K IM COURTNEY/PIONEER
Cal State San Marcos' Associated Students
are starting their first year in the red.
Due to the failure of a key measure in last
semester's student election's, the newly formed
student government began its duties with no
money. To gain capital for its first semester
budget and to qualify for incorporation, the A.S.
turned to the University Foundation for financial assistance.
The Foundation responded with a loan of
$12,920 to the A.S., with a planned repayment
over the next three semesters. The Associated
Students are planning fund-raisers and promoting the passage of ballot measures next semester
to collect fees for loan repayment and Spring
1992 operational fees.
"During the summer, the A.S. Council devised a strategy to find a way to get funds for
operations,'' said A.S. President Jose Chapman.
Lack of funds for the A.S. became apparent
after a measure on the spring ballot enabling
student governmentto collect student fees failed
to be passed.
Even though a measure assessing a $ 15 fee to
students gained narrow support by the voting
population, the fees could not be collected
without the passing of an enabling measure.
A ccording t o C hapman, t he e nabling
measure's failure was due to difficulty in understanding the wording of the measure on the
ballot. He said the language was confusing
enough that students were not entirely sure on
what they were voting.
Wording for the measure came directly from
Title V, a document which sets guidelines on
how student governments in California are to
operate. Some students indicated during the
elections that they were not clear on the purpose
of the measure.
Chapman said the A.S. Council worked
during the summer to clarify and summarize the
wording of the Title V measure so students will
better understand its meaning. The enabling
measure along with the previous measure assessing student fees will be reintroduced to the
students in an October election.
Executive VicePresidentof CSUSM,Richard
Rush, who sits on the Foundation's board, said
helping the A.S. get on its feet was a way for the
Foundation to help support the university
community.
"The Foundation is a non-profit organization
which supports the university by generating,
receiving and administering funds for the university," Rush said.
The Foundation is a self-supporting organization which receives funding through gifts and
donations. Approximately 70 people who have
donated $5,000 are recognized as founders.
Additional monies were garnered from grants
and corporate donations.
Population almost doubles
Student ethnicity low;
faculty diversity high
The more things change, the more they stay
the same.
Even though Cal State San Marcos' student
population recorded a 43 percent increase, it has
grown little in terms of ethnic diversity.
CSUSM's faculty profile, on the other hand,
reflects a degree of ethnic diversity that tops
both nationwide and Cal State system averages.
The student population reached 1,114 as of
August 27 with 730 students qualifying for Full
Time Equivalent (FTE) status. In order to qualify
for FTE status, a student must hold IS units or
more.
Michael Yee, of the Office of Admissions
and Records, says the number of FTE students
falls short of projections.
" We're still under the number of students we
would like," Yee says. The university was hoping
for 750 FTE students. FTE is a determining
factor for state funding.
Women continue to dominate the population
of CSUSM, comprising 61 percent of the total
enrollment. The female enrollment is down
from 74 percent last semester. The avetage age
of students still looms at 29.
" We're looking at reentry women at this age,
rather than the typical college cohort" said Vice

Designers get seal of approval
Graphics Solutions, a full service graphic design and sign planning
firm, has been retained to provide design concepts, working drawings
and bid specs for the "Founders Seal" to be inset in the paving of the
Founders' Plaza at the permanent CSU San Marcos campus.
The bronze and terrazzo seal will include symbolic imagery representing the founding of the university: the initial three colleges, the
school's mission statement and names of the one hundred initial
founders," said Simon Andrews, Graphic Solutions' Principal.
The permanent campus is scheduled to open in 1992.
College of Education offers new course
The College of Education has announced the addition of "Education
471, The Secondary School," this fall as a service to students who want
to get their undergraduate degrees here and enter a Single Subject
Credential Program at San Diego State University.
This course is a required pre-requisite for the SDSU program that is
impacted on their campus. The Director of Teacher Education at SDSU
has confirmed that this new class will be accepted as a substitute for their
course.
This is the only time this course will be offered during the 1991-92
academic year. Next semester, the College will offer another prerequisite course in multicultural education.
Shuttle Service Discontinued
During the 1990 spring semester, Library Services subsidized a van
which shuttled students to the SDSU Love Library up to nine time a
week. Because only 14 students utilized this service andduetoeconomic
reasons, the Library has discontinued the service.
Spanish proficiency added
In January, 1994, Cal State San Marcos will implement a new factor
in admitting students to all credential programs in the College of
Education. At that time and thereafter, the College will ask applicants
to describe their facility in Spanish and it will be a factor in making
admission decisions.
The College of Education will not require that all admitted students
know Spanish, but it will be one of a number of factors taken into
account in the admission process.
Volunteers needed
Volunteers are needed to help with Cal State San Marcos* first
International Festival scheduled for Oct. 27. Those students interested
should contact the Vice President of Student Services Office in Bldg.
125.
The festival was established by a donation from Itoman & Compant
Ltd., which announced a $500,000 endowment to the college for the
establishment of the event. The money will be apportioned out in
$50,000 increments over the next 10 years.
Scholarship information available
Scholarship information for Cal State San Marcos students is maintained in the reception area of the Scholarship and Financial Aid office,
now located in building 800. Students are invited to stop by and research
scholarship opportunities.
As new scholarship information becomes available, notices will be
posted in Pioneer.

Campus Construction
Work on permanent site continues
after setbacks tightened schedule
LARRY BOISJOLiE/PIONEER
After suffering from a prolonged
contractor's dispute and heavy March
rains, construction of Phase I on Cal
State San Marcos' permanent campus
off Twin Oaks Valley Road may not
be completed by the fall 1992 deadline.
Phase I includes the $14 million
Craven Hall, an academic core consisting of one lecture hall and a laboratory facility and the c ampus'
physical plant, which will house receiving and handling.
"It's too tight to call right now,"
said Albert Amado, vice president of
Physical Planning and Campus Construction. "The project lost three and
a half months with the contractor's
dispute."
In September, construction on the
nearly $50 million project ground to a
halt after grading subcontractor C.W.
Poss claimed that contractor Louetto
Construction Inc. failed to pay them
1.3 million for work already completed at the site.
Louetto was terminated from its
responsibilities at the permanent site
in October and replaced with Lusardi
Construction Company.
Worries that drought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site were drowned when
heavy rainfall hit San Marcos in
March. The "March Miracle" left the
ground too muddy thereby hindering
progress.
"The ground under Craven Hall
was so saturated, we had vehicles
getting stuck in the mud," Amado
cited. "We lost some time there."
Construction projects typically
experience weather delays, said
Amado, but having lost valuable time
in the contractor's dispute, much of
the construction schedule's buffer
time was lost.
Amado said Lusardi recently
completed its function of preparing
the site, putting the project back on
schedule. "We're pleased with the
quality of work done by Lusardi,"
Amado said.
Already the campus' main drive is
completed with water, reclamation,
electric and gas lines installed. Trees
with activated irrigation systems are
in place and buildings are beginning
to rise and take shape.
Four different contractors are
working concurrently on the project,
adding further complexity to the
building task. Amado said the contractors have been working well to
coordinate their tasks with other contractors.
Foundations for the lecture and lab
buildings are almost complete, said
Amado. Meanwhile, workers are almost finished with theframeworkand
deck systems in the lab building. This
week steel frame construction is set to
begin on Craven Hall and will continue
for six weeks.
The six-story Craven Hall will be
the first "feature building" on the
campus and will house all of the $2
million in computer systems used to
run the first phase of the campus. It
will also serve as the campus library
and house administration.
Craven Hall set construction bidding standards for the new campus
whenBodellConstructionofSaltLake
City, bid $1.4 million below the
buildings budgeted c ost Amado said
at the low-bidding trend should continue throughout the entire construction project.
The university is in the process of
seeking cladding materials and concrete for Craven Hall's stucco finish.

Millman shares views on curriculum
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Richard Millman, was chosen in a
nation-wide search to fill the position
of Academic Vice President of Cal
State San Marcos. Millman received
his Ph.D. from Cornell University and
his B.S. in Mathematics from MIT. He
has authored three books on mathematics and has published over 35
articles on mathematical subjects.
As Academic Vice President,
Millman is responsible for all academic
planning and programs at the university.
This year Cal State San Marcos saw the
addition of two new m ajors. W hat's in
store f or the f uture?
We will be offering a wide variety of
majors ranging from the standard ones like
Biology, Chemistry and English to some less
standard ones, perhaps including things like
Criminal Justice. We will explore the eventuality of Engineering.
We are a comprehensive university and
will be in the year 2000, so we will cover all
of the Bachelor's degrees and we will also
have Master's degrees in those areas where it
is justified by demand by local area businesses, by student demand and by intellectual
demand.
RICHARD MILLMAN/ACADEMIC VICE PRESIDENT
Any sign of when more M aster's degree

Within the next five years. We anticipate
having two Master's degrees programs very

Do you think instructors should use
originality in exercising the r equirement?
There are lots of different ways to get
students to write in class. One is to have free
writing, where students can write whatever
they're thinking about Students can write by
listening to the professor talk in the class then
in the last ten minutes of class the professor
says, 'tell me what I've just told you.' What
the professor will learn from that is enormous.
The professor will learn what the students
have trouble with very spontaneously.
The alternative to that is to let the students
go home and think about what they've just
heard in class and for the next session write a
paragraph or two explaining what they've just
heard. That's another way of really learning
the material in the class that both the students
and the professor learn from.
The idea of writing a 10-page paper is also
an excellent one. Sometimes ideas that have
been around for a long time are excellent.
Innovation is not synonymous with quality.
When you get out in the real world, that's
what you are going to be doing a lot, no
matter what your discipline is.
The multi-draft format that professor have
used, where the paper the student has done is
given back with comments all over it and a
note asking to redo it, is a very effective
learning tool for the students.
Each individual university has its own
reputation f or something. San Diego State
has its football team; MIT has engineering.
How's CSUSM going to find its niche?
We're going to find our niche by the
strength of our faculty and the successes of
our students. We have already achieved a
niche in the quality of our undergraduate
program by looking at the curriculum. We are
in the process, of course, of operationalizing
that.
I don't know of any university that
requires 2,500 words for every course. The
language requirement for all students; the
incredible emphasis on internationalism both
in the general education and in the major; the
emphasis on diversity are all important for
shaping the university.
At this time do you think that CSUSM is
meeting its Mission statement?
Very much so. The Mission statement has
guided us in every way through the curriculum; through recruitment; our faculty and our
staff; and through the computer-literacy
requirement which we are in the process of
operationalizing..
If the p ermanent campus doesn't open
in the fall of 1992, how will the academic
plan be affected?
The affect of whether or not we will be
able to move to the site will be on number of
students we will have not on the majors we

In review of the previous year'sperformance
of the faculty and staff here, President Bill
Stacy, among other things, recommended that
the college community create more activities
just to have fun (he was wearing pants during his
presentation). If this summer is any indication
of what's ahead, he doesn't have to worry much.

In Stacy's address to the faculty, he focused
on the upcoming events and plans for this newly
born university. With approximately 50 new
faculty and additional staff, there are plans to be
made and implemented. But one important point
everyone is missing happened a few years back:
CSUSM's birthday.
Last Saturday, on Sept. 1, CSUSM turned 2years-old. On that date in 1989, then-California
Governor George Deukmejian and Senator Bill
Craven signed SB 365 into law, thus giving life

Highlights of construction on Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus site on Twin Oaks Valley Road:
C ONTINUED F ROM P AGE A 3
Amado said construction on the
physical plant is also moving along
well. The physical plant facility is
expected to be completed in November. In 60-90 days after the building's
completion, group and equipment
move-in can begin.
While construction continues at
the campus site, the City of San Marcos is working on a project of its own.
A six-lane roadway between the new
college's main entrance and the freeway is now under construction.
Amado said he anticipates the construction to continue until 1993.
Storm drains and an underground
69 kv powerline will run beneath the
road that will be a major artery for the
city's Heart of the City project
The Heart of the City project
consists of 1,600 acres of land including the university that will be
completely controlled in terms of architecture and landscape. The project
will be designed around CSUSM's
Mediterranean style to give the feel of
a university village.
Amado said the campus construction project is bound to run into some
snags, but that he is trying to minimize
problems as they arise.
" We're reacting as quickly as
possible to contractor questions," he
said. "By the time we roll around to
the rainy period, we should be completely out of the ground."
If construction continues past the
fall 1992 scheduled opening date,
Amado said the decision of when to
move on to the site will come from
to this new community.
The bill, signed here on campus, gave the
university its name and established it as the
twentieth CSU school in the state.
Happy Birthday CSUSM. Watch out world,
we're into the terrible twos.
1990
• Fe& 23: Cal State San Marcos President Bill Stacy,
along with the university's founding faculty, held the
groundbreaking ceremonies at the permanent site, starting
Phase I.
• Aug. 26: CSUSM welcomed its first students.
• November: It is reported that construction costs for
Phase I jumped 20 percent due to unexpected amounts of
rocks and DDT on the campus site. Construction on the site
set the construction schedule two months behind.
• Nov. 27: Bids were accepted for Craven Hall, the first
feature building on the campus. Bodell Construction from
Salt Lake City, Utah, won the bids at $14,325,000, $1.4
million under budget. The highest of the 11 bidders still came
$200,000 under the $15.8 million budgeted for the building.
The bidding set a president for future projects.
• October: Construction on the campus grounded to a
halt due to contractual dispute between General Contractor
Louetto Construction and grading subcontractor C.W.Poss.
Poss officials claim that Louetto was delinquent in paying
them $1.3 million for work already completed at the site.
• November: The university terminated Louetto from its
contractual responsibilities due to the contractor dispute.
Lusardi Construction, a San Marcos-based company, was
awarded the interim contract to replace Louetto.

In the meantime, the university is
moving forward in seeking funding in
Sacramento for Phase II. The phase
will service 5,000 students.
Amado said the second phase has
already been delayed by at least one
year due to the failure of Proposition
143 on last November's ballot
The Proposition would have added
$10 million in revenues to CSUSM
that would have been used for furniture and the acquisition of books for
the library's core collection.
• Feb. 6: Stacy guided Senator Gary Hart on a tour of the
campus to explain budget problems with future phases of
construction. Although Phase I was already budgeted and
paid for, funds for other phases was to come from the failed
Proposition 143.
• March 4: Construction began on Craven Hall.
• March 5: Construction began on the Academic Core.
• March: Although some considered the rain the "March
Miracle," the excess water caused problem with construction on campus. Weather delays were scheduled in, but all

Board of Supervisee axes incinerator
while trash piles up in local landfill
Last month, the county Board of Supervisors
dumped San Marcos' plans for a $325 million
trash-to-energy incinerator. With the demise of
the trash plant, North County is scrambling to
find a resting home for its refuse.
The county landfill currently spans 73 acres
in the city of San Marcos and rises 750 feet.
Plans to expand the landfill to 209 acres were
voted on by the San Marcos City Council on
July 14, but without their trash-to-energy plant,
San Marcos may revoke the decision.
San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau says the
landfill expansion was contingent upon the
passing of the incinerator. For now, North County
cities will continue to dump at the landfill. But
even if the landfill expansion is approved again
by the City Council, San Marcos could possibly
revoke land-use permits forcities other than San
Marcos.
" I'm g oing to protect my c ity," cites
Thibadeau.
Since the landfill is expected to reach capacity
by the end of the year, all of North County's
cities will be left without a local place to dump
their refuse, unless the city expands the existing
site.
Thibadeau says that if San Marcos approves
the expansion plan, he wants to limit the landfill's
use to his city and adjacent unincorporated areas
only.
Although the County owns the land, they
cannot run the landfill without special permits
from the city of San Marcos.
"The only way they can legally expand the
landfill is if we allow a permit," Thibadeau says.
"We might not do that." *
However, Escondido Mayor Jerry Harmon
says San Marcos has no legal right to deny use
of the landfill to anyone.
" I think legally they (San Marcos) are not in
the position to do that," Harmon says. "San
Marcos does not have legal authority to operate
the landfill."
Thibadeau claims that with the right permit,
the county can still operate the landfill just for
San Marcos. "The county doesn't have to take
care of every city's trash."
Thibadeau and a majority of the San Marcos
City Council have officially shown support for
the trash-to-energy plant since 1985.
Trash plant history laced with controversy
The incinerator saga began in 1981 when the
county signed an agreement with Herzog Contracting Corp. to operate the San Marcos landfill
and have exclusive rights to develop a trash-toenergy plant at the site.
Since that time rights went to North County
Resource Recovery Associates, a jointly owned
subsidiary of Thernio Electron Corporation and
SCA Services. In 1984, Thermo Electron lost
SCA Services as a partner and worked with
three other partners until 1990.
Opposition to the incinerator began in 1984,
when North County C oncerned C itizens
(NCCC), filed the first of more than a dozen
lawsuits challenging the trash plant. The group,
consisting mostly of residents in the Elfin Forest
area of San Marcos, was concerned over environmental impacts of the p lant
Citizens for Healthful Air in San Marcos
(CHASM) joined the NCCC in opposition to the
project. In 1985 CHASM garnered enough
signatures to put the issue before the v otes in
April of that year. The petition was later thrown
out by a Vista Superior Court judge.
The issue wasfinallybrought to the voters in
September of 1987 by the City Council. The
approval to build the incinerator was granted by
a narrow margin of 229 votes.
After the vote, Carlsbad, Escondido and
Encinitas filed a suit to block the trash plant's
construction. The cities cited economical and
environmental reasons. In 1988, the three cities
filed another suit challenging the trash plant;
five additional suits were filed by other parties
in the same year.
Thibadeau says plant is safe.
According to Thibadeau, the incinerator

would have fallen within state air pollution
control guidelines.
"There's no environmental issues for the
incinerator, i t's economical," says Thibadeau.
Paul Connett, a chemistry professor at St.
Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., and an
expert in trash-to-energy plants, says that incinerators do pose significant environmental
problems as well as environmental ones. Connett
was brought to the area by the NCCC to help
fight the p roject
"Not only will this thing be a financial nightmare for the citizens of this community for the
next 20 years, but the current environmental
dangers of this incinerator are not being addressed," he says.
Connett says trash incinerators release high
levels of dioxins and mercury into the skies.
One-third of a gram of mercury can contaminate
a lake the size of Lake San Marcos. Connett says
incinerators usually pump out250,000 grams of
the substance per year.
Economical feasibility doubted
Even though disputes rage over the environmental impact ofa trash-to-energy plant, another
argument is ensuing over its economical feasibility.
" I'm opposed to the incinerator primarily
because i t's not the best economical solution,"
says Harmon. ' There's cheaper, less expensive
ways to handle the trash problem."
He says the rising cost of the trash plant

SDG&E opts to dissolve contract
In 1983, San Diego Gas and Electric signed
an agreement to buy powerproduced at the trash

would be absorbed by the taxpayers and not
Thermo Electron.
Connett says existing trash plants are economical nightmares for taxpayers. He cites a
case in Warren County, N J., where resident
were promised a $37 per ton tipping fee but
ended up paying $98 per ton.
Cost for the proposed trash plant already has
risen from an originally estimated $100 million
to $325 million.
"This is the most economical way to solve
the problem," Thibadeau says about trash p lant
He says that a potential landfill site off of
Twin Oaks Valley Road just north of Deer
Springs Road would cost taxpayers more money
per year than the trash-to-energy p lant
The 550-acre proposed landfill site would
cost $200 million and be operational for 16.
years, whereas the incinerator, costing $125
million more* would be open for 30 years. In
addition, the incinerator would produce 303
million watts per hour per year of electricity.
A9
Citing that the agreement would force the
utility to pay $46 million more than it would to
buy power from other sources, SDG&E filed a
request to dissolve the contract
Thermo Electron says that the ensuing rate
hike for electricity consumers in San Diego
County would amount to only $ 1 to $2 annually
per household.
If the contract is dissolved, the county would
have to pay even more money to build the plant.
Another concern facing the county's Supervisors was whether North County cities would
try to starve the incinerator by not bringing their
garbage to San Marcos.
At the time of last month's vote, eight North
County cities indicated they would not use the
trash-to-energy facility because they oppose the
incinerator idea.
In order for the proposed incinerator to operate, it requires 625,000 tons of trash per year.
The county would have been required to provide the necessary amount of trash or pay a
penalty fee to Thermo Electron.
Trash transfer centers planned
In addition to the trash-to-energy plant, a
trash transfer center was planned also at the site.
The transfer center would separate recyclable
garbage from non recyclable trash before the
incineration process. Recyclables would then
be sent to recycling centers.
The county wants seven of the transfer centers to be built throughout the area. Four cities,
Escondido, Carlsbad, San Marcos and Vista
have already said they will accept transfer centers
if they are proven to be economically feasible.
The city of Vista has reviewed the proposal
but have already come across opposition from
residents.
"Anything you want to do is with a lot of
opposition," says Bernie Rappaport, Vista City
Council member. Rappaport said that once the
centers are in place they will not be noticed.
"Once they get it put in, no one notices i t's
there. I t's just the thought that causes all the
havoc," he says.
An article in National Geographic cites that
as much as 67 percent of all solid waste in
landfills i s recyclable. Unfortunately, there is
little current market for recycled products. Surpluses of recycled paper, for instance are overflowing.
"There is no market for recyclables," says
Thibadeau. "The curbside material ends up in

With the Writing Center moved to
a smaller space in the Library, Dr.
Ken Mendoza, professor in the English

the loss of the old location. Mendoza
said the Writing Center serviced over
300 students last semester. He said he
was concerned over whether the
smaller space can accommodate so
many students.
"It is unfortunate that we lost such
a valuable multipurpose teaching facility," Mendoza said.
Mendoza recognized the importance of student government and the
need to have its office located in an
accessible place on campus, but said
he will be forced to seek a larger space
that will accommodate more students.
In addition to finding a room for
the student government, the Student
Affairs Office and the A.S. made it
possible for other student groups to
get offices.

major instructional lab and a prep
room," Farris said.
"I love i t," said Larry Cohen,

According to Farris, half of the
off-site campus is used as a warehouse
for the entire university.
Besides the two classrooms in the
lab facility, on-campus classrooms
are in Building 145 and Building 800.
"Our goal was to have everything
in place and settled in by the time

said. "It made people relaxed with
everything that was going on.
"Everyone was very good about

We need to get unconditional

"He that lies with

GEORGE HERBERT
At the end of last semester I heard tell of
something that has caused my spleen to fester
the entire summer. It's not that I know what a
spleen does or where it is exactly, but I am sure
that it is an internal organ that has something to
do with blood.
It was at that period of the school year when
evaluations were passed out in classes and students were awarded the opportunity to gauge
the instructional abilities of their professors that
my ailment began.
Upon hearing that evaluations from the previous semester were virtually ignored by the
administration, a group of students approached
a dean to inquire about the reasons for the snub.
Among other things, the dean replied that, in
some cases, first-semester evaluations amounted
to little more than a popularity contest and that
students may have been coerced into writing
positive evaluations by instructors eager to return.
The dean also stated (and correctly so) that
the university was not obligated to use the
evaluations for personnel rehiring. It was also
stated by the Academic Senate that the evaluations were not of acceptable quality.
In the case of some top-notch professors,
there was no effort made by the administrative
powers-that-be to discover how competent their
classroom performances were.
ations contend that some instructors were little
more than participants in a popularity contest?
Obviously the mean age of students attendingcampusthefirstsemesterwasnotconsidered.
With an average population of 30-year-olds,
CSUSM students had little interest in juvenile
popularity contests or instructional coercion.

you all back from your brief respite.
This year promises to be one of transition, to
say the least. As it goes with new organizations,
and the university is no exception, there will be
growing pains at all levels. We the students will
not be immune to the difficulties associated
with such a process.
For many of us, being here at CSl TSM during
its infancy can be both an exciting time as well
as a time of considerable apprehension. As a
result, I wish to instill in all of you to be prepared
for the unexpected. You will be part and parcel
to the changes that our university will experience.
But, you have, through your vigilance and
campus involvement, the ability to assist in the
developmental process of this university and to
deal with the unexpected.
What do I mean by assisting in the developmental process? Well, one specific thought

educational institutions throughout the
United States and Europe. The exhibits have enjoyed earthshaking
popularity , increasing the attendance
at some museums many times over.
Attendance at the Louisiana Nature and Science Museum, for instance, grew from an average 18,000
visitors to 275,000 during the fivemonth Dinamation exhibit. The
Cleveland Museum ofNatural History
also experienced dramatic attendance
increases during the display's run. It
saw an increased attendance of
287,000 in a four month period.
he Dinamation story began
nearly a decade ago when 47year-old Chris Mays, a pilot
working for TWA, decided that flying commercial airplanes wasn't
mentally taxing enough. Mays quit
the airlines and opted to seek new
opportunities.
"I was bored for a number of years
flying airplanes," Mays says. "I wasn't
using creative energies."
From a neighbor, Mays discovered
robotized dinosaurs on public display
in Japan. He also found that the
company which produced the dinosaurs was putting some of its creatures up for sale.
Mays mentioned the discovery to
neighbor Tom Stifter, who suggested
that he buy the robots for resale in the
United States. Mays followed his
neighbor's advice and Dinamation
was born. The first group of Japanese
dinosaurs cost Mays $500,000.
"We looked for ways to display
the dinosaurs. We thought of displaying them in fairs and malls," Mays
says. "Our last thought was to travel
around and display them in tents."
However, even the best laid plans
of mice and iguanodons run into snags.
Mays found the market for his Japanese-constructed dinosaurs to be slim.
He finally decided on selling the
robots to museums, but budget cuts in
the early 1980s forced them to turn
T
down Mays' products. Museums were
also not convinced that mechanical
dinosaurs would be accepted by the
sceptical public or the scientific
community.
After Mays donated the presence
of a half-sized triceratops to the Los
Angeles Museum of Natural History
to provide background for its annual
dinosaur ball, he hatched the idea of
running joint-venture displays with
museums.
"I knew then and there which direction to go," he says.
By renting dinosaur exhibits to
museums, Mays found a way to launch
a multi-million dollar company while
giving the public a chance to view
representations of the prehistoric p ast
Renting dinosaurs isn't cheap, but
the exhibits turned out to be a major
attraction for museums. The Carnegie
Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh paid more than $150,000 to
Dinamation for a 14-week exhibit
which boosted attendanceby hundreds
of percentage points.
Unfortunately the Japanese dinosaurs lacked scientific accuracy. They
were little more scientifically accurate
than Godzilla.
On urgings from a "friendly museum director," Mays decided that he
would build his own dinosaurs. He
enlisted a panel of advisers which
included some of thé world's top paleontologists to help him design more
scientifically accurate models.
Among the paleontologists were:
Robert Bakker, adjunct curator of
Paleontology at the University of
Colorado in Boulder, George Callison,
professor of Biology at Cal State Long
Beach; Craig Black, the director of
the Los Angeles County Natural
History Museum; and H arley
Armstrong, curator of Paleontology
at the Museum of Western Colorado

through dinosaurs to mammals of today is shown here. Some highlights include:
• 560 million years ago - Soft-bodied creatures are replaced by early vertebrates;
• 420-500 million years ago - Animal life emerges from the oceans.
• 230-360 million years ago - Amphibians evolve into large reptiles, known now a

of a new temporary exhibition showing through Nov. 3 at the San Diego

Park.
A vast collection of fossil remains,
representing 76 million years of San
Diego natural history, will take visitors back to a world when dinosaurs
roamed the earth, man didn't exist,
and the area was completely underwater.
The exhibit displays fossils from
five different geologic time periods.
The Cretaceous (76 m illion years ago)
is the oldest time period and includes
the remains of a hadrosaur, nodosaur
and several species of marine invertebrates. These specimens were found
in the Carlsbad area.
The Eocene Epoch (40-50 million
years ago), containing the remains of
tapirs, rhinoceros and primates, represents fossils throughout North
County.
The East Lake region of eastern
Chula Vista is where many of the
specimens of the Oligocene Epoch
(28 million years ago) were found.
These include the remains of camels,
oreodonts, birds and reptiles.
The Pliocene Epoch (2-3 million
years ago) contains the largest number of fossil remains, most of which
were excavated in the Chula Vista
area. Whales walrus, sharks and sea
birds are just some of the specimens
on display.

live? Don't look toward the
new show 'Dinosaurs' for any correct
answers.
According to the new ABC show,
these enormous reptiles seem to represent a mixture of the main characters in the 'Honeymooners' and the
'Flintstones.' This show reeks of erroneous information and character ripoffs.
Earl Sinclair (remember the green
Sinclair dinosaur?) is a domestic
"father dinosaur" that has a personality
and stomach s imilar to Ralph
Kramden's and Fred Flintstone's.
Earl's wife, Frances, stays home and
continually begs him for money, just
like Alice Kramden and Wilma
Flintstone, while Earl's friend, Roy,
is exactly like Ed Norton, tall and
skinny, and always cajoling his best
buddy.
Unlike real dinosaurs, these dinosaurs behave and dress like modern
humans. They live in houses with
modern conveniences, have-jobs, and
their problems parallel human ones.
ReVÎeW
Pushing trees down for a living,
Earl works for a company that develops land for dinosaur housing. Earl,
like most every other worker in
America, cannot seem to meet the
financial demands of the family
In a recent show, Earl reminisces
about life before family, where he
would have eaten his children and not
worried about finances and responsibilities.
Earl decides to go back to his past,
the forest During the program, Earl
leaves his home for the safety of the
forest, where his ancestors lived, but
cannot survive without "cooked"
meals and a soft bed. These strong
reptiles cannot survive in the wilderness; civilization has overcome them.
The final scene leaves us with a
false picture. Earl, with his newlyhatched son, watches cavemen outside his window. The cavemen,
clothed in animal skins, try to roll a
round object (possibly thefirstwheel?)
while the remains of a fire sputters
next to them.
To the viewer, these "beings" are

not as ci vilized as the dinosaurs. Furthermore, it is prehistorically preposterous to portray dinosaurs and cavemen existing during the same time
period.
Instead of personifying the animals, the program should depictdinosaurs as they really lived. If the networks did that, a chance might exist
that they could actually present an
"educational" show; that would be
something against their grain.
'Dinosaurs' uses clever costuming, developed by the son of the late
Jim Henson, but the plots are inconsistent and sometimes overly corny.
The premiere segment, for instance, was unbearably bad, however,
a show that has Earl looking eagerly

'Dinosaurs' deserves instant mass

After roaming the planet for 140 million years, dinosaurs ended their
reign on the planet 65 million years ago. Theories on the sudden
extinction of the many species of animals bring heated debate within the
scientific community.
According to scientists, the species that survive today represent just
one percent of the life forms that have lived on Earth. The history of life
on the planet is punctuated with episodes of mass extinction followed by
periods of wild diversity among those species surviving.
Various theories have been put forth by scientists to explain these
events and multiple factors may contribute to any or all mass extinctions.
All mass-extinction theories point to changes in the Earth's environment
as the direct cause.
Here are some of those theories:
• Meteorites: If a huge meteorite struck the planet, it could cause
high winds, 2,000 degree rock vapor and an enormous cloud of dust
Some of the expected after-affects would include fires, dust-darkened
sky, acid rain and a greenhouse e ffect
If the meteorite was hurled into the ocean, the resulting tsunamis
would cause upwelling of cold, oxygen-poor water. This might account
for the extinction of marine animals.
The meteorite theory is often used to explain the demise of the
dinosaurs. Samples of iridium, a metal rare on Earth but common in
meteors, have been taken from three distinct sites-New Zealand, Denmark and Spain-that were enriched with soot, which may indicate that
global fires resulted from the i mpact
• Massive volcanism: Particles ejected into the air during eruptions
would block sunlight« initiating a period of cooling.
This theory is applied to dinosaur extinction by some researchers who
note that the die-off started at least two million years before the end of
the Cretaceous period and may have continued well beyond it.
• Continental drift: As land masses are moved by plate tectonics, the
planet may undergo radical climatic changes.
This may be the best explanation for the disappearance of 96 percent
of all species at the close of the Permian Era-easily the most severe
extinction of all time.
While terrestrial life was just beginning to flourish during the
Permian, tectonic forces joined all of the planet's continents into a single
colossal land mass. This caused a vast reduction in shallow offshore
habitats.
Pangea, as the supercontinent is known, extended from pole to pole,
which would bring about a series of ice ages. Tropical seas would have
chilled and the climate on land would have been dry and frigid.
• Competition: Some mass extinctions appear to have been accelerated by the development or expansion of newer species. This may have
been related to changing sea levels creating or obliterating land bridges
and thus affecting the emigration of animals.
The first great extinctions are generally explained with this theory.
Primordial slime, for example, was unable to tolerate the oxygen
produced by the up-and-coming stromatolites. The stromatolites, in
turn, became the most successful life form on Earth, filling shallow
warm oceans and eventually altering the chemistry of the seas and
atmosphere.
This allowed animals to develop, which fed on the stromatolites and
brought their demise except in the most remote and protected areas.
Competition may also have played a role in the dinosaurs' last stand.
Scientists find evidence that small, primitive mammals feeding in great
numbers on flowering plants may have significantly reduced the food
supply for herbivorous dinosaurs.
The most recent episode of mass extinction can clearly be attributed
to competition. It started about 11,000 years ago and has accelerated
toward the present

Dinamation's scientists are able to
add layers of muscle and skin to dinosaur skeletal information. They take
moving x-rays of living animals to
see how bones reflect muscles.
Callison suspects that many prehistoric animals were not of the traditional brown or green hues the public
has grown to accept. He theorizes that
they were brightly colored, using hues
like birds or animals of today.
"We're attempting to show dinosaurs as i nteresting c reatures,"
Callison says. ' There were so many
sizes and shapes of dinosaurs that we
feel they had diversity in color as
weU."
Callison indicates that the large
eyes and optic nerves of many dinosaurs suggests that they were sensitive
to color. They may have used color
for mating purposes or for natural
camouflage.
Since it is currently impossible to
determine which hues the dinosaurs
had, Dinamation's scientists and artists can only guess on their colors.
The sounds which the dinosaurs
emitted are also a matter of speculation for the Dinamation team.
"We will never know what sort of
vocal organs a dinosaur had, but v/e
do know something about the size and
shape of various resonating chambers," Callison says.
For the Tyrannosaurus rex at the
Wild Animal Park, Dinamation used
the vocalizations of birds and other
reptiles related to the long extinct
animal and tried to create a "biologically feasible" voice. The result is a
terrifying low-frequency roar.
ecause of the speculation involved in creating dinosaur
colors and sounds, some museums refuse to display Dinamation

also points out that Dinamation's
speculations are built upon a solid
scientific foundation and not pure
guesswork.
Even though the American Museum won't utilize the colorful robot-

When Arnold Schwarzenegger
sayshe'llbeback, you'dbetter believe
it
He certainly made his promise
come true in the much publicized,
100-million dollar sequel to 'Termi-*
nator.' What 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' may make up for in more'
complicated special effects than its*
predecessor, it certainly loses in itijg
story, however.
Linda Hamilton is back as Sarahjj
Connor. When we left her before, she*
was pregnant and escaping i ntoj
Mexico to try and avoid the oncoming^,
nuclear holocaust. But 12 years later,i
she's incarcerated in a top security»
mental facility and her son John is in
a foster home.
Everything changes when an updated terminator shows up to finally,
do away with John Connor, the man
who will eventually lead the resistance*
against the computer controlled world]
of the future.
Following in this terminator's"
f ootsteps is none other than
Schwarzenegger, this time playing a5
good guy sent by John into the past to
protect himself and his mother from;
this new threat.
Eddie Furlong plays the 12-year-:
old John who has a hard time grasping
all of this when Arnie saves him the
first time from the indestructible new
terminator, made from liquid metal;
who can adapt and change his form to*
fit any situation.
The story follows John, Sarah and
Arnie as they try to alter the course of
future world events and kill off the
new terminator, a T-1000 model
played by Robert Patrick.
The real star of this picture isn't
Arnie, but the special effects. Patrick's
terminator character is defined by the
constantly changing forms he adopts.
But Schwarzenegger needs a worthy opponent or it really isn't an interesting movie, is it? He definitely
has his hands full with this enemy
and, as usual, he plays it very
straightforward.
'Terminator 2 ' will keep you on
the edge of your seat and make you
laugh, but in final analysis, die first

of special effects can improve upon.

�Dead Again' misses plot pieces
but comes alive with wit, beauty
Has Hollywood finally accepted the karmic teachings
¡of Shirley MacLaine?
I Well, not exacdy. But Brit Kenneth Branagh has taken
his own particular slant on the theory of reincarnation in
Dead Again.'
| Maybe you'll remember Branagh from his critically
^acclaimed 4Henry V' a few years ago. Following in the
¡footsteps of Laurence Olivier, he starred in and directed
ithat picture, establishing himself as a talent of note in this
pcountry.
Branagh again has taken on directing and acting duties
in 'Dead Again' along with wife Emma Thompson in this
tale of a couple whose love survives death and four
decades. Thompson plays a woman who has amnesia and
Branagh is Los Angeles private detective Mike Church,
who has agreed to help find out who she is.
When he puts her picture in the paper, a strange man
named Madson (Dereck Jacobi) appears and hypnotizes
Grace (as Mike has named her), taking her back to 1948.
She recalls in vivid detail the romance of Roman and
Margaret Strauss, also played by Branagh and Thompson.
(These sequences are filmed in black and white).
It turns out that composer Roman was executed for the
murder of his pianist wife Margaret, who was stabbed in
the throat by gold-plated scissors.
At first, Mike is reluctant to believe in the idea of past
lives and karmic accountability, until he talks to a former
psychiatrist, played by Robin Williams.
WENDY WILLIAMS

FILM
CRITIC
The story meanders between
the past and the
present, revealing
more and more
about the people
involved and how
they have all
gathered together
in the present to
relive the events
and make retribution for the past.
Believe it or not, there is a great deal of humor in this
story. It would seem that Branagh has his tongue firmly in
his cheek. While he is telling his story, you can sense a
glimmer of mischievousness behind the scenes. He did,
after all, cast one of the funniest comics of our day in a
small, but crucial role.
Even with this sly humor and a hugely talented cast,
Branagh must still contend with a complicated story that
leaves out a few important pieces to the puzzle.
Despite that, i t's a beautiful film to watch. Black and
white photography is a lost art these days whose glory
Branagh gamely revives here. And despite the holes in the
story, the film is engaging to watch.
Even if Branagh and Hollywood aren't totally sold on
the theory of reincarnation, 'Dead Again' gives us all a Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson dance through a complicated storyline in 'Dead
Again.'

"This film not only introduces

Throughout bothfilmsSarah battles
robotic assassins sent from the future
to change history. The first movie
brought Arnold Schwarzenegger (he
with the body fantastic) as the
unstoppable killing machine sent to
destroy her.
The second adventure has Sarah
teamed up with Schwarzenegger to
thwart the efforts of an especially
nasty terminator (Patrick Harris) to
destroy her son (Edward Furlong).
Looking at the metamorphoses of
Sarah in the two movies we see the
grand adaptability of women. She
transmogrifies from a lowly greasepit
waitress to a terminatress. Sarah actually becomes a better killing machine in the second movie than Arnold
the mezomorph himself.
The social consciousness of Sarah
is the heart and soul of T2.* Driven
by the certainty of global nuclear destruction, she will do anything to preserve the world for her children. She
has become a necessary animal to
stop the grim future of the human
race. Benign beauty has become a
killing beast.

Don't cry for Moonlight's 'Evita, it's good
DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
D o n ' t cry for Evita — enjoy it.
Pack a picnic basket or purchase a
bucket of chicken, grab two beach
chairs, include a warm blanket, and
you are ready for a production of
'Evita' at the outdoor Moonlight
Amphitheatre in V ista.
The atmosphere at the Moonlight
is warm, cozy and friendly. While
watching the production, you can
enjoy the stars, both on stage and in
the sky.
'Evita' portrays the life of Eva
Duarte from the age of.fifteen to her
climb up the social ladder (by sleeping with men of higher and higher
positions), to her status as wife of
dictator Juan Peron, tcrher death from
cancer at a ge 3 3.
Alicia Irving performs the role of
Eva, referred to as Evita in the height
of her success. A t t he b eginning o f t he
performance, one wonders whether
she can handle the dancing and the
singing, but Irving proves herself
when she sings "Don't Cry for me
Argentina." Irving masters the older
Evita much better than the younger,
more energetic E va.
CheGueverra,played by Jim Graft,
becomes the narrator and the judge
Alicia Irving is Eva Peron in the Moonlight Amphitheatre's production of 'Evita.' The show runs through Sept. 9.
for "Evita." C he's actions are threatening because of his opposition to the
tyrannical ruling of Peron. However,
he is also the objective bystander who
helps the audience see both the good
of Evita and the evil of Juan Peron.
The most striking, electrifying
scene is when Evita convinces the
unions to support her husband, Peron,
as president The stage, aglow with
torches and voices, contains splashes
of colors and pictures supporting the
unions. The song, " A New Argentina," is a strong militaristic example
of the unions' solidarity and support
of Peron. The scene portrays the
strength and love Evita possesses for
and from her people.
Another scene, much lighter than
the union scene, is with the "high
society people," who strongly disapprove of Evitabeing married to Peron.
They glide on stage in one large, tightly
joined group, all wearing black and
white, singing their displeasure and
dislike for Evita. Their gestures and
faces are hilarious, and, at the end,
they must strip off their clothes and
jewels and mingle with the peasants
of Argentinabecause ofEvita's orders.
The "group" provides the play with
light humor, inviting the audience to
enjoy it.
One great addition to this play is
the still pictures of Evita, Argentina,
and Peron, that are provided on each
side of the stage, intentionally coinciding with each scene in the play.
Evita runs through Sept. 9; all
shows are at 8 p.m. The Moonlight
Amphitheatre is located in Brengle
Terrace Park in Vista.
With only $6 for lawn seats and
$10-$ 12 for the permanent seating,
this production is well worth a viewing.

where more than three-fourths of the
world's active volcanoes are located.
In August of last year, the "Ring of
Fire" crew started filming geologists
monitoring the activity of Mount S t
Helens. Several weeks later, without
warning, there was an explosion. Ash
and steam shot 25,000 feet into the
sky.
As one geologist commented, "It
could ruin your whole day."
Theclosecalls whilefilming4<Ring
of Fire" were all in a day's work for
the dedicated film crews, but they
resulted in some of the most extraordinary volcano sequences ever filmed.
Spectacular volcanic eruptions
show the process that both enriches
and destroys the lives of those living
there.
Including Mount St. Helens, the
film shows footage of Navidad in
Chile, Sakurajima in Japan and Mount
Merapi in Indonesia.
Varied, scenes of humanity from
around the Ring of Fire show the
many ways the human spirit triumphs
when confronted with imminent catastrophe - from one culture's practice of volcanic worship to a highly
technological society's development
of seismic prediction methods.
"Part of the human condition is to
live constantly poised between life
and death, and there's no more direct
evidence for that than the way these
cultures have adapted to life on the
Rim,'' Kirsch said.
As plumes of ash explode into the
sky, viewers will witness the birth of
a new volcano in southern Chile.
The film takes audiences to the
annual evacuation drill held on the
J apanese volcanic i sland of
Sakurajima, on the anniversary of the
eruption of 1914. This volcano is still
active, menacing the 7,000 people of
Sakurajima with frequent ashfalls and
the danger of more serious eruptions.
Other scenes transport viewers to
the edge of the fiery lava lake in
Hawaii and to Tokyo and San Francisco, where the risk of earthquakes
profoundly impacts life.
Admission is $5,50 for adults, $4
forseniorcitizensand$3 forchildren;
tickets include entrance into all shows
and the Science Center, where more
than 60 hands-on exhibits allow for
exploration of the principles of science.

Chancellor recommends
speed-up of development
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
A speed-up in the development of
Cal State San Marcos' new campus
may provide an avenue to limit enrollment at the overcrowded, budgetstricken San Diego State University,
said the CSU's new chief.
"What I would like to do is accelerate the development," CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz told reporters
Thursday. "Because i t's new, because
its needs are so g reat... this (campus)
has to be a priority for the state."
M unitz, w ho w as v isiting
CSUSM's permanent campus construction site off Twin Oaks Valley
Road, said he would like to accelerate
the project to provide faster relief for
SDSU.
As a result of $19.8 million in
budget cuts to SDSU, the campus cut
662classes this fall. Thecutsprompted
SDSU to "seriously downsize" the
enrollment at its North County campus facility, located at the current
CSUSM campus.
The 10 percent budget cuts have
moved SDSU President Thomas Day
to seek methods to reduce his college's
population to balance with the decreased faculty and offerings at the
southern campus.
'What I would like to do is accelerate
the development. Because it's new,
because its needs are so great... this
campus has to be a priorityforthe state.'
B ARRY M UNITZ/CSU C HANCELLOR
Munitz agreed with Day that additional admissions controls are necessary to lower enrollment at SDSU.
With over32,000students, SDSU has
an enrollment I2percent to ISpercent
higher than it can properly handle.
The problems facing SDSU are
shared by 18 of the CSU systems 19
other campuses. According to Munitz,
half of allCSUcampuses have already
closed enrollment for the spring semester. He said he expects most colleges to close fall 1992 enrollment
early as well.
Munitz said he wanted to see if the
CSUSM campus "is in sound enough
shape" to carry a SDSU spill-over. In
November, Munitz plans on meeting
with Day and CSUSM President Bill
Stacy to consider the impact of SDSU
students on the infant campus.
"We clearly cannot make a magnificent and major shift in a 12 month
period," Munitz said.
He indicated that the increased
SDSU enrollment at CSUSM would
not curtail the transfer Of students
from community colleges and high
schools.
Even without the enrollment impaction at SDSU, Munitz stated that a
four-year C SU campus in North
County is needed.
"The key question for us will be,
how fast can the state of California
afford to build buildings?" added
Stacy. "The students are here - demand
is here. I t's j ust how fast can we house
them."

Business dean search extended
to attract minorities and women
J OHATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Cal State San Marcos has r eopened a search to find a permanent
College of Business Administration
Dean citing the lack of enthusiasm
with the original candidates and no
minority representatives.
Richard Millman, Academic Vice
President, announced to the college
community in July that he has extended the search until Oct. 15.
"None of the final candidates has
unanimous support of all the constituents," Millman said. He cited the
precedent of other administrative positions being filled by a unanimous
decision from the CSUSM community.
"While there were three candidates
brought forward who were 'acceptable* by the committee, there were
reservations about each of them by
either the committee or me," Millman
wrote in a letter to the faculty.
"When I looked at the pool of
candidates, there were very few minorities and no women," he said.
Millman approximated that only three
of four were minorities.
"For faculty positions, it is important for us to have a diverse pool of
applicants," Millman's letter stated.
"For senior administrative positions,
it is mandatory."
A portion of an advertisement for
the positions states, "Candidates
should have acommitment to cultural
diversity, equal opportunity and affirmative action."
Currently, CSUSM surpasses both
CSU and nationwide ratiosof minority
faculty members.
I n the first search, a Search Committee sorted approximately 40 applicants. A long process then starts as
applicants are prioritized and possible candidates are interviewed.
Millman makes the recommendation
to CSUSM BiU Stacy on the final
decision of who to hire.
Millman could make no comment
on how the search is proceeding since
the closing date is next month. He did
say he would like the procedures to
move quickly, but that depends on
how many applications are received.
Millman's goal is to have a new
dean by the beginning of the year.
" We're shooting for Jan. 1 to get a
new dean hired," he said.
The final three candidates have
been asked if they would like to
continue. The acting dean, Bernard
Hinton, is one of the three candidates.
"There is no question in my mind
that whoever the new dean is, we will
have a highly qualified individual,"
Millman said.

unsure where money to speed up development of t he $ 650 m illion
campus will be found. He said that
shortfalls in the CSU operations budget will have no effect on the current
construction.
Funding for campus construction
is attained through state bond issues.
L ast N ovember v oters r ejected
Proposition 143, a $450 million bond
issue which would have provided
funds for construction and improvements in the state's system of higher
education.
"Losing that last bond issue was a
major blow for this campus," said
Munitz.
Proposition 143 would have funneled $10 million to CSUSM for the
acquisition of library books and furniture for the permanent campus.
Munitz said another bond issue
supported by Senators Tom Hayden
and Gary Hart will be placed before
the voters in June. "If the bonds don't
pass, we c an't continue," said Munitz.
In the meantime, Munitz pledged
to fight for a greater share of state
money in budget discussions to be
held later this year.
"Our goal will be, whatever the pie
is, to get a larger slice of it for higher
education and CSU," he said.

wrote A.S. President Jose Chapman
in a statement to Pioneer.
Last semester, students narrowly
passed a measure to assess a $15 A.S.
membership fee, but without the enabling measure the new governing
body was not able to collect the allowance.
In order to bring financial solvency
to the newly formed A.S., the Council
appealed to theUniversity Foundation
f or help. The Foundation responded
with a loan of $12,920 to be repaid
over the next three semesters.
Without the passing of theenabling
measure on October'sballot, the A.S.
will be hard-pressed to repay the loan
on schedule.
"The A.S. needs a true basis of
support," said Vice President of StudentServicesErnestZomalt. "Itneeds
a steady revenue from the student
body."
Zomalt said if the measure does
not pass, the A.S. will be forced to
reassess its scale of activities. He said
the organization would not have the
ability to support clubs, organizations
and student-run publications. The A.S.
budget would need to be reduced,
thereby decreasing its activities in
campus and inter-collegiate events.
If the enabling measure fails in the
fall election, Zomalt said the issue
will once again be placed before the
students.
"If spring brings a 'no* vote, we'll
have to see if students are supportive
of a governmental structure," he said.
Even though the fee measure itself
passed last semester, Zomalt said it
was the judgement of the Council to
reintroduce the act to the students.
"These are full disclosure elections,"
he said.
Zomalt said the $15 fee on the
upcoming ballot is a "fair amount"
that should be sufficient to support
the present governmental structure.
Monies garnered from the membership fee should finance the spring
semester's budget as well as give the
A.S. amode to repay the Foundation's
loan.
A third ballot measure would allow
the A.S. to establish andaward student
government scholarship stipends,
grants-in-aid and other "remunerations for the A.S. officers and council
members for services rendered to the
A.S."
In addition to the fee measures,
students will have the opportunity to
elect three positions in the A.S.
Council which became open after
members left their posts.
Post-BaccalaureateRepresentative
at Large, David Hammond and College of Education Representative,
Heliana Ramirez, left openings when
they decided to attend other universities. Tracy Barfthill, the undergraduate representative at large vacated her position due to time commitments.
Even though the A.S. has the constitutional authority to appoint those
positions, it elected to leave the d ecision to the student populace on the
upcoming ballot.
"There's a lot of time and energy
used to put together an election," said
Z omalt "Since we already have one*
coming, the A.S. thought it best to
open the decision to the students."
Zomalt said Student Services is
hoping to do a candidate forum after
hopefuls apply to the position.
Students interested in A.S. candidacy can pick up applications in the
Student Services Office in Building
125. New and continuing students are
encouraged to apply. Deadline is 5
p.m. S ept 23.
In the meantime, Chapman stresses
the need to impose and collect student
fees.
"Rememberthis," wrote Chapman,
"nine people and a loan do not a
campus Associated Students make."

Site chosen in Ventura for
newest Cai State campus
LONG BEACH - Cal State San
Marcos won't be the new kid on
the block for much longer, now
that the GSU Board of Trustees
voted on a site for a new campus.
CSU's21stcampuswillbebuilt
in a Ventura County lemon grove,
the320-acre Chaffee/Duntley site,
and begin classes by the later part
of this decade as a two-year university.
With a 14-1 vote, the CSU
trustees capped a five-year search
by approving the site between
Camarillo and Oxnard next to a
California Youth Authority prison,
said CSU spokesperson Colleen
Bentley-Adler.
The selected site will now be
forwarded to the state Public Woiks
Board for approval and acquisition
of the property.
The land must be purchased
within the $6 million budget that
remains after spending $1 million
on an environmental study to
evaluate available sites.
"We'veexpendedalot of effort,
time and a lot of money on this
site," said Trustee Anthony M. Viti,
chairman of the site selection
committee.
The two other sites considered
include the Donlon site, 310 acres
east of Oxnard, and the Sudden
Ranch site, 250 acres in east
Ventura. The chosen property is
owned by Sakioka Farms and
Mosheni Ranchers.
The initial phase of construction would be a two-year campus
to serve 2,000juniors, seniors and
graduate students by the end of the
century, Bentley-Adler said. Cal
State San Marcos currently operates with the same organization.
Conversion to a 15,000-student
full-service university would occur
between 2010-20.

Library gets $2.2 million
for book acquisition plan
Worries of how to gain funds to fill
Cal State San Marcos' future library
with books were put at ease this
summer when college officials successfully rallied for support in Sacramento.
Now the CSUSM library is faced
with a new dilemma - where to store
thousands of boxes of books until the
new facility is ready in 1992.
With thefailureof Proposition 143
last spring, officials at CSUSM found
themselves with a $2.2 million
shortfall for the acquisition of books
to fill the permanent campus* library.
To help alleviate pressures created
by the failed proposition, presidents
from each of CSU's 20 campuses
appealed to the Chancellor's Office
in spring to save important lost projects
that were in dangerofbeing eliminated
due to lack of funds.
The President's Council listed top
priority projects for each campus. The
chancellor then sought funding for
the projects from the state legislature.
One of CSUSM's top priority
projects was the second half of the
library book acquisition plan.
After approval of the projects from
acting chancellor Ellis McCune, requests were placed before the state
legislature in June.
CSUSM Executive Vice President
Richard Rush went to Sacramento
rf§ IMPROVE
'We listed several priorities. This is the
one item we got. We didn't get approval
for the rest of the constructionrelated items, You can't have a great
university without a great library'
RICHARD RUSH/EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
during the legislature's review of the
requests in case questions arose. He
left with the go-ahead for $2.216 million in library funds.
"We listed several priorities," said
Rush. "This is the one item we got.
We didn't get approval for the rest of
the construction-related items."
Last year, $2.1 million came in
October for the first half of the book
acquisition project. With the second
allotment of funds, CSUSM should
be able to build a sizeable core collection for the new campus.
"It may sound like a large figure,
but it isn't in terms of 'starting an
opening day collection," said Marion
Reid, library director.
According to Reid, the average
cost for a domestic tide is $46 per
book. Reference books, science and
art titles usually run more.
After the permanent campus off
Twin Oaks Valley Road opens in fall,
Reid said an 80,000-book collection

will be housed in Craven Hall until
the permanent library can be built
The Library Building, when completed, will have 450,000 square feet
and hold as many as two m illion books.
Reid said the library will be larger
than those at UCSD and SDSU.
At the end of June, Reid said
CSUSM had already acquired 43,000
titles.
"We don't have a place to put them
on campus," said Reid.
Currently, many of the books are
being stored in Eckerts Storage until a
more suitable location can be found.
Reid said she is looking for some way
to move the library operations before
Craven Hall opens.
The library has already expanded
its holding power by shelving books
on the east end of the library where
periodicals were held last semester.
Thousands more are shelved in a room
adjacent to the Center for the Study of
Books in Spanish for Children and
Adolescents.
Thelibrary'sstaff continually sorts
through the boxes of books to make as
many available to students as possible,
but the process is a tedious one.
During the summer, local high
school students were enlisted to help
unpack books and check for numbers.
Each book must be logged on the
library's computer system. Scanning
strips are also being placed on each
book in preparation for the upcoming
automated system.
Reid said the library does not plan
on being up and running in Craven
Hall if the campus opens next fall.
Before that can occur, shelving must
be seismically safe, security systems
need installing and computer systems
must be running.
Rush said the library plans received
good support in Sacramento.
"You can't have a great univcrsit>
without a great library," he said.
�University prides itself on
abundance of cultural events
As a member of Pioneer, I frequently hear two words.
One phrase is "money" - also
sometimes referred to as a budget.
This is because the state of California
and the national has a debt much
larger than my Master Card bill. Fortunately, Cal State San Marcos hasn't
felt the shock waves of the budget
problems as other campus have.
The other term heard around campus is "culture."
With global awareness and cultural diversity running rampant in our
society, I 'm not surprised of the many
comments I come across. And comparing these two words, I prefer the
latter.
This week is a perfect week to get
a little culture.
In celebration of Mexico!s independence from Spain, CSUSM is
hosting a series of noon-time concerts
this week. The concerts are a followup to the Fiestas Patrias celebration
that the university participated in over
the weekend.
If you missed yesterday's performance, Miguel Lopez will play the
Vera Cruz harp today. Mosaico performs Wednesday and Es O Es, a 10
piece Latin j azz band is going to make
a great finale to the week on Thursday.
Each performance is held in the
Student Lounge at noon.
Two upcoming cultural events will
be just as exciting.
A Javanese/Balinese gam elan ensemble will perform in the Student
Lounge at noon on S ept 30. I recently
have been introduced to this music
and find it very fascinating.
Mark your calendars for O ct 27.
The university will host the First

It will held here on campus from
11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Three pre-festival concerts are also

in the Student Lounge.

In my last column, I wrote about
the Boxer Rebellion day held over the
summer for the Faculty and Staff.
One person was identified incorrectly.
My excuse was the purpose of the
theme day itself.
Margaret Rail wore a cardboard
box that day, not Marsha Woolf.
Under deadline pressure, I had forgotten her name. At the time, I felt I
was being a responsible journalist by
checking where her office is (I remembered that) with a detailed map
of the moved office?. However, Margaret moved along with everyone else
over the summer and no longer worked
where she did the previous semester.
The theme day was to keep everyone sane while the university was
rearranged, but it sure confused this
writer.
My apologizes to Margaret and
Marsha for the mix up and a big sorry
to Bob Rail, who came up with the
box idea.
CSU
campuses ranked top in gifts
Five California State University
campuses are among the top 10 of
public comprehensive universities
nationwide in total amount of private
gifts received in 1990.
Among 151 universities surveyed,
four CSU campuses led the nation:
San Diego StateUniversity with $10.8
million; CSU Long Beach with $ 10.6
million; Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
with $10.4 million; and CSU Fullerton with $7.9 million. San Jose State
University ranked eighth with $5.2
million.
Cal State San Marcos brought in
$498,712 in total gifts. $170,514 is
restricted funds and is to be used for
specific purposes such as scholarships,
grants or endowments. $129,500 was
in equipment. The remaining sum of
$198,698 is unrestricted.
If the total gifts of all CSU campuses were combined, CSU would

MUST HAVE STUDENT I.D. TO VOTE
�P IONEER /TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1991
Ballot measure
would fortify
student voice
A funny thing happened last semester on the way to the
voting booths.
Students at Cal State San Marcos decided it was time for the
formation of an Associated Students and the establishment of
a $ 15 membership fee, but felt the student government shouldn' t
be able to collect its newly approved fee.
The downfall of the measure allowing the A.S. to collect
fees is probably due to
s emantics.
The wording
for the measure came
directly out
of T itle 5
(that governmental
d ocument
STAFF EDITORIAL
which dietates how university student governments are supposed to
operate).
Anybody who has ever read a political document knows
that governmentalese is a difficult and sometimes impossible
language to decipher.
All the measure asked was that students give their governing body permission to collect fees voted in by the students.
The voting populace could have voted a 10-cent fee, but
without the enabling measure the effort would have been for
naught
But students were intimidated by the measures ambiguous
phraseology. Some thought it would have given the A.S. the
power to impose student fees at a whim. Others thought that
voting in a fee of $15 was good enough.
Not so.
The enabling measure is the metaphorical donkey before
the cart. The student fee measure is the cart itself. If any
distance is to be gained, both must be approved.
On Oct. 7 and 8, students once again have the opportunity
to give the A.S. a financial vehicle. Since the A.S. is now
operating on borrowed money, a steady source of income
through student fees is essential.
Without student fees, club formation will be hindered,
campus events will be limited and student representation will
be squelched.
Since we don't have the luxury of enjoying a fully stocked
campus, the least we can give ourselves is a financially sound
student voice.
The recession has pinched all of our wallets, but we cannot
let it pinch our priorities as well. We owe it to ourselves and
future students to vote "yes" for both Measure A and Measure
B on next month's ballot.
If "no" wins in the vote then the entire distance travelled by
the students to gain a voice will be lost.
OUR V IEWS
R acial sensitivity is essential
At one time I saw people as butterflies. It was a naively
metaphorical way at looking at things, but with my simple
association I could equate each person's differences with a
representation of unique beauty.
My simple simile could not have been more inconect.
It began at my place of employment several weeks ago when
a working associate of mine was accosted by a customer. My
friend was a butterfly of a different color. Some would call him
"African American" while others of politically correct mindsets
might refer to him as a "Person of Color."
To the malicious customer, he was a "nigger."
The word was spoken brazenly and, when combined with
nasty expletives, made a terrible hiss across the storefront.
I felt immediate anger, pain and shame that one human being
could treat another of equal mind and equal soul with such
unequivocal lack of compassion.
Yet, I could not even begin to imagine the intensity of pain my
friend felt as words turned to a poison which shriveled up his
composure and unleashed years of hidden anguish.
His only intent was on the destruction of his tormentor.
I attempted to hold my friend back as I tried to rationalize the
events at hand, but I honestly had never seen such a voracious
verbal assault.
It was as if I had been in a cocoon, only to break out and find
that the world was not a place of butterflies, but of dragonflies.
Never in my 30 years had I heard first-hand one human call
another such a terrible thing.
I was angry at the white trash who uttered those words and
angrier still at the pain he inflicted, but most of all I was angry at
myself for being part of a society that for years had kept my
middle-class eyes from seeing it all along.

As a university for the

Cai State San

forged a commitment to racial sensitivity
with its Mission Statement. T his
commitment must not be taken lightly.
In the beginning the statement itself seemed to me to reek of
overblown Politically Correct rhetoric.
It appeared that the university was just tossing another turnip
on the bandwagon as it passed through. I honestly didn't see the
need to formally state an understanding of others that should be
humanly inherent.
With the event at my workplace last month, I realized that the
only humanly inherent consistency is inconsideration.
We are all inconsiderate whenever we flippantly toss off a
racial joke or propagate a stereotype. We are all inconsiderate
when we believe that the person sitting next to us is inferior in any
way due to race, sex or religion. Mostly, we are all inconsiderate
when we don't educate those around us that all people are created
equal.
Without global awareness in education, there is little hope of
attaining a society where equality and not prejudice is paramount.
Who knows, with education, maybe even the ugly American
that confronted my friend can see the world as a place of
butterflies.

Quite frankly, most of us students who attended Wednesday's lecture by Vilas Research
Professor Ihab Hassan were there out of respect
for our professors. They were excited and so our
interest was piqued. But we were iritimidated.
Most of us didn't expect a lecture with a title
like 'Aspects of Mijlticulturalism and Literary
Theory' to be even marginally comprehensible,
much less to be something which would cause a
ripple of discussions to eddy around the shores
of our learning community.
We were surprised and delighted and our
perspectives were enlarged by this warmly personable man.
Hermeneutics, Hassan tells us, is the science
of interpretation, of understanding between cultures.
In an era pf ever-expanding global communications and economic interdependence, it is
crucial for society as a whole to develop tolerance for ideologies a nd cultural mores which
differ from our own. Hermeneutics is the grease
between these wheels.
Paradoxically, while the world is engaged in
a process of economic intermarriage, in many
areas, we are also in the process of redefining
allegiances to our ethnicity. The Eastern block
countries were Hassan's obvious example of^
these dual processes of Globalization and Retribution.
But, we at Cal State San Marcos, as a community committed to cultural diversity can also
be included in this paradigm. The big question
Hassan addresses is this: How can we make
these transitions smoothly?
Hassan beheves that crucial to these discussions is the question of ideological differences.
He says that we can take three approaches to
differences:
1. To preserve them.
2. To overcome them.
3. To negotiate them away.
It is then, the province of hermeneutics to
define these differences and to decide how to
approach them globally.
Professor Hassan quoted a passage from an
essay by Jun'ichiro Tanazaki, In Praise of
Shadows, in which the author laments the passage of traditional Japanese values, while he
recognizes the painful inevitability of progress.
The essay makes the point that, while traditional values might have to give way in many
areas, in literature and the arts they may possibly be preserved (Dr. Mendoza's students were
smugly relieved they had read Tanazaki).
So, how are we as individuals to profit from
the visit of £rofessor Hassan? How are we to
manage our own multicultural identity here at
CSUSM? Our Mission Statement is clear. We
cannot duck these issues.
Hassan believes that some aspects of literary
theory can be useful in this context. He suggests
that, although at its most useless, literary theory
is nothing more than a "self-delighting game of
the mind." At its best it is "a process of interrogation — a sustained, systematic way of
questioning, a way of avoiding dogma."
According to Hassan, avoiding dogma is the
key to avoiding conflict. He developed this idea
of philosophical pragmatism further, but ended
by countering with the idea that man cannot live
by questioning alone. Even as we guard against
the formation of dogma, we need our roots as
sources of "spiritual food."
Tanazaki tells u s,".;. that there might still be
somewhere, possibly in literature or the arts,
where something could be saved."
It seems incredibly timely to be on the eve of
the first International Multicultural Festival
staged by our university. It will give us all a
chance to see cultural hermeneutics at work.

ANNE FRANK
Angry student recounts registration woes
I am a student at Cal State San Marcos and
would like to let you know how I feel about the
fall 1991 registration process.
To begin, I attended this university in the fall
1990 semester and took the spring 1991 semester off to return t o a junior college to fulfill
requirements that CSUSM said I needed (and
could get only at a junior college).
The people in the Admissions Office told me
that I would not have to reapply and that I would
receive registration materials for fall 1991 automatically and in plenty of time. I did not receive
any registration information from CSUSM until
three weeks before the semester started.
I had been calling since May to make sure I
would not be forgotten and was always told that,
"something would be in the mail soon." Again,
nothing came until three weeks before school
started.
During these last few weeks I again called
and an admissions representative said that the
CSUSMadministration did not think that people
in my situation would be returning because of
Desert Storm, etc. Therefore, sending out letters
would be a waste of money.
I just wish that I would have received this
answer in the first place instead of being lied to
all along.
They also told me that I would be in the last
group to register. This meant that the new students registered before me. I was told that this
would not happen. By the time I registered three

out of four class choices were closed.
I can understand classes being closed, but I
cannot comprehend why I was told that I would
enroll in plenty of time and would not have
trouble getting the classes I needed. Here I was,
a continuing student, registering after the new
students.
I realize that budget cuts have made operations strained for the CSU system, but I think
that fairness in registration practices should not
be sacrificed!
In the future, I hope that students in my
situation will not be the last people to register
nor have to wait until practically the last day to
enroll. This practice is unfair and fosters animosity towards CSUSM.
This letter is submitted on behalf of the
approximately 60 students who faced the same
situation.

BUNCEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Primitive ritual becomes latest daredevil craze
M
i
I s this something I really want to do,"
asks 30-year-old Stanford Easley of San
Diego.
His hesitation is not surprising considering
his tentative perch on the edge of a balloon
basket nearly 200 feet above this secluded
Rancho Penasquitos valley. For Easley and
the two dozen other men and women waiting
their turn in the field below, this hot-air
balloon ascent is a test.
More accurately, it is the thought of the
free-fall descent that tests one's nerve, sanity
or both. This group has gathered more than an
hour before sunrise because the sport of
bungee jumping provides what many other
pastimes lack by comparison: one crystal
clear moment of truth.
For these jumpers the arrival of that
moment is signaled by pilot Rick Armstrong's
huge hand grabbing the back of their chest
harness. Gone is the swaggering bravado
most exhibited in the chill early morning air.
As they struggle to hoist their legs over the
side, of the balloon's wicker basket they are
acutely aware that pride, if nothing else, says
there is only one way down.
The crowd below counts down in unison
"five.. .four.. .three.. .two.. .one," and then hoots
and hollers its encouragement In the blink of an
eye Easley is gone, falling unrestrained, only to
bounce and swing like a rag-doll seconds later at
the end of the 50-foot-long bungee cords.
R u s s A rmstrong, a 2 7-year-old e xfirefighter who helped found Boing Bungee*
knows all too well the hesitation felt by his
nervous clients. His white-knuckle introduction
to the sport taught him a lesson he tries to impart
in his early morning briefing.
"If you think about it, it gets harder. I t's
better to get yourself pumped up and just go
up and do it," he tells his attentive audience.
Jumpers are placed in order according to
weight and begin mentally preparing themselves as the 80-foot tall balloon is inflated.
"With this, you d on't just get the adrenaline rush dumping yourself out of the basket,"
Russ explains. "Getting fitted for the harness
sometimes does it. Some people get excited
watching the balloon being inflated."
Jumpers will M l nearly 100 feet after
leaving the basket. ' The bungee cords are 50
feet long and there's another 12 feet of
rigging," says Russ. The giant rubber bands
will stretch another 20 to 35 feet before the
first rebound.
Russ claims the bungee's effect is not
harsh, but instead is more like a "rapid
deceleration" that bounces the jumper back to
about 80 percent of the original free-fall
height
"Most people claim the second free fall
gives them the biggest thrill—sort of like the
second dip of a double-dip roller coaster,
you're ready for it and you kind of know what
to expect," he says.
Far from the daredevil image the mention
of the sport evokes, Boing Bungee's jumpers
come in all shapes and sizes.
"Our oldest was 63 and he had a blast,"
Russ says. Broad weight requirements (a
minimum of 100 and a maximum of 300
pounds) mean the experience is open to
almost everyone. The company will even
waive the minimum age of 18 if the minor's
parents are present to sign and videotape the
standard release statement
The popular machismo stereotype also
holds that this sport separates the men from
the boys. From his experience, Russ believes
that, more accurately, bungee jumping
separates the men from the women. The
average morning's jump roster is filled with
nearly even numbers of both sexes and there
is a definite pattern to how each approaches
the experience.
" It's interesting," Russ says, "the women
seem to be the more aggressive jumpers, they
show more style. The guys are out there to
prove something, but the women are out there
because they really want to jump."
In fact, evidence suggests the experience
may actually be more traumatic for manly
types.
"My sister videotapes all the jumps so she
gets to see these facial expressions. She says
the terror that some guys have on their faces
is just incredible," Russ laughs.
But then this is not a recreation for the
faint of h eart Neither is it a sport where the
participants are bound by logic. Just ask 25year-old Cheryl Simon of Los Angeles who
traveled several hours in the pre-dawn
darkness with her brother to be here this
morning.
Before her jump, Simon nervously
explained her motivation. "I wanted to do this
because I 'm a crazy person. I love to scare
myself."
Back on the ground after hurling her fate
and body to the winds, Simon's weak knees
struggled to support her. Her review of the
experience highlights the sport's inherent
contradictions. "I was hatin' it the whole way
down. It was terrific.".
F o r the young men of Pentecost Island in
the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu,
'land diving' is an annual ritual that is said to
be both a test of a man's courage and a way to
ensure a plentiful yam harvest
Each spring the men of the island gather
liana vines and braid them into long cords.
Attaching the vines to their ankles, they scale
towers of up to 80 feet in height only to

�AAHHH!!!
Jumping from a balloon:
more than 'macho thing'
"Are you sure this isn't a macho thing?"
my wife asked me.
"Aw, c'mon honey. You know I 'm not the
macho type," I replied. Somewhere in our
wedding vows between the words love, honor
and cherish was the phrase 'do you promise to
give up watching or participating in baseball,
golf, boxing, football and other macho
things?'
"You know i t's for the newspaper," I
countered.
"I think you have a death wish. Where
does it say that a reporter has to jump from a
hot-air balloon tied to a rubber band?"
" It's not a rubber band. I t's a bungee
cord."
"Bungee cords hold books on bicycle racks
not people from balloons," she parried.
Of all the thrill-seeking activities I 've
attempted, bungee cording took the most
getting used to. Not only did I have to face
the very real possibility that I might die if
something wrong occurred, I had to persuade
my wife that I wasn't experiencing some kind
of premature testosterone-induced mid-life
crisis.
She finally gave her consent for the
venture when I agreed to open a life insurance
policy.

After the insurance agent drafted up a
contract which would award my wife and
upcoming child enough money to bail out the
nation's Savings and Loans companies in the
event of my accidental death, I asked the fatal
question.
"Let's say I were to die while leaping from
a hot-air balloon tied to a bungee cord. Would
that qualify as 'accidental death?'"
The insurance agent dropped the unsigned
policy in the shredder.
Nevertheless, at 4:45 on a Saturday
morning I was ready to take my leap of faith.
I 'd always heard that 'the early bird catches
the worm.' If my tether broke the adage could
be changed to 'the early bird smooshes the
worm,' or perhaps, ' It's the early worm that
gets got.'
As I watched the 80-foot balloon inflate, I

plunge head first to within inches of
the ground below.
In 1979, members of Oxford
University's Dangerous Sports Club
learned about the natives' ritual and
the sport of bungee jumping was
born. Dressed in top hats and tails,
club members took the first modern
leap of faith from San Francisco's
Golden Gate Bridge.
T wo of the sport's early enthusiasts, John and Peter Kockelman of
Palo Alto, CA, left their jobs and
opened the first commercial bungee
operation in May of 1988. They
offered customers the opportunity
to jump clandestinely off many of
the Sierra's river gorge bridges (an
activity that is highly illegal, with
stiff fines and even jail time
awaiting those who are caught).
Bungee jumping has become
popular the world over with New
Zealand rivaling the U.S. as the
hotbed of the sport. A few daredevils have also popularized the sport
in Europe where New Zealander
A J. Hackett gave them a dramatic
introduction by bungee jumping off
the Eiffel Tower several years ago.
Bungee jumping from hot-air
balloons is the latest evolution of
the sport. While a violation of FAA
regulations if done from free-flying
balloons, California boasts a
handful of legal balloon bungee
jumping operations.
Many new companies catering to
thrill-seekers are springing up
across the country every month. In
Colorado's Clear Creek county,
officials have j ust licensed a
specially constructed 140-foot
bungee jumping tower, the first of
its kind in the nation.
F o r Boing Bungee's Russ
Armstrong, the idea of jumping out
of a hot-air balloon seemed foolish.
When brother Rick suggested the
idea in November of 1990, he was
met with a less than enthusiastic
response.
"1 about slammed the door in his
face," remembers Russ, " I thought
it was the craziest thing on the face
of the earth." After a three-hour
phone call between the brothers,
some more extensive research, and
several weeks of discussion, the
family decided to pursue the idea
and Russ was elected to try it out.
But when the time came to jump
on that first weekend of testing, the
family's strapping 260-pound baby
brother couldn't bring himself to
leave the basket "I remember
thinking 'this is ridiculous. In 19
years of ballooning I 've never left a
balloon in flight,'" laughs Russ.
His second attempt a week later
was no easier. "We went out thé
next weekend and I said 4I have to
do this,"' Russ recalls. " I leaned out
and I still couldn' t go. We sat there
for 20 minutes."
Finally Russ asked his brother
for a gentle a ssist
I was screamin' all the way
down," Russ says. " I said, 'God
please catch me. Make this w ork.'"
T Trusting your life to an
industrial strength rubber band is
not something to be taken lightly.
Last month in Norway a man
plummeted 150 feet into a pool of
water when his bungee cord
snapped. Luckily he suffered no
injuries.
For Boing Bungee's Armstrong
brothers, safety is the number one
priority.
"We go overboard for safety's
sake. We looked at how other
people were doing this and then we
said,4how can we make this s afer,'"
says Russ.
He believes the many small
innovations he and his brother have
made to their balloon and equipment help make an inherently
dangerous sport a lot safer.
For starters, every piece of
equipment used — from the
smallest carabiner t o the 30,000pound crane rig used to secure the
bungee cord to the balloon's basket
— i s tested to hundreds of times the
strain each jumper will place it
under.
Four oversized bungee cords,
rated at 6,000 pounds each, are
retired regularly and the specially
modified and reinforced balloon
basket and envelope are given a
painstakingly thorough inspection
every 100 hours.
Unlike the more traditional
method of securing jumpers by their
ankles, Boing Bungee uses padded
fire department rescue chest and
seat harnesses to keep jumpers in a
seated position. Specially made
pads cover the cords and all related
hardware against accidental contact
The South Pacific islanders who
originated the sport attempt to come
within inches of the ground, but the
Armstrongs prefer to take a more
conservative approach.
"The reason we go to a minimum
of 150 feet (they usually average
170-200 feet) is f or that extra safety
margin," Russ explains.
Differences in weight decide
how many of the four cords are
used for each jumper, but more is
not necessarily better.
"Everyone jumps with at least
two cords. If we used more than
that f or a light person the shock
would be too g reat I t'd be like
hitting the end of an ordinary rope,"
says Russ.
For everyone who doubts bungee
j umping's safety, there is another
who has questions about its legality.
While the sport is illegal from
bridges and free-flying balloons,
Boing Bungee and a handful of
other companies have found a way
to o ffer this new thrill to the general
public within the bounds of Federal
Aviation Administration rules and
regulations.
"The FAA works in strange
ways," Russ says. "They have a lot
of loopholes and gray areas." The
key lies in the company's practice
of using tethered balloons.
Armstrong says that though the
FAA hasn't issued a definite
opinion on bungee jumping from
balloons, he believes i t's only a
matter of time. Russ and his brother
are working closely with other
reputable operators to demonstrate
the high levels of safety possible in
an otherwise dangerous s port

could feel the air hissing from what
remained of my machismo. The fact
that three workers of the ground
crew had casts on various limbs
didn't ease my churning stomach (I
was told that all the injuries were
incurred while handling the balloon
and not while jumping).
A guy in an arm cast strapped
me in a harness that wrapped snugly
around my chest and another that
held my upper thighs and groin in
check. I wasn't too concerned about
the chest harness, but I couldn't
stop imagining what a jolt to the
iower harness might do to my
family jewels.

After attaching the 50-foot
bungee cord to my harness with a
very sturdy metal gizmotron I
climbed into the balloon and was
ready to begin my ascent into hell.
I closed my eyes for a second
and then leaned over the side of the
balloon basket and opened them.
"Those people look like ants," I
told balloonist Rick Armstrong.
' They are ants," he replied. "We
haven't left the ground yet."
The ride up was serenely
terrifying. If not for the impending
jump, it actually might have been
fun. During the ascent, Armstrong
reiterated the final safety tips.
"Don't grab the bungee cord on
your way down. Keep your arms
out," he said. "Be sure to keep your
legs together. You don't want the
bungee cord to get in there."

My thoughts were only on what
could go wrong. What if the bungee
cord breaks? What if the cord wraps
around my neck? What if I don't
remember to keep my legs together?
I tried to erase all fear from my
mind and, when we reached an
altitude of 200 feet, I climbed
precariously onto the edge of the
b asket
While sitting on the edge of the
balloon basket listening to the
crowd count down to my jump
moment, I felt myself going through
Elizabeth Kiibler-Ross's five stages
of coping with death.
" Five..."
Denial: There is no way in hell I
was going to jump from this
balloon. Didn't somebody tell me
this was a bird-watching expedition?
• Tour..."
Anger: Why did I spend $95 to
do this! What was I thinking? Damn
that premature testosterone-induced
mid-life crisis!
"Three."
Bargaining: Maybe if I puke the
balloon guy will take me back
down.
" Two..."
Depression: I won't be able to
have an open-casket funeral.
" One..."
Acceptance: Okay, so I 'm gonna
die.
I let go of the basket and started
to fall.
The feeling was like one of those
dreams you have as a kid where you
are plunging mercilessly down a
cliff. I knew that if I hit the bottom
all life as I knew it would cease to
exist.
About halfway down the
realization of reality strikes. The
only thing visible is the rapidly
unfurling bungee cord and the
hissing sky. My arms impulsively
reached out to grab the cord, but my
mind, fresh with Armstrong's
warning, resisted the impulse.
My falling body instinctively
negotiated for position as I reached
the end of the cord. I had begun in a
sitting position, and was now
sprawled out in a supine configuration.
The first bounce came more
quickly than I had expected and I
was thankful my fillings stayed in
place. I went from plummeting to
my death to rocketing upward in a
fraction of a m oment
At this point all the fear-induced
adrenaline was coursing wildly
through my body and the excursion
became like the best roller coaster
ride ever invented with great
B5
whoop-de-doos but no track.
The upward motion was very
similar to the upward motion of an
elevator but without bodily control.
In the course of only a few seconds
my body went from upside down to
sideways to upside down and back
to right side up again.
Once cognition arrives after the
first bounce, the feeling of being a
rag doll on the end of a yo-yo string
is overpowering. There is no thrill
like being tossed around in a tug of
war between gravity and a rubber
band.
In just a few long seconds the
ride was over. Only the thrill of
eating a carne asada burrito from
Albedos can compare with the
adrenaline rush of bungee cording.
As I was being lowered to the
ground, I was painfully aware that I
did not keep my legs together
during the fall. Michael Jackson
would have been envious of my
newly expanded singing voice.
Practiced bungee jumpers are
able to do flips and twists at each
bounce but for first-time jumpers,
just being tossed around like a
Caesar salad is plenty of fun.
I 'm now collecting rubber bands
in preparation for a big jump off the
balcony but my wife can rest
assured. It isn't a macho thing.

There is a story about a young man named
Daggo Seguie who spent his life looking for the
perfect pizza. N o matter how hard he looked, the
unfortunate Daggo could neverfindthe pizzaof
his yearnings.
Finally, a giant pizza pie in the sky with
flashing pepperoni lights andagleaming cheesy
hue lifted the unsatisfied lad from the Earth to a
planet where pepperoni grows on trees and
choice cheeses run in rivers through a crispy
crust landscape.
In the spirit of Daggo Seguie, we searched
the supermarkets in a quest for the world's best
frozen pizzas. For students and families that are
on the go, few things are as tasty, quick and well
balanced as a frozen pizza.
On these incredible creations, one can find
representatives of each food group. The crust
makes up the bread group while the cheese
satisfies the dairy requirement The veggies and
meats, obviously,filltheir own important niches.
Of course pizza also has the joy of that extra
group known as the grease group.
Knowing that many college students live on
pizza and beer alone, we bypassed such médiocre fare as Totinos, Jenos and Celeste and honed
in on some of the most unusual pizzas we could
find. Each pizza was judged separately for its
crust, cheeses, sauces and toppings.
Each was rated on a scale of one to five
pepperonis withfivebeing the maximum rating
and one the lowest
As a control for our experiment, we
began with a Red Baron Special Deluxe
Pizza. At 23.6 ounces it was almost
double the size of the next largest pizza. With a
price under $3, it was also the best value.
Red Baron boasts a "Legwidary Crispy Crust"
but we found this pizza's foundation to be the
same old story of frozen pizza crusts. It was less
crispy than all the others judged and had an
uneventful flavor.
Red Baron pizza sauce has about as much
pizzazz as squished tomatoes. It was spread
conservatively and lacked sufficient spice.
In a dogfight with other pizzas over flavorful
cheese, Red Baron gets shot down in a flash.
The cheese tastes over-processed and lacks the

It is with the toppings that Red Baron flies
circles around other pizzas. The mushrooms
had a juicy, freshly frozen appeal and the pepperoni slices were thick and intermingled with
scrumptious chunks of sausage. Unfortunately
these richly selected toppings are too sparse to
be fully enjoyed.
Red Baron Pizza barely gets off the ground
with a one pepperoni rating. With better crust,
sauce and cheese, Red Baron might have a
chance of becoming a true pizza ace.

We went to the store to buy a
l l i l ® Wolfgang Puck frozen pizza but saw no
woman with blonde hair and tight black
jeans buying the last Wolfgang Puck frozen
pizza. In fact, the shelves were packed with the
hotly advertised product
One reason for the abundance of Puck's
pizzas could be the super-inflated price tag. Our
9.25-ounce Spago Original pizza costjust under
$4 and was barely large enough for one serving.
The Wolfman's original sourdough crust was
too tough to be tasty. The pizza itself was so
stiff, it could take someone'^ head off in a
Frisbee competition.
Aschief chef o fLos Angeles' famedSpago's
restaurant, Wolfgang Puck should have known
that pes to sauce does not a pizza make. The pale
sauce lacked the f resh zing of traditional
marinara. Even so, there was so little pesto on
the pizza, I had to look hard twice to find i t
In the cheese department, this pizza tops
them all. Using fontina, mozzarella, parmesan
and chevre cheeses, Puck hit upon a magnificent flavor combination. The mixture of cheesy
flavors makes for a subtle yet spicy blend.
The greatest disappointment came with the
pizza's toppings. We specifically chose the

Photograph display focuses
on pre-WWII poverty, turmoil
D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
Despair, hopelessness, fear, hunger. These words clearly represent the
photographs currently on display at
the Museum of Photographic Arts in
Balboa Park.
A ptly n amed, " Camera a s , a
Weapon: Worker Photography Between the Wars," these photographs
illustrate the feelings that emanated
throughout Europe between WWI and
WWII. Most of t he photographs
shown are from Germany, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, the Soviet
Union and Italy.
The photographers themselves
were either part of the AIZ (Worker* s
Illustrated News), w hich was a
magazine for photographers, or Der
Arbeiter-Fotograf, which was a
journal of German worker photographers. Both the magazine and the
journal tried to capture the real images
of the people in their countries.
All of these photographs speak to
the viewer with a somber, dismal,
pathetic tone. To look at them is to
realize how cataclysmic the war was
to the people; not the soldiers nor the
officers and politicians, but the impoverished villagers who only craved
to feed their families.
One photograph in particular cries
out f or the needs of the people. "Give
us this Day our Daily Bread," by Kurt
Beck (Germany), pleads with the
viewer. A circular tin bread box
dominates the entire right hand por-
tion of the photograph. On the lid of
the tin box the words "Give us this
Day our Daily Bread" gaily throws
out hope, but hands, both young and
old, grope for the empty box proving
otherwise.
The hope for G od's help in a futile
situation seems worthless. There is no
food to feed the hungry.
Another artist, John Heartfield of
Germany, worked for the AIZ where
many of his photographs made the
cover. One, named "O Little German
Christmas Tree, How Bent Y our
Branches Seem to Be!" conclusively
asserts the change in Germany in the
1930s.
Placed in a swastika stand, a bare
Christmas tree sits alone in an austere
room. The tree trunk is gaunt but
orderly; its branches jutting out from
organized positions become swastikas
themselves. The text below the photograph reads, "Darre, the minister of
food decreed thatfrom Christmas 1934
the growing of the Christianfirtree on
German soil was forbidden as an alien
intruder. In future only the standard

PIONEER PIZZA PICK
With the introduction of Boboli brand Italian bread crusts to the
market, students on the run can make their own pizza creations in
just minutes. Pizzas made with Boboli crusts always taste fresh
and avoid the freezer burn blues.
But the joy of the Boboli lies in its versatility. With a little
creativity, these bready crusts can be converted into a unique
entree that can please the whole family. Here is an American twist
that can be ready in minutes.
CHILI DOG P IZZA
1 large Boboli Italian bread shell
1 1 5 oz can of chili without beans
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
5 hot dogs cut in small pieces
1 /2 white onion finely chopped
1 / 8 cup sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)
Preheat oven to 375. Heat chili slightly until consistency is
smooth. Spread warmed chili evenly on Boboli crust. Sprinkle
cheese on pizza crust until evenly distributed. Top with hot dogs
jalapenos and onions. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until cheese
is melted. Allow 5 minutes to cool.

As a foundation, french bread holds
its toppings well without detracting
from their flavors. Stouffer's uses a
bread that is toasty and crunchy with
just a hint of sourdough taste. The
sauce soaks well into the crust, but the
base has enough thickness to remain
crisp.
Stouffer's utilizes a conservative
approach to sauce distribution so the
toppings and cheese anchor themselves to the bread well. The sauce is

Students at Cal State San Marcos will have more ways to "reach out
and touch someone," thanks to a business agreement signed with
Northern Telecom and Pacific Bell last Monday.
Under the agreement, the two companies will donate $1 million
worth of state-of-the-art equipment and expertise over the next three
years to link the CSUSM permanent campus site with educational and
research institutions around the world.
Potential innovations made possible by the fiber-optic system
include distance learning using two-way interactive video; electronic
study groups with students from around the world; simultaneous
computer access to images, sound and text; and voice-to-text and textto-voice translations.
The system will allow students to simultaneously interact via
television monitors with classrooms as far away as China, Russia and
Japan, and as close as the area's community colleges.
" I'm excited," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. "It makes access
to the university as far away as the nearest phone."
Bob Lee, executive vice president for Pacific Bell, called the project
"an electronic super-highway that will link the university to the state
and the world."
Through the system's 24-hour link-up with the U.S. Library of
Congress and overseas libraries, students and professors will find
access to research information at their fingertips.
Stacy said the university's faculty now faces the task of maximizing

Business Partners program
postponed one semester
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Dean of the College of Business
Bernard Hinton has postponed the
implementation of Cal State San
Marcos' exclusive Business Partners
program until next spring in which
time the university will rewrite a
portion of the planned curriculum.
In a letter dated Sept. 13, Hinton
wrote the business partners to inform
them ofa "construction delay we have
experienced." He cited three reasons
for the delayed implementation in his
letter: to integrate the alternative of
internships into the mentor structure;
the curriculum design was not completed; and manuals and guidelines
were not completed.
"The obvious major improvement
or change from a student point of
view is the added intern feature,"
Hinton said. "I think that will be a
very popular alternative - one that
will enhance student placement"
In the original plan, students would
be matched with a mentor drawn from
the business community. In this student/mentor relationship, the student
is given the opportunity to become
involved in resolving real-world
problems.
' ...we need to finish the
design of our new curriculum
before implementing the
mentoring feature.'
B ERNARD H I N T O N / B U S I N E S S D EAN
The mentors, part of the four-level
Business Partners program, responded
with additional needs.
"We discovered that far more
companies than we anticipated wanted
students to serve as interns," Hinton
said.
Adding the intern option sent the
College of Business back to the
drawing board to write an updated
curriculum.
"Because we intend the business
mentoring program to be an integral
part of our curriculum, and to serve as
a significant source of feedback on
the success of the curriculum, we need
to finish the design of our new curriculum before implementing the
mentoring f eature...." Hinton wrote
in his letter to the businesses.
"We designed this program to integrate with the final curriculum of
the university," Hinton said.
The program has to go through
"somewhat extensive review process." After the curriculum is authored
by the dean, approval must be obtained
by campus faculty members, university officials and the Chancellor's
Office, respectively.
"Right now, i t's in the hands of the
faculty," Hinton said.
In writing the program, Hinton had
to write something that would meet
accreditation and be innovative for
the 21st century. " It's very exciting,"
he said, "from a student point of view.
"If you like what we have, you're

Donors could buy building names
with a cool million contribution
What's in a name?
T his c ommon q uestion w as
amended at the S ept 19 University
Council meeting when Cal State San
Marcos President Bill Stacy asked,
"How much is a name worth?"
If the you're a building at the permanent CSUSM campus site under
construction off Twin Oaks Valley
Road, the answer could be $ 1 million.
University officials are seeking
benefactors willing to exchange the
sum for the opportunity to name future
and existing academic halls, laboratory buildings, baseball fields, the
central campus bell tower and a future
university president's house.
Stacy said the contribution would
"make a nice memorial" and would
forever link the benefactor's name
with the university.
The only named building on the
permanent campus, the William
Craven Administration Hall, is named
for the California state senator who
signed the bill which brought CSUSM
into existence.
The academic building and laboratory complex slated to open in fall
1992 still remain nameless.
For the most part, donor funds will
be used to support academic or student
services housed in the named building. Since the state has already allocated funding for the construction of
the permanent campus, monies received won't be used to actually build
the facilities. Funds could also be used
to purchase needed equipment and
pay for professors.
•
Stacy said all these needs could be
fulfilled without spending even a
dollar of the donated funds. Money
received will be placed in an interestbearing account which will supply
needed dollars for services.
"In perpetuity, the $1 million would
be spitting out interest every year,"
Stacy said. " It's a steady stream of
dependable money."
The university is also seeking
smaller donations which would give
benefactors the opportunity to name
classrooms, a student quad or start a
scholarship fund.
"The most compelling need for
this universityrightnow is scholarship
money," Stacy cited. He said student
loan programs develop slowly.
"A lot ofkids fall through thecracks
because we don't have a financial-aid
program like we should."
Larger donations to CSUSM might
be used to actually construct campus
buildings that the state refuses to fund.
An auditorium planned to accompany
the university's performing arts center, for instance, won't be funded by
the state.
Donationscouldhelp to financially
kick such projects o ff, while prompting state legislators to f und them.

State anticipates half million
students by century's end
Growth projections for the California State University indicate that
the CSU could surpass half a million
by the year 2000.
The CSU is the country's largest
system of senior higher education. In
the last 10 years, enrollment has grown
from 313,850 in fall 1980 to 369,053
in fall 1990.Thcnumbersareexpected
to grow even more drastically with
the increase in population at Cal State
San Marcos.
Fifteen years from now, classroom
hallways could be bulging with at
least 477,900 students, and perhaps
as many as 550,000students, depending on different scenarios.
What could drastically affect those
numbers is financing. The state's
budget woes - caused by a slumping
economy, dwindling tax revenues and
increased demand for services - is the
single most telling ingredient in how
the CSU will grow into the future.
Historically,theCSU has beenable
to meet student demand, basically
through adequate state funding. At
this point in time, however, student
demand is exceeding resources, thus
causing unmet demands. California's
promise to all qualified students that
it willfinda place for them in higher
education could be broken in the near
future if sufficient funds are not
available.
"We have to question seriously
whether CSU can continue to enroll
all eligible students with this decreased
level of funding," said Chancellor
Barry Munitz.

it this year, we could find it impossible to fulfill our mission of providing a quality education to every student who enters our doors. For this
reason, we are taking a close look at
the budget process and how it affects
our entire operation,*9 Munitz said.
If the system were forced to deny
entrance to students because of lack
of money, not enough faculty and
fewer services and classes, growth
projections for the coming decade
will be revamped, Munitz said.
According to a report prepared by
the Division of Analytic Studies, four
major factor have driven CSU growth
this past decade:
• Asian, Filipino, Mexican and
other Latino immigrant and refugee
children entered the state's public
schools in record numbers.
• These students in turn entered
higher education as first-time freshmen in unanticipated numbers.
• The annual fk5w of undergraduate transfers to the CSU held steady at
60,000 despite downturns of community college enrollments.
• The CSU improved its persistence rate; that is, more students are
successfully progressing toward a degree.
Five scenarios of enrollment demand have been made using different
sets of assumptions about how these
four factors could influence future
enrollment levels. All the scenarios
begin with the premise thatpopulation
growth, as projected by the Department of Finance, will yield larger
numbers of incoming students.
rff
In the first, it is assumed that all
enrollment patterns - transfer rates,
freshman participation, persistence would remain the same. Under that
condition, enrollment would rise to
477,900 by 2005.
In the second scenario, improvement in persistence rates is assumed
to continue, with enrollment hitting
497,500.
In the third, it is assumed that
nonwhite high school graduates will
enter the CSU as freshmen at the same
rate as white graduates, leading to ah
enrollment of 516,700.
In the next scenario, improved
transfer rates for nonwhite students
would increase estimates to 527,300.
The final scenario presumes full
ethnic parity in high school graduation
rates for a top estimate of 550,200.
Recent forecasts by the Department
of Finance indicate that public school
enrollment will reach 5 million this
fall, or a 4 percent increase. Through
the rest of the decade, the department
estimates that figure will reach 7.2
million.
'These students," Munitz said, "are
the future of the CSU and the state. To
be able to grow and find a place for
them, we need a better, more stable
financial base. We cannot continue to
layoff faculty and staff, cut class
sections, increase class size and fail to
buy books and equipment
"If we want our economy to recover, and if we expect California to
continue as a leading force in the
world, higher education has to once
again become a priority in this state."

�CSUSM political science professor
discusses changes in Soviet Union
hold together the old Russian empire
by appealing to an economically and
politically inappropriate ideology for
the Russian people.
"For nearly 70 years, Soviet communism substituted the myths of
people's democracy, socioeconomic
equality, and proletarian internationalism for the reality of political freedom, economic liberty, and national
independence.
"As long as the party leadership
was able to retain monolithic control
over the instruments of coercion and
communication, these myths concealed the elitism, economic inequality, and nationalism that were its
true character," Zwick says.
He says that Soviet communism
was an economic disaster. The nation
was unable to keep up with the standards of living in market-oriented
Western nations and some ThirdWorld nations.

With the constantly changing political environment of the Soviet
Union, Americans are concerned over
the effects of such dramatic changes.
In an effort to help students and
staff at Cal State San Marcos sort out
the complex climate of the Soviet
Union, Dr. Peter Zwick, professor of
Political Science, addressed acrowded
room of spectators eager for enlightenment on Russia's problems.
Zwick, who has authored two
books, several book chapters and a
handful ofjournal article on the Soviet
Union, is the leading expert on Soviet
affairs at CSUSM.
" ... (this address) captures what I
consider to be the most important
process at work in the world today:
the simultaneous collapse of Soviet
Communism and the Soviet Empire,"
Zwick says.
Zwick speculates that recent events
in the Eastern Block are "merely a
prologue" to future revolutionary
change. He says the developments
now occurring in the Soviet Union
were not as totally unexpected as critics have suggested.
"Like geologists waiting for the
"big one' that will hit California some
day, we knew it was coming, but we
didn't know when," states Zwick.
According to Zwick, the continued
need for political repression in die

between Soviet leaders, rather it
should concern itself with the direction that country is going.
According to Zwick, the end of the
Soviet Union marks the beginning of
a "New World Order." He says that,
apart from Bush's interpretation of
that term, the new order will be an
economic gauge of international
power.
"Henceforth, there will be a truly
multipolar world of economic actors
in which the United States will play a
significant, but not dominant role,"
Zwick says, adding that this system
will make it far more complicated to
"identify adversaries and partners."
Zwick warns that the collapse of
the Soviet Union might pose dangers
to the world that were not present
during the Cold War. Russia will
continue to be a nuclear power, but so
might its republics. Local conflicts,
therefore, have the potential to become
global ones.
"The Cold war was dangerous, but
it was stable and relatively peaceful
from the Atlantic to the Urals," he
says. "The post-Cold War era promises to be both dangerous and unstable.
" ... while the short-term results of
the revolution we are witnessing may
be to our liking, the long-term process
will be difficult, painful, and prolonged, and the results of the collapse
of Soviet communism and the Soviet
empire is unlikely to be domestic and
international harmony."
extent of Soviet economic retardation, the Soviet leadership doggedly
kept its citizens isolated from the rest
of the world and carefully edited the
picture that they received about conditions elsewhere," cites Zwick.
Adding to the high costs of maintaining the Russian system, the Soviet
Union took responsibility for other
countries which Zwick refers to as
"the worst economic basket cases in
"A Vision Limited Only

�Sun could cause skin carcinomas Campus events serve
Since I don't have the opportunity
to write a column during the summer
when the effects of sun exposure are
greatest and since people keep talking
about the lack of sun, I would like to
inform readers about some sobering
facts.
Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet
radiation is known to promote three
types of skin cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most
common and causes 500,000 cases
annually. It is usually localized and
curable.
Squamous cell carcinomas cause
100,000 cases annually and, if diagnosed early, can be curable.
Melanoma, although causing only
35,000 cases annually, is dangerous
and if not caught early can be fatal.
The incidence of both squamous
cell and melanoma is increasing faster
than all other cancers. Many scientists attribute some of this increase to
the thinning of the ozone layer, allowing greater penetration of ultraviolet radiation.
Also, some scientists think that

Where are campaign posters?
Next week voters are asked to give their approval on key issues
during Gal State San Marcos' third student election.We've learned,
mostly through Pioneer, about the importance of raising student
fees and the sad financial status of the Associated Students.
But, with elections less than a week away, an interesting question comes to mind:
Where are the posters, buttons and banners?
Granted, in a university housed in a shopping center environment, overindulgent campaigning is scarcely possible. Yet, with
the importance of ballot measures A and B, one would expect at
least a cursory flier or two.
Obviously the A.S. Gouncil is not seriously considering the
importance of Monday and Tuesday's vote. They must be taking it
for granted that students see issues regarding fee measures as they
do.
At the Election Committee meeting formed to set guidelines for
the upcoming elections, not one A.S. Council member was present
Student Affairs Vice President Ernest Zomalt said the A.S.
wished to remain removed from the guideline-setting procedure so
it could concentrate its efforts on campaigning.
So where are those efforts manifested?
Last semester there was no A.S. at election time to communicate
the importance and meaning of fee measures to students. As a result,
students voted down a crucial measure which would enable the A.S.
to collect fees, but approved, albeit narrowly, a $15 fee measure.
The cause for such mixed messages could be that students
simply didn't understand what the enabling ballot measure was
saying. If the case is such, then the A.S.'s task is e asy... promote
understanding.
The A.S. has written paragraphs explaining each ballot measure,
but students probably won't even see those clarifying statements
until they vote. By that juncture the effort might be to late.
Would it be

spread by the
A.S. on the seats
available in the Council, then perhaps more students would have
applied for candidacy for the open positions. As it stands now, only
two candidates are vying for one of the three seats.
The alarmingly low voter turnout at other universities could be
attributed, in part, to the difficulty of information dissemination at
large campuses. No doubt CSUSM will someday be faced with the
same difficulties.
.
However, since CSUSM remains relatively small, this problem
should not exist.
One would expect the A.S. to be, at the very least, overly
aggressive on the campaign trail. After all, the A.S. has a $12,900
debt to repay to the University Foundation.
Money needed to pay that loan back won't come from nowhere.
Bake sales and refreshment booths wouldn't even pay the interest
if the loan came from a bank. Judging from the effort the A.S. is
putting into this campaign, it is doubtful they would even be able
to pull a bake sale off.
If either Measure A or B does not pass, then the A.S. has only
itself to blame. Hopefully in the next week they can put out at least
a minimal effort of promoting ballot understanding.
OUR VIEWS
P IONEER /TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1991
U.S. foreign policy:
a two-lane freeway
America has always been schizophrenic about foreign
policy: don't do anything during peacetime, and then
leap out with military might to right the world when it
misbehaves.
This may be described as a two-lanefreeway: isolationism merged with reactionism. Unfortunately, the
tolls on this road keep proving too expensive.
George Bush, the United States' most visible and
effective foreign p olicy
president since
R i c ha r d
N ixon, has
asked for approval to "fasttrack" an economic unification of North
America PreGUEST COLUMNIST
dictably, isolationists complain that American jobs will be lost, and
they oppose these free-trade talks.
There are some reasons to be concerned, granted. The
term "fast-track" is borrowedfromthe legal community,
wherein it describes a procedure replete with strict deadlines to insure speedy trial. In this instance, far less is
prescribed. Bush seeks carte blanch to negotiate a comprehensive pact that Congress will later say, yes or no, to.
At worst, a bad agreement could be approved without the
full democratic process (i.e. consensus building) checking its errors.
Most specifically, short-term benefits will go south.
The initial benefits will mushroom in Mexico's climate
of cheap labor, relaxed real estate regulations, vast natural resources, and ecological indifference. At first,
America's healthful economy will be nursing the emerging
Mexican infrastructure.
In the long run, roughly one or two American jobs of
a middle-class prospect or better will develop for every
four Mexicans in a blue-collar position. In the very long
run, that is the best news for the United States, promising
more of what America's new economy should be composed of: service industries - like lawyering, teaching,
and management - leading the information-management
age.
Another long-term benefit ignored by the isolationist
voices (who would also have us "do more" about the
flood of undocumented aliens straining California's infrastructure) is enabling us to handily influence - and
jump-start - the economic emergence of the Hispanic
block of nations. Nations that are capable of supporting
their people's income and political aspirations do not
have exodus problems.
If a remote goal of United States' foreign policy
remains a world of democratic free-markets, Bush's
proactive intentions are on the right track indeed. Let's
hope that Congress permits it to be fast enough.

"Where lies the final
harbor, whence we
unmoor no more?"
HERMAN MELVILLE
In a recent letter 'Angry Student Recounts
Registration Woes' (anonymous) the writer expressed concerns that he/she was mistreated and
misinformed regarding the registration process
for students returning to CSU, San Marcos after
"stopping out" one semester.
We all sympathize with the frustration experienced by the student(s). We are here to work
with any or all of them so that they can understand and be supported by our system. Perhaps
some brief definitions and explanations might
help others who plan to "stop out" in the future.
1. Students who maintain their enrollment
from term to term are defined as continuing
students.
2. Students who break their enrollment are
defined as returning students (anonymous was a
returning student).
3 .0f the 70 students eligible to return this fall
without reapplying for admission, only eight
chose to do so.
4. Students who plan to "stop out" should file
a Leave of Absence form. If they do, they will
receive registration materials at the same time
continuing students receive theirs and will be
eligible for early registration.
5. Students who don't file Leave of Absence
forms will not be eligible for early registration.
These students will receive registration materials
only if they make a specific request to Admissions and Records. They will be eligible for
registration during the schedule adjustment
period only.
I hope this information provides some clarity
with regard to the "stop out" process. We believe
this system provides a fair and equitable process
for differentiating between students who break
their enrollment with every intention ofreturning
the following semester from those who simply
walk away.

A.S. membership:
fee excessive tax
In the last issue of Pioneer, there was an
article about the upcoming Associated Student
Government elections (Enabling measure reintroduced).
The A.S. is calling upon us to approve three
ballot measures and to elect three representatives to fill the three unoccupied seats. We
should carefully analyze the three ballot measures along with the debt the A.S. has incurred.
The first ballot measure we should examine
is Measure B. This ballot measure would allow
the A.S. to assess a $15 membership fee per
semester. If you, the students, believe that $15

government, in its infancy, has already placed

if this will be a continuous pattern throughout
the A.S. government operations or if this is just
a one-time occurrence.

Now, we should examine Measure A. Measure A is the measure that will enable the A.S. to

Superman'flies higher
than other movie heroes
SHEILA COSGROVE/HONEER
There's something about
superhero movies that I can't get
enough of. It might have something
to do with the fact that the handsome protagonist wears tights and
has bulging muscles.
Or maybe they're just plain
unbelievable (whammo!) fun.
Ever since Hollywood came into

been a staple of cinematic diet. The
past twelve years have brought us

'Greystoke'), "The Rocketeer',
'Swamp Thing' (sequel thing too),
'Dick Tracy', 'Conan the (beefy)

course, the over-rated 'Batman.'
Each summer we can bet to see
at least one new hero and maybe a
return engagement of an old one in
the theaters and video stores. And
why not? The storylines are already
there in the comic stores so nobody
need worry about (gasp!) a good
script.
Besides, most movie-goers need
a steady diet of special effects and
comic books supply a great framework for them.
In my uncanny, superhuman
opinion (bof!), the best of the
comic-turned-movie crop lies in the
first two 'Superman' movies.
My first experience with
'Superman' was in the back of my
mom's stationwagon (clunk!) when

murder weapon—it may be pointed at you.
Everything at the Mystery Theatre is afoot
with fun. The audience participates because the
actors include every person in the audience.
Instead of performing on a stage, the actors
flow by the tables of onlookers, including them
in the plot and murders.
Before the show begins, the audience receives
a passport with everyone in the cast's name and
profession imprinted upon it. Clue sheets are
everywhere.
The dinner presents itself between the acts,
with four courses, soup, salad, main dish and
dessert. Every time a course is served, the
audience must prepare for the next act, writing
down clues and discussing motives.
Everything in the theatre is shrouded in
black and white, including the tables, the actors
and the walls. However, don't be deceived;
clues to solve the murder are not so simple. The
difficulty lies in guessing the correct murderer,
and answering why.
At the end of the play, the winning name is
chosen (the one who guesses the murder correctly), and that person receives a black and
white tee shirt with "Get a clue" and "I solved
the Mystery at the Mystery Cafe," imprinted on
them.
Now showing at Lake San Marcos Resort is
'Murder at the Cafe Noir,' written by David
Landau-and directed by Kimberli A. DavisBaker. Shows run every Friday and Saturday
night at 8 p.m., and the dinner and show cost
between $30 and $34.

Murder at the Cafe Noir,' T h e a t e r
home of incorrigible Mann
E LAINE WHALEY/PIONEER
When you decide to take in an
evening at the Mystery Theatre at the
Lake San Marcos Resort, one of the
actors who will escort you to your
table is the incorrigible Kevin Mann.
Before you even reach the table
you will have several strong first impressions:
• This guy is BIG! His sweeping
black Count Dracula cape emphasizes
his stature.
• This guy is EVIL! Mann assumes
a hoarse, croaking voice with just
enough of a tinge of lecher to make
your skin crawl.
• This guy is FUNNY! Just when
you are starting to think, "Who the
hell is this weirdo?" it starts to get
good for you. You realize that the
things this draconian figure is saying
are really outrageous.
He's impossibly rude and impossible to resist.
Mann uses his role as the melodramatic evil Anthony Cairo as a vehicle for a natural comic flair. His
obvious enjoyment of this role is con-
tagious.
Although Mann has studied acting
in Los Angeles, he comes to the
Mystery Theatre as a local talent. He
graduated from Vista High and studied Drama at Palomar under instructor Pat Larmer.
Mann has other theatre experience
in the local arena also, working at
Lawrence Welk in its production of
' Don't Drink the Water.* He has also
landed some bit parts in commercials.
On the down side, Mann said that
all too frequently actors end up getting
jobs that have nothing to do with
character type. If your appearance fits
the bill they are looking fill, you get
the job.
Mann is currently in the organizational stages of opening a non-profit
theatre in the Carlsbad Cultural Arts
Center.
When Cal State San Marcos develops a more comprehensive drama
department, Mann is interested in
studying in the program. His humor,
talent and experience would make
him a welcome addition to our learning community.

�Company Business' goes bankrupt with storyline
It was just a matter of time before
Hollywood realized the potential of
the changing political climate in Europe for the subject of a film.
New and improved East/West relations and its consequence for the
spy trade is the subject of 'Company
Business,' thefirstsuch film to address
this issue.
It stars Gene Hackman as Sam
Boyd, a retired spy master who can
onlyfindworkin industrial espionage,
ferreting out trade secrets for a cosmetics company.
He comes from the old school
which taught their agents to do this
the good old-fashioned way which
completely ignores the computer age.
Boyd is surprised when the CIA
calls him in to do one more job for
them - namely to oversee a prisoner
swap.
His c harge i s Soviet P yiotr
Grushenko (Mikhail Baryshnikov)
who worked as a double agentuntil he
was captured and incarcerated by the
Americans. Grushenko is to be
swapped for a captured American
agent who is supposed to be a close
friend of the president.
Because the Berlin Wall has come

down, the Soviets and the Americans
have lost their usual prisoner swap
spot atcheck point Charlie. Now they
must go underground to a station for
a subway that travels between East
and West Berlin.
But Boydfiguresout there's more
going on than just a simple swap and
he botches thedeal, taking Grushenko
and $2 million with him. Things get
complicated as the two former spies
are chased through Berlin and Paris
by both the CIA and the KGB.
Written and directed by Nicholas
Meyer(4StarTrekII: Wrath of Khan'),
this film is right on top of current
political situations, such as the Berlin
Wall coming down, and was reworked
daily to include changing events.
Geraldine Danon (left), Gene Hackman and Mikhail Baryshnikov star in 'Company Business.'
But this kind of pressure can make
or break a film and this one shatters.
Working from a sketchy plot to begin
with and suffering from deadly dull
pacing, 'Company Business* lacksany
spark it could have had in the right
hands.
Part of the problem is the chemistry, b etween H ackman and
Baryshnikov, which is to say there
isn't any. God knows, between the
two of them, they have some talent.
But they can't collectively gather any
steam to propel this film forward.
Since 'Company Business* fails to
make a mark, the field is still wide
open for a definitivefilmon the subject. It's pretty certain that this movie
will fadefromtheaters and memories
faster than events changing in the
Soviet Union.

Metallica's latest album reminiscent of the
good old days of Ozzy's Black Sabbath era
Remember the classic metal days
of Black Sabbath with Ozzy
Osbournc? Do you remember when,
if played very loudly, their music
would frighten small children and send
parents into a panic?
Well, the thunder is rolling again.
Metall ica has revitalized that sound
on their self-titled fifth recording,
'Metallica.'
The band's new producer, Bob
Rock, has once again captured the
esscnce of a band and brought them to
the doorstepof em inent success. Rock
was able to make Bon Jovi's 'Slippery when Wet' into a household
name.
But, unlike his work with Bon Jovi,
Rock has squeezed out the best from

any rock recording I have ever heard.
Check out, 'Nothing Else Matters.'
If Metal is the voice of frustrated
youth and a rejection of social community, them Metallica has captured
that energy'and funneled it into this
recording.
But do not get the idea that they are
blind anarchists. On the aptly titled
'Don't Tread on Me,' they express
the pride and patriotism many Americans felt as their nation was provoked
into war (No matter what you thought
of the decision).
There is not one cut that best represents the entire album. The single,
'Enter Sandman,' comes close but the
quality of songwriting and the tight
sound of the band go well beyond that
song's performance.
Metallica and its new producer
have proven that diversity may be the
skeleton key that unlocks a dungeon
of talent and mass appeal, not to mention some thought-provoking music.
For you classic metal buffs, buy
the recording, listen to it and decide
for yourself if 'Enter Sandman,' 'Sad
But True' and the ending solo of 'My
Friend of Misery' aren't an inadvertent homage to the Ozzy-era Black
Sabbath.

Sick of the same old stuff for sustenance?
Submerge your appetite into the Sub-Marina's selection of belly-busting sandwiches. Located on San
Marcos Blvd., Sub-Marina has the quaint atmosphere
of a country deli.
There, you can choose from 34 sandwiches on the
menu or design you own sub. All are guaranteed to
drown even the heartiest of appetites.
The ATC (avocado, turkey and cheese) sandwich is
a true taste sensation that is served on a wide choice of
breads. I found the meats and toppings to be fresh and
the bread soft and spongy.
Sandwiches come with lettuce, tomato, onion, Italian dressing, mustard and mayo to form a well-balanced meal between two slices of bread.
The place is immaculate and the service is fast. It
took less than five minutes to construct my sandwich.
Prices are reasonable, ranging from $2.80 for a sixinch salami and cheese to $3.70 for a "Club Sub." For
a little extra, you can add avocado, sprouts, pickles,

jalapefios or pepperoncini (those tasty pickled peppers). With coupons, the deli's deals reach new fathoms.
If you are having a party, three-foot subs are available. If your family is single-handedly trying to control
the gene pool, go for the six-footer.
Sub-Marina also caters. If you happen to have a

of cooking, then Sub-Marina can painlessly fulfill your

Business persons might be interested to know that
Sub-Marina has a fax menu. Copies can be obtained at

Fog shrouds thebamacleencrusted
pilings. Persevering fishermen try
theirluck,hopingforbetter than perch.
Last of the summer visitors clutch
sweaters tightly to their shoulders, as
they stroll up the Oceanside Pier,
shivering in the damp evening breeze.
Halfway up the pier, Leonard, the
baitman, holds solitary watch over a
cash register that rarelyrings.Pickled
eggs, to bloodworms, to snicker bars
waitpatiently to be consumed by living
beings with eitherfeet or fins. Leonard,
informs us that the summer has not
been lucrative due to the unusually
cold weather.
"The summer that never was," not
only kept the visitors away it also kept
the water temperature lower than
normal which kept the fish away as
well.
Leonard was not particularly upset
because as he explained, "I don * t own
the shop."
However, Leo the business man-
ager of the restaurant at the end of the
pier, feels differently. "I'll do anything to encourage business. Large
parties, small parties, weddings, catering, I'll do it. Aren't you hungry?"
His food looks and smells wonderful. But while not by any means
outrageous, these starving students
can't afford it. We can afford, however, the delicious "happy hour"
goodies upstairs.
John, the bartender, serves us stirfried veggies, sweet and sour meatballs
andricep ilaf—all for a mere dollar.
Beer and wine at a dollar and well
drinks for $ 1.50 plus a gorgeous view
of the sunset over die Pacific (if the
fog wasn't in the way) make for a
mellow evening.
After .a brief flirt with the cute
locals, facing the elements on the
propane heated balcony, we leisurely
strolled back. Leaving the surfers to
their never-ending quest for the perfect wave, we photograph the last of
the summer lovers hugging on the
sand and head for the warmth of our
car.

Student fee adopted in elections
L ARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER
Next spring, students will be assessed a
$ 15 membership fee, due to an overwhelming victory by two measures on last week's
Associated Students special election ballot.
With 200 students voting in the Oct 7
and 8 poll, Measure B, which approved the
fee, passed by a landslide 73 percent of the
vote. An enabling measure allowing the
A.S. to collect the imposed fee also was
. adopted with 8 2 percent of the student vote.
Along with the f ee measures* Measure
C, which established principles of remunerations for A.S. Council members, also
passed. The measure squeezed by with a 5 2
percent "yes" vote.
"We are surprised and pleased by the
results,"said A.S. President JoseChapman.
"It proves that all the work on the elections
did not g o for naught."
• • ? Last April, students narrowly approved
a $15 A.S. membership fee, but failed to
pass the enabling measure allowing the
organization to collect the charge. As a
result, the A.S. turned to the University
Foundation for a $12,900 loan to attain
funds.
Last week's victory will give the A.S. a
steady source of income and provide funds
to repay the Foundation's loan.
"We were certain to make sure A and B
passed," Chapman said. He indicated that
translations for the ballot measures that
were printed on the ballot helped students
understand for what they were voting.
The translations provided pro and con
explanations of the ballot measures in terms
students could comprehend.

Measure C stands for council 'conflict'
When the Associated Student Council put a measure on last
week's ballot asking for the principle of receiving rerttUnerations,
they had no idea that it would cause a stir.
Measure C, which passed by a narrow margin of six votes, asked
students to apprcfve the idea of establishing and awarding scholarship stipends, grants-in-aid and other remunerations to A.S.
officers and Council members.
"I was surprised at the reaction to the measure since it didn't
establish anything but a principle," said Vicc President of Student
Affairs Ernest Zomalt.
He said the proposition did not commit the student body to any
type of expenditure of funds.
But other students saw the measure as an attempt by the A.S.
Council to award themselves monetary compensation, for their
work.
In a letter to Pioneer, CSUSM student William Christensen noted,
"The A.S. is quickly imitating the politicians in Washington and
Sacramento who give themselves pay raises, bonuses and fringe
benefits."
Barbara Pender, editor of the campus yearbook, said that students serving on the A.S. Council should do so without pay. She said
she believes the work should be performèd on a voluntary basis
only.
A.S. President Jose Chapman said the A.S. did not actively
campaign for the measure because measures A and B establishing
student fees were the "thrust" of the election.

! Alcohol Awareness Week at CSUSM inidates a year-round emphasis on alcohol education and recognition of thp individual's ultimate
responsibility for decisions regarding use or non-use of alcohol. Activities
at CSUSM coincide with similar efforts during National Collegiate
Alcohol Awareness Week.
An effort to stress education and the individuals ultimate responsibility in making well-informed, responsible decisions will be the focus
of the program. A display table will be set up in the Student Lounge
during the entire event.
Cal State San Marcos isn't theonly
educational institution in the city to
recognize North County's cultural

Panic disorder can be treated
if diagnosed quickly, properly
Recently, The National Institutes
o f Health c onvened a c onsensus
conference on a very common disorder and have agreed (which i s not
always the case) that it i s very responsive to treatment.
Panic disorder is defined as discrete
periods o f intense fear or discomfort
that are not triggered by severe anxiety-producing stimulus.
Most people with the disorder believe they are having a heart attack or
some type of severe impending doom
without any obvious precipitating
event. Therefore, panic disorder is
frequently misdiagnosed and consequently not properly treated.
Although r ecognized s ince the
1960s, known to occur in families,
and being maybe as common as 1 in
75 people, panic disorder i s s o often
misdiagnosed that patients frequently
have seen 10 or more doctors before
they are properly diagnosed.
Patients need to have at least four
of the following symptoms for the
diagnosis: shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations (increased heart
beat), trembling or shakings sweating,
choking, chest pain, abdominal distress, numbness, fear o f dying, and

fear of going crazy or losing control.
A person who has four or more
panic attacks in one month i s considered to have panic disorder. Some
may have isolated attacks and may
not require treatment. Others may have
infrequent attacks but live in constant
fear o f attacks and would possibly
benefit from treatment.
What is exciting is that there is
consensus that treatment really works.
Antidepressant medications, other
medications and cognitive-behavior
therapies have been found to be effective. Combinations of the therapies
are being researched. Fortunately,
people w ho have been rendered dysfunctional by this disorder are now
being helped with current therapy.

P AMELA F ARREL /PIONEER -.
If you're a student at Cal State San
Marcos, chanccs are the person sitting
next to you in class is areentry woman.
Reentry women comprise onethird of the student population at
CSUSM. Many times, they face different obstacles than their younger
classmatesand have differing reasons
for seeking a degree.
"I sec reentry as a long-term trend,"
says Sandy Kuchler, director of Student Developmental Services. "Many
people switch focus or careers several
times in their lives. They have seen
education as the key to reentering the
job market or transitioning from one
career to another."
Kuchler says that CSUSM is a
"testimony of the number of students
that are not of traditional age." She
indicates that the focus of this older
student body is on life-long learning.
Reentry i s a grey term. Students in
this category range from 25-35 years
old and through their 70s. These students are sometimes called "adult
learners" or "non-traditional age students."
The average age of a student at
CSUSM i s 2 9, four years greater than
the national average. Many reentry
students have families and jobs to
tend to outside of their studies.
Time management, childcare, elder care, fears about skill level and
unreal expectations are some of the
common dilemmas of reentry women.
"Balancing time i s the biggest
challenge," comments CSUSM reentry student Tanis Brown. Student
Donna Hinke agrees, "My struggle is
how to juggle family responsibilities
with study and class time."
Kuchler says, "Deep down inside,
women f eel they need to do it all.
They just can't do it all at the same
level."
To help provide support for those
issues of letting g o and o f lowering
expectations, Kuchler developed the
W omen's I nformation N etwork
(WIN).
"Ideally," s ays Kuchler, "this
educational should involve the entire
family or significant others who initially may be very supportive of the
decision to return to school. However,
when reality sets in and the student is
nolongeravailabletohelpmeetneeds, .
there i s sometimes anger and frustration to deal with."
One of WIN's functions i s to help
them battle those frustrations.
But, because many reentry students
have so many other responsibilities,
"I see reentry as a long-term trend. Many people switch
focus or careers several times in their lives. They have seen
education as the key to reentering the job market or
transitioning from one career to another."
SANDY KUCHLER/STUDENT DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES DIRECTOR
providing a support group can be difficult. Kuchler says that many reentry
women c ome to campus for just one
class.
For that reason, she says she is
interested in hearing from women who
may be interested in meeting at a time
other than the scheduled meetings at
noon on Tuesdays in the Student
Lounge.
Kuchler was a reentry woman herself, s o she i s sympathetic to the time
demands on reentry women. "If a
group of reentry women in one class
wants to contact me, I'd love to get
together and meet them," she says.
Patti Elenz-Martin, a counselor in
Counseling Services, also sees the
reentry woman as plagued by business
and responsibilities.
"Sometimes hectic schedules can
make students feel isolated or disconnected. I want to be sensitive to their
schedules," says Elenz-Martin.
"Some students may feel they don't
have any options because they aren't
aware of the choices or resources that
may be available to them. Often, they
have s o many classmates, they don't
take time for themselves."
Elenz-Martin says providing resources is a two-way street She is
open to suggestions from students o f
resources needed and workshops they
would like to s ee offered.
To provide information in a f lexible manner, Counseling Services and
Career Planning offers a variety o f
on-going workshops on topics like
stress management, resume writing
and an orientation to the SIGI computer programs for interest evaluation.
Audio and video cassettes and pamphlets are also available to students.
"Childcare i s another area of need
on the agenda for the new facilities,"
Kuchler says. "Because o f tight state
regulations, it is impossible to handle
a childcare facility on our current
campus."
A childcare co-op is being formed
and interested students should sign
up in the Associated Students O ffice.
Faculty members are receptive to
the trend of older students.
Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor of
English, estimates that nearly 9 0 percent of his students are o f non-tradi- tional age.
•
"They havea stronger commitment
to their studies, largely due to their
l ife experiences which allow them to
s ee a clear association between their
goals, their experience and their university education," says Mendoza.

Columbus was important
despite incorrect ideology
There I was, sitting in the Student Lounge, eavesdropping as
usual. Over there were these two grade school instructors discussing
how to teach Christopher Columbus' discovery to their children.
—Well, let's see, he discovered America.
—Sure, but he was a bigot!
—But nobody had ever discovered America, except maybe Leif
Erikson.
—He was a bigot too!
—I think it's pretty important that he discovered A merica...
— ... and started 500 years of oppression! You want to glorify a
monster like that?
— No, I guess you're right. We'll let the kids figure out for
themselves who discovered America. Now, what about Lincoln
Of course, the conversation may not have gone exactly as
depicted, but I really wasn't taking notes.
What I did note was the final insistence from both grade school
teachers that Columbus be deglorified because of his belief in
Manifest Destiny.
Back then (a half a millennium ago) countries thought that they
had a God-givenrightto claim territories. As a result, whole nations
of people., like the American Indians, suffered from colonization
and invasion.
Obviously, with today'scrazc for political correctness, Manifest
'Destiny is hardlyan embraced doctrine. But, in the time of Columbus
it was.
When I was a child I revelled in stories of the age of exploration.
Travelers like Magellan and Drake wererightup there with Captain
Kirk in their quests for the unknown. Easily the most excellent
explorer of them all was Columbus himself.
It is difficult to understand all of the hullabaloo over
Measure C in last week's Associated Students elections
The measure seemed simple enough at first—asking
students to approve theprinciple for awarding A.S. Council
members stipends, grants and other forms of aid for work
done in governmental meetings.
Yet some saw the measure as a way for the A.S. to

fal
and
social
ideologies than
our own, is counterproductive. It takes away their opportunity to
cling to the ambitions of historical mentors.
Just because Thomas Jefferson possessed slaves, for instance,
doesn'tmean that he disregarded humanrights.JohnF. Kennedy's
accomplishments cannot be ignored just because he slept with
Marilyn Monroe.
Bashing Columbus for beliefs that were accepted during his
lifetime 4 99 years ago serves no purpose but to promote political
correctness today. Who can say how the explorer would have gone
about the business of discovering America in today 's society?
History teaches us many lessons on many different levels. Our
philosophies on how to treat others are directly gauged and formed
by actions in the past but s o is the knowledge of the world around
US'.
Columbus taught us that there are always new horizons to be
discovered and explored. Let's examine the man for that accomplishment and not stoop to mindless folly by nitpicking at his
beliefs.
Examining other A.S. organizations, it becomes readily
apparent that such expectations are not realistic.
Most A.S. council members throughout the Cal State
system receive stipends from the student body. These
stipends are paid for out o f student fees for the immense
amount of time each member expends while serving on
the council.
Measure C does not award stipends to A.S. Council, it
simply asked if students believe the principle of scholarships or grant-in-aid for council members is ethically
correct.
Why shouldn't it be?
With a population that consists of one-third reentry
women, CSUSM has a student constituency that is pressed
for time and money. Many students have families and
must hold a job while continuing studies. Taking time to
serve on an A.S. Council can put an expensive squeeze on
the pocketbook and limit income.
The A.S. president's stipend of $ 3,600is barely a drop
in the bucket for the time expended for the job. Most other
CSUs award their A S . presidents stipends that are 10 to
2 0 times higher than CSUSM's.
In addition, due to the small size of CSUSM and the
newness of the student government, a greater time commitment for the president i s needed than at other schools.
Many times he/she must serve on committees that are
vacant from lack o f student participation.
This time commitment does not allow the A.S. president to hold a work experience job apart from his/her
other duties. Is token compensation too much to ask for
such a sacrifice?
When students are elected to A.S. positions, they are
not elected into a priesthood where money and time must
be sacrificedfor service. They areelectedintoacommunity
that needs their services.
In this case, thecommunity-at-large (students) should
be receptive to the fact that fulfilling that need is costing
A.S. members personally.

T hese two e xamples are part o f a long list that

The gay community is making an issue out o f
nothing. If this bill had passed, then the v egetarians would have a precedent to pass a similar
bill in their favor. And what i s to stop the
heterosexual community from passing a straight

The need for legislation i s void. T o rectify
any discrimination in the j ob market, employers
and e mployees must recognize the homosexuals and understand that their different l ife-style

realize that their sexual orientation d oes not

fill j 111*??
Living in his own world, Quixote creates a
w mmmmmmm^m
society where he fights his adversaries and
protects his friends. Whatever Quixote believes becomes reality to
him.
"Man of La Mancha," playing at the Civic Theatre in San Diego,
recreates the spirit of Quixote with eloquent songs and superb acting.
Performed on an elaborate stage, "Man of La Mancha" wanders
through the life of Cervantes and his character, Don Quixote.
The opening scene presents Cervantes, exquisitely performed by
David Holliday (who also5 performs as .Quixote), as he and his servant
are thrust into a prison. In order to avoid the other prisoners' abuse,
Cervantes reveals a story about a traveling man, Quixote, and his
trusty friend, Sancho, whimsically performed by Darryl Ferrera. All
the prisoners within the prison interact in Cervantes' story by
becoming characters for the telling of the story.
Within Cervantes' story, Quixote encounters many different
people, one of which he falls in love with and calls his "Dulcinea."

One of the best scenes within "Man of La Mancha" depicts an
interaction between Aldonza and Sancho. Aldonza probes Sancho
about his obedience to Quixote, and he lovingly sings, "I really like

favorite knight preforms acts o f
heroism in a tournament of jousting
and sword fighting. Color, pageantry, elegant horsemanship, good
food and a great time await visitors
to M e d i e ^ Ti ib$sv in Buen&J*ark.
Upon arrival, each guest is given
a colored crown So wear. This
crown admits them as part of the
retinue of their champion knight.
The blue crowns sit in the blue
section and cheer loudly for the
blue knight as he represents them
during the ceremonial procession
and games.
The Count and Countess of
Perelada, who preside over the
games and banquet, greet the
arriving guests. Their costumes are
exquisite as arc their manners.
The next adventure takes the
guests into a hall of torture. Here
over 30 authentic reproductions of
instruments of torture and ridicule
used during the Middle Ages are
displayed.
In this room are devices that
were commonly found in Spanish
dungeons and jails. Items of cruelty
like the "Rack" and the "Interrogation Chair" to items o f humiliation
like "Scolds Bride:" and "The

room is very interesting the additional $2 charged for the tour seems
excessive.

As guests enjoy their feast,
colorfully attired knights and

horsemanship are superb and the
knights are true virtuosos of lance

success of the show and our safety
is practice, practice; practice."

L ARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER
These days, the world is no stranger to surges of
nationalism. The Baltic states are discovering their own
identity, as East Germany tries to reclaim a unified
nationalist pride that abated for decades,
But with all the attention on the ¡Eastern Block
countries, Dr. Hank Johnston, professor of Sociology at Cal State San Marcos, says a region of
nationalist pridein the world today goes virtually
unnoticed.
The region is Catalonia, a smallstate in Spain
that has kept a sense of nationalist ^ride through
4 0 years of oppression.

"Nationalism is often an expression of
economic problems," says Johnston. "In
Catalonia we cannot underestimate how
important a basic cultural identity is to a
people."

view of nationalism than that which is
played out on Americans news* broach.

Catalonia 1939-1979', the book may be the only one of
its kind in the English language.
"The book is about how Catalonians were able to
preserve cultural identity despite apolice state," Johnston
states.

He says that under the Franco regime, Spain had a
more oppressive ^ystem of government than the Soviet
Union. C&talcnA^and Basques, for instance, were forced
to speak Spanish rather than their own languages. Tft&se
not speaking Spanish were arrested.
Yet, Catalonians were able to preserve their unique
culture and bring it back through democratic methods
after the Franco reign ended.

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL •
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2 7 , 1 9 9 1
First annual festival promotes cultural understanding
In an effort to help promote international understanding in the North
County community, a Japanese firm
last year announced the creation of a
$500,000 endowment to establish an
annual international festival.
The endowment, the largest gift
given to Cal State San Marcos to date,
constituted the primary funding for
the first CSUSM International Festival.
At an evening reception held Sept.
25, 1990, for 500 area business and
community l eaders, Y oshihiko
Kawamura, president of Itoman &
Company, Ltd., presented a check for
$50,000 to CSUSM's President Bill
Stacy. The check represented the first
annual increment to fund the International Festival.
The purpose of the yearly event is
to promote public understanding of
other nations' business and culture.
" We a rc becoming a global
cconomy and must prepare future
generations of leaders to operate in an
i nternational
e nvironment,"
Kawamura said when presenting the
initial check to Stacy.
" We are aware of your new
university's special, if not unique,
mission to train your students to succeed in the international marketplace.
As your new neighbors, we want to
help." Kawamura said.
The Japanese trading firm will
contribute $50,000 each year for the
next decade as an endowment to
provide permanent financing for the
annual festivals. The festival will
move to the permanent campus next
year upon the completion of Phase I
of construction.
Stacy said the $500,000 endowment i s the largest gift to date for his
university and certainly among the
largest gifts for any public college or
university.
"An endowment of this size will
contribute greatly to helping our university in San Marcos meet its international mission," Stacy said.
"We're especially delighted an international company the size and
stature of Itoman is the benefactor,"
he said.
With annual sales worldwide of $5
billion, Itoman is a specialty trading
company dealing in foodstuffs, metals and machinery, leisure and real
estate.
Last November, Stacy met with
several community and university
members to start the process of creating the first festival. Dr. Donald
Funes, professor of Arts and Sciences
and chair of the festival committee,
said their discussion then was to determine "what a festival was."
"We had to learn how to do it,"
Funes said.
The committee entitled the first
festival "Our Global Village" with
their initial plans of creating different
V^O/UX4>OfLALQy
areas where performers and food and
craft vendors of like cultures would
gather.
"The problem was we didn't have
enough space," Funes said. He also
cited the difficulty of obtaining enough
vendors fro every culture to be represented.
In early spring, 1991, the committee altered its original plan and now
has three main villages: a main performance area, foods and crafts.
Funes said the performers were easy
to find. "The concerts went together
quite quickly," he said.
Bonnie Biggs, CSUSM librarian,
organized the entertainment end of
the festival. Funes said her organizational experience with the American
Indian CulturalFair and other festivals
were a tremendous advantage.
Performers include Lion dancers,
Japanese Taiko drum/dance ensembles, mariachis, a Middle Eastern
Hajji Baba group, traditional blues
artists and an Afro-Cuban dance band.
In the original plans, the vendors
were faced with problems regarding
certain food regulations. To avoid li-
ability with private groups providing
food, the committee decided to allow
only commercial vendors to participate in the festival.
The third village of the festival got
a late start
"The crafts kept sliding to the back
burner," Funes said.
A.S. Council member Venus Van
Handel approached the committee in
April and volunteered her time to
organize the craft vendors.
"We have real cultural diversity in
the cultural groups that are involved,"
Van Handel said.
Vietnam, China, Ireland, the Philippines, Latin America, Mexico,
Puerto Rico, Turkey, the Ukraine and
Native American communities are
represented Van Handel said.
Funes said the committee is expecting festival attendance to reach
between 3,000 and 4,000 people.
Although the public is encouraged
to attend, Funes said the festival is
primarily for the students and their
families. A large portion of those
expected to attend would be students
if they came w^th their families.

Papa John Creach, the 74-year-old
jazz violinist, has been a major force
in American popular music of the
20th century - including traditional
and modern jazz, Blues, Country and
Rock & Roll.
Ever since he began playing with
the Jefferson Airplane inT970, Papa
John has defied pat musical classification. Other rock credits include stints
with Jefferson Starship, San tana and
Hot Tuna. He recendy returned from
an eastern seaboard tour with the
Grateful Dead.
Papa John learned how to play violin when he was very young from an
uncle and learned to read music from
his sister. He went on to study classical violin at conservatories in Chicago
and Los Angeles. He is widely known
for his mastery of mainstream jazz,
rhythm & blues, boogie, funk and
traditional blues. Because Papa John
has performed with everyone from
Nat Cole to George Winston, his fans
are as varied in bacl!|ground as are his
musical contributions.

J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
The concept ofa new Town Center mirroring
Cal State San Marcos may become a reality
soon with the expected appointment of an
architect by the end of November.
"We hope to sign an architect within the
month," San Marcos' Assistant City Manager
Paul Malone said.
Malone said the Town Center will be located
on Twin Oaks Valley Road on the north side of
Highway 78, opposite the permanent university
site.
"The Civic Center will have a vertical
compliment to the university," Malone said in
reference to CSUSM's clock tower. He said
since San Marcos doesn't really have a
downtown, the university and Town Center's
construction, both visible from the freeway,
would give an educational and civic presence.
The center will include a library, city hall,
community center, a theater, possibly retail
offices, a hotel and houses.
"If we lease some of this area to business,"
Malone said, "then it will pay for itself in the
long ran."
The city is working with the Koll Company

NCTD switches to monorail track
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Officials with the North County Transportation District agreed Thursday to match
San Marcos' commitment to study a monorail system that will serve the permanent
campus of California State University, San Marcos.
NCTD board members agreed to spend $5,000 to study alternatives for a light-rail
commuter train travelingfromOceanside to Escondido. The dollar figure matches the
donation from the city of San Marcos which is pushing for a monorail system.
The transit district's current plans include a trolley system similar to the San Diego
trolley. This commuter line would use already in place train tracks crossing the North
County area.
Paul Malone, Assistant City Manager for San Marcos, said the current proposal only
needs some additions to the rails to make the commuter line operational - such as more
crossing signals and electric wires to power the trolley. The monorail system would
require a whole new set of elevated tracks.
The transit district has shied awayfromthe additional costs of elevating a new track
line because of the costs involved. Malone, however, said NCTD will recover its
investment
Malone said the university has played a major role in getting the idea of a mass transit
rail system in North County rolling. "The university is what makes it feasible this early
in time," he said.

Threats of rain and increment
weather loomed over Sunday's First
International Festival, but worries
abated when the weekend's storm
front lifted, yielding to clear skies.
Cal State San Marcos officials estimated that the event brought about
3,500 people eager to experience the
atmosphere of a "Global Village."
The festival began on schedule at
11 a.m., showcasing such performers
as Papa John Creech, Chinese Lion
Dancers and Mariachis. Local restaurants specializing in international
cuisine and arts and crafts vendors
were also on hand for the event.
Sunday's festival brought to closure nearly a year of planning by the
university. Funding for theevent came
from the Itoman International Company last year, when a $500,000 endowment was awarded to the college.
Itomanapportioned$50,000of the
gift for the first festival and will put
forth similar amounts over the next
nine years to fund upcoming festivals.

"This was a good gauge of the

in the region are over their college."
The weekend's events, however,
were threatened by rains on Friday
and Saturday.
Due to the high cost of rain insurance, the college made a last-minute
decision to erect canopies over craft

remain uncertain as to when the requirement will be implemented.

the importance of a language requirement cannot be understated.

Barbara Pender and Pat Ward display the cover of Cal State San Marcos'firstyearbook,
Tukut
Yearbook due out Nov. 13
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Even though Cal State San Marcos'
first academic year has come and gone,
students, staff and faculty will have
the opportunity to relive last year's
experiences when Tukut, CSUSM's
official yearbook, becomes available
next month.
Yearbook Editor Barbara Pender
said t hat, according to contract
stipulations with Taylor Publishing,
the book will be completed and delivered by Nov. 13. Pender also said
that Taylor, who is currently ¡Minting
and binding the yearbook, could possibly finish its work on the book earlier
than the November deadline.
Last week, Pender and yearbook
partnerPat Ward received a completed
yearbook cover. Pender said she
wanted the cover to represent the
traditional values and new idealisms
by which the university' sfirststudents
were guided.
To achieve this effect, Pender and
Ward went to Orange County in May
to meet with Taylor's design staff.
Together they came up with a cover
that has a marble-like texture laid
adjacent to blue leather. The current
emblem of the university, a drawing
of a mountain lion, is embossed on the
cover.
"The cover represents the culmination of reality," Pender said. "We
now have something tangible to represent our efforts. It looks damned
good."
Pender said the guts of the yearbook will consist of 72 pages ai?d an
eight-page fold-outcenter spread. She
said the first sixteen pages will be
printed in full color with blue spot
color printed throughout the book.
Photographs for the yearbook were
taken by Pender and Ward. Other
pictures were garnered from the
college's archives and files ofPioneer.
According to Pender, 400 copies
of the yearbook are being printed,
even though only 239 were sold last
semester.
Of those sold, Pender said only
130 were bought by students. The
others were purchased by CSUSM
faculty and administration.
"Once people see how beautiful
this looks, i t's going to move fast,"
Pender said.
Last semester, reservations for the
yearbook were sold for $25. Because
the participation was low, printing the
book has a higher per-volume cost
than it would have been with a higher
printing run.
As a result, those who want one of
the 161 remaining copies will have to
fork out $35. Pender said this price is
still $8 below the cost of printing.
Funding for the book was found
through fund-raising, paid subscriptions and a $10,000donation from the
University Foundation.
Pender said that once those who
pre-paid for the annual get their copies, the remainder of the yearbooks
will be placed on sale through the
Cashier's Office.
Even though a date and location
has not been formally set, Pender said
she hopes to have a signing party after
distribution. She said that because of
uncertainties about when the yearbook
will arrive, a party has not yet been
planned.
Pender said she is looking forward
to next year's yearbook, but added
that its look ajid content will be determined after reaction to the first
-edition is gauged.
" We've gone through so much
trouble to makesure that everyone on
the campus was covered," she said.

When fully implemented, Malone
said 20 percent of the riders would
potentially consist of CSUSM students.
"We've always thought ahead of
how to control traffic congestion,"
Malone said. Mass transit is the way
the city decided to handle the traffic
generated by the university'spresence.
"Our compliments to the university
administration for accepting this idea,"
Malone said. CSUSM is the only
university in California to accept the
concept of a trolley serving the campus. Malone said UCSD has refused
the service for years. CSUSM, however, included it in the master plan of
the university campus.
"This is a real good example of the
university and city relationship
working together," Malone said.
The commuter line's San Marcos
stops include a station in front of
Palomar College. A new track will be
constructed between San Marcos
Blvd. and Woodland Pkwy.; stops on
this track will include the new site of
San Marcos' City Hall complex and
the university. The last stop within
the city will be on Nordahl Road.
San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau
offered the initial alternative study
idea to the City Council.
The transit district approved the
commuter line Sept. 12 despite
Thibadeau's objection to the trolley
idea. The commuter line is scheduled
to open in 1995, but may be delayed a
few years according to Malone.

the develop the center. "We've hired
their expertise in management and
development," Malone said. "We
acknowledged early on that we need
assistance with management."
Malone said the city staff is not
trained in building a large development such as the 60-acre civic center.
Koll was chosen through a developers' competition. Twelve companies responded to the competition and
after interviews and company reviews,
four were selected to construct a
conceptual drawing of the center.
"Koll brings extensive, national
experience in mixed use development
to this project and is well respected in
e industry for its ability to deliver both
on time and within budget," Rick
Gittings, City Manager of San Marcos,
wrote in a newspaper column recendy.
"It is exactly this kind of 4 performance' mentality that the city hopes
to bring to development of the Town
Center project"
Currently, the site is being filled
with dirt The entire 60 acres must be
raised before construction can begin.
Malone said the filling came earlier then planned, but the city was
offered fill dirt at no cost.
Another company needed to get
rid of excess dirt and would only
charge for hauling and compacting
the dirt
"It ended up being less then half of
what we budgeted," Malone said.
"We'rejust trying to spend the public's
money wisely."
IMMUNIZATIONS N EEDED...
Adults forget disease dangers
O ct 27 through Nov. 2 is National Adult Immunization Awareness Week. The American College
Health Association and 53 other
health care and consumer organizations as well as government health
agencies are sponsoring this program to urge all adults to obtain the
appropriate immunizations in order
to prevent needless illness and even
fatalities.
Recently, college students have
become aware of the need for
measles vaccinations because of the
mandatory requirements by institutions such as CSU San Marcos.
On the other hand, many students still believe that the immunizations they received as a child will
protect them for life.
Others aren't certain of what
vaccinations they generally need or
which ones they have received or
new vaccines that have become
available recently.
Here are some facts quoted from
the American College Health
Association's newsletter
• Of the 27,672 measles cases
reported in the U.S. in 1990,62,207
(22.5 percent) occurred in persons
20 years of age and older; 27 or 89
(30.3 percent) measles deaths provisionally reported in 1990 were
HEALTHNOTES
BY
DR.
JOEL
GRINOLDS
among 20 years of age and older.
• In 1990 more than 1,000 rubella cases were reported in the
U.S.; a provisional total of 23 children were born with congenital
rubella-related birth defects.
• American's lose more than
15 million work days annually as a
result of illness from influenza although each year an effective influenza vaccine is available.
• 200,000-300,000 new cases
of hepatitis B infection occur in the
U.S. each year, with 6-10 percent
becoming chronic hepatitis B carriers although a safe, effective vaccine is available.
• Up to one half of Americans
over 30 years of age are inadequately immunized against tetanus and diphtheria. Despite the
availability of safe and effective
vaccines, there are still on average
50 cases of tetanus resulting in at
least 10 deaths annually in the U.S.
Students frequently don't realize that they are vulnerable and
even at higherriskthan the general
public for contracting certain vaccine-preventable diseases.
The best example of this is the
measles: however, influenza also
can be rapidly spread throughout a
college campus.
Students who have chronic
medical problems such as asthma,
cardiac disease, diabetes, kidney
disease are at highestriskfor influenza. Others who care for high-risk
persons and health care workers
should also be vaccinated.
Although not considered high
risk, any student who works with
the public and especially with children should consider getting vaccinated in order to minimize the
disruption of routine activities during an influenza outbreak.
Immunizations work. The
eradication of smallpox from the
face of the Earth is a shining example. Consult your health care
provider or S tudent Health Services
for information regarding your need
to be fully protected through available vaccines.

Stop the presses: ghosts may be gone from Fallbrook paper
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
They tell Stories Of ghosts and
hev

mischievous disappearances. But for
the employees at the Fallbrook Enterprise these stories aren't told around
a campfire; they are told in the office.
The place isn't mythical; it's in the
office itself. And the stories aren't
imagined.
The Enterprise is haunted.
Among the staff members of the
weekly newspaper, a man, a woman
and a girl roam the halls and rooms of
the 50-year-old building. This is one
of thefindingsof Alexandra Andrews,
a psychic who visited the newspaper
in 1989.
"It's strange," said Donna Spicer,
office manager for the Classified
Advertising Department. She said
some of the occurrences with ghosts
are more weird than frightening.
Spicer is quick to point out things
that aren't usual mishaps. For instance,
her typewriter - an old manual would be switched to triple space
every night. Spicer always types in
single space.
"There are things that can't be attributed to anyone in the building,"

It would be ffound on the top shelf of

A file would be gone. Spicer and
her entire staff would look for it to no
avail. This is not an instance of overlooking something, since it would be
back where it was supposed to be at a
later time.
Computers would be turned on.
Things would be missing. Items would
be moved.
"It's kind of an accepted fact that
when something is missing, it was
just the ghost," Spicer said.
But that isn't the only proof of
spiritual beings in the building. And it
didn't take Andrew's readings to let
them know either.
"I did see the child," Texanna
Schaden recalls.
In 1987, before the building was
remodeled and Schaden worked in a
different department, she would come
i na Sunday's to do work by herself.
On her way in one day, she saw a girl
with a long dress and long hair using
a computer in one of the offices. After
Schaden put her stuff down at her
desk - a brief moment - she returned to

The girl was gone. The computer
was cold, as if no one had been there.
"I didn't stay around too long after
that," Schaden said. Schaden saw the
girl the next weekend and again a few
years later.
Andrews does not sense any harm
from the people. The
ghosts just have
fun.
" It's s ort of
m ischievous,"
Spicer said, "like
a poltergeist."
Sally Larsen,
a former camera
technician, stars
in a lot of the stories told.
She worked in the small, old camera room. Before the remodel, employees would have to walk a narrow,
dark hallway, enter the dark room and
fumble around tofindthe light switch.
Without ghosts, the journey is frightening enough; but with the legends of
spirits, the hallway becomes terrifying.
In the small room, only big enough

The only "menacing"» story is when
the man appeared with Larsen and
started throwing things down and
unscrewing lights.
The girl has pulled on Larsen's
clothes and hair. Some stories interpret this as mischief. Others tells a
tale of t rying to
communicate with
the living.
Andrews
says t hat one
theory of ghosts
includes ai*
tempts by the
dead to communicate with
the living. Another theory, Andrews says, is the
spirit stays when a person dies unexpectedly; the soul doesn't know it's
supposed to leave.
This second theory is used frequently when explaining how the three
spirits reside at the newspaper facility.
Before the newspaper offices were
constructed, the site was home to a
gas station. Spicer recalls a story of an

^
Photographer Dick O'Brien tells a
story of a flu epidemic taking the lives
of the man and girl and the woman
dying later.
But through all the stories, one
constant remains. The man and the
girl died together; the woman years
later.
O'Brien is an old colleague of
Andrews and arranged the first psychic reading of the Enterprise office.
This first visit serves as the base to
most ghost stories at the Enterprise.
But the second visit by Andrews is not
known by as many people and is not
included in all the tales.
About six months after the initial
visit, Andrews returned with O'Brien
and a friend one night Andrews went
in alone.
After a cup of coffee and 20 minutes of conversation, Andrews returned to O'Brien and hisfriend."Are
they gone? What did you do?" they
asked.
"They will bother you no more,"
she replied. Spicer and Schaden said
they have had nothing missing, moved
or tampered with for over a year.

Women will benefit from good tip
There is a thing that some of we women are doing to each other
that, as a group, we need to examine. We have developed a
reputation for not tipping well in restaurants.
There are many reasons why women may not tip well. We
may not be able to tip as well as men because we don't earn as
much. That would be the kindest reason. But it's not a good one.
If we can't afford to tip in the correct percentage to what we spend
on our meal, we ought to go to a less expensive place.
Another reason given is that many feel we have not been
served as well as we should have been, so we pinch back on the
tip. So why aren't we being served well?
Many waitresses will freely admit they pay more attention to
a table full of men than one peopled by women; because women
don't tip well.
Let's consider the domino effect this has on our reputations
and on the service we receive as well.
Waitresses don't serve womepweUbecaus^they don't expect
much of a tip. Women^on't i ip well because they feel ignored.

STAFF EDITORIAL
p robably
remembers the ride well. His vision of San Marcos seems to
comerightout of Disneyland. Yet, Thibadeau's wishing upon
a star might not appease the County' s conservative critics who
think the mayor is lost in dreamland.
With his controversial conception of a trash-burning plant
came the progressive idea of a trash-recycling center. Such a
center would separate trash into recyclables and nomecyclables,
thereby alleviating congestion in San Marcos' landfill.
But the County's Board of Supervisors didn't buy the idea.
It was just too controversial to deal with.
Thibadeau's latest idea is to put a monorail system in San
Marcos to serve a growing commuter population. If you've
ever been to Disneyland, you know that monorails are, clean,
quick and efficient
But monorails are also expensive. Putting such a system in
would require construction of an elevated track system and
almost double the cost of the nearest commuter competitor, a
tram.
Finding the space for a monorail is another problem. A
tram, similar to the system in San Diego, would run on tracks
which already exist Putting in a system here would place
minimal cost on the city.
One reason for the mayor's zeal to add a progressive flair
to San Marcos is the growing college community. As Cal State
San Marcos grows, new businesses will arrive along with a
largo- population.
Thibadeau believes that by making a state-of-the art
community, more and more of those businesses will be
inspired to build here. In fact, the CSU system chose San

person must be willing to share his/
her energies if an accurate reading
is to be given.
Mrs. Jenny likens psychic
readings to hypnotism, in that a
person can only be read if he/she
wants to be read.
"You have to have an open mind
when you come in here," she says.
Mrs. Jenny first recognized her
extra-sensory talents when she was
a child. She sees the ability as a
natural God-given talent that has
been passed down from generation
to generation. She says her mother,
grandmother and great grandmother
held the talent in their lifetimes.
"To us (ESP) is not so unusual.
Other children would find the talent
a little scary," she says. "But when
you are born with it, it is very
natural. It isn't something I developed or studied, rather it was passed
down from generation to generation."
Mrs. Jenny says that every
person is born with some degree of
extra-sensory perception, but many

suppress the urge to use it.
"Every human being on this
Earth has ESP. A lot of people
know they have it but are scared to
talk about it," Mrs. Jenny says.
"Now police and people in many
directions turn to psychics."
The office where Mrs. Jenny
performs her readings is small and
filled with a variety of different
religious statues, paintings and
symbols. She says that all of the
religious icons in her office were
given to her by people who have
received readings from her.
Mrs. Jenny says that psychic

as many people believe, but a
manifestation of God-given talents.
'There is a God and there is an
evil. How can there not be a God
when we have green leaves and
beautiful things? It is God who
gives us the miracles of the Earth,"
she says.
She sees all religions as paying
homage and worship to the same
god. Buddhism, Christianity and
other religions all might have
different names for the divine
entity, but in the end all worship the
same God.
Ultimately, Mrs. Jenny says that
the powers of God will overcome
the forces of evil in the world. But
she also says that there are hard
times ahead for the future of
humankind.
She says the events in the
Eastern Block countries are just a
precursor of hard times to come.
"There will be much more
difficulty before it turns to getting
better," she says. "It's going to get a
lot worse before it gets better. But
when it does get better, there's
going to be more love and harmony
in communication with the whole
world."
She indicates that these worldwide changes will take place in the
next four or five years.
Mrs. Jenny says that most people
in the world are sceptical about
psychic powers. The majority Of the
people she sees are nonbelievers
who come in with a doubting frame
of mind.
She says that some of those
people have to discover answers for
themselves and find their own
futures.

Tarot cards were first developed in the 1500s as a method of
divining the future. At first cards consisted of a simple deck of
playing cards. In the centuries since, tarot decks have become
colorful and utilize highly artistic drawings to convey the
feelings and predictions associated with each card.
In the twentieth century, hundreds of different tarot
decks are available.
The cards are meant to pick up psychic energies from
the questioner or querant The reader, or diviner, then
lays the cards out and interprets the readers psychic
energies through the cards.
A 72-card deck of tarots has two different
sections.
The Major Arcana are 22 trump cards, usually
numbered from 0 to 21 and displaying names
such as "Death" or "The Fool."
The Minor Arcana contain four suits of
fourteen cards each, ace through 10 and four
court cards: king, queen, knight and page.
Usually, the suits are swords, wands, cups and
pentacles.
Each card in the deck has two meanings, decided by the
position of the card to the diviner. When the card isright-sideup to
the diviner, the soothsayer reads a "divinatory" meaning. Reverse
meanings are read for cards upside-down to the diviner.
Since most people are familiar with the cards of the Major
Acana, here is the complete descriptions of each's meanings:
0 THE FOOL
Divinatory Meanings: Thoughtlessness. Folly. Extravagance. Lack of discipline. Immaturity. Irrationality.

II THE HIGH PRIESTESS
Divinatory Meanings: Wisdom. Sound Judgement. Common
sense. Serenity. Objectivity. Penetration. Foresight Intuition.
Perception. Self-reliance. Emotionlessness. Platonic relationships.
Reverse Meanings: Ignorance. Shortsightedness. Selfishness.
Passion. Physical ardor. Acceptance of superficial knowledge.
Improper judgement
III THE EMPRESS
Divinatory Meanings: Feminine progress. Fruitfulness.
Accomplishment. Mother. Sister. Wife. Marriage. Children.
Feminine influence. Ability to motivate others. Practicality.

interest. Lack of concentration. Indecision. Delay.

Fortune-teller brings future
to the surface with cards
Each of us experiences thrills on
a day-to-day basis, when life brings
a new shock around each turn of
fate. In our minds we know that
destiny can terminate our mortality
in the instantaneous screech of car
brakes or it can amass fortune and
glory upon a long prosperous life.
Discovering the slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune can be
almost as painful andfrighteningas
those weapons' physical wounds.
With this in mind, I met with Mrs.
Jenny, a psychic located in Escondido, with mote than a little anxiety.
Mrs. Jenny offers three types of
readings: psychic readings based on
perceptions of the individual as a
whole; palm readings, which rely
on the lines and formations of the
entire hand; or tarot card readings.
I figured that after three cups of
• coffee, a psychic reading might
reveal that I was hyperactive and
would live a very short, frenetic
life. The palm reading was out
because I hate people to discover
that I chew my nails.
For me, the tarot card reading
seemed the most mysterious of the
three. If nófRing else, having one's
future foretold by a deck of cards
makes for delicious metaphor.
Six years ago, I had a card
reading from Mrs. Jenny which
turned out to be remarkably correct
I'm not saying I necessarily believe
in the luck of the draw, but the
- coincidence of occurrence with her
predictions was astounding.
Back then, Mrs. Jenny read that I
would return to school, marry a faircomplected woman who would bear
one or six of my children and start
writing again.
Much to my delight, all of these
predictions either came true or are
currently in progress (I am pretty
certain my fair-complected wife
will bear only one of my kids).
I can't tell you the predictions at
my recent go at psychic counseling
(doing so might effect the outcome
of the readings), but I can share
with you my own sensory perceptions on the event.
The room where the readings
take place is filled with religious
statues and pictures, making the
jymosphere feel warm and friendly.

warmth.
I sat only a few feet from the
augur, facing her through the entire
reading. On a table to her right sat
two decks of cards.
She chose an old, worn deck
that, at first glance, appeared to be a
normal stack of playing cards.
However alT the cards (even the
hearts and diamonds) were printed
in black ink. On each card was
etched a picture.
Mrs. Jenny said the cards were
one of two decks left in the world.
I cut the deck three times,
supposedly transferring my energies
into the deck, then chose one stack
for the reading.
On the table, she laid out nine
cards from the stack in three rows.
The seer then explained the mean-*
ing of each card.
Many people misperceive
psychic readings as a one-way
conversation where the reader does
all the talking while the readee nods
in amazement. Actually, the psychic
asks many questions to help guide
the flow of predictions.
With each card came questions.
After I forwarded the answers to the
best of my ability, Mrs. Jenny
would proceed to analyze my
response and tell me an event that
was yet to come.
Some critics maintain that
psychics hold intuitive powers that
are by no means extra-sensory.
Their training simply conditions
them to seek out what people need
in an answer. Fortune-tellers simply
tell them what they want to hear.
Just face it, when customers hear
a positive future they will be
pacified and happy. The fortuneteller earns a few dollars and
everyone is happy.
I left the reading not really
knowing if Mrs. Jenny's power lies
with psychic intuition or years of
training. Whatever it may be, it left
me feeling a little more secure
about the future and confident in
myself.

D EBBIE DUFFY/PIONEER
Have you ever attempted working
on a piece of art and had it fall apart in
your hands?
John Raggio! has.
Raggio! loves working with clay,
but his first try at creating a perfect
clay pot ended up thrust against a
wall.
Deciding to createaworkablepiece
of art out of a failed piece of clay pot,
Raggio! developed faces with eyes, a
nose and a large mouth with teeth.
Raggio! says his mouths "open an
avenue to spirit. Everything does not
need to be perfect, the artist can enjoy
the beauty of asymmetricalness."
These pieces of art - these mouths
- prove that art does not have to be
perfect and symmetrical. Art can be
fun and loved. Raggio! believes that
"breaking away" from the symmetrical mold can help people "enjoy the
avenue (they) are paving."
Raggio! teaches this philosophy to
his students, who range from 5 years
old to adult. His love for living and his
lust for art portrays itself in his work
and in his students' works.
Not all of Raggio's! art includes
clay. One work is a large white piece
of wood with a black wooden stand
holding three shapes of different
colors. The shapes are round, square
and triangular; together they look like
a rocket ready for launch with blue,
yellow and red colors.
The blue, red and yellow colors are
also splashed on the white background, while the three shapes "break
away" from the black stand. Raggio!
calls this piece his "Primary TakeOff."
His belief that one has to detach
oneself from convention in order to
enjoy the freedom of art is reflected in

this work. The colors break free from
the black base and shoot upwards
toward creativity and away from
mediocrity.
Raggio's favorite medium is clay.
It moves, molds and shapes to his
desires. Within his backyard he has
large ceramic figures displayed in a
circular pattern. These works come in
different stages of his experimentations with clay.
Some sculptures are coils of clay,
some are loosely-shaped figures of

Raggio's! creations are his life. He
calls them his "flowing forms" and he
"lives as clean as he does." Raggio!

Umbrellas' brings attention to nature
K EN B AURMEISTER/PI O N EER
It's Christo time!
The French artist's current project
"Umbrellas" consists of 3,100 blue
and yellow umbrellas, erected in Japan and California simultaneously.
Each umbrella stands 20 feet tall and
weighs 488 pounds.
Every time the art project is mentioned somebody would inadvertently
come up with a brilliant "why?" and
thousands of ways the $26 million
cost of the project could be better
spent. "Why not feed and/or help the
poor" was the favorite response.
What people do not realize is that
Christo is exactly doing that. He is
helping the people poor in openmindedness by feeding them something for which they have absolutely
no capacity ofdigesting. He is showing
that the human eye will eventually get
so accustomed to a bridge, building,
river gorge, islands, or rolling hills
that it turns blind.
In Paris he wrapped Pont Neuf, a
bridge spanning the river Seine, in
pink cloth and rope. Christo wrapped
something the Parisians were so used
to as not to take any notice anymore.

All they saw was something in the
shape of the bridge, but not the bridge
itself. After removing the wrap, Parisians started to notice the bridge again.
After all, it was the bridge that Christo
took away from them for three weeks.
The same motives generated the
inspiration for "Umbrellas."
I have driven the Grapevine often,
and I realized after seeing the 1,760
yellow umbrellas how "blind" I became to the beautiful countryside.
Changing the landscape so dramatically with those umbrellas is more
powerful than hiding i t With something hidden, the memory of the
original is not distorted. With the
original distorted and in plain view,
one cannot remember what the
unmanipulated version looked like.
The next time I drive across the
Grapevine without the umbrellas will
be a new experience. I will see a new
landscape.
The "Umbrellas" project's gigantic and timed scope parallels its eyeopening mission. The project takes
place in the western, as well as the
eastern hemispheres. Even the Hubble
space telescope looking through apair
of binoculars could see only half of
the project at a time.
Driving through the project, only
about a quarter is actually visible.
Christo used 1,760 umbrellas in
California - as many yards there are in
a mile. The Japanese segment is 75
north of Tokyo. Here they are 60
north of Los Angeles.
Each segment's separation equals
16 time zones, Christo oversaw the
umbrellas' unfurling on the same
calender day and time. Tokyo is 16
hours ahead of Los Angeles; Christo
simply opened the umbrellas in the
early morning in Japan, flew to L.A.
and opened the parasols here exactly
the same time as in Japan. The coordination and planning of this little
time-zone play was perfect

We need academics, but we also need our brains to create. He believes
that everyone must learn to use both parts of the brain in order to
understand that life does not have to be perfect, but loved.
Raggio! woks with an after-school art program in San Diego to show
children that art does not have to be perfect, but that they "have to learn
to use their own personal computers." He is called the "clay man" in the
program.
He also is having a one-man show named "Breaking Through" on the
first Saturday in February at the Art Site Gallery in San Diego.
Raggio's! gallery and studio are located at 3630 California Street,

away from a world of symmetrical conformity.
dot the landscape in a seemingly entropic order. Some are so far away, as
to be only ochre points on ridges;
others cast yellowish shadows on the
freeway because they are mounted on
overpasses.
One area of the "Umbrellas" meandered through a cow and horse
pasture. Under one large oak tree a
dozen or so cows enjoyed the shade,
contently chewing their cud, completely ignoring the symmetrical
shadow cast by the umbrellas.
Wherever umbrellas stand close to
parking areas, visitors congregate
under them, enjoying picnics.
It seems all enjoy the environmental art. I enjoy it too. Not only am
I thoroughly impressed by the "Umbrellas," I also came up with an answer for all those critics and their
favorite "why" question.
Because! Art does not need a rational, art may exist for art's sake. So
what if it costs $26 million. It is
Christo's money, and he can do with
it what he wants.
We have to encourage this type of
"outside thinking." We can't afford
not to.

The most decadent items on the
menu are the desserts. You cannot
leave The Lite House Cafe without
tasting the hot fudge cake.
A warm piece of fudgy-chocolaty
cake is piled high with soft serve ice
cream (without sugar and calories of
course). The entire work of art is then
topped with warm fudge syrup. At
only six grams of fat and 210 calories
per serving, the hot fudge cake piles
on the flavor without the guilt.
Prices at The Lite House Cafe
outshine most other restaurants with
meals ranging from $4.95 to $6.95.
The owners, Steve and Heidi Turner
(who is a student at Cal State San
Marcos), promote a comfortable and
friendly atmosphere while simultaneously providing healthy, nutritious
and delicious food.
The Lite House Cafe is located in

Do you crave a restaurant that provides a beacon of excellence in a sea
of fast food? If you do, then try The
Lite House Cafe in Oceanside.
All of the food prepared at the Lite
House Cafe has low fat, low calories,
wholesome ingredients, no preservatives, no additives and no sugar or
salts. In addition to adhering to these
criteria, The Lite House serves tantalizing, mouth-watering fare.
Two of my favorite dinners on the
menu are the Cajun chicken fettucine
and the sirloin steak sandwich.
The fettucine has large chunks of
chicken breast smothered in a creamy,
slightly spicy sauce and delicately
topped with parmesan cheese. I f ound'
it hard to believe they could get the
sauce to taste so wonderful with only
512 calories, nine grams of fat and
priced at only $5.95.
The steak sandwich is also a delicious treat. Marinated in special sauce,
the meat melts in your mouth. Served
on toasted sourdough bread with fresh
fruit and vegetables on the side, this
dinner has 410 calories, 14 grams of
fat and is only $6.95.
All meals are served with warm
sourdough tolls, and for an additional
$ 1.50, the salad bar or cup of soup can
be added to the meal.
The Lite House Cafe also offers a
breakfast menu, sandwiches, Mexican
dishes, many different chicken dishes,

Zombie flicks don't glamorize dead
I can't really explain my fascination with zombie movies.
Maybe I like them so much because
they illustrate humankind's neverending battle with death; where the
dead e scape t he b ounds of t he
netherworld to seek out and consume
the life from the living.
Unlike vampirefilms,where death
is glamorized and given graceful,
composed elegance, zombie films
depict death as ghoulish, clumsy and
decomposed. Death is represented as
a mindless, plodding state of .hunger.
Perhaps I like zombie movies because I have dated so many similar
creatures. Notice how the behavior of
most males at World Series time
identically emulates the behavior of
the undead.
I have never seen a zombie movie
thatratesparticularly high in the acting
category. The majority of the players
are extras painted over in wraithish
white or ghoulish green who are instructed to amble about clumsily in
search of human flesh.
If you are a video enthusiast willing to sacrifice acting, directing and
cinematography fox a good scare, then

might just do the trick.
Beginning with 'Night of the Living Dead' in 1968 and ending with
'Day of the Dead' in 1985, Romero
established himself as the chief purveyor of zombie lore. His trilogy explored the aspects of interplay between
the dead and the living as no other ' B'
horror films have.
When Romero made 'Night of the
Living D ead' he was a Hollywood
nobody with a tight budget Even
though color film was available,
Romero chose black and white film
because of its cheaper price and its
natural eerie contrast.
The film centers around seven
survivors trapped in a country house
(the owners had been eaten) while
minions of zombies pound on the
doors, walls and windows eager for a
hot meal.
The seven captives spend their
entire jail term bickering amongst
themselves about how to escape from
being the main course.

'Night of the Living Dead* moves
at a taught pace that pounds on the
viewers as relentlessly as the zombies
at the door. The film becomes a metaphor for the conflict between life and
death.
What really sets the movie above
all others of its genre is Romero's
continual use of irony .In at least three
key plot spots, the director uses ironic
situations to confirm that reason and
sanity will never be sufficient shields
against death. Romero's use of irony
is always surprising and often the
c atalyst f or a
nervous chuckle.
T he m ovie's
best part comes
when the ghouls
munch on t he
liver and intestines of an unfortunate victim. One zombie is even
shown gnawing on a detached hand.
If you thought 'Night of the Living
Dead' was gruesome, wait till you get
a load of 'Dawn of the Dead'.
This 1979 sequel came to the screen
11 years after the first film and is
easily the most fun in the series.

Center opens book on bilingual learning
R ICHARD BEETH/PIONEER
The Center for the Study of Books in Spanish
for Children and Adolescents endeavors to reach
out and assist organizations interested in meeting
the needs of young Spanish speaking readers.
As a resource aid, the center collects books in
Spanish for children and adolescents which are
published worldwide. Educators with the job of
purchasing Spanish language books for their
schools can travel to the center to see the books
first hand and to obtain advice on which ones
best meet their needs.
People travel great distances to see the Center
because it's the only one of its kind in the world.
Its story is interwoven with that of Dr. Isabel
Schon, its founder and director.
Schon started the center last year because she
felt a need to bring reading materials to Spanish
speaking children.
"If you can teach children to become critical
readers, youcan teach them to become critical
thinkers," she says.
One of Schon's missions for the center is to
lower the 60 percent dropout rate for Latinos in
the United States. The Center is part of her
method for achieving this goal and represents
the culmination of years of work in thefieldof
education.
According to Schon, Spanish speaking immigrants have existed at the "sink or swim"
level in American education. If children learned
to speak English as if they were "immersed" in
it, they had a chance at an education. If they
didn't learn, they started to "sink" and fell
behind.
Schon says that four generations of a 60
percent dropout rate attests to the lack of success
of this traditionally held method.
Research shows that if children can learn to
read in their native language first, they can
transfer to English successfully in about three
years.
There are many common sense reasons for
this rationale. Children that have grown up in a
Spanish-speaking environment find it easier to
learn to read in that language. Parents who
speak Spanish can also help their children with
lessons, giving the children a feeling of success.
Schon says this feeling encourages students
to feel better about themselves and thus be more
- comfortable in school. Schon says a heightened
sense of identity and self-worth is one of the
keys to transferring from one language to another
successfully. She stresses that a good bilingual
program teaches culture and history along with
language.
There are also cultural reasons why Spanish
speaking children may not have the love for
reading that most English speaking children do.
One reason, in Mexico for example, is that
libraries are rare throughout the country. The
city of Tijuana, for instance, has a population
over one million but has no libraries. Mexican
' public primary schools have tio libraries and-
New program addresses children's needs
A new statewide Center for Collaboration
for Children, dedicated to enhancing the
relationships among children, families, education and social services, will be established at California State University, Fullerton, CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz announced Oct. 10.
Funded in part from a $100,000 allocationfromthe Chancellor's lottery funds plus
grants from the Arco Foundation and Annie
E. Casey Foundation, the new Center will
operate under Dr. Mary Kay Tetreault,
CSUF's dean of the School of Human Development and Community Service. Sidney
Gardner will be the Center's director.
"There's a genuine need for a center to
address the needs of California's 7.8 million
children," Tetreault said. "We need to build
new bridges across the walls dividing academic and community groups to concentrate
on the whole child."
Goals of the Center include:
• Strengthening the role the CSU plays
in educating and graduating thousands of
teachers, social workers, counselors and
health and human services professionals.
• Working with faculty statewide to review theCSUcurriculum in education, health
and human services to assess how well it
provides professionals with the skills needed
to collaborate with professionals from other
children-related disciplines.
• Restructuring children's services and
public education in a way that would lead to
libraries in high schools are a relatively recent
development
Although the Mexican government has a
plantohave libraries in primary grades by 1994,
economic conditions may delay this.
Another reason for the lack ofreading among
Spanish speaking children is that many of the
books written for children in Spanish lack interest.
"Approximately 70 percent of books written
in Spanish for children are 'moralist* In other
words they teach 4how to be good'" says Schon.
"Many children don't grow up with a love for
reading because so many of the books are boring
and don't excite them."
With the burgeoning population of Spanish
speaking people in the United States, and especially Southern California, many schools have
foundthemselveswiththedifficulttaskofhaving
to stock libraries and classrooms with books in
Spanish.
The book center is becoming widely known
and publishers world-wide are anxious to send
books there because of the great exposure they
receive. •

new internships and programs placing students in settings where children and families
are served holistically.
• Incorporating models of multicultural
collaboration in ways that promote unity
rather than divide groups across racial and
ethnic boundaries.
• Providing in-service education and
other community services^hat encourage
public and private agencies to work together
rather than along lines that fragment and
sepárate the efforts of schools and other
children's services agencies.
• Conducting program and policy research to document what schools and state
and local governments have done and could
do to address the needs of children who are at
risk of failure.
The Center will be established immediately. Several CSU campuses will be involved in the system-wide program. The
CSU graduates some 10,000 students per
year in the children-services areas such as
education, social work, child development,
nursing and recreation.
"For too long schools have gone one way
and social service agencies have gone another," Munitz said. "This center will establish a multi-service approach to serving
children. California's children are the future
of CSU and the future of the state. We cannot
ignore their needs or those of their families.
We do that at the risk of failing our duty as
educators."
The center has collected nearly every book
written in Spanish for children that has been
published since 1989. Recently, a single shipment from Madrid brought 3,000 more copies.
Schon has been a consultant on bilingual/
bicultiiral educational materials to schools, libraries and ministries of education in Mexico,
Columbia, Guatemala, Argentina, Venezuela,
Chile, Spain, Italy, Ecuador and the United
States. She has received several national and
international a wards including the 1987
Women's National Book Award.
Along with conducting seminars and workshops for librarians and other educators, Schon
also works with area businesses and hospitals.
She has worked with nurses at Children's
Hospital, selecting books for Spanish speaking
children who stay there.
Another important function of thebook center
is to host an annual conference. The conference
will highlight significant issues concerning
reading and books for and about Hispanic/Latino
young readers. The conference will be held in
October of every year and will tie in with

CSUSM expands global
commitment to Africa
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Seeking to fulfill its Mission Statement of global understanding, Cal
State San Marcos, last week, sent a
delegation of administrators and
faculty to the country of Ghana.
The travelers, Dr. Dorothy Lloyd*
assistant dean of Education, Dr. Richard Millman, academic vice president and Dr. Komla Imoaku, professor of Fine Arts, l eft f or the African
country to exchange ideas and establish ties with the university there.
"We are discovering ways to implement our global society ambitions," said CSUSM President Bill
Stacy/'Students and faculty will have
to learn to be global citizens."
Stacy said that each individual
chosen for the mission represents a
different faction of the educational
process. Lloyd will seek methods of
helping Ghana mold teachers. Millman will concentrate on areas of the
curriculum relating to mathematics
and science, while Imoaku will share
his knowledge of art with African instructors.
Stacy said the the process of interaction is one of two-way dialogue.
The three delegates will not only
share their expertise, they will learn
from the perceptions and knowledge
of the Ghana educational system.
"We want to make international
communication relatively commonplace at San Marcos," said Stacy.
'We want to make international
communication relatively commonplace
at San Marcos.'
B ILL S TACY, C SUSM P RESIDENT
He indicated that many faculty
members already have traveled
throughout the world and share their
observations with other instructors.
In the future Stacy hopes to continue projects, such as the mission to
Ghana, by sending professors and
administrators around.the world in
search of new educational ideas and
heightened global understanding. He
hopes to strengthen ties with universities in Mexico, Canada, Japan,
China and Europe.
Stacy said he looks forward to the
day in the not-too-distant future when
he can send students abroad as well
as faculty in an exchange program
setting.
CSUSM also hopes to gain international perspectives by becoming a
point of visitation for universities
world-wide.
This week an Anglican faculty
delegation from Cambridge University will visit the campus to learn of
the country's newest facility for
higher education.
Potentially CSUSM might o ffer
parallel courses to those taught at
Cambridge or other universities
around the world. Stacy said missions like the Ghana trip and the
Anglican visit serve as a vehicle to
bring in course ideas that might have
alluded the university.
; With the introduction of a stateof-the-art phone system at the Twin
Oaks Valley Road permanent campus site next year, Stacy said the
interchange of ideas between countries will b e facilitated. The system
will allow instantaneous audio-visual communications between universities around the world.
" We can establish a dialogue here
at CSUSM about w hat's happening
elsewhere," Stacy said. "Being there
(in Ghana) today is concrete proof
that this institution is serious about
global awareness."
Stacy was originally slated to go
to Ghana, but do the visit f rom the
Anglican delegation and other pressing university matters he chose to
stay in San Marcos.
" I d idn't go because of lack of
interest, things just needed to be done
at this institution," Stacy said.
Former instructor to read from newest novel
REGIWA JOHN/PIONEER
Former Cal State San Marcos English professor and published fiction
author Duff Brenna will read selections from his new book Wednesday
at 12:30 in the Student Lounge.
The widely published author has
won several national awards for his
short stories and poetry. Hisfirstnovel,
"The Book of Mamie', won much
critical acclaim and the Associated
Writing Programs Writing Award for
best novel in 1988. Brenna also received a National Endowment for the
Arts Fellowship in 1990.
Brenna's new book, 'In Another
Part of Heaven', addresses the loss of
innocence imposed on children by
adults. The theme is a recurring one in
Brenna's books.
"It is something I keep coming
back to," Brenna says, ''because I find
DUFFBRENNA/AUTHOR
it so disturbing. Children have to find
out that i t's a nasty world out there
soon enough."
Brenna says he feels that children
should be allowed their few years of
innocence. He has no understanding
for parents who raise their children in
a toxic environment of their making.
He says that children can still triumph o ver d ifficult upbringings
without turning into prostitutes and
m urderers. ' In A nother P art of
Heaven' i soneof hope for children as
is ' The Book of Mamie'.
In July of this year, Brenna sold the
movie rights for ' Mamie' to JTK
Productions of Canada and was hired
to write the movie's screenplay. This
finished, he spent time in Wisconsin
scouting for possible movie locations.
Jim Kaufman, owner of JTK Productions is due to arrive in California
shortly to begin movie preparations.

nation's greatest athletes announced he has the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Shortly after discovering that he was afflicted with HIV,
the virus that causes AIDS, Magic Johnson announced his
immediate retirement from the National Basketball Association. Unlike the vast majority of prominent AIDS victims,
Johnson contracted the deadly virus through heterosexual
contact
According to statisticsfromthe Center for Disease Control
(CDC), almost 91 percent of adult men who have been
diagnosed with AIDS through September 1991 became infected
by having sex with other men or through the use of intravenous
drugs.
Johnson represents only 3 percent of those males who have
contracted the virus through heterosexual contact
Before the heterosexual population climbs atop its soapbox
and claims that these statistics support their claim, is is
important to note that 34 percent of all female AIDS patients
contracted the disease through heterosexual contact
AIDS is a nondiscriminatory disease. We have seen it take
the life from children,friendsand loved ones. Since there is no
known cure for the disease, it is up to each of us to take steps
in preventing the spread of AIDS to the best of our abilities.
With the integrity and courage he has shown on the
basketball court, Johnson pleads to us all to take preventative
measures in stemming the tide of one of the nation's most
feared and deadly disease's.
Johnson's recommendation of safe sex is not a new one.
But now that one of the nation's true heroes has learned that
casual sexual contact can be deadly, it is a recommendation
worthy of further consideration.
Johnson brought a magic to the basketball court that few,
if any athletes, have been able to match. Out of respect for his
courage and integrity, we can all help Johnson bring that
magic to the fight against AIDS.

Basic courses essential at CSUSM
Finding an identity at Cal State San Marcos is a dilemma that
faces many students. Since the university is composed only of
commuter students, there are no dormitories or Greek organizations to keep pupils at its shopping center site.
Compounding the problem is the fact that many CSUSM
students are forced to travel outside of the campus to fulfill basic
lower-division classwork. Most of those students go to Palomar
or Mira Costa only by default
As a result a type of schizophrenia has developed with
students who are both CSUSM students and attendees of local
community colleges. A complete sense of identity is denied them
by their university of choice.
Since CSUSM offers only upper-division coursework, such a
situation is understandable. At this stage ofdevelopment, CSUSM
does not have the faculty or monetary support to accommodate
those extra courses.
But, at a university where each student is required to write a
minimum of2,500 words per-semester, per-class, it is absolutely
essential that some elementary coursework be offered.
CSUSM population demographics suggest that many students in attendance are returning from scholastic absence. For
some of those students a basic English, mathematics or science
course might have been fulfilled 10 years ago.
How can a university require students to readily assimilate
upper-division classwork with such a gap without presenting
some mode of refreshment?
Instructors have shared disappointment that student proficiency in writing competency is below upper-division competency. But when students have to wait three or four semesters to
get their basic English composition classes at Palomar, some
CSUSM .students might not havebeen able to, as of yet, meet

some CSUSM
students have
not been able to gain a seat. As a result, they meet their upperdivision biology or math theory classes with confusion.
In addition, CSUSM might be able to more readily meet state
Full Time Equivalent (FTE) percentages with just a meager
offering of lower-division classes. Many students at CSUSM are
full time, but their units are divided between two part-time course
loads.
All that is asked of the university is that they put one course
for English composition, one for basic biology and one for
college level mathematics on the schedule. These three courses
are the most impacted at community colleges and probably the
most lacking of CSUSM students.
If you are a student at CSUSM who is forced to take a lowerdivision required class elsewhere, then send a small cordial
complaint to Academic Vice President Richard Millman or your
department dean. Such an action will require much less effort
than finding parking at Palomar.
If enough students voice their concerns, then perhaps administration will see the benefits of such abasic accommodation.

C HIEF S EATTLE
A few weeks ago an issue arose in this

almost upon us, is worth considering in some
depth.
The big question I 'd like us to think about is
this; who does the woik for family reunions and

women's values?
The 20th century paradigm seems to be that
the women cook (Sometimes for days in advance) while the men get together in the living
room and watch football.
The washing-up afterwards is done either
entirely by women, or by a mixture of women
and children of both sexes (until the male children reach puberty).
In my own family things are run a little
differently, everyone helps at every stage, and
everyone gets to watch football. In my husband's
family, however, Christmas and Thanksgiving

�What to do
with elephants
In the past three years, the Asian elephant breeding program at the Wild Animal Park has faced a string of controversies. As the majestic animal stampedes toward extinction,
Park officials and animal advocates are left wrestling with
the dilemma of how to save this vanishing breed.
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
O N C E UPON A TIME
there were herds of gigantic animals
that roamed the continents of Africa
and Asia. These majestic creatures
stood as tall as 13 feet at the
shoulder and weighed as much as
eight tons.
Theirs was a matriarchal social
community, led by the females of
the species. They roamed the land
in search of food (leaves and
shrubs) and gained respect from all
living creatures including lions and
t igers....
Such is the fairy tale of elephants

not-too-distant future.

ivory trade. To many, elephants
became walking treasuries rather
than living beings.
There may b e no happy ending
to the tale of the elephants. As third
world populations grow in Africa
and Asia, it becomes increasingly
less likely that the elephant population will keep a home in its natural
environment Zoos and animal
sanctuaries may be the last glimmer
of hope for a once thriving species.
In 1985, the San Diego Wild
Animal Park in Escondido, opened
its Asian elephant breeding program. Having met with birthing
success in its African elephant
program, the Park intended to
become one of the few zoological
institutions to successfully breed
Asian elephants.
But tragedy after tragedy ensued.
By early 1991, the Park was faced
with three stillborn elephants. In
March of this year, animal trainer
Pamela Orsi, 27, was killed when
she was caught between two
fighting elephants. In the same
month the program's only successful birth was put to sleep because of
infection. Last month another
elephant was stillborn.
Time and time again, the
fledgling program found a shroud of
controversy and tragedy at every
turn of fate.
C ONTROVERSY OVER
the San Diego Wild Animal Park's
elephant program began three years
ago when a keeper at the San Diego
Zoo alleged that Dunda, a recently
acquired cow to the Park, was the
subject of abusive treatment by Park
keepers.

»CATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER
According to Tom Hanscom,
director of Public Relations at the
Park, keepers regularly use some
degree of force to establish dominance over members of an elephant
herd. He says that the type of force
used by keepers at the Park to
establish hierarchical control is
similar to the same type of force
elephants use in the wild to gain
control of a herd.
In a natural setting, each
elephant maintains a social position
in the herd based on the establishment of dominance. If a less
dominant elephant wishes to rise up
the social ladder, it must challenge a
more dominant elephant in the herd.
This challenge is usually manifested
in a head-butting contest between
the two animals.-If the dominant
elephant retreats from the headbutting contest, it succeeds its
position to the challenger.
Hanscom says that keepers
utilize this type of challenge to
become the "head elephant" of the
herd. By doing so, the animals
become more responsive to keeper
commands thereby becoming
manageable.
As an exhibitory animal at the
San Diego Zoo, Dunda's former
home, Dunda was not accustomed
to this type of treatment Hanscom
says the keepers at the zoo preferred
to keep their distance from the
animal rather than establish a
trainer-elephant relationship.
As a result, Dunda, in her new
environment, did not recognize Park
keepers as members of the herd.
She was uncooperative and difficult
to handle. In order to establish
dominance, keepers used sticks to
emulate the head-butting ritual of
the herd.
Animal rights groups, like the
San Diego Animal Advocates
(SDAA), view this kind of hands-on
treatment as abusive. Sally Mackler
president of SDAA says that, as a
major source of revenue in San
Diego, the public was blind to the
practices of the Wild Animal Park.
"Dunda brought the whole issue
out of the closet," Mackler says. "It
showed that the practices of the
Park are different from public
perceptions."
Hanscom says that animal rights
groups such as the SDAA used the
Dunda incident to gain media
attention. He says that by attacking
a high-profile organization, like the
Wild Animal Park, animal rights
groups gained a level of public
EXPLORE
attention that they could not get
otherwise. By citing abuse, these
groups manipulated the public's
perception in a way that was
difficult for the Wild Animal Park
to defend.
"Abuse is a crime where the
accused has to prove its innocence,"
says Hanscom. "The San Diego
Zoological Society maintains that
there was no abuse."
Mackler indicates that, because
elephants are extremely intelligent
creatures, they are more susceptible
to tactics of intimidation used by
Park keepers. She says the most
humane way of dealing with
elephants is to utilize modern
technology in restraining and
controlling the animals without the
need of physical touch.
One such method, used in the
Portland Zoo, utilizes a room with
moveable walls to restrain their
elephants. When an elephant needs
medical attention, it is lured into the
room. The walls of the room

Such equipment is expensive,
however, and some animal rights

Incident, the public's attention has
focused on the tragedies which have
afflicted the Park's Asian elephant
breeding program. Since the
completion of its $380,000 breeding
facility in 1985, the Park has
suffered the loss of four baby
elephants and an adult cow.
Hanscom says that breeding
failures are natural events that occur
when wild animals are bred in
captivity. He indicates that because
elephants are such "high profile"
animals, the public becomes more
attuned to their breeding failures
than the failures of other animals.
"In the wild, it is estimated that
at least 50 percent of first-born
elephants die," he says. "We are
following the same breeding
protocol as other successful
programs. Unfortunately things
happened to our animals before the
program was successful."
Last March, Omar, the first baby
Asian elephant born at the Park,
died of infection. After 10 months
of effort by Park veterinarians to
nurse the calf to health, Omar was
put to sleep by a lethal injection of
phenobarbital. The Park also
suffered from several stillborn

Due to the tragic turn of events
with the Asian elephant breeding
program, the Wild Animal Park
remains unsure of whether it will
cdkitinue its program. Compounding
the decision is a recent moratorium
placed on elephant breeding by
national zoological societies.
The problem facing most
elephant breeding programs is the
question of what to do with the
offspring.
Due to the aggressive, unpredictable nature of male elephants, zoos
are generally only able to keep one
bull on the premises. Having more
than one bull could result in

of elephant breeding activities until
a solution to the placement problem
can be answered.
Mackler says her organization
does not support elephant breeding
programs because of the low
success rate they achieve. She
attributes part of the problem to the
limited space available to elephants
in zoos.
"In the wild there are complex
and intricate relationships between
the male and female elephants.
There is no space for proper social
interactions in zoos," she says.
According to Mackler, female
elephants are tied to "rape racks" at
the Wild Animal Park. She says that
these devices deny the elephants the
opportunity for proper social
interaction.
But Hanscom points out that
such instruments are necessary to
ensure the safety of both the
animals and the keepers.
The mechanism introduces bulls
to cows and also has the ability to
separate them should a dangerous
situation arise. Keepers need not put
there lives in jeopardy to restrain an

Another problem facing the
Park's breeding program is the
rejection of the elephant calves by
the mother cow. None of the
elephants at the Park have seen a
baby elephant before. An adult
elephant might turn on its offspring
because it does not recognize what
it is.
In 1982, the Park lost an African
elephant calf after it was attacked
by an adult in the herd. The adult
simply did not recognize that the
calf was of the same species. After
Omar the Asian elephant was born,
his mother, Connie, continually bit,

until Park officials were forced to

IF THE ASIAN ELEPHANT
breeding program is put on hold at
the Wild Animal Park, Hanscom
says the Park will probably resume
its efforts at a later time. As
curators of an endangered species,
the Park is bound by conservation
ethics to keep the Asian elephant
gene pool alive and propagating.
"A zoo can play a supporting
role of maintaining a genetic pool,"
says Hanscom. "We should not be
viewed as curators of a living
museum, but as a strong conservation education tool."
Hanscom is quick to point out
that the lack of success in the Asian
elephant breeding program seems to
overshadow successes with other
animals.
In the course of 11 years, the
Park produced 70 rare white rhinoceros offspring. 900 births
or hatches each year place the sanctuary far above other zoological institutions in terms of breeding success.
Hanscom says that because
Asian elephants are so high profile,
public scrutiny of their breeding
program is constant, but he also
stresses the Park's commitment to
the preservation of elephants.
"The danger is if we. alter our
margins because we are driven by
public opinion," he says.

and the
Creating the
perfect beast
Animators continue classical Disney magic
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Everyone is familiar with the old adage
that says: "Don't judge a book by its cover."
But, when the book's shell has the autograph of Walt Disney the precedent is set for
a fantastic story.
'The Beauty and the Beast,' opening
nationwide Nov. 22, is a wonderfully
animated, musically beautiful and amazing
story.
The story unfolds of a handsome man
who is bound as a beast, played by Robby
Benson. The only way to return himself to
his original winsome self is to gain the love
of a beautiful woman.
Animator Glen Keane created a creature
that is both hideous and ferocious, yet
transforms into something beautiful as it is
tamed by the charms of a woman. Keane
combines a smorgasbord of creatures in his
beast and adds a pinch of Disney magic to
help his monster come alive.
The beauty is Belle, played by Paige
O'Hara. With her, the Disney animators
drew an aesthetically alluring young woman
with a voice that outshines the Him projector
lights.
Belle is not a run-of-the-mill storybook
beauty. She would rather spend her time
reading a book than entertaining the love of
the obnoxious town hunk, Gaston. With
Belle, Disney successfully brings a modernday woman who seeks intellectual fulfillment into a traditional format.
Beauty and the beast meet each other
through Belle's strange inventor father
Maurice. Seeking shelter from a storm,
Maurice finds himself trapped in the beast's
castle. As a symbol of her daughterly love,
Belle bargains with the beast to take her
captive in exchange for her father's freedom.
The monster agrees and the stage is set:
the beast and the girl are left alone. Well
almost.
Disney adds a few extra characters to its
saga. There's a candlestick, a clock, a tea
pot and her tea cup. All of these objects,
with the entire household furniture, are
comically animated. Angela Lansbury
('Murder She Wrote') and David Ogden
Stiers ('M*A*S*H') lend their voices to
these animated objects.
With the cast now introduced, the Disney
crew of animators and writers work their
magic and the beauty and the beast fall in
love.
A missing page in this production,
however, is how the beast became the way
he did. He must find love before a special
rose wilts. Where the flower came from and
who cast the spell is not answered in the
show.
Regardless, 'Beauty in the Beast' can be
placed on the bookshelf along with the other
classic animated feature films from Walt
Disney. Its beauty will last longer than some
of its predecessors'.
Creating the characters for "Beauty
and the Beast" was a thoughtful, timeconsuming process involving the
collaborative efforts of may different
people.
In the final analysis, however, it is
the supervising animator and his team
that must bring those characters convincingly to life and provide the
credibility, personality and entertainment that appears on the screen.
Glen Keane was the supervising
animator who designed and drew the
beast and oversaw the animators who
worked on him. For this 16-year
Disney veteran, whose previous works
range from animating the climatic
bear fight in 'The Fox and the Hound'
to Ariel in 'The Little Mermaid,' this
latest assignment was easily the
toughest
"There's never been a character
like him before," explains Keane, "so
there was nothing to fall back on. I
began creating the beast by figuring
out who the character really is inside.
H e's a guy trapped between two
worlds. He's part animal and part
human and h e's not comfortable with
either. His design had to show the
human side - heart, warmth and the
ability to love. The ferocious, hideous
animal side had to reflect his incredible power and agility. I filled my
mind with all of these things and
began processingitintoafinaldesign."
In the end, Keane created his own
hybrid beast taking the mane of a lion,
the beard and head structure of a
buffalo, the tusks and nose bridge of a
wild boar, the heavily muscled brow
of a gorilla, the legs and tail of a wolf
and the big bulky body of a bear. To
all of the above, he added the most
important ingredient - sincerity.
"The eyes are the window to the
soul," says Keane. "When Bellelooks
into beast's eyes she must see his
human heart and soul. She must see
sincerity and believe that she can acSEE BEAST/PAGE 15

Local prisoner artwork exhibit
corrects audience conceptions
D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
The exhibition, "Arts in Correction," clearly displays the artistic
abilities of inmates and their instructors from California prisons. Most of
the art defines expressions of feeling
that relate to an artist, but these artists
are the "dregs of the Earth," those
who usually are not accepted in normal society.
Most of the artwork expresses
universal themes and feelings, but
when we see who the artists are, we
can also place their art in a specific
category, that from prisoners.
When you walk into the Boehm
Gallery at Palomar College, you will
have a choice of entering one of three
rooms. The rooms directly to the left
and right include the artwork by the
prisoners.
The room straight ahead contains a
television set with a 53-minute video
consisting of 17 short video pieces by
prison inmates experimenting with
another form of art, video production.
The most poignant pieces of art are
in the two rooms opposite each other.
In the room to the right, some of the
p rison w omen c reated " altered
books," in which they change the looks
of real books to suit their perception
of "regular" books. Also there are
painting, sculptures and drawings.
One drawing, in particular, is
worthy of inspection. Done in graphite
by Mike Aguilar, an inmate, this
drawing depicts Latin and Indian men
and women, some just faces, some
full figures. Interwoven with the human figures, clocks hands, guns and
bars with a keyhole play with the
imagination of the viewer.
This drawing portrays power and
defeat, hope and sadness, and the long
wait for freedom all at the same time.
In the other room, many portraits
adorn the walls, but one picture captures the soul and mind.
Called " I Stand Alone" by inmate
Rickie Soria, this picture displays a
large tree dominating the landscape.
Without the leaves, orstrong branches,
this tree lies bent and twisted, worn
and defeated. Possibly the blue sky
behind the tree depicts hope, but the
tree itself proves that hope*is long
gone. Only the determination to survive exists.
Interestingly, these art pieces are
very good. Most of the artists have
captured their inner feelings and expressed them effectively on the canvas. None of the art pieces seems to
comefromthe part of society in which
they originate.
Seeing these pictures and sculptures spawns a new awareness in the
viewer for the prisoners. Even if they
a re in prison, they can express themselves well through a rt
However, after you begin the accept these people and their works,
you notice an encased glass display
s howing a nother c reative f orm:
weapons. These weapons were confiscated from the prisoners and are
displayed to show the viewer that

society.
How can something so expressive
and even beautiful come from such a
violent community? Maybe these
people should be given a chance to
express their lives and ideas. They
have something very creative to verbalize: themselves.
The showing will continue at the
Boehm Gallery through Nov. 13.

Another thing that Keane strived
for in his work was realism.
"The character has to be r eal...
he says. "In the scene where Belle
refuses to come down for dinner and
the beast loses his temper, the script
called for him to run up the stairs in a
rage. But an enraged animal would
stamper on all fours and leapfromthe
stairs to the landing, almost sailing
through the air, which is the way we
ended up doing i t" „
The animator c redits Robby
Benson with providing the right inspiration for beast through his vocal
interpretation. "He was the best actor
that we heard by far and his performance really helped us get the emotional edge," says Keane.

CSUSM students form winning soccer squad
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Even though Cal State San Marcos' sports
program won't get started for another few years,
some students here are enjoying the game of
soccer anyway.
S tudent Laura Mitchell, an avid soccer player,
heard about the city of San Marcos' soccer
leagues and wanted to join. The leagues, however, only accepted teams. So Mitchell started
one.
Nine players, including Mitchell, joined the
Community Services' co-ed soccer league under the team name 'The Strikers.' The now 13member team is undefeated and is largely made
up of Cal State San Marcos and other area
college students.
"We have a range of players who have never
played before and those who have played for 10
years," Mitchell said.
The teams colors are white and those who
attend Cal State San Marcos wear their college
T-shirts. Other students come from neighboring
Palomar College and as far away as Cal Poly
Pomona.
"We (CSUSM students) are kinds of the ring
leaders," said Richard Malloy, a CSUSM student.
From CSUSM, team members include
Michelle Sadova, Kelly Yates, Lisa Foster, Jose
Chapman, Debbie Ricketts, Mitchell and Malloy.
Mitchell, Chapman and Ricketts plays defense. ' They're the main defensive players,"
Malloy said.
Mitchell said there are some rules that come
with the co-ed games that not all players agree
with. For example, when a female has control of
the ball in the center of the field, a male cannot
take it away* Mitchell, an experienced player,
feels this is unfair to both sexes.
The team tries to practice twice a week, but
with conflicting school and work schedules, not
everyone can make i t
"We at least have two practices a week," said
Malloy, "but not everyone can make both times."
Photographer gives greetings local angle
D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
Have you ever stood on the beach gazing at
a sunset and yearning for a camera to capture the
f oment?"
* ' WeUf*pai:ten£ Barge makes a living taking
pictures of the beach and selling them as greeting cards.
"S andy Dreams Greetings" has been a reality
for Barge for about six years. She and her
husband decided there was a market for pictures
of North County beaches and chose to mount
their pictures, on 5-by-7 card stock to sell as
greeting cards*
They visited local merchants, who desired
pictures of beaches other than San Diego City
beaches, and their business took off overnight.
Barge takes pictures of different beaches,
their piers, the ocean and the setting sun; mounts
them and writes her own special messages on
thé sand in the pictures.
What's hiôst impressive about these greeting
cards is that every one is a photograph that can
be mounted in a 5-by-7 or larger frame.
These greeting cards are made to be admired
all the time, not just glanced at and thrown
away.
For example, one of her best-selling cards
displays a Santa waving a bag and tçwël, wearing white Bermuda shorts, red and white knee
socks and looking like a real Santa from the
waist-up. He is standing in the sand with the
ocean unfolding behind him.
This is "Southern California's" depiction of
Santa. He floats in on the ocean and looks like
a tourist ready to catch a wave or some
sun.
Another popular card portrays the
ocean waves creeping onto the sand
leaving white foam in its wake. The
white foam is Southern California's
idea of a "White Christmas."
Barge says that many people from
Southern California love to send this
card to their relatives in the Northeast
and the Midwest.
Barge takes her o wn pictures, makes
her o w n
cards (with the help of an
assistant), sells and restocks all her
greeting cards herself. In addition to
holiday cards, Barge also creates
Happy Birthday cards for other occasions.
Many specialty stores sell Barge's
greeting cards, especially stores that cater
mostly to tourists. By taking pictures of local
beaches and writing the names of the beaches in
the sand, Barge creates pictures that can be
saved and admired.
You can find Barge's unique greeting cards
at the Palomar College Bookstore, the Harbor
G ift Shop (on Oceanside pier), at El Camino
Pharmacy in Carlsbad and at La CostaPharmacy

While the economic recession
slows down consumers, it may actually be speeding up the construction
process at Cal State San Marcos' permanent campus site off Twin Oaks
Valley Road.
Whereas, last month CSUSM officials were pessimistic as to whether
the first phase of the campus construction would b e completed by its

economy has injected a glimmer of
hope into die project's timeline.
Albert Amado, vice president of

Because of a slump in the construction industry many subcontractors are faced with a lack of work and

Child care program
good idea from A. S.
Ever since Cal State San Marcos opened last year, many
students have pleaded with the powers that be to instigate a
child care program.
Now the Associated Student Council may have an answer
to their problems.
With a population that consists primarily of older students,
child care is a
legitimate
concern.
Many
of
CSUSM'sreentry population are parents that are

where to put
their children while mom or dad goes to school.
Unfortunately, college administrators and the A.S. Council have delayed starting a child care program because of the
high cost of liability insurance. In addition, CSUSM's temporary campus does not have proper facilities to care for children
on site.
Some students who are not parents have also expressed a
reluctance to fund a university-sponsored program. These
students feel that paying for child care should not be their
responsibility since they chose to forgo the cost of raising
children in the first place.
At last the A.S. found a solution that can please those
unwilling to fund child care and avoid university liability. By
seeking help from the San Marcos Boys and Girls Club, the
A.S. has shown the type of ingenuity and resourcefulness that
has typified CSUSM's short history.
Under the program, students can drop their children off at
the Club on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to
8 p.m. where they will be supervised by Club staff.
The Boys and Girls Club is accustomed to working with
children on a daily basis and is known for its community
service contributions with regard to children.
The cost of the program is relatively inexpensive. An
annual membership fee of $15 affords students the opportunity to utilize the evening child care services and facilities of
the Club. Students pay only $5 per night to take advantage of
the plan.
Few, if any, organizations offer child care at such an
affordable rate.
The program, however, cannot be started unless a minimum of 15 students participate. Students wishing to take
advantage of the program must sign up now. Waiting until
next semester will only close the window of child care
opportunity.
The college still has to wrestle with the dilemma of dealing
with preschool children. Since the program only services
children from 6 to 18 years of age, parents needing preschool
care need to seek help elsewhere. Still, the program is a step
in the right direction.
Currently, the Boys and Girls Club has child care programs
during the day. This new program would simply extend this
program into the evening hours.
OUR VIEWS
Editor studies taxonomy of critics
Preparatory to anything else, the person wishing to write a
statement, editorial in nature, should examine the critics of the art
of o psonization.
It seems that whenever an opinion is advanced, an opposing
opinion of lesser, equal or greater force is advanced to reverse the
stress brought on by the opinion of thefirstparty (known to many
as the politician's first law of verbal dynamics).
Through careful examination of opposing opinions, we find
revealed a taxonomical classification of the realm of critics at
large. From the kingdom Animalia, phylum Vertibrae, class
Mammalia, order New World, family Nuclear and the genus
Criticus, we can discern several unique species who participate
in the symbiotic evolutionary cycle of argumentative discourse.
Criticus equatus: Propels earthly arguments into the logical
ozone with encapsulated analogies that equate the mundane with
the extraterrestrial.
e.g. You buy the last pound of ground turkey flesh from the
grocery store. Mrs. Smith, wanting the fowl, becomes so enraged
by the buy she goes to the library and reads how to build a
thermonuclear devise (Popular Science, March 1972pp. 74). She
gathers enough plutonium from discarded smoke detectors and
pacemakers and constructs a warhead roughly the size of New
Hampshire which she proceeds to detonate at your house. The
Pentagon perceives the explosion as an attack from the Soviet
Union (they were faking internal troubles) and launches its entire
entourage of ICBMs at Moscow which retaliates by launching its
entire entourage of ICBMs at Washington D.C. resulting in total
and complete world obliteration and global destruction. Therefore you must become a vegetarian.
Criticus oxymoronicus: Inclined to correct ideologies ofthose
holding incorrect political persuasions, unaware that arguments
political in nature inherently may be deemed controversial by the
correctitudes of opposing latitudes, thereby boggling the nature
of macrocorrectness with microspeculations of verbatically
deemed incorrectness.
e.g. Prone to tarry over the nature of words that aclvertentlyDr
inadvertently propagate racial, gender or other stereotypical
t itles through
their spelling or
inference.
Black-list,
black-ball,
beanpole,chairman, manhole,
mandate, Mexican,Mexican',,
girl, boy, boyEDITOR-IN-CHIEF
toy, oh boy.
Criticus
insultus: Throws argument to the wind, logic to the dogs and
opponent to the wolves. Responds to a well thought out argument
with a conflagration of anti-personal razz-ma-tazz.
e.g. George Bush's Willie Horton rabbit punch to Michael
Dukakis (liberal) in the 1988 presidential elections. Michael
Dukakis' uppercut to George Bush's squeaky voice (whimp) in
the 1988 presidential elections. The media's attack on Ted
Kennedy (womanizer, dunderhead, cheat, murderer). Congress'
barrage on California state senator Alan Cranston, who was
involved with the sagacious, magnificent Keating five (crook).
Third-grader Johnnie's cheap shot to third-grader Sally (you're
ugly). Third-grader Sally's return slam to third-grader Johnnie (I
know you are but what am I).
Criticus ra-ra-russ: Always argues on the side of the home
team regardless of congruity of logical argument Organisms
within this classification (also known as Criticus americus,
Criticus republiciis, Criticus democratus, Criticus finestcititus,
Criticus collegiatuSi Criticus h.s.itus, Criticus elementaritus,
Criticus preichoolitus, Criticus familitus, Criticus usus)
oftentimes utilize the strategies of Criticus equatus when reasonable discussion of institutional issues fails.
e.g. Roamed the central portion of the western hemisphere
shortly after Operation Desert Storm. Faces momentary extinction
during recessionary times. Undoubtedly will resurge again during next year's elections.

A
THOUGHT:
"How long does a man
spend dying? What does
it mean to say 'forever'?"
PABLO NERUDA
I personally find the opinion of Nov. 12
Pioneer regarding "Basic courses essential at
CSUSM" to be a little naive, to say the least. It
appears that the writer has joined the ranks of
some of the other "snifflers" and "Whiners"
roaming our campus. They seem to join our
campus with that trailblazing spirit then develop
a c ritical c ase of " Iwantitis" or
"gimmeegimmeeitits."
We all applied to CSUSM as juniors (that
was the qualification for entrance) with thé
understanding that no lower division course work
was going to be offered. I remember on one visit
to MiraCosta College, a CSUSM representative
told us of the writing requirement so that we
would have time (spring semester 1990) to
update our skills if they were rusty.
Yes, the population of our campus are reentry students. However, re-entry in this sense
applies to late-bloomers - those students that
delay beginning their educational goals.
For most, the gap you mentioned is between
high school and college not between lower and
upper division coursework. We are transfer
students, that is transferring directly from a
local junior college such as MiraCosta or
Palomar.
Twenty-five hundred words or not,how could
anyone transfer as a junior without having some
basic foundation in math, science, and English?
Math and English have a progression in our
JCs - placement tests are taken and the student
follows a prescribed outline based upon where
he/she places on the exam. These courses are
also covered in the basic lower division GE
coursework requirements for entrance to most
universities. To knowingly transfer into an upper division campus such as ours without any
experience would not place the blame on
CSUSMforatransferstudentnotbeingprepared.
I would, however, go back or write to the
junior college and let these feeder schools know
how they could have prepared you better.
Our JCs are responsible for lower division
coursework. Therefore, I would:
•
tell them that they need to offer more
class sections in those basic areas.
•
tell them that they need to redesign their
programs in order to prepare their students to be
successful at CSUSM (for example, all classes
should stress writing not just English classes).
As far as our identity is concerned, one can
achieve that feeling of oneness by doing the
very thing that most students avoid - getting
involved! I, and most of my friends, managed to
transfer in the fall of 1990 to CSUSM, pull an
extra lower division class at Palomar, hold down
a job, take care of a family and be involved with
the university in some capacity. Our identity
was proudly earned as CSUSM students.
Yes we did breath a sigh or relief when we
were through with the local JC but that did not
inhibit our efforts to put our university on the
map by getting involved. Whether it was the
Student Governance Task Force or a subcommittee thereof, the writing center, the yearbook,

which rose from the ashes of extinction, the California
condor may find a new beginning amidst the destruction of its species.
Next month, officials at the San Diego Wild
Animal Park in Escondido plan to reintroduce the
condor into the wild by releasing a male and a female
bird from captivity. The California condor, which has
been extinct in the wild since 1987, represents the
most highly publicized success story at the Park.
Currently all 52 existing California condors live in
captivity. Twenty-four of them dwell in a
" condominiuma $150,000 condor breeding center
located at the Park. Next month's release represents a
decade of efforts to save the majestic bird.
Former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,
Dr. S. Dillon Ripley stated, "The condor represents . ..
one of the very few natural genetic reservoirs,
unchanged since Pleistocene times a million years
ago. It should be preserved as a biological resource."
As a link to the past, the California condor is
unique in its attributes. It has a wingspan of eight to
nine and a half feet, making it the largest indigenous
flying bird in North America. It can rise up to four
miles in altitude and glide down 150 miles.
California condors are relatives of vultures and
feed of animals that are already dead. They are not
equipped with talons for catching live prey. Myths of
condors carrying small children away are completely
false, since condors utilize all their wing power to lift
their 25-pound bodies off the ground.
"The bird has a magical attraction,** says Bill
Toone, curator of birds at the Wild Animal Park. ' The
condor has immense charisma. It is completely silent
and absolutely a master of control in the air. The
condor is a tremendous demonstration of power and
control. Therein lies the importance of its conservation.**
Toone started his association with the Park in the
late 1970s as a grad student studying how captive
behavior effects the hormones and breeding practices
of birds. He says he had no intention to concentrate on
condors as a student, but the b ird's majesty hooked
him.

environment in the future, officials
reserve their optimism as to whether
or not-the species can survive in the
wild. *
Tom Hanscom, director of
Public Relations at the Wild Animal
Park, cites that the reasons for the
condor's demise have yet to be
determined. Many of the factors
that destroyed the giant b ird's
population still e xist
Scientists speculate that apart
from human encroachment and
hunters' bullets, lead poisoning may
have been a primary agent in the
natural extinction of the condors.
Some condors feeding on game left
behind by hunters ingested lead
shotgun pellets imbedded in the
carrion. Others may have died by
consuming poisoned carcasses set
out as bait to kill coyotes.
"Our problem is we haven't
cleaned up the environment that
caused the condors' extinction. This
is not a biologically sound
reintroduction, it is a politically
sound one," Hanscom says.
Toone indicates that people
should expect to see the deaths of at
least 20 of the released condors;
but, he adds, these deaths will help
scientists determine the reasons for
the animal's natural extinction.
"Deaths in the field will be
affordable on a species level," says
Toone.
According to Toone, each bird
will be radio tagged and monitored
continuously by scientists. If a
condor dies, its body can be located
and studied to determine the cause
of death. The information will then
aid conservationists in eliminating
the factors which originally caused
the condors' extinction.
Toone also agrees with Hanscom
that the condor release program is
more a sound ''political" move than
a biological one.
Under the Federal Endangered
Species Act, the habitat occupied by
an animal facing extinction is
protected f rom human encroachment and development. Builders are
prohibited from construction on
lands occupied by endangered
species.
Because of the vast area of land
the condor occupies, the bird is
referred to as an "umbrella species."
Within its 150 square-mile domain
lives 56 different endangered
species. These other animals will

encroachment once the condor is
reintroduced into its natural habitat.
After the condor became extinct
in the wild, protection of its natural
habitat was lifted. When the two
birds are released next month, its
lands will once again fall under an
umbrella of federal protection.
Since the condor holds such a
high profile of media attention,
developers will be more informed
on condor lands protected under the
Endangered Species Act. As a
result, lower profile animals, such
as the cactus wren, that share
habitats with the condor will find
their homes protected as well.
G E N E R A L L Y SPEAKING,
captive breeding programs at the
Wild Animal Park serve only to
augment populations in the wild. In
the case of the California condor,
captive breeding has completely
saved the species.
In 1982, biologists began
scouring the condor's habitat for
eggs to be reared in captivity. Only
a handful of condors remained and
the only hopes for the animal's
future rested in animal sanctuaries.
Previously, zoologists were
reluctant to collect condor eggs
because the natural population of
th£birds would be seriously
depleted.
"Because of the hostile habitat,
we couldn't afford to have any
more of the animals die," says
Toone.
He states that the Wild Animal
Park approached the condor

breeding program with optimism. In
the 1940s, the San Diego Zoo
developed the first captive breeding
program of the Andean Condor.
The program was a success and
proved that condors were relatively
easy animals to take care of.
According to Toone, finding
condor eggs was no easy task. Since
99 percent of condors do not build
nests, biologists had to find caves
(usually at high altitudes in cliff
sides) where the condors laid their
eggs. A female condor generally
lays only one egg at a time and only

Toone says that eggs were
gathered in February with the hopes
that the female would lay another
before the breeding season came to
a close.
Immediately after an egg was
gathered, it was placed in an
incubator and flown by helicopter to
the Wild Animal Park. Incubation

gathered egg at the Park occurred in
1983. Since that time the California
condor breeding program soared
into orbit.
In 1988 Molloko, the first
California condor ever conceived
and hatched in captivity, brought
renewed hopes of the animal's
future. Last year Park condors laid
26 eggs, as many as three eggs per
female condor.
Once a condor is hatched, it is
immediately placed in an infant
isolette. The chick is nurtured and
raised through the use of condor
puppets to insure that the condor
can recognize other condors.
Toone says that after six or seven
years the condors reach maturity
and are able to reproduce. It is only
when they reach this point that
biologists will reintroduce them to
the wild.
Next year, Toone hopes the Park
and the Los Angeles Zoo (which
has a similar program) will release
six condors. He says that because
each bird costs about $250,000 to
develop and monitor, reintroduction
into the wild will be a slow and
expensive process.
"We want to develop three selfsustaining populations that are
geographically distant, each with
100 birds," says Toone. "It might
happen in my lifetime."

It is so easy to be interrupted
when studying for finals.
I just received my fall edition of
"Yosemite Magazine." The lead
article is about something close to
my h eart... the photography of
Yosemite.
The beautiful pictures reminded
me of the wonderful times I have
had photographing Yosemite before
my days at Cal State San Marcos.
The desire to pack up and run to the
high country pulls on my very v
being.
I have a real affinity for
Yosemite and hay & visited, the
national park at least 20 or so times;
but only once have I been there in
the winter.
Gone were the screaming kids,
the packed paths, the traffic jams,
the sights of beauty teaming with
humanity. Instead, a solitude
invades the valley, the pace slows
down and beauty can be admired in
solo wonder.
Warm cabins and lodge rooms
are available at the Yosemite Lodge
and Camp Curry. The winter rates
remain reasonable for a resort. All
of the restaurants and stores stay
open for winter guests.
The park keeps the roads clear of
snow and, so long as good preparation for winter clothing and gear are
met, the trip is beyond reward.
I stayed at the Yosemite Lodge
and early every morning I was
rewarded with the sight of Yosemite
Falls frozen to the face of the sheer
granite wall. During the night the
breeze fanned the falling water so
that the ice framed both sides of the
falls for many yards.
As the sun penetrated into the
valley and warmed the rock walls,
the ice cracked, rumbled and
thundered as it fell hundreds of feet
to the boulders below.
The Merced River, which rages
in the spring, becomes as a tame
kitten in the winter. The edges of
the river become frozen like a
winter pond while the center stays
clear.
The peaceful flowing water
Snow clings to thr rocky face of one of
Yosemite's majestic landmarks during the
national park's calm winter months.
reflects the majesty of a Yosemite
winter day: snow-capped river
rocks, snow-encrusted pine trees,
snow-topped sheer granite walls
and white clouds framed in blue
skies.
But winter in Yosemite is not
just the splendor of the big scene, it
is also the beauty of an autumn leaf
varnished with a coat of frozen
crystals or the pattern of a patch of
snow on a dead, charred log.
I t's a cold, quiet walk followed
by Irish Coffee to warm up the
system. If you love Yosemite in die
summer, you'll adore it in the
winter.
For those that desire more
strenuous winter wonder, Yosemite
offers both cross-country and
downhill skiing. Buses commute
between the valley floor and Badger
Pass a lt day, every day.
The Yosemite Association didn't
have to send me their quarterly
journal right at the beginning of
finals for it has sent my mind a
wondering and I think I have talked
myself into a winter break trip to
Yosemite.
My husband has never seen
Yosemite in the snow and I c an't
wait to share the beauty witjt him.

so easy that the cast does it themselves without loosing a beat of music.
The other end of the critics scale,
the part that needs some work still, is
the plant itself. Although the execution and voice of the alien vegetable is
without flaw, the actual puppet has
had better days.
The plant props were rented;
however, the theater isn't getting its
money's worth. The plant is torn and
missing obvious parts (a tooth for
example). With the talent and skills at
the Moonlight, they would have been
better off building their own puppets.
The Cool Urchins and company
end with a song imploring those
watching not to feed the plants. Even
if you don't, you must see this show.

Permanent campus site set for fall;
Craven Hall, Commons may be later
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Students attending classes next fall at Cal
State San Marcos will most likely travel to the
permanent campus site off Twin Oaks Valley
Road for their courses, but delays in construction could suspend the opening of the administrative and food service facilities until the
following spring.
"We're convinced that the academic and
laboratory buildings will be occupiable by the
first day of fall classes," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. 'The other two are questionable."
Craven Hall, the $14 million administrative building, and the Commons facility are
scheduled for completion after the teaching
complexes. If the buildings are not completed,
students will need to travel off campus to
purchase books, use the library or gain access
to academic records.
Albert Amado, vice president of Campus
Construction and Physical Planning, said he
met with contractors last week to discuss the
option of increasing and doubling shifts on
Craven Hall to expedite the construction process
Yet, at the current stage of construction, he
said it is doubtful that an increased work force
can push the project toward meeting its fall
1992 scheduled completion date.
"I am very optimistic, but also realistic,"
Amado said. "Once time is lost, it is difficult
to make up."
In September of 1990, construction on the
nearly $50 million Phase I campus construction project ground to a halt after grading
subcontractor C.W. Poss claimed that contractor Louetto Construction Inc. failed to pay
them $1.3 million for woik already completed
at the site.
Louetto was terminated from its responsibilities at the permanent site in October and
replaced with Lusardi Construction Company.
Worries that drought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site
were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San
Marcos in March. The "March Miracle" left
the ground too muddy, thereby hindering
progress.
The discovery of a well beneath the foundation of Craven Hall compounded delays
further.
Craven Hall and the Commons Building
could be completed by the fall, but Amado
said that the structures will not be usable until
complicated equipment is installed.
"Even if we achieve the August completion date (on Craven Hall and the Commons
Building), the sophisticated functions in those
buildings require several months to install,"
he said.
Amado speculated that the Commons
Building will be completed by late August or
early September. He said that the time-consuming installation of food service equipment,
however, will push the building's opening
date to spring 1993.
Craven Hall will house $2 million in computer equipment, administration, student services and a 100,000-volume library. Amado
said the computer systems in the building will
be activated last
"The opinion is that Craven Hall will not
be open since it has more complications,"
Stacy said. "But I haven't written it off yet."
Students needing to use the services that
will be housed in Craven Hall will have to
traverse to the current campus site. Amado
said some of the services might be moved to
Craven Hall during the fall semester, but
added that the decision is not his to make.

Financial Aid application workshop
The Cal State Office of Financial Aid will be conducting workshops
on completing the 1992-93 Student Aid Application for California
(SAAC), and will be providing valuable information regarding the
financial aid process. Application packets for 1992-93 will be distributed at the workshops or students may pick up a packet from the Office
of Financial Aid.
The workshops have been scheduled to ensure that students will have
the information they need prior to the March 2,1992 Cal Grant deadline,
which is also the CSUSM priority filing date for financial aid. Additional information and other important dates will be given at the
workshops.
The schedule for the workshops is:
• Feb. 4 from 6-8 p.m. for a formal presentation in Building 145,
Room 9.
• Feb. 19 from 8:30-4:30 p.m.
• Feb. 27 from 5-8 p.m.
Feb. 19 and 27 are designed as drop-in workshops and are not
structured presentations. All walk-ins should bring their SAAC applications completed to the best of their ability. Students should come to
the Office of Financial Aid during the walk-in times.
Lost and found available
The University Library has various lost items left from last semester
in the lost and found area at the front desk. These items include keys, a
small tape cassette, various squeeze bottle, jackets, sunglasses, notebooks, books, computer disks and other items.
For students who have lost something or think one of the listed items
may be theirs, stop by the library in Building 135 or call 752-4340 for
information.
Hinton changes positions
President Bill Stacy announced Jan. 29 the appointment of Dr.
Bernard Hinton to the position of Assistant to the President for Technology. Hinton served as acting Dean of Business Administration for
the first three semesters of classes.
The purpose of his position is to assist the faculty, staff and administration in planning/implementing computing and telecommunication
technologies for CSUSM. One of his objectives is to work with the
technology investment made by Northern Telecom/Pacific Bell last
semester.
"Immediate attention must be locused on discovering the potentials
of that $1 million gift," Stacy wrote in a letter to the university
community. 'The university is in the midst of acquisition/bidding
computing hardware; full attention of a university person especially
focused only on the bidding process is urgent."
Hinton's appointment is effective Feb. L

Wilson, Trustees support
increased student tuition
L ARRY BOISJOLiE/PIONEER
For the second year in a row, students attending the California State
University system face dramatic fee
increases.
A proposal to increase student fees
in the CSU by 4 0 percent was revealed
last month by California State Governor Pete Wilson. The $372 per-year
increase will make accessible, funds
for the CSU system that are not
available in the proposed state budget
Last year tuition for CSU schools
rose 20 percent Next year, with the
proposed increase, Full Time Equivalent students will pay $526 more per
year than they paid last year.
CSUSM President Bill Stacy said
the increased fee will help to ensure
the availability of more classes.
"What the $372 tries to offset is
shutting out 10,000 students or letting
10,000in when they don ' t have classes
available for them." Stacy said.
Even with the i ncreases,
California's fees for higher education
remain among the lowest in the nation.
Stacy said that there is room for fees
to grow inCalifomiabecause students
pay so little.
Last year, taxpayers spent over
$6,000 per-year, per-student, while
students paid only $790. The fee increase will shift some of the financial
burdens from the backs of taxpayers
to the pocketbooks of those utilizing
the educational system.
Stacy said that students in the Midwest pay as much as half of their
tuition costs in fees.
"California remains the last great
spot in America where taxpayers
provide almost free public education,"
Stacy said.
Budgetary problems in California's
systems of higher education can be
traced back nearly a decade, with
universities carrying over money they
never had.
Stacy said the legislative budget
cuts to higher education reflect an
effort by the Wilson administration to
put an end to such practices.
"The Governor came in with the
idea that, 'all this unfunded stuff is
silly. Why don't we just give up on the
unfunded and quit trying to carry over
money you didn't get three years ago.
Let's just admit that you don't have it
and get rid of it,'" Stacy said in an
interview after last year's tuition hike.
As a result of last year's budget
cuts, campuses across the CSU system
were forced to trim administrative
and faculty costs.
San Diego State University reduced its North County campus
population by as much as 75 percent
and axed over 500 classes from the
university. The action was taken in
response to a $ 19.8 million legislative
cutback in the campus budget for fiscal year 1991-1992.
As a result of the cutbacks, SDSU
students remain hard-pressed to find
open seats in needed classes.
CSUSM, as an infant university,
was the only school in the CSU system with an increased budget for this
year. The campus was, however, unable to increase its faculty population
as quickly as planned. As a result
CSUSM has seven less instructors
this semester than it had originally
anticipated.
According to Stacy, the CSU Board
of Trustees supports the fee increase
and this month will recommend to the
state legislature that the increase be
implemented for the fall 1992 semester.
"The increase was the least bad of
four alternatives," Stacy said.
The CSU Board of Trustees looked
at four different manners of gaining
revenues for the financially ailing

Anderson chosen as Business Dean
Dr. Beverlee Anderson has been
appointed as Dean of the College of
Business Administration at Cal State
San Marcos, one semester later than
originally planned due to a continuation of the national search.
"We are indeed fortunate to obtain
aperson of Dr. Anderson's experience
and proven ability to fill such a critical position," said Stacy, making the
announcement after the second nationwide search was completed. "The
dean will be a key architect in the
shape and definition of our business
program and the accreditation process
the College of Business Administration will undergo.
"Dr. Anderson's experience as the
first dean of business at the university
of Wisconsin-Parkside will serve us
well as we move ahead with our
commitment to providing business
leaders in north County. She not only
brings her experience as a dean, but
also her vision of a business school o fthe 21 stcentury which is both national

and international."
Last July, Academic Vice President Richard Millman extened the
nationwide search until October.
Millman cited a lack of enthusiasm
with the original candidates and no
minority representatives in the pool
of applicants.
"For faculty positions, it is impor-
tant for us to have a diverse pool of
applicants," Millman wrote in a letter
to the faculty . "For senior administrative positions, it is mandatory."
Currently, CSUSM surpasses both
CSU and nationwide ratios of minority and female faculty members.
Anderson joined CSUSM Feb. 1.
She served as Dean of the School
of B usiness of the University of Wisconsin (Parkside) since 1988, and was
chairwoman of the Department of
Marketing at Wright S tate University
for four years, as well as director of
their Center for Consumer Studies.
Anderson received her MBA and
Ph.D. from Ohio State, concentrating
on marketing and consumer behavior. Her BS is also from Ohio State,
with a concentration is transportations and traffic management.
"It's the kind of opportunity that's
an educator's dream," said Anderson.
"The opportunity to build a business
school from the ground up comes
once in lifetime at most."

Noon Time Concerts
The first alternative, to get more
money from the state legislature, was
not an option since there are no excess
funds in the state treasury from which
to draw.
SincetheCSUhadalready incurred
drastic cuts last semester, the second
option of curtailing spending habits
would make the availability of classes
even more scarce.
Trustee members felt the CSU
would be guilty of "ethical fraud" if
they tried to gain revenues by increasing enrollment, since classes
would not be available for more students.
The fee increase was the last resort
for a university system caught in the
brambles of a financial crisis.
"Students have a real obligation to
look at the facts," Stacy said. "Last
year they paid more but got less
classes. This year, the money goes to
the CSU to restore classes."
In addition to the fee hike, the CSU
Board of Trustees is putting a freeze
on the system-wide growth of the
student population.
Inadraftof budget talks sent out to
CSU presidents last week, Chancellor Barry Munitz informed campuses
tocurtail enrollment. CSUSM holds a
top spot in Munitz's budget because
of construction costs and anticipated
growth.
Stacy said he doesn't feel that the
tuition hike will affect the CSU's
mission of providing affordable education to all qualified students, rather,
he said students will be able to absorb
the higher fees without much financial
duress.

"That's definitely a presidential
call. He will have to decide what is
needed on site for teaching," Amado
said.
Bidding for the construction of the
campus parking lot begins today. The
lot is scheduled for completion Aug.
1.
According to Amado, crews have
already begun painting the interior
walls and installing finished cabinets
in the Laboratory Building. He said
that due to the sophistication of the
Laboratory Building, the Lecture
Building, which is currently at an
earlier stage of construction, should
be completed first.
"It looks really good for August
1992 for the lecture and laboratory
buildings," said Amado.

�Taking PRIDE in CSU San Marcos
When Cal State San Marcos first
started, it did not advertise its birth to
draw students. Instead, the administration sent out letters to selected
students around the area and asked
them to attend. The remaining students
discovered the university from their
own searching.
The letters established a personal
standard. This personal relationship
between the administration and the
students still holds true today, although
it may be lost in years to come.
A new program is setting new
traditions while keeping that personal
touch. It shows how a few students
have a lot of pride in their university.
Maria Alvarado, Barbara Rollins,
James Kochi, Carol-Jeanne Form an,
G ezai B erthane and Ramona

Some of the tasks of the student
ambassadors include giving presentations at local community colleges
and high schools, giving tours of the

personally to calls or letters about the
university.
The group uses a pride of lions as
their logo, a symbol that reflects the

Student involvement has been
promoted on campus since day one.
With CSUSM still in its infancy, it is
up to the students, and how involved
they get, that determines the campus
personality and traditions. To the students' disadvantage, however, there
is no one publication that lists everything. Until now.
In Pioneer's next edition, you will
find the most complete list of clubs,
organizations, committees, councils
and publications that allow student
involvement. It will be the most
complete report on what has been
around and what is just getting started.
Of course, we need everyone's
help. If you are a member of a club,
are starting a club or need student
involvement, contact Pioneer at 7524998 or send a note through the mail.
Local Boys and Girls Club offers
child care for students, faculty
With a few alterations to the
original plans, The Boys and Girls
Club of San Marcos has teamed up
with Cal State San Marcos to
provide a child care program to
students and faculty.
Under the revised plan, the
Woodland Park branch of the Boys
and Girls Club of San Marcos is
being used and the service is being
offered Monday through Thursday.
O riginally the program w as
planned for the club located on
Rancheros Drive and only offer
three nights a week.
The program offers child care
for children enrolled in first grade
of higher from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. To
use the service, students are required to pay a membership fee of
$15 to join the club, Tanis Brown,
an organizer of the program, said
that anyone that participates in any
club program has to become a
member.
"As members of the club, students would be able to participate
in any program (at the club)," said
Brown, who also serve as an undergraduate-at-large representative
on the Associated Students Council.
The fee is a yearly due and frees
the school of all liability.
Sue Aldana, with the Boys and
Girls Club, said the membership
fee also allows parents who attend
classes during the day to leave
their children at the club, a program
that already exists.
"The new program is to extent
our hours into the evening," Aldana
said. "The idea of this program is
to set it up for parents going to
school at night"
In addition to the membership
fees, there is a $5 fee per child for
each night the child car service is
used. A sliding scale is available
for families with more than one
child enrolled.
To obtain registration forms,
call 752-4950. Pre-registration is
required for the evening program.

It looks as if the freerideknown as California higher
education is nearing the end of the line.
With proposed budget hikes of 4 0 percent this year
and 20 percent last year, those wishing to to take
advantage of one of the most cost-effective forms of
education in the nation are going to have to pay a little
more.
It's about time.

of cost hikes.
STAFF EDITORIAL
To begin
with, the CSU system has, for the last decade, looked at
its budget throughfish-eyelenses. It has been incurring
bills and carrying money over years before the funding
even became available.
Taxpayers, who paid over $6,000 per year for each
student enrolled in the CSU, didn't even notice the
rampant spending, since they were already acclimated
to governmental misappropriation of their monies.
Since the CSU will get more of its funding from
students, it will be held more accountable to its pupil
population. Consumers who pay more for a product
become miserly and demanding of higher product quality.
Conversely, the CSU can expect more from its
students.
CSU has been one of the most affordable social clubs
in the nation. For a minimal fee, club members could
hang out on the college campuses for six or seven years
and still fail to graduate.
Hopefully, a slight squeeze on the wallets of social
butterflies will encourage them to fly more quickly
through their education than flutter by from Greek
system to Greek system.
Students paying more for education will want to
complete their studies more quickly, rather than slip
deeper into debt with the passing years.
As a result, the CSU can expect slightly better
academic performances from its students due to fee
increases. Education will become work for those only
willing to extend their community college career.
For the most part, students in the CSU system are
shelved on the lower levels of state educational stratification. Overall GPAs don't nearly compare to the
averages in the UC system or private schools who
charge more for education. CSU students are known
more for their party habits than their studious rigor.
If a fee increase achieves anything, let's hope it at
least gets the reputation of an ailing system back on the
fas^t track. 4

Chicken relays fowl U.S. forecast
. .. So there I was, gnawing on a chicken leg, thinking about
nothing in particular when this thing happened to me.
Call it a hunch or a twisted perception or a woo woo weirdness
of the mind propagated from baby-induced lack of R.E.M. sleep.
Whatever it was, it occurred while I was holding the bird.
I was thinking about the Recession and Japan and the ex-Soviet
Union and the Persian Gulf War and Pat Buchanan when the roasted
carcass of chicken on my dinner table revealed to me a startling
revelation of future events. All of those little tidbits of information
that fly through the air on the wings of a sound bite congealed
together for one unsettling and inarguably awful augural moment of
time.
I saw, for an instant, the grim state of economic affairs in the
United States. We are caught in a self-perpetuating whirlwind of
economic turmoil. Businesses are reducing their work forces to cut
back on spending. Consumers are cutting their spending because of
less work, thereby making businesses further reduce their work
forces.
All the while, those standing in line at the welfare office that once
stood in line at Nordstrom's are blaming the Japanese for their
economic hard times. They complain over the noise of their Sansui
stereos while they drive their Toyotas to Mitsubishi Bank to cash
their welfare checks.
To compound our economic problems, America is circling high
in a thermal of patriotism. Our overwhelming victory in the Persian
3ulf has thrust our egos into the unreachable heights of the stratosphere.
Workers laid off from their jobs are turning businesses into
oattlefields where desperate employers become the sworn enemies

and at the same time adrenalized by military victory that humane
rationalization stands in peril.
Just face it, humbling Iraq was relatively easy and it felt darned
good. Mr. America, Pat Buchanan, knows how good it felt and
would like to go back for more. The startling fact is that a great many
Americans agree with him.
If we do go back for second helpings of Saddam Hussein rump
roast, the United States stands in danger of becoming addicted to the
patriotic power pill.
In the name of the goodol U.S of A., almost any tiny excuse could
turn into impetus for conquering our economic adversaries. Conceivably, Japan or Germany could be taken over by brute force if
desperation prevails.
I seriously doubt that the United States will ever become such a
thunderhead of imperialism, but the prospect does have a terrifying
element of forebodance that cannot be so easily discarded under the
pressure of ultimate desperation.

The American political psyche is built on
two basic dispositions: the assumption of equal
civil rights for all, coupled with the notion of
individualism. These two guidelines draw the
most basic distinctions in Americans' political
beliefs, and this dichotomy is the basis for the
prominence of only two major parties. In other
words, the Republicans tendtowards a belief in
the individual (or private firm) being the best
solver of problems, and creators of opportunity,
while the Democrats consider societal equity to
be America's calling, and they champion the
cause of benevolent governmental activity.
Hence the lines are easily drawn on the basis
of agenda. On the environment, education, and
health care, the Republican penchant for lax or
nonexistent policy has become commonplace.
For every hole in the Republican domestic
agenda, the Democrats offer up a half dozen
alternatives, with the government at the helm.
Unfortunately, America's problems cannot be
solved through either lack of directive {Republican policy) or behemoth government (Democratic policy).
No wonder that so many voters don't vote.
The bulk of political campaigns are attempts to
discredit opponents instead of generate solutions. Ultimately, policy formation within the
two parties is relegated to reactive posturing.
Politics will kill the Civil Rights movement.
Every issue in the Civil Rights movement is
caught in the middle of the cross-fire described
above. From Eisenhower's hesitancy to intervene in States' policy towards school integration,
to Reagan's candidly fond remembrance of an
era that saw no discussion of societal inequality,
to President Bush's recent reluctance to support
Civil Rights legislation, the Republican record
is a consistent inactivity or opposition to strong
Civil Rights policy. Interestingly, this is consistent with Republican party belief that government cannot legislate "fair" or "caring"
mentality, and is therefore a poor director of
public and private behavior.
Of course, the Democratic party traditionally champions causes of the poor and disadvantaged, so the Civil Rights movement finds a
home here. Unfortunately, voters are forced by
nature of the two party system to choose a
party's full agenda, or to choose the opposite
party. By default, this ties the future success of
the Civil Rights movement to the Democratic
party. A danger of extinction arises as the
Democrats busily reorganizes to woo anxious
middle class voters who are more concerned
with their own feeble economic futures then the
promotion of special interest legislation.
In fact, scary candidates like David Duke do
best when the economy goes soft. White middle
America is easily persuaded that our country's
diversity is somehow threatening our long-term
strength as a nation. Particularly sensitive is any
talk of hiring quotas that are racially based, and
therefore seemingly exclusive of the existent
majority (whites). Affirmative action policy is
frequently cast in just those terms so as to
oversimplify the issues and scare people.
Ironically, most Americans are comfortable
with both aspects of the political psyche mentioned earlier equality and individualism. For
most of us, equal opportunity is perfectly palatable, although the practical translation of this
term is widely disputed. Likewise, individualism is held to be the backbone of American
ingenuity and drive, but most of us disdain the
conspicuous consumption of Wall Street's
abusers. Clearly, Americans on whole want a
fair society where anyone hard-working can
succeed. It is practically correct to include Civil
Rights in a permanent public policy.
The Civil Rights movement would be wise to
become less political in order to have a more
successful political process. Civil Rights is
best, and most widely supported, when it seeks
to protect all people from unfairness and
prejudice. It will find that too close an allegiance with "political correctness" is political
suicide.

Major needed to boost writing skills
Due to the general deterioration of English
writing skills in American educational institutions, many of this country's industrial and
economic institutions are questioning the academic standards that allow college and university students to graduate without adequate
writing skills.
Our own CSUSM is trying to remedy the
situation with its revolutionary writing requirement of 2,500 written words per class.
Only one class on our campus, Expository
Writing for Teachers, could be classified as a
forum for improvement of upper division academic writing, yet it will not be offered during
the current spring semester. The idea that the
campus writing requirement could be facilitated
by a single class reflects a lack of planning and
disregard for writing skills which is pervasive at
all levels of education:
Yet the dilemma we are witnessing may not
be apathy or neglect but the fear of writing. In
the essay, 'Teaching English as a Creative Art,"
writer/theorist Jean Pumphery explains, "Writing is and always will be the most difficult of
human endeavors." Therefore, CSUSM must
supply the means to improve the writing ability
of students who desire more intensive composition training.
Some students have the desire to improve
their writing proficiency after completion of
English Composition classes at the lower division level. Other students will have the desire to

FORUM
the growth of all students' writing potential.
The majors being offered in history, social science, math, (in addition to the post graduate
credential program) indicate that this university
has taken responsibility of educating the teachers
of the future.
To provide our country and our children with
the best educators of the 21st century, we, as
students, must conquer the problem of written
communication before we can teach or
thoughtfully interact with our peers.
One answer is the addition of an English
Composition major. A new major in this area
would not only provide more classes for English
majors who have an intense interest in written
communication, but it would give all students
the chance to enroll in writing classes that are
not offered now.
New classes would back up the founding
faculty's and administration's rhetoric encapsulated in the writing across the curriculum goal
and provide substantive guidance for students
who want to improve their writing skills.
If CSUSM wants to practice what it preaches,
there will be new classes to support the development of writing skills. The future of American education is being formulated at our university, and the skills necessary to rectify the
current writing problems at the elementary and
high school levels should be taught here.
learn the intricacies of writing of business or
industry. What does our curriculum offer to
accommodate these needs?
Writing across the curriculum is a wonderful
concept, but how will the staff of this university
encourage and help students who fall short in
their production of academic quality writing?
All students entered CSUSM to improve their
education and gain marketable skills. Thereby,
they have accepted the challenge of the writing
requirement. Where is the support for the students who want to improve their writing skills?
Since writing is part of all classes, will biology, math, and geography professors set aside
three to six hours of their classes to teach writing? Furthermore, can all instructors provide
proficient instruction in writing for their students?
Obviously, there is a need for a more diverse
writing curriculum at this university to support ~

Gorilla Tropics is the San Diego
Zoo's latest addition to its natural
habitat exhibits. Lush foliage,
cascading waterfalls and a grassy

environment of an African

The seven gorillas that dwell in

Five exhibits make up the
Gorilla Tropics complex. The
highlight of the attraction is the
10,000-square-foot gorilla enclosure. The new home for the animals
is five times larger than the previous gorilla enclosure. Glimpses of
these animals can be caught from
strategically placed viewing points
across waterfalls, through foliage
and from a suspension bridge.
The newly remodelled Scripps
aviary is another exhibit in Gorilla
Tropics. An elevated walkway
allows visitors to view birds in their
tree-top homes. The sky-blue
netting overhead disappears into
San Diego's skyline, creating for
visitors the effect of walking
through a rainforest.
A $200,000 computerized sound
system pipes sounds of the jungle

the tropic's walkways. Insect, bird
and animal sounds force listeners to

places to enjoy, that we who live
here can easily become immune to
their diversity. This gave me an idea
for a sort of travel column.
In every issue of the Pioneer,
until the end of the semester, I will
write about and photograph some
part of San Diego and its nearby
neighbors. Hopefully, I will
reaquaint you with some old
favorites and maybe introduce you
to some totally unknown regions.
I wanted to call my column "The
Hidden and not so Hidden Corners
of San Diego;" but the title is too
long. Next I thought of "Kathy's
Korners," but it sounds more like a
column on quilting or food news.
Larry suggested that we use
"Sullivan's Travels" in the tradition
of Gulliver.
How appropriate to have my first
column cover the San Diego Zoo —
one of the most prestigious zoos in
the world (And how long has it
been since you visited our famous
attraction?).
The zoo provided me with a
press package which included a free
bus ride. It was the first time I had
ever taken the bus tour. What a
great ride, well worth the $3 the zoo
charges.
The best seat on the bus is
standing at the rear of the upper
deck. You get a bird's-eye view of
the animals on both sides of the bus.
The bus driver keeps up lively
informative talk about the animals. I
not only had fun, but I learned a lot
about the zoo, the different species
of animals and their place in our
changing world.
The San Diego Zoo is changing
to meet the consciousness of the
90s. Their new practices of animal
maintainence makes viewing and
studying the animals a pleasant
experience. What a change from the
old, which displayed all animals of
one species in duplicate cages, to
the new, which displays animals
the rocks. The exhibits have been
constructed with hills and rocks,
watprf"lls and trees, and special
private places that the animals can
hide from human observation.
My day at the zoo was great fun.
-Some of the highlights include: the
size of the mouth of yawning hippo
through a 200mm camera lens, the
joy of seeing a newly born wild
horse still wet from birth, and the
sadness of knowing that I will

Late-night television dating shows
don't deliver good Valentine beaus
As a single woman with no steady
beau, I approach Valentine's Day with
little enthusiasm. S o far in life the
only misty eyes I've gotten from the
occasion were from the four red roses
a cherubic second grader gave me in
homeroom class (it turns out I was
allergic to the flowers).
But, as an adult, I yearn for those
little comforts that the weaker sex can
offer me: parallel parking, programing the VCR, tuning up the car and
lighting the barbecue.
Unfortunately, as a full-time student who holds a job and spends an
average of 55.7 hours in front of the
boob tube per week, finding a good
man can be as difficult as filling out
my 1040A Federal Income Tax Form
(another little asset men have to offer).
To solve my problem I turned to
my closest friend and confidant, the
21 -inch RCA color television set with
remote control that sits in my living
room.
It seems that late-night T.V. has
three shows created just for setting up
desperate single persons like myself
with the perfect mate.

sexes, yet all interject humor and, yes,
sometimes fabulous prizes. These
tender morsels of dating fodder can
be found weeknights from 10:30 to
(gasp) 1:00.
The first dating show of the night
holds the pretentious and decidedly
sexist title "Studs."
The idea behind the program is to
f ix t wo men (the studs noted in
aforementioned title) with the same
three different women. Host Mark
DeCarlo reads various responses that
the three women had to their dates.
The two guys then try to guess who
said what. If they guess correctly,
they get a little quilted heart. The man
with the most quilted hearts wins.
"Studs" e nds after each man
chooses which one of the three women
he would like to accompany on a
dream date of his design. If the woman
of his choosing agrees, and if he has
the most hearts, he gets the girl.
The biggest problem with "Studs"
is its unabashed sexism. There is always one woman of the three that
doesn't get chosen. "Studs" propagates the antiquated stereotype that
the man is the most qualified of the
sexes to choose a good date. The
women on the show are reduced to
litde more than sex-blubbering gameshow wallflowers hoping to be chosen for the next inuendo.
If "Studs" would only break the
grasp of male domination, it might be
a romantically rewarding experience
for its female contestants, instead it
stoops to clutch ratings with mindless
verbal foreplay and unalluring malebonding.
Finding "Studs" to be not a good
place to find men, I turned to the old
midnight standby, "The Love Connection," where "you can hear the
details of an intimate date."
The premise behind the program is
simple. A contestant (either male or
female) chooses a date from video
interviews. After the date, host Chuck
Woolery interviews both parties to
discover how the date proceeded. If
the date went well and the audience

�Liaisons' breaks dangerous new ground
Moonlight production defies tradition
with risque tale of cruelty, deception
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
As Cal State San Marcos is trying
to define its traditions, the Moonlight
Amphitheatre is breaking a tradition
held by most of North County's
community theaters. Instead of relying on tame classic musicals, the
Moonlight has put together a drama/
comedy production that can be considered a risquesex show.
Making its San D iego County
premiere, the Vista cast presents "Les
Liaisons Dangereuses" through Feb.
16.
With a one-set stage, 11 cast
members, and a story from Choderlos
de Laclos, the plot tells of revenge,
deception, sex, love and cruelty. The
close-knit cast performs a marvelous
production and shows, in very plain
language and actions, why this show
is promoted as "for mature audiences
only."
"This show gives us a license to do
a lot of things you can't do," said lead
actress Patti Goodwin. She plays La
Marquise de Merteuil, a proper French
women who is anything but proper
behind closed doors.
Goodwin dominates the stage of
"Dangerous Liaisons" with her performance while de Merteuil dominates the other characters with her
blackmail. Goodwin's performance
is stunning.
With the help of crisp direction
from Gary Krinke, she moves around
the stage with a glow of innocence
when the welcome mat is out and puts
on a better show when the doors are
closed.
"She is everything I wouldn't want
to be . .. but it's something that I can
set aside from myself and have fun
with," Goodwin said. "Her demise is
incredibly strong."
Goodwin has many musical perSEE M OON /PAGE 17

formances behind her, such as Anna
in the Moonlight's "The King and I,"
in Starlight's "The Wizard of Oz,"
"42nd Street" and "The Musical
Comedy Murders of 1940." This is
her first serious non-musical role and
she has made the transition perfectly.
Her male counterpart is played by
Roy Guenther Werner. As le Vicomte
de Valmont, Werner makes no distinction between private and public;
his on-stage love affairs outnumber
the cast members and contribute to
his reputation as le Vicomte.
Werner has an easy part. His lines
and appearances are many and difficult, but the ease comes from the
opportunity to seduce and sexually
arouse the female characters. He plays
his part with perfection and is one cast
number who can associate with his
character.
f "I was this part when I was young,"
Werner said in reference to his days in
college. "I have experience to draw
off of. I feel very comfortable with
this part."
Werner joins the Moonlight after
playing Rev. David Lee in the highacclaimed "The Foreigner" at North
Coast Repertory Theatre. He has performed in "Julius Caeser," "The

pre-picked the same person, they get
another date on the house.
'The Love Connection" avoids the
fallacies propagated in "Studs" by
illustrating that dating is a mutual
experience shared by two adults capable of deciding what they like.
From watching the show over the
years, I have discerned two different
types of "Love Connection" contestants:
The Sleeze—begins the interview
with the statement, "He/she looked
yummy in that leather outfit I was
ready to cut to the chaserightaway."
Usually the sleeze ends the interview
with a suggestion that the next date
will end up under the covers, or in a
sleeping bag, or on a hammock...
The Unable to Please—starts out
with the statement, "He/she wasn't
quite whatl expected... "and proceeds
to "the waiter/waitress at the restaurant was a hot number." Oftentimes,
this person is more interested in
gaining a television audience than
going on a date.
Unfortunately, I am neither good
with audiences nor willing to have
sex in a hammock so "The Love Connection" doesn't quite complete my
circuits.
Next, I turned to "The Personals"
at 12:30. The program pits one contestant against three wanna-be dates.
The three wanna-bes try to guess how
the contestant answered personal
questions. The person who guesses
the most amount of questions correctly wins a date.
At the close of "The Personals,"
the two winners are asked a series of
quick "yes" or "no" questions. If they
answer similarly to enough questions,
they could win a trip to Club Med. If
they blow it on the queries, then they
get an all expenses paid trip to a trashy
L.A. hot dog stand.
The questions range from, "Can
you make a slinky walk downstairs?"
to "Do you eat asparagus?" Host
Michael Berger delivers these questions in classic toungue-in-cheek style,
but even his quick wit doesn't save
the show from the plethora of corny
pick-up lines and phoney come-ons
that emanate from the contestants.
'The Personals" is strictly for those
types who find enjoyment at single
bars, love polyester and think Jim
Morrison is a genius.
So, with Valentine's Day approaching like a bloated commercial
pufferfish, I find that even the intellectual fountainhead known as television won't be able to fix me up with
a date.
I guess my only logical alternative
is to hit the video stores and rent a
Valentine classic like "The Way We
Were" or "Love Story." Not!

A NEW TWIST FOR BUDDY MOVIES
In Hollywood, the recent trend in celluloid is die macho buddy movie. In these
films male bonding runs amok and women
are treated as nothing more than sex objects. With Ridley Scott's "Thelma and
Louise," the buddy movie format is rewritten. Women become antiheroes that
fight persecution from an insensitive,
male-dominated society. See Sheila
Cosgrove's view in Through the Trees.

New building gives library home
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
With the opening of Craven Hall delayed and
limited space at the temporary campus, the Cal
State San Marcos library will move onto an offcampus site beginning in April.
The library's west wing will move into the
Foundation Building, formerly the Green Tiger
Press Building, along with Auxiliary Services.
The new site is on Carmel Road, off Twin Oaks
Valley Road just south of Highway 78. The
permanent site of CSUSM can be seen from the
building.
Auxiliary Services has already moved into
the building; the library's acquisitions and
processing department will move during Spring
Break.
"We'll move into a new office and have more
space, but it won't be here," said Marion Reid,
library director.
Currently, the temporary campus holds
20,000 volumes of books. Students can check
these books out three different ways - by appointment, during scheduled browsing times or
by paging - but students do not have access to
the entire CSUSM collection.
There are over 40,000 volumes in possession; the remaining books are packed away in
boxes.
Reid said the Foundation Building can hold
up to 120,000 volumes at build-out Craven
Hall, scheduled to open in spring of 1993, will
hold 80,000 volumes. At the current rate of
acquisition, the university will befilledto that
capacity by 1998 or 1999, Reid said.
ThehtarybuildingonthepOTiianentcampus
is scheduled to begin construction in phase two,
which is awaiting finances.
The move may not affect the students, according to Reid. She is unsure at this point in
planning if students will be able to visit the
Foundation Building, and is pursuing another
option.
"I foresee the development of a more efficient
paging system," Reid said. Paging is when a
studentfindsthe needed book in the card catalog
and then orders it; the book is found and taken
to the library's front desk in about half a day,
according to Reid.
"But we needamore up-to-date card catalog,"
Reid said. Of the total bodes in stock, only
12,000 volumes are in the card catalog.
"So the solution is to get the Automated
Library System up and working," Reid said in
reference to the newly acquired computerized
card catalog. "It'll provide a more complete
l ist"
The system's mainframe is undergoing tests
at the Foundation Building and staff members
have completed several hours of training.
"My target date is to have it running by the
time the books are out of here," Reid said.
Executive Vice President, Dick Rush, said
the Foundation has signed afive-yearlease with
"very favorable terms" from the building's
owner, Jerry Macchia. Rush said Macchia, a
local resident,kept the building in good condition
and thus, needs little renovation.
"It was all ready for us and that's a great
advantage," Rush said.
The Foundation can resign the lease after
five years or may have the option to buy. Rush
hopes that in the future someone will buy the
building a donate it to the Foundation.
The Foundation Building is a two-level,
11300 structure. The library will occupy the
three-story warehouse on the first floor and
Auxiliary Services will occupy the second floor.
Women still dominate enrollment
For the first time in its short history, students
at Cal State San Marcos are faced with crowded
parking lots, bookstore lines and impacted
classes as a result of growing enrollment
Yet, problems associated with impaction at
CSUSM are minimal when compared to nearby
San Diego State University and most of the
other CSU-system schools. CSUSM is one of
the three CSU schools that was not forced to
reduce its enrollment this semester due to system-wide budgetary stress.
As of Feb. 10, the population at the infant
university grew by 144 students. The amount
represents a 12 percent increase over last semester. Spring 1991 enrollment reached only
634 students.
Demographically, women still comprise the
majority of the students, filling 70 percent of
classroom seats. The male population climbed 3
percent over last semester, but still remains far
below state and national enrollment averages.
The University's goal of 750 Full Time
Equivalent (FTE) students was surpassed with
an average of 853.86 students qualifying for
FTE status. Last semester, the university was
just shy of attaining its 750 FTE goal.
State funding for the university is guided by
the number of FTE students enrolled. CSUSM
President Bill Stacy said he is pleased with the
enrollmentfigures,butadds that highernumbers
of students make getting classes more difficult

The combined number of FTE students from
fall 1991 and spring 1992 float high above the
university's original projections.
- Even with the increased enrollment, minority representation remains low. Of the various
ethnic groups represented at the university, 65
percent are white while only 1.5 percent of
students are African Americans.
Hispanics comprise the largest representation ofCSUSM's minority population by holding

Although ethnic representation among the
student population falls far below state and
national averages, the faculty profile at CSUSM
tells a different story. The university continues
to top system-wide and nation-wide comparisons
of minority and female representation among its
faculty.
Next semester, when CSUSM moves to its
permanent site off Twin Oaks Valley Road, the
student population is expected to climb to over
2,000.

Thefts commonplace
at university facilities

"Dora it appears as though there
has been a possible break-in in Bldg.
800 through one of the Emergency
doors. The Police have been called
and I'll have a police report on
Monday when you return to work"
On Dec. 26 at 6:30 p.m., P ora
Knoblock of Support Services received a call from the campus' Janitorial Service regarding a possible
break-in on campus. When she retrieved the message at approximately
7:40 a.m. four days later, Knoblock
was faced with the latest of a string of
thefts occurring at the temporary f acility of Cal State San Marcos.
Missing was a sophisticated sound
system and stereo belonging to the
College of Arts and Sciences. The
equipment was valuedat about $ 4300
and was needed for a noontime concert scheduled on the first day of
classes.
In November, hundreds of dollars
worth of merchandise was stolen from
the Full Belly Deli, which shares
Building 820 with the university.
During the same month, another
burglary was thwarted in Aztec Shops,
the campus' bookstore, when an alarm
system in the store frightened ¿way
the perpetrators.
In both incidents, burglars gained
access to the rooms through the
buildings' skylights. An official from
the Koll Company, which manages
the complex, said the skylights have
been secured since the episodes to
help curtail similar future incidents.
But past burglaries on the campus
have utilized different modes of entry
than skylights and jimmied doors.
On O ct 22 1990, almost $1,500
worth of merchandise was lifted from
Aztec Shops. The offenders gained
access into the building by breaking
the shop's rear window. Stolen items
included watches, calculators and

Sociology
P rofessor D r..
Thomas Shey said
that higher rates
c^^^BSett^Cnbq^ieiitly reflect troubled
economic times. He said that many
thefts are internal, perpetrated by individual with greater access to goods
than outsiders.
"On average, a lot more is stolen
than is known to be stolen," Shey
Said.
According to Shey, thefts are instigated by members of all social classes
and not just by those of lower economic status.
Because of the diverse blend of
students and faculty, universities are
especially vulnerable targets. Campus burglaries can be máde to look
like normal everyday activity since
equipment is routinely shifted around
by staff and students.
Patricia Farris, director of Business Services, said that, because the
campus is currently difficult to recognize as a university campus, the rate
of theft at CSUSM could be lower
than average.
"It is helpful to us that we're not
easily identified as a university," she
said.
Lieutenant Tom Schultheis, from
San Diego State University's Public
Safety Department, said that incidents
of theft at CSUSM are low when
compared to other CSU schools. He
said that theft rates are contingent
upon the size of campus and the
economic community in which it exists.
"We have a very high incidence of
property crimes at SDSU," Schultheis
said. "But if you look at the figures
closely, rates of theft are relatively
proportionate."*
Since CSUSM has not yet formed
a p olicing a gency of i ts o wn,
Schultheis consults and aids thè campus with its theft problems.
For the recent incident, Knoblock
. handed the case over to Schultheis.
Generally, incidents of theft on CSU
campuses are handled by university
police and noflócaì law enforcement
agencies. Campus police forces are
run by the state and have full law
enforcement abilities.
Schultheis said he believes the
sound system theft was a "crime of
convenience" orchestrated by youths.
Because the campus was not staffed
during the Christmas break, it was
vulnerable for an unnoticed break-in.
« Locks on two doors in the 800
Building were broken by strong
gripping devices, like p lumber's
wrenches, that could have been acquired by many people. Apart from
the door on Room 101, which contained the sound system, the locks on
an identical door leading to Financial
Services were also broken.
"Nothing leads me to believe that

�Proposed female condoms
will add additional protection
In case you haven't seen the bulletin board outside of Student Health
Services or paid attention to the media recently, National Condom Week
was being celebrated.
Actually, throughout the month of
February, all CSU campuses will
celebrate a National Condom Week.
This event began at UC Berkeley in
the 1970s and has become a high
profile educational campaign.
With that and the mass media
giving attention to the use ofcondoms,
although blatantly not allowing advertising on the major television networks, condoms seem to be coming
of age.
I was pleasantly surprised'and
amazed that on a Peter Jenning's
special "AIDS in America," two
teenage boys were allowed to role
play with honest and frank discussion
on the correct use of condoms, with a
demonstration of application on a
banana. This was major network
television.
Even if you think you know everything already, in this day and age
there is always more to learn about
sexually transmitted diseases and safer
sex.
Now on the horizon is the Female
Condom, which very recently was
approved by an advisory panel to the
Food and Drag Administration (FDA).
This particular female condom (there
are two other versions) has already
been approved in Switzerland and
soon will be distributed in France and
Great Britain. Hopefully, it will be
available within six to 10 months in
the U.S.
Many experts feel the female
condom is a major breakthrough since
it empowers women.
"Women will no longer have to
negotiate with a man or be dependent
on a man for protecting her," said Dr.
Mervyn Silverman, president of the
American Foundation for AIDS research.

Now that clubs and organizations are recognized by

OUR VIEWS
STAFF
Lincoln short-changed by CSUSM
Four score and several years ago, our forefathers had a holiday
dedicated to a man that was dedicated to the proposition that all
men were created equal.
Four score and several months ago that holiday was abolished
and replaced with an occasion that is dedicated to the unruly
proposition that all presidents were created equal.
I ' m talking, ofcourse, about the demise of the holiday that was
once known as Lincoln's Birthday, but is now affectionately
renounced as Presidents' Day.
Naturally, Lincoln's Birthday still exists, but he had the
misfortune of being born in the same month as another great man,
George Washington (who, like Honest Abe, once had a special
place on the calendar reserved for his birth but is resigned to
spend eternity as "just another one of those presidents with
wooden teeth who we honor with Presidents* Day.").
I surveyed seven grade-schoolers, asking them if they knew
the actual day of Abraham Lincoln's birth.
The overwhelming response was a resounding "I dunno," or
"Who cares, we don't get out of school for i t" For those trivia
buffs who can recall back just a few years to Lincoln's Birthday
celebrations, it is Feb. 12.
Okay, so Abe Lincoln has to share a holiday with Ronald
Reagan, Jimmy Carta*, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, Lyndon
Johnson, Herbert Hoover, Grover Cleveland, Andrew Johnson
e t all the rest. I can actually live with these arrangements.
For that one day of the year known as Presidents' Day, I can
pay homage to one of my all-time favorite dead persons.
What causes my spleen to fester is Cal State San Marcos'
reluctance to observe the holiday. For that day, governmental
offices are closed, mail delivery ceases and .grocery clerks get
paid triple time for half the work. Since I happen to have classes
on the day on which Presidents' Day occurred, I was unable to
work at the grocery store and earn triple pay while thanking Abe
Lincoln for making it so.
What I find particularly disturbing, albeit politically correct,
is the fact that the CSUSM campus was completely closed on Jan.
20 for Martin Luther King's Birthday.
Although I believe Martin Luther King was a great man
worthy of a national
holiday, I do not believe that he should
be allotted a higher
position in the holiday h ierarchy by
CSUSM than Lincoln.
By c losing t he
campus' doors f or
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
MartinLuther King's
Birthday and keeping them open for President's Day, CSUSM demonstrated just how intoxicated it has become by the hallucinogenic term
we have come to know as "political correctness."
Under the doctrine of "political correctness," traditional American
heroes like Lincoln are being replaced by contemporary ethnic heroes
like Martin Luther King."Political correctness" affords no opportunity
for the melding of old and new ideologies, rather it encourages
sacrificing traditions for the new global awareness order.
If CSUSM had kept its doors open during Martin Luther King's
Birthday, it undoubtedly would have opened itselftoattack by factions
claiming that theinstitution of higher education was supporting racism.
These same factions complained when San Diego rejected a proposition to name its Convention C ento after the important African American leader, even though Martin Luther King had nothing at all to do
with commerce in San Diego.
Because not one of our presidents was a minority, the university was
safe in keeping its doors open without factional outcry.
One important note should be posted on why Presidents' Day was
created in the first place. Since Martin Luther King's birthday fell so
close to Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, creating a holiday for
the civil rights leader would place too many government-sanctioned
holidays too close together. By forming Presidents' Day, room could
be made to accommodate a holiday for Dr. King.
Now King is the only person to have a federal and state holiday all
to himself. Somehow that notion places Lincoln on a l ow» shelf.
It is ironic that two men who so strongly championed the cause of
equality can get such unequal billing on the calendar marquis.

tion in organizations and events on campus has been
disappointing at best.
For example, last semester CSUSM President Bill
Stacy heldi open forums where students could share the
obstacles incurred while attending the new university.
Despite the fact that Stacy scheduled four separate of
these meetings at different days and times to accommodate all willing students, only a handful took advantage
of the opportunity to share their gripes with the president of a university.
The Associated Students is always in the need of
volunteers to get involved with academic committees
and student affairs; yet, positions remain unfilled. As
the campus population grows, student participation in
A.S. elections has dropped from 35 percent to less than
17 percent.
Although CSUSM's first yearbook, the Tukut, came
out this spring, Editor Barbara Pender had trouble
finding helperstoputthe book together. The remarkable
finished product was completed by only a few dedicated
students.
Even the student newspaper has difficulty getting
students involved. This editorial, for instance, will
possibly generateagreatdeal of verbal studentresponse;
however very, very few students will take a half hour of
their time and share their views in letter form.
Sure their are the exceptions to the dismal rule. The
students who worked on the Tukut are just one example.
Other students play active roles in student government
and regularly write to Pioneer. Still others have formed
clubs like the the Argonaut Society or SA.L.T. to share
their special views.
These organizations and others are designed, intentionally or not, to appeal to the special interests of
students to make their college experience more enjoyable and productive.
The Star Trek club, for instance, invites students to
go where no one has gone before, while the soccer club
asks students to physically show their competitive spirit.
Hopefully the acceptance of the new clubs and
organizations will inspire students to actively participate
in campus events and place a piece of themselves into
the foundation of CSUSM. If not, this infant university
is doomed to grow into a troubled adolescent

A THOUGHT;
"Evil report carries
farther than any
applause."
BALTASAR GRACIAN, 1647
"Pardon me, sir, but what part of the word
"NO" don't you understand?" As of the Mike
Tyson date-rape conviction, this is no long»* a
joke. Rape of any type was never funny. Now,
finally, date assaults may be taken more seriously.
What has changed with the Tyson conviction
that makes this case a bellwether? The setting
and circumstance of the Tyson trial made the
case against the male assaulter more credible at
a time that our country had barely digested the
less convincing accusations of Anita Hill
(charging then Supreme Court nominee Clarence
Thomas with sexual harassment), and ****
(charging William Kennedy Smith with date
rape).
Anita Hill just wasn't completely buyable.
On-going polls reflected American's split in
their perception of her recollections. Likewise,
public opinion ofMr. Thomas was dichotomatic.
Particularly discrediting to Ms. Hill's case
was the breadth and depth of Mr. Thomas'
witnesses recounting their amicable demeanor
while together. From high-powered Washington D.C. attorneys to prestigious lawprofessors,
the story was consistent that she was fond of the
judge, admired and respected him, and certainly
closely followed in his career progressions. It
seemed impossible that this many students of
the law and workplace ethics - black and white,
male and female - could have missed any sign of
the personal torture she swore to.
Ultimately, Mr. Thomas won the painfully
sought seat on the land's highest bench. Probably the truth suffered the most in this Senate
debacle. There is no longer value in discussing
what really happened. Those emotional days are
testimony to democracy's potentially wretched
DAVID HAMMOND

side of public scrutiny of private facts in the
lives of civil servants.
However, the country strangely benefited.
Suddenly, sexual harassment was real to everyone, instead of just its victims. Employers
redoubled efforts to prevent the problem, including sensitivity training, heightened awareness, and stricter corporate policy and punishment The pain was out of the closet and the
jokes got canned. In my own personal experiences, myselfand other bachelors evaluated our
vocabulary and posturing with women. We
weren't the bad guys before, but now we would
stricdy mind our manners.
Then the arrest and trial of William Kennedy
Smith jarred our collective psyche again before
our new correctness couldbackslide. Once again,
the issues were cast by celebrity-size characters.
The alleged victim became a familiar blue hue,
a seeming metaphor for a loss of dignity and
self.
The Kennedy clan performed like a circusvargas. Central to the drama was Ted
"Chapaquidick" Kennedy trying to downplay
the well established stud image of his family
heritage. All the stories of John F. Kennedy
White House orgies resurfaced. The male
Kennedy mind-set was best exemplified by the
"traditional" Easter brunch discussion that
weekend: did Willie really rape this girl?
Unfortunately, Ms. ****'s story spurred some
reasonable doubts. She left with a stranger from
a single's bar. She took off her panty-hose prior
to a walk on the beach. She called William, her
alleged assailant, Michael. Once again,
democracy's soft-side prevented a potential
breach ofjustice by barring punishment without
absolute certainty of criminal behavior.
Unfortunately, the system's penchant for
safeguards began discouraging women's faith
in justice. It was easy - even rational - to be
cynical. Two major cases for sexual misconduct
became two brilliant examples of women's
vulnerability.
In the case of Mike Tyson, the pieces fell
together for the prosecution. There was nodoubt
that sex had occurred. Robin Givens, Tyson's
ex-wife, once told national TV that Mr. Tyson
resented to domestic violence to get his way.
Instead of the accused being a judge, or medical
student, he was an ex-con with repeat offenses.
The jury believed that the victim said "No," and
that Mr. Tyson forced sexual intercourse. The
conviction was rape.
Democracy is no easy game to play. The
system constantly strains to balance justice with
civil rights. Hence, the system is an act of
collective faith. That is, its participants must
assume that it works more often than it fails.
When it does work, and it usually does, it is the
greatest act of humankind in motion. Today,
women may have just a little more faith in
justice protecting them.

Check out what's rolling off the presses
Have you seen the new San Diego UnionTribune? Or a more recent change, have you
seen the new San Diego Reader? Both newspapers have drastically changed the form of
their publication and the look.
Now, have you seen the new Pioneer?
Yes, Pioneer is different this semester. If you
can recall back to last semester, this Cal State
San Marcos newspaper was twice the size as the
one your holding. There was color, two sections
and even a Classified Section.
The reasons for our change could be paralleled to those of the larger newspapers mentioned, yet on a much smaller scale. The results
are the same too.
The main reason is, of course, advertising.
Pioneer does not rely on CSUSM or Associated
Students funding to support each issue. Instead,
the editions, as well as supplies, utilities, business expenses and licenses are paid totally
through advertising.
Last semester, businesses were advertising
within these pages because we had caught your
attention with a student-oriented publication
and an intercollegiate circulation. We can confirm that CSUSM students and students at five
other North County colleges were reading our
paper. The problem is that you're not reading
the ads.
This issue, read the news content and thai
browse through to see the specials offered within
the ads. As a teaser, the Earthquake offers 20%
discounts to students and Comedy Nite offers
free admissions on certain nights; Touchless
Car Wash has some of the best deals inside our
paper.
We have your readership. Now we need your
support. Don't worry, Pioneer is not going under. But if you patronize the businesses advertised here, you ensure the return or a larger,
more fun-filled publication.

�IPUBLKANS • SPANISH C Ll
"Getlnvolved!" Since the first students were accepted
at Cal State San Marcos, that phrase has been spoken often on campus. But
for the first several semesters, there was no one way for students to find out
how to get involved with this infant university. Now with a student
government in place that is currently recognizing the first campus clubs,
Pioneer presents a comprehensive list o f...
¿«ORGANIZATIONS
With the social aspect of Cal State San Marcos
moving along in full force, the Associated Student
Council is recognizing clubs for the first time.
According to A.S. President Jose Chapman, there
was no method of recognizing clubs officially until
this semester.
' The concept of recognizing clubs is the same as
San Diego State University, but is tailored to
CSUSM's needs." said Chapman.
The A.S. has established an Inter-Club Council
( ICQ for relations between itself and the clubs. The
ICC's primary functions are to provide information
sharing, leadership development and supply information to the A.S. Council.
Gezai Berhane, College of Arts and Science rep-
resentative, serves as chairman of the ICC.
To get an organization officially recognized the
club must*
• submit an application, which can be obtained
from the A.S. Office;
• determine bylaws to be submitted with the
application;
• sign a non-discrimination statement, and;
• contact the Office of Student Affairs so an
account with Accounting Services may be established.
The A.S. is giving an allowance of $50 to each
club for start-up purposes; however, to receive the
funds, a club must have at least five active members.
The ICC held its first meeting last Friday. The
Compiled by KIMBERLY COURTNEY and JONATHAN YOUNG
club representatives decided to meet every other
week with the next meeting on Feb. 28. Each club
must send a representative to the 3 p.m. meetings in
the Student Lounge.
Currently, the interest level among clubs has been
relatively high with an average of eight to 10 members per club, according to Chapman. Some clubs
even have memberships of more than 20 students.
He said the ICC can assist with the formation of new
clubs and encourage the need for students to get
involved.
"I would like to see the clubs contribute to the
expansion of their awareness, tighten social bonds
and help students to advance socially and academically,** Chapman said.

Disney opens up old cartoon cape
There's action, mystery and comedy afoot when super sleuth Basil of
Baker Street returns to match wits
with old Nemesis, Professor Ratigan,
and challenge his diabolical scheme
to become "supreme ruler of all
mousedom" in Walt Disney Pictures'
delightful animated comedy caper,
"The Adventures of the Great Mouse
Detective."
Basil embarks on the greatest case
of his career when London's master
toy maker is mysteriously kidnapped
and the ingenious detective smells a
rat named Ratigan as the perpetrator.
Employing a variety of "mousequerades" and some elementary logic,
Basil pursues his rat rival from the
depths of London's sewers to the
dizzying heights of Big Ben's clock
tower. The breathtaking climax, set
against the meshing gears of the giant
clock, remains one of the most complex,, innovative and exciting sequences ever attempted in animation.
"The Adventures of the Great
Mouse Detective" was Disney's 26th
full length animated feature and, at
the time of its initial release in 1986,
signalled the beginning of a new period of productivity and experimentation for animation at the studio.
"The Adventures of the Great
Mouse Detective" was the first animated feature to go into production
under the new leadership of Jeffrey
Katzenberg, chairman of The Walt
Disney Studios, and Roy £ . Disney,
vice chairman of The Walt Disney
Company. Their ongoing commitment
to animation has resulted in some of

role than ever before in the
making of the Disney animated
feature.
The work in this film laid the
groundwork for even more sophisticated applications that
were to follow.
For the film's dramatic climax, in which Basil confronts
Ratigan in a deadly duel set
against the turning and thrashing gear-works of Big Ben, the
film makers combined their
traditional artistry with the latest in technology to create

Carlsbad project more like a prison than art
DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
The ocean wavesrippleupon the sand while
an orange glowfromthe setting sun reflects off
the blue waters. A cool breeze brushes against
the palm trees, rustling their leaves.
These are the sights and sounds of a typical
Southern California beach.
The city of Carlsbad has decided to add a
little something to their beach, a 7,500 squarefoot sculpture name "Split Pavilion." Most would
assume that a sculpture only yards away from
thebeachwouldbe conducivetothe environment
it surrounds. However, this sculpture consists of
steel bars and concrete pylons standing steadfastly, limiting most all views to the ocean.
From the street, the sculpture's bars look like
orderly sentries soaring to the sky, protecting
the ocean from any onlooker. The concrete
pylons represent large projectiles thrusting
through the concrete sidewalk. There are seats
for people to sit on and view the ocean, but they
are shapeless, concrete blobs. Moreover, when
people do sit on the seats, their views to the
ocean are partially obstructed by more steel
bars. While sitting anywhere within the sight of
the sculpture, the viewer will be surrounded by
steel bars and concrete walls and seats.
Nowhere is there any parallel between the
ocean and the sculpture. No soft colors, no soft
materials, no diagonal lines, no curves. Every
part of this sculpture juts toward the sky without
bending or shaping. This is totally opposite to
the beach, the ocean, the waves and die sun.
There will be a fountain with water falling
andrippling,creating some movement and some
shape.
But what need is there for a fountain with a
beautiful ocean yards away?
Created by New York artist, Andrea Blum,
the "Split Pavilion" cost the city $338,000. The
city began with a public review process for this
piece in 1987. Now that the sculpture is almost
done, some of the citizens of Carlsbad are dissatisfied with the way it looks; 4,000citizens of
Carlsbad signed apetition wanting the sculpture
to be removed.
If Carlsbad wanted a piece of art to decorate
its beaches, maybe it should have considered a
local artist, one who might have combined the
view with the sculpture instead of creating a
sculpture that obstructs the view.
This sculpture might have looked wonderful
on a New York beach, but on a Southern California beach, it looks out of place. Carlsbad has
a piece of art that looks like a prison.

It's hard to get through the video
store these days without running into
the latest Hollywood phenomenon the buddy movie.
By now you all know the basic
story. Two guys (one macho one not,
or two macho but never two not macho) get together and experience that
gagging spectacle known as male
bonding. At the beginning of the flick
the two guys hate each other, but for
some reason are forced to work togetherfightingcrime.
At the end of the movie both men
are the best of friends. They beat up
the bad guys, drink beer and denigrate
women.
The format began with Walter
Hill's '48 Hours' starring Eddie
Murphy and Nick Nolte. In that film
we saw Nolte drink gallons of whiskey, Murphy approach a large number of women with blatant sexual
advances, Nolte and Murphy continually beating up each other through
thedurationof the flick, andabsolutely
no endearing female characters.
Richard D onner's ' Lethal
Weapon' was slightly better mostly
because of Mel Gibson's buns. Yet,
apart from token parts, there were
really no significant female roles.

Women only filled slots that made the
male parts look better.
Each year a forest of this worthless
celluloid springs up into the fertile
ground ofour movie theaters and video
stores, propagating stereotypes that
should have fallen with the Bobby
Riggs. But through the trees one little
sapling of a buddy movie might
change the lode of the celluloidjungle.
With 'Thelma and Louise,' director Ridley Scott creates a buddy film
where women finally arise victorious
from the ashes of machismo.
The plot centers around two
women, Thelma (Geena Davis) and
Louise (Susan Sarandon), who turn to
crime to compensate for male exploitation.
The story begins when Louise invites Thelma to a mountain cabin for
the weekend. Thelma is the victim of
a marriage dominated by an insensitive louse of a husband. Louise, on the
other hand, has trouble finding commitment in her long-term relationship
(sound familiar?).
When the two stop at a bar on the
way to the mountains, the trouble
begins. A local yokel tries to rape
Thelma but is shot dead by a guntoting Louise.
The two flee from the scene in a
vintage Thunderbird and become fugitives. After all their money is stolen
by yet another male slime, the women
take to robbing convenience stores
for cash.
Again and again, Thelma and
Louise are accosted by men and fight
back with the vengeance of generations of suppressed women. Their
bonding is not alcohol-induced, but
incurred from a common thread of
persecution.
Davis accents her performance
with a believable modicum of crazed
desperation. Following her Oscarwinning performance in 'The Accidental Tourist,' she solidifies her
stance as one of Hollywood's most
versatile and dynamic actresses.
Sarandon also exhibits a vulneratjUity not found in male-bonding
flicks. Her Louise is the pillar of
strength upon which the movie is built

�February reveals hidden California greenery
If you haven't noticed, California
is a different kind of a state. We live
different, we eat different, we think
and dress different. Even our seasonal
colors are different.
When the rest of the U.S. tries to
put a color name to California they
usually use brown - California Brown.
How very sad. Those people have
never experienced what we are getting
ready to witness - California Green.
A special feeling emanates from
California in February and it revolves
around green. You know the type of
green - so luminescent that your eyes
squint from the reflected green glow.
As I sit in my office and watch the
raindrops fall I am not only thankful
for the needed moisture but I know
that for every drop a blade of grass
will grow. I also know as soon as this
storm abates that the sky will blaze
blue and fill with white puffy clouds
and the fields will turn to California
Green.
There is not a question of where I
want to immerse myself in the sky,
clouds, and green experience. The
place is Mesa Grande. This litde visited section of San Diego, has re-

mained as a reminder of what the
whole county used to be, vast expanses of cattle ranches.
Rolling hills, dotted with ancient
Oaks, speckled with beef cattle and
work horses, cut by meandering
streams and intruded by chunks of
granite, describe the Mesa Grande
scenery. Peaceful, timeless, eternal a perfect place to experience not only
California Green but nature's serenity.
Mesa Grande has no claim to fame,
there is absolutely nothing to do, no
stores, no parks, nothing but a road
cutting through cattle land, some barns
that probably looked just as run down
100 years ago and dark green Oak
trees framed against glowing green.
To reach Mesa Grande take
Highway 76 East, past Lake Henshaw,
then watch for the Mesa Grande turn
off. The Mesa Grande Road zigzags
up through a Oak forest. Near the top
of the hill pull off the road and enjoy

the panoramic view ofLake Henshaw,
Palomar Mountain and Warner
Springs.
From here to the end of the road
just drive slow and enjoy all the shades
of green that can happen to California
in February.
If you want to drive a loop, turn
right at the end of Mesa Grande Road
on to Highway 79. Takeafew minutes

Ysabel and Pala Mission are two of
the only California Missions still

�Last Year, Pioneer
Stole The Show
With only eight issues published, Cal State San Marcos' student newspaper entered competition for the first time. The new publication
surprised its own staff and other papers as it took seven top awards in the California Intercollegiate Press Association's
annual convention; Pioneer is now ranked as one of the top three weekly college publications.
This Year,
We're Running It
On April 9 ,10,11 and 12, Pioneer will welcome almost 500 college students to the 43rd California Intercollegiate Press Association's annual
convention - here in San Marcos. This is one event that everyone is going to be involved in, from Cal State San Marcos students
and staff to community businesses. But we can always use more help.
Student volunteers are needed to assist with the convention itself. The four day event will include 13 competitions and over
12 workshops and lectures. There will be over 300 trophies and certificates awarded. And we need almost 100 volunteers!
As you can see, there's a lot of numbers in this writers conference. But they all add up to the best conference in the history
of California journalism... and the best exposure of this new university to other studentsfromacross the state.
Get Involved! Call Pioneer at 752-4998
We're also accepting new writers & photographers!

As several departments move onto the permanent campus and plans are beingfinalizedfor
the move into the new Foundation Building, the
fact becomes clear that the Cal State San Marcos
community will be divided into five different
locations next semester.
The full use of the facilities and equipment,
however, depends on a bond issue that is
scheduled for the upcoming election. The five
sites include:
• The students will move into the Academic Core next fall, utilizing the lab complex
and lecture hall for classroom space. These two
buildings can accommodate 600 f ull time
equivalent students, according the original
projections. Currently, however, CSUSM has
853 FTE students, according to a Feb. 11 Admissions and Records report
• Two other structures on campus, the featured Craven Hall and the commons building,
will not be completed for the fall opening, and
not equipped until spring semester of 1993;
thus, the Los Vallecitos temporary campus, a
site used to house all university's operations the
first year- will remain open with administrative
and support services.
• The science facility will continue to be
used this fall. This o ffeampus lab complex is
located on Stone Drive, off Los Posas Drive
about a mile from the Los Vallecitos campus.
• The newly acquired Foundation Building, on Carmel Road east of the permanent
campus, will house auxiliary services and the
majority of the library collection. The building,
already being occupied by some staff members,
will be fully staffed by the end of Spring Break.
• The fifth building will be the Facility
Services Building, formerly referred to as the
Physical P lant Being the first structure completed on the permanent campus, it was filled
last week with several permanent and temporary
departments.
" It's going to be hectic at f irst There's no
question about that," said Dr. Larry Cohen,
founding faculty in science.
Cohen, along with other campus officials,
think the logistics of the multiple sites can be
solved to minimize the impact on students, but
a lot of the planning is based on funds the
campus does not have.
Dr. Richard Rush, CSUSM executive vice
president, said those funds would come from a
bond issue scheduled for this June's elections.
The bond for educational institutions in California would generate $900 million for the UC,
CSU and community college systems. CSUSM
would receive $8-9 million of that, with $6.4
million slated for equipping the five sites.
"The bond issue carries our equipment

Fund-raising at its highest
The 20 CSU campuses raised a record-high $96.4 million in private
gifts in 1990-91, according to the annual report of voluntary support
presented to the board.
The nearly $97 million presented a 9 percent increase for the $88
million raised in 1989-90; 15 campuses showed an increase this past
year. In a five-year span from 1986, the CSU has increased its private
funding by a third, going from $61.8 million to $96.4 million.

Thefts commonplace
at construction sites
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
With the growing permanent campus construction project off Twin Oaks
Valley Road, Cal State San Marcos
faces a theft problem that is not shared
by most other universities.
The 305-acre site contains materials that are easily accessible and
salvaged by would-be burglars. Because of the project's size, thieves
have greater entry access to the isolated site.
"It is fairly common to have construction site burglaries," said Albert
Amado, vice president of Physical
Planning and Campus Construction.
Electrical switching gear, tools and
copper wiring are among the items
that have been lifted from the site in
recent months. Complete electrical
generators have also been taken from
the location.
Terry Loose, project superintendent for the Phase I Academic Core,
estimated that between $10,000 and
$12,000of salvageable materials have
already been taken from the construction p roject Since several contractors
have simultaneous projects in progress
at the site, estimating the cost of losses
is d ifficult
Both Loose and Amado pointed
out that stolen materials can be sal-
vaged at only a fraction of their replacement costs.
"Some of the copper wiring stolen
probably represents a potential few
hundred dollars in selling, but cost the
contractor thousands," Amado said.
Copper wiring has actually been
stripped from the buildings after it
was installed. Amado said that these
thefts have caused considerable inconveniences but
have not compromised

Once a building is completed, the
financial burden shifts to the state.
Currently, only two buildings have
been completed.
In order to curtail thefts at the site,
Ninteman, the general contractor for
the Academic Core, and Bodell Construction, general contractor for Craven Hall, have agreed to jointly fund
security guards for the unfinished
buildings at the location.
mjm
"We have our own security that
covers all but the working hours at the
site," Loose said.
Buildings that have already been
completed, such as the Physical Plant
and Maintenance Facility, are patrolled by state-funded security.
Amado said that since security
agencies began patrolling in November, he hasn't heard of any on-site
thefts.
Jerry Brooks, a local landscaping
subcontractor, said that most construction projects he has worked with
experience some degree of theft.
Copper wiring, said Brooks, is the
most easily lifted item from sites.
He said larger items, such as tractors and heavy moving equipment,
are seldom stolen. For the most part,
thieves grab what is most accessible
and easily loaded into pick-up trucks.
Brooks said that most arrested
construction site burglars are either
transients or those of lower income
status. The typical construction-site
thief looks only for items that will
bring a few dollars in material value.
Copperfromwiring, f or instance, can
be melted down and pawned easily.
"The recession is not necessarily
to blame for these kinds of thefts,"
Loose said. "Construction-site thefts
are just something to be expected."
Yearbook seeking sponsors for club pages
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
In an attempt to obtain funding for
the second edition of Tukut, the yearbook staff is seeking businesses to
sponsor certain pages in the annual.
"The clubs and organizations that
are now appearing on campus will
have the opportunity to chose businesses and organizations to sponsor
their page in the yearbook," reads the
proposal. The sponsorship, per page,
would cost businesses $600.
Members of the yearbook staff
approached the campus clubs at
Friday's Inter Club Council meeting
asking for a list of business references
the clubs would like to sponsor their
page. The staff is asking for references so Tukut w on't " step on
anyone's toes."
"There are some clubs and corporations that are appropriate matches,"
said Barbara Pender, Tukut editor.
The requested references assure
the matched business is acceptable to
the clubs.
"This gives them (the clubs) an
opportunity to have their voice in it,"
said Karen Whitfield, a Tukut sales
member.
The cost to businesses would be
$600 per club, a non-negotiable price.
That price would pay for the one page
as well as offset the price of other
sections within the yearbook.
Pender said Tukut "went in the
hole" with the first yearbook edition.
The books, costing $44 to produce,
sold for $25 last semester and are
currently on sale in the bookstore for
$35.
"This is just one way to go after
one avenue of money," Whitfield said.
" It's just making it more school specific."
"We're just trying to create some
^ideas to offset the $14,000," said
Pender. She said $14,000 is needed to
produce this year's annual and still
keep the cost to the students at the
same price.
"The university still wants to sell it
at $25," Pender said.
The clubs are not responsible for
obtaining their own sponsors, just
supplying a list of three references.
The deadline for the list is March 6.
"If a club does get sponsor, then
they 're guaranteed a full page," Whitfield said. If the club does not have a
sponsor, then "we cannot guarantee
them a full page," she said.
" I can't make assurance one way
or the other. There'sno possible way,"
Whitfield said.
There is a possibility that all clubs
will have full pages, regardless of
sponsors. That fact depends on the
number of clubs, size of the yearbook,
other possible funding and several
other variables.
Regardless of sponsors or space,

Fee increase
won't affect
aid students
Despite a proposed 40 percent increase in tuition next year at Cal State
San Marcos, students in need of financial assistance for university fees
can still find funding for their education.
According to Paul Phillips, director of Financial Aid at CSUSM, needy
students can still get full funding for
their education at the university, despite the proposed 40 percent increase
in tuition.
"The Chancellor insisted that
money be set aside for financial aid
(should a fee increase be implemented)," Phillips said. "Dollar for
dollar it would be the same as the fee
increase."
Phillips estimated that about 300
students currently attending CSUSM
receive some sort of financial aid.
Around 50 of those are getting
scholarships, 258 currently receive
State University Grants, while 130
are accruing money from the Stafford
Loan. Phillips said students frequently
utilize one or more of these financial
sources to fund their education.
"I hope no student makes the decision that he/shecan't attend CSUSM
with the fee increase," Phillips said.
"In the worst case students can get
pretty good loans with low interest
fates from banks."
Phillips said there is still uncertainty as to whether or not the fee will
be implemented. Some legislators
expressed opposition to the proposal
after student lobbying groups rallied
at the state capital.
CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz,
however, is encouraging the legislature to pass the increase. The tuition
increase would make more classes
available for students with impacted
programs.
The CSU needs legislative approval for any fee increase exceeding
10 percent.

Pender said all clubs will be represented in Tukut.
"Everybody is going to be in the
book," Pender said. "There is no way
weare going to put out abook without
everyone in it."
In addition to club sponsors, the
Associated Students, Pioneer and the
Tukut itself will seek sponsors for
their pages. Pender said these groups
will probably have two pages each.

Medications for asthmatic patients
effective if used properly, frugally
In my practice of medicine in student health,
I am increasingly aware of the fact that asthma
is a very common medical problem. In fact, it
seems to be increasing in its incidence,
Asthma,5 which is characterized by episodes
of breathlessness and wheezing, is estimated to
affect one in 20 Americans and one in 10 children. The alarming news is that deaths, although
rare, have doubled in recent years.
A recent study in the prestigious 'New England Journal of Medicine ' attempts to determine
if commonly prescribed asthma medications
may contribute to this increase risk of fatal or
near-fatal episodes of asthma. The study found
that the more heavily a person relied on certain
inhaled medications the greater theriskof their
dying of asthma or of suffering a near-fatal
episode.
I feel the necessity to write about this study
because I frequently prescribe these medications
and I have already had a few patients using these
medications ask me is their continued use is
safe.
As in most areas of medicine nothing is black
or white. First of all, one of the medications in
this study is not used in the United States and is
the medication that .was associated with the
greatest
risk. i lMiJj . (

Secondly; thè study doesn't clearly identify
the severity of asthma in the control group. They
could have been less severe to begin with.
Finally, it is based on data from health insurance
files in Canada not on examination of patients.
Enough of the science.
These inhaled medications, such as Ventolin

Corp., are widely used and so extremely effective

in reducing the symptoms of asthma (such as
wheezing and shortness of breath) that patients
overuse them. If their asthma worsens the natural response is to use their inhalers more often,
rather than seek attention to treat the underlying
condition which is making their wheezing worse.
Most experts agrees that when used as prescribed, these are safe, medications. If using to
the prescribed amount doesn't control the episode, then other medications and treatment is
necessary. Patients cannot always rely solely of
either Proventil of Ventolin. However, if this
study and its results cause patients to stop using
these medications, they could get into serious
trouble.
I feel the facts are clear. Inhaled medications
like Proventil or Ventolin are $afe whpn used in
the prescribed amount, but if that doesn't control the problem,patients need to seek appropriate
medical attention.

�Recycling program
at CSUSM needs
club participation
Last September, Cal State San Marcos President Bill
Stacy approached the Associated Students with the idea
of starting a recycling program on campus. A half year
later the campus is still without a method for gathering
waste products that can be reused rather than dumped in
local overflowing landfills.
In a university which hopes to build a sense of
awareness on a global level, the lack of campus bins for
recyclables is deplorable.

For the past few months I had been meaning to spay the stupid
c at Unfortunately, due to baby blues, breaking news and school
dues I had placed the task far down on my list of priorities.
Last Tuesday night I paid the price.
Upon arriving home from work at midnight I discovered,
much to my dismay, that I had been locked out of my house.
Inside my wife slept in undisturbed slumber as I pounded
frantically on the door. I phoned several times hoping to wake
her, but the ringer had been switched off.
I settled down at the top of the stairs with the hopes that soon
my wife would awaken, notice my absence, listen to the pleading
phone messages and open the door for me, when suddenly the cat
appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
Usually the animal possesses a quiet demeanor of domestication and seldom likes to prowl the grounds at night. But tonight
it roamed like a howling tiling possessed.
At once I realized the gravity of the situation. The cat was in
heat
I envisioned a hoard of gobbling, pooping, clawing kittens
overrunning my happy home leaving in their wake a tattered trail
of torn carpet and hairballs.
I looked out into the apartment grounds and, to my horror,
spied every male cat within a ten mile radius courting my
feminine feline.
With lightening speed I darted down the stairs, catching the
cat before she was violated. I carried the mewling thing up the
stairs and used my body as a shield between her and the desperate
mob of males.
For the next four and a half hours I was a prisoner.
The cat sat on its haunches unblinking, ready to pounce on the
first opportunity to slip by my guard.
My original plan entailed the vigorousritualof beating on the
door with the hopes that I could possibly awaken the sleeping
spouse, however the cat positioned herselffirmlyon the doorstep.
I knew that any move toward the door would afford the animal
the opportunity of escape.
So I s at

began to overtake my
consciousness.
"Eat the cat," it
urged. "Beat it on the
head with your coffee mug and cook it
with your cigarette lighter."
I licked my chops and the cat settled down in fear.
By 3 a.iti. the hoard of feline suitors down below had reached epic
numbers, calling out in multiphonic cacophony.
My toes began to freeze solid from the cool night air and a lack of
movement. The reptilian brain had a remedy for the situation.
"Kill the cat," it said. "Beat it over the head with your coffee mug
and make fur booties out of it."
When 4 a.m. arrived several of the suitors felt it advantageous to
creep up the stairs toward awaiting romance. I threw the coffee mug at
them hoping to scare the hoard away. The ploy worked for about 30
minutes.
At 4:30 a.m. I knew I was beaten. My feet had frozen solid. The
numbing coldness filled my entire body. I felt I would die if I did not
move. Suddenly the prospect of a score of pouncing kittens seemed
acceptable.
I clambered to my feet and shuffled down the stairs. The cat sprang
with lightening speed past me into the yard. I walked about ten feet
from the bottom of the stairs when my front door opened.
The next day I unhesitatingly brought the cat in to be spayed.
The veterinarian gave me a brief lecture on waiting so long to get the
animal fixed. Hundreds upon thousands of unwanted animals are born
each year to domestic animals that have not been fixed, he said.
I knew that all too well*. The night before they were all in my yard.

In October, the A.S. announced that a recycling
program would begin in a matter of weeks. ' The plan is
to make the system user-friendly," said chair of the
Recycling Committee Steffanie Taylor.
The A.S., due to limited space, had trouble deciding
What type of containers to use for recycling. Cardboard
boxes are unsightly while plastic receptacles are stolen
too frequently.
But after six months with still no recycling program,
who really cares what type of bins are used. All that
matters is that they are in place.
Whether a recycling bin is constructed of paper or
plastic does not affect its user-friendliness. Californians
are now almost habitual recyclers when it is convenient.
Recent statistics indicate that Californians recycle 70
percent of their aluminum and glass receptacles.
One major retailer in Escondidofillstwo boxes each
day with cans used by its employees. It doesn't need
fancy plastic or aesthetically appealing receptacles to
encourage recycling. It simply asks its employees to
take the boxes to a local recycling center.
The employees gladly take the cans to the center and
pocket the money received from them.
With the growing numbers of clubs and organizations on campus, such a tactic is a viable one.
Each week a different organization can shoulder the
responsibility of bringing recyclables to a recycling
center. The organization that does so will then have a
sizable amount of change to use for its cause.
In California, one soda pop can or bottle yields two
cents. If each student and staff member were to toss one
soda can in a bin each day, the yield for the recycler
would amount to $24. One week of recycling would
yield almost $100.
Most students at CSUSM are eager to participate in
a recycling program if one exists. The users are already
friendly if given the chance. If a viable recycling program does not commence, then CSUSM will appear to
be encouraging community apathy.
Students should urge members of the A.S. Council to
place recycling bins of any kind in convenient locations
in each building of campus
If the bins happen to be an eyesore, just remember
how unsightly a stuffed landfill can be.

Cetaceans (meaning whales,
pronounced see-tay-shuns).
They range in size from the

160 pounds, to the Blue Whales,

Although whales live in the
water, they are very different
from fish. Generally, whales are
larger, have horizontal tails that
move up and down when they
swim, and are mammals. At one
time their ancestors probably
lived on land, and some 65
million years ago, began to
return to the water.

Stole The Show
With only eight issues published, Cal State San Marcos' student newspaper entered competition for the first time. The new publication
surprised its own staff and other papers as it took seven top awards in the California Intercollegiate Press Association's
annual convention; Pioneer is now ranked as one of the top three weekly college publications.
This Year,
We're Running It
On April 9 ,10,11 and 12, Pioneer will welcome almost 500 college students to the 43rd California Intercollegiate Press Association's annual
convention - here in San Marcos. This is one event that everyone is going to be involved in, from Cal State San Marcos students
and staff to community businesses. But we can always use more help.
Student volunteers are needed to assist with the convention itself. The four day event will include 13 competitions and over
12 workshops and lectures. There will be over 300 trophies and certificates awarded. And we need almost 100 volunteers!
As you can see, there's a lot of numbers in this writers conference. But they all add up to the best conference in the history
of California journalism... and the best exposure of this new university to other studentsfromacross the state.

Festival animates imagination
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
The Festival of Animation started in its traditional
way: the audience tossed around a gigantic beach ball
while the last remaining seats of the sold-out theater
were filled. The rest of the show, although living up to
the reputation of presenting great animated shorts,
break the molds of precedent with the totally unexpected.
Through the end of April, the San Diego Museum of
Contemporary Art in La Jolla presents Spike and
Mike's Festival of Animation. The 16 shows tell stories
through clay, computers or the standard pen and pencil
that could not have been told as well through conventional filmmaking.
The one feature to the show that could be predicted,
beside the ball tossing, was short commercials from

Roma's Pizzeria serves great food
with friendly family environment
Have you evo* visited a restaurant
where you feel like you are entering a
family reunion and you're the special
guest? R oma's Pizzeria and Deli at
825 Williamston, in Vista, perfectly
creates such an atmosphere.
Owned by Rose and Jim Riley for
almost 12 years, Roma's has become
a landmark, a "town gathering area,"
in Vista. Everyone who is anyone in
North County comes to Roma's and
"everyone knows everyone."
Some regular patrons have even
placed their own nameplates firmly
within their favorite booths because
they frequent the restaurant so often.
Other regulars, as soon as they enter
the pizzeria, obtain immediate service because the restaurant personnel
knows exactly what they will order.
One customer orders spaghetti so
often, that he has been affectionately
nicknamed "the spaghetti man."
Cindy Chovitz, the daughter of the
owners, works as the waitress and
general conversationalist in the restaurant. She puts in about 30 hours at
R oma's each week because she loves
being there.
Chovitz is also a student in Cal

DUFFY
State San Marcos' credential program.
One of Roma's regular customers is a
principal at alocal school, and Chovitz
didn't know it until she began talking
to him about the credential program.
For her, Roma's presents an opportunity to network in her future j ob
market.
Chovitz says that Roma's "is like
Cheers" because people feel comfortable at the pizzeria; they "hop from
table to table to talk to each other."
People from all walks of life visit
Roma's because, for them, the restaurant is like one big happy family.
The food is superb enough to entice the customers back again and
again to the restaurant.
The menu ranges from spaghetti,
to lasagne, to ravioli, to tortellini.
Customers can order either a dinner
(complete with soup or salad and garlic bread) or ala carte (also with garlic
bread).
Meals range from $5 to $9, while
ala carte prices range from $4 to $8.
The pizzas can be ordered with a
multitude of toppings in sizes small
($5.60 to $9.25), medium ($6.6- to
$11.50), and large ($8.60 to $13).
There is a children's menu, daily
specials and hot or cold deli sandwiches.
The spaghetti and meatballs, a
personal favorite, is cooked to perfection and is amply ladled with delectable sauce and hearty meatballs.
At $4.75, it is a belly-busting meal
deal.
For the same ¡»ice, ravioli can b e
substituted for meatballs. The tiny
meat-stuffed pockets ofpastaperfectly
compliment the spaghetti.
The pizza combinations are remarkably savory. The thin-crusted
favorite is ladled with tangy sauce,
piled with palatable ingredients, and
smothered with an abundance of
cheese. R oma's has found its own
little corner of pizza heaven.
Overall, the atmosphere at R oma's
will pull you in, but the food will keep
you coming back for more.

�Cabrillo lights
San Diego's
splendid past
When the Pioneer staff decided to
do an article on whale watching, it
reminded me of last winter when I
watched a whale from Cabrillo Point.
Icouldn'tactually seea whale j ust
a blow spout of water now and then,
but I knew its exact location from the
ring of boats that encircled the whale
like a giant target.
Even though I am a native of
California, that was the first time I
had ever driven out to the Point Loma
Peninsula. On one hand, it is nice to
have discovered something so beautiful in an area where I have lived for
over 40 years, but on the other hand it
seems sad that I deprived myself of
this experience for so long.
The Santa Ana conditions we have
experienced this week not only provided a great excuse for a return visit
they were absolutely perfect for enjoying the panoramic views. I particularly like the view from the Visitor Center and the Cabrillo Monument
Perched on top of a ridge, both areas
look over the harbor using downtown
San Diego as a backdrop. One can
normally see navy ships, bulging cargo
barges, jets landing at Lindberg field,
and delicate sailing ships zig-zagging
through the bay.
Besides the views the Visitor
Center has films, historical and environmental displays and a superb
bookstore. lean spendhours browsing
through their collection of books,
encompassing subjects dealing with
the history, animals, fish, flora and
scenery of San Diego and California.

On the subject of negative, this
year's tribute to computer animation
is depressing. Although the four films
were created beautifully, the stories
are bland, boring and lack viewer
appeal. 'Garbage' saves the group

'La Pista' can also be trashed. This

and is also interested in leadership and community service. As written, the University Honors Program will be kept separatefromthe Latin
Honors Program, which is grade-point-average
dependent
The program has been designed to cover two
separate segments of the student population: the
first segment of students are those that want to
enter a total Honors Program which involves
Honors Courses and leadership responsibilities,
and the other group of students are those that
only want to take one or two selected Honors
Courses.
Some of the proposed regulations covering
admission to Honors Classes and Honors Program are:
• Students may self-select to participate in
Honors Courses at any time in their stay at
CSUSM.
• Students may declare themselves members of the University Honors Program upon
completion of two Honors Courses with a grade
of B or better.
• Certain courses will be declared as Honor
Courses and a designation will appear in the
class schedule.
• Honors Classes are taught using regular
curriculum. Students that contract with the
teacher for Honors designation will be required
to do extra work outside of the classroom.
• Students who experience undo stress from
the extra work can withdraw from the Honors
Program without jeopardizing their grade in the
Psychology honor society forming
Organization is under way to create a
national honor society in psychology at Cal
State San Marcos.
Charter members are being sought for Phi
Chi. If formed the organization would be the
first honor society on campus.
According to organizer Pafira Catledge,
the national organization was formedin 1929
"with the purpose of encouraging, stimulating and maintaining excellence in scholarship
and advancement of the science of psychology"
An established Phi Chi chapter draws
membersfrominvitation only and members
are voted into the society by two-thirds of the
chapter.
For CSUSM, however, charter members
only need to meet certain requirements.
"Right now, students can get in with the
regular class.
• To graduate with University Honors a
student must accumulate 12 units in Honors
Courses and have attained recognition as a
leader and a community volunteer.
A complete transcript of the HonorsProposal
can be found in the Associated Students Office,
Student Lounge bulletin board, the Senate Office and in the Library.
For anyone interested in shaping the future
of CSUSM's Honors Program, more forums
will be held this week. Students are encouraged
to attend all of the following forums. Input from
their ideas will be used to frame the final proposal:
• Tuesday, March 17: a forum for students
will be in Room 112, Building 800 from 1 to 2

right grade point average," Catledge said.
"After that it will be by a vote by the chapter."
Requirements include:
• upper 35 percent of class - 3.16 grade
point average for juniors and 3.17 GPA for
seniors, and
p-^^^X
• overall B average in psychologic
courses.
The group is open to men and women in
all classes.
Two organizational meetings are schedule
for March 24 in Room 9, Building 145 and
March 26 in Room 97, Building 800. Each
meeting isfromnoon to 12:30 p.m. Applications and more information will be distributed
at that time.
Deadline for application is March 30.
For more information, call Catledge at
270-9782.
• Wednesday, March 18: a forum for faculty, staff, and administration will be in Room
10, Building 145 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
• Friday, March 20: An open forum is
scheduled in Room 129, Building 800from10
to 11 a.m.
The current recommendation leaves theacceptance of a student into a Honors Course up to
the discretion of the Honors Director and the
professor.
Discussed at thefirstforum was the ability of
the University to support classes designed for
honors students rather than having the honors
work as an addition to a regular class.
Talk centered around the necessity of leadership and community service and whether these
requirements have an underlying gender and
racial bias.

Forthcoming class ring
reflects global goals
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Students graduating from Cal State
San Marcos will have something to
take with them apart from a diploma.
Since last semester, a committee
comprised of students, faculty and
administration has chosen a design
for a CSUSM class ring.
Jostens, the ring manufacturer selected by the committee to produce
the final product, is expected to complete a final design for the ring this
week. Currently , Jostens is testing the
final design selected by the committee to see whether it works on the
ring's small scale.
"The (design selection process)
went through several iterations," said
Marti Gray, director of Auxiliary
Services and chair of the committee.
"Its been a process of creativity and
compromise."
Gray said that some of the
committee's original designs had to
be discarded because they couldn't be
seen on the small scale of a class ring.
Other „elements preferred by the
committee were too expensive or too
complex to fit in with student budgets.
The resulting design was the culmination of seven or eight meetings,
said Gray, and conveys a sense of
uniqueness while maintaining traditional elements. The committee chose
an intermediate-sized ring to emphasize detail without being too bulky.
Topping the ring will be a blue
stone with the etched figure of a
mountain lion underneath. The engraved lion's head, carved out of silver, will be seen through the stone. It
will be rectangular in shape with each
of the corners cropped off. Surrounding the stone will be the inscription "California State University
San Marcos."
The side panels of the ring were
designed to r eflect C SUSM's
uniqueness while concurrently expressing the university's mission
statement of global awareness.
Craven Hall will dominate one side
of the panel, while the image of a
lion's paw will rest underneath. Two
hands, each holding globes will be
placed at the top of the panel. An
engraved bridge separates the two.
Gray compiled a list of reactions
from panel members about the design
of the ring.
"Craven Hall pays tribute to the
man behind the dream of a university
innorthSanDiegoCounty,"thememo
cited. "This panel symbolizes the
physical presence of learning which
embraces exploration and integrated
understanding."
The ring's other side panel will
add personalized touches to the final
product. Students enrolled at CSUSM
in its first year will have, the opportunity to have a customized panel on the
ring. The panel will state in bold letters "Founding Class 1990-1991"
above the image of a globe, a book
and scales symbolizing equality. Rays
will be etched emanating from the
globe. Below the figures will be the
lion's paw and an inscription indicating which degree was earned.
Founding faculty and administration will have the opportunity to
purchase the same design but with the

Child care program with local club
continues despite small turnout
JONATHAN YOUWG/PIONEER
With about a third of the needed
children, the Boys and Girls Club of
San Marcos will continue to offer a
child care service the campus community of Cal State San Marcos.
Theprogram, started this semester,
provides child care service several
nights a week in addition to the clubs
daily hours. Located at the Woodland
Park branch, grade-school children
can attend the club from 2 p.m. to 8
p.m. Monday through Friday. Children can also use the club during
regular hours, Monday through Friday.
To stay open on the four nights, 15
children were need to support the
program. Only five are utilizing the
service.
But campus and club officials are
not being discouraged and say that the
program will grow in the next semester.
Tanis Brown, an organizer of the
program, said the news of the new
program got to the students too late;
needed child care services had already been arranged by students.
Brown, along with the Women's
Information Network, is preparing to
send out flyers to women returning
next semester to inform them of the
program and to get some feed back on
the program.
Sue Aldana, of the San Marcos
Boys and Girls Club, and Brown have
received comments that the program
is not open late enough for student
attending night classes at CSUSM.
Those classes last until 10 p.m.; the
program is only open until 8 p.m.
"As a university, we did not want
toadvocate kids being outat 10p.m.,"
Brown said. Aldanasaidtheclub could
re-evaluate the time schedule based
on student feed back.
Even though the specifications of
the program may change, Brown said
the child care program will continue
at operate.
' That's a really positive element
on campus," Brown said. "A lot of
other universities are offering the
opportunity of having a child care
program.
"As a new university with a large
number of re-entry women, we wan
to keep up with those opportunities
for women to come back to school
and have their kids on site or close
by."
To use the Boys and Girls Club's
service, the children must become
members of the club. To use any
service the club offers, children have
to be members and this $15 yearly fee
releases the university of liability .
The evening service costs S5 a
night; children may use the club during
the day at no additional cost.

inscription "Founding Year 19891990" substituted for the founding
class's legend. Rings for students not
enrolled in the first year of classes
will have the year of their graduation
inscribed.
Originally, the committee sought
a separate design for the commemorative ring, but due to the low student
population in the first year, such a
design would be expensive.
Although the ring's final cost has
n ot y et been d etermined, Eric
Pukowski, Jostens' s representative to
CSUSM, said the price will be competitive with noncustomized rings
found at other universities.
Pukowski estimated that prices for
men's rings will range from about

IN NEXT ISSUE
$370, for 10 karat gold, to approximately $700, for 18 karat gold.
Women's rings should range from
about$340,for lOkaratgold, to around
$600.
Generally, class rings are purchased by the December previous to
graduation. Because theringis still in
the design process, students graduating this spring will be able to acquire
the product just before commencement
"It will be close," said Gray.
Many universities hold separate
ring ceremonies at commencement
time, where the product is presented
to the student by the campus's president. Gray said, because the university is holding its first graduation
ceremony, aring ceremony might take
away from the emphasis on commencement
The Class Ring Committee is
comprised of students BarbaraPender,
Tom Weir, Steffanie Taylor and Jose
Chapman. Vice President of Student
Affairs, Ernest Zomalt and Director
ofBusiness Services, PatFarris joined
Gray on the committee for an administrative voice, while Stephen
Welch, professor of Chemistry, represented the faculty.
G ray's memo sums up the
committee's response to the overall
design. "The original yet, traditional
design is a culmination of efforts and
creativity to student representatives,
staff and faculty."

Part one in a two-part series concerning
treatment, misinformation of genital warts
If you read this column frequently,
you might be wondering why I am
writing about another sexually transmitted disease. Recently, I have
written about other current health
concerns, however, the subject of this
column, Human Papillamavira Virus
(HPV) infection, has become a very
common and an important health
problem in thecollege-agepopulation.
This will be the first of a two-part
column, because HPV infection is
complex and misinformation is common.
HPV is the virus that causes warts.
There are more than 60 types of the
virus, with approximately a dozen
types that can cause warts or subtle
signs of infection in the genital tract.
Since genital HPV is not a reportable
disease, we do not have exact numbers
on how much of the population is
infected. It is estimated that between
500,000 to 1 million new cases of
genital HPV occur each year. It clearly
is the fastestrisingviral STD.
Genital HPVs has been discovered
to be more contagious than previously
thought It is usually spread through
sexual contact with an infected
person,although intercourse is not
necessary to spread the infection. In
HEALTHNOTES
BY D R . J O E L
GRINOLDS
studies, two thirds of those with genital warts infected their partners. It is
very likely that genital HPV infection
also can be transmitted when warts
are not present
When viral infection is transmitted from person to person, the virus
infects the top layers of the skin and
can remain inactive or dormant for a
long time. We are frequently asked
for how long. No one knows for sure
but at least months and maybe years
can go by before signs of infection or
warts appear. For most people warts
will appear within three to six months.
Some types of HPV will more often result in visible warts than others.
Types 6 ad 11 will almost always
result in visible warts. Other types
that may infect the cervix of women
may not produce warts that are clearly
seen.
Currently, there is no easy test that
is reliable, cost effective, and helpful
in treatment that identifies the HPV
type. HPV cannot be grown in the
laboratory and cannot be detected by
a blood test
We also know that when warts or
other signs of HPV occur, a healthy
immune system may clear up the warts
by itself over a period of months or
years, however, the HPV may still
remain and recurrences of warts are
fairly common.
When HPV is present in the genital area without visible genital warts,
oneis considered to havea"subclinical
infection." It is becoming clear that
subclinical infection is much more
widespread than anyone would have
thought 10 years ago. Also, as research
techniques become more sensitive in
detection ¿)f HPV,we are finding a
greater prevalence in patients with
subclinical infection. Of interest is
that many researchers believe that
medical science is now identifying,
for thefirsttime, an infectious agent
that likely has been widespread in the
the population for decades.
What does it all mean? I will address that in a column soon.

It has appeared in print and has been spoken often:
Get Involved! It seems that either the majority of theCal
State San Marcos students are ignorant and cannot
comprehend these two words, or that students here are
just not interested in their school.
President Bill Stacy sent a letter to the prospective
first class asking for pioneering students, ones that
would set standards and traditions. The first few classes
have to be innovative and active in setting the ground
work for future generations of students. I t's a shame that

A THOUGHT:
"To all who come
to this happy place:
Welcome. "
W ALT D ISNEY, 1 9 5 5
I am writing in response to the article on
recycling written in the last issue of the Pioneer
("Recycling program needs participation"). The
article was concerned not with the general importance of the recycling issue but with the
importance of recycling on this campus.
The article stated that CSUSM was without
a recycling program. I am writing to inform the
Pioneer and the students that the school does
haveaprogram.TheAssociatedStudentCouncil
has had a Recycling Committee since last semester, and the recycling program has existed
since last November. The Committee consists
of five students.
Since established, the program has recycled
over 60 pounds of aluminum, 100 pounds of
glass, 339 pounds of white paper,472pounds of
computer paper and over 2000 pounds of
newsprint (including thePioneer), and in addition
hundreds of pounds of mixed paper and some
plastics.
The campus staff and faculty have been an
important part of getting recycling going, and
the Recycling Committee has been important in
keeping it going. The program has been mostly
concerned with recycling paper goods and
maintaining previously established recycling
stations around campus. Currently, the Committee is working with the University on expanding and upgrading the system. The future
of recycling is expansion, and preparation for
the new campus.
As individuals we can all help by using the
appropriate bins on campus. As the Recycling
Committee, we will do our best to expand the
program to meet the needs of students, faculty,
and staff. The Committee is in need of help to
accommodate the expanding program; interested
individuals should contact the A.S. Office.
Also, anyone wishing to donate recyclables
to the Associated Students can do so by simply
dropping off their donations at Liberty Recycle
in San Marcos.
Currently the Library has a container for
aluminum cans. The computer labs have paper
bins. The A.S.Officehasbinsforall recyclables.
Building 125 has a central recycling area for
everything, and bins for paper in the copying
area. Financial Aid has an aluminum cans bin,
there are bins for paper, cans and bottles in the
copy room Building 135. Building 820 has a
place for cans and newspaper.

sity at the graduating ceremony on May 23, as
our gift to all continuing and future students of
CSUSM.
With approximately 100 students graduating
in thisfirstclass, our goal would be to create at
least $500 which would provide initial seed
money for the Student Union Fund. This gift
may be small in view of the overall cost of the
project, but it will represent much more than a
financial token. In a time when education is
shadowedby serious economic cutbacks coupled
by a large increase in tuition, we are pledging
our support to all future students of CSUSM. A
campus Student Union Building is as important
to the student community as the classrooms.
Five dollars does not buy much these days:
five cups of coffee at the student store, lunch at
the Full Belly Deli, half a T-shirt. How many
times do we blow that amount on "nothing?"
How much do we spend on an average birthday
present? In contrast, a$5 donation to the CSUSM
Student Union Fund is a gift that will continue
to give long after our class has graduated.
Unlike a scholarship fund which benefits
only a select group of students, a Student Union
Building is for the benefit of all students.
Let's not lose the chance to do something
really fine as the first graduating class. If you
support my suggestion, and want to help make
this idea a reality, please contact me through the
A.S. Office, Building 135.

One galactic theory
Astronomer Dr. Hugh Ross told of his unidentified flying object
research results on a recent Reasons to Believe program on Trinity
Broadcasting Network:
• About 98 percent of UFO sightings can be explained by natural
phenomena.
• The other 2 percent are real, but not physical; they don't obey the
laws of physics.
• The sightings are typically inconsistent from one to the next, as
though the UFOs are trying to make it hard for us to figure out what they
are.
• The people who have had close encounters of the third kind
(kidnapped by extraterrestrials) demonstrate the same psychological
trauma as people who have had encounters with the occult. These people
also have had previous experience with occult phenomena before their
UFO encounters.
Ross' conclusions are that UFOs are demon activity and the purpose
is to deceive people. Satan may try to explain as kidnapping by UFOs the
coming disappearance of million of Christians when Jesus Christ returns
and beams up his church.
Extraterrestrial Etiquette
In 1990, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project directors
put together "Declaration of Principles Concerning Activities Following Detection of Extraterrestrial Intelligence." The NASA organization
put together this set of nine guidelines for those who encounter alien life
forms.
Here is a brief highlight:
*• Don* t call the press until you have informed other researchers and
you're sure the signal is from extraterrestrial beings and is not manmade.
• Call the secretary general of the United States.
• Once you're certain, don't keep the news a secret.
• Don't talk back until serious international discussion are held on
what we (the government) want to say.
None of the nine rules mentions acceptable etiquette when meeting
an alien face to face.

Last Year, Pioneer
Stole The Show
With only eight issues published, Cal State San Marcos' student newspaper entered competition for the first time. The new publication
surprised its own staff and other papers as it took seven top awards in the California Intercollegiate Press Association's
annual convention; Pioneer is now ranked as one of the top three weekly college publications.
This Year,
We're Running It
On April 9 ,10,11 and 12, Pioneer will welcome almost 500 college students to the 43rd California Intercollegiate Press Association's annual
convention - here in San Marcos. This is one event that everyone is going to be involved in, from Cal State San Marcos students
and staff to community businesses. But we can always use more help.
Student volunteers are needed to assist with the convention itself. The four day event will include 13 competitions and over
12 workshops and lectures. There will be over 300 trophies and certificates awarded. And we need almost 100 volunteers!
As you can see, there's a lot of numbers in this writers conference. But they all add up to the best conference in the history
of California journalism... and the best exposure of this new university to other studentsfromacross the state.

One night, Herman decided to
check out his new Mends. With
binoculars in hand, he perched
himself on a nearby railroad track to
watch the zipping light show. As
the object made a sudden drop, as if
it had fallen, Herman fumbled to
catch a glimpse through his binoculars.
"He was trying to focus his
binoculars to see what had happened to it, when it swooped in and
filled the sky in front of himcompletelyfilledthe sky in seconds," Stevens said.
Caught by surprise, Herman
started to fall back off the tracks. As
he tried to catch himself, the ship
started to draw away from him. "It
was going away and he was in the
air, he was in a beam of blue light
going up into the craft
"He was kicking and yelling and
trying to get out of it and it sucked
him up anyway," Stevens said. "He
saw the reeds along the side of the
tracks blowing away from him at
the time this was happening. He lost
consciousness until he woke up on
an examination table aboard the
alien ship."
The object seems to be getting

it. Oh my...
Stevens calls Herman's friends
the Reticulum and classifies them in
the greys family, a classification
consisting of grey-colored aliens.
Research in both the United States
and Canada have shown that a third
of all extraterrestrial encounters are
from this type of alien.
The Reticulum are short, ranging
from 4-feet to 4-feet 3-inches. They
have large heads and large, dark
eyes. Other encounter reports tell of
similar grey creatures.
"The tragedy is that we are
painting them all with the same
brush," Stevens said. "Some of the
greys are benevolent, some are
malevolent and there are shades of
grey in between. It so happens that
the Reticulums are among the most
benevolent of the extraterrestrial
entities visiting this planet."
Herman has been exact with his
description and said the creatures
wear a silk-like blue uniform with a
flying serpent on the left breast.
They are kind, gentle creatures and
meticulous with their work.
Herman even knows which solar
system the Reticulum call home.
"There is only one case in the
history of this whole extraterrestrial
phenomena, that I know of, where
the E X entity specifically said they
came from what we call Reticulum,
and that is the Charleston case of
Bill Herman in South Carolina,"
Stevens said.
The creatures told Herman where
they werefromat least four times,
in several different ways and in
great detail giving their planet's
mass, orbital characteristics and
inclination of the axis. Compared to
other astronomical information and
research, Stevens said their directions were "absolutely correct."
Reticulum is a twin-star system
seen to the low south in the sky.
Because of it's location, it is not
visible at all times of the year in this
part of the Earth.
Stevens said the two stars are

One aspect of the ship that
interested Herman the most was
how it traveled. He would sit and
chart the zipping motions of the
craft and determined that its
navigation was based on a triangular pattern.
"The second time he was aboard

Magnolias' steals women's passions
DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
There is little comparison between
a movie and a well-performed play.
Take for instance the production of
"Steel Magnolias," as performed by
the Lamb Theatre in San Diego. Here
is a performance that far outshines the
fine movie of the same name.
"Steel Magnolias" is almost exclusively a women's production. All
of the scenes aie set in a 1950s-style
beauty shop, which is mostly
"women's territory." Four women,
all of different ages make up the cast.
Even though men are spoken of, they
never appear on stage. Women's
passions and emotions resonate
through the beauty shop. Moreover,
the characters bond together. Each
woman needs the others for different
reasons, but all utilize each other because their ability to grow and change
only becomes reality when the other
women support them. The production
is even directed by a woman.
Every actor truly conveys that they
are the well-scripted characters they
perform. The two most impressive of
the lot are Annelle, played by Cynthia
Peters, and Ouiser, played by Darlene
Trent
Annelle, when she first appears on
the stage, seemsfrightened,nervous,
unsure of herself. Every time someone
asks her a question, her face becomes
as a contorted prune, displaying every
emotion Annelle feels. Throughout
the play, however, Annelle grows
more confident, more sure of herself.
In thefirstscene, Annelle Haphazardly styles T ruvy's (Veronica

Murphy Smith) hair, hesitant of every
move she makes. In the final scene,
Annelle, married and pregnant, Confidently arranges Clairee's (Patricia
DiMeo) hair. Being a part of the
women of the beauty shop gives
Annelle the confidence to grow and
be herself.
Ouisar, cynical, sarcastic, extremely loud, arrives in thefirstscene
yelling and screaming about her
neighbor and his abuse of her dog.
She invites laughter with her attitude
and brings a lightness to a sometimes
heavy mood.
However, Ouisar also changes
drastically during the course of the
play. As the production progresses,
her behavior and attitude softens, becoming more gentle. By the final
scene, Ouisar, instead of storming
into the room, sits in a chair waiting
for her hair dresser. She wears stylish
clothing instead of blue jeans. Ouisar
no longer needs to be boisterous and
obnoxious to be accepted in the group;
she can confidently be a quieter, more
calm woman without the fear of rejection.
Even though Annelle and Ouisar
change the most, every character
within theplay changes; none remains
stagnant. Clairee begins to live her
own life after her husband dies,
M'Lynn (Gail West) gives a part of
herself to her daughter Shelby (Mhari
Frothingham Sandoval), and Shelby
learns what it takes to give of herself
for her child.
In thefinalscene, everyone in the
audience, including the men, responds
to the characters' feelings. The audience easily identifies with their
emotions, crying and laughing along
with them.
The personal interaction between
the actors and the audience makes
"Steel Magnolias" a play worth seeing.
"Steel Magnolias" is playing at the
Lamb's Theatre until March 28. Tickets range from $15 to $19. Lamb's
Theatre is located at 500 Plaza Blvd.
in National City.

Being the pragmatist that I am, I
don't really buy into the notion that
aliensfromother planets actually exist I tend to keep my attention on

Hollywood is pretty much bipolar
in its treatment of aliens from outer
space.
On the one side are filmmakers
who believe that aliens should be
snarling, spewing creatures with more
make-up than Tammy Faye Baker
and a disposition slightly worse than
Don Rickles. These galactic heavies
all seem to have an insatiable taste for
foreign food (namely human flesh),
and are generally hard to kill.
Traditional cinema oftentimes
correlated extra-terrestrials with
names like "it," "thing" or"that "oozy
ball of slime that reeks havoc upon
mankind." In virtually all cases, bad
aliens pose a threat to the whole of
earthly civilization. It's either us or j
them.
On the other hand, good aliens
seem to be humanity's only hope.
Their cosmic experiences correlate
with the notion of wisdom and beauty.
Traditionally they have been overlooked by Hollywood, which opted
for snarling menaces over blubbering
do-gooders. Not until the Reagan
administration did the film industry
feel inclined to create creatures that
could actually save usfromsocial and
moral despair.
Good aliens are harder to recognize .
than bad ones. Many times they take
on human form, looking better than
most GQ Magazine models. These
beings are generally fragile and can
die from little more than a hard look.

celluloid aliens, listed by the movies

Tilt 'n Kilt gives taste of Britain
to North County area pubgoers
With Saint Patrick's Day celebrations occurring throughout the county
today, I went in search of some special place to acquaint myself with the
flair of the British Isles.
Tilt ' n Kilt, located at 1660
Capalina in San Marcos is just the
place to kiss the blarney stone, sip
some heady ales or fling a few darts
for your Saint Patty's Day celebration.
No pub would be complete without a bountiful offering of munchies
and fine beers, and Tilt 'n Kilt delivers both.
I tried the Celtic Nachos at $2.25.
Unlike the western American fare,
this taste treat uses British chips as a
base instead of tortilla chips. In the
British Islands, chips are the actual
equivalent of our French fries.
Tilt 'n Kilt serves these hot, yet
slightly greasy, morsels with a wonderfully tangy cheese sauce and
chopped scallions. The appetizer is a
delicious blend of European charm
and American Southwestern z fnf:
Another British favorite is the
banger. This strange-sounding
BY L A R R Y
BOISJOLIE
anomaly is a large, slightly spicy sausage that simply must be tried. I ordered a Beer Battered Banger, a sausage dipped in a light Guinness Beer
Batter and served with steak fries or
Potatoes O'Brien and cole slaw.
The batter formed a crusty shell
around the sausage, similar to that
found on fish and chips. At $4.25, the
combination topped my list of taste
sensations.
The beer selection represents the
best of the British Isles. For those
looking for a suitable brew for Saint
Patrick's Day, Tilt 'n Kilt offers
Guinness Stouton tap. WhenGuinness
is bottled, it loses some of its full, rich
flavor. When served on tap, the dark
ale's full malty taste shines through.
I had a Black and Tan, a portion of
Watneys ale topped with a layer of
Guinness Stout. Strangely, the two
liquids do not mix, rather the dark Larry Boisjolie is Editor-irvChief for Pioneer.

Guinness floats atop the Watneys.
The result is a clear, distinct blending
of the two flavorful beers.
Tilt 'n Kilt also offers a wide variety of entertainment. On Fridays and
Saturdays, pubsters can rock with,
nostalgic rock and blues with Ransom
Note and The Riptones. Sundays offer patrons the opportunity to sit in on
a jam session with Loose Change.
On every third Saturday of the
month, the pub offers traditional
music. Although none will be played
in March, April promises a performance with bagpipes.
Dart flingers can also show their
throwing prowess on Mondays,
Thursdays and Saturdays in tournaments held at the pub.
The pub at Tilt 'n Kilt is open daily
from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. andfrom3 p.m.
to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Tilt 'n Kilt also has a restaurant that is

monsters with acid for blood, two sets
of retractable teeth, and nasty dispositions. These foul creatures are smart,
take on several hideous forms at differing stages of their development
and have a particular dislike for
Sigourney Weaver.
"THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET": This silent, benign creation from director John
Sayles heals broken video machines
with a touch ofhis hands. As a stranded
alien who has the body of a black
man, the brother tries to conform to
social rules and ideologies. What he
does, is create a powerful social
statement on racial alienation. The
brother is a comedic good guy trapped
in an ultra-serious environment.
"COCOON": Anotherexampleof
the sickeningly sweetprotagonist from
outer space. These lovely creatures,
which masquerade as humans, have
the cure for the bane of all mankind,
old-age. They offer eternal youth and
are treated with infernal disregard by
himans. Even so, they are the kinds of
sweet, likable aliens that Hollywood
shunned for so many, years, but audiences go ga-gaover. Don't waste your
time with the sequel though. "Cocoon
D: The Return" simply tries to milk
audience response from the first film
with dismal results.
"CRITTERS": Once again we have
little monsters with no redeeming
social value, but great hunger. The
protagonists in this film look like
Brillo pads with teeth. They roam the
countryside in search of food (anything from automobiles to human
flesh), and multiply faster than hamsters in an orgy. The movie satirizes
Hollywood alien flicks with every
opportunity with comedic results.
"E.T.—THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL": Unless you've been hiding
on Mars for the last decade, E.T. has
become a familiar sight in American
culture. This cuddly creature finds
itself stranded on Earth with no way
home. It is a fragile, magical being
which brings out the child in all who
watch it—and watch it they did. E.T.
remains in orbit as the most popular
film (money wise) of all time'.
"MY STEPMOTHER IS AN
ALIEN": I wish Kim Basinger, who
plays the title role, didn't live on this
planet. She is too perfect for womankind. She is also perfect for the role
of the benign alien that learned all
about earthly culture from satellite
transmissions of television sitcoms.
"PREDATOR": Arnold Schwarzenegger finally meets his match
(well almost) with a groady-looking
hunter from outer space that kills
humans for pleasure. Seen also in the
flawed but fun "Predator2," this alien
can blend like a chameleon with its
surroundings and carries aformidable
extra-terrestrial arsenal.
"STARMAN": Jeff Bridges was
cheated out of an Academy Award for
his performance as yet another alien
trapped on planet Earth. This particular
visitor from another planet is actually
a glowing sphere which clones the
body of a human to survive the harsh
world in which it is stranded. Starman
is a movie about love and magic, with
an alien that tries to blend with an
unkind world.
-THE THING": This John Carpenter 1982 Sci-Fi thriller is based
more on the circa 1930 novella "Who
Goes There?" by John W, Campbell
than the 1952 Howard Hawkes film.
In the movie a group of scientist in
Antarctica find a spaceship imbedded
in the ice. The inhabitant of the ship is
a vicious changeling that takes on the
form of any animal it wants. The
question throughout the movie is,
who's the alien and who i sn't "The
Thing" probably gives more scares
per square inch than any alien movie
on the list

Cuyamaca State Park
helps alleviate stress
Show me a pine tree by a meadow
and I am on a the way to a speedy
recovery from stress-related school
insanity. A couple of weeks ago,
several of us overworked students
along with our families went on a
picnic to Rancho Cuyamaca State
Park.
All of us complained that we really
did not have the time necessary to
take a Sunday Afternoon away from
our studies, but we did it anyway. It
was glorious. The crisp air and pine
smells awakened a feeling of reality
into our abused brains.
We had a potluck picnic and we all
over-ate. So we took a long nature
walk to make sure we would have
enough room to stop for a piece of
Julian apple pie a la mode on the way
home.
Rancho Cuyamaca State Park, located about 14 miles south of Julian
has campgrounds, picnic sites, museum, lake, even equestrian camping
facilities. The park is riddled with
Sullivan's T ravels
BY KATHY SULLIVAN
nature trails, from easy to extreme.
In case you have had your head in
the school books for too long and
haven't noticed—wildflowers cover
our foothills. The drive to the Julian
Mountains this weekend would not
only be an immersion in color from
the flowers and meadows but would
include a good chance of snow at the
higher elevations.
A trip to the mountains this
weekend presents a pleasurable way
to preserve sanity during mid-terms
next week. But, if your personality
will not allow you to relax enough to
enjoy some stolen moments before
finals, a picnic in the mountains also
acts as a recovery mechanism for an
over-taxed mental system.

overdrafts reflect Congress' growing
distance between its members and the

LARRY BOiSJOLIE/PIONEER
Although automobile burglaries
and thefts representee most common
property crimes committed on college
campuses, the problem has yet to
surface at Cal State San Marcos.
But, with vehicle thefts on the rise
in San Diego County and a permanent
campus site slated to open in fall, it is
probable thatCSUSM, like many other
college campuses, will become a
prime target for car thiefs in the future.
Dora Knoblock, of Student Auxiliary Services, said that CSUSM has
received no reports of vehicle thefts
or break-ins since instruction began
in fall 1990.
Because CSUSM holds its classes
at a temporary site, would-be thieves
might not realize that a campus exists.
The parking lot currently being used
is also heavily patrolled during hours
of instruction by Wells Fargo Security.
Although other campuses have staterun police forces, officers have more
ground to cover than those at CSUSM
and are rarely visible.
"College campuses are the ideal
picking ground for cars," said Boyd
Mahan, head of the Palomar College
Campus Patrol.
Mahan said that due to the higher
concentration of cars, thieves have
more chances of finding a vehicle that
is easy to break into without detection.
Car thieves also are assured that students will be awayfromtheir vehicles
for at least one hour. Both factors
make college communitiesripeareas
for car thefts.
Since Palomar College is located
in the same general area and now has
approximately the same number of
students as is expected at CSUSM in
the future, current car theft patterns at
the community college could give an
indication offiituretrends at the university.
According to Mahan, Palomar
College experiences six to seven car
thefts in one year. Other car break-ins
and thefts of stereos and accessories
are more frequent. He said Campus
Patrol receives at least one call a week
reporting a car
break-in.

PART THREE
IN A SERIES State school to
CSUSM, has a
much higher rate
of theft than does
Palomar College.
A recent article in The San Diego
Union rates SDSU as one of the prime
target areas for car thefts in San Diego
County. Fifteen vehicles a week are
stolen from the campus.
Throughout the CSU, SDSU has
the highest rate of vehicle thefts.
Lieutenant Tom Schulteis, from
SDSU's Public Safety Department,
said that the occurrences of car thefts
at SDSU reflect the size of the campus.
"We have a very high incidence of
property crimes at SDSU," Schulteis
said. "But if you look at the figures
closely, rates of theft are relatively
proportionate."
Not only the size, but the location
of the SDSU campus may be a contributing factor to its high vehicle
theft rate.
San Diego County has the highest
rate of vehicle theft in the state of
California, with an automobile stolen
every 15 minutes.
Local law enforcement officials
say that vehicles are stolen to transport
illegal aliens from Mexico. The high
incidence of drug abuse in the county
is another contributing factor.
"Many times, cars are stripped
down for their parts," said Michael
Franklin of the Escondido Police
Department. "Thesa parts can then be
easily pawned for a few quick bucks."
Franklin said that the recovery rate
for stolen vehicles in -San Diego
County runs about 60 percent In many
cases the recovered cars are stripped
down to theframe.He said that rates
of theft are so high that the police
department rarely investigates episodes once the vehicles are recovered.
"We would spend virtually all our
man-hours tracking down thiefs if we
followed up on every car that was
stolen," Franklin said.
Automobile thieves are selective
of the types of vehicles they take.
Eleven of the 15 most stolen cars are
Toyotas. The 1988 Hyundai Excel is
the mostfrequentlylifted vehicle.
Franklin said that Toyotas and
Hyundais are popular because they
are easy to break into and their parts
are easy to sell.
Trucks and vans are also popular
items for thieves. Franklin said that
stolen trucks and vans are frequently
used to smuggle illegal aliens across
the border.
Motor vehicle thefts throughout
the nation comprise the highest dollar
amounts of property crimes. In 1988,
it was estimated that $6,408,806,000
worth of automobiles were stolen
throughout the nation. A more recent
1991 survey indicates that vehicle
thefts have risen 12 percent since that
time.

March cannot slip by without me
writing something on nutrition since it
is National Nutrition Month. And what
else to write about but cholesterol, a
frequently dreaded subject by many.
The latest news is that a panel of
experts convened by the National Institutes of Health are recommending that
knowing your total cholesterol levels
alone is not enough. They also recommend you need to know the status of
your high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
cholesterol - the so-called good cholesterol.
HDL-cholesterol is considered to be
protective against heart disease since it
is believed to prevent or possibly reverse fatty deposits in the coronary
(heart) arteries as well as in other arteries.
In general, total cholesterol levels
below 200 milligrams per deciliter of
blood are considered to be normal.
However, 5 to 10 percent of people
have total cholesterol levels of less than
200 and are thought to be at lowriskbut
have unhealthy low levels of HDLcholesterol. Levels below 35 milligrams
per deciliter of blood are considered
highriskfor heart disease.
What determines your level of HDLcholesterol? The two major factors are
HEALTHNOTES
BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS, .M.D.
genetics and gender. Your family genetic background could be the root of a
low HDL-cholesterol level. Women
have higher levels than men mostly
related to hormones. After menopause,
the levels can be closer to men. It is
often said the higher the HDL level the
better and for every one (1) milligram
increase in HDL, there is a 2 percent to
3 percent decrease in heart disease risk.
Even though your HDL may be low
because of genetics and gender, there
still are methods to increase the HDL
level.
The most significant method to increase your HDL is by guess what?
Exercise! Funny thing how your body
works. This usually has to be aerobic
exercise, of course, but no one can tell
you specifically how much exercise will
raise the levels by so much etc.
Secondly, weight loss, if needed,
will increase the HDL and usually lower
the total cholesterol. Lastly, if you
smoke, stopping will increase your
HDL.
As you might expect, not everybody
agrees with these new recommendations. Some doctors think that if one is
at low risk for heart disease, a total
cholesterol is all that is needed. Certainly, if one has known risk factors
such as family history of heart disease,
hypertension, obesity, diabetes, tobacco
use and sedentary life-styles a full cholesterol evaluation is recommended.
At Student Health Services we always do a full cholesterol evaluation
because our laboratory will do the full
evaluation for a very low cost and we
feel the information is useful.
Another point is that no decision
about treatment or life-style should be
based on one measurement. Although
the total cholesterol and HDL don't
vary from day to day by much, there can
be lab errors. At least two measurements a week apart should be performed
to make appropriate decisions concerning treatment or life-style changes.

representatives. Over and over, those who previously held office regain their seats without having
to put up much of a fight
Recently, however, public attentions have been
diverted from the Presidential campaign to Congressional activities. With "Rubbergate" bounding
into thepublic spectrum, voters are suddenly aware
of the types of persons they continually elect to
manage public fimds.
By using the now-defunct House Bank, Congressional Representatives could write checks and
attain loans without having to pay interest or
charges for overdrawn notes. Given such freedom,
296of the440members and delegates in the House
of Representatives abused their privileges and
overdrew their accounts.
Once this bad check scandal hit the presses,
Representatives emerged in droves to admit their
overdrafts and to play on public sympathy for
forgiveness.
The March 23,1992 Newsweek lists Congressional rubbermeisters and their excuses f or
bouncing checks. Although, on the surface, some
of these rationales may seem valid, there exists
underlying currents of deception in their justifications.
House members, in an effort to gain public
sympathy, come up with alibis to which the common
person can seemingly relate. Buttheseexplanations
show j ust how s everely o ut of t ouch
Congresspersons are with their constituencies:
Robert Dornan (R)v California — Wrote one
overdraft for $100 to buy stones for a backyard
LARRY BOISJOLIE
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
shrine to the Virgin Mary.
Dornan might have cinched the die-hard
Catholic vote with this plea, but alienated all
other religious factions in the process. What
Dornan actually bought was $ 100 worth of stones
to be used at his political execution.
Duncan Hunter (R), California—Overdrew 407
times in three years, totalling $129,225. Hunter
said scholarship donations were the cause.
Maybe Hunter should take advantage of those
s cholarships and l earn how t o a dd. T he
Representative* s political statement indicates that
he takes a pro-education stance. The key to revitalizing education, however, lies in using real
money and not floating funds for its support.
Gerry Sikorski (D)y Minnesota — Admitted to
671 bad checks in just over three years totalling
$119,966.67. Sikorski blames his wife Susan for
mishandling the finances.
This common excuse among Congressional
representatives plays on the myth that women
have no control over their spending habits. Not
only should Sikorski and others like him lose all
votes from women (yes, Congressman, women
do have therightt o vote)» they should also lose all
votes from the legions of political correctnoids
who stress that wome%are just as shrewd at
business as men.
Curt Weldon (R), Pennsylvania — Had one
overdraft for $2.49.
How can we expect someone who c an't accommodate his checking account to cover a check
for a couple of dollars to balance the federal
budget? People who write $2 checks shouldn't b e
in public office anyway. They shouldn't even be
allowed in the grocery store.
Charles Wilson (D)v Texas — Penned 81 bad
checks, including a $6,500 note to the Internal
Revenue Service.
Wilson's bad check to the IRS reflects Congress* tactic of granting themselves pay increases.
The amount of Wilson's bad check to the IRS
would pay his salary for about one month. By
bouncingachecktothegovernment,Wilsonplaces
the entire burden of his own financial support on
the taxpayers. Besides, any otherperson who writes
such a large non-sufficient funds check to the IRS
would be guilty of tax evasion.
What "Rubbergate" illustrates more than anything, is the need to entirely retool the Congressional machine. For decades voters have paid little
attention to whom they wereelecting to control the
country's purse strings. In 1990, for instance, 96
percent of the incumbents who ran for reelection
regained their seats. Voters seemed to virtually
ignore candidates' platforms, opting instead for
familiar faces.
As a result of voter apathy, the U.S. now has a
stagnant Congress that cannot balance a budget,
wallows more in pork-barrel projects than the
public interest, and enjoys numerous perks.
L et's use "Rubbergate" as an opportunity to
bounce the ineffectual politicians out of office and
replace them with representatives which truly reflect the public interest
EDITORIAL
the process of funding the establishment of a Student Union.
As students of the future enjoy the
Student Union, they may not be able
to recognize a lot of the students that
built the complex. They will, however,
recognize the classes that didn't contribute. . .....
Imagine the conversations: ' The
first class of CSUSM was all right.
Some of them established an Associated Student Government, started a
yearbook* a newspaper and some interesting clubs. But the class as a
whole was too cheap to contribute
$20 a semester to build a Student
Union."
What else will happen if students
d on't contribute to the establishment
of a Student Union? Nothing much.
Students will save $20 that probably
will b e wasted sometime throughout
the semester.
The burden will go on to the next
class, thus prolonging the construction
of a Student Union. The planning has
already been delayed a year when
students voted against a Student Union
f ee in the 1991 elections. Don'tdelay
it any more.
In the upcoming elections, April
27 and 28, vote yes on Measure A.
The fee measure gives three price
options: $20, $ 15 and $ 10. If money is
the only factor f or a no vote, then
compromise: vote yes and check option C for a $10 Student Union fee.
If students do contribute, the $10
to $20 will b e well spent Then students
of this first class will have the option
of coming back to their Alma Mater
and enjoy what they have built and
tell their children and grandchildren
"This is the Student Union I helped
establish!"
Invest is the future of CSUSM:
Vote yes on Measure A.

A THOUGHT!
"You can't separate peace
from freedom because no one
can be at peace unless he
has his freedom."
MALCOLM X, 1960
Finals are once again upon us, however, this
time it is different for me. This will be the last
time I will ever take a final at CSUSM because
I am graduating this semester.
As I reflect back on my experiences at
CSUSM, I am constantly reminded of the challenges that I have encountered; from the 2,500word writing requirement in each class, to the
global awareness classes taken outside my major
mid upper division G.E. requirements, not to
mention my core major requirements themselves.
Just getting to CSUSM was a challenge.
Trying to keep up with the constantly changing
G.E. requirements for acceptance here was
stressful enough. Working to keep my head
above water, neglecting my family and social
life just went with die territory.
But part of my reflections that are most
special to me are the circumstances of how I
actually made it through CSUSM. I was never
really into school when I went to high school,
just average grades and no college prep classes
for me, I thought I could just surf every day (I
still do) and that would be enough.
When I decided to go to college, I was at a
disadvantage, with no college prep classes under my belt, and spent quite a few semesters at
MiraCosta College paying for it in prerequisite
classes. I finally came over the community
college hurdle and was ready for CSUSM.
Still unsure of myself and my ability to
complete a bachelors degree, there was one
person who really helped me take on the challenge. This person gave to me the self-confidence that I needed and gave me not only the
emotional support/but die financial support
also. This person is my grandfather, James
Ronald Sagel.
Grandfather has always supported me in
whatever I have wanted to do, his only requirement was that I was happy doing it.
Whatever made me happy, he was happy helping
me do i t
So when I decided to go to college, he was
behind me and gave me the courage and confidence to take on an area of my life that was not
one of my strong points.
When I got accepted to CSUSM it was one of
the most rewarding days of my life and his also.
I could hear the pride in him as we spoke on the
phone that day. He wore the CSUSM T-shirt,
thatlboughtforhim that summer before CSUSM
began, all the time.
To the man that made this dream possible for
me, it is ironic that I returned from his memorial
service the day I actually started class at CSUSM,
on the first day of classes at our new university
in the fall of 1990.
P ve made it because of my grandfather Jim.
As I await for the acceptance letters from grad
schools that I want to attend, and feel a little
uneasy about that challenge, I can hear my
grandpa say, "Jimbo I know you can do it if you
want to do it. I believe in you."
Thanks to you gramps, I know I can. The

Ad unfair: Give
students a choice
Once again, I picked up a copy of the Pioneer, excitedabout what this week's issue would
hold, and once again I became angry. I enjoyed
all of the articles, which I usually do, but the
articles are not the problem. What really aggravates me is your Birthright advertisements.
Birthright and other Pro-life organizations
are well known for their use of deceptive advertising; they often lure young pregnant women
into their clinics and shove pro-life views down
their throat. I find this practice to be despicable.
We are a growing university which has a
large population of women, some of whom
might have to make an important decision about
parenthood. I believe that this type of advertisement is unfair.
If you must run pro-life advertisement then
surely you can also run pro-choice views. This
would at least give our students a chance to
make up their own minds, without undue pressure from our newspaper, in other words, give
us a choice.

Supporting Union
donations of $5
I am writing in response to the letter written
by Tanis Brown in the March 17 edition of the
Pioneer. In the letter she proposed that each
member of the 1992 graduating class contribute
at least $5 toward the building of a Student
Union on the new CSUSM campus.
As part of the student body at a new university such as ours, we have an excellent opportunity to become involved and make an impact on
the future of CSUSM. Unfortunately, it is hard
for many of us to find extra time to help. I, being
one of those people, would like to thank Tanis
for her suggestion. Although I am not a member
of the graduating class, I would be happy to
contribute to the construction of a Student union
building. I support the concept and challenge
other student to contribute to this important
venture.

LARRY BOISJOLiE/PIONEER
T he story of Ramona and
Allessandm is a tale of love and
racial discrimination that h as
entrenched itself deep within t he
history of California.
T he legend, as written b y
Helen Hunt Jackson, recounts
the tragic plight of Ramona, a
half-white, half-Indian woman
who is raised b y rich Spanish
Catholics in the s tate's early
mission system. R amona f alls i n
l ove with Allessandro, a p oor
Indian, and f alls victim to the
prejudices heaped u pon t he
Indians b y the Spaniards and t he

It is a story that h as b een

personally i nterface w ith t he
history of t he local Indian
community.
Students said the class
emphasizes Indians within t he
realm of California. It contrasts
how history is portrayed and
h ow it really is.
' The class gives u s a c hance

Clark, a singer with the San

i iose in attendance of the Indian
Fair a f ew basic characteristics
of dancing and singing of the
North American Indians.
Clark said the dances of the
North American Indians are
separated into two distinct areas:
the northern and southern plains.
' The southern plains style of
the dance is d ifferent," h e said.
"Most dancers will dance
sunwise (or clockwise) following the path of the sun.
' The northern dances will
dance in the perimeter counterclockwise in a protective role.

Several dances that were
exhibited were the Scout or

is "hunting f or a particular game
of some p rey;" this allows the
dancer to become a more
" efficient stalker," Clark said.
Bill Whitehorse and Daniel
Mason demonstrated the Eagle
Dance and the audience participated in the Friendship Dance.

"There are many variations of

Happy times are here again—sort of
Patio Playhouse actors need to
relax and enjoy the good'times
D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
The play "Happy Times/' written
by Samuel Taylor and directed by
Jack G. White at the Patio Playhouse,
is an endearing and reminiscent production, but it also tries to solve the
same problems that arise in today's
society.
A young boy named Bibi, bordering manhood, observes the happiness
and pitfalls of love within his own
household. He has a drunken uncle
with a domineering wife, a traveling
uncle who gets love wherever he can,
an old feisty grandfather who loves
all women, and a crazy father who
makes a living of vaudeville, through
these men, the young boy learns about
women, love and about being a man.
Some of the actors of the Patio
Playhouse need to relax and enjoy the
parts they are playing. When Daniel
C Morris, who plays the travelling
Uncle Desmond,firstarrives on stage,
his lines are presented so quickly that
he cannot be understood. As the play
goes on, however, his speech slows
and he relaxes into his role.
Ian Boyd needs to f ed comfortable
playing the character Bibi. At times,
this viewer feels apprehensive, waiting for Boyd to relax and enjoy his
character so that the audience can
enjoy him.
Also, the characters at times seem
to be standing at attention, with arms
pressed to their sides, legs unbending
and bodies stiff. They look like sentries waiting for the command to move.
These actors need to feel comfortable
with the directions and confident with
their places on the stage.
Other actors, like Jerry Moorehead
playing Uncle Louis, are excellent.
Moorehead's demeanor is natural, and 7
he puts energy and enthusiasm into
his role. Uncle Louis is always drunk,
and the scene with him and his prospective son-in-law is wonderful and
funny. Both Louis ad Alfred, played
by j . Dennis Riddle, keep the audience
laughing and wondering what will
happen next.
Another excellent performance is
executed by Sue Jones as she plays
the part of Aunt Felice, Uncle Louis'
wife. She presents herself on stage
with an air of confidence. Her character screams, insinuates and takes
over the entire scene when she is
around. I like her character and the
Peggy Schneider, left to right, Jerry Moorehead, Sue Jones and David Y. Smith star in 'Happy Times,' playing at the Patio Playhous
Escondido through April 19. For tickets call 746-6669
way she presented her on the stage.
There is a touching scene between
father, played by David Y. Smith, and
Bibi. The father tries to explain the
difference between love and desire,
and when Bibi finally catches on,
both rejoice; so does the audience.
Some of these actors have never
been on stage before, and some of
them have limited stage appearances. 'Happy Times.'
All try very hard to make this an

'Lawnmower Man' needs some more trimming on its predictable plot
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
The actual lawnmower in "The Lawnmower
Man" is a perfect representation of the movie: a
standard piece of equipment, just spruced up a
ot.
Loosely based on a short story by Stephen
•Cing, ' The Lawnmower Man" has the standard
Frankenstein p lot A scientist, whether he's
nad or not, creates a creature or thing that is not
vhat he anticipated.
Movie-goers have seen variations on this
heme before and "The Lawnmower Man" folows the predictable Frankenstein pattern flawessly. This Brett Leonard film, however, is
surprisingly entertaining; after all, Frankenstein
s a good base to work with and this futuristic
/ersion has a few visually stimulating scenes.
The creation in "The Lawnmower Man" is a
computer simulation called Virtual Reality.
Established to be used as a military program,
Virtual Reality transports the subject into another world - a world of computer bits and bytes.
The program'sauthor, playedby Pierce Brosnan,
deviates from his military goal of the experiment when he starts using a human subject
Brosnan's scientist chooses the man who
mows his lawn, Job, to be his first human
subject. Jeff Fahey performs a convincingly
stupid gardener who has never grown to his full
potential.
Job is fed knowledge - and lots of i t He
learns Latin in two hours, becomes a master at
historic art and the sciences, stands up for himself, gives up comics and picks up a sex life.
This new creation, although extremely intelligent, still remains stupid.
Job learns with his new intelligence that
there is no separation between mind and matter,
and his electronic world starts to integrate with
everyone else's real world. In this new electronic
world, Job is God and i t's up to the scientist to
control him.
So the conflict is set: mad scientist trying to
stop mad creation. The story brings in a lot of
"Frankenstein," some "Charly" and a bit of
"Brainstorm." There's no new material in the
plot or conflict.
But what "The Lawnmower Man" does add
to the entertainment field is an amazing expansion of electronic animation. Computergenerated material is slowly being added to the
movie realm. Used in "The Last Starfighter"
and in several new Disneyfilms,computers are
making their mark.
Computer animation is what saves "The
Lawnmower Man" from being a boring rehash
of old plots.
The difficulty and artistic standards evolve
with the story. This creates some repetition of
some sequences and electronic scenes, but it all
leads to a spectacular grand finale. Job transforms
himself into energy and into zips the mainframe
computer, thus controlling the world's electronic
world. His first cry to his realm is when all the
phones, everywhere, ring at once.
The story is definitely predictable, but the
hint of King's suspense and an abundance of
computer animation make it worth seeing on the
big screen. Waiting for this one to come out on
video will take away the effects of the electronics,
leaving the movie with little to save itself. See
this show at a matinee, however, when it costs
half price.
And when the phone rings, be a bit more
skeptical when the gardener is on the other end.

Hospital finds cure for
bland institutional foods
Atone time, hospital cuisine ranked
equivalently to airline food or high
school cafeteria slop. But now some
health care institutions take their food
preparation as seriously as they do
their patients.
When I went to Palomar Hospital,
located on Valley Parkway in
Escondido, I expected to find a meal
that would keep me at the facilities for
a few days hooked up to the stomach
pump. What I found was a wellrounded healthy menu that was prepared with surgeon-like precision.
Palomar Hospital's cafeteria is, as
one would expect, spotlessly clean,
but without the antiseptic feel of oldtime hospital diners. Pleasantly colored tables and chairs add comfort to
the small eating area. I didn't get the
feeling that I was dining in an operating room. I felt gastrically comfortable.
Of course, the service is a buffetstyle. Due to the frenetic nature of
hospital workers and visitors, table
service would be out of the question.
The get-it-yourself ordering format
iSoLLEGIATEioURMET
BY L ARRY
BOISJOLIE
also offers the customer the opportunity to view the food before it is
decided upon.
I chose a fillet of cod smothered in
a lemony caper sauce. The cod was
very moist and perfectly flaky. Much
to my surprise, the caper sauce added
a continental elegance to my meal.
Although I really have no idea what a
caper is, the tiny morsels were juicy
and delectable.
The fish was served with rice and
mixed vegetables that tasted as if they
were freshly prepared. There were no
freezer-burned veggies in the bunch,
a luxury I didn't expect in a HealthCare facility.
The whole fish dish with a slice of
tangy, flaky cherry pie and a cup of
coffee is priced at a healthy $4.75.
My wife had a hunk of freshlybaked lasagna. The fare was loaded
with sauce and cheeses, with noodles
that were neither over-cooked nor
under-cooked. The hospital's lasagna
was barely a step below my own
homemade creation. Coming from
someone who lives to make lasagna,
this is high praise.
With the lasagna she ordered a
bowl of navy bean soup. Because
Palomar Hbspital cares about the
health of its diners, the soup was a bit
under-salted, an, ill that can be easily
remedied with a dash or two from a
shaker.
The lasagna, bean soup, a bowl of
Jell-O and a medium soft drink is a
orderly's dream at just over $5.
There is also a grill at the Palomar
Hospital cafeteria, where customers
can order anything from a cheeseburger to a tuna-melt.
I ordered a patty-melt. The sandwich contained not one, but two
quarter pound patties of beef smothered in melted Monterey Jack cheese
and served on grilled rye bread. The
hamburger far surpassed any found at

Of course there still remains those

is a refrigerator stocked full of yogurt,
fresh fruit, Jell-O and prune juice.
One of the most remarkable facets
of the cafeteria is the mass quantities
which it produces. The same dishes
found in the cafeteria are also served
to patients receiving treatment in the
facilities.
Generally speaking, visitations to
hospitals are not pleasing experiences.
Unfortunately, we all end up there
either as patients or visitors.
If you or a loved one is interred in
a room at Palomar Hospital, at least
you can find some comfort in the
knowledge that the food you will be
eating won't contribute to your ill
health.

Cal State San Marcos' third student election ballot has two propositions, a
tee measure, a president and 12 council representative seats to vote on. The
candidates are listed below, with statements from the two presidential candidates.
P RESIDENTIAL RACE
• W illiam 'Rob' Christensen: My platform is to protect the students'
rights. First, I would limit the size and spending of the A.S. Government. In
addition, I would solicit private donations from corporations to defray the costs
of building a Student Union. Furthermore, I would oppose any Student Union fee
or any increase in the A.S. fee. Finally, I would lobby against any tuition or other
fee increases at the CSU Board of Trustees or at the state legislative level.
• Laura M itchell: As your next Associated Student Government President,
I will work towards establishing and enhancing a university atmosphere, while
ordaining and maintaining an increased level of professionalism j n our A.S.
government. I believe it is time for a president who, while being accessible to the
diverse student population of our campus, bestows a fresh attitude in the A.S.
government. I will put forth my ideals and insights to bring about positive changes
both for the student government and to the men and women of this university.

�Two vie for A.S. president
Christensen stress better communication;
opposes Measure A, the Student Union fee
If elected A.S. president, William
"Rob" Christensen, wishes to become
a liaison between the A.S. Council
and students.
The 22-year-old Social Sciences
senior said the A.S. has gotten too
powerful. As president, he said he
would limit the size and spending of
the A.S. Council and delegate responsibilities to independent student
committees. Each committee would
have an independent A.S. liaison in
its numbers.
"One person cannot see all views," he
said "Wemustrely on the AS. Council's
recommendations and recommendations
from student committees."
Christensen himself has served on
the Student Governance Task Force
Committee, which authored the A.S.
Constitution, and the Academic Policy
and Planning Committee.
Christensen said he is not against
the idea of a Student Union Fee, but
cited the ballot's Measure A as being
too complex.
"I think the measure is too complicated and the information was given
out too late," Christensen said.
According to Christensen, the
Mitchell advocates stronger student voice,
club involvement and Student Union funding
Laura Mitchell hopes, if elected as
A.S. president, to make student government more accessible to the student
body.
The 29-year-old Liberal Studies^
major, who currently holds a seat on
the A.S. Council, said that government
decentralization would encourage
student involvement and more accurately reflect student needs.
"I would like to make the authority
of the student government not dependent on one figurehead," said
Mitchell.
As president, Mitchell would urge
the Inter-Club Council to play a
stronger role in student governance.
She said encouraging student participation in governance is also an important function of the A.S. president.
"(Students at CSUSM) are timelimited. We have to make participation more appealing," she said.
Because students next semester will
be forced to travel off campus to use
CSUSM's library and administrative
services, Mitchell said students will have
even less time than they do currently.
She sees a hands-on approach with
the constituency as the most viable
method of gaining student support.
Mitchell said she would like to make
the A.S. Office aplace where students
can go to air their problems and voice
Jljpir suggestions.
Mitchell also said she would like
to insure some kind of funding for a
Student Union Building as A.S.
president
"Anybody who's forward-thinking
would be in favor ofa Student Union,"
she said.
If Measure A, the ballot measure
establishing a S tudent Union Fee, does
not pass in the upcoming election,
Mitchell said she would like to use
excess A.S. monies to createa Student
Union fund.
Mitchell said that a Student Union
building will benefit CSUSM alumnus and future students by creating a
student-operated meeting place where
open forums may be held.
Due to the campus's older student
body population, Mitchell said the
issue of child-care at CSUSM needs
to be addressed. She said, however,

measure is not pro-rated for part-time
students. He also said the measure
does not make clear to students that
the Student Union Building will not
be completed for another 8-10 years.
"The A.S. should try to defray the
cost (of the Student Union) by soliciting outside sources," he said. After
seeking outside financial help, the
Council can then ask students for
additional funding.
Christensen said that due to
CSUSM's demographics, the A.S.
should be made more accessible to
older students. He said the answer to
the university's child-caie needs lies
in public and private sector grants.
He said that he would like to
strengthen the relationship between
the CSUSM Foundation and the A.S.
Council. By doing so, Christensen
said the two organizations can work
together in a business relationship to
yield more funds for student organizations and activities.
Christensen said one of the biggest
challenges facing the A.S. President
is gaining student participation.
"Students need to have an active
voice," he said.

Part two: Treatments' costs, results vary for HPV virus

" It's the way i t's always been
done," said Mary Parker, A.S. Council member. "It's universally accepted
across the country as an established
tradition.
The club will use the summer time
to establish the club, with possible
changes.
"We may set a little different rules
later, maybe a little more fraternitytype rules and not club rules," Calvillo
said.
Even though the group's activities
won't be in full swig until next semester, the group is planning a party
for May 2. No details have been determined, but the members can answer
any questions. They wear their new
T-shirts and sweat shirts every
Thursday to get the new club publicized and let people know they are
members.
Bill Alvillar is president, Billy
Harrison is secretary, Husam Riham
is Treasurer and Sandy Punch is the
advisor. Any interested student
wanting to join can talk with any of
these officers or call Calvillo at 4574563.
I am frequently asked if it is" easy to
diagnoseHumanPapillomavirus (HPV)
infection. The answer is yes and no.
For the most part, external genital
warts are visible on examination, although their appearance varies widely
somewhat depending on their location.
At times health care providers need
some aids to help identify HPV infection and infrequently a biopsy of the
skin may be necessary.
Detection of subclinical infection is
more difficult and usually requires special studies.
In women, there is a suggestion of
subclinical infection in the pap smear* a
special examination may be required.
Remember, the pap smear test is just a
screening test and not definitive. The
special examination is called
colposcopy. A colposcopy is a sophisticated microscope that allows the provider to more closely examine the surface of the cervix and other areas of the
female genital tract. At that time, a
biopsy may be done which offers a
definitive diagnosis.
Once HPV infection has been diagnosed, difficult decision confront both
the patient and the provider. With visible warts, most medical experts feel
H EALTHNOTES
BY DR. JOEL GRINOLDS, .M.D.
that treatment is warranted in order to
remove the wart itself and reduce the
chance that the infection will spread to
others. As I statedpreviously, therisk of
transmission is poorly understood;
however, two thirds of patients will get
HPV infectionfromtheir partner.
There are multiple approaches to
treatment each with its own advantage
and disadvantages. The treatment selected depends in part on the number
and location of warts, and on the availability of resources including equipment and the experience and training of
your providers.
Patient preferences should be considered also after a discussion of the
treatment option?. However, all treatments involve*somedestruction of local
tissue, as well as some pain and inconvenience.
Some of the common treatment modalities are cryotherapy (freezing), podophyllin (caustic chemical treatment),
trichloroacetic acid (another caustic
chemical treatment), electrodessication
(electric current surgery with local anesthesia), laser therapy (laser surgery
with anesthesia) and interferon (An antiviral drug treatment).
All of these treatments are performed
by a provider and vary widely in expense. As an example, laser surgery is
very expensive. Recently, a new form
ofpodophyllincalledPodofiloxhasbeen
approved by the FDA to be used at
homeby the patient under a provider's
supervision. In some situations, this
treatment can save patients time and
money since although the Podofilox is
expensive,less visits to a provider may
be required.
While each of these approaches is
helpful the troublesome news is two
fold.
First, hot any of these treatments
cause complete and total cure of HPV.
The treatments get rid of the virus by
destroying infected cells, but generally
doesn't destroy all the infected cells.
The HPVfrequentlyinhibits a wider
area of skin than the precise location of
the wart or warts.
Secondly, with any of the treatments
and even in the hands of the best providers, it is possible that the patient will
later have one or more recurrences iu
which new warts develop.
Although the above may sound unduly pessimistic, patients withHPV can
take comfort in the fact that the infection is mild and very manageable in the
vast majority of cases. Patience and
persistence are key to the treatment of
HPV. There are many unanswered
questions about this increasingly common infection.
The best advise again is prevention.
Although condoms may offer incomplete protection because they do not
cover all areas possibly infected, they
are the best protection known short of
abstinence. Communication with ones
partner is also essential.
If you think you have HPV or have
been diagnosed with HPV, see a provider who is experienced and has current knowledge ofHPV. Lastly, making
good general health a priority is equally
essential to maintain a healthy immune
system.

�Time out: start over

student population
Starting a university is aonce-in-a-lifetime opportunity for
some people. As Cal State San Marcos evolves, it encounters
some growing pains — some a minor and some others are
sharp pangs. Regardless, if the administration and founding
faculty could start all over, they would probably proceed in
just the same way, minus one factor — the current apathetic
student population.

Cal State San Marcos students
shine as examples to journalists
I think i t's safe to say that the 43rd annual California
Intercollegiate Press Association's annual conference at the
Lake San Marcos Resort was a great success for those at Cal State
San Marcos who participated.
Organizing a weekend of competitions, seminars and banquets was a Herculean task that few universities many times
greater in size would not have been able to pull off. Yet with only
a handful of bodies and an immeasurable amount of tenacity,
CSUSM students gave anew definition to the word "superhuman."
Unfortunately the community of Lake San Marcos might not
agree with this assessment.
During the course of the weekend, seven private boats were
cut loosefromtheir moorings on the tiny lake, causing damage
to some of the vessels.
Students were found passed out by the resort's'podside,
rendered unconscious from out-of-control partying the night
before.
Partying continued loudly until 4 a.m. in the mornings,
disturbing hotel guests and residents in the area. On the second
night of the conference, 12 policemen and one canine unit
swarmed the hotel in an unsuccessful attempt to squelch the
volume of the gaieties.
Needless to say, the Lake San Marcos Resort will never allow
the California Intercollegiate Press Association to hold another
conference on its premises.
Some of the problems could be attributed to the event's
scheduling. Set on thefirstweekend of spring break, the conference could have been construed by some as an invitation to cut
loose and throw responsibility to the wind.
Each year stories of unruly college students getting out of
control during spring breakfillthe news. Riots on the beaches of
Florida or the streets of Palm Springs are staples for Apn!

We did not
foresee, however, the degree of party-
ing that occurred.
We who organized the conference did so with the intent of
creating a stimulating and challenging atmosphere for college
journalists. We took our work seriously as we scrambled at all
hours to make sure that each event atthe conference ran smoothly
and with as few glitches as possible.
Yet, for each one of us, there were four others who had a
different agenda.
Itisinconceivablethat thevolunteered time of the conference's
numerous contributors, many of whom are professionals in the
field ofjournalism, could be eclipsed by the irresponsible actions
of a select few who found alcohol to be a better mental stimulant
than knowledge and healthy competition.
Nonetheless, those students at CSUSM (in particular Debbie
Duffy, Kathy Sullivan and Kimberly Courtney) should be proud
of their astounding efforts. With their never-say-die attitudes and
responsible behavior, they stood as shining examples of the
breed of student typified at CSUSM.
As overall winners of the conference, CSUSM's student
journalists were held as the role models for many a fledgling
college journalist. It is with great honor that I can say they filled

Once again, thecall for student involvement went out in the
form of Associated Students candidate applications. And
once again, CSUSM students did not head their calling. The
evidence is apparent when only seven people are running for
13 available A.S. Council positions.
And once again, i t's time for another scolding.
The administration's and faculty ' s challenge is to provide
a quality education in a culturally-enriched setting, CSUSM
has done more than its share with smaller classes, inspirational teachers and an abundance of campus concerts, festivals and activities.
The students' challenge is to meet the university's standards and provide student services for today and tomorrow.
But the vast majority is just concentrating on the educational
aspects of CSUSM and returning nothing to developing a true
campus community.
If a student does not participate, does not get involved, and
does not establish an example for future generations, then
leave this university. Go somewhere where your apathy could
go unnoticed and you can get lost in the shuffle and become
the little fish in a big ocean.
Go to San Diego State and deal with its small, cramped
classes or other colleges that aren't as unique as CSUSM.
Those uninvolved students haven't earned the quality of
instruction here at CSUSM.
At CSUSM, everyone is a big fish in a little puddle. The
spodight is bright, but students are not performing very well.
Let the people who really want to ease the university's
growing pains and assist in the evolution of CSUSM stay.
Then the student and faculty communities can work together
to form a university with a reputation of dignity, not apathy.
There's another call to the students and that's the A.S.
elections next week. Last year, a year of much more involvement, nearly 35 percent of the population voted/Live up to

crisis pregnancy centers ("Ad Unfair," March
31). Her charges against Birthright are totally
false. These Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers
exist solely to help women who are in a crisis
pregnancy situation with aid in many forms,
including housing, j ob assistance, adoption referrals, baby clothes and materials, labor coaching and finally support as well as many other
forms of helpful aid.
The centers are staffed by loving volunteers
who care both about the lives of unborn children
and the well-being of their mothers. I have heard
many testimonies from women who have been
helped in a myriad of ways from Pro-Life crisis
pregnancy centers and who thank God that they
were given the aid that helped them give life to
their children.
It seems to me that if Pro-Abortion groups
really cares for women (which they don't) they
would be at the forefront of the movement to
help women during their time of crisis. But they
do not help women in crisis, they sell abortion as
the only option a woman has, which kills unborn
children and scars women. If Pro-Abortion
groups were really for giving women a "choice"
they would not be so vehemently opposed to
those organizations that seek to help women
save their babies.
Contrary to the falsehood portrayed by Angela, Pro-Life crisis pregnancy centers do not
"lure and deceive" women into their centers to
"force" propaganda on them, but conversely
give them the true facts that they will never get
at an abortion clinic, including the aid and
alternatives to abortion that are available to
them, information on the development of their
unborn child, and reports on the possible physical
and emotional effects of abortion. Any woman
facing a crisis pregnancy will find at Birthright
and other crisis pregnancy centers not condemnation but only love, compassion, and any assistance they may need.
I would like to applaud the Pioneer for running Birthright advertisements, giving women a
real chance to choose life.

I have spent better than 20 years in and out of
the University campuses, both as a student and
as a visiting lecturer. One observation that always
holds true is that th& center of the campus
activities is the Student Union.
This is where the students like to feel like
they have a home, a place where they belong.
Even campuses that have a large number of
commuter students, like San Diego State or
Boise State, offer those students the opportunity
to experience more of university life than a
private University like National University.
The many features that Student Unions offer
are selected by the students, to benefit the students, and employ students. Imagine if you can

without the many features that their student
union can offer them.

�Despite public opinion, war-like game creates an adult-version of playing tag
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
I,
I t was Saturday morning and the
sun was shinning just bright enough
topenetratethethickfoliageofLion's
Den, a Paint Pellet Pursuit field in
Pala. The day's business was busy
and a large crowd of men, women and
even a few kids was heading for a
field known as "Pumpkin Patch."
"What's going to be your strategy?'' was a question asked to a camouflaged soldier.
"What's the camera for? What
magazine do you write for?" was the
reply.
After the standard introduction of
Cal State San Marcos and explanation ofPioneer, the question was asked
again: "What's going to be your strategy?"
"Hey, I'm going to be in the news-
paper," he shouted Not if he didn't
answer the question, he wasn't. A
bout went on for a few moments as the
stroll to the next field became more of
a hike. Just as the question was to be
withdrawn, he answered.
"I don't have one."
"A
i Lt first, there is no strategy,"
explained Clem Watts. But after playing the war-like game of Paint Pellet
Pufsuit, Watts says die need for
strategy becomes more apparent.
With only two previous days of
paint balling, Watts has already developed a five to seven man system.
The group travels across the playing
field, working together to accomplish
their task. Their goal* to capture the
flag.
Paint Pellet Pursuit is an adultversion of tag, or a toned-down version of war. In this game, specially
designed guns shoot paint pellets instead of bullets.
At about half an inch in diameter,
the plastic coated balls are shot from
specially made guns. The pellets travel
at about300feet per second and break
on contact, leaving a quarter-sized
paint blotch. The mark indicates a
"kill" and the player leaves the field.
The rest of the sport, however, is
just like a real war situation — from
camouflage uniforms to forested
playing fields.
With or without the use of strategy, a team must capture the opposing teams flag and return it to his base
to win. Thepioblem, however, is while
trying to retrieve the prize, the army
must also defend its own colors because the other team has the same
goal.
Steve McGovern thinks the pressureof the war situation is what makes
the game challenging. "People learn
how to work as a team while playing
under stress," the paint pellet veteran
said.
Watts agreed with McGovern's
ideas on team work, defending his
strategy. "The most important thing is
to communicate with each other."
CSUSM's Jeff Henson supports
the team play tactics and adds, "Don't
get h it" Henson has played several
times at the Borderland fields in Otay
and Weekend Warriors in Alpine.
"I'm mostly a defensive player,"
hecontinued.'T wait for them to come
forme. I try to get more of us to shoot
at them instead of vice versa. We try
to work as a team."
E
Lenson, fairly new to thè sport,
said the drawback to Paint Pellet Pursuit doesn't have to do with the game,
but how others perceive the sport.
"Public opinion is notagoodone,"
Henson stated. ' They think it's a
practice of war. It's not really that
(Besides) you only get one life in
war."
McGovern, a first class petty officer in the Navy, said that the people
who play like "Rambo" don't do very
well.
"Rambos die," Dan Marchand reiterated.
In fact, military tactics do not work
in the setting of Paint Pellet Pursuit.
The determining factor is because the
weapons, although improving technologically very rapidly, do not shoot
straight. Because of the liquid paint
and die seam around the pellet, firing
a paint ball rifle accurately is almost
impossible.
There is a slight chance that miliSEE PAINT/PAGE 10

The playing field was a forest; the
boundaries a tree line, river or road.
The uniform consisted of military
battle camouflage, a face guard with
goggles and colored arm bands. The
game ball (or balls) were paint pellets
that served as ammunition. The goal
was to capture the other team's flag
and the object of the game was war.
This was Paint Pellet Pursuit
I traveled on assignment to Borderland, a Paint Pellet playing field
near Otay Lakes. With me were several friends and their friends, a few
other Cal State San Marcos students
and an array of other war-hungry
people.
As the entire game proceed in front
of me — minus the few seconds I
played — I pondered the odds of me
actually getting to fire my weapon. If
not in battle, I decided, I could at least
shoot on the practice range.
The game ended and a nother

again I was killed within the first few
minutes of play.

I aimed, fired. Fired again and
again. Nothing; I missed everything.
It wasn't my lack of skill or my bad

this may look and sound like war, the

I again reviewed the rules and goals
of the game. Skill, talent or experience
could not be used in Paint Pellet
Pursuit. The one trick to winning is to
shoot as much as you can and hope
that it hits someone. In other words:

With that thought, I survived the
next game without being killed.

Devito, Jewison play with
'Other People's Money'
In this post-industrial society, small
corporations have barely a chance of
survival They are in constant danger
of money-hungry piranhas which
gobble them up like yesterday's lasagne and spit what remains into the
corporate shredder.
Norman Jewison's latest movie,
"Other People's Money" accurately
reflects the plight of America and the
future of its small businesses.
Danny DeVito plays L any "The
Liquidator," a corporate shark who
specializes in buying companies that
are losing money and scrapping them
for their assets. H e's a hybrid o f '
Donald Trump and Don Rickles whose
ruthlessness overlooks the jobs and
communities that will be destroyed
by his takeover philosophy.
Topping the Liquidator's list of
companies to be acquired is New
England Wire and Cable, a familyownedbusiness that has survived both
World Wars and the depression. Because the company is out of debt but
a bargain on the stock market, it is a
prime candidate for takeover. 4
Mp
THROUGH I Hi mm
w
BY S H E I L A
COSGROVE
The company's Chairman of the
Board Andrew Jorgenson, played by
Gregory Peck, sees the company as a
manifestation of tradition and a pillar
for the community. To help thwart the
buyout effort, he hires a feisty female
lawyer to save his corporation from
liquidation.
The battle for power thus begins
with often hilarious results. But beneath the comic facade of "Other
People's Money" is the darkreflection
of the state of American business
ventures.
DeVito'scharacter,like many Wall
Street power brokers, cares little for
the lives, that would be crushed by the
destruction of the town's major source
of revenue. He actually feels the
b enefit to the stock holders will
override the loss of jobs and community security.
This grab-the-bucks-while-you-
can attitude has turned many a, thriving steel-town into a ghost town.
Hundreds of years of tradition have
been erased in the course of a moderately active trading day on Wall
Street
This might sound like a glum revue
for a comedy, but it reflects the cold
reality at the heart of Jewison's film
— that America's obsession with the
almighty dollar is morally bankrupting the foundation of this country.
DeVito plays t heroleofLarry'The
Liquidator" convincingly and with
his usual lack of courteous reserve.
Peck's tradition bound company chair
reflects the innocence of the olden
days when a business*s name was as
important as the community.
If yourent "Other People'sMoney"
with the sole purpose of attaining a
f ew mindless giggles, then your
money would be better spent with
such mindless fare as "Drop Dead
Fred" or "Problem Child 2 ."
View the film with a serious eye
and you will find its true statement
hidden among the laughs.

�Anza Borrego still alive
with beauty, wildflowers
Over spring break I spent a vitalizing day at Anza Borrego Park. Thinking that the flower season had faded,
I was excited to find the desert still
alive with wildflowers.
The lower elevations have begun
to wane but the north sides of the
mountains and the mid and upper
elevations blaze with flowering cacti,
as well as red, yellow, purple and blue
perennials.
More than flowers enlivened my
hike up Palm Canyon, as newly
hatched Monarch butterflies flitted
fromflowerto shrub.
The canyon still has lots of water.
The palm-shaded pools and waterfalls
offer a refreshing respite on a warm
spring day. The one-and-a-half-mile
I trail up Palm Canyon begins in Palm
I Canyon Camp ground near the Anza
Borrego Visitor Center.
From the cool water of Palm
Canyon I started down the road to
Salton Sea, turning at the dirt road to

contains beauty in its stark deadlines.
My trip was awarded with something I had never seen before—the
Badlands covered with a mantle of
grass. Green Badlands! What an
oxymoron of visual perceptions.
On my way home nature gave me
another totally unexpected visual experience. Acres and acres of flowering apple trees dotted the hillsides of
Julian while red and black cattle stood
b elly d eep in green and yellow
meadows.
Just like a present wrapped in
beautiful paper, my day in Borrego
and Julian was a visual gift of multicolored flowers, meadows and butterflies.
Before theflowerdisplay reshapes
into fhiitandthedesertflowers wither
in the hot sun, I hope that you will
have the time to enjoy nature's extravagant gift of color.

will join us for the event. If past festivals are any indication, it should
be a lot of fun."

CSUSM Closing?
Registration continues as campus and state officials
deny reports that newest Cal State campus will close
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
On the day many Cal State San
Marcos students received their registration packets for fall 1992 enrollment, they were greeted by the uneasy
prospect that their campus could be
eliminated from the CSU system.
An article in Wednesday's Los
Angeles Times reported that CSU
Chancellor Barry Munitz told members of Sacramento's Comstock Club
that, faced with legislative budget cuts,
the CSU will be forced to close
campuses. The article specifically
named CSUSM as "in jeopardy" of
closure.
Although Munitz could not be
reached for comment, Max
Benavidez, a spokesman for the CSU,
denied allegations that CSUSM could
be shut down.
"I talked to the chancellor Monday
on the telephone and he was very
supportive (of CSUSM). I don't see
him crumbling a bit," CSUSM
President Bill Stacy said.
Stacy said that, in light of that
phone conversation, he was shocked
and surprised by the headlines in
Wednesday's Los Angeles Times. He
added that the chancellor gave no
indication that campus closure was
forthcoming.
According to Stacy, the
chancellor's concerns revolved
around the construction schedule at
CSUSM. In the event that Proposition
153 does not pass, campus construction could be "in jeopardy** and delayed for as much as two years. The
$900 million bond act would allocate
funds to public institutions of higher
education throughout California.
Because CSUSM is still in its
construction phase, it would be the
most severely affected by the failure
of Prop. 153. Stacy said that the Los
Angeles Times reporter incorrectly
interpreted the chancellor's statement
as meaning the campus might close.
Benavidez said if the CSU is shortchanged in the upcoming legislative
budget, Prop. 153 fails in the June
election, and student fees do not rise
by 40 percent, then 20,000 students
— a population of comparable to that
of a single campus—might be denied
admission to CSU schools.
"Ifall three occur," said Benavidez,
"we may actually have to close down
a campus. It is doubtful that it would
be CSUSM."
The spokesman said that the
chancellor is still committed to the
expansion of CSUSM and would actually like a speed-up of building if at
all possible.
In September, Munitz indicated
that he would like to see construction
at the Twin Oaks Valley Road site
accelerated to accommodate overflow
from other CSU schools.
"Because it*s new, because its
needs are so great... this (campus)
has to be a priority for the state,"
Munitz told reporters.
Even though officials deny that
CSUSM might be closed, the Los
Angeles Times article sparked concerns and reactions in community
leaders, staff and students.
"All this smoke has caused lots of
anxiety," Stacy said.
On the day the article appeared in
newsstands, a prestigious faculty
member from Pennsylvania State
University was visiting the campus
and assessing job opportunities at
CSUSM. Stacy said the professor
showed confusion over the future of
the university.
Barbara Davis, who served as
secretary to the president when the
article was published, said that a
number of students dropped by the
office to voice their reactions.
"Anger was prevalent and real
concern," Davis said. "People seemed
to be galvanized into action."
Davis said students voiced "real
opposition" to the statementand were
ready to respond.

International flair sets tone for
first commencement ceremony
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
The first commencement for Cal
State San Marcos is scheduled for
May 23 in a setting that reflects a
campus of the 21st century.
Beginning at 1 p.m., the graduation
ceremony has a touch of international
flair mixed in with traditional elements. Betty Huff who heads the organizational committee, said the students have opted for a more traditional ceremony, even to the point of
requesting "Pomp andCircumstance"
being performed during the processional.
"They (the students) wanted the
program to represent the occasion,"
Huff said. "It will have a sense of the
international feel of the campus, but
not like the International Festival"
Dr. Komla Amaoku, a master African drummer and CSUSM instructor, will open commencement Henry
Rodriquez, an elder with the Luisefio
Indian Tribe, will close. The CSUSM
student Andean Ensemble will perform before the ceremony begins.
Huff said about 100 students will
receive their Bachelors degree and 50
others will be recognized for completing the teacher credential program.
Also, "Students with honors will be
recognized," she said.
As part of the program, estimated
to last a little more than an hour, there
will be time to introduce special guests.
'There will be special recognition
of people who have contributed to the
university," Huff said. 'This will be a
unique one because there will be a
little more introduction because it*s
the first one."
The ceremony will take place at
the Twin Oaks campus, still under
construction. The main driveway and
turn-around, where the event will take
place, is completed and landscaped.
Originally, the committee had planned
to seat the graduates on the main
stairway, but, "They informed me that
thePlaza Stairs will not be completed."
Huff said.
Huff said that parking is limited,
since construction on the parking lots
have not yet been started. She advises
guests to car pool.
Guests and graduates may stay at

A.S. President-electLaura Mitchell
said she discussed the article with
staff members and wasn't worried
that the campus would not exist in
fall.
"Any student who read the story
would know we weren'tclosing," she
said.
According to Mitchell, panic was
avoided by extensivecommunication
between Stacy and staff members. On
the morning of the article, Stacy sent
an electronic message over campus
computers to stifle fears of CSUSM's
closure.
Mitchell said the faculty and administration then communicated
Stacy's message to students.
Future CSUSM students, however,
didn'tshare the same degreeofaccess.
Davis said one student from San
Marcos High School was concerned
that the campus would not be around
in a few years.
Former A.S. Council member Traci
Barnhill, who took this semester off
to have a baby, said she didn't know
whether or not tore-apply to CSUSM.
She said she was concerned that the
campus would not be there.
San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau
said he wasn't too worried over the
article's implications, but received a
number ofcalls from people who were.
San Marcos's Heart of the City zoning plan revolves around the construction of the university.
"Having been involved (in
CSUSM's development) from the
beginning, I wasn't real concerned
that it would be closed. I was anxious
to get aresponse however," Thibadeau
said.
He said he talked to the
Chancellor's Office on Wednesday
and was assured that the article reflected a misinterpretation of Munitz's
words. Thibadeau said the chancellor
used CSUSM as an example should
Prop 153 fail.
Some campus officials speculated
that, through his statement, the chancellor may have been trying to shock
the people of San Diego into voting
'yes' on Prop. 153. Since the San
Diego constituency voted down the
previous higher education proposition,
some viewed the chancellor's words
as a warning on the next ballot initiative.
"I don't think he deliberately sent
out a message to spank San Diego or
San Marcos," Stacy said. He said the
chancellor was expressing how desperately the CSU needs additional
funding.
Last week California Governor
Pete Wilson called for a $4 billion cut
in the state budget Such a cut could
take as much as $300million from the
CSU. Last year's $ 198 million budget
cuts in the CSU caused dramatic
cutbacks in class offerings and staff
layoffs through 19 of the system's 20
campuses.
Stacy said that CSUSM is requesting a $22 million dollar budget
from the Chancellor's Office. He said
' a reduction of funds to the CSU could
cut the campus's operations budget to
$17.8 million.
The university also relies on the
passing of Prop 153 to furnish the
permanent campus. If passed, Prop
153 would funnel $27 million to
CSUSM for construction, equipment
and furnishings.
"We've begun to pre-order equipment based on thebond issue passing,"
Stacy said. "We have three buildings
non-furnished or equipped. There's
not a stick of furniture in those
buildings."

Antibiotic use is no secret
I don't normally read Dear Abby
or get much chance these days of
ready the paper at all. However, recently there was small piece in the
Dear Abby column that I feel needs a
response and is of interest to collegeage patients.
The column implied that medical
professionals are intentionally keep
"a well-kept secret from their patients." The supposed secret is that
antibiotics decrease the effectiveness
of oral contraceptives and cause a
significant number of unwanted
pregnancies.
To begin with, oral contraceptives
are not perfect It is important to realize the pregnancies can occasionally
occur even though the patient has
taken all of her pills on schedule. The
lowest expected first-year reported
failure rate is 0.1 percent. In fact, it is
probably closer to 3 percent Many
different factors go into the 3 percent
range. These are primarily related to
compliance in pill taking.
In my research of the subject,
studies only indicate one antibiotic
that definitely interferes with contraceptive effectiveness. It is called
HEALTHNOTES
BY D R. J OEL G RINOLDS,
? M.D.
Rifampin and is primarily used to
treat tuberculosis.
There have been questions about
two other classes of antibiotics that
women frequently take/Penicillin
class drugs (like ampicillin) and tetracycline class drugs are thought by
some to interfere with contraceptives;
however, in studies, no interference
was detected and no pregnancies occurred.
A recent study in 1991 looked at
Doxycycline, a frequently used tetracycline, and found no interference.
The authors state that "pregnancies
attribute to interaction of oral contraceptives and tetracyclines are actually due to othejeauses or represent
a rare idiosyncratic response in individual women."
In my experience many women
take tetracycline for acne and oral
contraceptive at the same time and
have no increaserateof pregnancy.
I further discussed with Dr.
Michael Kettle, assistant professor at
the University of California, San Di. ego in the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology. His expertise is
in the areas of hormonal problems in
females and is an expert in the use of
oral contraceptives. He verified the
information I found and stated that
except for Rifampin, he issues no
special precautions to women who
are on other antibiotics.
As in the case with any medical
problem or treatment, individuals
should discuss medication interaction
with their personal medical provider
and determine for themselves their
course of action. If there is doubt in
your mind if this specific case, the use
of a back-up barrier method contraceptive during antibiotic use is always
appropriate.
Have a happy and healthy summer.

When Thomas Jefferson worked on
building a government for this newly formed
nation, his support of afreepress for a free
society was resolute.
"If I could choose between a government
without the press and the press without a

Jefferson said.
He envisioned the press as a kind of

San Marcos isn't a college town — yet
The city of San Marcos fought against other
North County cities to win the honor of having
the newest Cal State campus built here; it is
obvious from talking with any city or civic
member within this community that they take
pride in the new university that is now being
built in the heart of San Marcos.
But those same happy people should have
checked with the residents of San Marcos, because over the past year, they have been fighting
their own battle of trying to keep every other
development out of the city.
From new businesses to an array of housing
projects, residents have blasted everything that
comes before the City Council. Most of the
proposals are legitimate and necessary to prepare
San Marcos for the student population it will
have in several years — 35,000fromCSUSM
alone in 2010—but the residents denounce the
projects saying they will bring crime, gang
violence and reduce property value.
Just last week, the San Marcos City Council
approved a low- to moderate-income housing
development The council members were met
with an onslaught of protestsfromthe neighboring residents in a seniors-only mobile homes
park. One resident was even quoted as saying,
"We do not need an incubator for future gang
members in our backyard."
The San Marcos Planning Commission gave
its unanimous approval to the project last year,
but not without the same battle with neighboring residents. "We are not against young
people, all we are asking is that what we worked
for all our lives not be taken away," a resident
said then.
Wait Businesses do not advocate crime or

COLUMNIST
sell drugs; they provide services, merchandise
and tax revenues for the city. New homes, too,
do not house gang lords or noisy maniacs; they
provide a residence for families, working singles
and aspiring students.
The record shows that low- and moderatehousing projects, if planned properly, do not
attribute to the crime statistics any more than the
seniors that are complaining do. Those residents
and the majority of San Marcos are wrongfully
stereotyping students.
The same complaints — crime, gangs,
property value — hurt a Single Resident Occupancy development last November. The objecting citizens recited their dissatisfaction
verbatim — crime, gangs, property value.
Yet the SRO developer has reports of successful projects completed and run by his firm.
In addition, the project proposed for San Marcos included larger rooms, stricter rules and
better supervision. This housing was ideal for
students who wanted a place to call home and
not live in the stuffy dorms on campus.
"We're using an upgrade SRO concept These
are no seedy, small rooms but luxury studios for
one or two people," said David Hadjesfromthe
Argento Group, the consultingfirmrepresenting the landowner. 'There is a real need in our
community for affordable housing. This in not
going to be a flop house." Hadjes said the people
who will qualify for this type of housing are
seniors, police and fire professionals, bank
tellers, waiters/waitresses as well as college
students.
Now, however, the SRO project has been
changed to a senior complex. It will attract more
of the same people to the area who do not want
what is coming — students.
San Marcos residents must realize they are in
a college town. Half the population in 10 to 20
years will either be enrolled or working at
CSUSM. A large portion will also be attending
Palomar Community College,justminutesaway.
Their enrollment is projected at 65,000 within
the next IS years, according to Public Information officials.
The senior citizens, therichand the snobby
people in San Marcos will be out numbered. But
if something is not done now, there will be a
housing problem later.
Trust the City Council. They have developed
a master-planned zoning around the university
to deal with the housing, traffic and relationship
between the campus and local community. The
city must incorporate low- and moderate-income
housing now, to coincide with the campus*
growth and prepare for the future.
Stop your stereotyping. Stop your whining.
There is a fantastic new creation in town called
a university and everyone can benefitfromit if
everyone works together to build not a college
community for the 21st century.
EDITORIAL
information in a governmental structure
where knowledge is vital to public enlightenment From this kind of envisionment by
the founding fathers, the First Amendment
of the Constitution was born.
No one who supports the idealisms of the
American system of government refutes the
notion that a free press stands as a vital
establishment for public enlightenment But
sometimes the inherent power of the free
press has negative results.
In its zeal to inform the American public
on breaking and active news, the press
oftentimes creates or augments societal ailments.
The coverage of last week's tragicriotsin
Los Angeles illustrates how the press's influence propagated, rather than alleviated a
problem. Looters saw first-hand, at any hour
of the day or night, which businesses were
unprotected by police forces and open for
ransacking.
While television newscasters stated, "It
may be hours before police are able to arrive
and secure the grocery store," hundreds of
starving families in the area seized the opportunity to take what was readily needed
and available to them.
As a result, bands of looting "thugs" were
joinedby mothers, children and elderlypeople
who seized the opportunity to lift diapers and
foodfromthe market Representatives from
all demographic groups participated in the
looting of businesses simply because the
press gave them the green light to do so.
The press, fueled by public appeal,
broadcasted every aspect of theriotsand
were rewarded by healthy viewerships.
Certainly the people of L.A. had therightto
know what tragedies were occurring in their
city, but the press went too far in its coverage
of events.
The United States is the only nation in the
world which televises riots in progress. If
television stations are afforded the opportunity to cover another outbreak similar to last
week's, let's hope they exercise more sensitivity and common sense.

A THOUGHT;
"Upon the weak the strong ones
prey. In human life, it's all so true,
the strong will try to conquer you.
And that is what you must expect,
unless you use your intellect."
from THE SWORD IN THE STONE
If our elementary and secondary educational
systems were human they would be in the Intensive Care Unit dying from coronary heart
disease. The educational system of today is like
a plugged artery filled with plaque. The plaque
which blocks the educational system are wasteful
spending, bureaucracy, and inefficient instruction of children in public schools.
The cure to this disease is a transplant from
the current educational system to a school
voucher system where parents can choose which
schools (public or private, religious or nonreligious) they want their child or children to
attend. There are many benefits which the school
voucher system presents to American society.
The first benefit is social because, with a
school voucher system, the following could and
would occur.
First, poor people could afford to attend most
private schools if they choose to do so. Secondly,
minorities and poor whites would be empowered
to escape the inferior public schools of the inner
cities which are falling apart and filled with
violence. Thirdly, the school voucher system
would create an integration of socio-economic
groups as well as ethnic and racial groups in
public and private schools that the public schools
have failed to do with forced integration of
schools in the 1970s and the magnet schools of
the 1980s.
Besides social benefits, there are numerous
educational goods to the school voucher system.
One thing a school voucher system might do is
force public school educators to abandon failing
child-centered, progressive educational theories,
and force them back to the basics in education
and discipline, which propelled America to have
the best educational system in the world in the
1950s and 1960s.
In addition, schools might get back to the
principle of teaching the 3Rs — reading, writing and arithmetic — instead of distributing
condoms on the high school campuses and
acting as a health clinic.
Jim Downs, a retired public high school
teacher, stated in his Blade-Citizen commentary
that, "I was surprised to note again and again
over the years that students coming out of St.
Francis Catholic School in Vista, where there is
no gifted program, knew more American History than those coming out of the Lincoln Middle
School gifted program. Moreover, they (the St.
Francis students)had superior expository writing
skills."
In addition to the educational benefits, there
are multitudinous economic advantages in
having a school voucher system. First, the current
school choice initiative would give $5,200 to
public schools per student (the current outlay
per student) and give a $2,600 voucher to a
parent who decides to enroll his or her child in
a private school. Thus, if parents choose to use
a voucher for private schools, then the state of
California would save $2,600 per child who
went to private school and the money saved
could be used towards the staters fiscal or social

problems or refund it back to the citizens.
Secondly, it California had a school voucher
system, the state would not need to build as
many schools because the private sector
(schools) would lessen the load on public schools,
and the private sector (schools) would develop
new schools as the demand for them increased;
thus saving the state tens of millions of dollars
in capital construction costs of schools.
Thirdly* why should public schools hold a
monopoly when they are doing an insufficient
job in educating our youth, and when the federal
government prohibits monopolies (i.e. The
Shaman Anti-Trust Act) except in utility ánd
other specialized industries.'
Finally, why should California taxpayers
have to pay twice if they choose to enroll their
child or children in private schools, especially
when public schools offer an inferior education
compared to private schools.
I call upon the faculty, students and staff at
CSU San Marcos to support an elementary and
secondary school voucher system in the state of
California.

Student apathy scolding
is reprehensible action
I am responding to the notion that CSUSM
students aré apathetic to the growing pains of
this university. Your staff editorial (April 21)
states, "If the administration and founding faculty
could start all over, the would probably proceed
. . . minus one factor — the current apathetic
student population.** This statement and your
scolding is reprehensible. Yes, this university
could benefit from a more active student
population. However, it is imperative to understand the demographic make-up of the current student population before judgement is
passed.
A large number of students are older and
returning to college for the umpteenth time.
Many students are married and more than a few
have children. Some are single parents. Home
mortgages are not out of the ordinary. Jobs are
a given. Furthermore, I would venture to say
that this may be the last opportunity for many
students to earn a degree. Graduating will be a
miracle! We are not freshman-age youngsters
riding on the backs of supportive parents, ignorant and bliss to the realities of life. We are
hardened individuals that need to graduate as
soon as possible. If feasible, we will help guide
ad mold this university. However, don't condemn
us if we are unable to contribute in a fashion you
deemfit.So lighten up Pioneer! This university
will survive. Student governmentandeverything
else associated with it will flourish when the
demographics shift to a more traditional makeup.

T aintbair sport does
require skill, experience
This letter is in response to Jonathan Young' s
articles about Paint Pellet Pursuit, more commonly called Paintball. I have been playing the
sport forfiveyears, own all my own equipment,
and have played at all the San Diego fields.
The two articles that Mr. Young wrote were
positive in nature, which contrast much of the
press. His first article, entitled "Despite public
opinion, war-like game creates an adult-version
of playing tag," was a good overview of the
sport
But I disagree strongly with Mr. Young's
article, "Forget skill, experiences; winning a
game is all luck." As an experienced player, I
have the advantage of understanding how the
guns work, and that understanding allows me to
work the guns efficiently and aim the guns with
accuracy.
Besides understanding how the guns work,
skill and experience do help. I have learned to be
patient and control my fear, reacting in a controlled fashion byfiringback and seeking cover.
Patience keeps experienced players from rushing into situations where they may be eliminated
quickly without accomplishing their goal.
Strategy is also an important element. It is
developed with knowledge gained after each
time played, its equipment, terrain, and action
of the other players. I think experience and skill
are helpful in winning and enjoying the game of
paintball.

DEBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
A shot in the dark. A scream. The
smell of smoke. Who killed whom?
Every element contained in a
murder mystery can be experienced
in the "Boardwalk Melody Hour
Murder" at the Mystery Café. The
audience tries to identify the victims,
Jie murderers, and the witnesses in
bis theatrical whodunit, butthey must
be quick to catch the clues.
Set at the "Imperial Ballroom" in
Atlantic City in the year 1932, the
'Broadway Melody Hour Murders"
invites its guests to dine and enjoy a
full evening of sleuthing entertainment
Throughout the entire performance, the characters interact with
ihe audience. One parson in the aulience has to point the gun at a murder
suspect for the "G" man. Another
person is asked to watch the baby
carriage for Mrs. Bambino.
In between the acts, the characters
serve the meal, but they also whisper
¿lues to anyone asking, and they will
also sit and chat with a group of "detectives." Everyone viewing the play
must grasp as many clues as possible
in order to solve the mystery. Even
Dribery is accepted (everyone gets
Monopoly money for bribes).
All the actors perform excellently.
Particularly superb is Queenie 'Mad
Woman* Malone (Diane Thrasher).
Ser striking red hair clashes well with

she has arrived.

Dive into (lining enjoyment
exclusive to Sand Crab Café
There's a kind of primitive joy
associated with dining at the Sand
Crab Cafe. At this unique restaurant
in Escondido, the delight that comes
with rolling your sleeves up and digging intoapileof oceanic treats offers
diners the opportunity to cast all formal dining styles to the tides.
Although Emily Post might object
to the Sand Crab's offbeat practice of
serving shellfish without the luxuries
of silverware or plates, the tasty fare
at this small hideaway far outsails its
unusual etiquette.
For its seafood specials, servers at
the Sand Crab cover their tables with
sheets of white papa*. A roll of paper
towels is discretely placed on each
table, to be used as napkins while
dining. Each customer is given a small
mallet and a pounding block to break
the shells of crab legs.
Food servers then dump a bucket
of seafood specialties directly onto
the table itself for diners to grab and
devour at their discretion. This style \
of serving bears intimate resemblance
to a New England clambake or

Louisiana crawfish feast
I ordered the Fisherman's Sampler
and was pleasantly surprised at its
wide variety of delectablesfromthe
depths. The selection contained
shrimp, clams, snow crab clusters,
crawfish, New Zealand mussels, stone
crab claws, a small lobster tail, sausage, new potato wedges, corn-onthe-cob and sourdough bread.
The entire oceanic entourage is
boiled to perfection in a broth of savory spices. Be aware that the shrimp,
crawfish, clams and mussels are
served au natural, so delicate peeling
and digging is required.
With the mallets and pounding
block, the Sand Crab gives customers
the ability to exercise the primitive
urge to pound something. I found the
little wooden implements to be most
efficacious for crunching the heck out
of thebothersomeshells that surround
the delectable meat of crab legs. I
discovered that a supple snapping of
the wrist is the most effective technique in wielding the instruments.
Diners are given small containers
of melted butter, cocktail sauce and
honey-mustard sauce for dipping.
Apart from the seafood in the
Fisherman's Sampler, I found the
pieces sausage a welcome and slightly
spicy addition to the meal. The small
morsels will make your tastebuds
swim in delight
For those who don't care for seafood, the Sand Crab has a lunch menu
filled with hamburgers and sandwiches. Spaghetti and dinner salads
also grace the menu for non-seafood
lovers.
For dessert, I indulged in the Key
lime pie, a tangy and creamy treat
which perfectly topped the meal. The
café also offers Snickers cheese cake,
an unusual hybrid of the candy bar
and the post-dinner classic.

You don't need to wear a shirt and

Café. The atmosphere is casual and
would make both ancient mariners
and inland marauders feel at home.
The service is especially friendly,
with food servers willing and ready to
give advice on how to eat crawfish or
shell shrimp.
My entire meal ran about $15, including tax and gratuities, a bargain
price for dining enjoyment.
The Sand Crab Café is not the type
of restaurant to visit if you wish to
dine solo, since part of the charm of
the restaurant is watching your friends
or family dig into the pile of steaming
shellfish with bare hands.
