parts, proportionality is key, because Title IX requires that institutions provide equal treatment of participants in overall women's and overall men's programs.

I like the pressure." Campfield really likes the cama- raderie and I-have-your-back attitude that comes from practicing with the team. "It's easy to let yourself down, but it's hard to let your team down," he said, when asked about the team aspect. Campfield tends to feed off the pressure that he places upon himself. This last week at Nationals, he placed an impressive second in the mile and third in the half mile. In the last 200 meters of the mile race, Campfield propelled himself from 9th to 2nd. "That's my favorite part of the race, the finish. It's what I run the whole race for," he said. Now that Nationals has ended the indoor track season, he looks forward to the outdoor season because more of his teammates compete. . His goals for this outdoor season are to break four minutes in the mile and figure out a way to beat his nemesis, Silas Kisorio of Oklahoma Christian, who has beaten Campfield twice by less than a second. He plans to prepare for the outdoor season by putting in lots of miles and doing intensive interval workouts that really push his limits. Mentally he likes to relax and not concentrate too much on the races. He notices now after getting back into running how much it contributes to other aspects of his life. He feels that running keeps him more motivated, lively and focused. He is even considering continuing to run after college. He plans to compete with professionals at the USA Nationals and has the goal of possibly doing the Olympic trials next year. Campfield also hopes to remain active in running and other sports in the future as well as acquire a job in either professional sports or college athletics. TOURNAMENT TIME IN TOWN THE BEST P UCES TO WATCH MARCH MAOHESS M ICHAEL R AWSON SPORTS E DITOR There are those who believe the end of March deserves to be a national holiday, while others just enjoy the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Then there are the ones who are in it for the food. March Madness—otherwise known as the college basketball's championship tournament—provides sports fans with everything they could possibly dream of. The first two days of the tournament, March 17-18, games are played four at a time from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. This year, San Diego State received a #2 seed, their best ever, and look for their first ever tournament win on Thursday. While some friends may be hosting parties in their homes, how many people do you know with four televisions in one room? The Pride comes through with the places you need to be this time around. As ja first bet, Oggi's Pizza and Brewing Company used to be North County's finest. Saturated with flat screen televisions and serving up delicious pizza and salads, Oggi's wasn't to be topped. Since moving out of their location in the Westfield North County Fair in Escondido, however, Oggi's now offers only their Encinitas and Del Mar restau- rants to North County viewers. Still, seven scattered locations remain in San Diego County. Meanwhile, back at Westfield's off of Via Rancho Pkwy, Oggi's former location has been replaced by something even better. Bringing friends who can't even spell basketball? Stop by North County Tavern and Bowl, where finding something for everybody to do couldn't be easier. The four-sided bar allows even patrons passingby to stop for a beer and a game without ever entering the tavern. The Westfield parking lot remains a Mecca for suds and sports, too. Stop by BJ's (one of five in San Diego County) for their giant screen that automatically rotates between 1-4 games at any time. Pubs and bars can offer fine viewing options as well. Churchill's English Pub on San Marcos Blvd. features the county's best beer selection and fine pub grub. The Stadium in Encinitas gets pricey, but it might be worth making reservations during March Madness to sit at one of their booths equipped with its own flat-screen. For the downtown-bound, keep pubs like Hooley's (see Happy Hour of the Week) and bars like the Tilted Kilt (by Petco Park) in mind for a more city-minded experience. �S AN D IEGO CELEBRATES T HE GREENEST DAY OF T HE Y EAR: ST. PATRICK'S D AY LEXI POLLARD P RIDE STAFF W RITER St. Patrick's Day, the green holiday that falls on March 17, did not originate in Ireland. According to history.com, the United States of America held the first St. Patrick's Day Parade in 1762 when Irish soldiers serving in the English army displayed pride in Irish roots with traditional music and marching. Historically celebrated in the U.S., Canada and Australia, recent celebrations have undergone a transformation in Ireland. The traditional use of St. Patrick's Day as a religious occasion now exists as a parade in Dublin that attracts millions of viewers. While Ireland, New York City and Boston host St. Patrick's Day parade celebrations and citizens of Chicago dye the Chicago River green, San Diego offers a multitude of diverse events. St. Patrick's Day in the Gaslamp Quarter consists of the Miller Light ShamROCK, an event filled with the sounds of Irish rock, beverages and Astro Turf replacing the traditional glamorous red carpet with a "green" carpet. The eccentrically green celebration, dubbed the "biggest St. Patrick's Day block party west of the Mississippi" by SignOnSanDiego.com, attracts up to 20,000 people per year. Located at Sixth Avenue and Market Street, this event caters to and only allows guests 21 and up. The age restriction will ensure an abundance of green beer throughout the night. If ShamROCK does not appeal to celebratory taste, Hooley's Irish Pub and Grill in La Mesa hosts Hooleyfest on St. Patrick's Day. Hooleyfest lasts from 4 p.m. - midnight, and those who celebrate with full festive force have the option of free saferideshome night, but if one desires a calmer within a 5-mile radius.

The venue encourages tainment and dancing into the reservations and green attire. Although St. Patrick's Day did not expectedly originate in Ireland and society commercialized traditions, residents of San Diego can experience the lighthearted fun this holiday encourages. Most local and public events permit only those of legal drinking age, but those excluded always have the option of spending St. Patrick's Day pinching those who forgot to wear green to commemorate the holiday.

The allwood décor really helps create the Irish ambiance. And it isn't just the decoration that helps you feel like you are in Ireland. Hooley's offers a plethora of traditional Irish dishes on their menu like corned beef and cabbage and boxtys (a stuffed potato pancake topped with cheese), but what really makes this place special is their Guinness-infused meals: Guinness onion soup, Guinness BBQ beef, even Guin- ness ice cream, not to mention pints upon pints of the delicious beer itself. They also have a wide range of beer on tap, from the Irish red Smithwicks, the unfiltered Blue Moon and the ailAmerican Coors Light. Feeling especially festive? Try a Black and Tan (a pint layered with Bass then Guinness) or a Snake Bite (half Guinness and half cider). Beer not your thing? The bar pours over a dozen different types of whisky. Hooley's offers something for everyone to help them get into the party mood. On Mondays, Hooley's runs an all-day happy hour, as well as a nightly late night happy hour with $1 off draught beers, wine and spirits, $2 off appetizers and $3 off all bottles of wine. But the deals don't end there - stop in for $2 taco Tuesday, $10 Boxtys Wednesdays and all you can eat fish ' n chips on Sundays. So there is no bad day to stop in for a pint. Hooley's seems to cover all its bases in satisfying different types of personalities and taste buds. They also show all major sports events, including soccer, and they offer live music even a free ride home on nights with big gigs (within a five mile radius, of course - they have to draw the line somewhere). This St. Patrick's Day, throw on your greenest of garb or most Irish of outfits and saunter down to one of Hooley's two locations, Rancho San Diego (2955 Jamacha Rd.) and La Mesa (5500 Grossmont Center Dr.). -WARNER H OME VIDEO (PG-13) 'Also released today is "Hereafter" B « the latest film from director Clint Eastwood.

Pence also published an essay regarding his involvement with the controversial issue writing that allegations of apparent "fraud and abuse" by the abortion provider disqualifies the organization for federal funding.

SEE, PARENTHOOD, P. 2 < Â0 �EDITORIAL STAFF Editors-in-Chief Amy Salisbury Sandra Chalmers csusmpride@ gmail .com News Editor Philip Mykel Flores newseditor.pride@gmail.com FROM, PARENTHOOD, P.l Opponents disagree, and according to www.theblaze.com, the bill's supporters are ultimately trying to deny women the reproductive health services they need. In a statement to NPR, Sarah Stoesz of Planned Parenthood Minnesota informed listeners that the majority of the company's services are for reproductive health, family planning and cancer screening. She added, "We're here to support women, to offer the health services and information that they need, and then to allow them to make the best choice for them." The Blaze article quoted Planned Parenthood president, Cecile Richards responding to the bill. "We've been here for the past 95 years, and we'll be here for the next 95." The article went on the add that the bill would make it harder for private sexual health organizations, like the one across "Not only are we compliant with all state and federal laws, but we are also in compliance with [state and federal health laws] as well." She went on to say that "students can feel confident that everything is kept confidential," adding, "We provide the same services as Planned Parenthood." from Cal State San Marcos, to provide sexual health services. In an interview with The Pride, Cathy Nguyen, a health educator at Student Health and Counseling Services, said that CSUSM student's fees and funding from the state of California would enable the organization to assist students in reproductive health should Planned Parenthood not be able. She added that students could feel comfortable that SHCS operates legally.

Secone in four Americans will end ond, drivers should move along up paying $5 or more per gallon smooth and easy, with no quick accelerations or stops. The DMV stated that "the faster you accelerate, the more gas you gorge." A driver should pay close attention to the flow of traffic and anticipate how much to accelerate. Although it maybe getting hotter outside, drivers should think twice before turning on the AC, because when in use, it increases gas consumption by 10 percent. Also, looking to roll down the windows to deal with the heat can actually be even worse than using the AC. According to the DMV, once a vehicle is going over 55 mph, the wind drag decreases fuel efficiency more than the AC. The vehicle's maintenance greatly affects fuel efficiency. A certified mechanic stated that cor-. rect tire pressure is essential for fuel efficiency, because the loss of 10 pounds of pressure equals a three to four percent drop in efficiency, Neglecting regular factory maintenance, such as oil and fuel filter changes, can also decrease efficiency up to 20 percent. How, when and where drivers gas up can greatly affect their ability to get the best usage and price for gas. Surprisingly, the early morning or nighttime hours are better times tofillthe tank because in cooler temperatures, gas is denser. This allows drivers to get more "bang for their buck" since gas stations measure by volume. The driver can also get the most out of their gas money by scouting out the cheapest gas prices. AAA's free iPhone application and the Gas Buddy website both allow drivers to find the closest, cheapest gas stations in their area. trip to Rarotonga and really cherish the restful time I had there. Luckily, San Diego's beaches are not far from San Marcos, though none can compare to Rarotonga's picturesque coastline. With a newly acquired taste for fresh coconut milk, and the dis- covery of enjoyment in relaxing in town barefoot, Rarotonga inspired me. Delving into the culture and being a part of a royal wedding made me realize how truly fortunate I have been to see such interesting and beautiful sights. Photo courtesy of greenweetz £om R E L A X IN R A R O T O N G A Enjoy bare feet, exotic waters LEXI POLLARD PRIDE STAFF W RITER Never in my wildest traveling dreams did I imagine a weeklong trip to an island with a circumference of only 20 miles. This island, Rarotonga, captured my interest with not only its unique name but with its intriguing culture and landscape. Located in the Central-Southern Pacific Ocean, Rarotonga is an archipelago in the Cook Islands. My family and I happened to be on this remote island through an invitation to a special event: a wedding between my second cousin and the princess of Rarotonga. In November of 2002, my pre-teen American self met the laid-back nature of Rarotonga. Upon landing on the island, I thought the landscape to be similar to New Zealand with tropical trees and views of a crystal clear ocean. However, a tour in a Ze- bra-striped painted van proved me wrong. Green, luscious plantations covered the island, and I couldn't help but notice the locals walking along the side of the road. Every casually dressed Rarotongan lacked the same article of clothing: shoes. Later, I realized the barefoot trend revealed the island's relaxed atmosphere. Servers at the restaurant at our hotel were barefoot'as well, and what did I do? I indulged in this cultural phenomenon and walked around town barefoot, too. The most vivid image I carry is the pool at our hotel. I remember spending hours in the pool one day, which looked out over the vast ocean. The outskirts of the hotel were dotted with chickens and wild birds that begged for scraps of food. One of the most interesting sights was an abandoned hotel, with windows shattered and crumbling architecture. Its unkempt appearance stood testament to the island's gleefully disheveled personality. During one of the last days of my Rarotongan experience, my family and I attended the wedding of my second cousin and the princess of the island. The wedding, held on a scorching hot day on the white sands of a gorgeous beach, exemplified the culture's relaxed nature. The bride wore delicate sandals, and a flowing gown and presented herself with poise and grace. At the reception, the coconut trees intrigued my cousin and me. The groom helped us retrieve a single tropical seed from the tops of one of the towering trees. Although I attended a wedding on one of the most exotic places on Earth and found adventure on every corner of the island, I most enjoyed the time I spent relaxing. My cousin and I received pedicures at a local spa, lounged by the pool and casually walked around markets.

CAMP offers students from migrant laborer and farm worker backgrounds the opportunity to succeed in college. According to csusm.edu/camp, the national program has helped thousands of students accomplish their educational goals in a span of over thirty years. Ever since CSUSM was awarded the CAMP grant in 2002, the program has "offered students pre-college transition and first-year support services to help develop the skills needed to stay in school and successfully graduate from college." Many students have gone through CAMP and succeeded in obtaining a college degree. The spirit of Chavez's motto, "si se puede," rings true for these students as well as a ir CSUSM students who overcome challenges to improve their futures.

The highlight of my week, aside from avoiding any moving injuries, was the interesting afternoon I spent riding the Sprinter train. By midweek, I had settled in to my new place in Vista, leaving behind thefirsthalf of the semester and the long commute from Fallbrook to campus. Now I am less than a mile from the Vista Transit Center and about nine miles from campus. My main motivation for the move from Fallbrook to Vista was to save time commuting, gas, money, and^to avoid the stresses of driving in heavy traffic. What used to take a tank of gas per week will now take about one third of that. My new place is very convenient to everything I need. I can walk a half block to the nearest bus stop, less than a mile to the Sprinter, a light rail train running a span of 22 miles between Escondido and Oceanside, and back again, seven days a week with newly extended weekend hours. A single ride, one-way trip, costs $2 or $1 for seniors and disabled persons. A regional day pass is $5, entitling passengers the use of Sprinter, Breeze, Trolley and MTS regular buses all day long. CSUSM students can purchase a monthly pass for $29, valid on Sprinter and Breeze. Other discounts are also available. See the complete schedule of station locations, departure/arrival times, and ticket prices at www.GoNCTD.com. Most CSUSM students use the Sprinter to travel to and from campus, but I decided to explore my new surroundings by taking in all the stops and sights along the Sprinter rails. My excursion began with my parents at the Vista Transit Center at Santa Fe and East Vista Way, just off the 78 freeway, where we found plenty of parking and easily located the user-friendly Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). Free parking and TVMs are available at most Sprinter stations. We had no problems inserting our $15 cash for three tickets, but the machines do accept major credit cards and most debit cards. Passengers can also purchase a Compass Card: a refillable account card. Since the Vista station is about halfway down the line, we decided to head east to the end of the track in Escondido then turn around and ride the entire length of the track to Oceanside for lunch. The eastbound Sprinter departed on time at 10:56 a.m. I found the online schedule very comprehensive since the trains run about every half hour in both directions. It took 20 minutes to get to the CSUSM station, five stops away from Vista, which is exactly how long it takes me to drive it in good traffic. The walk from the Sprinter station to campus is about the same as walking from the X parking lot. Going East past CSUSM, there is only one stop before arriving at the Escondido Transit Center. Once we arrived in Escondido, the Sprinter switched over to the westbound track and we headed back toward Oceanside. The interior of the Sprinter was clean, and there was plenty of room for bikes, strollers, and luggage. The seats were comfortable with lots of legroom, and the windows provided a nice panoramic view of the springtime scenery. Passengers consisted of all age groups. Even the ticket taker was friendly. The stations were well maintained and seemed secure. We just sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed the 53-minute ride from Escondido to Oceanside with 15 stops along the way. The ride was so quiet we thought the Sprinter's power source must be electrical, especially given the name "light rail." It surprised me to find that a clean burning diesel engine powers the train. The Oceanside Transit Center is a major hub with connections to the Breeze, Coaster, AmTrak, Metrolink, and Greyhound. Passengers can travel on to popular destinations in San Diego County such as Balboa Park, PETCO Park, the zoo, Old Town, the airport or the far-reaching transit lines of AmTrak and Greyhound. There are also plenty of sights right in Oceanside including museums and restaurants within walking distance of the station, not to mention the Oceanside pier only four-blocks away. Since the weather was on the chilly side, we chose the closest place we could find: a little burger place near the Transit Store. The next time you need to be somewhere, whether commuting to campus, work, sightseeing, or spending a day at the beach, bring along your bike, your buddies, and enjoy the ride. You never know what can happen on a train!

GOLF TEAMS SETTLE FOR 7TH CSUSM men's golf has furiously outpaced expectations this year, racing to a #23 ranking behind captain and star Adam Loran. When they needed it most at the CBU Spring Break Intercollegiate, Loran came through once more—only this time his teammates kept pace. The loaded tournament's third and last round proved invaluable for the Cougars, who collectively shot 7 over par on the day, a fantastic result. Led by Loran's 71 (-1) and Robert Nicanor's 72 (E), the Cougars placed 7th in the field of 16, eight of whom were also ranked in the top 25. The women's team faced an even tougher challenge last week, traveling to San Luis Obispo to take part in the Lamkin Grip/Cal Poly Challenge. Coming off the high of winning their home tournament, the Lady CÖügar Invitational, and finishing 8th at the women's CBU Spring Break Intercollegiate, the LG/CPC allowed CSUSM to face off against NCAA-level golfers. The Lady Cougars could only muster a two-day score of 678, good for 7th out of nine. Lisa Copeland led the way with a second-day 79 to place 21st.

RODGERS SHINES AT SURF CHAMPIONSHIP ASHLEY DAY A&JE E DITOR Saturday, March 12 and Sunday, March 13, CSUSM's surf team traveled to Huntington Beach and competed in the National Scholastic' Surfing Association's (NSSA) Interscholastic State Championships. The A team came in 6th of 16, while the B team finished 13th, their best ranking of the season. The competition held a number of categories including, college men's, college women'^ and college longboard. A team longboarder and surf team treasurer, Mick Rodgers, excelled in the competition. He finished as the Runner-Up State Champion to SDSU's Jon Hoover. "[Rodgers] has been a contributor in many ways since day one of his involvement," Dr. Amber Puha, professor in the department of mathematics and surf team faculty advisor said. Rodgers, a senior, is finishing hisreignonCSUSM'steamstrong. He has been a member of the surf team since his freshman year. ' The A team shortboard women, Kaitlin Maguii^and Annie Howe, also had excépfipnal performances," Dr. Puha said. Maguire and Howe finished fourth and fifth , in the college womens round. CSUSM's surf team .started in January 2002. In 2009, our team won thè National Championship. Since its inception, the CSUSM surf team benefited from a steady flow of strong longboard competitors. Past surfers Dystin Franks, Chris Smith and Christian Clark contributed to putting CSUSM's surf team on, the map. Franks competed on the very first team and scored at least one State Championship. Smith earned the 2007 State Champion and Runner-Up National Champion and Clark seized the 2008 National Championship. "It's a really interesting phenomenon that's happened since the inception of the team. The longboarders really contribute a lot to the team points " Dr. Puha said. The surf team competes in three competitions in the fall and one in early January. To get involved with the surf team, you may tryout in early fall, approximately three weeks into the semester. There's a chance to make it onto either the A team, composed of the strongest surfers or the B team, consisting of surfers at all levels. Participating on the surf team is an excellent way to contribute to CSUSM and live up to the rich beach life San Diego offers. In addition, the surf team helps build bonds with other students. 'These students bond on the beach, and they create what seems to be lasting friendships that will go beyond their years at CSUSM," Dr. Puha said. Next season, MiraCosta College transfer student Ashley Aronson will be the next surf team captain. He will bring his surfing skills to CSUSM and hopefully can lead the surf team to another National Championship. Dr. Puha is excited to see what next season brings. CSUSM will send the A team to the National Championships in June. The NSSA National College Surfing Championships air on CBS Saturday, June 25 at 2 p.m. eastern time. Watch to see a representation of the CSUSM team fight for victory.

If anything, the experience of playing these games changes as one grows older, from that of imaginative fun to careful planning and strategy building.

The wide distribution of merchandise, especially video games, opens the doors for connections amongst friends, fans and players from all over the world. The range of elements the games cater to, like tactics and strategy skills, meshes in an environment mixed with fun and social connectivity. These features make the Pokémon games worthwhile entertainment for kids and college students alike. "All in all, Pokémon has been something dear to everyone's hearts," Renteria continued. "Whether you play competitively or just for the fun of it, it's nice to see the inner-geek in everyone." 3 8 2 1 4 9 98 1 15 6 86 5 2 43 8 2 5 4 6 4 7 SEE ANSWERS ONLINE AT CSUSMPRIDE.COM Photo courtesy of buffcorp jcom U NIVERSITY OF S T .

ERIC O RDER U SED F J§ MANNEQUIN SICKEST KIDS Photo courtesy offlickr.com RADIOHEAD AMY SALISBURY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF I've had a very long, happy relationship with Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Phil Selway. And my boyfriend is usually okay with it. Years and years of faithfulness fueled my love for everything those aforementioned men of Radiohead created, but I don't know how I feel right now. People change. So do bands. In fact, a few years ago, Radiohead broke from their record label and announced they would pursue self-released work. They maintain that their work is entirely selfproduced as well, although the American record label TBD will soon be the parent who released two Radiohead albums stateside: "In Rainbows" in 2007 and "The King of Limbs" May 9, 2011. "The King of Limbs" is already out there, though. More thafi a month ago, "Limbs" songs started appearing all over the Internet as Radiohead made the album available for download on their merch website, radiohead.com/deadairspace, and kingoflimbs.com. After learning that I could listen to this album at my leisure, I sort of chose not to. The gossip surrounding this "different" incarnation of Radiohead and its reception was disheartening to say the least. I imagined "The King of Limbs" was a modern incarnation of when Bob Dylan went electric; some people loved it, and some people hated it. I also imaged that "The King of Limbs" wouldn't be as impressive as "Kid A" or "Hail to the Thief," but I can't pin down what made me think that. Perhaps that thought had something to do with the Radiohead heresy floating around the minds of (current and And guess what: I dug it. I can't former) band devotees.

The owners named El Dorado for the enchanted and mythical "Lost City of Gold" and this bar plays a similar role in San Diego as it's a little hard to find, but once you do, it's like striking gold in the rush of downtown. El Dorado hosts an array of live musical performances, ranging from bluegrass to electro, and has a dance floor packed with goofy and groovy 20-somethings who seem to care more about having a good time and less about getting in your pants. The crowd seems like an Urban Outfitters catalogue came to life, threw a dance party and everybody's invited. This Thursday, March 31 the bar hosts a "Mustache Party" featuring live bands, and Friday, April 1 is '90s night. The bar offers Happy Hour specials (including $5 cocktails and discounted draft beers) every night until 9 p.m. El Dorado serves its cus- tomers a selection o f^^^geasonal cockdrinks, |>eer on tap in the ottle nd -x* LOUNGE clubs.

University officials have recognized the need to restructure the current composition of colleges to help meet the need for growth and development in the university's future. Currently the College of Arts and Sciences (CoAS) fosters more than 50 percent of the degree programs available on campus, including 25 Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs and 32 minors. The new split would divide science and math disciplines into the new College of Science and Mathematics and further divide the other CoAS departments into College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Further advancements include the new addition of College of Education, Health and Human Services that will house Education, Nursing, Kinesiology and Human Development. The College of Business Administration will not be affected by any of the new changes. "The restructuring is rearranging departments and schools and colleges, in the case of Nursing and Education, in a way that best positions the university for moving forward," said David Barsky, Associate Vice President of Academic Programs. "I am confident that this will position us well to leverage our strengths and create a stronger impact with our programs.

On the one hand, who doesn't want to get away from the rigors of school and go and enjoy vacation time in a beautiful and relaxing location f ar from home? On the other hand, who wants to fork out the time, energy and money needed to make a trip like that possible? With gas prices looming at about $4 a gallon and tuition skyrocketing along with them, chances are, Spring Break with no extra costs sounds nice and much more manageable. However, vacation doesn't need to break the bank or complicate your free time. This semester, a handful of students took their one week of freedom into their own hands and took off on an adventure that any outdoor-lover would envy: an outdoor excursion trip to Utah. Sponsored by ASI, CSUSM's Alternative Spring Break program allows students on a budget to have fun and get out with some friends without the stress of high costs and major planning. One of this semester's Spring Break programs, a Utah excursion, found around 14 CSUSM students hiking and biking their way along scenic canyons and breathtaking desert terrain for seven days and six nights. The students, along with Brian Daw- son from the University Village Apartments (UVA) and Hugo Lecomte from Campus Recreation as their guides, journeyed to the famous Utah hotspots Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Arches as well as participated in a mountain bike ride in Moab. For those of you who haven't heard of these recreational areas, Bryce and Zion Canyons are two national parks located in southern Utah while Arches National Park is located in eastern Utah. Bryce and Zion Canyons, while certainly not as big or as amazingly vast as their often compared-to counterpart the Grand Canyon, offer nature lovers awe inspiring vistas of jutting rock formations and sweeping cliffs, all set against the majestic back- drop of the Utah desert. Arches National Park, in comparison, offers exactly what its name implies, a look at some of the most unique and brilliant rock arch formations in the world. Altogether, these three parks are some of the most beautiful and naturally thrilling locations in the southwestern United States. A trip to the canyons of Utah is unforgettable, and for this particular trip, everything, including accommodations (and for those of you who prefer not to sleep on the ground, all accommodations were indoors), only cost each student who participated $200. In the words of one of the campers, Whitney Brown, a senior majoring in Kinesiology, the trip was an "absolute steal and totally worth it." Brown also commented that "it was %ne of the most memorable trips [she l as] been on. It w^s a Iife\changing experience and absolutely unforgettable." For those already settled into the final few months of this semester, keep in mind that this time, next year, you could be returning refreshed and renewed from an alternative Spring Break sponsored by ASI. Hopefully now you know that it won't leave you broke, will give you a chance to spend time with some friends, and will leave you refreshed and renewed before returning back to the grind.

It is a known fact that most of the country's students have regarded Spring Break as an eagerly anticipated opportunity for surfing, sports and general relaxation. It is a week during which students can engage in far more activities than are usually available during winter and can enjoy a taste of what is yet to come over summer break, albeit at a more manageable temperature. However, at CSUSM's own Univesity Village Apartments (UVA), not everyone went home for the break; as part of an alternative Spring Break program, a large group of students from the dorms volunteered to work with Habitat for Humanity, building homes in Miami, Florida. These select few students worked long, hard hours, building houses for low-income families in the Miami area. According to Marcos Villanueva, one of the students who participated in the trip, "we'd wake up at 6 [a.m.], work from 7:30 [ ajn.] to around 3:30 [p.m.]." The group worked on a different portion of the house each day. '"Some- times we did dry wall, we did insulation, floor boards, a lot of different stuff," James Sanchez, another student, said. "We didn't finish any houses, but we prepared it [s/c] for the blitz days," Villanueva elaborated, "basically, we built the foundation, which took about four days, and Habitat [for Humanity] is going to swiftly finish the houses over the course of 10 days." Overall, the group played a crucial part in helping Habitat for Humanity, creating houses for those who desperately need them. "It's lifechanging," Sanchez said, "because it opens your eyes to new experiences and other problems that are going on this country." The experience, however, was not all work. "We went sightseeing, we went to alligator swamps, and we went fanboating," Sanchez said. Villanueva added, "Although we had to work a lot we needed some free time. We saw famous sites like "Miami Ink." One of the nights they had a party for the workers, just to say thanks." In addition to giving back to the community, the group managed to have fun in Miami, making the experience that much more rewarding. Overall, the group worked hard, but the payoff was great. They not only gave back to the community; they had a lot of fun in the process. Above and below: Photos courtesy ofUVÄ. SPRING FLOWERS COLOR APRIL HILLSIDES CARLSBAD FLOWER FIELDS IN BLOOM M ORGAN HALL LAYOUT A SSISTANT Photos courtesy ofMorgan Hall Interested in seeing spring's early beauty? Why not enjoy a few hours at the Carlsbad Flower Fields—50 acres of brightly blooming flowers. The fields, which overlook the Pacific Ocean, are filled with colorful Ranunculus blooms. Rows of these flowers carpet the rolling hillside, creating a feast for the eye and camera lens. Located in the heart of Carlsbad, the Flower Fields are open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and are open to the public until May 8. Prices for the Flower Fields are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors age 60, and above, $5 for children ages three to 10 and children younger than two are free. The Carlsbad Flower Fields offer a variety of activities for families, couples, and individuals. The strategically planted American Flag of Flowers, which sits in a 300 by 170 foot plot, contains flowers that were planted to resemble an American flag. The fields also annually set up a unique sweet pea maze in which visitors can navigate through a fragrant and colorful maze of "old fashioned" sweet pea blossoms. If you are interested in celebrat- ing Christmas during spring, the Carlsbad Flower Fields also hosts a 1,500 square foot poinsettia greenhouse to display over 20 unusual and rare varieties of poinsettias. Visitors can also learn the history of the amazing holiday plant. The fields also offer a few nonflower related activities including the Carlsbad Mining Company, where visitors can find and polish gem stones using an actual miner's method. Santa's Playground, which was once part of the Lake Arrowhead theme park "Santa's Village," now has a new home on the Flower Fields and allows the public to enjoy historic whimsical play houses and giant colorful mushrooms. According to their website, theflowerfields.com, the Carlsbad Flower Fields' peak blooming period lasts from March through May. Don't miss the opportunity to capture the beautiful blossoms with a Canon photography workshop on April 17. The Flower Fields also hosts music festivals and craft fairs; check out the "Special Events" page of the website for more information. �C S U S M ' S W R I T I N G C E N T E R F IXES W O R D W O R R I E S S T U D E N T S HELP S T U D E N T S W RITE R IGHT J ENNA J AUREGUI FEATURES E DITOR With finals, term papers and other writing woes lurking in the remaining weeks of school, students may find they need help putting pen to paper. The" CSUSM Writing Center is the perfect resource for students who need help editing, revising or brainstorming ideas. Located on the bottom floor of the Kellogg Library in room 1103, the Writing Center offers free tutoring help from certified consultants, many of which are advanced Literature and Writing students at CSUSM.

Consultants help students work on their pieces—whether it is a short essay or Master's thesis—by "reviewing the prompt, asking guiding questions, and providing non-judgmental feedback." By working one-on-one or in a small group, students can gain control of their written words and succeed in their classes. As the semester accelerates into its final weeks, the Writing Center'invites students to attend workshops that will help ease writing anxieties. These U-hour workshops take place in the Writing Center from noon - 1p.m. on Tuesdays. Today's workshop will focus on "How to Write for Specific Audiences."

Anthony Harbor wouldn't have any of that. After all, he intended to impress fellow athletes from his alma mater, too. Clay, the reigning Olympic gold medalist in the Decathlon, and a graduate of Azusa Pacific University, arrived with athletes from the school on Saturday, saying he "just needed to get a meet in." Clay competed in the discus throw, an event he holds the decathlon record in, as well as the 110-meter hurdles alongside- Anthony Harbor. Harbor, who graduated from CSUSM last year, ran stride for stride with Clay, hurdling over the obstacles in unison—but just far enough Cal State San Marcos men'I golf jumped up 6 spots in this week's NAIA National Rankings, settling in at #17 after debuting last week at #23 j Coach Greg Hutton's Cougars, who were unranked in the preseason, capped off a very strong regular season with a 7th place finish out of 16 teams at the Cal Baptist Spring Break Intercollegiate in Primm, NV on March 21-22. At that event, CSUSM finished right in the middle of a field loaded with ranked teams, placing ahead of numerous teams including Holy Names University (#13) and the University of Victoria (#21). The Cougars* are preparing to compete at the A .II. Conference Championships in Victoria, Texas starting Apr. 25. behind to see Clay finish ahead of him at 14.10 to his 14.24. "It was the first three hurdles," Harbor said. "He was way 'more explosive than I was. He had a better center of gravity. He's a great athlete." London awaits Clay in 2012, and with the summer games in sight, the two-time medalist (he won the silver in 2004) has been training rigorously to regain his fitness after a devastating hamstring injury ended his World Championship bid in 2009. "[The 110-meter race] was sloppy, but it's thefirstrace, so you don't expect much more than that. You can't expect too much. You've just got to get your feet wet." When sloppy running equals first place at a competitive college track meet, another Olympic gold medal seems reasonable. Clay didn't even win the discus throw, which might be his best event, placing second behind Azusa Pa- cificfreshmanBeckwith Brad. But Clay wasn't there to win, anyway. "Hearing the gun for the first time, getting in the [discus throwing] ring and not having a foul for the first time...that kind of stuff can kind of play with you a little bit, so you just want to get in there and deal with it mentally and emotionally," he said. For those who were there to win, there were plenty of opportunities. CSUSM sophomore Krystle Osby flew past the field to win the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.23, with sophomore teammate Aimee Rassavong finishing third. The Cougar women dominated the pole vault, with Calah Ayer, the winner with a 3.19 meter jump, followed by teammates Kelsey Monticalvo, Meghan Freund and Natalie Eisenberg gathering a clean sweep of the 1-4 spots. The one-mile invitational run polished off the evening and contained a field of only five runners hand-picked for a close race. CSUSM's Brett Campfield went toe-to-toe with BSK Running Club's David Edwards before finishing less than a second behind, with the crowd cheering wildly behind the athletes. The day belonged to Clay, though. Everyone on the premises knew it, and had they not known he was there when they arrived, they were soon informed of his presence over the loudspeakers in the announcer's emphatic voice. Clay brought a small crowd to the discus throw, a sight usually unseen at college Track & Field meets. When the champion took his mark on the hurdles track, the crowd buzzed and flashbulbs exploded. For Harbor, it meant an opportunity to represent for the home crowd. "This is my school," Harbor said, a gleam in his eye. "You have to make it look easy, even though it's not." WOMEN'S GOLF SHINES AT CSUMB Playing their final "regular season" round of the spring, Coach Cindy Naval's CSUSM women's golf squad went out on a high note, shooting an outstanding 317 to finish 11th place at the Lady Otter Invitational. Hosted by CSU Monterey Bay at Black Horse GC in Seaside, CA, the tournament featured a 22-team field loaded with NCAA Division I and II schools. CSUSM was just one of three NAIA teams compet-= ing, but shot rounds of 325 and 317 for a total of 642 to place ahead of 11 NCAA teams. Nova Southeastern won the event with a team total of 597, with the host school placing second at 614. Linnel DeVilla continued what has been a great spring for her with an excellent round of even par 73 on Tuesday. Combined with Monday's 79, DeVilla shot a 152 at the tournament, tying her for 11th place.

Shortstop, Shanti Poston, made the first official big play of the game by tagging the Columbia runner and closing out the top of the 1st inning. At the top of the 2nd, Columbia scored 3rd consecutive runs on one hit due to a few small errors and a wild throw to the catcher, placing the San Marcos Cougars down by three early in the game, By the beginning of the 3rd, San Marcos began to find their groove defensively by only allowing one hit for the remainder of the game. Midway through the 3rd, pitcher Brenna Sandberg began, as head coach Dave Williams said, "to shake the rust off" after nearly 12 days without playing a single game. Sandberg ended the first game by striking out 9 Columbia College batters. As the remaining innings began to pass by, the fans, players, and even coaches feared a loss, At the bottom of the 7th and final inning, the CSUSM softball team knew here would be its last chance to shake things up and get 3 runs to tie or 4 runs to win. Derrisha Lacey stepped up to the plate, hit the ball just out of the reach of the third baseman, and cutting the lead to 3-1. With the winning run on base, Poston smacked the ball to center earning a base hit. Due to Poston's hit, the centerfielder dropped the ball and allowed pinch runner Brittney Guy to beat the throw and allow CSUSM to come away players, coaches and fans fuming at the umpires over several missed calls.

The 3DS features 3D without the need for any special glasses, as well as a number of upgrades to the system. A new slider pad allows you to control characters with an analog stick much like you would on a home console. The system also features a new built-in motion sensor and gyroscope, giving gamers the ability to manipulate the game through tilting and shaking the 3DS. The system has two screens, much like its predecessor, the DS. However, the top screen is an adjustable 3D screen and the bottom is a touch screen. The 3D slider to the right of the top screen allows users to change the depth of the 3D. The 3DS. comes packed with 11 applications. The camera app takes 3D pictures with the system's dual cameras mounted on the back of the device. The "Face Raiders" app uses photos of people you've taken and places their faces on in-game enemies. The 3DS also features a "Mii Maker" app, so users can create avatars, or "Miis," usable in games such as "PilotWings Resort." Gamers may also place the Miis in the "StreetPass Mii Plaza," which exchanges Mii data with other 3DS systems in the area. The Nintendo eShop also returns, in a future update, to allow gamers to purchase classic Nintendo titles. Currently, the 3DS has 16 games available for purchase including "Super Street Fighter IV," "Madden NFL 11," "PilotWings Resort," "The Sims 3" and "Lego Star Wars ID: The Clone Wars." Nostalgic gamers can also expect the release of updated older games over the next few months such as "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," "Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater" and "Star Fox 64." The Nintendo 3DS system currently costs $249.99, with games priced at $39.99 at most electronics retailers. Photo courtesy of wikimedia jorg C ACROSS CROSSWORD U G A R A baby bird (think chickens).

With the term equity now defined, previous knowledge about social justice and equity issues help to educate one before attending the symposium. At the event, keynote speaker Ashley Walker, former Executive Director of the San Diego Human Relations Commission, plans to share a lecture about working together to promote social justice in communities.

CSUSM rally participants will gather at noon in Cesar Chavez Plaza, then walk to the Rotunda in Craven Hall for refreshments, live jazz and speakers from 12:15 - 1:30 p.m. An open mic session will follow from 1:30 - 2 p.m., giving students, staff and faculty opportunities to voice their concerns about major changes to higher education, both nationally and locally. "Without clear, vocal and very public statements against the changes that are being proposed and/or have already been enacted, higher education as we currently know it will be seriously damaged," CFA Chapter President and CSUSM Sociology professor Donald Barrett said. Concerns regarding funding and the rights of employees and students are key issues surrounding the event. These concerns include budget cuts and resulting tuition increases adversely affecting affordable higher education, threats to faculty decision-making power regarding class content, size and delivery, elimination of major courses, majors and minors and the idea of students being viewed in terms of cost/benefit ratios.

The dramatic negotiation process concerned many citizens who feared total government shutdown as funding would have stopped at midnight last Friday if lawmakers failed to reach an agreement. After meeting into late hours Friday night, lawmakers and White House negotiators agreed on an arrangement to fund government operations until the end of September while still trimming billions from its previous budget. President Obama, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boehner negotiated the agreement. As first reported by the Associated Press, President Obama signed the measure Saturday, April 9, but it still requires Congressional approval, which is set to happen during this week. According to the Associated Press, initially, "the administration was poised to shutter federal services, from national parks to tax-season help centers and to send furlough notices to hundreds of thousands of federal workers," which aids to explain the long negotiations that lasted to the last hours of the deadline. The agreement tested the strength of America's divided government as Republicans and Democrats searched for common ground under a time constraint. As first reported by the New York Times, Boehner described the negotiation process as "a lot of discussion and a long fight." In SEE, BUDGET, P.2 �FROM, BUDGET, P.l EDITORIAL STAFF his address to the nation, President Obama remarked that the deal is "a budget that invests in our future while making the largest annual spending cut in our history." He continued to emphasize the importance of Americans "living within [their] means" as an investment in future job markets. Republican initiatives to reduce funding to Planned Parenthood and ease environmental regulations caused much of the censure in negotiating. While these initiatives proved unsuccessful in the negotiation, many citizens were concerned for the fate of these federal programs. One in five women have made a visit to Planned Parenthood.

The stormy winter brought more than 60 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with more snow expected to fall at the end of this month. State officials report that the snowpack found in the mountains is at 165 percent of normal for this time of year. When the snow melts, it should supply farmers and residents all across California with water during the summer in local lakes and reservoirs. Governor Brown's announcement repeals former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2008 Declaration of a State of Emergency because of three years of extremely low water levels. Schwarzenegger advocated conservation until water levels rise and some cities imposed conservation measures on its citizens. In 2009, the San Diego region including here in San Marcos, deemed to be at a "level one" drought emergency, which called for all citizens to voluntarily conserve and reduce water by 10 percent. Conservation measures set in place included, but were not limited to, washing down paved surfaces, repairing any inefficient landscape irrigation that leaks, wash- ing vehicles with a bucket of water and only watering residential and commercial landscapes before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. Cal State San Marcos did its part in water conservation by planting drought resistant plants around campus that require less water. The news of the drought being over left some residents relived since they can now water their lawns as much as they like, wash their cars everyday and even enjoy a glass of water without feeling guilty. Governor Brown still asks the California public to continue to conserve water. "While this season's storms have lifted us out of the drought, it's critical that Californians continue to watch their water use," said Brown in his drought announcement. Although Brown feels that the drought is over for now, farmers and water officials worry about the future weather conditions. Water agency officials suggest that "The dry summer weather could bring a return to drought conditions." The high amounts of snow and rain have left the California reservoirs at extremely high levels, but many water districts are having a hard time storing the surplus of water. Most of the older reservoirs in California, including the ones that facilitate water to San Diego, are not Temperance Flat Dam, which do not have the ability to store water.

CSUSM CELEBRATES FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP, CREATIVE A CTIVITIES JENNA JAUREGUI FEATURES E D I T O R They lecture you on psychology theories. They test your knowledge of differential equations. They show you how to analyze poetry. They assign you pages of reading assignments. They make you write lengthy papers. Your professors are the captains of their college classrooms, yet how many students truly know their professors beyond the credential abbreviations that accompany their names? You may see them throughout the week, but few students take the time to discuss anything besides class material with their professors. If asked to list a few of their professor's professional accomplishments, many students will offer a blank stare. Most are unaware that published works by their very own professors line the shelves in Kellogg Library. Before and during their car- ers as college employees, many CSUSM professors proved their scholarship in the professional or creative world. Scholafly articles, research studies, scientific experiments, and entire books are the "feathers in their caps," bolstering their resumes and qualifying them to educate future scholars in their chosen fields. Gerardo Gonzalez, Ph.D, saw the gap between faculty accomplishments and student awareness of these merits. As the Dean of Graduate Studies and the Associate Vice President for Research at CSUSM, he spearheaded the Celebration of Faculty Scholarship and Creative Activities, an annual event that allows students, faculty, and the community to share in CSUSM faculty research, writing, and other achievements. Professors have the opportunity to present their projects in an informal group setting—each faculty member sets up a display and discusses their work with interested passersby. On April 1, the second annual celebration event took place in the Clarke Field House Sulpizio Family Grand Salon from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Over 30 faculty members shared their accomplishments. Given the chance to chat about subjects they are passionate about, the familiar professors beamed with fresh energy. They eagerly conversed with the students and other community members who visited the event, sharing their professional expertise with interested attendees. Dr. Natalie Wilson, who teaches in the Literature and Writing and Women's Studies departments at CSUSM, recently published a book titled "Seduced by Twilight: The Allure and Contradictory Messages of the Popular Saga." She presented this book during the event, and offered some comments regarding her experience: Were people interested in your presentation of "Seduced by Twilight?" "Yes, many people expressed genuine interest. At 'Twilight' fan events interest is understandable, but at an academic research event such as this, I was happy to talk to people from all across campus and the community - Deans, faculty, students, and community members - about how the saga reveals a great deal about the contemporary cultural moment." What was your favorite thing about sharing your work with staff and students? "I particularly enjoy speaking to people outside the 'target fan base' regarding what they make of the phenomenal success of 'Twilight.' One man compared it to Beatlemania, and a fellow professor lamented that Bella Swan is nothing like her favorite female heroine, Nancy Drew. I also enjoy getting those who feel the series is 'just entertainment' to take a deeper look and consider what messages this undeniable cultural Zeitgeist is sending us about love, romance, gender, and sexuality as well as about two areas people rarely consider race (via the representation of Native Americans as werewolves) and religion (the author is Mormon)." The event was a unique chance to see CSUSM professors "in their element," discussing topics they enjoy and sharing their knowledge with others. Wilson declared the celebration a success, saying the room was "buzzing with conversation." Organizers expect a third annual event next year, hoping to expand to a larger location and schedule it on a day when more students can attend. If you missed this f un opportunity, try talking to your professors about their work during their office hours. Many would love to share their interests with eager students, and you may learn something more than the lessons they teach in class.

Boots, raincoats and hats have resurfaced before they had a chance to dry out from the last rains of winter. A chilly start to spring means some are still stuffing tissues in their pockets. College students are feeling the stress of the postmidterms crunch, leaving many with weakened immune systems thai are susceptible to any nearby sneeze. If the common cold is what ails you, here are a few remedies most everyone has at home to help combat the sniffles and leave you ready to take on the semester's remaining weeks. /iff CVAin Have some OJ with your breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice not is one of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence. According to biologist Thomas Peel, vitamin C is not only effective in fighting colds, 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 April 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, so start making up for that lost sunlight ASAP. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin D is great for the body and mind. Soup for the soul. 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 chicken 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, SEVEN COLD REMEDIES FOR SPRING SNIFFLES 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 the U.S. Food and Drug Ad- ministration (FDA), chamomile causes allergic reactions in some individuals, so test the solution on the inside of your wrist first. Take a dip in the spa. Ashish Kalekar of inhouseremedy. com said, "Nothing chases away a bad case of congestion better than some good ol' steam treatment." If you are lucky enough to have access to a hot tub, this is when to take advantage of it. If not, take a bath or shower and breathe deep. Modify this suggestion if you have fever with steam concentrated on just your face instead of your whole body. Sleep it o f f . After a relaxing bit of heat, change into some comfy clothes and pass out. Psychology Today explained that sleep is one of the most important mechanisms your body employs for healing. offc05Aeviantart.net & 1 .bp.blogspot.

On Thursday, April 14, the CSUSM Women's Center will hold its fifth annual Take Back the Night event—an energized occasion with a mission to "break the silence that surrounds the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault, and to demand an end to gender violence," ac- which is incredibly empowering." "Four women die in the U.S. each day from domestic violence—brutally murdered by the men who claim to love them," Heidi Breuer, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, said. This alarming statistic means domestic violence takes the lives about 1,460 women each year. Statistics on sexual assault against women also show taught from a very young age to ing dance and spoken word. They be fearful of the night. We are told are a powerful and inspirational to stay inside and to be afraid of group of youth living in the lowincome neighborhood of City Heights in San Diego who are finding empowerment and educating others through dance." Their performance is only the beginning. "We will also have an interactive educational walking outside at night. Even piece presented by the Center though most violence against for Community Solutions, to women happens at the hands of get students activity involved in have the chance to share their stories in a safe, affirming environment. "This is probably the most powerful, healing aspect of the whole event," Burgess-Carland said. "Speaking out about your experience of abuse is truly transformative. I have talked to women at CSUSM who told me that Take Back the Night was the first time they ever talked about what happened to them. To me, this is the whole reason we have the event. When people speak out they can begin to heal, and start moving from victim to survivor." cording to Women's Center Director Lea Burgess-Carland. The event, which will begin at 5 p.m. in the Library Plaza, is a place where people of all ages and genders can gather to find support and raise awareness. Specific information about Take Back the Night is available at csusm.edu/wc/events. Our campus is not the first to host this event. Take Back the Night is an international event that has been around for 35 years in hopes of bringing an end to sexual assault and abuse. Burgess-Carland stated, " Often, victims of these crimes remain silent out of fear, shame or feelings of guilt. Fewer than five percent of sexual assaults are reported to the police, and many survivors will never speak out about the abuse they have suffered. This can lead to feelings of isolation and powerlessness. Take. Back the Night provides an opportunity for people to speak out and demand an end to these crimes, a significant amount of problems women face in their daily lives. "Events like Take Back the Night are necessary because, while 54 percent of women say they have been sexually assaulted, only 25 percent of men say they have engaged in sexual aggression or forced sex," Prof. Breuer continued. Burgess-Carland revealed, "Women aged 1 6 - 2 4 experience the highest rates of sexual assault and intimate partner abuse. 1 in 5 women will be a sexually assaulted while she is in college!...] these ^ people in your classes, people you work with and people in your student organizations. It is a reality at CSUSM, and we must demand an end." Take Back the Night events hope to reclaim safety and peace of mind. "As women, we are someone we know, the threat of the 'stranger jumping out at u s' at night is enough to keep us Take Back The Night will conclude with a march down Twin Oaks Valley Road with hundreds of participants making a physical statement that they will no longer tolerate sexual abuse and violence towards women. "Take Back the Night is an event for the entire community, not just for women," BurgessCarland stated. "Although of course we want to encourage all women to attend, we hope that men will come to support as well. Men need to get involved in ending violence against women. Without men working by our side, it will never end. We also acknowledge that many men have also been victims of sexual assault or domestic violence. They are welcome and encouraged to come and speak out in the circle and get help and resources as well. The Women's Center, and Take Back the Night, is here for all CSUSM students."

With that event in the book, Coach Steve Scott's athletes have four more chances to punch their ticket to the NAIA National Championships by meeting the qualifying marks. The Cougars had plenty of highlights on Saturday, as well as plenty of close calls. Suzanne Cornwell met the "B" qualifying standard in the 1,500-meter run with her time of 4:41.63, good for 11th place at the event. Michelle Cruz finished 10th in the 800-meter run at 2:17.15, just about a second off the "B" standard. On the men's side, Daniel Lyon easily met the "A" standard in the 5,000-meter run, and, while doing so, recorded the team's best finish of the day. Lyon ran 14:36.95, over eight seconds ahead of the " A" standard, to place second. Four-time Ail-American Brett Campfield posted another impressive finish, taking third in the 1 ^00-meter dash. His time of 3:51.97 is well ahead of the event's "A" standard. Coach Scott's track & field team will next compete at the Mt. Sac Invitational, starting this Thursday.

The #4-ranked Cougars improved to 33-6 on the season? Biola dropped to 23-19. Pitcher B rennatj Sandberg was lights-out in both games, throwing all 13 innings on the day and holding Biotk scoreless. The wins improve Sand- berg's NAIA-best record to 295. She allowed just three hits ml both games, striking out nine in the first and six in the second. Sandberg had plenty of support, both at the plate and in the field. Biola's best scoring chance in game one came in the third inning, as the Eagi$s moved two runners j nto scoring position with one out. But a mediuin-shallow i ly ball was caught by left fielder Alicia Ingram, and she gunned out the runner at home with a perfect throw to keep the shutout intact. At the plate in game one, CSUSM jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first and never looked back. Derrisha Lacey led off by driving a triple to the left-centerfieldgap, and after Alicia Ingram walked and stole second, Alex Miller drew a walk to load the bases. Shanti Poston plated Lacey with a sac fly, and Ingram would come home to score on a wild pitch. With the score 3-0 in the fifth, the Cougars would put it otit of reach,i C urtesy of an RBI single f romfKimi Villalpando and a fielder's choice by Theresa Houle where pinch runner Brittney Guy beat the throw home on a ground ball. Game two Would stay scoreless for a couple innings, but the Cougar offense strung a few crooked numbers together in the middle innings to end it after six. First baseman Alyssa Dronenburg got things goiftg in the third, just crushing a no-dteifctabout-it two-run home run over the fence in left. CSUSM would plate two the following frame as well, with Heavin-Lee Rodriguez driving in a ifun with a base hit and scoring on a Lacey single. The Cougars came close to ending it in the fifth, scoring three times to make it 7-0. Theresa Houle drilled her second double of the day, plating Miller and Dronenburg, and Jalisa Mc-| CaJfel would add a deep sacrifice fly later in the inning, CSUSM wasted little time closing things out in the Seventh. Kaitlin McGinley led off by beating out an infield single, stealing second and coming home on a Miller triple to right.

Chapman did the bulk of its damage in the third inning, where with two outs second baseman Tyler Hadzinsky knocked a bases-clearing three-run double off Cougar starter Adam Bileckyj, who otherwise was very solid. Bileckyj uncharacteristically walked four batters, but struck out four as well and allowed just four hits in his six innings of work. The Cougar offense broke through in the fifth, with Victor Serna and Kyle Secciani drawing walks, Johnny Omahen sacrificing them over, and Serna scoring on a passed ball to cut it to 3-1. Chapman would pick up what turned out to be a crucial insurance run in the bottom of the frame, as CSUSM continued to chip away at the lead. A Mike Mecucci sac fly cut it to 4-2 in the sixth, and Trent Jemmett's RBI single made it 4-3 in the seventh, but with the bases loaded and one out the Cougars would fail to plate any more runs. With reliever Kyle Smart working two perfect innings on the mound, CSUSM had its chance to complete the comeback, loading the bases again in the ninth. But Chapman reliever Kyle Tachibana induced a fly-out to strand the tying run at third, sending the Cougars home disappointed.

April 21 - 27, the Art Association at CSUSM is holding an art auction to benefit relief efforts in Japan. All of the proceeds go towards the victims affected by the earthquakes and tsunami floods that devastated the country on March 11. Strong aftershocks from the initial earthquake continue to shake Japan, reaching up to magnitude 7.1 and causing more deaths and destruction. The horrific images and heart-breaking stories plastered in newspapers across America have many people wondering what they can do to help. One way that CSUSM students can contribute to the relief effort is to donate art and attend the art auction. Students can drop off their art submissions on April 18, 19 and 20 during U-hour in Arts 111. All mediums are accepted. Email your name, title of your art piece and medium to Morgan Hefley at hefle003@cougars.csusm.edu. Bidding begins April 21 and ends on the 27. Hefley was able to answer some questions regarding the art auction; additional information is available at csusm.edu/ n ews/articles/ArtsAuction. The Pride: What inspired this idea? How did the idea of a benefit art auction come to be? Morgan Hefley: The benefit art auction idea started with the willingness of Arts Association, artists last spring, when we all decided to do a similar event, The Hope for Haiti Art Auction, to help aid Haiti. The auction was s uccessful and w -e be best directed towards aiding Japan. T P: were a ble to send over $200 via the Red Cross to Haiti in their time of need. At the beginning of this semester we decided to do a second philanthropy gallery and began looking for a cause to which we could donate. We started working towards one particular cause, but the dual natural disaster in Japan essentially fell into our laps. No one had any idea that this would occur, and it seemed that our event would does the hope to raise? MH: We would like raise as much money as possible. If I might make so bold as to throw a number out, I would love to see us raise at least $400 dollars. But it largely depends on the nymber of art submissions in the gallery, how much the artist will place for the opening bid and of course, those bidding on the art. The last Art Auction resulted in just over $200; I would love for that to be essentially doubled. TP: Do art submissions for the auction need to be of a particular skill level? MH: The Art Association accepts and encourages all CSUSM students, whether members of Arts Association or not, to exhibit their work in the galleries. All of our exhibits are the result of the hard work, ingenuity and creativity of CSUSM students. In any of our galleries, not just the benefit auction, we only ask that students take pride in their work and others work by submitting their best. T P: Where will the money go? In what form will it be donated? MH: All of the proceeds, like the last Art Auction, will be donated to Japan through the Red Cross. I do want to be specific that all the proceeds will be going to Japan, not a percentage. TP: If this event is a success, will there be other possible auctions for different charities? MH: I think it is safe to say that if these benefit art auctions continue to be a success, that the students of CSUSM will see more of this caliber of events. However, it depends largely on the members of the Art Association as well as the executive officers, who decide whether they want to pursue these events or not. Several of us are graduating, and new executive members will be taking the helm next semester. We hope to hold elections by the end of this semester, and any CSUSM students who wish to become an integral part of this awesome art community and help plan such events as the Art Auction for Japan are welcome to run. TP: Do you have any words of encouragement for artistic students who may be hesitant to submit their work? MH: Again, I would like emphasize that the Art Association welcomes and encourages all CSUSM students, whether members of the Art Association or not, to submit their work,. This is the students' Art Association. It belongs to all of us, and we want to see your projects and magnum opuses receive all the attention they deserve. We provide the opportunity for the entire CSUSM student body, as well as faculty and visiting community to view it. So far, for this Art Auction, we have a tentative schedule of submissions of photography, paintings and jewelry design. We hope to see more as we get closer to the exhibit installation, which is on April 18, 19 and 20 from noon - 1 p.m. in the Arts lobby outside of Arts 111.

Participating artists represented many musical genres including rap, screamo and a little plain rock. The bands were judged by a pre-selected panel that looked at categories like crowd response, stage presence and overall likability and appeal. While most of the bands seemed to simply be participating in order to help their fellow students out, the main prize for the winning band was a chance to perform during Welcome Week on campus: a paid gig. Needless to say, all the bands brought their A game, and there was no lack of energy or enthusiasm the entire night. It's refreshing to know that, despite everything that is going on in our busy lives as students, some of us still take the time to help out our fellow classmates. Carrie Kresser, a senior majoring in Kinesiology, summed the event up nicely: "It's just worth UP ¿JTTvJ PROJECT it'to come out and support something that means a great deal to someone else. Sometimes you'll participate in fundraisers, and you have no idea where the money goes. For this event you knew exactly where your admission [price] was going and who it was going to." Truly, this event was altruism at its finest—a sincere effort by students to help support their classmates in a big way.

Accomplished painter Maureen Drdak intends to answer the question with her lecture on twenty-first century global art. At 7 p.m. tonight, CSUSM's Arts & Lectures series premieres the "Insanity, Creativity, and Communication: the Digital Deluge and its Challenges for the 21st Century Global Artist," for f ree, in Clark 113. The event is a great opportunity for aspiring painters and art enthusiasts to learn more about the nature of contemplative art and its lacking presence in modern society. Most importantly though, guests will learn cases of how the creative processes and relevance of the modern artist may be threatened by the overwhelming affect of digital imagery. Drdak plans to showcase her many works and explain the significance of historical contemplative practices and their relevance to the modern artist. Her works, like most traditional paintings, require meditation in order for a viewer to enjoy and are a stark contrast to the digital imagery that seems to constantly overwhelm modern senses. "She's looking at historic practices, contemplative practice, which involves [sic] creating artwork with a very deep focus that leads to a greater understanding of the work," said Professor Tony Allard, who proposed the lecture after meeting Drdak in Reno. "What Maureen [Drdak] is emphasizing," Prof. Allard continued, "is the contemplative practice of paintings in which you experience the work on a much more fundamental level, and you experience the content of that work in a more comprehensive way." Drdak emphasizes the necessity for contemplation in art, stressing the point of what the purpose of art is. She does not only present a pretty image to look at, but she uses imagery to convey an emotion, even when the typical American is not always interested in deep contemplative thought. Through understanding meditative paintings, the viewer in turn comes to a deeper understanding of a greater work of art: global human culture. Drdak plans to speak about the necessity of archetypes in art and their relevance to global cultures, which, until recently in human history, would have never mingled, yet all share similar attitudes and stories spoken through their art. Through the study of all the aforementioned archetypes, we can achieve a better understanding of the similarities we all share. To better understand art, is to better understand what it means to be human. .com WEEK NEWEST LEXI POLLARD PRIDE STAFF W R I T E R Photos courtesy ofDroid-Ufe.com What if two common parts of a college student's life, studying and cell phone use, were combined? The Study Droid application indeed combined the two, compatible for popular Android smart phones. The Study Droid app enables users to create note cards or flashcards for any topic imaginable. Users may edit virtual cards, and pictures from your phone can also be placed on the cards. You create each note card individually, with both the back and front available for text and pictures. Consumers download this application for free at either www.studydroid.com or directly from the market on the phone itself. The website offers tutorials and explanations on how to create the note cards and allows downloads and syncing of note cards from the site. The app allows fellow Android owners to share flashcards by giving out the name or URL of the flashcard pack. There is also the option to download, or "clone," and personally edit previously created packs. Although app purchasers can share and clone flashcard packs, some users use security settings so they may only view and edit their own packs. When studying for midterms, finals or quizzes, this application is useful for the busy college student on the go. A quick and easy download and creation of the note cards resolves the problems of illegible handwriting, a messy stack of cards and the purchasing of physical, paper note cards. The old school way of studying flashcards may still appeal to some students, but the Study Droid correlates with the convenience of technology. �Brandon Flowers with Nervous Wreckords When: Thursday, April 14 Where: House of Blues Time: 8 p.m. Doors: 7 p.m. Etc: Go to hob.com for ticket prices and info.

OF INTO LET A ND W ORLD JHE^PUPBEAT GEI A M Y SALISBURY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF The world is much different than it was just 30 years ago. Technology makes communication possible when there's literally a planet between two people. It's true, though, that the notion of texting a best friend or loved one is much less romanticized than a kindly crafted letter sent through snail mail. Phone calls, while becoming increasingly less-expensive methods of cross-country communication, still lack that truly personal feeling. Skype is too dependent on the strength of one's Internet connectivity to contend with the aforementioned methods, so we won't bother with that for now. It seems (to me, anyway), that the best form to communicate with someone you're missing is to find him or her in your daily life. And that is exactly what Irish songstress Lisa Hannigan accomplishes in the most poetic way possible. Irish native Lisa Hannigan was born in 1981 in County Meath. She began performing professionally with fellow Irish musician Damien Rice in 2001, mostly singing with him on recordings and occasionally contributing guitar or bass in live performances. Hannigan also appears on recordings with The Frames, Snow Patrol lead singer Gary Lightbody and the late Mic Christopher. Hannigan focused the majority of her career on backup singing for Rice. In 2007, Hannigan and Rice had a "falling out" of sorts, and she immediately left his tour to begin solo work. In early 2009, "Sea Sew," her debut album, was released in the States. Hannigan's quietly powerful, breathy vocals combine with ethereal poetic styling to produce tracks with as much soul as they have substance. "Sea Sew" contains songs that seem to address an unnamed love interest (or a few of them) Hannigan calls "gentle spoken friendfs]" or "my love." E NN Phot^^îne^^^^w^^^e^pic^re^^^^photo^et "An Ocean and a Rock," the first track off "Sea Sew," portrays Hannigan as someone going about her day with someone so strongly in her mind that he or she is in her overcoat, her coffee, and clearly, her mind. "I spoon you into my coffee cup / I spin you through a delicate wash / I wear you all day," Hannigan hums. She finds this person in everything she touches, proclaiming that the distance that "an ocean and a rock" creates means nothing to her. Cheerful strings, jazzy drums and a tender guitar complete the hopeful song's orchestration. Perhaps Hannigan was on tour when she wrote this song, halflamenting of the space between a dear friend and her. People's lives take different roads more frequently than some might prefer, but coping with the distance is as easy as using your day to remember what (and who) you love. Hannigan is currently on tour throughout Ireland. Ha.com, htbackdrops.com F OR STREETS BEFORE JAZZ LURED OF SOUL- MEXODIES TAFFILA.

Bully's is an enjoyable place to gather up the group and treat each other to a night of succulent STUDENT food and refreshing drinks. Bully's is by no means a large bar, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in substance. Since the bar is just a short drive from the Del Mar racetrack, it features a number of interesting racehorse memorabilia. Bully's perfectly melds old school hardwood bars with a racehorse theme. Happy hour at Bully's begins at 3 p.m. on Mondays - Fridays and ends at 7 p.m. On Sunday - Thurs- day, a different happy hour occurs from 10 p.m. - closing.

Why are we flinging ourselves into lava pits? Well, it's not a leap; it's a fall down a tunnel. What other options do we have as we exit high school? We are conditioned from our youth to believe in the importance of going to college. But, now that I'm weeks from graduation, I have but one question: Now what? In his 2011 State oLthe Union Address, President Obama remarked that nearly half of the new jobs in the next 10 years will require a college degree (Whitehouse.gov). And we've all been told before that the best thing to do in an economic recession is to attend school so that when the economy "bounces back" we'll get some magical high- Photo courtesy of Melanie Slocum ¿ ( e J J o s i J (ejzAn£jct ¿/i C o l l i A e FAREWELL ADVICE FROM THE EDITOR-IN-rfllEF S A N D R A C HALMERS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF As I take my last walks up and down the cliffs of stairs that compose most of this campus, I think back 'on all the things that as a freshman I wish I knew and the most important lessons that my education has armed me with. So to benefit the student population I will be leaving behind as I graduate this May, I offer some honest truths about college life. Professors want to hear more than your stomach growling in class: Professors want students to ask questions in class, I learned in my Communication 200 course, debate and persuasion , the essential step in thinking critically is to ask questions, and if there are no questions being asked in class then critical thinking could quite possibly be absent. Professors aim to fuel your understanding, your thought process on the material and if the content is too difficult to follow, tuning out and thinking about a Mr. Taco breakfast burrito will not help you engage in the material, I know, its hard, but reading the material prior to class helps reinforce your true understanding. Getting questions answered as the class progresses keeps you from getting stuck at midterm, review with 25 topics you can't find on Wikipedia. If you're going to buy the text. book, make sure to read it: We all know the familiar heart- break of paying $136 for a textbook that was never opened and then got denied buy back. That slap in the face happens all to often, so invest ig your investments, make your textbooks your best friends, after all we know they have the right answers in them to guarantee you a perfect grade. n ^ ¿ ï T o r ' What's even worse is that nobody cares; at least, not enough do. Why aren't more students angered by this? The economy is something we have little control over, but our voices are something we do. While there have been significant efforts to raise awareness and protest tuition increases on this campus, the amount of student turnout at these events is negligible, and embarrassing. This issue affects all of us students, yet nobody can seem to envision anything beyond final exams. Wake up CSUSM. As I leave this university, I've been slapped in the face with a bleak reality beyond the Utopia of undergraduate education. Know that doom's day is coming, and know that as students, you can change this, and should. Of all environments to speak your mind in, college is probably the most accommodating you will experience. Speak up for your education, speak up for yourself. Take advantage of your own voice, stop expecting others to do it for you, and know that if you don't, your investment into a lie will s a & v ) e j i " Time w ell s p e n t " i s a r elative t erm 1 I j 1 I I | 1 Cell phone in class, means l sing your ringtone in class: I will never forget the time I sang the chorus for the song "Tipsy" by J-Kwon in front of my sociology class after my phone rang. The rules of the land were, "phone rings, then you must sing." My unfortunate taste in ringtone denied me the chance slip by humming a simple tune, but my impromptu performance branded me to never allow phone interruptions during any class again, or you may never know what embarrassing consequences there maybe. If you're on time, you're already late: My favorite class, at the early hour of 10 a.m, became a phenomenon for my time keeping abilities. Arriving right at 10 a.m meant a lengthy search for a chair or possibly sitting at the uneven desk in the corner that squawked with every movement of a pencil . My professor seemed to understand this phenomenon and would stop at mid sentence to cheerfully invite me to class with a "Oh hi there, great that you made it." Her genuine invitation felt like daggers to my embarrassment, a perfect cure to understanding that being on time is already too late. paying job. But what about us in-betweeners? What are we supposed to do for the next 9 years? I 'd like to enjoy my 20s, not eat ramen noodles until I'm over 30. Not only do more than 11 percent of college students graduate unemployed, but they do so with excessive debt. Our parents and teachers indoctrinated us to believe that getting a Bachelor's degree is an investment in our future, so 53 percent of full-time students take out loans (National Center for Education Statistics). But what happens when that future holds no promise? We have invested into a lie. Not only do unemployed-tobe students already graduate with massive debt, but state governments are making it increasingly more difficult for students to afford a public education. In 2011 alone, the cost of tuition for a CSU undergraduate rose an additional 10 percent (calstate. edu), making the amount of debt students graduate with even higher, while creating an inverse relationship with the success in finding a job after we graduate. forget what I should care more about.

With summer coming up, I am going to want to see them since we are all go. ing back home. I feel like my boyfriend and I have all these plans for summer— we hope to enjoy time together without the stress of school. I don't know how to tell him that I want to make sure I have time for my friends. Help? Friends are an extremely important factor in any romantic relationship. Aside from sharing a friendship between the two of you, you both need to maintain relationships with your mutual and separate friends. These friendship ties can he difficult to keep while attending separate colleges during the school year; summer is a perfect opportunity to reconnect with the people who have known you for years. If you are worried that your boyfriend's plans will encroach on your time with your friends, all you can do is talk to him about this matter. Let him know that you want to enjoy time with him, but you also need time for your friends. Friends are the support you can cling to when your love life is rocky; don't abandon them! A couple should not monopolize one another—if he has trouble understanding this concept, maybe he is not worth your time. I am studying abroad this summer. How can I make friends with and/or date foreign students? Studying in a different country is a great educational opportunity—new cultures, landscapes, languages, and people can greatly enhance your overall life experience. If you are looking to connect with others while studying abroad, be cautious. Use street smarts and be wary of those who could potentially take advantage of your money, your information, or your heart. I would advise keeping relationships on the lighter side—falling headover-heels for someone while studying in a foreign country can have a heavy effect on your educational plans as well as your emotions. If you are looking for romance, look for it in the history and art of the culture. Chances are, you will discover likeminded people who you can connect with as you explore the country. Use email or social networking to stay in touch upon return—you individual experience will determine to what extent you continue any friendships or relationships. Be smart, be yourself, and enjoy your time abroad.

Broadcasting live from campus, CSUSM College Radio is gaining a reputation as one of the leading media and entertainment sources for CSUSM students. The organization was recently recognized as the Best New Student Org for 2011 at the Tukwut Leadership awards night. CSUSM College Radio began in Spring 2010 as a student project in Dr. Youwen Ouyang's software engineering class. Rosario Vizcaino was the mastermind behind this idea, founding the radio program in spite of the obstacles involved in taking on such a large project. "I had proposed the idea of starting a web-based radio since there was no radio on campus. My classmates thought the project was very difficult to do, so they opted for another project and the group dropped the idea. I then proceeded on my own and within about two weeks the radio was created," Vizcaino stated. In a year's time, CSUSM Col- RADI ° V O T E D BEST N E W lege Radio has evolved from inPoHin •; £ spiration to reality. In 2010, Student Life and Leadership formally recognized the radio program as a student organization. The Student Media Advisory Council (SMAC) now recognizes the program as an official student media outlet. CSUSM College Radio is a web based radio station that is run "by students for the students" according to its website, www. csusm.info. Students can tune in to several different shows, view a schedule of show content and air times, and contact the radio program via chat or messages. The station features a variety of music to suit any taste, so there is something for every CSUSM student. Campus news and events are also broadcast through the CSUSM radio ether; the program often makes an appearance at various CSUSM happenings to give entertainment and live coverage. Because of its primary focus on student interests, CSUSM College Radio strives to show appreciation for its audience. "Currently, we support all campus orgs through live performances and by advertising their events on the web based radio page as well as Facebook. We also host radio shows where any interested student can participate. We promote STUDENT ORG 2011 diversity and encourage campus involvement," Vizcaino said. A positive, fast-paced future is in store for CSUSM College Radio. Vizcaino assured students and faculty that "interest for the radio program is growing very rapidly. I hope that soon we can have our own official studio. Currently we use the services provided by the library such as the music studios to broadcast live on our page. We are currently in the development of creating a training to show students how to DJ. We find there to be a demand for DJ's and we certainly would encourage those who have a passion for music to participate, we'll train you and guide you. Currently, we have a radio class taught by Joan Anderson. The class covers broadcast and journalism for radio, print, and web. It's a very good class for those interested in radio broadcasting. This class helps us with our different shows, as we have to write scripts and agenda's that prepare us for our live shows." All are welcome to join CSUSM College Radio meetings every Monday from 1 - 2 p.m. University Hall 458.

CougarApps allows all students and faculty to download software available on campus computers from the comfort of their homes. Through CougarApps, users can gain access to programs such as SPSS, Maple, MatLab, Crystal Ball, MiniTab, NVIVO, and Adobe CS5. This service is available for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Droid and any device with an Internet browser. To access CougarApps, students and faculty can use their Internet browsers to access https:// cougarapps.csusm.edu. From there, users log in with their CSUSM user-name and password to download a browser plug-in. Once the plug-in is installed, students can utilize any of the programs available from the list to continue the work they started at school. Many of the programs offered are used in the labs on campus, so any projects students begin using school computers can continue from anywhere a student has Internet access. In the fall, all instructor stations and lab computers will come equipped with CougarApps. Unfortunately, not all campus programs are available on CougarApps. Software licensing issues prevent CSUSM to make every campus program available for home use. CougarApps will be available for free to all students and faculty next semester.

Over the course of the competition, we recycled an average of 20 pounds of paper, 15 pounds of cardboard, and surprisingly only 13 pounds of bottles and cans per person. Questions arose regarding whether or not CSUSM may have had a slight advantage over the other colleges that participated. Do we use more paper, so we recycle it more? With there being over 20 vending machines, a cafeteria and a market, do we sell and then recycle more plastic bottles and cans? An unproven rumor has been floating around campus implying the main reason why we win each year is that our campus janitorial staff is specifically trained to separate the recyclable materials out from the trash. According the rules of RecycleMania, "The competition's goal is to increase student awareness and involvement in campus recycling through collaboration and partnership with participating schools," and says nothing about the legality of janitorial help within the competition. If the main goal of the competition is get student to participate in recycling and we are having the hard-working janitorial staff do most of the work for us, then what are we the students really learning about recycling?

Though finding internships relevant to your job field may seem impossible, many opportunities actually exist closer than students may think. Our campus features a variety of internship opportunities available to students in many disciplines all geared to provide valued work experience. Specialized internships available on campus include disciplines such as health education, multimedia, Sociology, and Kinesiology, just to name a few. Using our university resources makes finding and applying for these internships a simple hasslefreeprocess. Some internships are unpaid, while others may offer course credit. The most rewarding element of internships is the priceless in-action experience. The H.O.P.E (Health, Outreach, Promotion, Education) and Wellness Center in connection with Student Health and Counseling Services offer an internship opportunity composed of students working to educate peers by leading group discussions, marketing campus awareness events and aiding in the planning and facilitating health workshops. This internship requires about six to eight hours of work per week. Those interested in this internship opportunity can contact Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's Health Educator, at cnguyen@csusm.edu. Those with experience in website development, multimedia and HTML can apply for an internship to maintain a website for Kamp Katrina. Kamp Katrina is a camp that provides shelter to city street musicians in New Orleans and is in need of an intern that can assist in updating the website regularly. Those interested can also receive internship units for Visual and Performing Arts or Literature and Writing Studies. Interested applicants can contact lead supervisor for the project, Dr. Dawn Formo, Associate Dean for Instruction and Academic Programs, at dformo@csusm.edu. Internships available exclusively to Kinesiology majors at the Clarke Field House present opportunity for work in personal training, ASI recreation and in athletic training. Research opportunities within Kinesiology offer a wide range of concentration topics and can also receive internship units within the major. For more details and contact information, visit www.csusm. e du/kinesiology/interships. Sociology internships present a unique chance to "shadow" an expert in the field of your choice at a local agency; students may present their suggestions for expert and agency prior to registering for internship credit and must seek department approval. This internship opportunity ranks high among Sociology and Criminal Justice majors as it is a required capstone course need for graduation.

Other internship and job hunting search tools exclusive to our student community include CougarJobs, CSUSM's very own job search engine that enables local employers on and off campus to post job opportunities geared for student workers and recent graduates. In connection with the Career Center on campus, CougarJobs can be accessed through the Career Center's main website, www.csusm.edu/careers. �8 SPORTS MAY lOTH, 2011 fÜK ¡ ¡t CRASH COURSE I COUGAR SPORTS u r a i r r i l MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR Women's basketball signs another recruit d Coach Sherri Jennum has ded another woman's ba recruit, and tWs time a Jp | ||g- Chelsea M a W r o f mont College.

THE PRIDE PAR FOR THE COURSES EXPERIENCE SAN DIEGO GOLFING O WEN HEMSATH PRIDE STAFF W RITER The golf course may not be the first place a college student turns to for hot summer fun, but an afternoon at the green could turn out to be the best decision you make this summer. Filled with fresh grass, clear water ponds, ducks and funny shoes, golf courses in San Marcos offer a great and relaxing way to enjoy the summer sun without exhausting your wallet or your patience. Golf courses typically offer beverage services with products ranging from a classic Coke to bitter brews, and carry all the excitement and fun associated with an afternoon around friends minus the crowds and the costs. Golfing also provides its participants with a variety of sporting options, and courses in the North County area typically offer accommodations for beginners. For example, while 18 holes may be a bit much for newbie (as this may take three to four hours of play time), playing.the front or "back 9" holes could be an awesome way to spend some time with goodfriendsin good conversation and practice that swing you've been meaning to improve. No clubs — no worries. Golf courses offer rental clubs for daily use or individual clubs for purchase in case you'd like to build up your set, and most courses offer drink services along the way. Tee times can range from $20 to $40 depending on your course and cart. If a round is not your thing, try the putting greens. Like a mini-golf course without the 2-year olds (or the windmillshey, you can't have it all) the putting greens allow a slower pace for practicing putts while still providing the same sunlight and bar service you have come to expect from a golf course. While the greens only require a putter and don't cost a thing, it's wise to respect the tranquil environment known of sport while in this arena. If chatter and laughs are more your game the perhaps the driving range could be your thing. The driving range is a place where you can release the stress of finals without any concern for property. Golf courses provide hundreds of square yards of grass (and sometimes water) where you can whack those golf balls as hard as you want. There are even times when a man drives through the field in a protected vehicle to collect the various golf balls — pretend he's a teacher or an unruly student or that seriously tough exam and do your worst. The driving range is a great place to release some energy, practice your swing, and chat with some friends. Plus, it's not to far from the drink service and a small bucket of balls can cost anywhere from $4 to $6. So don't knock it before you try it. Golfing could be the unlikely hero of your next outing with friends. Try something new, and get out to the greens this summer. If you don't have the balls, you can buy some there. Four players earn A ll honors Sandberg pitcher, Williams Coach of Year Softball pitcher Brenna Sandberg has been named the Association of Independent Institutions Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season, and this year three Cougars join her on the All-Conference Team. Head Coach Dave Williams receivedhis second straight Conference Coach of the Year award. Junior first baseman Alyssa Dronenburg, freshman second baseman Alex Miller, and freshman outfielder Derrisha Lacey all earned spots on the A i l . All-Conference Team, which was announced at Wednesday night's conference awards banquet in Carlsbad. Sandberg, a 2010 NAIA Second Team All-American, led the NAIA with 35 wins and 255.2 innings pitched. She ranks nationally in the top 10 in strikeouts (322) and earned run average (1.10). Dronenburg, who led the team with 9 home runs, earned her third straight All-Conference appearance. Expect the exceptional Miller and'Lacey to do the same. A J J .

Although I am far from a successful bowler, and do not bowl often, I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of the activity. Bowling is a versatile sport, because it appeals to both competitive participants and easygoing newcomers. "Granny" style throws, spin throws and approaches to the lane all bring amusement to the game. At the end of the day, I learned how to properly throw a bowling ball down a lane [without bumpers], lost a bet of who would win, and dis- covered a new victory dance.

While the CSUSM baseball team rose to unprecedented heights on Saturday, the Softball team, without warning, suddenly fell to earth. The baseball team reigns as A.I.I. (American Independent Institutions) champion. The Softball team is champion of the couch. Last week, the Softball team soared to #2 in the national rankings, with a 39-7 record. The baseball team, meanwhile, won nine of their last 10, which still left them#at 32-17, and out of the top 25 altogether. Baseball received 4 points in the May 3 poll. Softball got 648. Last week, the A.I.I. named Brenna Sandberg pitcher of the year, and named Dave Williams coach of the year. The baseball team was still named the Cougars. Last month, baseball entered April looking pedestrian, with a record of 18-12. The softball team entered April looking like Godzilla eating pedestrians, with a record of 29-5. Last year, baseball feebly bowed out of the All. championship, losing both of their games. Softball, led by perfect pitching from Brenna Sandberg, swept their side of the A.I.I. championship. Then they won a few games in the national championship tournament for good measure. But last week, the baseball team boarded a plane bound for Thomasville, GA, ready to take their place as the #1 seed in the conference tournament, cool and full of confidence. The softball team traveled only in a procession of cars, down Highway 78 to the CarlsbadMarriottoacceptawards. In fairness, the other softball squads traveled long distances to get to San Marcos. Most were as tough as hour-old ballgame gum, and they were ready. As usual, hardly anyone touched Sandberg, who allowed 4 runs in 3 games. But the pitching dominance of the opposition — for once — would be the Cougars's downfall, as the powerful San Marcos lineup managed only 1 run in both of their shocking losses to Simon Fraser and Houston-Victoria. Back in Georgia, pitchers might have well been replaced with pitching machines. The big bats of Johnny Omahen and Austin Coleman led the Cougars to 10, 21, and 10 runs in their three victories, but they never looked like sure winners. Yet victorious they were, escaping in a week- end firelight reminiscent of that last scene in Scarface, entering an unfamiliar field and gunning down Thomas University and Houston-Victoria (twice) to automatically advance to the NAIA national championships. Softball, meanwhile, was Tony Montana, powerful and prominent, landing shots and scoring a victory, but ultimately getting gunned down in thenown home. How could this happen? A t. the CSUSM baseball field on Saturday, there were no celebrations, no interviews, no answered questions. The hosts had left the premises. The championship field will be announced this week, but the golden girls must sit at home in suspense and wait for a phone call from the NAIA, wondering if the committee will choose them as , a at-large bid for the national tournament in Alabama. Any team ranked #2 nationally just a week before the decision should expect to be selected. But there are only 4 spots to fill. With this collapse, who knows? CSUSM baseball players will wake up this week and worry about the finals they must study for and the papers they will research and write, trying to maintain their focus in the midst of their excitement. Softball players will try to overcome the anxiety of the unknown, hoping to get one last shot. If their fortunes turn better than Tony Montana's, and they are given new life, expect nothing less than a championship effort. This was an accident. Coach Williams's team can beat anyone, and given another chance, it just might beat them all.

Originally, the tour featured many bands pertaining to the punk rock genre. Over the last few years though, the music scene of the tour has changed along with the constantly changing generation of attendees and the tour has night and each band plays about a 30 minute set that usually intertwines or shares the times of other bands on separate stages, giving visitors the opportunity to set up their own schedule of who they want to see.

Booths are set up on the tour's grounds where attendees tors could even meet up with the bands after their sets). The event has also taken opportunities to conserve and recycle with the Warped Tour Initiative, by saving on fuel for buses, encouraging guests to recycle for prizes and even using a solar-powered stage.

"Thor" and "Fast Five" are already tearing up the box office, but The Pride provides a guide to the many other soon-to-be blockbusters that everybody's looking forward to this summer. "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (May 20) The fourth film in the incredibly lucrative "Pirates" franchise doesn't star Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightley or any of the million subplots that plague the last two films, but it does see Johnny Depp's long-awaited return as good old Captain Jack. Even better, the beautiful Penelope Cruz joins Jack on his search for the fountain of youth, and the return of his frequently-lost ship, the Black Pearl.

A monkey, a Mike-Tyson face tattoo and a rumored celebrity cameo all factor into the mystery. "Green Lantern'' (June 17) "Green Lantern" has been hotly anticipated by comic geeks the world over, partially because the titular hero is the first DCcomics character beside Superman and Batman to get his own film. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, a playboy test pilot who becomes a superhero when he is given a powerful ring by an extraterrestrial and must use his newfound powers to protect Earth from the forces of evil.

"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (July 1) While a worldwide success, the second "Transformers" film wasn't incredibly popular with critics, or Megan Fox for that matter, who left the production's third installment. However, the trailer promises some epic action that few will be able to resist, as the Autobots race to reach an important artifact on the moon before the evil Decepticons do. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" (July 15) To call the eighth Harry Potter film the most anticipated film of the summer would be an understatement, the most anticipated film of the past decade would be a more reasonable label. The final installment of the most successful film franchise, in history, picks up where the last film left off and promises to tie up all the loose ends, with lots of typically great performances and nonstop 4ctiony,ail in glojjous 3D. �C OUGAR G AMES 1 4 73 6 5 9 7 289 42 1 7 4 38 6 7 1 9 6 5 35 2 9 293 8 6 S UDOKU 5 3 I i AND CROSSWORD Is N p DPR AL 1 1U V |S B N sEE 0A0 McR H1 WsA uNp DME NRH 0UT SNU S A A 0 A R B p U S R L N 0 D p N S 1 C S U U R L A S M T 0 A s s E A R H L R X U P S M 0 F c c A T E 1 U 1 N F K N L R L 1 S W 1 M 1 N G T R U N K S 1 P U R 0 M G L G A V S P S S P 0 N R N U A S P 0 L F P 1 L F R S U N S C R E E N 0 S U 0 L T E A S B E N 0 A P U E R 0 0 0 T E S T U N 0 C 0 C M R p p H S R A D A L 0 C A N 1 P S H Mj T W B 1 K 1 N 1 E U 1 C H U S ummer Sun S ets B each f lip f lop Sun S creen Sun G lasses SPF F lip F lops T ropics R elaxing O utdoors V acation ""f ! i** * T he F air P ools H ot W ater P arks T an S un B urn Ice C ream S plash S and A loe C oconuts S wiming T runks B ikini P ina C olada 1 - �18 MAY 10TH, 2011 T HE PRIDE A&E "OFFCENTRE" DANCERS OWN THE STAGE C OMMUNITY, G LOBAL T HEMES R EPRESENT T HE T ENTH A N N U A L D A N C E C ONCERT N ANCY, R OSSIGNOL P RIDE STAFF W RITER to a medley of Western, Hawaiian and Latino music followed in "Jump!

A group of students choreographed and performed a dra- The Visual and Performing Arts Department hosted its tenth annual dance concert performance, "OffCentre," May 5 - 6 in Arts 111.The free event provided an opportunity for dance students to share concepts through movement and to "open up expectations of what dance is to the public," said Karen Schaffman, Associate Professor of Dance and Production Director. T he. student-run stage production featured 11 works created by dance students and faculty. Participants chose their own genre, theme, costumes and music using elements and techniques learned in Choreography, „ Contemporary Technique, Global Modern Dance and Theatre Production and Design classes. Genres included a mix of ballet, jazz, street, hip-hop and global modern daiice, beginning with an emotive, contemporary piece called "Jar of Hearts." Dancers performed to the disjointed rhythms of Beats Antique in "UNO," a street dance with an urban flare. An energetic performance matic portrayal of a modern love triangle in "Bitter Sweet." Two impeccably timed, lively dances picked up the pace just before intermission in "Le Jazz Hot" and "Creature of the Night," a sexy burlesque combination of works to music by Cher, Queen Latifah, Marilyn Monroe and Christina Aguilera. The mood turned somber after inter mission in "The Red C," a work dedicated to thousands of dolphins slaughtered in Taiji, Japan, by a group of six choreographers and dancers. With a video running in the background from the 2009 docu- mentary "The Cove," dancers moved fluidly about the stage like a community of dolphins ending in agonizing death. In "Tribute to Tagore," Dance 320 students performed pieces to a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Born in Calcut- ta, India, Tagore was the first Asian to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 as a poet, novelist, playwright and visual artist. Tagore challenged traditional Indian dances, according to the "OffCentre" program, by focusing on "naturalistic expression of human emotional experience." In the first dance recognizing a collection of ppems by Tagore, dancers moved around the stage with tea lights in their hands, forming two symmetrical circles center stage, then merging together in a spectacular natural light show. A t raditional Indian harvest dance followed, inspired by Bengali folk music r epresenting seasons ; and village life, including traditional hand movements such as the "bird" and the "locust," dancer Chanel Bradley said. Two groups choreographed and _ performed beautifully in "Reflection" and "Trouble is a Friend" to music by Lenka. An ensemble of five energetic hip hop numbers with music by Rihanna, Sucka Free CJ, Ke$ha, Usher, and Pink completed the evening in the crowd-pleasing finale "World War You." �A&E THE PRIDE !?8®S®§B sat ® M 1 u M U2 MAY 10TH, 2011 • N EWS E DITOR When: Saturday, June 18 Where: Angel Stadium of Anaheim Time- 7 p.m. Etc: This Irish rock band, originally from Dublin, launches the -360" tour as a support of the highly successfully album "No Line on the Horizon."

One pivotal college experience is quite simple, not that expensive, and can (potentially) reveal a lot about you and the personalities of those you travel with: road trip. My limited knowledge of long-term travel has led me to one conclusive thought: road trips are made or broken by the music that accompanies them. You might get stuck with the annoying guy who hogs the chips or the relative who snores, but strategically placed tunes tend to fix most anything within the square footage of a sedan. Some songs beg for the road. I don't know what it is about me and Cameron Crowe films, but "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John as utilized in "Almost Famous" is practically anthemic in the context of a highway. Another Crowe movie, "Elizabethtown," with its indulgent use of the mix tape, uses John's "My Father's Gun" as another powerful tune with a resonating chorus. For some reason, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are the best representation of '70s music I can come up with. Along with Jackson Browne and James Taylor, road trip playlists will have that special bit of nostalgia combined with just damn good lyrics. Key tracks: "Helpless," "Sky Blue and Black," "Running on Empty" and "Fire and Rain " With every classic, there must be something modern for balance. Kings of Convenience, an electro-folk pop band, bring that special mix of composition and jive to playlists with songs like "I'd Rather Dance with You" and "Know How " Icelandic artist Bjork has a track called "All is Full of Love" that has as much electrónica as it does emotion. As for a playlist's requisite rock, Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You" is a must. [For the best vibe, use the live version off "How the West Was Won." All the imperfections make it sound fresh.] Although incomparable, The Black Keys have some purely rocking songs that are easy to listen to and almost pop-driven. Some of the band's road-ready tracks include "Do the Rump," "Everlasting Light" and "Thickfreakness." A few tunes for good measure: "Dress Looks Nice on You" by Sufjan Stevens, "All I Need" by Radiohead, "Ragged Wood" by Fleet Foxes, "Gray Stables" by Iron & Wine, "Natural Anthem" by the Postal Service, "Saturday Sun" by Nick Drake, "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young and "Hold Music" by Architecture in Helsinki. Of course, these are just my personal playlist standbys. Humor me. Although I know (and you can surely tell) that I haven't included all that I want to, there's one song I just couldn't feel right about leaving off a road trip playlist: "America" by Simon and Garfunkel. The lyrics portray the innocence of youth in an epic way, I'd recommend beginning the road trip with this track. I guarantee it will make you feel free. Good playlists have variety and feeling. They must be tailored to fit individual tastes but familiar enough to have the right energy. Enjoy the trip and absorb the music. No matter - how many miles you travel, it will go quicker than you think. �oto Courtesey of: Wikipedia II Paramount Pictures A NOTHER M M : SERIES HITS T HE B IG SCREEN " THOR" S UREfb BE T HUNDEROUS IN THE BOX OFFICE M ORGAN HALE^ip?

If you have never read a "Thor" comic, there is no need to worry; the storyline is simple enough for everyone to understand. The film also subtly introduces the superhero Hawkeye. So subtly in fact that unless you have been following "The Avengers" on IMDb.com, you would have no idea that Jeremy Renner's tiny role in "Thor" is setting up "The Avengers" storyline. I say hands down this movie is fantastic and will no doubt excel in the box office the entire summer, or at least until "Captain America" comes out at the end of July, but the only filing I feel that fell short was the computerized scenory. With "Avatar" paving the way and introducing a new film future of crystal clean, realistic scenery, "Thor" could have been top notch, if only they had implemented this new technique, A word to the wise, stay until the very end of the film. Stay glued to your seat and continue to watch past the closing credits. There is a clip exploring an alternate ending, hinting at next summer's "Avenger" movie. •BRIDESMAID Photo Courtesey of: Wikipedia II Apptowinc to Lourtesey of: WikiffedicH^pptowmc � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
