University's architecture reflects Italian style Over the next few decades, students attending the Cal State San Marcos will study in an atmosphere similar to that of a Mediterranean village. The $650-$700 million construction project which began in fall 1990 will span a period of over two decades and cover 305 acres. The nearly completed first phase of the project includes a laboratory building, commons, a lecture hall and the $14.6 million William A. Craven Administration Building. The entire cost of Phase I rings in at about $47.5 million. According to Albert Amado, vice president for Physical Planning and Campus Construction, students entering the campus this fall will see and feel the campus's architectural statement immediately. "We will make a major entry statement of quality and outside openness," said Amado. "We shouldn't wait until the last phase to create an atmosphere." Amado said the Mediterranean village design of the architecture came about only after the concept of tfie campus was reviewed. To reduce pedestrian circulation time, buildings throughout all phases of construction will be condensed into an easily accessible formation. Most buildings will have maximum widths of 50 feet and will rise a minimum of four stories, thereby creating the feeling of a condensed Italian village. "In trying to respect the terrain, we get a Mediterranean sense. The campus will resemble a crested Italian hill town," Amado said. He said he wanted the campus to "read as one strong architectural statement." According to Amado, many of the other campuses did not account for future growth at their onset. As a result those campuses contain mixed architectural styles. "We are one of the few universities that are master-planned for full growth," said Amado. To help develop the campus's master architectural plan, Amado worked for a full year with CRSS Inc., an architectural group based in Irvine, to develop concepts and plans. Some of the completed campus's features will be: computing system for the entire campus as well as administrative offices and the library for Phase I. • A six-lane main entry way. Flanked by three rows of trees on each side, the drive will make a major entry statement to the campus. • The Grand Piazza or grand plaza.

During the two-year construction history of the campus, events occurred which led many to wonder if the campus would open by its scheduled time of fall 1992. There were contractors disputes and bouts with droughts. The "March Miracle" came along and almost drowned hopes of opening the university campus on time. Financial problems placed the campus in dire "jeopardy." Amid the construction problems, the university received a state-ofthe-arts telecommunications system for its campus. Building bids came in more than $1 million below projected costs. Here is a look back at CSUSM turbulent construction history as written in Pioneer by Larry Boisjolie. • CSUSM approved: On Sept 1,1989, California Governor George Deukmejian (R) and 38th District Senator William Craven (R) took part in the signing of SB 365 into law. The bill officially named the new California State University campus as CSU, San Marcos. The signing took place at San Diego State University's North County campus, the two-year home of the new university. CSUSM became the twentieth campus in the CSU. reflective of the tone of future projects. He hopes bids for the new campus's other "feature" buildings will be lower as well. The State University Board of trustees approved the bid in November of 1990. • Dispute halts construction: A dispute between Louetto Construction Inc., of Escondido, and grading subcontractor C.W. Poss, of Anaheim, halted construction for more than six weeks in September and October of 1990. Poss officials claimed that Louetto was delinquent in paying them $1.3 million for work already completed at the site. The subcontractor refused to continue work until the debt was paid.

Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said that even minor delays in thefirststage of construction could "set of a major chain reaction" resulting in a possible delay of the fall 1992 scheduled opening of the new campus. Since 1985, Louetto has been involved in 52 lawsuits with its subcontractors. Most of the suits charged Louetto with failure to pay for work done on jobs in the county.

Because the conflict remained unresolved by Oct 31,1990, Reliance informed the university that they could take over the project aftpr Louetto's contract was terminated. CSUSM then fired Louetto, leaving the campus without a builder. On Nov. 9,1990, Reliance announced the selection of Lusardi Construction Co. to resume work on the campus. College officials worried that the delay in construction might postpone the fall 1992 opening of the campus. • Construction resumes amid drought: Even though construction on the $14.3 million Craven Hall Building had begun, university officials voiced concerns that drought conditions and budgetary problems might drench all hopes of opening the campus by its scheduled fall 1992 date. Albeit Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning, sail all of the time buffer allotted to construction of the campus was eaten up by a dispute between Louetto Construction Inc. and grading subcontractor C.W.

Although Lusardi Construction Co. met its first construction deadline in March 1991, the 5-yearold drought facing California presented new obstacles. On March 14,1991, directors of the San Diego County Water Authority unanimously approved enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history. The restrictions would have required that residents of San Diego County cut water usage by 50 percent Amado said the campus would seek water from a different water authority if necessary, or it would drill wells on the site to supply water for the construction project Another problem facing the campus was the lack of available funding from the state.

"The key question for us will be, Worries that drought-induced water rationing would impede construction at the site were drowned when heavy rainfall hit San Marcos. The "NJarch Miracle" left the ground too muddy, thereby hindering construction progress. "The ground under Craven Hall was so saturated, we had vehicles getting stuck in the mud," said Albert Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning. "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 Continued from previous page "How much is a name worth?"

The only named building on the campus, the William Craven Administration Hall, is named for the California state senator who signed the bill which brought CSUSM into existence. how fast can the state of California afford to build buildings?" said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. "The students are here - demand is here. It's just how fast can we house them." 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. "It makes access to the university as far away as the nearest phone," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. • Recession aids construction: While the economic recession slowed down consumer spending, it may actually have sped-up construction of CSUSM's campus.

The article specifically named CSUSM as "in jeopardy" of closure. Max Benavidez, a spokesperson for the CSU, denied allegations that CSUSM could be shut down. CSUSM President Bill Stacy said he talked to the chancellor and received no indication that the campus would close. 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.

But for the people who woik for the city of San Marcos, Cal State San Marcos has been a main focal point for the community's future development and growth.

"Walk on in," is how Malone described the concept. • Civic, Business Centers accent plans: Two main develop- ments accent the "Heart of the City" project: a University Center will directly neighbor the college and a Civic Center — housing the city's government — will mirror the university on the opposite side of the freeway. The Civic Center will be a civic and cultural complex which will include City Hall, a conference center, cultural facilities, recreation center, commercial offices, a hotel and a park. The City Hall complex design will gives special consideration to the creation of a vertical focal point with high visibility from the freeway, to compliment the clock tower at Cal State San Marcos. The business park will comprise of high tech/industrial/office parks in a master-planned setting. Support commercial uses, such as hotels and health spas, would also be included. Land use within this designation shall be conducive to high quality use. No drive-thru facilities will be allowed. • Monorail on track: Officials with the North County Transportation District agreed in October, 1992, to match San Marcos' commitment to study a monorail system that will serve the new campus of CSUSM. NCTD board members agreed to spend $5,000 to study alternatives of 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 Trolly. This commuter line would use already in place train tracks crossing the North County area. Malone said the current proposal only needs some additions to the rails to make the commute line operations — such as more crossing signals and electric wires to power the trolly. The monorail system, however, would require a whole new set of elevated tracks. The transit district has shied away from the additional costs of elevating a new track line because of the costs involved. Malone, however, said NCTD will recover its investment. "The university it what makes it feasible this early in time," he said. When fully implements, Malone said 20 percent of theriderswould 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's presence.

You can make a difference by investing in a Student Union The Student Union is a building for the students, built with student fees, planned by students and run by students. This proposed Student Union containsroomsthat can be used for concerts, club meetings, special presentations, a bookstore, plus much more. It can generate income for additional student needs o | be run as a non-profit organization (which adds up to students saving $$). As our campus grows, we will out-grow the offices, dub meetingrooms,and food services in the Commons building. The Commons building does not belong to the students, it belongs to the University, which means that we can be moved around, displaced, or re-scheduled according to the University's needs. This is why we are trying to get the ballrollingfor the student's so that they can take advantage of the benefits of a Student Union by the year 2000. This semester, your student government would like your support in passing the Student Union initiative.

All summer long, the histcay major watched with anxiety ^ the construction of his new school. "At first I wasn't sure it would be finished," Lemus said, "but as school came closer I knew we would have a campus." Transferring from Palomar College this year, Lemus said the newness of the school was a major attraction for him. He said he looked forward to being among the first class of students to learn in the nation's newest university. liberal Studies major Sean Martin, who previously attended CSUSM's temporary campus, said the new buildings give students a newfound identity and s ense of pride. "It feels like a real school finally," Martin said. ' The of• II • fice buildings just didn't seem CSU SAN MARCOS real." Martin is ™B"III1BBIII"II,™"II,IB" one of the students active in Sigma Phi Delta, CSUSM's first fraternity. Lemus, Martin and about 2,000 other students swarmed the campus last week during the university's first week of instruction. Most came with smiles and a sense of ownership. "It's been a pleasure watching the NEW owners coming to claim their campus," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. Stacy, who watched the site develop from ideas to physical campus, said the buildings are secondary to education. Still he shows great pride m the project. " It's like building your home," Stacy said, "except I 'm not the homeowner. I'm more like a catalyst . .. an instigator . .. a player." Sandy Kuchler, director of Student Developmental Services, said she welcomed the new campus after s pending ten y ears at the Los Vallecitos Site, working with SDSU North County beforejoining CSUSM.

"We are still shooting for moving the week of the 28th, (but) I wouldn't confirm what day we would be there right now," said Chris Shetter with Aztec Shops. Aztec Shops won the bid to operated the cafeteria, entitled "The Dome Cafe," and the bookstore, still called "The University Store." The San Diego State University-based organization was able to outbid other groups since both operations were included, Shetter said. Debbie Meeker, University Store manager, said that most other organizations could bid on one, but not both operations. Currently, the plans for the bookstore andcafe are being approved by the Fire Marshal. "There's a lot of problems getting things approved," Shetter said. She said once approved, it won't take that much time to set-up; most of the setup work was included in the Commons Building construction and only equipment needs to be brought in now. But Shetter was not able to give a definite date bccauseofaconstruction delay in August. Due to a failed inspection, the Commons Building opened two weeks later than planned and university officials have moved the opening of the Bookstore and Cafe to the first of November. Shetter, however, said they are still working for the end of September. "We are still working on that Sept. 28 deadline," she said. To accommodate the move, the University Store at the Los Vallecitos site will be closed Sept 25 for packing. Shetter said the extra day will give Aztec Shops to move the store in three days. : "We can get it done. We' ve done it Map not to scale: Some wails eliminateci for clarify before... itjust happens very quickly," Shetter said, adding that she wants to move "without a break in services as much as possible." The new University Store will have "many of the same selections but more," Shetter said. The general book stock will grow, computer services will be extended, and a larger selection of CSUSM imprints will be available. Meeker said the new bookstore will be about three times the size of the current store at the Los Vallecitos site. "I'm very excited about it," said Meeker. "We'll have much more space, plus we'll be on the new campus. "Most people are just anxious to get over there, including us." The Dome Cafe will provide "real healthy" and a "wide-variety of food," according to Shetter. She said that Aztec Shops based the new cafe on Paradise Bakery, a cafe in San Diego, and will include a bakery, soups and sandwiches. Included in theinitial plans is Pizza Hut opening with the Dome Cafe. Shetter said the long-term plans will offer a wide variety of commercial services. "We'll bring more and more in as more students come in." jA.G Edwards & Sons, Inc.

Argubright said that the hired staff is all older than 18 years of age and everyone takes part in a training program which includes CPR and first aid. The club at Bradley Park, 1535 Linda Vista Drive, is on the corner of Rancho Santa Fe and Linda Vista Drive. Their number is 744-3742.

Welcome to CSU, San Marcos. It really "belongs" to several constituencies of owners, especially students. We have had an incredible two years since the first students showed up at our "shopping center" temporary campus on Los C .s,u.SM m Public campus hard to travel to for students who rely on busing system With the opening of the 20th campus in the CaliforniaStateUniversity system, we expected some minor glitches. Students shrugged disappointingly when pay phones didn't work. Stomachs grumbled when food services stopped at 2 p.m. on Monday. But we sort of expected these kinds of problems. Within days the phones were on line and food service hours extended. There is one major glitch, however, that CSUSM should have foreseen more clearly and taken great pains to avoid. Currently, there exists no form of Public transportation which services the university. I found this piece of information out last week while my wife used the family vehicle for work. Desperately I searched after classes for a way to reach the North County Transit District's bus lines so I too could fulfill my public duty and make it to work on time. If not for the kindness of one CSUSM student I would have been stranded at the beautiful new campus long after I was scheduled to clock in at my job. According to Student Services, North County Transit District doesn't plan on including the university in its bus routes until 1994. Public accessibility through buses exists at all other taxpayer-supported instituticmsrnNorth County during their operating hours. Using NCTD we can reach the Department of Motor Vehicles, the county courthouses, city halls for all North County cities, the local prison, most city and county parks, the Social Security LARRY PIONEER BOISJOLÌE C O L U M N 1S T Administration and all public schools K through 12 through Junior College. The nearest bust stop to CSUSM rests nearly two miles away. In order to reach that stop, students must traverse the treacherous stretch of Twin Oaks Valley Road bridge that crosses Highway 78 and frequently bottlenecks with severe traffic. Environmentally speaking, CSUSM encourages its students to contribute to environmental decay by forcing them to drive their own individual automobiles. In this age of environmental awareness, it should take extra efforts to find less damaging alternatives for its students. Since school schedules vary so drastically between each student, finding a carpool partner is about as difficult as finding the letter "t" in the word "Mississippi." All professors require that their students attend classes on a regular basis. Some even mandate a doctor's excuse for those unable to attend class. By having no vein of public transportation connecting CSUSM to the community, the old excuse "my car broke down" becomes a valid excuse for non-attendance. NCTD claims that it will currently not be able to extend its lines due to budgetary problems. Servicing CSUSM is simply not a priority at this time. Because NCTD is supported by taxpayer dollars, servicing CSUSM is more than apriority, it is a basic responsibility. CSUSM must be publicly accessible to its investors which include both students and the community-at-large. I encourage all students, administration and faculty to write NCTD a letter expressing public transportation concerns with regard to the university. In the meantime, CSUSM will run some shuttles to the Los Vallecitos site. From there public transpOTtationcanbeaecessedon Mission Ave., a brisk walk away; Unfortunately, these shuttles service students only on demand and within certain hours: The university needs to extend the shuttle to an hourly service during the entire span of time in which classes are being taught. Closing the campus to all but automobile pilots discriminates against those who cannot afford a car or have physical disabilities preventing them from driving. For a university which seeks to address the concerns of the 21st century, I expected more regard. BILL STACY CSUSM P RE SID ENT Vallecitos Boulevard. Students have arrives, and students have departed. Our first commencement weld held this past May, and over lOOstudents received their baccalaureate degrees in the shadow of the new buildings being built. An additional 75 students received their teaching credentialling certificates that day. We — the faculty, staff, administration and continuing students — were filled with pride to see those first graduates marching across the stage to receive their diplomas. Those students had been our first pioneers, the first students to walk into something call "Cal State San Marcos" and makeitreal. They joined forces to help create their own student government, and they joined intohelpmaketheFirstlnternationalFestival a resounding success. They took part in the early like of this new university. Students created Pioneer and the Tukut. This year there are nearly twice as many of you as in our first year. But the challenge of the pioneer years belongs to you as much as to the students who have gone before you. There are a few things in place, but there is much to do. You are thefirststudent to claim the permanent campus on the Twin Oaks Valley Road. You are the first students to walk the halls of the Academic Complex, to make the campus come alive with teaching and learning. I encourage you to take your place among your peers in these early years of the founders of CSU, San Marcos and continue to help it grow into a school noted for excellence in teaching, research, and commitment to community service, and for a commitment to fairness and dignity of all persons. We're glad you're here, joining the partnership that is building California State University, San Marcos. We take the special pride of pioneers in welcoming you to the permanent home of CSU, San Marcos. Please join in that spirit and become our partners in the building of the university. �Environment needs to be added to university's Mission Statement PIONEER Cai State San Marcos San Marcos, C A 92096 (619)752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young CONTRIBUTORS: Sheila Cosgrove, Dr. Joel GrinoWs, David Hatch, Roman S.

It gives me great pride to be working in this setting, but it is incomplete. What's missing is the topic of that international summit held this past June at Rio de Janeiro. I propose the inclusion of the environment as a vital, integral and indispensable part of our philosophy and mission. It's notaradical idea.

The campus does indeed represent a symbol of our unique collegiate status. But there is one more codifying symbol of campus unification and student solidarity that has yet to be discussed or created. The campus mascot Many CSUSM students are under the mistaken impression that the symbolic California Mountain Lion, which adorns virtually everything, is our official mascot In reality, the mascot is a symbol that is to be chosen by students in a popular vote. Our current mascot was chosen by the administration and not the students. It is referred to distinctly as the California Mountain Lion and anyone referring to the animal as a "cougar" shall be bound and gagged upon utterance. We recognize that the California Mountain Lion is a regal beast that once roamed the area in great numbers, but we also realize that there is nothing original about using it as mascot.

Las Vegas can serve as a tourist's hub this side of the Mississippi. You can travel to San Francisco, Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon and even here to San Diego. More notably, San Diegans can travel there relatively easy. With all it's glitter and sparkle, Las Vegas can be a little overwhelming and confusing sometimes. To help those who want to travel to the strip — either for the first time of for a return trip — here's a guide to the most notable casinos and hotels. Caesar's Palace If the emperor of Rome came back today, he would be impressed. Caesar's Palace comes complete with five lounges, eight restaurants, the Forum Shops and a casino that would knock the socks off Hermes himself. The service is great and makes everyone feel like a god. The Forum Shops must be seen here. Artistically and architecturally, the avenue of indoor stores make it seem like your walking down Via XX Settemore in downtown Rome. Two focal points are featured with statues of Zeus, Aphrodite, Poseidon and Hermes. It's a R OMAN S . KOENKS/RONEER • The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace place to get lost in, both fantasy and reality. Caesar's Palace's Forum Shops are also a good representation of the rest of the fine establishment One, it is not real: the gods they featured were from Greek mythology and not Roman; one of the shops has a Warner Brother's theme, hardly an ancient icon. The other factor is that Caesar's is expensive. Room rates range from $110 to $175 a night Depending on the day or time of year, rooms can fall down to $65. There's 1,518 rooms here, a smaller number than other hotels leaving more room dedicated to fun and games. Two room minimums on the weekend are not always adhered to here. Their restaurants are quite elegant and you pay for that level of perfection. Jackets and reservations are required at most of the eating establishments. For their buffet, the average price is around $10. Don't let the prices get you down. Even if you stay at another hotel, this palace must be added to the trip's list If nothing else, just SEE VEGAS/PAGE 15 ftuioK Winning is how you look at it PICKS Most expensive: Caesar's Palace, Tropicana Least Expensive: Circus Circus, Excalibur Family Oriented: Excalibur, Circus Circus Adult Oriented: Sands, Riviera Most Crowded: Flamingo Hilton Least Crowded: Aladdin, Frontier Cleanliest: Riviera, Mirage Dirtiest: Circus Circus Best Service: Mirage, Sahara Worst Service: Desert Inn Greatest Buffet: Circus Circus, Stardust Cheapest Tables: Silver City Best Shopping: Caesar's Palace ROMAN S. KOENIG/PIONEER ~ In planning my first trip to Las Vegas, I had a lot of ideas in my head about what my weekend vacation there would be like. I had glorious visions of winning the multithousand-dollar jackpot at some slot machine. After reading in the newspaper about a 21year-old college student who had done^ust that the weekend before my excursion, I knew I was destined to be n ext I went to Las Vegas with a one-track mind to win. And win big. However, instead of seeing my picture in the local papers as the next collegiate winner of a big jackpot, I saw my money quickly slip away from myfingersafter accomplishing a short-lived winning streak. Minutes after my partner and I crossed the Nevada border at about 7:30 a.m. on a SEE GAMBLE/PAGE 17 �ATTRACTIONS A-l Casino Slots Located next to the Sahara Hotel, antique and modern slot machines from the 1920s to the present are on display and for sale.

In addition to an unusual musical score, "Enter the Night" uses a live orchestra combined with digitized studio sound played over an all-new quadraphonic sound system. The performance is almost flawless. It would seem that these dancers and singers have been doing this for decades, not only a mere year and a half. Dance numbers, created by choreographer Bill Guske, are so complex the Stardust had to offer free classes to help local dancers acquire the skills needed for the show. That extra work paid off as the performers go from rock to tap without glitches. What is also amazing to see move without error is the massive sets.

Caesar's Palace is set low to the ground and spread over a large amount of land; in other words, prepare to do some walking once inside. Excalibur The Camelot of Las Vegas stands tall at the south entrance of the strip. Outside, it is a mix of modern architecture and medieval grandeur. Inside, the only thing that mixes is fun and more fun. More hectic and confusing than Caesar's Palace, Excalibur is also more entertaining for the whole family. There are more childrenoriented games (and not just the arcade) a carnival, small-stage kids shows and even jugglers can be found strolling around. The jugglers are an interesting touch at Excalibur. At every hotel and casino, the staff is dressed according to the theme, thus adding to the atmosphere. At Excalibur, however, they go one step further and add costumed people to more strongly emphasize the medieval setting. Jugglers, comics, characters and knights mingle in with the guests. The architecture here is also fascinating. Some compare it to Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle. At the Magical Kingdom, the castle has its limits; at Excalibur, however, there seems to be not restrictions on how far ; the walls of Camelot will stretch. Getting lost here is easier that in any other casino or hotel.

Excalibur is accented with a show similar to that of Medieval Times in Buena Park. That comparison is not a criticism, but just other reason why you see King Arthur's Tournament ($24,95). Or for the more thrifty, there's the Wonderful World of Horses at $5.95 a ticket! An adventure awaits you at Excalibur. Mirage Standing tall in the middle of the strip as the road bend slightly to the east before continuing up north, the Mirage is a unique mixture of fantasy and fun. Unlike the two previously mentioned casinos or most of the other establishments or the strip, Mirage has not defirfite theme, although a tropical theme is most prevalent.

One of the most notable characteristics of this casino is that there are actual walkways leading from one end to the other. Instead of having to wonder in and out of slot machine aisle or past card players, wide and distinct pathways make traveling from one attraction to the next a little bit e asier—on the players as well, who don' t have to worry about people bumping them.

As the most notable casinos are reviewed, this is the first to get mixed reviews. Circus Circus is almost totally geared to children. There's a midway full of carnival games and a great view of the on-going circus acts. Circus Circus also has one of the best breakfast buffets at $2.29 for 45 items. The dinner is still less than $4. But the down side of Circus Circus is its claustrophobic building with ceilings lower than expected and a look of an old, run down building. It is also one of the most crowded places on the Strip. Finding a slot machine to Quick roundup • Desert Inn is liberal in its games, but lacks style and pizazz. Straight-forward gambling here with no Mils attached. • Stardust is one of the easiest to get around in. Set horizontally on the strip, a pathway travels from one end to the other, with several offshoot, but not enough to get lost in. • Riviera also lacks a theme but makes up with b ight lights and lots of dazzle. The video poker games are a lot more liberal that the actual tables. • Silver City is the only place to find dollar tables. Beginners would want to start here before moving onto the higher tables. Silver City is a casino only; not hotel here. • The staff at Frontier is on strike, dissatisfied with the cancellation of their benefits and a cut in wages. It's easier to go across the street or next door than it is to crosi the picket line. • Flamingo Hilton tops the list as the most crowded. At Circus Circus, i t's hard to find a place to play; At the Hilton, it's hard to find a place to breathe. The floor layout is cramped and the noise is overbearing. • Is in anyone in the bottle?

A Vladimir • Burt Lancon and Tricia Burton �2 ACCENT Ô ~ ~ I H I ^ k IHIH PIOWEEB/WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,1992 Water parks provide wet, wild rides During this summer's blistering heat, Thrill Seekers sought for a method of cooling down with the added bonus ofa high adrenaline rush. Our quest led us to two water parks in Southern California that added a refreshing splash to playing on the edge. Raging Waters, in San Dimas, and Wild Rivers, in Irvine, boast the most thrilling water attractions in the southland. Both water parks abound in water slides guaranteed to quench even the most ardent adventurer's thirst for excitement Because fall and winter months frequently reach temperatures that do not behoove wet and wild adventures, these two water parks are only open until the first week of October. In the meantime, students can drench themselves in the thrill of hurling down a slippery slide into a pool of soothing water. Overall, comparing Wild Rivers to Raging Waters is like comparing Knott's Berry Farm to Magic Mountain. Wild Rivers offers a more tame, less dangerous approach to water sports, while Raging Waters takes more chances with high-level thrills. Thrill Seekers rated the top slide attractions at both water parks. In ascending order they are: Bombay Blasters rider through a series of twists and turns. Wipeout! gives theriderthe sensa-* tion of being flushed town a toilet. Riders can increase their speed by lying on their backs and riding the water into the pool below; ; The Abyss The latest trend in water-sliding is the darkened tube approach. Located at Wild Rivers, The Abyss is the better of the two parks' darkened slides. Riders sit on inner-tubes either one, two or three at a time, and rush down a 650-foot expanse of black tunnel. Each turn comes as a pleasant surprise as sliders rocket through the pitch tunnel. The ride is both long and surprisingly exhilarating. Though the tunnel doesn't appear to be very steep, it propelsridersto exceptional speeds. Raging Waters's version of the same ride, The Dark Hole, doesn't quite live up to its expectations. Periodic openings in the tubes spoil the effect of sliding in complete darkness. Located at WildRivers, this seemingly meek slide is anything but tame.

The side tubes let sliders careen vertically through the twists before approaching the plunge. Thrill Seekers recommends the side tubes for the added sensation of centriftigal effect during high-speed turns. Thunder Rapids Wipeout! Also located at Wild Rivers, this The Bermuda Triangle vivacious ride adds some new twists to water slide conventionality. Riders position themselves at die top of the slide in a sitting position. The slide operator then releases 200 gallons of water which propel the DARLA BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Thrill seekers travel down a water slide to quencth their thirstforadventure. Rising several stories above the ground at Raging Waters, the three tubes of The Bermuda Triangle loom menacingly above the riders. The center tube is a straight run to the water down below, while the two side Raging Waters's newest attraction places six riders on one rubber raft. The raft traverses a series of steep, twistingbanks whichfrequentlyplace sliders in vertical positions. 'What makes Thunder Rapids a superior ride is the chance of taking the plunge simultaneously with other thrillseekers. Through clever positioning,riderscan turn the raft around to accommodate the series of twists as the come. Dropout Even the most stout of constitution might not even attempt this menacing plunge at Raging Waters. Rising seven stories above the ground, this slide represents the ultimate in thrillseeking. The slide has shallow sides and drops straightdown to a runway hundreds of feet below. Riders don't even touch the slide until after a good thirty-foot drop. There is nothing tame or seemingly safeabout theride.Persons with weak hearts or stomachs should not even attempt this menacing plunge. Thrill Seekers compares the thrill of the drop to bungee jumping in its adrenaline rush. Sliders (particularly males) are advised to cross their legs since the introduction of water in the runway at the slide's bottom can impact the groin area. Overall, Raging Waters offers more thrilling rides. Unfortunately, the most dangerous ride is the freeway trek to get there. The two-hour drive spans some of the most dangerous freeways L.A. has to offer. Raging Waters also has an expensive price tag of $18.95 for adults. WildRivers is more tame but much closer. Located only an hourfromthe North County, drivers don't have messy traffic to content with. The price is $15.95, three dollars cheaper than Raging Waters. �C alendar Music Acoustic Mike Open J am: At Bubba's Restaurant, Escondido, on Thursdays from 7 to 10 p.. 747-5330 Bluesage Monday: Every Monday at 7 p.m. at the Del Dios Country Store, Escondido. 745-2733 Blues & Jazz Open Mike: Every Monday 17:30 p.m. at the Metaphor Coffee House, Escondido. 4849-8890 Country Pride: Performs Sundays at 6 and 9 p.m. at the Del Dios Country Store, Escondido. 745-2733 C.W.

Moonlight moving up to the big time with 'A Chorus Line' The opening of "A Chorus Line" on S ept. 9 a t t he m oonlight Amphitheatre marks the theater's growing commitment to produce newer shows. For the past three season, the Moonlight, which produces an outdoor summer season and an indoor winter season, has introduced its audience to such shows as "Into the Woods" and "Evita" in the summer; and 4<Little Shop of Horrors," "Joseph and the A mazing T echnicolor Dreamcoat" and "Les Dangereuses" in the winter. The mixing of newer shows with older fare has proven to be a successful recipe for die theater. Attendance records have been broken whenever a newer show is produced, and response from critics has been positive. The venture of producing newer shows has also drawn an overwhelming response from performers. Each year, the number of actors seen by the directors has increased. "We feel that although we serve a family audience, artistically we need to bring newer shows to our stages. We need to keep challenging our company " said Kathy Brombacher, artistic director. Audience polls passed out last season helped Brombacher make the decision to keep producing newer shows, and the survey put "A Chorus Line" on this season's line-up. "People are interested in seeing the big successful Broadway shows that they've heard about, like4 A Chorus Line'," Brombacher said. "The audience has frequently heard the soundtracksofthesemusicals because they are so popular." Although "A Chorus Line" was the most requested musical on last season's audience polls, there are manyrisksand challenges in producing the show. Brombacher cites casting, choreography details, lighting design and orchestration as some of the challenges that will have to be surmounted. Another factor the Moonlight considered in producing44AChorus Line" is that it deals with discussion of modem sexuality and occasionally uses adult language.

Budweiser Cup races into Mission Bay Sept. 18-20 The roar of thunder and the speed of lightning of unlimited hydroplane racing returns to San Diego, SepL 18 to 22 for the 1992 'Budweiser Cup at Mission Bay.* Unlimited hydroplanes, better known as "Thunderboats," are the world's fastest boats, reaching speeds in excess of 210 miles per hour. San Diego, with the world record lap speed of 168.128 m.p.h. set in 1990, is considered the premier race site in the world. San Diego's course, between Fiesta Island, Ski Beach and Crown Point, produces record speeds because it was designed specifically for world-class racing when mud flaps were dredged to build Mission Bay Park. Unlimited hydroplanes have raced on Mission Bay since the park was completed in 1964. This year, more than 150,000 fans from the southwest United States are expected to attend the race, making it the largest annual event in San Diego and one of the largest events in California. San Diego is the only location in the southwest where unlimited hydroplanes race. In addition to the races, activities throughout the three-day festival include water ski shows, inflatable boat races, aerobatic shows, Thundertub races, jet ski exhibitions and model hydroplane races. Several unique displays and exhibits also provide a variety of entertainment for spectators. Tickets to the "Budweiser Cup on Mission Bay" are available at any TicketMaster outlet or from Thunderboats Unlimited by call 268-1250. Three-day general admission is $10 in advance.

"With the North County Press Club, we're competing with the Blade Citizen and Times Advocate, professional daily newspapers." Pioneer has also entered the San Diego Press Club's competition; awards have not been announced y et The CSUSM newspaper is ranked as the top weekly college publication by the California Intercollegiate Press Association, winning 17 awards including overall sweepstakes. University closes for Mission Statement Day ANITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/ PIONEER Cal State San Marcos President Bill Stacy has directed that all classes be cancelled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow so that the entire university community may participate in Mission Statement Day, to be conducted in the Founders' Plaza. Margeret Wilkerson, chairwoman of African American Studies at UC Berkeley, will make akeynote address the first hour. The remaining two hours will include breakout discussions and lunch. I t's too late to reserve a box lunch; however, bring your own and join the group meetings. The Mission Statement is this university's "blueprint of what we thought an academic community should be and what we thought should be the environment in which an academic community gathered," said Stacy in his preliminary announcement to faculty and staff about statement day. The Mission Statement was originally written by 12 Founding Faculty and has been a guide in the launching of the new North County university, has helped give it "academic direction" and assisted in faculty selection, according to Stacy's announcement. Dr. Richard Millman, academic vice president, said recommendations by faculty convinced Stacy that it was important enough to take three hours off from the school day. "The Mission Statement is a vision for the school for the future . .. an excellent document . ..but not unchangeable," Millman said. However, not everyone agrees "on what some of the words mean," he said. A group of four faculty members — Dr. Patty Seleski and Dr. Leslie Z omalt, H istory, D r. C arolyn Mahoney, Math, and Dr. Don Funes, Arts and Sciences—went to the Lilly Endowment Workshop on the Liberal Arts in Colorado this past June. They all agreed that they all disagreed about what the Mission Statement meant. Each had his or her own interpretation. Because of this disagreement, Mission Statement Day was planned and it was decided to include the whole university population. Attendees will be asked to read the statement and discuss it, help to interpret it, and come up with why the think the university is or is not living up to its stated goals. " It's not just a piece of paper on President Stacy's wall," said Laura Mitchell, Associated Students president. "There will be freshmen and sophomores in 1994-95, with a general education curriculum to be set up," she said, adding the statement must speak to them as well. "I hope that Mission Statement Day does become an annual event where we can discuss ways we might become more diverse as our school student population becomes more diverse," Mitchell said. Mitchell said that she looked forward to the day that the university following the Mission Statement, would exhibit "acceptance of different peoples with whom we live, study and work," and eventually the university community would come to "love each other in all our diversity." Mitchell gave an example of one of the items which might come up for consideration some day, the fact that this is a "dry" campus. She hoped that it would stay that way even after sororities and fraternities came to CSUSM. There was a letter i nihe S ept 9 edition of Pioneer which spçk^: to another topic, theecotogft^emrcronment The writer asked that a^strong declaration be made addressing that issue. * -t&jfz * " ... the idea of preservingifie environment as CSU San Marcos can best be described as good intènGons, but lacking â conscious d irection,'^ wrote Ed Lim in the publishedletter. Another possible concern of the student body mightbe the presence of a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) unit on campus. Some colleges and universities have closed this scholarship program to their students due to the "open discriminatory practices of the government" m sùch areas as homosexuality, Mitchell said. "There is talk of doing something ^ (in conjunction) with San:, Diegp State," in the ROTC program, she said. She believes that this is another topic in which the whole student body should involve itself. Among the statement items, w e see addressed the fact thatÇSUSM "offers excellence in undergraduate and graduate education to ^ diverse citizenry"and it"promotesacottegial * relationship between students and faculty." The statement recognizes the school's "special role in the North San Diego County area" and "endorses an international perspective that addresses the global community in its distinctive social," political and economic terms." Finally, it aims "to instill in its students enthusiasm and curiosity, creativity and originality, healthy skepticism and continuing inquiry." These goals are all to be found in the Mission Statement for CSUSM.

Education was a lifelong endeavor which played an important function in hissystem and was vital in determining where individualsfellon the ladder of social stratification. To be a garbage man, for instance, one might need a primary education only. Governmental leaders (the tqp of Plato's social ladder) would require a minimum of thirty years of education. Children were trained for careers as soon as their aptitudes could be measured. Education for Plato was a light illuminating and drowning out all of society's problems. Today and in the future, Plata's observations and ideas have become more pertinent than ever. With technology moving at supersonic speed, those societies able to keep and set the pace of iimovation will remain or become economic superpowers. Only through education may this pace of innovation be attained. Those nations unable to keep up will sink to Third World economic status in the course of a decade. Countries like Japan and Germany recognize the vital linkage of education and business and have thus molded their systems of education to train students for careers. If the U.S. hopes to remain a competitive economic force by the middle of the next century, it must view education in the same manner and mold it to suit the quickly changing needs of the technological marketplace. Cuirently, the weakest link in the U.S. public educational chain is, unfortunately, the first. Our K-12 system of education lacks discipline and diversity. It is a wasteful program where duplicative knowledge is taught throughout all LARRY BOISJOLIE PIONEER COLUMNIST grade levels, thereby diminishing student interest Only 71 to 72 percent of students make it through high school without dropping o ut Even more frightening is that 13 percent of 17-yearolds are functionally illiterate. Unable to fill out a simple application form, this faction of the population will be lucky to find jobs in the local McDonalds. Public education in this country is becoming a "depress story" rather than a "success story." Private schools fare better in their goal of educating with heavier discipline and a competitive edge. For instance, I attended a Catholic school from third through sixth grade and received and retained knowledge that many sophomores in the local public high school hadn't attained yet (even more surprising is the fact that I was taught by blood-thirsty monster nuns rather than "caring professionals"). The problems now facing primary public education are likely to escalate. As overall health continues to improve, people live longer, and the birth rate remains at a below-replacementlevel rate, the number of senior citizens with litde interest in public education will escalate to 25 percent. Since seniors are among the demographic groups most likely to be found in election booths, education will become more and more economically imperilled as educational bond issues continually fail. The American Association of Retired People (AARP) will continue to lobby federal, state and local legislatures for their own special interests. As a result a smaller slice of the budgetary pie will be doled out to public schools. In order to offset economic problems and create a breed of student more suited for the world of work, education must become more privatized. We recently saw the larval stages education privatization in California with a suggested initiative. A proposed November proposition asked voters to establish a school voucher system where families can access state monies to send their children to private schools. Though it won'tbeon November's ticket, such a measure, and many more like it throughout the nation, is bound to inevitably pass. As a result, public education will be forced to tighten its belts and work harder to beat out private competition. Private schools will spring up in virtually every community, making them almostasaccessibleaspublic institutions. Since they will be run by private corporations, such schools will more than likely be better able to train its students for the working force. Investing businesses will have direct input into thç educational system, communicating its needs directly to those organizations. As society becomes more technological, reeducation will be vital to maintaining a productive and competitive work force. As a result, businesses and institutions of higher education must work together to create a curriculum reflective of the working world and malleable enough to retrain and educate individual workers six or seven times over. Mentorship programs will arise between universities and businesses to strengthen the bond between the two institutions. A mentorship program would link each individual student with a community leader or businessperson. A student studying molecular chemistry, for instance, might be assigned a professional biochemist to observe and help out with occupational duties. Through such programs, universities may learn directly from businesses hQw to mold their curriculums. Students, conversely, will be plugged into a valuable web of occupational resources and will see first-hand what responsibilities are required of them in the working place. I see businesses and universities of the future developing alternative curriculums designed specifically to re-educate and retrain members of the work force. Perhaps individual schools will arise to meet the retraining needs ofgraduate students. It is truly doubtful that this society in 50,100 or even 200 years will realize the potential of a completely educatedPlatonic society. However, with the help of private business, human perseverance and the need to keep up in the technological race, there is hope that we can make steps toward that common good. The U.S. needs to abandon its "live for today" motif and begin operating in terms of the future. If we do not, than countries like Japan and Germany will thrust this nation into a permanent and irreparable Third World economic status. �International Festival's early date leaves little time for student interest PIONEER Cai State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young •• CONTRIBUTORS: Sheila Cosgrove, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Mik James Hamada, David Hatch, Roman S.

A T HOUGHT: "The way I see it, a man should be judged not by his past, but by his sense of style. The way he handles himself. Grace under presure." . THE PENGUIN, i n 'Batman Adventures' In just a few weeks, Cal State San Marcos will come alive with the beat of the H ako Drummers, the aroma of Spanish cuisines, and cultural crafts from around the world. I t's time for the second International Festival. Already? Yes.Themulti-culturalevent,whichattracted a crowd of almost 4,000 people its first year, is O ct 4 here on campus. And campus officials plan on having a much larger party—more craft vendors, a third musical stage, a children's corridor and a technology fair added on to what was here last year. But something is still missing from the 1992 International Festival: student interest. Don't get the wrong impression. This isn't going to be one of those editorials bashing poor studentinvolvementandhighapathy. It'sinterest we're discussing now, not necessarily involve* m ent The problem stems from the festival date being moved up almost an entire month. Last year, the fair was O ct 27. Moving it up to O ct 4 makes it too close to the beginning of the school semester, hindering several factors. One is student participation. This event is not an easy task. In 1991, students were involved in a number of planning sessions — some groups even organized events on their own. But those students had been attending Cal to adequately adjust to the new setting of this university. Then more students could participate in more planning activities. In 1991, Pioneer published five editions before the International Festival — including an eight-page special section dedicated exclusively, to the event. But with only enough time for two issues, this campus newspaper falls prey to the same dellima previously explained: theFestival comes too quickly, not giving enough time to STAFF EDITORIAL truly get involved.

The financial aspect of collegiate career is no different. Fees, Tuition, Books and other expenses affect a student's ability to achieve the goal, a college degree.

The Soma Gallery is showing two interesting and delightful exhibits. Continuing through O ct 4 , the Gamer Tullis Monotype Survey makes a stop on its national tour. The Monotype works, mostly untitled, show that pencil and paint do not have to conform to the boundaries of forms and figures. Charles Arnoldi's three pieces of mixed media in varying sizes take on new meaning of color mixtures and compatibility. Lifeless shapes overlap one another, spatula-shaped holes reveal the previous layers of texture and tone. To some, this piece may look like a paint class from kindergartners. To the artistically educated, it looks about $1,200 plus the frame. Italo Scanga uses the same ideas in overlapping shapes and colors. Instead of using the modular elements of Arnoldi, however, Scanga uses the contour and curves of a violin, a shoe and a sloth to add contrast to this 1985 art work. Lisa Yuskavage goes several steps further and uses the curved form of a woman in two untitled pieces. The same form is rendered differently: one is hot with the vibrant red tones; the other cool with subtle, more detailed blue hues. David Lasry uses the same comparison with two recent works. Using the same outline, he changes colors and patterns to give different feeling and meaning to the respective monotype. The monotype is sharply contrasted with Martin Beck's ^Graphite Monotype," a four-piece collection. He uses the gray shade of graphite in square patterns on a black background. He further highlights his work by outlining the shapes in red. Yet David Row's monotypes stand out in the exhibit as bold, striking works. Using gold and black, he creates a stark backdrop to life. The second exhibit being featured at the Soma Gallery is a region-wide campaign of Installations. "In/Site 9 2" intends to be a diverse and rich interplay of cultural perspective and individual voices that celebrate the arts commu~ nity. All of the participants are utilizing their missions and to the spirit of cooperation this event seeks to foster. More than 20 art galleries throughout San Diego and Tijuana are participating in this event, and locally, the Palomar College Boehm Gallery. Brent Riggs' "The Spirit of Loveliness in Youth" is on display at the Gaslamp gallery. His installation uses more than visual senses in a two-dimensional picture. He adds space and sound to his work. His installation is a long room. On one side is a bow and dangerous-looking arrow; a small motorized machine draws the bow and then retracts only to draw again. On the other side is an artificial, heartshaped lung. It breathes in motion with the bow and arrow, its sounds of life echoing throughout the room. It is a remarkable example of love and life.

That's what the Gaslamp Quarter is all a bout Even though the medium of the art changes — • music, dining, dancing, paintings and evening romancing — art flows throughout the Historic Heart of San Diego. Sprawling more than 16 city blocks in downtown San Diego, the Gaslamp not only preserves the history of the city, but the Quarter preserves the vibrant fun anc excitement of San Diego's eccentric past. The area boasts 31 restaurants, ranging from the Irish flavors of Reidy's O'NeiTs, t o the Cajun grill at the Bayou Bar and Grill, from Greek to Italian and back to Argentinean and Japanese. Entertainment roars at an additional 14 nightclubs. Brewski's advertises reggae, Latin blares out of Club Sevilla, and rock, jazz and blues can be heard on just about any corner. Entertainment can take on more than just live music: foot-stomping dances rage at Buffalo J oe's; in contrast, quiet games of chess are played on the tables at a quaint restaurant Add in an art gallery and an antique store in between everything else, and you have a downtown the way it ought to be.

That doesn't stop the Gaslamp Theater from telling a story of a mother and daughter, a production that goes further than just the story line. Molly and Maze" runs through O ct 25 at the Hahn Cosmopolitan Theatre located in the Gaslamp Quarter. This delightful comedy portrays mother and daughter exploring the bonds that hold the two together and the challenge of letting go. Actress and comedienne Lotus Weinstock stars in "Molly and Maze," a play she wrote. Weinstock describes her work as a loving and bittersweet story of a mother who questions her ability to make a difference — and her daughter's efforts to help restore her energy and inspiration. Weinstock is a veteran to her work. In comedy clubs and theaters around the country, Weinstock's brand of comedy has been a major hit. She has also been featured in television shows such as "St. Elsewhere" and "L.A. Law." In the play, the daughter is played by Weinstock's daughter, making the production an even greater success. Lili Haydn rounds out the two-person cast. Haydn shares the theatrical talents of her mother and adds some musical elements of her own. She has been featured in " It's A Living," "Hart to Hart" and " St Elsewhere" on television; her film credits include Rodney Dangerfield's daughter in "Easy Money."

Sigourney Weaver played Ripley for the last time in the disappointingly edited "Alien3" while Mel Gibson and Danny Glover proved they still pack a dangerous wallop in "Lethal Weapon 3." One movie that surprised nobody was Tim Burton' s "Batman Returns After the first triumphant film in 1989, "Batman Returns" was a guaranteed success. But in this updated version of the Dark noir Knight, many of us forget the flip side of the legendary crime fighter from the circa 1960s television show "Batman." Although drastically different in tone and approach, those classic TV clips still garner a wondrous appeal. America's fascination with Batman is understandable if you look at what the caped crusader represents. He's like a wealthy Bernard Getz on steroids who uses his limitless resources to take a bite out of crime. W hat's more, Batman is more human than most other film superheroes. His humanity and pain give the audience reason to sit back and cheer for the good guys. The television series, starring Adam West as the dark knight, all but ignored the hero's pain. The series sought to satirize the American public's perception of the c omic book g enre. W ith i ts c artoonesque " pows" and "whammos," "Batman" made the armchair warrior laugh as each punch was landed. Bruce Wayne epitomized the stereotypical good guy with his incessant intolerance for evil and his relentless drive to thwart it. The makers of the series played up his seriousness for extreme comic relief. We knew that with the caped crusader, all was safe in Gotham City. Timothy Burton's films played more on the hero's pain than his goodness. Michael Keaton does a tremendous job relaying the deeprooted always-present torments which face Batman. His cause is no laughing matter. The viewer almost feels tormented by his pain. Although the series wrung as many laughs from the heroes as possible, it was the villains that gave the most guffaws. Ceasar Romero's Joker and Burgess Meredith's Penguin exaggerated their evil with comic precision. Their enterprise in doing away with Batman was so ridiculous, it kept us hanging for another week. The Batman films, however, took a different approach. Burton creates a dialectic with his villains. He shows us how a similar traumatic past can yield diametrically opposed results. The villains of Batman are as bent on evil doing as the hero is on performing good deeds. The Penguin in "Batman Returns" illustrates this concept. As a child, the hideous human was abandoned by his wealthy parents. The young Bruce Wayne also had wealthy parents who were taken from him while he was a boy. Burton also gives his villains equal time as his hero in both films to illustrate that the motivations and actions of the villain are as important as those of the protagonist. Jack Nicholson's Joker remains as the all-time top superhero v illain on t he screen. To accommodate for the lack of Jack in the second film, Burton pulled in Danny DeVito as the Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. He even threw in Christopher Walken as a brilliant businessman with a dark side. The second Batman drags with its villainous undertows, leaving less and less time for the hero to parade about in his utility belt and tights. The film lacks the polarized balance of thisfirst,but still is a great joy to watch. If not for P feiffer's Catwoman, "Batman Returns" would have been about as enjoyable as, say, ' The Taxman Returns" or "Ex-husband Returns." Catwoman suggests a darker side to feminism that purrfectly offsets Batman's cool machismo. Batman's toys in the hit television serial were far from fantastic. His gadgets consisted of strings and ropes and boomerangs and smoke bombs. They weren't especially spectacular but we loved to see Batman suddenly realize he had a rope to pull him from a hanging cliff. Of course the old Batmobile is a classic car that fairly closely resembles the comic book creation. With fire blazing from its exhaust pipes, it tore up the roads and the imagination of the viewers. The new Batmobile also blazes fire, but is more sleek and vicious in its design. It will be as classic as the old in time. Batman's biggest draw, whether he be on the large or small screen, is his mortality. We know that behind the mask and cape is a person as vulnerable to death as we are. Therein lies his greatest appeal. Batman gets lost in animated bat cave J AY LEIGH/PIONEER After a smash run of "Batman Returns" following the equally successful version of the original Tim Burton movie, Fox Television is attempting to get on the Batmania bandwagon with "Batman: The Animated Series." But after a week running, the caped crusader is having an identity crisis. Batman is stuck between two villains: a young audience and an older audience. And currently, the Dark Knight (based on Warner Brother's movies directed by Burton) doesn't know whom to attack first For the children, the animation is simple and colorful. Where the color appears, the hues are bright and plentiful. The majority of the sets, however, still contain dark tones that make the set eerie and spooky, making it home to bats and other night creatures. The animation may be too simple for the older generations. Detail is nonexistent; there's more detail in a Tom and Jerry cartoon than in the streets of Gotham City. Spectrum Animation Studio, in charge of the animation, could do better. On a positive note, Danny Elfman leads the musical crew. The composer of t he t wo " Batman" m ovies, "Beatlejuice" and "Edward Scissor hands" — not to mention leading Oingo Boingo — keeps the action moving with an upbeat symphony. The action, too, is quick and to the point, lacking depth and meaning. Fighting the bad guys is not exciting.

If s o, p erhaps Palomar College's theatrical cafe can assist you. Serving as the meeting room for Cinema 100, a course concerning the technical aspects of the film, this theatre does not provide sustenance, exactly, but it does offer films comparable to foreign foods in that they have frequently been avoided by individuals who feel uncomfortable abandoning the recognizable f or something alien to them. Why, conventional logic might follow, should a person experiment with sushi, escargo or calamari when he or she knows that a tried-and-true burger will do the trick? Through his filiri class, Richard Peacock, a 25-year veteran instructor at Palomar and author of the forthcoming book entitled The Art of Movie-Making, attempts to eliminate people's reservedness toward "artsy" films. T m trying to show that film is much more than one may have been told or shown/' he said. ' There is more to it than that which comes from Hollywood, and although people may have a taste for those films, perhaps they'll also enjoy, say, a Japanese artist's work, or that of an American independent filmmaker.'' In order to depict the difference between vanguard films and Classical Hollywood Cinema, the latter of which confines its productions to specific stipulations (for examples, CHC typically involves a main character who eventually changes his situation or himself; a perfectly linear narrative; and a packaged closure revealing all outcomes), Peacock presents an inclusive assortment of cinema Comprising such works as "Naked Lunch," "La Femme Nikita" and ' Truly, Madly, Deeply," this collection v isually c oncretizes t he instructor's own explanation of artistic integrity, with which, in the class's first session, he differentiated experimentalism and CHC in terms of food establishments, the former being represented by a fine French restaurant, the latter, by McDonald's. But Peacock understands the irregularity of f ilm p alatability. "There's simply no accounting for individual taste. You can introduce good taste; you can take someone to a French restaurant, but if he doesn't like it, that's essentially t hat" Still, Peacock added that every time he peruses student journals, wherein his pupils record their opinions of the p resentations, h e f inds himself "pleasantly surprised" by their responses. Similarly, many students, initially expecting to be presented with standard cinema, may have been pleasantly surprised by their teacher's selection. Has Peacock, then, tricked his students into engaging in experimentalism? "I d on't know if I 've 'tricked' them,exactly,butldon'tsee myself as doing a service to anybody by showing a string of (commercial films). What would I accomplish by doing that?" Although Peacock hasn't intentionally deceived anyone, "Barton Fink's" Joel and Ethan Coen (director and producer, respectively) indubitably have: by creating for 20th Century Fox a motion picture which self-reSEE FILMS/PAGE 15 Breaking the 'School Ties' that bind While students at Cal State San Marcos are still discovering the ties that bind the campus community together, the characters in "School Ties" are destroying them with prejudice. David Green is recruited from his hometown in Pennsylvania to be a star quarterback at an elite New England prep school. After he forms friendships withotherclassmates who hail from families of wealth and renown, these bonds are tested when Greene's religious identity is revealed. He and his classmates are forced to consider their values and loyalties as they strive to live up to their heritage while denying that of another. In "School Ties," David Green, played by Brendan Fraser, attempts to deny and hide his Jewish faith, but is ultimately confronted with his friends' prejudice. His dilemma: How does it feel to be an outsider, and what price will an outsider pay to belong. "At what price to yourself are you willing to compromise who you are, In 'School Ties,' students attending St. Matthew's Academy in 1955 include clockwise fromwhat you are and what you stand for center, Brendan Fraser, Randall Batinkoff, Andrew Lowery, Anthony Rapp, Chris 0'Donnell, Ben Affleck, Cole Hauser and Matt Daomn.

But besides the absence of creativity in the good guy/bad guy confrontations, Batman also is missing his gadgets. Sure, there are some tacks and the Batarang, but the one weapon Batman uses most is his grappling hook. Wow; big deal. In animation, the writers are able to do things that you can't do in real life — or certainly make it look easier. Despite this exciting medium, the writers don't use their creative license and generate more batgadgets. In Tim Burton's movies, there was the Batmobile, the Batplane, the Batboat, the Batarang, Ninja Wheels, the Gauntlet, a spear gun, the Joker's Quill and Acid Rower. In F ox's version, all you see is a limited amount of the creative arsenal and a lot of regular guns. The characters themselves are twodimensional. Batman is a square figure in drawing and actions. The only problem is you don' t know where this stereotyped character's corners start or end. Little time is spent to develop the lead character. This negative note can be perceived as a positive one. After all, the Dark Knight is elusive. But the criminals fall victim to the same ailment. The Joker, Penguin and the smorgasbord of other miscellaneous characters are left undeveloped. Are they worthy opponents or just another element in the plot where everyone lives happily ever after? We may never find out. Despite its early faults, "Batman: the Animated Series" may live up to its name one day. For now, the young generation can enjoy it, since they don't see the faults as critically as those who are educated in the science of Batology.

Jaffe. "'School Ties' is not just about prejudice against Jews," producer Sherry Lansing said. "It shows how irrational prejudice is — that it is based on nothing more than fear and that we must educate people not to be afraid of the unknown. " I hope the film will make people more tolerant of any minority group. "'School Ties' shows that you must never, ever deny what or who you are," Landsing continues. " It's not worth it to lose your identity in order tobeacceptedintoagroup. Youcan't allow a lie of omission. That means learning t o a ccept yourself and learning that you have to be your own individual." Fraser found that his experience as a student at Upper Canada College Preparatory S chool—a school based on the English public school model — provided useful background for his role. "Filming on the Middlesex School campus brought back strong memories of jackets and ties, trees and lush green playing fields and anxieties over a cademia — t he e mphasis on achievement and the weightiness of the workload," Fraser said. "And there were other directions in which you were pulled just as strongly: the friends you made so quickly, the relationships that bonded in a matter of days and could last for years. "Something I shared with the character of David Greene was that I was willing to do anything to b e in* eluded in a group, even if it meant BRENDAN FRASER denying myself and who I was. And I think that, in some shape or form, is a part of all of us. "Fortunately, David realizes what he's done. He comes out of his experience as a much stronger person." Making a film dealing with antiSemitism has long been a goal of Jaffe and Lansing, who formed J affeLansing Productions in 1982. While many would like to believe that antiSemitism no longerexists in the world, the producers say this kind of prejudice remains something that is very much with us every day. "Pretending hatreds d on't exist in this country is to deny people the opportunity to make things better," remarks screenwriter Dick Wolf. �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1 992 /PIONÉER — — f CALENDAR/CONTINUED ^ ^ M i — 8025 Romeo & Juliet: The Naked Shakespeare Company performs this classic tragedy through Sept. 27 at the Zoro Gardens, Balboa Park.

With the move to the permanent campus site, the total enrollment fell just shy of the projected 2,000 students. According to the Sept 9 Student Enrollment Profile, 71 percent of the entire student population is female. This proportion parallels past semesters at the campus where women constituted almost three-quarters of the total population. • II • The percentage tops national averages, which place female enrollment just slightly above male CSU SAN MARCOS NEW ERA mm enrollment with a 55 percent average. The average age of the CSUSM also remains high. With 825 student falling between the ages of 26 to 39, the mean age sits at around 29. Though the campus has an unusually high number of women and older students, minority population at CSUSM remains low. Only 48 of the 1,914 students at the university are of African American descent. Hispanics comprise the most represented minority with 9.4 percent of the population. American Indians are the least represented ethnic group, forming only 1 percent of the total population. Although the population did not reach the expected number, 47 percent are new to CSUSM. This figure should increase dramatically when CSUSM accepts freshmen in 1995.

"What I really enjoy about this job is that I started out in life wanting to be afictionwriter," Gregory told a forum of Cal State San Marcos students last week, "but I could not make up anything." But her interest offictionblended well with her first assignment for ABC News in 1974.She was covering the trial involving Karen Ann Whitland, who rested in a coma due to an overdose of tranquilizers. "The issue then, and still an issue in the news now, was whether her parents can remove the respirator (that kept her alive)," Gregory said. "After a short trial, her parents won therightto remove the machine. All the experts in the courtroom testified if they took the machine away, that woman would die. "Well, they took the machine away and she survived. She did not improve, but she survived for almost 10 years — which was unexpected, unheard of and showed that the truth is very frequently more stranger than fiction." Although Gregory' s introduction to the world ofjournalism had somefictionalcharacteristics, she currently deals with the straight facts of politics. Now as the Senior Correspondent for ABC News, Gregory covers the White House. Gregory spends most of her time working on "Day of Air Stories," or. assignments about daily news for the 6:30 p.m. news edition. "A Day of Air Story is pretty simple to do," Gregory said. "I can write my script, I can submit my information and the script can be S mk.

Four other people were also injured. According to investigators, CSUSM student Angela Renee Limina, 20, ran a red light on Highway 101 at Via De La Valle and hit a Jeep carrying four Navy SEAL members. Limina was pulled from he Nissan 30QZX by rescue crew, but died on the scene. Medical investigators also pronounced two SEALS dead at the scene. The two remaining SEALS and Limina's passenger, Michael Brooks of Carlsbad, were transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla and Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, respectively. Investigators said the driver of theJeep was not under the influence during the accident; an authopsy will determine whether Limina was intoxicated or not, authorities said.

Elections postponed Associated Students decides to change dates amid allegations of violating Title 5 LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Student elections originally scheduled for next week will be postponed until Oct 26 and 27. The action, instigated by Associated Student President Laura Mitchell, follows allegations at the Sept 25 A.S.Councilmeetmgthattheelections procedures violated state codes. CSUSM student Rob Christensen alleged that the A.S. Council violated Title 5, the state document regulating operations of student governmental organizations. Christensen cited that the A.S. specifically violated Section 41402 of Title 5 which expresses conditions regarding the posting of ballot infoimation. The mandate requires that ballot information be posted in three public places at least two weeks before the election and be announced in the newspaper published by the student body organization at least two weeks before the election for two consecutive weeks. Christensen asserted that, by not publishing an election announcement in the Sept 22 issue of Pioneer, the A.S. violated Title 5. "This is a ramrod ploy of the A.S. to push the Student Union Fee measure," Christensen said. "(A Student Union) fee is so detrimental to students, they should have every oppor- tunity to review the language and base their votes on the finished stipulations." According to Dr. Ernest Zomalt, vice presidentofStudent Affairs,Title S does not apply in this instance since such a newspaper does not currently exist on campus. Since Pioneer is not published by the A.S. Council, he cited that it is exemptfromthe title stipulations. "One can read Title 5 to provide for considerable flexibility," Zomalt said. Pioneer gained recognition as the "official" campus newspaper in March, 1991,whenCSUSMPresident Bill Stacy formally announced acceptance of the publication by the university. The newspaper also garners budgetary support from the A.S. Council. Currently, no student newspapers in the CSU system are operated directly by A.S. organizations. Zomalt said the issue was.presented to the Chancellor's Office after it was brought up on Sept 25. He said the office stated that no violation of Tide 5 existed. Zomalt also said that Title 5 does not apply in this instance since thé fee measure calls for a capital and not a general student fee. According to Mitchell, the decision to delay the elections had little to do with the alleged Title S conflict She said the ballot was delayed to provide open discussions and forums on the Student Union Fee initiative. 'There would have been no problem with the legality of the elections," said Mitchell. "A delay would be better for opening discussion on the issues." Zomalt said a delay provides more time for students to consider the Student Union Fee measure and concurrently avoids making Title 5 an issue in this election. Measure A calls for the establishment of a fee to provide funding for a $4.6 million Student Union Building. Money to construct a Student Union Building cannot be provided through state ballot initiatives, rather it must come directly from the student population itself. Two previous student elections calling for the establishment of a Student Union Fee were defeated in the past Last spring, a ballot measure narrowly missed the required twothirds majority of student votes. Mitchell attributed the previous loss to unclear ballot language and unacceptable fee conditions. According to Mitchell, the current fee initiative shifts the burden of payment to those students who could take SEE ELECT/PAGE 4 CSU San Marcos yearbook cancelled take a look at it," Pender said.

Student apathy is not new to the yearbook staff. Tukuts from 1991 still remain in boxes, unsold. "We had a few short-lived tradition and it's a shame," Pender said. "The more students we get, the more they don't want to get involved." When the decision came from the university, Tukut hadbeen completed and ready for press. Pender said the 140-page yearbook was built with larger pages and had several more color photographs than it's predecessor. : ....SEETUKUT/PAGE£ �E L EC T C am pu s C alenda r A.S.

The measure calls for a $5 per semester fee for students taking 6.1 or more units in the fall of 1993. Students taking six units or less will pay half the amount of full-time students. Each year thereafter the fee will double in size until it reaches a maximum amount of $20 per semester for full-time students in fall 1995. Fees will be collected only until the $4,612,205 necessary to complete Phase I of the Student Union Building is obtained. "Phase Lof the Student Union will be about the size of the Commons," Mitchell said. She indicated that the building will be able to grow if future generations if students pass a later fee measure. Christensen asserted that the measure "passes the buck" to future students in order to ensure its passage. "People in 1995 will have no voice in paying fees," he said. Also on the ballot are two A.S. positions to be filled. The two slots include a representativefromthe Collegeof Education andPost-Baccalaureate-at-Large. Christensen said if the A.S. did not delay the election, he would have pursued suit against die University Foundation, which oversees the A.S. He said that, by pointing out possible discretions in the A.S. election, he exercises his responsibility as a voter. "Somebody has to be devil's advocate in a situation where government does not abide by the law," Christensen said.

With fall comes the first round of respiratory viruses and eventually true influenza commonly called the "flu." True influenza is a respiratory infection that strikes suddenly with high fever, body aches, frequently severe headaches (especially around the eyes), dry hacking cough and often respiratory symptoms. Most young, heathy adults will be able to recover from the infection without much problem except missing a few days of classes or work. For others who are considered"highrisk," the illness can be very serious with pneumonia and a long recovery being prominent.

The only true contradiction not to receive the vaccine is a serious allergy to eggs because the viruses used to create the vaccine are grown in egg cell-culture. Who should definitely receive the vaccine, i.e. the high-risk groups? They are as follows: • People with chronic lung or heart disease: This includes persons with asthma, which includes many college-age students. • People wit chronic metabolic disease such as diabetes, kidney disease or people who are immunosuppressed. • People older than 60. • People who are capable of transmitting flu to high-risk patients such as: A) Health care workers, including non professionals who work with or provide services to high-risk patients; and B) Persons living in the, same household with high-risk patients. Also, although not considered high-risk, people who provide essential community services should cbnv template vaccination. In my mind this wouldinclude teachers, teachers' aids, preschool teachers, and counselors. Many college-age students work in these areas.

Now, the Tukut—a yearbook which is now being coined as the shortest-lived tradition on campus — lies dead, killed by the lack of student participation. It's pathetic. Some are getting tired of the same words written here, phrases that chastise poor involvement and a shortage of university activities. Tough; until something is done and the problem is corrected, then we're not going to let up. A few say that for a small campus like Cal State San Marcos, the level of participation is a high percentage. Those supporters are quick to point out the 36 percent turn-out for thefirststudent elections. Goodfigures,but outdated.

Their ideas change as actions and events change the world around them. And opinions change. Last year, I wrote about a sensitive subject; it was an editorial that sparked debate and discussion. Now, several months later, I am re-kindling the topic of Gay Rights with a new view on the .subject. In every editorial written within these pages, eitherbymyselforsomeoneelseonPioneer'sstaff, the homosexual lifestyle has nevo: been criticized. Despite how opponents tried to read between lines that were^never drawn, I have debated the way those people want to be treated. I wrote that they should not havethé opportunity for special attention with a Gay Rights Bill. My comparison was between a homosexual's and a vegetarian'srights:they are both a chosen lifestyle that affects only them and a select few close friends and family. But there is a difference. Those people that have decided against eating meat are not being killed for their way of life. I t' s shocking when statistics reveal that the top hate-crime is against lesbians and gays. People are beingridiculed,beaten and even murdered because they choose to lead a homosexual life. Why? How can someone take the life of another human because of an alternative lifestyle? How can people feel threatened by a homosexual when the only difference is how they conduct themselves sexually, an act that is practiced privately hopefully behind closed doors? Why must people be killed for living differently? How can we stop the killing? Maybe the start is a Gay Rights Bill — maybe not I haven't decided y e t On one side, the debate that I wrote about previously, a Gay Rights Bill would give unnecessary special attention to the homosexual community. Yet the fact that people are dying may make the attention extremely special. The realization that there is something very wrong with how people not only work and go to school together, but how Americans live with each other has sparked a flame inside me. The flame has shades of pink and purple, a sign of support for homosexuals'rightto live however they choose to. The fire also burns red, symbolizing a tribute to those who have died from AIDS. I pass on the embers to you, to re-evaluate the plight of the Gay Rights movement. If you don't accept the way of life of gays, lesbians and bisexuals, then at least accept theirrightto live that life.

Train CSU San Marcos now boarding... Slopping at all points of the world — Africa, Japan, India, Mexico and everthing in between — en route to a better understanding of cultural diversity. All aboard! At the second Cal State San Marcos International Festival Sunday, visitors didn't have to travel too far on the small campus. But the music, crafts and food transported everyone around the globe and back, making stops at fascinating and enriching destinations. Before the journey began, however, a proper blessing was in order. That came from Dr. Bill Stacy, CSUSM president, who officially opened the Festival with a welcome in English, Spanish and Japanese. Stacy was joined by Henry Rodriguez, a local American Indian elder who has participated in several CSUSM events; "Uncle Henry" inspired the university to continue its cultural growth. "God gave us this wisdom and the knowledge and you must take care of this," he said, "... and then the Good Earth will take care of you." The world tour began with the final blessing, by CSUSM professor Komla Amoaku. He quickly transported the new university to the continent of Africa—more specifically Ghana, his homeland — and set the fast-paced and vibrant tone of the festival with a song and drum rhythm that has earned him the title of Master Drummer. The Festival took a sharp turn and raced across the globe to Japan as the San Jose Taiko took to the large stage. Back by popular demand, the Asian drummers electrified the growing crowd with a beat that can communicate with everyone. "The drum has a universal language, regardless of race and age," said PJ . Hirabayahi, San Jose Taiko creative director. And the popular performers spoke many L EFT : M ask s h ighligh t t h e C hildren' s C orridor . TOP: A cook t urn s K abob s a t C hin a W arf s e xhibit . BOTTOM: C hildre n l ear n t h e a r t of A frica n d rums . musical dialects at the Festival — including Jazz. "We work on the premise that our music is inspired by traditional Taiko," Hirabayahi said. But because the group's members are local natives, their music is also a "reflection of indigenous folk art," she said. Speaking of Japan, the festival was made possible by CSUSM'sfriendsat Itoman and Company, Ltd. The Japanese trading firm donates $50,000 each year for 10 years to provide permanent financing for the annual festivals. "An endowment of this size will contribute to helping our university in San Marcos meet its international mission," Stacy said in 1990 when the endowment was announced. Just a short trip across the bayfromJapan was the food of China, provided by China Wharf. Their selection of only a few items was outweighed by the large portions of mouth-watering flavors. The barbecued kabobs were packed with beef, shrimp and chicken, mixed with a variety of vegetables. Amoaku was at the driver's seat again as the new children's corridor, located on the Founders' Plaza, came to life. He piloted the festival back to his homeland and presented a hands-on concert of African drums with children as his guest performers. "I don't care what age they are," Amoaku said. "This should be the focus of any festival: the children. We should bring them up with an understanding of a global mankind . . . and art should be a vital part." And art was a destination too. Encompassing the entire Plaza, walls and children-sized buildings proudly displayed the work of students enrolled in schools across the North County. Pictures, painted flags, hand prints, feather bird masks and Hopi Kachina Dolls is only a small sample of what was on display, showing the large diversity of the area's children and their families. Standing out in the collage of decor were masks created mostly by the students in San Marcos S TOR Y A N D P H O T O S B Y J O N A T H A N Y O U N G C ontinue d N ex t P ag e �Continued f ro m P ag e 8 elementary schools. Whether the face pieces were simply painted in a few colors or elaborately decorated with feathers and yarn, the masks served as a perfect road map to the younger generation's world. The International Festival returned home as the Sweet Baby Blues Band set the large stage onfire.Featuring the tantalizing sounds of homegrown music — and even the back-up of CSUSM's John Harris on drums — this blues band rocked the entire Iowa* level of the campus. While still in the states, don's miss the appeal of Louisiana's appetizers at the Cajun Connection. The abundance of southern spices activate the taste buds with a savory zap from the Jambalaya or even the Red Beans and Rice. The world tour came back to San Marcos. Not using the metaphor, people were actually coming and going all day long. Stacy called it a "steady steam." Other sources called it about 6,000 visitors for the day. As the festival train passed by San Marcos again, it picked up a group of students from the San Marcos Elementary Folkloric. The captivating dancers pranced south of the border with the flair and energy of four B ac k b y p opula r d emand , t h e Sa n J os e Taiko. different regions of Mexico. "I love the kids show," Stacy said. "It's just terrific.'* The entire upper plaza was packed with an appreciative audience as the Holkloric dancers performed. Ironically, the only open spot on the plaza was the Founders' Circle: visitors respected the significance of the A*S Andean Ensemble grabbed the reigns and guided the global village to the Andes of South America. Lead by CSUSM professor Don Funes, chairman of the International Festival, these campus performers entertained an equally-large crowd with audience- multi-cultural symbols and left it clear for everyone to see. While in Mexico, the spices of the land were abundant at Taco Pablo's. Promoting a large selection of Spanish dishes, the local restaurant lived up to its reputation of crisp and delicious food.

But the small town of Mobile had something not other location could provide: the USS Alabama, a battleship decommissioned in the 1950s and now serving as a museum and tourist attraction from its permanent mooring in Mobile Bay. Co-producer Peter Macgregory-Scott explains: "We needed a battleship with 16-inch inch guns, but the four Iowa-class ships, including the Missouri (where 'Under Seige' is set), were not available to us. "We did have the Alabama, though, which is a South Dakota-class ship, similar in layout to the Missouri and almost as long. By removing the Alabama's 20mm and 40mm guns and adding some superstructure elements, we were able to make her appear similar to the Missouri." Once thefilmmakerssecured permissionfromthe USS Alabama Battleship Commission to conduct the major renovations necessary to transform the Alabama into the Missouri, production was ready to begin. The crew immediately set about solving the next series of problems: lighting the ship correctly and creating the wind and wave effects. "It appeared to be an enormous undertaking," said coproducer Jack Bernstein. "The largest logistical problem was making the ship appear to be at sea, when in fact, it sits in a bay. But we had absolutely the finest crew and the vision to solve all our problems." Director Andrew Davis recalls thefirsttime he saw the Alabama, surrounded on three sides by the city of Mobile and by piers and bridges. "My first through was "How do we make this ship look like it's in the middle of the Pacific?' I wanted to make the city of Mobile disappear for three months." \ To create the illusion, the design staff, under the leadership of production designer Bill Kenney, built a 100-foot-longbarge,constructeda60-foot high framework along its entire length and suspended black clothfromthat structure. This blackout barge was moved around the Alabama to block outant city buildingsand lights. Similar barges were created for lights and cameras. Used in combination, the barges gave thefilmmakerstremendous flexibility. "It appears as if the film were shot entirely on the high seas," Macgregor-Scott said. While filming on the battleship lent a tremendous amount of realism to the movie, it also posed logistical problems. Hie main deck and the bridge, for example, are separated by six levels. Since both locations are setting for pivotal scenes in the film, it was necessary to transport cameras, lights and sound equipment up and through the Alabama's narrow ladders, hatches and corridors. The crew found getting around on the ship to be not only difficult but treacherous as well. "A battleship is a maze, a jungle," said MacgregorScott. Actually, it's worse than a maze. It's a maze with the lights turned out" The task of creating realistic explosions at "sea' fell to ' SEE SEA/PAGE 15 Seagal dives into newest good-guy role The USS Missouri, the United States Navy's largest and most powerful battleship, has reached the end of her long ad glorious reign. Once a seagoing city teeming with 2,400 Navy personnel, the 9 00-foo t dreadnought is now manned only by a skeleton crew as she crosses the Pacific for the last time, in route to decommission. The peacefulfinalvoyage of sailor « and dreadnought is shattered in the movie "Under Siege." The Missouri will face combat one last time: with the ship's cook leading a sparse and motley crew against two corrupt, lethally obsessed military specialists — William Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones) and Commander Krill (Gray Busey)—. who have stages adiabolical plot to hijack the ship and steal its nuclear arsenal. With the threat of all-out nuclear war and millions of lives at stake, the world holds its breath as three brilliant warriors face off in the dark and stifling corridors of a battleship, surrounded by fathoms of empty Pacific Ocean. When their confrontation is over, the victory will be final — and Casey Ryback, the cook played by Steven tSeagal, has sworn his life to make that victory his own. Seagal'sprevious savvy characters have managed to look good while performing dazzling feats of martial art, staying cool under jhe threats — and b lows—o f urban thugs. "Casey Ryback is different," says Seagal of his latest role. "He doesn't care what he looks like. He's not stylish: he won't even put on a dress uniform when the President Visits his ship." When Seagal left the mean streets of the city to portray an action hero on a ship, he realized that his challenge would be different than it had been in the past -ss* "This story is like a chess game," Seagal said. 'There is afinitearena in which everything in played out; if you move one way, there are so may ways your opponent can respond. I was attracted to the idea that this struggle is mental, physical and spiritual, between a dedicated but private man and two dangerously clever criminals." �M usi c Acoustic Mike Open Jam: At Bubba's Restaurant, Escondido, on Thursdays from 7 to 10 p.. 747-5330 Al Green & Marilyn McCoo: Performs as part of Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay Oct. 11 at 6 and 8:30 p.m. at Humphrey's, Shelter Island.

Danna Swing Quintet: Perform Thursdays from 8 to CONTINUED NEXT PAGE 'Werewolf In London' Immortal compared to Landis' new flick MIK JAMES HAM ADA/PIONEER Cal State San Marcos* Dr. Rene R. Curry, an English professor who specializes in cinema, has stated that a film will generally strive to capture its overall essence within the first few minutes. Accordingly, the first scene of John Landis' Pseudohoiror film "Innocent Blood" should comprise a mass of discordant images, one being a pair of false fangs. For discordance lies at the heart of "Blood," Landis' half-baked attempt at duplicating the brilliance of "An American Werewolf in London" (1981), which marked the director's initial, divergence from mainstream comedy and into horror's domain. Whereasfragmentationworks well in "Werewolf" — in which seemingly unrelated scenes ultimately gravitate toward a unified whole — it creates mere chaos in "Blood," whose indecision over being frightened or funny leads the film to an early cinematic grave. Opening with a scene in which an unclothed Ann Parillaud ("LaFemme Nikita"), who plays the vampire Marie,realizes her blood-thirst, views a mafioso through her window, and thinks, "What about... Italian?" "Innocent Blood" immediately aligns itselfwith "Werewolf through Landis' quirky humor. The film proceeds to play of its predecessor, primarily in two scenes: that of Sal 'The Shark" Macelli (Robert Loggia in a Godfatheresque role)firstpummeling and then shooting a gangster (Griffin Dunne, who plays Jack Goodman in "Werewolf"); and that of Marie attaining her Italian feast in an unsuspecting mobster's car. By inducing stilted laughter from his henchmen shortly before he commits the murder, Loggia's character intensifies the anxiety of the scene, which thus related to "Werewolf's" segment in The Slaughtered Lamb, wherein the locals' boisterous laughter turns instantly to solemn silence. Marie's "supper scene," however, more concretely resembles "Werewolf' in tat it reuses Landis' stamp of juxtaposition: as Frank Sinatra croons from the car radio. Marie tears into her victim"s jugular vein, splattering blood upon the windshield. Such juxtaposition relates to "Werewolf's" revolutionary transformation scene, which combines the tenderness of the "Blue Moon" and the intensity ofDavid Kessler's (David Naughton's) screams. Although the union of dissimilar elements works perfectly in "Werewolf," it does nothing for the overall effectiveness of "Blood." Because theforma*film'sstory line itself involves a paradox (wolfman = human/beast), contradictions permeate "Werewolf" in comic/horrific, earthly/supernatural, rational/irrational and actual/imagined groupings. But in "Blood," whose action seemingly stemsfromscene to scene, de- void of purpose, juxtaposition becomes inconsequential ostentatiousness rather than a crucial cinematic technique. Admittedly, "Innocent Blood" does contain remnants of substance. For example, by intertextually placing Dunne as a subordinate in yet another bloodline, Landis has stylistically depicted the mafia's savageness. Similarly, Landis has employed Parillaud as an intertextual agent whose presence, by blinding Marie's being with that of Nakita, supplies the maincharacter with added depth. Also, Marie's aversion toward seeing her blood-splotched reflection and her contemplation of a handcuff clamped around her wrist, which she subsequently removes, offer promising avenues into which the film peas. Unfortunately, rather than pursuing these directions, "Blood" bumbles into adsurdity, losing sight of Marie's story and separating itself from the horror genre. In fact, as soon as Macelli rises from his metamoiphic state — caused, of course, by a chomp from Marie — the film's "horror" disappears altogether; yet, because its comedy seems out of context, "Blood", now reduced to a sophomoric level, compares neither to the peculiar horror of "Evil Dead II" nor to the horror spoof of "Love at First Bite"; instead, it resides in an obscure dead zone between the two.

The first segment pertains to SigmundFreud's theory on thedreamwithin-a-dream, which, in "The Interpretation of Dream," he describes as being that which "the dream-wish seeks to put in the place of an obliterated reality."

Beneath the surface, then, "Werewolf' targets the question of David's sanity: has he lost his mind —or has he merely been manipulated into believing well-crafted folklore? Similarly, have Landis' subleties — which include the subjective camera, panning and circling motions, and constructive shots — manipulated viewers into seeing a nonexistent beast? Indeed, the werewolf does not show itself in full until we viewers, along with David, have abandoned our logical minds for the film's lycanthropic proddings.

Out of the 310 students who voted on the fee measure, a strong 80 percent voted yes, with 59 students checking no. "I'm celebrating," Mitchellsaid. "I'm totally happy." In 1991, the Student Union fee measure was put on the ballot for the first time. That April election was also the first election ever held at Cal State San Marcos. Besides the Student Union fee, the students also voted in the first A.S. Council, approved the A.S. constitution^and assessed itself with a $15 fee each semester to fund the A.S. The Student Union fee failed with only 43 percent voting yes. The next time the measure appeared on the ballot was in the spring 1992 elections. It was defeated again, missing acceptance by only 6 percent. There was strong opposition to the measure because there was no discount rate for part time students. "I think part of why is past was because there was no opposition campaign," Mitchell said. But Mitchell said this election was different mainly because the new campus was open. "I think students, being on the new campus, wanted their own place on campus — a place where students can get together," she said. "Students will feel much more comfortable when they have a Student Union. We'll have a home on campus. "Being on the new campus had abig effect on the students." NOTE: 66% Yes needed to pass a fee measure SOURCE: Pioneer records and Associated Students. The measure enables the A.S. to collect $5 from full-time students starting in fall 1993. The fee will double to $10 and again to $20 and continue at that rate until the funds for Phase I are collected. Phase I will cost $3.5 million. Part-time students (less than 6.0 units) will be charged half price at each increment This is just the start of a long series of events before students will be able to utilize a Student Union. For now, Mitchell said the A.S. will spend its time getting student input on the new facility. "Hopefully, we are going to be having open forums," Mitchell said. "We can spend the spring semester getting the student input and seeing what the students want." The fee will not take affect for another two semesters, but "we'll be collecting for a couple of years before planning begins—at least for a year," Mitchell said. "The actual construction could take another two-and-a-half years." At the present, Mitchell said there is some information already available. She said the size of Phase I will be about the same square footage as the Commons Building — noting that a large portion of the Commons is taken up by the bookstore and cafeteria, an area where students don't see or use. "It (the Student Union) will have a simpler floor plan that is easier to use and can change as the students want it to change," she said. Of the two Associated Student Council positions on last week's ballot, only one position was filled. Leonard Rodriguez ran unopposed and was elected to represent the College of Education. The Graduate/Post Baccalaureate-at-large position will remain open. Vice president resigns CSUSM campus architect post On thefirstday of classes on the new campus, Albert Amado sat on the Founders' Plaza just watching students take advantage of the campus he built But after five years with Cal State San Marcos, the Vice President of Campus Planning and Construction has resigned to pursue a career elsewhere. Amado is the second vice president to leave CSUSM this year. Dr. Richard Rush, who served as Executive Vice President, left during the summer to serve as president of Mankato State University in Minnesota; that post has not been filled. Amado is considering «jobs in England, France or Guam where offers await him to build other master-planned universities. "I've been getting positive feedback about these jobs," Amado said in an interview withtititSanMarcosCourier, "but I didn't want to leave San Marcos until I reached my goal of seeing students sit in the classrooms I designed. And with the university dedicated, that was the dotting of the end of the sentence for me." Âmado's work for CSUSM has been recognized for its master plan and the design of William A, Craven Hall (still under construction) by the American School and University. CSUSM President Bill Stacy honored Amado O ct 2 when the campus was officially dedicated. �News Briefs Scholarships available The following scholarships are available to Cal State San Marcos students: • The Burnham Foundation is offering two $1,000 scholarships in 1992-93 to financially needy CSUSM students who are enrolled in a business or prebusiness degree program.

Free Speech Mission Statement review board stirs heated debate between students, staff LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Free speech became the topic of conversation and action throughout the month of October as university officials and students decided the fate of a communications storyboard in the Commons's dome. The board was placed in the Commons dome after Mission Statement Day in September. The storyboard consists of six cork panels with Post-it notes available for students to pen their comments and ¡)lace them on t hecork. Sheets of observations from Mission Statement Day panels are stapled on the board for student reaction and opinion. Student comments quickly filled the board and raised university eyebrows. According to Laura Mitchell, A.S. president and member of the University Mission Statement Day Committee, university o fficials moved to try to oust the storyboard from the Commons. Mitchell said the university held concerns about establishing the dome as a free speech area on campus. She said Auxiliary Services wanted to move the board to an outside area on campus near student traffic areas. Mitchell f ought t o keep the FREE SPEECH ... at Cai State San Marcos storyboard in the dome, sending the issue to the A.S. Council and the student population. She said the dome, as a common meeting place on campus, was the best place to hold the storyboard. A dialogue on the issue formed on the campus* electronic mail system. The storyboard then became a kind of free speech board for CSUSM. At an Oct. 9 A.S. meeting, Vice President of Student Activities, Dr. Ernest Zomalt, and Academic Vice President, Richard Millman, heard from more than a dozen students advocating not removing thè board from the Commons Building. According to Millman, those students were "influential" in keeping the storyboard in the Commons. The following day, the board was given the OK to remain in the dome. On Oct. 23, A.S. Council member Charles Inglis removed all comments from the board, discarding them in the trash. Inglis said the storyboard was not being used for its "intended purpose." He said the board serves the "dual" purpose of gauging the responses to Mission Statement Day and serving as a posting place for clubs and organizations. According to Mitchell, however, the board's primary purpose- is to provide a method of communication for students who have concerns over the campus's Mission Statement Inglis said the comments on the board did not reflect the original principles. "I removed political comments, slanderous statements, crude and rude jokes. Nobody took responsibility of the board," he said. "I had no intention of taking away any right to free speech."

Dressed in her leopard-skin costume she didn't look very much like the sharp, experienced food services manager she actually is. Martens unrolled blueprints and indicated tentative locations for food setup when the Dome Cafe is opened, and said it might be as early as Nov. 16, but definitely by the end of the month. There will be two wrap-around food counters, one for pizza and the other for both hot and cold foods, she said, with the desserts situated in a separate kiosk in the same room. "On that wall will be the Pizza Hut Express, in red and white," Martens said, as she pointed west. "We're not sure about the traffic flow into and out of this room y et" For now customers will have both entry and egress from the doors leading to the quad hallway (where telephones and restrooms are located). "We'll see if we need to make it one-way entrance and exit later, after the students use the room for a while." Marti Gray, Director of Auxiliary Services for Cal State San Marcos, said that "barring any unexpected construction problems" the cafe will open by the end of November. "We are within the 60 to 90 days from the day we got in here, the day before school started," she said, which was the agreed-upon time frame. "Cabinetry is being built and that takes time," Gray said. The one big problem they encountered was with the state fire marshal. When he didn't approve their original plans for the automatic extinguishing system, Gray said that they had to rethink the design. The Cal State University Foundation leases to CSUSM and subcontracts with Aztec Shops to do food services as a tenant. "We had to have the drawings redone," Gray said, "as we are a tenant and are responsible for the improvements done on the shell.

She said comments were being recorded for review by the University Mission Statement Day Committee. Two of the six panels had been recorded before they were removed by Inglis. "Charles was acting completely independently," Mitchell said. "He was not representing the A.S. when he took the comments down." Millman, who chairs the University Mission Statement Day Committee, said he thought some of the comments were good and some were "sophomoric" and in poor taste. He said those notes in poor taste reflected the need to educate the community to be sensitive to others. Millman also indicated that he did not believe censoring comments was the answer. According to Millman, the MSD Committee got so caught up in the issue offreespeech, it hasn't had time to sufficiendy digest comments from the board.

Customers will welcome the salad "The board reflects a number of insulary issues," Millman said. "Once an area is established as a free speech area, there it remains. Universities generally designate one place where open and free speech is afforded." I At most other universities, free speech areas are located outdoors. Vocal demonstrations and protests frequently occur in these areas. UCSD, for instance, uses an open quad in Revelle College as its free speech area. SDSU has a large grassy area allotted for its free speech zone. University officials worry that, if a free speech zone were to be located in the Commons, vocal demonstrations could disturb those wishing to eat in p eace or t rying to study in a noncombative atmosphere. Although CSUSM's older population has shown no inclinations for large vocal demonstrations, officials worry that later, younger classes may be more active. Mitchell said that the storyboard gave students an opportunity to provide input for university policy. She indicated that students feel left out of the college's decision-making process. "We feel we own part of the school," Mitchell said. "We threw the university off. They're used to making rules." bar and deli, where they can make their own "sandwich by the ounce," Martens said.

JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER NEW ERA . ••• • New nicotine patches get doctor's review, approval A new aid to help people withdraw from the tobacco habit has been released in the past six months. The manufacturers must feel they will be successful since the medical journals are flooded with advertisements and one company has advertised on television. The aids are Nicotine Patches which slowly release nicotine that is highly permeable through the skin. The delivery system is very sophisticated and capable of maintaining a steady blood level throughout the wearing of the patch. Theoretically, this prevents the recurrent craving for tobacco. N icotine delivered by smoking or chewing has a short elimination period in the blood. Therefore the need to smoke or chew again. This is one of the reasons nicotine is so addicting, since it requires frequent replacement. There are currently four brands of patches available by prescription. They are called Habitrol, Nicoderm, Prostep and recently released Nicotrol. Thefirstthree are worn 24 hours a day while Nicotrol is worn only 16 hours. The most common side effect is itching, slight burning and redness under the patch. Also, people commonly report sleep disturbance and intense dreaming. For this reason Nicotrol was developed to be worn only while awake; however, it may then have the theoretical disadvantage of not preventing early-morning craving. Other side effects are really only the usual effects of nicotine that occurs with smoking or chewing. One can not smoke or chew while wearing a patch because mild nicotine overdose is possible. The question is do they work and HEALTHNOTES D R. J OEL G R I N O L D S , M.D. are they worth the price, since they are relatively expensive. Most recommendaprogram for 10 to 16 weeks with decreased dose patches which weans one off nicotine. All of the manufacturers recommend using the patches in conjunction with a behavioral modification program. Nicotrol provides some patient aids and material on behavioral modification with their starter kits. Now for the good/bad news. All the patches reduce nicotine craving and withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. All of the patches are much more effective then placebos as six weeks during studies. However, at one or two years, the studies reveal only 12to29percentoftheparticipants are still abstaining from smoking. None of these studies employed behavior modification while the participants were wearing the patches. In conclusion, nicotine patches (transdermal nicotine) combined with behavior modification relieves nicotine withdrawal symptoms and is well tolerate by most people. The longterm effects of keeping people abstaining from smoking or chewing is not that impressive from the current available studies. Is it worth a trail? For most, my response is without a doubt. See your health-care provider or contact Student Health Services for further information an counseling concerning aids to tobacco cessation. Dr. Joel Grinolds is CSUSM's physician. Immigrant status unclear LONG BEACH—CSU Board of Trustees Chairman Tony Vitti announced that the board has instructed its legal council tofile"whatever actions are necessary in the Los Angeles and Alameda County Superior Courts to resolve the conflict" between two contradictory decisions on fees for undocumented aliens. Since 19485, if an undocumented alien student had established the required year's residency, he or she was to be charged in-state fees, not out-ofstate tuition. That 1985 decision was reaffirmed by the court in May 1992. A group decided to challenge that ruling by filing suit in Los Angeles, and theSuperiorCourt ruled in August that CSU, like the University and California and community colleges, must treat undocumented aliens as out-of-state residents for tuition purposes. The Los Angeles decision does not a utomatically o verrule t he Alameda ruling because they are in two different jurisdictions. With two completely opposite decisions facing it, the Board of Trustees decided to seek clarification from the two courts to determine exactly what law it must follow. California residents pay $ 1308 in annual fees, while and out-of-state student pays those fees plus tuition of $246 per semester unit ($7,380 annually for a full-time student). �6 PIONEER/TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3,1992 OPINION Everyone can learn from free expressions Last week, A.S. Council member Charles Inglis discarded student comments posted on the Mission Statement Day storyboard located in the Commons. Hecontends that the storyboard was never and should not be considered a free speech board. To him this simply is not a free speech issue. Inglis intends to make the board an A.S. and club posting place. In other words, he cares more for student governmental propaganda than he does for hearing the concerns of the student population which he represents. Many of those concerns center around the university's Mission Statement which promotes global and gender awareness. The six-panel board in the Commons was originally intended to gauge student response to the recent Mission Statement Day. Once students found an outlet for their frustrations, however, the storyboard became a platform forfreespeech. Some responses reflected genuine concern that points of view were being dictated by university policy without consideration of student input Certain white males, for instance, expressed that the curriculum at the university alienates them by catering almost universally to females and minorities. One person wrote that, as a white male, he has learned that no opportunities exist for him outside the campus walls. Another indicated that he is tired of being blamed for every little ailment of society simply because he is a white male. Other opinions were not as well stated. Some expressed, in ugly terms, fear and ignorance of homosexuality and racism. These comments, although hateful and petty, carried the message that the university still has far to go in its quest of increasing a humane understanding. Most of us don't like to see bathroom-wall mentality expressed on a public bulletin board; but like it or not, we can learn from such exhibitions. Although a minority of the opinions stated were of sophomoric nature, people like Charles Inglis must not deny therightfor those opinions to be expressed. Once parameters are drawn demarcating the boundaries of expressive content, there is no limit to what may be censored. As one example, one needs only to refer to the previous statements about white male alienation. Upon seeing this comment, one influential faculty member (a white male political conectoid) expressed outrage over the content of those statements. To him the concerns reflected bigotry and disregard over die needfor equality. If itwere up to him, the storyboard would have gone down that instant and the opinion held by many white oV-gjiCK» P6 OUR VIEWS STAFF EDITORIAL males on this campus would not be heard. The purpose of the board is not to express only the happy-happy opinions of the Mission Statement, but to thresh out concerns that prevent its goals from existing as only ideological rhetoric. With or without the Mission Statement Day Board, student opinions will be expressed. The board offers a civilized outlet for that voice. History has shown that the more empowered figures try to control freedom of speech, the more violently the disempowered will react In the 1960s, universities across the nation became uncontrolled forums of liberty and public opinion. Tieneman Square revealed the lengths oppressed people will go to gain what we take for granted. Two years ago, many of the Eastern Bloc nations rose against the tyranny of oppression. The .straight fact is that many students feel their voices have been squelched by the administration of this university. If those voices do not receive the opportunity to speak than the result could be much more offensive than a few crude comments on a piece of cork. Although many of the powers-that-be in this university recognized that some comments on the board were offensive, they did not dare to censor them. They were well aware that a physical limiting of student voice would produce untidy consequences. CSUSM President Bill Stacy best exemplified the Mission Statement Day Board issue when he wrote: "Do not let us trivialize either the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech or the scholar's obligation to discover and to teach. And let us not confuse the difference." By throwing comments away because they were "slanderous," "crude and rude," or "of political nature," Inglis trivialized the entire concept offreedomof speech and prevented the scholarly community from learning valuable lessons of curriculum development from student comment A.S. President Laura Mitchell was not even finished with the arduous task of recording the comments on the board when they were discarded. Her intent was to present these comments to the University Mission Statement Day Committee for review and study. Inglis wants the free speech board to follow the stipulations of the university's restrictive posting policy. In order to place a comment on the board, one would have to have it approved by Student Affairs. If the board followed posting policy, than students would have no encouragement to even attempt to enter the forum. The university could then safely censor what was posted for public review. There would be no anonymity of comment safeguarding unpopular pontiffs from the persecution of others. Yes Charles Inglis, this is afreespeech issue. It grew from the passions and concerns of a population wishing to have its own voice heard. Student opinion, however sophomoric, responsible, liberating or painful, may not be discarded by any person of authority who believes that view to be unsavory. When those in power limit the freedom of expression from those they govern, tyranny results. When student opinion is censored so is the right of free speech. By throwing student opinions in the trash can, Charles Inglis created a free speech issue which may not have really existed before. �Students react to apathetic claims PIONEER Cai State San Marcos San Marcos, CA 92096 (619) 752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young CONTRIBUTORS: Sheila Cosgrove, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Mik James Hamada, David Hatch, Roman S.

A THOUGHTS "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or therightof the people peacefully to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." U.S. C onstitution, A mendment! I read your editorial regarding the demise of Tukut and felt very angry (Pioneer, O ct 6, Page 6). The problem with the Tukut was not student apathy, but rather an indication that this service did not serve the student body of Cal State San Marcos at the present time. If you paid any attention to your article titled "Women continue to top enrollment," you would have noted that the average student age is 29. Many of these "older" students at San Marcos are attending school, raising a family and working at a full-time job. Most students' top priority is not CSUSM's yearbook, but rather working themselves and their families. Yearbooks belong to younger students. These memoirs capture and record the time between youth and adulthood. Who doesn't recall the sentiments expressed in their high school yearbook such as: ' The way we were,"or "We've only just begun"? Yearbooks preserve those special days. Unfortunately this is not the case for our campus. Although our time here matters, other concerns take precedence. I really resentyour paper claiming that we are "ugly slugs trying to pass as student" This is contrary to the people I have met at CSUSM. This school contains some of themostmotivated, hardworking, and ambitious students anywhere. These people may be dealing with a lot more personal challenges than most young students fresh out of high school. So quit trying to relive your "glory days" and start realizing that our students are doing the best they can with their circumstances. Let's leave yearbooks to highschool and only develop services which meet the needs of our student population. KARIN FOSTER/CSUSM STUDENT Apathy, relationships, spirit... and back again That's i t—I can't take any more! As you so openly admit, all that we've heard from the Pioneer since its beginnings "have been putdowns. We don't need to hear how apathetic YOU think we are because we are NOT all apathetic. Mostly we are overworked, underappreciated and financially overextended. If the Pioneer staff was more familiar with non-business organizations and clubs, they would know that in most groups only a small percentage of the members actual "do the work." The more the groups' leaders groan and complain the less the members want to become involved or desire to undertake leadershiproles. Attacking people only serves to put them on the defensive rather than inspire or bring on cooperation. If you subtract the many evening and parttime students from our enrollment of less than 2,000, divide the remained among the 1,5 or so clubs, the fraternity, the A.S., the ICC, the sorority and teaching assistants, you would see that in general we have quite a lot of participation. You must also consider that other students wishing to participate in extra-curricular activities oftenfinda clash between meetings and class schedules. YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM As for the purported "apathy," how can you blame the demise of the yearbook on apathy? I myself wanted a yearbook; however when it came time to order, I had to put aside my enthusiasm and ask myself what did I need: a yearbook or a textbook. Without these constant litde (sometimes large) sacrifices, I could easily be nickeled and dimed right out of school. Your article, moreover, implies that we have no pride in our school unless we're willing to shell out money for school souvenirs and we repeat all the same traditions held by every other school. We are not typical, we are unique. Here 71 percent of the student body are women, many over age 25. Apparently, you have failed to comprehend the significance of these figures. Most of us are in a different life stage than your typical coUege students. We share the goal of tryingto obtain an education, but our priorities are decidedly different!. Very few of us have nothing else to do but hang around school all day, join five clubs and hold beer parties. Many of us come to school, do what has to bedone and leave. You are not seeing apathy, but efficiency. We have busy lives and long-standing social networks outside the university, with husbands, children (often children and no husband), relationships, jobs — all demanding our time, energy and undivided attention. As women, we strive to be the perfect wives, lovers, mothers; perfect housekeepers, cooks, caretakers; perfect employees; and now we have the addedpressure of being perfect students! Even realizing that this juggling act is an impossibility, women still have to learn to deal with guilt. In addition there are the sacrifices, financial and otherwise, with which students, especially re-entry ones, have to content in order to complete their education. These are not excuses, just facts. Your allegations that we lack school spirit depend on your definition. School spirit, to me, means having the guts to risk everything, gambling on a school that looks much more like a shopping center going out of business than a university and having faith it wouldn't fold. It means driving from as far away as Orange County or Interstate 8 because, after the first class, people knew CSUSM was special. It means putting up with the new faculty while hoping that the class you really need will be available soon. It means churning out 10-page papers with only a bare bones library (albeit hard-working librarians).ItmeansbuMngclubs from the ground up by students with little previous organizational experience (by the way UCSD, with over 17,500 students, has had no Psych club for years, but we've had one since the beginning of the first semester). CSUSM spirit means appreciating what we've got, working together for what we need, and no bitching about what we don't yet have. Our spirit and determination, nonetheless, is not enough for the Pioneer staff. You, as selfappointed judge and jury, want us to prove that we are good enough to deserve you? Well, you guys need to take a reality check. I've talked with women all over campus about their concerns that they won't make it through school and their struggle to hang in there just one more term, one more month. Praying that their money, their resolve, or their marriage won't give out before they can finish. Hoping that there's a meaningful profession and not just another low-paying service job or pink ghetto in their future! And all you can write about is a cute little pep rally idea left over from high school about school pride. Get real. I am proud of my fellow students, amazed at the among of participation we have on campus, and happy for anyone who can spare time to attend club meetings or engage in other extracurricular activities. There is no substitute f or "hands on" experience; students, therefore, who don't get involved are missing out, but that choice (and that loss) is theirs. It's understandable that you want someone to continue the paper oil which you have worked long and hard. So stop whimpering and acting likeNatteringNabobs ofNegativity and become part of the solution. Ask what have you done or could do to encourage, motivate and train potential Pioneer staff (aside from your usual belittling and name calling). Many otherwise interested students may be hesitating to get involved because they are uniformed (clueless) about processes or procedures. You have the power of the pen, use it! Explain what the job takes and with whom you work. Get the faculty involved in encouraging good potential Pioneer staff members. Don'tbe "ugly slugs": leaveapositive legacy to CSUSM. PAFRA L. CATLEDGE/CSUSM STUDENT Reward initiative I wouldn't describe the average CSUSM student as apathetic, rather overcommitted. With 71 percent women, and most students over 29, there are numerous students carrying an enormous amount of responsibilities. It's not that we don't care. We care too much! Why not shift the definition of involvement to one that describes each student as an ambassador for CSUSM? With this definition, the students takes the university with them into all aspects of life and in the long run the university will benefit. For example, I am a team mother for my son's sports team. Each season, a new group of children and adults see me studying on the sidelines during practice. I teach a creative writing class at a local private school. Each year those students are kept up to date on the campus happenings and receive the benefit of learning SEE LETTERS/PAGE 10 �University's computer lines I have spoken to many students During the month of October, free about the follow up to Mission Statespeech has been a topic of great discussion throughout the campus of CSUSM. ment Day and they all feel that the From the tables in the Commons Building summaries should be posted in the to the desks of classrooms, students have dome.

Thanks for your consideration, idealisms of the 21 st century: Laura 10/5/92 From: A.S. President Laura Mitchell To: CSUSM President Bill Stacy I have been sitting on the Mission Statement Day Committee and one of my chaiges on the committee is to post the summaries of the M.S.D. workshops on a storyboard. The idea of the storyboard is to post the summaries so that the campus community can read about what happened in other workshops, or those who work during the day and attend school at night can take part in the Mission Statement Everyone is encouraged to express their feelings about the summaries on "Post-it" notepads attached to the storyboard It has been too long already for the foUow-up activities to the Mission Statement Day and it is out of many students' minds. We need to put the storyboard in a centrally located spot I was told today that the storyboard will be located behind the Commons Building at the top of the steps. I believe that putting the board in this location will not fulfill the spirit of Mission Statement Day as it will not be read by the campus community. The committee agreed that the dome would be the best spot for the storyboard because of its central location. In addition, it is sheltered from the wind and weather and is a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere which promotes an environment that encourages the thoughtful exchange of ideas. Thectame is whereaU members oftheuniversily communitywillbeawaie of the storyboard's existence. We students are concerned about the current restrictions on posting policies. I understand the thinking behind the restrictions but I believe that the lack of expression, or disallowing expression, is a greater wrong than the expression itself, even if it may become objectionable. Our university encoiirages diversity, freedom of expression, and critical thinking, but is this limited only to academic parameters? 10/11/92 From: Bill Robinson To: Bill Stacy The discussion on the Mission Statement Storyboard has raised my eyebrows, and I feel the need to take a second and comment I had planned to make this point during the Administrative Council, but it was canceled. It seems to me that we have started out in the middle of the free speech discussion on campus rather than at the beginning. We have started at the point which asks the question: Where will theFree Speech areabe? I believe instead we should first have asked the question: Do we want to limit student speech on campus, and if so, how should we go about doing it? This is my fourth campus. Free speech at the first three was "limited" to the entire campus. It is my opinion thatfreespeech areas violate the spirit of the mission statement and that to suggest to studentsalistof these areas prior to discussing with students, faculty and staff the meaning and intention of these areas is also not in keeping with how we should do business. The business with no posting on campus coming down from "above" surely seemed an arbitrary decision to students, particularly given the fact this policy was implemented so close to our discussion of the campus mission. Faculty would riot if we would suggest that their freedom to speak their minds would be in any way constrained by the university administration. Have we not promised our students that we will place no artificial distinctions between any membos of the campus community? Should we not give students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to handle theirrightswith the same dignity that faculty show prior to cutting off those rights? We can talk about the Mission Statement all we want, but the students will pay far more attention to what we do than what we say. If we tell students they are partners in the campus, but then deny them the rights of the other partners, we begin to create a society where all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. I suggest that it is time to turn back the discussion of speech on campus to its most fundamental level. Let us gather together and decide what conditions should affect the rights of the members of our community. It is my opinion that, given our mission statement, the student/faculty/staff distinction is not one of those conditions. 10/13/92 From: Anthony Dunn To: Campus Community What have been the greatest movements in the history of humanity? Are they not those movements, such as the civil rights movement in the 1960s and the movement to liberate IndiafromBritish rule in the first half of this century, where people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs join together in peace to share what they have in common, rather than face each other in hatred and fear about their differences? And are not the most fearful movements in the history of humanity those movements which are based implicitly or explicitly on separating human beings because of their differences, no matter how superficial or trivial they may be, and assigningrightsand privileges based q>on these diffoences? How can a university focused on (according to the Mission Statement) the "international concerns of race, gender and cultural diversity" afford to assign differentrights and privileges to any member of this community based upon his or her "classification?" How can we, living in a political system that has declared that "all men are created equal," say that some of us may determine and limit therightsof others? How can we, in the face of all the hatred and bloodshed that has arisen over discrimination and enforced separation through the length and breadth of history, justify recreating such a system here? These questions nowhere have more importance than in the issue of free expression. To deny anyone in this university therighttofreedomof expression denies the philosophical foundation of the Mission Statement. For how can you have true diversity if any group of people can determine just exactly what kind of diversity is acceptable? How can you create a truly "global community" if certain views are systematically denied participation? How can you create an "atmosphere that �open channel for debates encourages students to examine moral and ethical issues central to their development as responsible men and women*9 if that atmosphere places limits on what they may say or think? The issue of freedom of expression on this campus is one that must be settled morally, not bureaucratically. The administration cannot afford to hand down policy in the manner of the British Raj or the Birmingham city government, that is, by excluding from the decision-making process the very people who will be affected by the decision. No one has the moral right to determine what another may or may not do without his or her consent Therefore, this university is under moral imperative to include aU of its members in the discussion of freedom of expression, not just administration. Students, faculty, staff and administration must have equal standing and equal voice. But no one can grant you the right to stand up for yourself and demand equality; you must take that right yourself. You must take it on your own, in the face of those you would deny you Of i t I call on every member of this university, student, faculty, staff andadministration, to stand up for what you know isrightand speak out I, for one, am speaking out What have I to fear? If Mohandas Gandhi could stand up for his rights in the face of Britishrifles,and MartinLuther King Jr. could stand up for his rights in the face of white racist clubs, then what paltry jeopardy do I face for standing up for mine? When will free men and women stop fearing the retribution of those who claim control? They wiU stop fearing when they realize that they cannot be controlled if they do not wish to be. I would not speak out in such a fashion if I did not fervently believe in this university and its Mission Statement I believe that we can create a truly new kind of university here, a university of the 21st century. I think that we all hope that we can. But we will not do it by letting any group or individual on this campus lose touch with the rest of the campus community. The students cannot afford, for their own well-being, to let the faculty, staff or administration lose touch with their needs. Nor can the administration afford, for the sake of the future of this university, to lose touch with the needs of the rest of the university community. All of us must lead eac h other. And the only way to do that is by standing up, one by one, to declare our willingness to work together and to share our ideas. Therefore, on the issue of free expression Ipropose that a committee be formed, with equal representation from all members of the university community, and with aU members having equal authority, to discuss and establish university policy on all forms of expression, written, spoken and otherwise. The recommendations of this committee should be ratified by the university community at large and submitted to the president for implementation. Regardless of how you feel toward what I' ve said, I encourage your response. In the words of Art Goldberg, one of the leaders of the Free Speech Movement at UC Berkeley in 1964, "The most important thing is to make this campus a marketplace for ideas." 10/14/92 From: Jesse Scott To: Bill Stacy There has been much talk throughout history of "free speech." Activists for centuries have fought over this "issue." The medieval church of the 12th cen tury regarded as heretical any speech, such as that of Abelard and John of Seville, that espoused ideas differentfromthe official view of the church. However, I con tend thatfreespeech is not an issue, not a right, not an element that can be the topic of discussion for removal or regulation. It remains, rather, a fundamental part of the human make-up, of our psychology and physiology, and can be no more removed or regulated than can respiratory or circulatory processes. A human being has the capability of thought, or, if you will, so called "higher reasoning capability." The process involves the evaluation of sensory input analysis of the input, and subsequent interpretation of the data. In most cases these steps lead to the eventual climax of the development of a position on the topic. One either agrees, disagrees, or develops their own hypothesis regarding this matter. This process happens in many cases almost instantaneously and unconsciously. Thus, the individual develops a position, an opinion or conclusion. Directly linked to that position is the need to express or share i t If not immediately vocalized, this position is nonetheless eventually articulated in print, in a journal, to one's spouse, friends or co-workers. Whatever the method, that view will be expressed. It is an involuntary consequence of the thought process. The need to share the view is often misinterpreted as the need to take physical action. Those who attempt to regulate free expression of ideas do not generally fear the ideas themselves. They fear the resulting actions that may comefromthe general populace hearing, interpreting, and perhaps agreeing with those ideas; then adopting a plan of action based on those "subversive ideas." What then,does an institution feaf when it attempts to restrict free expression? Is it so insecure in its own position that it fears scrutiny? Does it feel that there is something inherently wrong with it, and that the hidden will come to light? Or is it simply a matter of the compulsion to always be in control, to always be "right," to put itself in the role of deciding what is best for the majority, because it feels that the majority may not be capable of knowing what is best for itself? There has never been a time in any recorded history, when viewed with the benefit of hindsight that the free expression of ideas has not been of eventual benefit to a society. There has, conversely, never been a time when a society has not suffered irreversible harm from the repression of free thought and expression. If thought is allowed;freeexpression must follow. Free speech cannot be regulated, any more than can free breathing, free blood flow, or free brainwave activity. The universal idea of "I think therefore I am" is somewhat limited. It could appropriately be modified as "I think, therefore I speak, therefore I am." Bureaucratical intervention into basic humanity must cease. The medical definition of death is when all brainwave activity has ceased. The expression of ideas is an essential part of the thought process. Without expression, thought is incomplete. Hie brain is truly dead. Perhaps the motto of afreesociety must be "Speak to live. Remain silent, and die." 10/15/92 From: Bill Stacy To: Campus Community This campus must be a place of free inquiry, academic freedom, disciplined scholarly research and disputation. More important than answers are excellent questions and a demanded opportunity to pursue excellent questions toward the truths which may be discovered. There is no institution apart from human beings who are its teachers and learners in the community of scholars. Do not let us trivialize either the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech Or the scholars obligation to discover and to teach. And let us not confuse the difference. �LETTERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 as I learn. I am also Director of Women's Ministries for Valley Bible Church in San Marcos. In that role, I often get the opportunity to encourage women to re-enter the academic arena. I know I am not unique. I may be describing all 2,000 of CSUSM students, if we matched our dayrunners! Reward initiative. Run a column on outstanding student achievement and voluntaryism outside the classroom, whether on or off campus. Have faculty nominate for student ambassador awards. Offer college credit or class credit for volunteering time in areas related to the subject matter. Offer book scholarships to reward incentive. Above all, be sensitive to the time constraints of an older student population. The Global Fair, the W.IJN. programs have been successful because they offered a large time block and the freedom to come and go. Small group opportunities could help also. For example, a club could offer coffee times on several different days rather than trying to rally everyone for one meeting time. Mission Statement Day worked because the faculty took advantage of time students already had blocked out for school Another suggestion would be to lower the red tape needed for involvement and cut out most meeting times. Make being involved userfriendly. Have sing-up sheets readily available for large events like the Global Fair so a student could stop and sign up for a small responsibility in just a few moments. Or take advantage of voice mail and computer bulletin boards and please, invest in bulletin boards for each classroom ASAP. As for the Tukut, adopt the same philosophy, and serve the population at large. Why not publish a coffee table book that is attractive to non-student buyers as well as students? Life has been known for enthusiastically chronicling many facets of American life in this fashion. The book wouldcontaincompellingphotographs (many from Pioneer) as well as students and faculty quotes and could be combined with a literary journal as student and faculty writing could be showcased as well, but all the while keeping the general population in mind. If marketed correctly, a large publication house mightoffertheA.S.acontract.Thelargeprinting could lower the cost into the $15 range and make it more affordable. The book becomes an ambassador as well. An annual children *s book would also expose upcoming generations to the university experience. The first could highlight a day at the Global Fair. Til write the first query letter! To further expose the university, let students create a video that could be circulated to potential students but that doubles as a video yearbook of the year before. That way both the students and the university get their money's worth. The video itself could be a contest which would reward a beginning entrepreneur. By simply shifting our focus and empowering each student with ambassador status, perhaps involvement and enrollment would both rise. Gay, lesbians pervert natural relationships Several items featuring the ideologies and activities of gays and lesbians on the campus of Cal State University, San Marcos, appeared in theOct7issueofPioneer,thestudentnewspaper. My response to the homosexual movement is in keeping with University Bill Stacy's invitation to "stop for a moment, to assess and to revise." Attention has been called to the Alternative Lifestyles Support Organization behind the gay andlesbian movement. ItisrecognizingNational Coming Out Day with a week of activities on campus to espouse its homosexual views. University students have the right and are free to express their views and to make choices. The flip side is that they must face the consequences of the choice they make. Before they stumble and flounder in amorass of diverse views let's look at the alternatives. At issue are two lifestyles and they are alternatives. Of the two only one may be chosen. The traditional lifestyle has a family as the base unit in society. Its nucleus is a parent or parents living together and rearing their own or adopted children. Genetically the family begins with male and female. The two are essential to children. Marriage is the institution whereby a man and a woman are joined legally and socially for the purpose of founding a family. In an ideal sense, the traditional family enjoys a healthy, loving relationship. It offers role models for the children to emulate. The so-called "alternative" lifestyle may be defined as a deviation or a marked departure PAMELA FARREUCSUSM STUDENT from the behavioral norm of society. It perverts the natural sexual function of man and woman with dire consequences. It involves sexual "pleasure for a season" leading to certain early death for the participants. The university bears a responsibility as an institution of higher learning. As Betram Cole states in "A Thought" (Pioneer, O ct 7, page 7): "Learning has no value unless it culminated in action." Students are given a wealth of information within the learning process. Trial and error is no longer needed as a basis of decision making. Students can weigh the evidence and reach valid conclusions. Education is not intended to ensnare but to free the mind to alter lives. With open minds and freedom of choice students can change their attitudes and choose a better way of life. If convincing needs reinforcement, let me quote from a text that has proved true for the past 2,000 years. Most students believe in God and this is how he wared people prone to deviant behavior even the freedom to choose: • " ... women turned against God's natural plan for them and indulged in sex sins with each other. And the men instead of having a normal sex relationship with women, burned with lust for each other, men doing shameful things with other men and, as a result, getting paid with their own souls, with the penalty they so richly deserved. "They were fully aware of God's death penalty for these crimes, yet they went right ahead and did them anyway, and encouraged other to do them, too."—Romans 1:26,27,32) IRVING F.

The two-story brick house is one of two houses in California listed by the U.S. Department of Commerce as "haunted." The Winchester House in San Jose is the only other building in the state to have such a distinction. Throughout the nation, only 30 houses are listed by the Commerce Department as "ghost houses." According to the Historical Shrine Foundation, the ghosts of rhomas and Anna Whaley still roam the halls of the building as if they had never died. Since the mansion was opened as a museum to the public in 1960, June Reading has seen and heard evidence supporting the claim that ghosts exist in the Whaley House. As director of the museum, Reading has become a true believer in ghosts. She has volumes of stories to tell of spirit activity in the historical monument "I was with a visitor to the museum when I saw Thomas Whaley on the landing upstairs," she says. "He was a small-sized man wearing a topcoat, pantaloons and a wide-brimmed h at "He looked solid, but the figure faded away. One of (the employees) told me that he didn't come through the front door.

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," released last week on video, is a wonderfully animated, musically beautiful and amazing story. The tale unfolds around 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 fall in love with a woman — and have her love him. 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. '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. "He'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 processing it into a final design." 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 muscular brow of a gorilla, the legs and tail of a wolf and the big bulky body of a bear. To all the above, he added the SEE BEAST/PAGE 16 Belle and the beast dance in the grand ballroom of the beast's castle. The scene uses breakthrough computer animation for the background; the characters were added through the traditional animation. Angela Landsbury sings the title song during the scene. Alladiii to fly in this holiday Walt Disney Pictures will release "Alladin" in theaters this holiday season, bring the magical kingdom's collection of full-length animated feature films to 31. Starring Alladin, the main characters will include Princess Jasmin, Abul the monkey, Iago the parrot, Jabar the villian and of course, a very special Genie of thè Lamp. Music composers from "Beauty and the Beast" and "Little Mermaid" join the Disney cast again for six new songs. Disney's newest full-featured animation movie takes the marketplace by storm JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER For those avid Disney fans who reserved their copy of "Beauty and the Beast" several months ago, it may not have been necessary. The newest animated classic is everywhere. At the Escondido Blockbuster Video, the volume is so large that architecturally-sound stacks of the videos dot the store and it is covered wall to wall with the cassettes — literally. "Beauty and the Beast" has a suggested price of $19.99. For those who haven't been able to find a copy yet, here's a short list of advertised business and their prices: • Target: $15.88. Target also has the dolls and themed clothing on sale. • Longs Drugs: $15.99. • K mart: $14.97. K mart also has the dolls, plush toys, watches and themed clothing on sale. • Blockbuster Video: $16.95. • The Warehouse: $16.99. • The Disney Store (North County Fair): $19.99. The Disney Store has an endless array of toys, musical tapes, clothes and just about anything for "Beauty and the Beast" In addition to these prices, Nabisco is offering a $5 mail-in rebate. All that is needed is the proof of purchase of the video and four proof of purchases from Nabisco products. The offer information comes along in the video boxes. If the video is not enough, then you may be interested in the collectors'edition. The package comes with the video, but adds the "Making of Beauty and the Beast" video and book, the soundtrack and CD and a large print from the original movie. The set retails for around $100, but some stores are selling the collection for around $75. "101 Dalmatians" and "The Rescuers" are two other videos from Disney also just released in stores. "Pinnochio" will be released on video soon and "Sleeping Beauty" will wake up in theaters this upcoming season. �BEAST Computers generate assistance CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 most important: sincerity.

The monster agrees and the stage is s et They unknowingly must fall in love with each other to restore the beast's humanity. But they are not alone in their quest Disney adds a few extra characters to this saga. There's candlestick, a clock, atea pot and her cup. All of this ordinary objects, with the entire household furniture, are comically animated. Angela Landsbury (f4Murder She Wrote") and David Ogden Stiers ("M*A*S*H") lend their voices to these animated objects. Landsbury, as Miss Potts the TeaPot, is fortunate enough to sing the title song, "Beauty and the Beast" It's a quaint tune with simpleorchestrationandsoft harmony — a true love song. With the cast now introduced, the Disney crew of animators and writers use the magic only found in Mickey Mouse's cap to tell a story that always ends happily ever after. "Beauty and 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'.

One of the qualifications for receiving official club status is the signing of a non-discrimination policy. But the original policy the College Republicans signed — as well as all other clubs—was recently changed to include a statement regarding sexual orientation. Rob Christensen, president of the College Republicans at CSUSM, refuses to sign the revised non-discrimination policy citing personal religious beliefs. In its place, Christensen drafted a reworded policy thatreadthe club would not discriminate 44 basedon university policy" and leaving out the specific reference to sexual orientation. University policy also includes a non-discrimination clause based on sexual orientation. Christensen's draft is what the ICC rejected Friday by a strong percentage. 44 The ICC discussed it and they really debated about it," said Angela Lowder, Associated Students liaison to the ICC. 'They felt it would set a bad precedent. They did not accept Rob's compromise." With the vote, ICC vice chairwoman Dana Bruce said the Council sent out a message saying, "We are not going to let you change it just for you. If all the clubs have to sign it, then you have to sign i t" Bruce represents the Alternative Lifestyle Support Organization (AX.S.O), a gay and lesbian support group on campus. "At the ICC meeting, as president of the soccer club, I voted in support ofICC's decision," saidLaura Mitchell, who also serves as president oftheA.S.44It(thepdicy)shouldnotbe amended for just one club." In response, Christensen said he would appeal the decision before the A.S. Council at this Friday's meeting, warning that certain ramifications may ensue if they do not accept his compromise. 44 It may not be good for the university to prohibit us to participate in the university community," he said in reference to the strong Republican following in North County. But Mitchell anticipates the A.S. Council will uphold the decision made by the ICC. 44 There is a problem if you start making amendments to it," she said 44This is the state- ment, except of Rob's club, that all the clubs agreed to sign." " I think w e're being treated unfairly," Christensen continued. "We've compromised some and they should compromise a little." But Lowder countered by pointing out the diversity of the 21-member Inter Club Council. "They come to compromises really well. The only problem so far has been this issue," Lowder said. Since the debates began several weeks ago, rumors have been circulating saying that Christensen's actions are not supported by his own club and that the ICC was trying to remove the Republicans from being active on campus. 44 We are a minority club," Christensen said pointing out that CSUSM is a liberal campus. "We have gotten flack from the l eft I'm not worried about that. The thing that bothers me is the ICC is trying not to allow us to be on campus. They want to censor us and not allow us to adequately communicate our views." But several ICC members denied the allegations. ' "I don't think anyone has wanted to kick out the Republican club," Lowder said. "It's a SEE CLUB/PAGE 5 First sorority gets started on campus With the second fraternity starting on campus, the women of Cal State San Marcos have come together to create their own Greek organization as the Kappa Chi Omega sorority becomes established here. "It seems like everybody is interested in getting this thing going," said Charlene Blaisdale, the chapter's secretary. "When we started passing out flyers, everyone was really excited." The group officially formed last month and received nearly 30 pledges. "We started just because we need more life on campus," President Denise Eliyas said as one of the reasons for starting Kappa Chi Omega. "Another reason is there is nothing for people to get involved with unless they like the specific clubs here. 44 Another reason is to make friendships. There's no real way to meet people except in class and sometimes that's difficult. 44 We just want to get together and have a group of people we will know," Blaisdale continued. "We want something that will last outside of school and after college. It's not like high school; college is a whole different ball game." Blaisdalesummeditupby saying the sorority would "promote sisterhood." In the short time the group has been in existence, they are already heavily involved in community activities, "Right now, were tryingtoget involved with the retirement homes — visit them," Blaisdale said. 44We want to brighten the elderly people's day. "We're also involved with Mealson Wheels." Blaisdale said the members are currently being trained for the voluntary positions. They will work for Meals on Wheels twice a month. "We want to give back to the community what we get," Eliyas said. Kappa Chi Omega is advised by Sandy Punch , careercenterdirector. "She offered and we took her up on it," Eliyas said. "She's helped us through a couple of rough spots. She basically lets us go on our own, but she's there if we need to bounce some ideas off of her." Advising a Greek organization is not new to Punch. She also serves as advisor for the Sigma Phi Delta fraternity. "Sigma Phi Delta? They're pretty gung ho about us," Eliyas said. "We've done things with them and we plan to do things in the future. (Together) it's giving the students more of a voice on campus." The secondfraternityis just getting started. Currently, the pledged sisters are going through a pledge time. "It's a period of time where they get to know us and we get to know them," Eliyas said. "We're going through that right now." Part of the pledge time includes several projects and tasks. Eliyas said one of those is to come up with a sorority song. "Basically, it's unity-forming tasks," she said. H ie only qualifications are a 2.0 minimum GPA and enrollment in at least six units. 44 This semester we're being pretty lenient," Eliyas said about the qualifications. "We're tryingtorecruit people that have a good attitude and can get along with others—people who are willing to work as well as have fun." "Right now, i t's more play-it-by-ear because we're so new. We're making our criteria as we g o/' Blaisdale said. "But we do want someone who has a good attitude about life and a positive outlook." Out of the original sisters who pledged, only 19 have stayed with the sorority. Those students who did not stay with Kappa Chi Omega were not turned away, Eliyas said. They chose not to join for personal or scheduling reasons. At this time, the sorority is not accepting any more pledges. For interested students who want to join next semester, Eliyas said: "Set their Wednesday evenings aside because that's when we meet." �News Briefs San Marcos campus plans for Tardeada The Latino Association of Faculty and Staff and the California State University's Hispanic Advisory Committee will host the first Tardeada. The Tardeada, a rich cultural tradition where family andfriendscome together to socialize, eat and dance, will be Nov. 21from4 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a dance followingfrom7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Tardeada's goal is to introduce the new campus to the Latino Community and raise funds for scholarships and enrichment activities for Latino students. The evening will include entertainment, buffet dinner, information about the University, and campus tours. A contribution of $ 15 per person will reserve attendance. Contributions above that amount will go to the Latino Scholarship Fund. Checks should be made payable to CSUSM Foundation/Tardeada and sent to Jane Lynch, at university Advancement.

Tenured layoffs rescinded by trustees Tenured and tenured-track faculty will not be laid off this academic year,CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz announced at the Board of Trustees meeting, but he warned that layoffs are almost inevitable for 1993/94. 'There will be no layoffs of tenure and tenure-track faculty for this year," Munitz said, "but all this buys us a transition year. I don't see how we can avoid them for 1993/94 because it will be an equally difficult year, we can't be optimistic about i t" Layoff notices for the 1993/94 year could have to be sent in March to take effect June 30,1993. CSU seeks more land The CSU will file.an application with the U.S. Department of Education to acquire up to 2,000 acres of Fort Ord, an Army base near Monterey destined for closure in two to three years. The CSU would move the San Jose State off-campus center now in Salinas to the new site, with the eventual goal of developing a fullservice campus of 25,000 FTE students by about 2015. The proposed university would emphasize science, math, foreign languages and international education. Because it is considered surplus federal land, the property is expected to cost California taxpayers little or nothing.

Now at Cai State San Marcos, thè fastest means of communication between the different sectors is Electronic Mail. ANALYSIS"" On every desk it seems sits an Apple Macintosh computer. Secretaries have them. Administrators have them. Faculty and staff members have them. And now students have access to the electronic medium. And time after time, especially now, the E-mail system is proving to be a strong asset to the university. A member of CSUSM can send a message to another instantly through a computer program which links all the computers at the university. The author can choose a location to send it to, one specific person or the entire campus community. And the latter has proved to be quite powerful. The power of the E-mail became apparent April 29 when the Los Angeles Times reported that CSUSM would close. It was the same day students received their registration packets and several potential faculty members were involved in interviews. But Caster than most newspapers could clarify the Times' interpretation, CSUSM President Bill Stacy eased tensions on campus by a simple letter and a string of cables connecting each computo* to the next He used the E-mail to stop what could have been mass hysteria here.

The f irst was a F ree Speech movement centered around a Mission Statement bulletin board located in the Commons Building's Dome area A number of people added their comments and mini-editorials to the E-mail files; everyone from students to administrators was involved in the communication. "The discussion on the Mission Statement Storyboard has raised my eyebrows, and I feel the need to take a second and comment," is how Anthony Dunn started his entry into the six-page,double-sidedprintedvasion of the E-mail debate. Dunn's entry shows that this form of communication is quick and easy. " ... take a second.. . "is all it took for Dunn. It was then that the students tapped into the power of the E-mail. Just weeks lata*, that opportunity is being used again as students and other computer-bearing staffmembers discuss the issue of no Grievance Policy and the effects thereafter. In a period of two days, five people had added their comments to the communication string. But with the recent issues being made public through the E-mail, another debate comes to the forefront: Is the E-mail considered a public forum or should it be regulated? "Ihavereadwithincreasingdismay thediscussion on electronic mail about an issue involving a specific professor. Public forums are just not the appropriate place for a conversation about a specific faculty member, staff members or s tudent," R ichard Millman, vice president of Academic/ Affairs wrote in his last E-mail transmission. Professor DavidAvalos responded: "At what point should we be limited from using the E-mail to communicate: three persons, four, four hundred? "Could you please provide us with a list of what your office considers 'appropriate' subjects for E-mail communication,'' Avalos also asked. As CSUSM strives to become the university of the 20th century, the Email debates will truly challenge its character and the lengths to which it will go to ensure free speech.

"I think most of us feel that sexual orientation should not be recognized as a special right," Christensen said, adding that the club is still undecided how far they want to take the issue. "Some want to sign the other nondiscrimination policy as a sign of protest," he said. "If worse came to worst, we would pursue legal action."

He expressed his enthusiasm and the years of preparation was finally rewarded as the university accepted its first students. But in the first three years of CSUSM, the administration here has lost sight of Stacy's exciting vision. The university has set a precedent of not listening to the student population on key issues and is now not treating the student voice with the respect and professionalism it deserves. O UR VIEWS Feminist movement with a new twist Before you read this editorial, I think it is important that you understand my position on the women's movement I believe that women have and are currently not given the same opportunities in this world aswhite men. Women are smarter and possess a greater depth of understanding than men (generally speaking). I do not believe, however, that women are better than men. I do not think that men are better than women either. Both sexes represent unique parts of what should be an equal race. The Mission Statement at CSUSM advocates global and gender sensitivity. Unfortunately, some women have interpreted the Mission Statement as a declaration of war upon white males. I continually see a disturbing trend toward militant feminism with students at this university that Ifindto be socially dangerous. Many are falsely led to believe that the extreme, male-hating fringe of the feminist movement represents a status quo of feminism. The movement suggests that all males are gynephobic, or harbor a natural and complete contempt for women. Gynephobic males are subconsciously certain that women will someday rise up and knock them off their throne of social dominance. They have a universal contempt for women that is socially and possibly genetically ingrained in their beings. As a result males will continue to degrade women in order to shackle them to the lower rungs of the social ladder. Every move a man makes is intended to subdue and degrade women. Certainly there must be some exceptions to the rule of universal gynephobia. I'm sure there are more than a couple gynephobic males climbing the ivory towers of corporate America I am also certain that such men represent as small afractionof society as the militant feminists. Yet, there is an indication in this university that most women should blame men for all social problems and rise up against them. Some women are possessed with gandrynoia, a fear that behind every bush or societal construct lurks a contemptuous male animal. The problem with the militant feminist philosophy lies in its extreme hatred toward males. I remember seeing a militant feminist film in class where women justified murdering males only because they were males. Although the instructor said she did not advocate such actions nor support this kind of extremist feminism, the approval rating of the movieby women in the class was shockingly high. L ARRY B OISJOLIE PIONEER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF If a Ku Klux Klan film were shown iri a class I doubt it would meet similar approval. Yet both types of films feed on the hate of extremism and a dvocate v iolenceasamethod of e radicating gender or racial fears. This university should in no way support or encourage its instructors to advocate a militant feminist philosophy just as it should not support endorsing the skinhead movement or sexual discrimination. Hatred is wrong regardless of where it may be directed. An instructor who advocates racism would be relieved of teaching responsibilities at this university. So should an instructor who advocates the violent fringe of the feminist movement. Currently the radical feminist sector hides behind the doctrine of Political Correctness for protection. The P.C. philosophy suggests that equality can be achieved only by establishing quotas and undermining the historical impact of white males upon this society. lit suggests that no punishment is too great for the past repressions executed by white males. The P.C. movement inherently discriminates against white males. It is fascism in its purest theoretical form. Anyone who does not subscribe to P.C. rhetoric is automatically assumed to be a bigot and a woman-hater. Its ability to accept and interpret actions is no less subtle than McCarthyism. Let us not confuse the aspirations of this university's Mission Statement with the flawed, discriminatory doctrine of Political Correctness. CSUSM's Mission Statement does not condone discrimination toward anybody by any class of people. Contrary to P.C. beliefs, this includes white males. The greatest power of education lies in its ability to generate I fwe & it this institution with the thought that all are equal except white males, we have failed the primary lesson of CSUSM. STAFF EDITORIAL Students were caught off guard in 1990 when it was reported that Student Evaluations of teachers were notread by the administration. At that time, the Academic Senate had not had the adequate amount of time to properly prepare the evaluation forms to satisfaction; instead, the submitted forms were returned to die teachers for their personal growth. Theadministration said theevaluations would be looked at in future reviews. But have they? Inside sources say no. Recently, the issue of free speech became prevalent with the placement of the Mission Statement Day board. Students were not consulted when the board was ordered to be removed from die Dome area nor were the asked their preference prior to the university's decision to appoint the officialfreespeech area. The students rose up with a force and power never before seen at CSUSM. They wanted to be heard. In shock, the administration stopped to listen. Now the issue is stuck in committee—but the board is still standing in the Dome. Last week, however, the administration refused to listen to the students' voice. In fact, the university is playing a name-calling game and attacking student comments as innuendo and hearsay. How dare you. If the administration is not willing to take the students concerns seriously, then how do you expect the same respect back? How can you ignore the complaints by trying to brush them aside with slanderous remarks? It is even more astonishing when the issue is not of voice orrights,but valid complaints of sexual discrimination. This newest issue deals with the lack of a grievance | policy. Because there is no such policy on campus, several student complaints of sexual discrimination have been buried, ignored or just tossed aside. If they would have been handled with respect and professionalism of truly concerned educators, then a grievance policy would have been drafted. It would have been drafted then, not now months later. Slowly but surely, the administration's toss of student interestisonaroll—andit's gaining speed. Stop! Get your noses out of the architectural blueprints of this campus and pay attention towhat you'rebuilding. This university must revitalize its commitment to the students or there soon may not be anyone interested in attending this fledgling campus. �OPINION 7 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 7,1992 /piONEER Readers write to defend homosexuals Gays do not chose their lifestyle, despite claims I applaud Jonathan Young's editorial in the issue of O ct 7 concerning support for gay rights.

A THOUGHTS "Livelong and prosper." Spöck, f rom ' Star Trek' FRED TRACEY/VISTA RESIDENT Biblical beliefs don't belong in sexual debates In the last issue of Pioneer, Nov. 3, an article by a professor Irving F. Davis appeared. For those of you who may not have read it, you have missed out on a virulent attack upon the gay, lesbian and bi-sexual community that was inspired by nothing more than irrational homophobia, ignorance, and blatant religious bigotry. The Alternative Lifestyles Support Organization, A.L.S.O, was accused of using Qxning Out Day to, "espouse its homosexual views.* Y OUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM What Coming Out Day is all about, and what AJL.S.O. was trying to accomplish, was simply stating that we have a right to exist, to live out our lives, and that there is nothing wrong with who we are, but that the problem is rather with individuals who want to persecute us because of who we are. Another fault with professor Davis' argument is that ours is a chosen lifestyle. He is only partially correct I knewfromthe time that i was 12-years-old that I had homosexual feelings. To me, and others like me, the only choice was whether to accept these feelings, and forge honest loving relationships with like minded individuals, or to live a life of denial,filledwith self hatred because of something I , or anyone, has no control over, and that is our sexual orientations. Those of you who aie purely heterosexual, who have never had any doubt over your sexual orientation, can testify to this. It would be as impossible for you to lead a happy homosexual lifestyle as it was for me to lead a happy heterosexual one! The Constitution of the United States of America states clearly thatfreedomof religion shall be the law of the land, there in the First Amendment. Yet at every turn various homophobes are using their religious codes, that of the Bible, to enforce their religious bias against me, and claiming all along that theirs s the traditional "American Views." By doing this, these right wing fundamentalist are being in essence, unconstitutional and un-American. Furthermore, by claiming that the Bible has more proven true for over 2,000 years us also a fallacy, for this text claims that the Earth is flat, and that it is only a mere 6,000 years old. Both of these views have been proven untrue, along with a whole host of others that would take too long to detail, not to mention that the Bible represents only one of the world's many diverse religions. Let us recognize what this professor Davis, from another campus not this one I should add, is proposing. This article he has written is filled with nothing more than hatred. If you doubt this, simply change the word "gay" to the word "Jew," or "African American," and the bigotry becomes obvious. Let us not censor these views, instead let us hold the pundits of these views accountable for what they say and believe. Let us not attack personally the holder of these views, but instead limit our attack to the views themselves. Let us recognize most of all, that this article was inspired by a fear born of ignorance. When people are a ffronted by something they don't understand!*they often feel afraid, and this may cause them to lash out with any weapon, either physical or ideological, that s available. Itisbecauseof this ignorance and fear that all of us must wage a constant war of information, both within our communities and within ourselves, to make each of us knowledgeable of our diversity, so that we do no become fearful of i t We must challenge hatred and fear whenever we encounter it. Only then will we be, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "Free at last!" D ONALDP, SCOTT/CSUSM STUDENT Financial Aid should be available to immigrants We strive for the best, we jump every obstacle that gets in our way and yet we are denied the opportunity to succeed. Recently Gov. (Pete) Wilson vetoed a piece of legislation that would have granted immigrant students access to higher education be allowing them eligibility for financial aid. Assembly Bill 3S2S would have required the California Student Aid Commission to comply with student residency determinations made by the public universities for the purpose offinancial aid eligibility. His veto of this bill makes the dreams of many immigrant students prohibitively expensive. All our lives we've heard our parents, our teachers and even Gov. Wilson give great speeches about the importance of a college education. With their words they urge use to stay in school and to help our community by helping ourselves. They constantly tell us that hard work and perseverance will make us better leaders of tomorrow and that with our help we will see progress for our nation. Over and over that say to us: [Youarethefutureofthisnation." What kind of future will this nation have if we a re being denied the opportunity of obtaining the college education?

As the voyages of the starship Enterprise warp into its sixth season, its mission remains intact as the television series goes where no other syndicated show has gone before: No. 1. "Star Trek: The Next Generation" has finished as the top original program in syndicated television for thefirstfour weeks of this season. That performance puts the sciencefictionspin-off of the original "Star Trek" in the No. 6 slot against the major networks, according to its studio, Paramount "One of the reasons people are taking notice is because for yet another year, there's nothing that compares," Janeen Bjork, a television sales programmer, told the Los Angeles Times recently. "I mean, there's a whole lot of action hours out there that try and never come close." A Paramount promotional clip boasts, "In 1991, the series sets record highs and is blasting ahead of such shows as "Cheers," "L.A. Law" and the all-time network heavy champion: Monday Night Football." Star Trek was created by Gene Roddenberry, who supervised thefirstthree and only seasons for the original series. After being cancelled in 1969 there was an array of successful motion pictures, and Roddenberry started up in 1986 with "The Next Generation." After Roddenberry's death last year, Executive Producers Rick Berman and Michael Pillar have taken the helm and continue to navigate the crew in search of new life and civilizations. But why has the sciencefictionshow become so popular? There are many reasons, one being a great following being built up before "ST:TNG~even began. "I think more than ever, as television continues to change, and continues to give the audience new and different types of programming, there's something wonderful about the familiarity of Star Trek," Berman said in the Times. "The familiarity of the show has always been a key element" The new Enterprise is truly similar to the original series, but the new episodes contain several elements that make it a distinct winner over its predecessor. One of those factors is there are families aboard the starship. "(Star Trek) deals with a family of people in a future that's much better than the present," Berman said. That family characteristic is what drew Ronald Moore to the series. Moore, now Co-Producer for the show, started his Star Trek writing career four years ago with an episode entitled "The Bonding." "I wanted to know what happens on the Enterprise with all these families. At that point, "the series didn't deal too much with the fact that there are all these spouses and kids," Moore said." I wanted to know what happens when a little boy has his mother killed on an Away Team mission." Moore told of his many dealings with "ST:TNG" at San Diego's Star Trek Convention last week. His stories gave interesting insights into the science fiction legend. One special one for him was his collaboration on "First Contact," an episode where the Enterprise crew meets a new civilization. His contribution was that he changed the point of view of the story p lot "Instead of telling the story traditionally from the point of view from die people on the Enterprise, we told the entire storyfromthe view of the aliens for a change," Moore said. "It's an explanation of what i t's like when a civilization is first visited by aliensfromouter space who land and want to sleep with their nurses." Moore is credited with creating the Klingon Empire starting with the "Sins of the Father" episode. "It was the beginning of the Klingon epic that I became associated with," he said. The Klingons are a barbaric, ruthless civilization bordering on Federation space. In the original series and throughout five of the six movies, the Klingons were enemies. In SEE SERIES/PAGE 10 /AVAW PIONEER/TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17,1992 �Blast off with the original cast on video tapes SHEILA COSGROVE/PIONEER There's a rule of thumb to follow when rating Star Trek films. The even-numbered ones are top-of-the-pack action adventures. The odd-numbered ones suck moon dust For some reason, the oddnumbered Trek films fail to capture that essence which made the television series so successful—the mixing of endearing personalities with intergalactic social problems. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," although rich in special effects, was a universal bore. The special effects were definitely out-ofthis-world, but the story dragged on two and a half hours. Filmed only a few years after "Star Wars," "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" is stuck on the special effects trash barge. It concentrates on lengthy shots of the unimaginable rather than dwelling on the endearing characters that made the television series so successful. Still, it was good to see the old crew back again after losing them to the great unknown for over a decade. In comparison to many of the other Trek flicks, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" lacks depth and originality. It tries to speak to a basic issue of humanity through glitz and not the characterizations that Trekkies grew so fond of. Three years later, in 1982, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" hit the screens with a power deserving of the series. Thefilmplaces the ageless Ricardo Montalban in the role of Kirk's superhuman adversary Khan. Although Kirk had banished Khan to a desolate planet many years ago, the villain resurfaces with a vengeance. "The Wrath of Khan" draws from Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" in its depiction of a man obsessed above all else to conquer and destroy his lifelong rival. In his quest to kill Kirk, Khan sacrifices his chance for universal conquest Spiner's Data gives meaning to 'life' as series seeks out new epilations would like it, he is simply a machine and that's that way it is.

(Dorn plays the Klingon Waif and Patrick Steward plays Captain Picard) Spiner speaks highly of his coworkers, especially his fellow actors.

"We didn't see mucli of the Klingons in the original series and the movies. I mean we didn't see much of what the culture was like, their beliefs and values," Moore said. "This was that opportunity to explore them." Moore introduced an array of Klingon characters including Worf, Worf s son Alexander, and the child's mother Kalar. But Moore is also the writer who killed Kalar in the series. "Everyone asks: 'Why did you kOl Kalar?' " he said. "Because it was fun," Moore answered. He continued to explained that Kalar had a strong following and was a good character. "That's why it worked. It's a powerful moment in the show," he recalls. "Everybody in the audience cannot wait for Worf to go and rip that guy's (who killed Kalar) throat o ut" Characters often come and go on the show. Gates McFadden, who -plays-Dn Beverly Gusher, left-fora the bridge and lost his balance and went through the wall of the bridge.

"I keep hearing so much stuff about what Marina said, that I don't know where she got it," Spiner retaliated. "At least I tell you when r I'm lying." The Sirtis version tells of when keep asking me that question (about the dog). And that's because Marina precedes us at all these conventions. We come back on Monday and we ask: 'What practical jokes?' " The practical jokes, as coined by Sirtis, plagued the original series cast throughout the first seasons and continued throughout the movies. But Spiner hasn't seen the same pranks with the "ST:TNG" crew. "We just don't do practical jokes," Spiner said. ' That's not to say that it's a not a very rambunc- "We just don't do practical jokes.

A bold, new series of characters and adventures comes to thefinalfrontier when "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" premiers. Paramount studios will introduce the newest Star Trek saga as a continuation of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." As the hit syndicated television series enters its sixth season at the top of the charts, its future is still unknown. That's where "Deep Space Nine" comes in. 'There's going to be a lot of crossover because it occurs in the same time as 'The. Next Generation," a spokesman for Creation Entertainment said. "In fact, in the first episode, the Enterprise will be bringing members of Deep Space Nine to the space dock to take their post there." Deep Space Nine is an outpost in a solar system inhabited by a I civilization known as the Bajor. The' Starfleet crew will occupy the space station to bring peace between the Bajoran society and its neighbors, the Cardassians. "We became aware of the Bajoran society (in 'The Next Generation'),"Creation said. "The ancient world of Bajor is a star system that will be of pivotal importance. "For the last century or so, the Bajorans have been subjugated by the evil Cardassians. We are familiar with the Cardassians as well and they are going to be the new bad guy in the same way as the Klingons and the Romulans. Now it's going to be the Cardassians." And if playing peacekeeper isn't enough, the Federation cast has another galaxy-size problem to deal with. 'There is an amazing astronomical phenomenon located at the edge of the Bajoran solar system: a stable wormhole," Creation continued. 'This wormhole is unique in that it is totally stable. "So, the race is on to control the wormhole." 'Travellers of all kinds are drawn here, and with hostile alien empires on all sides, Deep Space Nine becomes the most strategic post in the galaxy," Dan Madsen said in Star Trek: The Official Fan Club magazine.

The Star Trek Association for Revival club is the largest science fiction society in the San Diego area. The club was founded in 1972 as a Star Trek club and has since expanded to become a general sciencefictionclub with interests in fantasy, gaming costuming, writing and films. S.T.A.R. meets the third Saturday of every month at San Diego State University. Each meeting has a different theme, from Star Trek to Star Wars. Club business, entertainment, costume contests, auctions, films and games are part of the monthly meetings. With almost 100 active members, S.T.A.R. is open to anyone. There is a $1 lifetime membership fee. To join, call 286-0377. Starfleet Based identical to the Federation of Planets organization portrayed in the Star Trek series, Starfleet is a national organization with a local chapter called Shuttle Miramar. Starfleet is a Star Trek fan club with a two-fold purpose: to provide a vehicle for Star Trek-based entertainment; and a means for those fans to do community service thus doing their part to bring about the better future envisioned by Star Trek. Members joins Starfleet, and earn officer rank by gaining points in numerous ways.

Its motto is, "We have a life" and have a focus geared towards the true meaning of Star Trek. "We do what the original Star Trek was created to do," said Timothy Dover, the founder of the local group. "What he want it to be a message of humanity. Using the Star Trek theme, the organization spends most of its time doing community service, from assisting libraries to a new project with the Muscular Distrofy Association. Although the group does attend the Star Trek conventions, he says the group doesn't like to entertained as much as they like to do the entertaining. <c We are the doers of the Trek world." Dover said. To contact this group, call the North County Star Trek Fan Association at 738-3794 The biggest fun of "The Wrath of Khan" is the characters themselves. Captain Kirk is growing old and in need of glasses and Spock makes the greatest sacrifice of all, his life, in the name of logic. "The Wrath of Khan" may not be the best Star Trek movie, but it is my favorite because of the explosive dynamics between the characters. Unlike the first film, the special effects are good, but not overbearing. In "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," Leonard Nimoy stepped apart from his famous role into the director's chair. If I led you to believe that all odd-numbered Star Treks are poor, then this one is an exception. ' The Search for Spock" is not a poor movie, just a mediocre one. The movie takes off where number twofinished,with the death of Mr. Spock. The crew of the Enterprise hijacks a spaceship in search of their friend, who may yet be alive. Christopher Lloyd plays yet another Klingon (Kruge) wishing the death of Captain Kirk, The movie's high point is the climactic fisticuff battle between Kruge and Kirk on surface of a self-destructing planet I don't mean for this film to sound better than it really is. Without Spock through most of the movie, "Star Trek 111" seems without enthusiasm and logic. "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" is by far the quirkiest of all the Trek films. The movie minces old Star Trek formulas with a healthy amount of humor. Even NINE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 Following in the footsteps of Captains Kirk and Picard, Avery Brooks takes command as Benjamin Sisko, captain of Deep Space Nine. "There are all kinds of new terms and ideas," Avery said about his new job. "But I'm a rookie, I'm learning... this is my first time here." Brooks' character already has a grudge against his predecessor, "Sisko was stationed aboard the USS Saratoga when Locutus (Captain Picard as a Borg) came blowing through and Sisko's wife was killed," Creation said. "Sisko has a thing against Captain Picard because Picard as Locutus saw the death of Sisko's wife." Patrick Stewart will guest star in the two-hour premiere of DS9 as Locutus, according to Madsen. Stewart isn't the only "ST:TNG" cast member to be seen on Deep Space Nine. Colm Meaney will continue his portrayal of Miles O'Brien in DS9 — permanently. "In a cross over from The Next Generation, Colm Meaney is becoming the chief of operations on DS9," Creations said. "So O'Brien takes over in Scotty's footsteps dealing with all the engineering and technical problems aboard this alien vessel that has truly not been built to Federation specs. I t's going to have a whole different look." Other characters include, Rene Auberjonois ("Benson") as the shape-shifting security officer, Armin Shimerman ("Beauty and the Beast") as a Ferengi, Siddig El Fadil, Terry Farrell, Cirroc Lofton and Nana Visitor.

CflFTfiin 5 LOG non-Trekkies will find themselves chuckling and guffawing over some of the gags in this installment. Thé plot brings the crew of the Enterprise to modern-day Earth. Their vehicle is a Klingon Bird of Pray, a nifty-looking ship that has the ability to become invisible. The Enterprise crew must return two humpback whales to future Earth in order to save the planet from a menacing alien piobe. Even if this all sounds confusing, it is ever-so-much fun as the crew of the Enterprise try to adapt to modern San Francisco lifestyles. All I will say about "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" is that it isn't worth the money it takes to rent the video. Let's just hope that this film, whichmarked William Shatner's directorial début, will be his last. "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" is probably the best of the series. This installment provides a bridge between the old Trek series and the Next Generation. It fulfills its promise of finding the undiscovered country with its contemporary and provocative twist on the formulaic series. Here the Klingons stop being the enemies for the first time, in a storyline that could have been borrowed from the headlines as the Eastern Bloc fell. This is the most intelligent and applicable of all the Trek films. It sends us the lesson that peace is the most important state achievable by any race of beings. "Star Trek VI" is supposed to be the end of the series (just as Star Trek V was before it). I can think of no better place for the film to end then on this high note. Besides, another movie would put us back to those bothersome odd-numbered films.

Kevyn Lattau was an aspiring Jazz singer performing in Del Mar. Gunnar was her base player. Bonnie considers that night her first date with Gunnar. Four years later, Bonnie and Gunnar married. Lattau sang at their wedding. Now, the Biggs work at Cal State San Marcos and Lattau became the Jazz star and is now enjoying the spotlight as she entersapfomotional tour for her new album, "Simply l ife." The three Mends were reunited last week as Bonnie introduced Lattau before the singer electrified GSUSM with her energetic Jazz music. Lattau established her credentials as an experienced and truly talented singer with "Prelude to a Kiss." With only a soft accompaniment by Bill Cantos on the piano, Lattau soothed the audience and prepared them for a memorable concert. The entire band kicked in with an adapted and energetic version of "I get a Kick Out of You." Lattau showed her amazing scattering in this selection. In the Cole Porter composition, she took a Charlie Parker scatter solo and matched its notes, style and rhythm. Further, Lattau did what would seem impossible: she added lyrics to the complicated repertoire. Lattau scaled the octaves with ease. She had the speed of a fox an her tone is as soft as rabbit's fur. It definitely moved the audience. "I pick music that moves me," Lattau said after her concert. " I really don't like to define my style. I like a lot of variety." And she sings a wide selection of music.— from Jazz, to Pop to Brazilian. Besides numerous styles, Lattau also has several messages in her music. This becomes prevalent with "Will They Know?", a song she wrote. "My goal is I want people to go SEE JAZZ/PAGE 16 ACCENT 13 Artists in Residence Ensemble brings music of Andes as university's own performing group EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a twopart series about Artists in Residence. A NITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/PIONEER Throughout Cal State San Marcos' brief history as a university, the students have been fortunate enough to participate in a rich array of musical and theatrical events. Now, that unique artistic experience has been expanded as the university officially recognizes two groups as being Artists in Residence. To Bonnie Biggs, Coordinator of Public Services, the title Artist in Residence proves CSUSM's commitment to the arts, and to the dissemination of information about, and the performance of, the arts. In other words, Biggs says, "We are willing to share the goodies (with the whole community)." Also serving as the campus' librarian, Biggs was hired to develop a cultural arts program, even in the absence of musical faculty. "All librarians should be cultural archivists," she said. "We are responsible for promoting the arts and creating venues for the arts." One of her recent programs includes scheduling a performance by the new Artists in Residence. That group, the Cal State San Marcos Andean Ensemble, will perform Dec. 1 at noon in Room 14-102. Music presented will be from Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, performed on original instruments from the region. The ensemble is under the direction of Dr. Don Funes, Professor of Visual and Performing Arts. He serves as one of the Artists in Residence at CSUSM. Both artists in residence, Funes and W. Komla Amoaku, teach ethnomusicology, the study of non-European music within a sociocultural context They both have been going to local schools, to "engage kids in the activity," Biggs said. Funes and Amoaku tell elementary, junior high and high schools that CSUSM is their school and that they, the students, are wanted and expected to attend the new university. Now, however, the distinction of Artist in Residence will help fund these community a Dr. Don Funes performs at the International Festival withctivities, as well as help pay for rehearsals of their campus ensembles. the C U M Andean Ensemble. SS Funes came here in 1989 from Northern Illinois University, where he had been chairman of the music department for 11 years. Funes asked Biggs to help him find Peruvian or Bolivian musicians for him when he arrived. Not an easy task, but musicians were found who had an "affinity for the music", says Biggs. Both Funes and Amoaku have CSU student ensembles made up of some students "who have never held a musical instrument in their hands," Biggs said. With funding cutbacks in the area of public schools, a child's normal interest in music in the early years goes unsatisfied for the most part, as the arts are thefirstto be c ut ART/MUSIC But with the presentations of Funes and Amoaku, "It's magic to watch it happen — the way these two instructors bring students and audiences alive with the performance of music," Biggs said. "It breaks down barriers that other disciplines do not." Funes says that he is in California, "trying to empower the Latino children in the schools — making a generally positive association between the university and the community." The outreach function is very real to Funes; it is a part of the cultural life of both the school and the community. This function is aimed at the diversity of the population, and includes going to the community colleges and energizing and vitalizing the classes on campus, by bringing his own group into classes to teach, perform and conduct workshops Funes said that he was instrumental in "mapping out a plan of action for how the arts would grow here" and in the hiring of David Avalos and Amaoku in his second year. He helped write the mission statement for a global arts program and is very involved with his Andean music group Chasqui. His philosophy is that the university doors should swing both ways — professors need to get off campus and we need to bring community people on campus — to honor traditional music in thefieldand then to bring it back NEW ERA •• • • SEE ARTIST/PAGE 15 �M usic C alendar Acoustic Mike Open Jam: Every Thursday starring at 7 p.m. at Bubba's Restaurant Escondido. 747-5330 Blues & Jazz Open Mike: Every Monday starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Metaphor Coffee House, Escondido. 489-8890 Blue Grass Monday: Every Monday at 7 p.m. at the Del Dios Country Store, Escondido. 745-2733 Joe Ely: Performs Nov. 17at830 p.m. atthe Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach. 481-9022 C.W.

S ANTA F E, V ISTA said, "that could come into the classroom. They have expertise in their own culture. They are what musicologists call 'informants* — they can inform us about their culture. (It is) more interesting to students to be informed from real informants rather thanfrombooks, whenever possible. "One of the reasons I started playing the music of Latin America," Funes continued, "was because I was attracted to the Spanish language." Because his family is Spanish (the town of Funes is northeast of Madrid, Spain) he was attracted to music that was in Spanish. "I met a musician from Peru and the rest is history," he said. "I fell in love with the music and the culture and it must have resonated in my psyche somewhere." The Andean music his group Chasqui plays includes Chilean and Bolivian. "Most of my work's been done in Bolivia and I was music director of a Bolivian group in Chicago for six years," Funes said. "They taught each other to play," he said. "Bolivia is one of the most traditional countries in Latin America. Seventy-five percent are Indian and Mestizo... a lot of native people have maintained traditions there, whereas countries like Argentina and Chile are essentially European countries. English, Irish Catholics, Germans and Italians, very few indigenous people," he said. Actually, Funes says that it is not he who is the Artist in Residence, but rather the musicians who are considered artists in residence. "I have my standard academic responsibility of teaching classes," he explained. "So for me it hasn't elevated my status because I have always played concerts on campus." But for the Artists in Residence, it's given them a stature at the university, a recognition. "Three of the musicians primarily live by playing music," Funes said. "I think it's also a very important signal to the community they live in that the university honors traditional artists, that the university has a place for traditional musicians whether they've been trained in universities or not. "And actually the music we all p lay... there's only one or two places in the United States where you can even study this music," Funes said. "The University of Texas, Florida State University, University of Illinois and Cal State San Marcos are the only schools I know of in the country that have some kind of experience for students in Andean music. "We judge these musicians based on the quality oftheir expression rather than thequality of their degree or their education. They're educated in the field. They're educated within their culture."

A NITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/PIONEER "This is a unique university — that's what brought me here." The speaker is Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, Program Director of Visual and Performing Arts at Cal State San Marcos. 'That's the only reason I would make a change after being head of a department for 13 years" he continued in reference to his position in Ohio until August, 1991. "I didn't need to make a move and I had my own home. But something brought me here—it's a place that is determined to make a difference." He and Dr. Don Funes head groups which have recently been recognized as Artists in Residence. Amoaku's group is Sankofa. In addition to their classes on campus, they putin time atelementary and junior high schools —sometimes doing four assemblies in a day— telling children in the area that CSUSM has something different to offer them. "This is the most forward-looking university administration that I have had a chance to work with. On the campus itself the General Education requirements are so unique," Amoaku said, "You don't find those in any other institution. These requirements are notjust to fulfill college credits. "The world that we are looking atrightnow, the next century is not going to be a world that is pigeon-holed . .. if you're in business, it's going to have to be global business. If the company has to deal with a company in Africa, and you don't know anything about Africa, (you will be at a definite disadvantage)." Bonnie Biggs, Coordinator of Public ser- vices at CSUSM, believes in these "goodwill ambassadors," with their forms of non-traditional music. "Whereother universities have artists in residence, they are mostly concerned with traditional jazz or classical music," she said. "These are Anglo-Saxon ensembles which are very likely to perform a Chopin polonaise; whereas the ensembles which Funes and Amoaku direct are not elitist, producing sounds less familiar to audience members. "The music is also inclusive, inviting the audiA R T / M U S I C ence to join in the performance withclapping, singing or dancing." "Jazz in its present form is only related to Africa in its rhythmic structure, by harmonic structure it is not African," Amoako said. "When most traditional Africans hear jazz they are not really able to relate to it in its present form. Only the sophisticated are able to relate to it - they relate to those jazz styles which imply movement components or dance components. 44 The thing about African music is that there is always movement implied in the music. There is no definition for music, per se. The definition for dance is the definition for music, no distinction. Music coming to Africa from abroad that has that component of movement is very well received. After Amoaku got his masters degree in Illinois he went back to Ghana. He taught at the University of Ghana for two years. But he had tasted the life here, and had been very active NEW E RA P ••• • i here, and felt that the change of lifestyle was retarding his growth. "I received a fellowship from the University of Pittsburgh to enroll in the doctoral program. I transferred some credits from U of Ghana in 1973 andfinishedmy doctorate in 1975.1 was the first doctoral student at Pittsburgh in Ethnomusicology. Amoaku said that he has met with resistance in the past with regard to multicultural programs. "I've been in higher education in the United States for at least 18 years - spent most of my time in historically black institutions. (What) surprised me (was) the lukewarm response among academia in those days, about Africa. I was an outsider, they'd rather have an AfricanAmerican in that position than an African. "In spite of what I had to offer, no one was interested. And this was the Harvard or the Yale of the black institutions. What I have faced in this country as an African... who has survived in the system, is that I find more rejection in certain segments of my own people in visual and performing arts where we are supposed to have most of our Africanisms retained. "We (the university) are differentfromeveryone else," this is our focus, multicultural, respect for all culturéis in the world, we are determined to break down all those racial and cultural barriers so that we can learnfromeach other's cultures, that is basically what this whole thing is about. "There aren't many universities in the world where you'll find a program of this nature where you actually have artists in c idence who receive some stipend just to promote the university mission and to enhance the cultural SEE ARTIST/PAGE 4 Pioneer editorship to change hands as founders leave For thefirsttime in Cal State San Marcos' history, the leadership of the student newspaper will change with the appointment of a new Editor-in-Chief. Larry Boisjolie, who co-founded Pioneer in 1990 and has served as Editor-in-Chief since then, will step down at the end of this semester when he graduates from CSUSM. Jonathan Young, cofounder and Graphics Director, will also leave the publication. Replacing Boisjolie is Roman S. Koenig, who served as Editor-inChief at Palomar College's The Telescope for two years. He is currently attending CSUSM, majoring in Political Science, and has worked with Pioneer for the past semester. "This is a major turning point for Pioneer and the university," said Young. "Pioneer has earned therightto be called the 'Best Weekly College Newspaper is California.' Now the staff that elevated the publication to that status is leaving. It's sad to see an era come to an end. It's also exciting because a new erais" about to begin. I look forward to the new ideas and concepts that the new staff and editor will be bringing to CSUSM." "I am very proud to have been chosen as Larry's successor," said Koenig. "It feels good to know that both Larry and Jonathan have the confidence in me to carry on the tradition of excellence established by the two of them beginning in 1990. All three of us have worked together at The Telescope before, so I really feel at home coming to Pioneer." "Choosing a new editor is a difficult task," Young said. "But we knew that if Roman accepted the position, we would not have to worry about the newspaper's future." Boisjolie's plans include obtaining a writing position with a newspaper and possibly leaving the state. Young will remain in the area and serve as a consultant to Pioneer. With a staff of 25 students at one time, Pioneer has published 35 issues with two special sections in the past five semesters. Pioneer's staff also organized and hosted the 1992 California Intercollegiate Press Association Convention in April, a four-day conference which approximately 500 students from California and Nevada attended. "Attending a university like Cal State San Marcos is a once-in-alifetime experience, and l ean assure the students and staff of CSUSM that Pioneer will continue to provide the campus with a college newspaper that isfirstrate " Koenig said. �C ommittee W f orms A new group has formed at Cal State San Marcos called Committee W. The purpose of the organization is to foster balance, professional success, effectiveness, personal growth and well being; and to provide a voice for women's issues and concerns. All students, staff, faculty and administrators are invited to become members. Membership dues are $5 for students and $15 for non-students paid annually. This year, send checks made out to Committee W to Judy Taylor in Human Resources Management. For students who are interested in nominating a student to serve for one semester on the Executive Board, contact Patti Elenz-Martin in Student Developmental Services, Room 2-203, or call 752-4935. T ransferring s tudents i ncrease Continuing to meets its commitment to transfer students under California's higher education master plan, the California State University enrolls and graduates more community college transfer students than any other public senior institution in the state. The CSU awarded 80 percent of the baccalaureate degrees earned by students who transfered from a community college to a public senior institution between 1981 and 1990. At Cal State San Marcos, 27 percent of the population is transfer students from Palomar College with 11 percent coming from MiraCosta College. Miramar and Mesa colleges are also major feeders to the campus. 'The CSU has a commitment not only to enroll significant numbers of community college students, but to graduate them," said Harold Haak, CSU interim senior vice chancellor, academic affairs. "While it's always possible to. do better, we believe we are doing a good job of bringing the students into the system and then helping them make their way out." F ood D rive b egins The Associated Students Council has started the annual Cal State San Marcos Holiday Food Drive. Students are asked to donate non-perishable food. All donations will be given to the North County Inter-Faith Council. Boxes, decorated as presents, will be located in the Dome, the A.S. Office and in Academic Hall. The drive will continue until school ends this semester. For more information, contact the A.S. Office in the upper level of the Commons Building or call 752-4990.

F inal f all e dition This issue marks the final edition of Pioneer for the fall semester. Pioneer will resume publishing when school begins in the spring semester. Honors position filled as grievance policy finalized LARRY BOiSJOLIE/PiONEER Founding Faculty member K. Brooks Reid was officially appointed to the position of Honors Committee Chair Wednesday following recent protests by Associated Student President Laura Mitchell. Mitchell, who spoke at a Nov. 11 meeting of the Academic Senate, based her protests on two complaints filed by students who alleged that Reid demonstrated a bias toward males in his classes. The action spurred concerns and action over the absence of a student grievance procedure at CSUSM. Currently , the Academic Senate is finalizing a plan to air student grievances. Provisions outlining disciplinary measures resulting from upheld grievances still need to be written into the plan. The Academic Senate is expected to finalize the plan by the next meeting of the organization on Dec. 9. "I think it is a mistake making the appointment beforeagrievance policy is finalized," Mitchell said. "It sends a bad message to students about what this university is all about." On Friday Nov. 13, students spoke out in favor of Reid at the Associated Student Council meeting. At the meeting, Mitchell also presented a resolution to the council protesting the lack of a university grievance policy. The resolution states that students will not recognize appointments like Reid's if student input is not considered. The council agreed that the proposal needed refinement before official action would be taken. The resolution was sent back to an executive committee for rewording. Last Tuesday, 30-35 students and about 10 staff members met with Mitchell, Academic Vice President Richard Millman, Vice President of Student Affairs Ernest Zomalt and President of the Academic Senate Edward Thompson III to openly discuss a student grievance policy. According to Mathematics student Chuck Ward, who attended the meeting, the discussion concentrated on student concerns over the grievance policy and dealt little with complaints against Reid. Kelley Gebbie, a former student of Reid's and a member of the Math Club that the Founding Faculty member sponsors, said she sees no evidence that the instructor practices sexual bias toward males. "I think he's a very good and very tough instructor," Gebbie said. "Tough doesn't mean he's sexist" Gebbie said she thinks that Reid is being used as a scapegoat for student grievance policies. Ward, who has taken Reid for several classes, said that the instructor got caught in the middle of a situation that has careened out of control. "Brooks Reid didn't have anything to do with what Laura (Mitchell) wanted to accomplish " Ward said. "Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved through the spilled blood of someone who shouldn't have had blood spilled." Ward said, that by bringing up unsubstantiatedcharges of sexual bias at the Academic Senate meeting, Mitchell acted as judge, jury and prosecutor for Reid. Those accused of crimes in this country are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Ward said this construct does not apply with charges of sexual discrimination. Ward said that he saw no evidence of sexual bias toward males in Reid's classes. He said if bias were a factor than he probably would have gotten better grades. "Hejust doesn't operate that way," said Ward. "That kind of behavior is beneath him. He eats drinks and sleeps mathematics and tennis." Mitchell said Reid is not being singled out to help speed up the formation of a grievance policy. "I don't know the man," Mitchell said. "He is not my focus." Gebbie said that the complaints charging sexual bias may have been a reflection of socially ingrained perception of mathematics. She said that women have been traditionally raised to be not inclined toward math. Women students in the class may unknowingly have carried that bias to class with them and assumed a bias where none existed, said Gebbie. She said she saw no indication that Reid subscribed to that traditional sociological bias. "I didn'tfindhim sexist in class," Gebbie said. "I found him to be brilliant."

"Artists in Residence is a separate program with a multifaceted intention - first of all culturally to link the university with the community. "Secondly, to link the visual and performing arts programs on the campus with the artists in the community. A direct link there will serve a number of purposes, such as enhancing faculty research, in the areas of African music and Andean music, working directly with experts who earn their living at music." The stipend from Artists in Resi- C LUB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 meeting. "I think that we had decided the A.S. would not consider alternatives . .. because we did make the motion that alternative not be considered," Mitchell said. "If Rob does bring one to our meeting, it probably would not be looked at favorably." If no alternative is found, then the dence helps to offset the cost of that link by supporting the role of the musicians in his group Sankofa. The stipend also helps to present the university mission to the people, which is one of the primary aims of CSUSM. "For me Sankofa is a mode of expression and what I do in Sankofa, I also do in the classroom, so Sankofa is simply an extension of my academic activities. That is why I think it is very important that this group be maintained—both the Andean group and Sankofa. "A Hispanic can identify with the Andean group. And if an African or an African-American can hear Sankofa and identify something that is meaningful to him, then this campus is his home." College Republicans will face the same dilemma again next semester. "If the alternative non-discrimination statement is allowed for any club to sign, then this whole controversy is over," Christensen said. "If it is not and the problem is going to continue to exist, the college republicans are going to have to deal with i t" Since Christensen is graduating at the end of this semester, he will not be able to work with those dealings.

Before my return to college I was a manager fen: a grocery store. I was dumbly happy and making a lot of money, until I was unfairly proclaimed as "guilty" by a polygraph of a theft I did not commit Needless to say, I was crushed. It is difficult to comprehend the sanctity and fragility of our own reputations until we find them squashed by functions beyond our control. Humans are creatures of dignity. Once that dignity i s breached, irreparable damage may be done to the precious self. My psychiatrist said I came to journalism to find truth and to protect others from the damages of harmful falsities. Until last issue of Pioneer, I felt I had taken great steps toward the achievement of my goals. In the last issue I penned a story about a conflict over student grievance policies. The issue arose during the Academic Senate's recommendation proceedings of Founding Faculty member K. Brooks Reid to the position of Honors Committee Chairman. Associated Students President Laura Mitchell protested the recommendation because student complaints over the instructor were not taken into account Apparently, some students alleged thatReid showed favoritism toward males in his classes. What bothers me about this whole situation is the willingness of many to condemn Reid and proclaim his guilt The man has contributed an enormous amount of academic energy to the foundation of this university, yet people are willing to denounce him based on what could LARRY BOISJOLIE PIONEER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF very well be student misperceptions. The saying that "you cannot please all of the people all of the time" holds especially true for the thankless jobs of college professors who must instruct classes filled with up to 4 0 separate eager-to-learn individuals. I would guess that there is not one instructor in this entire university who has received all favorable responses from students. Many instructors have even had a few complaints filed by students who were not satisfied with their grades. The underlying problem with the whole situation rested in the lack of a student grievance policy. Mitchell was correct in challenging a system which overlooked the needs of students so callously. Grievance policies protect students from tyrannical professors who score students in manners contrary to the ethical doctrines of higher education. They also protect instructors from character assassination by dissatisfied students. xThe Academic Senate^pushed the forming of a g rieyi^e g pl^y^i^faritqq l png.It^oniy a matter of time before the issue manifested itself as a tangible and uncomfortable situation. The situation, in this instance, became problematic when fliers were posted about campus denouncing the Academic Senate's recommendation for the Honors Committee. These fliers bred the assumption of guilt-by-twisted-logic to an unknowledgeable student population. The kind of logical connections made by flier readers progressed as follows: The university had no grievance policy in place to air legitimate student concerns; therefore the university represented an anti-student constituency; so if the university recommends someone to a position of honor, that person must be anti-student because, by inference, all university decisions are anti-student ones. Since the university recommended someone to a position of honor without taking into account student complaints (which are assumed legitimate because the university did not consider them and by nature the university i s anti-student s o nonconsidpration by the university equals legitimacy) that person must thusly represent the university and be, in conclusion, guilty of crimes against students because he has two complaints filed against him. Such a logical paradigm is paranoiac and not constructive to this university's goals and functions. It disquiets me when students assume an adversarial position against an institution formed solely for their personal betterment The fliers distributed around campus and a table asking for student signatures may have been advanced because of the lack of a grievance policy, but they showed little regard for the These implements irresponsibly assume guilt and hold Reid as a type of sacrificial lamb over the altar of student concerns. I believe that the integrity of one individual As far too sacred to sacrifice for any cause ... even one as noble as a grievance policy. Reid was recommended for the Honors Chair position because nobody else wanted the job. He has already invested a great deal of time in the formation of a program without receiving formal recognition. He is the logical choice for the position and should be considered heavily. If he gains that post, in which he has already served, than it is because of his merits and not because of a university conspiracy. Richard Millman, CSUSM's academic vice president held a forum to air student concerns and has vowed to take student input under consideration. I do not apologize for my treatment of last issue's story. I toiled a great deal over the work to represent fairly all parties to the best of my journalistic abilities. Still, it disturbs me when people make harmful judgements without due process of law based, in part, on information received through one of my stories. It is not my place as a journalist to tell people not to make judgements based on my conveyance of information; but when the sanctity of a man's reputation is breached without factual discourse, then I must object If this situation ends with the formation of a grievance policy, all parties represented in this university will benefit If Reid is improperly judged in the process we, as a university, are no better than the unthinking, irrational machine ^that caused me such pain and anguish. �Students respond to accusations of discrimination, non-discrimination policies and campus voice Supporting math professor Pai State San Marcos IONEER C San Marcos, CA 92096 (619)752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young CONTRIBUTORS: Sheila Cosgrove, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Mik James Hamada, David Hatch, Roman S.

VICE PRESIDENT Student voice in jeopardy Students beware, your voice is in jeopardy! Your studentbody president is malcing decisions for you, focusing on the negative. After attending a recent student meeting with your student body president, I'm perplexed. Does the student government represent student voice on campus, of has a special interest group, an associated students "club" organized? When a classmate offers an opinion in an open forum, and is told by the student body president, "Speak to me in private," I become concerned. When three valued members of the university each address an issue, and try to approach a discussion in a positive manner, and the whiner continues to express negativity, monopolizing the agenda, I become anhoyed. In my opinion, when the president of the student body cannot represent majority interest in a legitimate, genuine manner, the openness and caring of this university are jeopardized. I wish the president of the student body and her colleagues would reread the Mission Statement in their catalog. Trust is a major issue here, and I urge each of you to make your voice known.

The American Red Cross b elieves that preparedness planning is essential and nave compiled the following check l ist B y LARRY B OISJOLIE PIONEER STAFF WRITER California is a state on the move . .. literally. In the aftershock of June's twin temblors andFriday'sBigBearquake, concerns over earthquakes are high throughout the state and millions now live in fear that the "big one" will come and leave their lives in ruin. Dr, Steven Spear, associate professor in Earth Sciences at Palomar, is a nearby expert on earthquakes who predicts the "big one" is due any time. "It will hit sometime in the morning during the spring between Anza and Palmdale." According to Spear, the quake will take place along the San Andreas fault and will range from 8.0 to 8.5 on the Richter scale. T he June 16 Big Bear and Yucca Valley quakes registered 7.4 and 6.5 on the scale respectively.

But even though the q uakes stirred many a sound sleeper, they were not deemed as " big" quakes. "Anything over 7.5 is considered a large quake," Spear said. In urban areas, a quake ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 has the potential to be dangerous. Buildings built before 1971 were not subjected to the strict building regulations that are imposed today. "San Diego won* tbe as affected as other places in the event of a major earthquake," Spear said. The Whittier quake in 1987 caused much damage because buildings were older. Spear doesn't believe that San Diego will be the site of the "big one" because the ,area has a lack of large, active fault lines.' "The nearest big fault is the San Jacinto fault with the nearest point to San Diego m Borrego. A big quakeon that fauit will affect San D iego, however, I don't see it doing much damage here," said Spear. The larger of the June quakes, "Earthquake — The Big One" is a carefully staged natural phenortienop measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale at Universal Studios Hollywood. which s eismologists n amed the Landers earthquake after a tiny hamlet near the epicenter, had a preliminary magnitude of 7.4, the third biggest quake of the century in California. Only a 1952 Kern County quake measured at 7.7, and the 1906 San Francisco quake estimated at 7 .9 to 8.3 outrank it. By comparison, the October 1989 Loma Prieta, or World Series, quake had a magnitude of 7.1. One fault ofconcern to San Diegans is the Rose Canyon fault, which is responsible for several small quakes in the area. The fault line runs parallel to Interstate 5 and proceeds southward into the downtown area of San Diego. Due to the composition of the ground in the downtown area, the fault is potentially dangerous. "Much of the area is built on trace soil and loose ground," cited Spear. "A quake at 6.5 could be disastrous." He further points out that there is no recent history of major quakes on the Rose Canyon fault so the potential S ee QUAKES, P age 10 Universal recreates the 'Big One' The "Big one" is here — and it arrived in a big way. On March 18, 1989, Universal Studios Hollywood opened a multidimensional special effects attraction unlike any other ever created: a spectacular 8.3 earthquake. Imposing in scope and stunningly dramatic, "Earthquake" represents the world's first effort to recreate the most shattering phenomenon in nature. The o nly d ifferent b etween Mother Nature* s efforts and those of Universal is that tour guests will know their rattler is coming and if they like, return to experience "Earthquake's" thrills again. On hand to introduce the new attraction in 1989 wereCharlton Heston, Maijoe Gortner, Richard Roundtree and Monica Lewis, stars of the 1974 Universal feature, "Earthquake." In slightly more than two minutes, 200 times a day, seven days a week, ^Universal literally collapses the earth under tram-loads of people, trapping them in a murky netherworld of felled telephone p oles, sparking power cables, deafening train wrecks, noxfious gases and a runaway big-rig {crashed within inches of the tram shooting its "highly flammable' contents at the passengers. | According to "Earthquake's" producers, no detail has been overlooked in Universal Studios Hollywood's ^cataclysmic creation. Housed in a ¿gargantuan 25,000-foot sound stage, ¿the set even includes the omnipresent sounds of big city evening traffic. When the quake actually strikes, travelers view flickering lights resulting from power outages and experience the bone-rattling jolts from a twisting, shaking tram. All the while, they're dodging concrete columns tumbling between the tram cars. In reality, "Earthquake" is.a care- fully staged "natural" phenomenon utilizing state-of-the-art, newly created techniques to baffle and delight visitors caught in this tram temblor. It's been made possible by massive steel pilings sunk 25-feet into the ground and locked together by beams weighing 8,000 pounds each which enable the set to withstand the quake's 600,000-pounds of force. Exhaustive tests by top engineers have been conducted on all aspects of the attraction. Each minute detail has been considered by the engineers and then tested and retested utilizing everything from miniaturized scale models to simulators to determine all conceivable forces experienced. Naturally, the entire structure is constructed s o Universal Studios Hollywood's visitors can survive a quake — of the genuine variety that occur periodically in Southern California. mm xt jsju.1 jjiuuuid, aiay uiuuuid • If your outHborsrstay I n the open, away from trees, building, utility poles or signs. • Crouch under a heavy table or desk and hold onto it • If there is no protective furniture, crouch and balance yourself against an inside doorway or corner 1 1 After an Earthquake • Treat the injured with first aid • U se phones only to report emergencies • Put out small fires.

Local Cafe really rocks B y DJ2BBY D UFFY PIONEER STAFF WRITER If you're looking for what's really shaking in entertainment and food, The Earthquake Cafe, in San Marcos, is the "Big One" you've been awaiting. People entering the Earthquake are immediately greeted with friendly enthusiasm. The decor is 50s-sty le with bright pink and lime green as the primary colors. Stools, surrounding an oldfashioned soda shop counter, stand on a black and white checkered floor created just for dancing. Tables and booths fill the main dining area and, if one chooses to sit outside, there is a covered, heated patio. When I looked at the menu, I was shaken by the many items listed. The waitress suggested I try some of the Cafe's popular favorites. I started with the Crispy Fried Onion Strings. Sweet, thin Onions are delicately fried to a light crispness that makes the taste buds tremble with excitement. My companions and I decided to try the Tangshan Spring Rolls as another tempting appetizer. The treats were s o unusual, we needed coaching by the waitress on how to eat them . We took a spring roll, added ground peppers, celantro and Szechwan sauce and wrapped the works in a lettuce leaf. Few treats are as scrumptious as this. For a main course, my partners ordered a French Trench, which containsa wonderfully large amount of roast beef and Jack cheese on a French roll. The dish is served with a side of Au Jus and horseradish sauce. I split a Chilean BJackenedChicken Sandwich with one of my companions. The course contains a tender breast of chicken sprinkled with Cajun sauce. Lettuce, tomatoes, jack cheese and green chiles are added to the chicken and served on sourdough bread. The meals come with curly fries, sprinkled with a seasoned salt that added spice to the traditional fry we were expecting. The milk shakes are dispensed the old-fashioned way, with extra portions served on the side. They are delicious and caused me to rattle with excitement. Everything on the Earthquake's menu is creative and different. Even the names of the selections have an earth-shaking jolt to them. Food at the Earthquake Cafe is exceptionally delicious, although the prices can cause even the sturdiest of pocketbooks to quiver a bit. The service is enthusiastic and friendly, Jonathan Young/Pioneer and the atmosphere is resplendent. The Earthquake Cafe is located in Old California Restaurant Row in San Marcos. �Q UAKE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8/9 for a large one there is low. Near the San Onofre nuclear power plant lies the Christianitos fault Although the fault hasn't moved in 400,000 years, evidence of earth movement is clearly visible. 'There are hundreds of faults in North County," Spear said. "However, it is built between major fault zones on solid ground." In theeventofanearthquake,Spear said there is little to be done. "The time to act is within the first lew seconds of the quake, getting under a doorway is great in theory, but once the earthquake is underway, it is very difficult to move. It is best to stay where you are." Spear advises that afterwards it is best to stay "indoors if you are indoors when the quake strikes and outdoors if you are outdoors." Aftershocks are likely to hit, so moving may be hazardous. Being prepared when an earthquake strikes is the most important element in avoiding injuries. Spear advised that all people think ahead and prepare in advance for a quake. 'There are things you can do to minimize quakedamage," Spear said. "First, live away from fault zones." Shock waves come from the focus of a quake which is located somewhere along the fault line. As the distance from the focus increases, the intensity of the shock waves decreases. North County is not close to any major faults so, according to Spear, residents are relatively safefrom major earthquakes. . Next, Spear suggests that houses not be built on flat land. "Flat land is flat because it is composed of loose sediment, sand or gravel. These components vibrate much more and increase quake intensity." June's Big Bear quake may have been larger in magnitude than was the Landers quake, but the flat land of the desert propagated more damage than the mountainous terrain. Downtown San Diego is also built on loose ground and stands a greater chance of sustaining damage in the event of a major quake than North County, which is built on granite. Another danger, although rare, associated with loose sediment is ground liquefaction. During a major quake, vibrations can cause loose ground to actually liquify. Ground liquefac tion was noted in the intensely fatal Mexico City quake. y4.G "Live in a decent house," Spear urged. "Adobe, brick and masonry homes can fall apart during a quake. The brick and cement which holds it together vibrate at different frequencies. The difference in vibrations can cause a home to literally break apart." Brick houses built after 1971 have metal reinforcing due to stricter building codes. These houses are safer than non-reinforced houses and stand less of a chance of breaking up. Wood houses are the best due to flexibility. Wood vibrates in a more uniform manner than does adobe or masonry, thereby minimizing structural damage. Even though the fairytale pig with the brick house was safe from the big bad wolf, the pig with the wood house would fare best from the big one. "Avoid high shelving or placing heavy objects high," Spear advised. "I myself am guilty of having stereo speakers high on my wall." In the event of a quake, heavy objects tend to topple from shelves due to a high center of gravity. It is best to keep heavier objects closer to the ground where less damage can be done. "Finally," said Spear, "have a flashlight and a family plan ready. $450 Off Move-In!

In explaining earthquake causes, Spear relates the Earth to an egg. "The crust is like the shell of an egg, the mantle is like the white and the core is like the yolk. 'The mantle (white) moves slowly, constantly and builds stresses which cause the crust (shell) to break. The crust is composed of plates that connect at fault lines." When an earthquake occurs, the entire plate doesn't move; rather, it pivots on a point Thepoint of pivoting is known as the focus. "Quake intensity is measured by the depth of the focus and the distance to theepicenter. Rock type and ground water also contribute to intensity," Spear said. The goal of seismologists is to predict earthquakes with the same accuracy with which meteorologists predict weather. As of yet, that goal has not been realized. "Most common earthquake signs have been noticed only after the fact. Radon emissions from ground water are usually higher. Tidal pulls are also a contributing factor," cited Spear. Earthquakes also occur with a fairly consistent frequency. Many predict the San Andreas is ready to erupt based on this factor. Due to theseelements, some quakes have been predicted within a month ofactivity. As of yet, however, regular accuracy in prediction has not been reached. "It may be dangerous to accurately predict earthquakes," Spear said. "I can envision panic arising out of the news of a large upcoming quake." Nevertheless, Spear believes a "big one" is due. At nearby Palomar College, a seismograph i s used to measure Richter scale readings of larger tremors throughout the world 'The Richter scale is a reading of energy released at the focus," Spear said. "Each step on the scale is ten times higher than the previous step. A 6.5 quake releases more energy than all the nuclear energy in the world." The Palomar seismograph is capable of picking up any earthquake in the world over 5.0. A complete record is kept of all the larger quakes. "The seismograph here is the best in thecounty," Spear said "It is located further away from freeway noises and vibrations than others." Spear also is a member o f the California Earthquake society. The private club takes a semi-humorous approach to quake study and offers, among other things, therightto attend the earthquake of your choice. If the "big one" is the quake you least want to attend, you are likely to be safe. It most likely won't happen in North County. �12 P IONEER/TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1 992 Professionally Managed By: LINCOLN PROPERTY COMPANY CARE Smart Santas Shop Early!

C hristmas C arol Charles Dickens' classic tale is almost as old as Christmas itself. Theater-goers will have the opportunity this year to see a traditional version and some adaptations: • The San Diego Repertory Theatre enters its 17th year presenting Dickens classic, and again the theater company has revised its unique adaptation. This year's show includes a 10-voice gospel choir and a live band. The Rep's show starts Dec. 3 and will run through Dec. 26 with 8 p.m. performances Tuesday through Saturday and performances at 2 and 7 p.m. on Sunday; there will be no show on Christmas. Tickets are $16-$25. For more information, call 235-8025. • The only traditional version of "A Christmas Carol" is being presented by the South Coast Repertory, based in Costa Mesa. Hal Landon Jr. plays Scrooge in the 13th annual show. Previews are Dec. 1-6. The show's regular run is From Dec. 7 through Dec. 27. Ticket prices range from $12 to $27 depending on the seats and week. Call 714-9574033 for more information. • The renowned mimic is back with"Rich Little's Christmas Carol." Chris Little, his brother, plays Scrooge as Rich plays the remaining cast members. It's a big-name show with a big ¡Mice, but a short run.

S pike Lee reaches perfection with epic J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER I didn't know much about Malcolm X last week. Some critics even say that people who dress in attire promoting the black leader don't know the true man. But after seeing Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" epic movie, I know everything there is to know — plus a little more. Lee's no-compromise film starts with Malcolm Little — follows him from childhood, to being a ruthless villain and eventually a prisoner, through his conversion to Muslim where he changed his last name to X and to the final confrontations with the world a«d his own beliefs. The director does thi£in a three-hour, 21-minute movie that leaves no stone unturned, no detail omitted. But the time frame doesn't hinder the megamovie. In fact, the film's length is needed to adequately portray who Malcolm X really was and is today. Lee compares his movie to "JFK," an Oliver Stone flick that received acclaim as a remarkable film. Lee's comparison could be correct, in that both movies tell a story in a documentary-style dramatization. But "Malcolm X" goes beyond the story of the late president — it goes beyond the realm of any movie into a dimension that elevates Lee's epic into an instant classic. That's a lot of praise for one movie. But this tale does more than the awarded "Silence of the Lamb," the popular "Batman" series and even the beloved "Beauty and the Beast." " "Malcolm X" is a film that contains no flaws and more importantly, what sets this movie apart from the rest of the pack, this movie teaches a lessen that everyone can learn from. Malcolm X goes through several dramatic changes in his lifetime — all of which are documented in this film. The most stirring segment is when Mr. X rises in a power struggle within the Nation of Islam — and then defies his colleagues in a fierce rebellion. At first, it seems that Lee spends too much film time on the Islamic religion than on the title character. But after a while, it becomes apparent that all the information is of vital importance and becomes clear and more relevant as the story unfolds. Because of the large dedication to the NOI, audiences will not only see what Malcolm X said and did, but also see why. In turn, you learn Mho he is and what he believes, and not just what he was and did. Denzel Washington portrays Malcolm X with conviction. There is no one in show business that could have pulled off the part of well as Washington. At times, it becomes difficult to determine if Lee's directing or Washington's acting is what makes this production so exceptional. If you have the time, see "Malcolm X" while it's in the theater. It will be well worth it. But if you are uncomfortable in those theater seats, you might want to wait until it comes out on video. Don't worry, you may lose the big-screen advantage, but you won't lose the focus of "Malcolm X" on the smaller television. 13 �M usic C alendar Bluegrass, Etc.: Performs at Buffalo Bill's, San Diego, Dec. 15 at 8 p.m. 236-1616 CSUSM Student Andean Ensemble: Performs Dec. 1 at noon in Room 14-102 on campus.

Movers haul supplies into Craven flail in preparationforspring semester. ROMAN S . KOENIG/EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Despite a few setbacks, the final move over winter breakfromthe oldLos Vallecitos campus into Craven Hall has been hailed as a success, according to the Cal State San Marcos official responsible for coordinating the effort. Dr. Bernard Hinton, head of the office of architecture and construction and who facilitated the move, said the majority of people and departments originally located at the Los Vallecitos site moved into Craven Hall during the week of Dec. 15. Following the first transfer into the new six-story building, faculty offices located in the Academic Hall last semester were moved beginning Jan. 2. "Everything did stay to this schedule, and we did get moved. That's the bottom line,*' said Hinton. However, according to Marion T. Reid, director of library services, the move into Craven Hall was less than smooth. "It did not go as scheduled," said Reid, "because we did not open at the beginning of the semester as we had planned." The library's scheduled opening was to have been Feb. 26. The principle problem, Reid said, was that Craven Hall's architect did not approve a bolt that the shelving vendor needed to use to secure the units to the floor. As a result, the plans for the shelves had to be redrawn in a matter of twoand-a-half weeks. Another setback for the library, which occupies the third and fourth floors of Craven Hall, is the fact that lights for the staff to work under on the fourth floor are not yet working, Reid said. Recent rainstorms also didn't help the situation, according to Reid. Because of the lack of shelves, books had to be stored on the floor. When the heavy rains hit (now almost two R OMAN S .

Although the problems of heavy rain have lifted for the time being, the library is still faced with getting the facility on track just as the rest of those who have moved into the building begin to unpack and settle in. weeks ago), there were leakage problems in the ceiling, resulting in a few soaked volumes, she said. "When we came over, the contractor was removing his buckets," she said. To protect the books, Reid said they were covered with plastic and the wet volumes were removed to dry out. Despite the inconveniences, including some reported delays in phone service in other parts of the building, Hinton remains upbeat about the move's general success. "Oh, we had leakage problems," he said. "I'm not sure that's not to be anticipated with a new building. The silver lining behind the cloud was that the contractor was still on site to fix any problems." Hinton added that there were rain- In the meantime, Reid said that the library is open for student use of inter-library loans, reserved class reading materials and a few other services. "I admire p eople's powers of concentration," said Reid. "Because it is not quiet" as the rush to install the shelving continues.

"Dr. Zomalt will be asked to be one of two senior administrative officers reporting to the president." In the new position, Zomalt and his staff will hold responsibilities in the areas of business,financialand student services, according to Stacy. The position of executive vice-president was vacated by Dr. Richard Rush last year. Dr. Richard Millman will continue his responsibilities as vicepresident for academic affairs as the second senior position mentioned by Stacy in his annoucement Millman will continue to oversee all teaching, discovery and learning opportunities provided to students, faculty and the local area. Library implements no food/drink policy A no food or drinking policy has been implemented by the Cal S tate San Marcos library, it was announced recently. According to a statement from the library, the policy was established as a preventative measure to protect and preserve library materials for continued use. Food particles and drink spills can attract rodents and can otherwise damage library materials, according to the release. "On the Los Vallecitos campus there were not too many places to eat," said Marion Reid, director of library services. "But that was more of a family atmosphere, and food and books don't really go well together. But now that there's the Commons Building and other options, we felt it was necessary to implement this policy." The policy includes sports bottles and lidded containers for hot drinks. Students who are observed with any food or drink items in the library will be asked to dispose of them. Student Health Services announces opening Student Health Services is now open at the Twin Oaks Valley Road campus to students who need medical care. The clinic is full-service, and students can schedule an office visit with the doctor or nurse practitioner at no charge. Located on the first floor of Craven Hall, Student Health Services is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Although student health insurance is available for a fee, it is not necessary to have it in order to receive services at the clinic. Services include immunizations and clearances of I-holds for registration. Every student born after 1955 is required tocome to Student Health Services to show proof of measles and rubella vaccination before being allowed to register for the semester. Immunization, if needed, can be provided at no charge. Students are urged to do this early in the semester to avoid waiting in long lines later. Student Health Services also offers family planning, pelvic exams and annual pap tests for a small fee, as well as treatment for all types of sexually-transmitted diseases. Birth control pills cost $5 per month and condoms are available for $2 a dozen. Prescriptions can also be ordered at low cost, and many lab tests, such as pregnancy testing, strep throat cultures and tuberculosis testing (as required for student teaching) are free. All medical services are strictly confidential. Health education services include nutritional advice, pregnancy counseling, smoking cessation workshops and support groups for eating disorders and weight reduction. Classes involving yoga, Tai Chi and Jazzercise and perhaps a walking group may be in the works if students are interested. Additional information can be obtained by calling Susan Mendes at 752-4915. Students interested in classes can also call this number. Send news briefs to Pioneer, Cal State San Marcos, San Marcos, CA 92096. Releases may also be delivered to the Associated Students office. Wettest January on record Flood damage minimal to campus In what is now on record as the wettest January in San Diego history, Cal State San Marcos experienced few problems at the permanent Twin Oaks Valley Road campus. While many other parts of the county were fighting raging flood waters and erosion problems, university staff had to deal with minor erosion and leakage situations, according to office of architecture and construction director Dr. Bernard Hinton. The heavy rains dumped a deluge of water on campus, resulting in reported leaks in the campus" new buildings. In the Academic Hall, it was reported that two inches of water flooded the computer labs underneath the special floorboards used in the rooms. There have, as of yet, been no reports of damage to computers. Hinton said there were a few leaks in some windows in Craven Hall. At the same time, the library was faced with water problems of its own, according to library services Director Marion Reid. Plastic had to be placed over books sitting on the floor after some had gotten soaked by leaks in the ceiling in Craven Hall, she said. The deluge caused minimal erosion problems, however, according to Hinton. "We have under contract engineers with respect to (erosion control)," said Hinton. "And they already had modeled for us an erosion control system." Hinton said that a more permanent system f or controlling future erosion is in the works. He also credited personnel in the ROMAN S .

Hinton said they were responsible f or sandbagging and dealing with any erosion that did occur. They also took other preventative measures that helped stop possible substantial erosion, he said. Any problems that did occur were cleaned up by the first week of school. Grievance policy approved by senate, president ROMAN S. KOEWIG/EDITOR-INOHIEF Cal State San Marcos' Faculty Senate accepted an interim student grievance policy Dec. 9, followed by approval from university President Dr. Bill Stacy. Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the director/coordinator ofpublic services for the CSUSM library, headed the Student Affairs Committee of the Academic Senate that drafted the interim policy. "I was pleased to find out that thisdidreceivepresidential approval," she said. The policy, according to Biggs, is the culmination of a fall semester-long project that looked at elements of student grievance policies from state universities throughout California. After reviewing elements of these policies, the committee specifically began to focus on San Diego State University' s student grievance policy, she said. To learn more about it, the committee contacted an SDSU ombudsman to help sort out key elements of the document. Dr. Shelly Zwick, legal counsel to Cal State San Marcos, was then contacted to sort out legalities of the new interim policy for CSUSM, Biggs said. According to Biggs, the SDSU policy was adopted in the 1960s andhas remained unchanged, "so we felt comfortable using it because it had stood the test of time," she said. CSUSM's interim policy uses many elements from its counteipart at San Diego State as a result, Biggs said. During the process of drafting the document, however, controversy arose at Cal State San Marcos concerning a student grievance issue, she said. Pioneer reported last semester that two students made grievances against mathematics professor K. Brooks Reid, claiming that Reid favored male students in his classes. The grievance came up during hearings to promote Reid as Honors Committee chair. In reaction to the students' claims, other students later came to Reid's defense. Reid was later appointed to the chair position. Biggs said that the controversy made more urgent the Student Affairs Committee's job to draft the interim policy. She said that the policy SEE GRIEVANCE/PAGE 4 �GRIEVANCE Non-discrimination statement debate continues CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Welcome back, i t's good to see basis of race, gender, sexual you.

Highs and lows of cholesterol Research delving into question: 'Are low levels of cholesterol a risk?' The public health message on cholesterol has certainly reached Americans, and millions of people work hard to keep their cholesterol levels within recommendation by the AmericanHeartAssociationandother organizations. Also, to reduce their risk of heart disease, people eat healthfully and pxercise regularly. On the other hand, there have been recent reports in the mass media that there is a risk to having very low levels of cholesterol. This is not a problem for the vast majority of people, but it is estimated that 5-10% of people have low cholesterol levels probably due to genetics; Diet and other factors do not change this level. The recent studies and reports provide fuel for the debate on how low is too low.

YOU wr, ktNvtì Grievance policy sets diplomatic approach The approval ofan interim student grievance policy by the Academic Senate and President Stacy is a good sign that the interests of students are truly being considered. The most important aspect of this policy is the ability for a student to file a grievance at what is called the informal level. Bonnie Biggs, who heads the Student Affairs Committee responsible for the document's drafting, said that the students' best way of solving a grievance filed against a faculty member is informally— through a civil dialogue with a mediator where adecision can be made without a formal hearing O UR VIEWS STAFF EDITORIAL (KWA 5. Pioneer's goal: to serve you, the reader Starting from scratch isn't easy, especially when it comes to putting together a student newspaper. As the first issue of Pioneer under my editorship hits the stands today, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in accomplishing the nearly impossible—literally creating something from almost nothing. When I took on the task of running this paper over winter break, I had little more than an office full of back issues of the paper. After twoand-a-half years of monumental success under the leadership of Larry Boisjolie and Jonathan Young, I knew I had some big shoes to fill. However, I also knew that taking on this challenge would t)e a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This first issue which you are reading now was put together entirely on my computer at home, as Pioneer does not yet have one of its own. All advertising was sold from both my home and the home of Pioneer's advertising manager Rob Regan, since the newspaper doesn't have a phone yet, either. At times, these inconveniences almost made ftie reconsider continuing with this project, as I be somewhat different this semester. Although the winning of awards and receiving state and nationalrecognitionare nice, the focus ofPioneer will now be centered more towards home—the campus, its people, and the local community. In my experiences in the newspaper business, I have found that it is much more important to be motivated to publish a high quality paper by wanting to serve the community in which it represents, rather than by the bait of R OMAN S. K O E N I G winning recognition. In putting this paper knew only a few of Cal State San Marcos' together for the firsttime,Iexpectafew mistakes faculty, staff and students, and had to conduct a here and there. What I do not expect are a majority of story interviews by phone out of my plethora of awards for the work presented in house. But I knew I had an obligation to see to these pages. This newspaper's goal, as I said it that the campus newspaper continue to thrive before, is to serve you, the reader, with the best and succeed. possiblecampuscoverage. If the staff ofPioneer Already, Pioneer has quite a few trophies wins awards in trying to achieve this goal, that's under its belt thanks to Boisjolie and Young, all the better. specifically the successful running of the California Intercollegiate Press Association's I cannot promise you that we'll win any annual conference last year and the numerous awards this year, but I can promise you one awards of excellence given t o the newspaper thing: both I and the staff will do our best to put and its staff. out a student newspaper that is of high quality From my standpoint, as fantastic as these and worthy of your readership, be it homemade accomplishments may be, my goal as editor will or created on campus. POINT O F VIEW in front of the Student Grievance Committee (which is currently being formed). We couldn't agree more. Filing a grievance is an important decision on the part of the student, but coming to an understanding and eventual agreement through dialogue between the two parties is of utmost importance. The "Level One" section of the grievance policy outlines a clear procedure for an informal solution, and there are a number of f aculty m embers f rom c ounseling and psychological services and other studentoriented departments designated to mediate such grievance conflicts. The first paragraph of the informal "Level One" sectionreads like this: "Whenever a student feels aggrieved by a faculty member, an administrator, or a staff member, the student should consult with such persons as fellow students, the Associated Students, noninvolved faculty members, the counseling staff, and others for the following purposes: 1) Assistance in defining problem, 2) Exploring options for resolution, 3) Attempting to resolve theconflict." A student grievance complaint can be a sticky situation, as in the case of mathematics professor K. Brooks Reid last semester, and accusations by studentsagainstfaculty members can have the possibility of getting out of hand. This informal section of the policy may help to preventapotential witch-hunt situation by calling the two parties together and settling differences diplomatically. However, informal proceedings may not always work, so the existence of a "Level Two" formal procedure, where there are hearings, investigations and a final decision by the grievance committee, is another option outlined in the policy. The bottom line is that this new interim policy furthers students' rights against possible mistreatment by anyone at the university, whether they be a student, faculty or staff member, dean or program director. Even better is the available choice to carry out a grievance in a diplomatic fashion. Pioneer congratulates the Student Affairs Committee. �An open letter to President Bill Clinton Editor's note: This letter was sent to President Bill Clinton, and was submittedfor publication in Pioneer.

Dear sir, Listening to your campaign, and most especially watching the 1992 Democratic convention, I for the first time felt leal hope that at last my service to my country would be honorably remembered. At this time my service is remembered with disgrace through no fault of my own. It is remembered with disgrace because I am gay. I entered the Army National Guard when I was still in high school, at the age of 17.1 was in an armored infantry unit, and wouldoften spend weeks at a time buttoned up in a tank, out in the middle of the desert Believe me, the issue never came up. There was never any time to think about it; the mission always came first. My patriotism was never in question, nor was my ability to serve. I was a United States soldier. I carried out my duties with pride, and I am disgusted when anyone suggests that I looked upon my fellow soldiers with anything less than respect. S PEAK O UT STUDENT COMMENTARY I was able to transfer into the active duty Air Force, and spent another two years performing in a maintenance squadron both here and in Europe. It was in England that I fell in love with another man who was also stationed on the base. The love didn't harm me, it was the most natural thing I had ever experienced. Itwas the guilt that destroyed me. I felt guilty because I knew I was breaking military regulations. I had never lied before, and I always wished to follow the rules to the best of my ability. But how couldI follow this rule? I tried, by God I tried, but living the lie proved too much for me, and I was summarily discharged under article 39-10: psychologically incompatible for military service. My discharge was honorable, but I felt my service was a disgrace. Why should any veteran who answered his country's call, and performed his service dutifully, feel ashamed? Why should anyone raised to tell the truth be so forcedtoconstandy lie, even in hisowncountry? I was devastated. Finally coming to grips with my sexuality and being discharged because of it were enough to send me into denial and depression for over two years. I have now pulled my life together, and I havefinallyrealized that the fault was not my own; it was a homophobic policy that placed an unfair standard upon me. If I had received compassion and understanding so that I could have accepted who I am, instead of being forced to lie about it, I could have continued to render the service to which I had been trained. In the end it was the tax payer that lost, for all the money that was spent on my training was lost because of an outdated policy that never made any sense. I am hopeful that you will end this policy that forced me to lie. Let me tell the truth, and let me and my family remember my service as an honorable one. Sincerely, Donald P. Scott ScottisaHistorymajoratCalStateSanMarcos. As a footnote, President Clinton last week put offfor six months the executive order calling to lift the ban on gays in the military. Pioneer editorial sparks response by student official I am a little surprised at the censorship of information in your recent (Nov. 3,1992) op/ed piece. Surely, as journalists, you are aware of the fact that there is more than one form of censorship. You accused me of active censorship by removing comments from the board in the Dome Café. This is not denied. However, I accuse you of passive censorship by omitting essential parts of the story of the now infamous "Free Speech" board. The power of thefreepress is an awesome responsibility. You decide what to print and what not to print. This is censorship is it not? You also can print incomplete or misleading stories. This is censorship and injustice, is it not? You also decide whether to cover an event or not Is this also not controlling information? You have accused me of denying "the right for those opinions to be expressed." I accuse you of the same violation. Several weeks before this incident I asked to be contacted by the paper to express alternative views from those being presented to the paper by the (Associated S tudents) council and clubs.

In what was billed as a music and dance expedition to the west African nation of Ghana became "the experience of a lifetime" for a 13member delegation from California State University, San Marcos during winter break. The delegation, which was organized by ethnomusicology professor W. Komla Amoaku, not only learned something about traditional music and dance but also came away with a better understanding of world citizenship as they assisted their Ghanaian colleagues in a number of educational areas. Individual members worked on a plethora of projects such as faculty and graduate student exchanges, mathematics education for girls, and problems related to computers. For entourage leader and CSUSM Executive Vice-President Ernest Zomalt, the greatest surprise was the visit to Ho, a village that also is Amoaku's home town. "It was intense," said/Zomalt. "Somehow you get conjured up in your own mind what a village is, and when you get their you see 2-3,000 people in a complex social organization and you find it is nothing like this mythical village. That was the high point personally — the interaction with the people in Ho and the opportunities in the village." On the professional level, Zomalt sees opportunities for a liaison between CSUSM, the Ghana Education Service (GES), and the three universities that are in Ghana. "This trip was not initially planned for (inter-)institutional interaction," said Zomalt. "I think what we can do for the universities in Ghana is to probably start with some faculty exchange to bring some new ideas into the university because they" are moving to the course credit system and away from their traditional British system. Organizationally we can help with that, but more importantly we can help with new disciplinary ideas of instruction, of working with students, of delivering the program." Zomalt adds that this could be funded with Fullbright scholarships and aid from US government agencies such as USAID. One professor who is already starting to work with Ghanaians is Carolyn Mahoney, program director for the mathematics department. In a series of lectures coordinated by Science, Technology, and Mathematics Education Desk Officer Georgina Quazee of the Ghana Education Service, Professor Mahoney presented a number of public forums introducing the concept of mathematics education for girls as well as a four-day workshop to a group of 50 female elementary school teachers-in-training on how to teach mathematics. "I had no idea that I had to do this," said Mahoney. "I didn't have any materials, and so I thought T his is an interesting challenge — How will you do a workshop when you don' t have anything?' "Mahoney said SEE GHANA/PAGE 9 �GHANA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 that she talked with a number of officials within the GES about it and found out during the dialog that, "...They wouldn't have anything either, so let's do a workshop where they would understand the issues and then come up with ways to use whatever they have in their environment Mark Hopkins (thrid from left) along with Dr. Ernest and Leslie Zomalt (third &fourthfrom will help them deliver the kind of that rigit) pose in traditional Kente cloth robes in with newfound friendsinHo. math and science pedagogue and con- We would like to put your mind to rest. —A PARTMENT S - Swimming pool • Two laundry rooms • Dishwashers • Air conditioning • Disposal • Private balconies/patios • Secured private storage • Covered carports »Lighted Tennis Court Half-Court Basketball Club Room w/ Kitchen Private Patio/Balcony 24-Hour Monitored Alarm in Each Apartment All units are light and airy and include wall carpets, refrigerator, drapes and blinds.

KOENIG/PIONEER A small jump in student enrollment along with additional campus population from the old Los Vallecitos location has caused a shortage of parking spaces. CSUSM sees enrollment upturn T he student population at Cal State San Marcos h as taken a small jump this s emester, according to Betty J . Huff, director of Enrollment Services. According to Huff, t he total student population stands at 1,961 with a full-time enrollment ofl,400. Last fall, t he number of total number of students topped at 1,904 with full-time enrollment at 1,301. "It's a big jump from last year," said Huff. "But we were hoping to have 1,500 full-time by this time." Huff said that an unanticipated f ee i ncrease may h ave effected t he number of students enrolling at t he university this semester. "I can't say exactly why, but we're going to try and do a survey of those students who didn't (choose to attend t he university) and see why they didn't,'* s he said. Huff cited t he sluggish economy in general a s another possible reason why t he student population wasn't higher this spring. Full-time enrollment figures are not based on individual students, according to Huff. She said that to g et t he full-time figure, t he total number of credit units generated must b e added up and divided by 15. T his figure is used for funding purposes, s he said. T he small jump in population may not b e t he sole contributing factor to t he nearoverflow conditions of t he studentparking lot t his semester, either, said Huff.

Beginning Feb. 8, the library expanded services to include reference and access to periodicals, as well as all but one of the l ibrary's e lectronic r esource s ystems, a ccording to announcement by Director of Library Services Marion Reid. Connections for the remaining system, Lexis/Nexis, are still pending. Maps for classroom use are also now available, Reid stated. They are located in the library circulation area just inside the courtyard door of t he library on the third floor. Although several services have been expanded, it will be awhile before all of the circulating books will be available, according to Reid, since bookshelves from the Los Vallecitos campus are still being installed. Reid also announced the availability of tours of the library, which will run Feb. 22-26. Further information about the tours can be obtained by calling 471-6494, or by referring to t he Pioneer calendar section. Resource room is students' connection T he Student Resource Center has announced hours for its resource room, located in 5205 in Craven Hall, focusing on open hours in the evening. According to an announcement from the center, students who stay after the university's general office hours have no place to go for problem solving or questions about Cal State San Marcos. In response to such needs, according to t he release, t he Student Resource Room of t he center is openfrom8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. The center is staffed by student interns and assistants, as well as Dr. Fritz Kreisler, a part-time faculty member and a psychologist who formerly served as director of counseling and associate dean of students at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania. Kreisler will be available for students during t he evening from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Kreisler will be available to answer questions about university procedures, for drop-in counseling needs and for information regarding where to go for answers to specific questions about student life. In addition, t he Student Resource Room contains a large selection of information, including pamphlets on s tress management, study skills, procrastination and wellness. Catalogues of local agencies that provide services that students might need are also available. Audiotapes on relaxation and other health-related topics can also be found at the center. According to t he announcement, Kreisler hopes to expand evening offerings to supplement counseling services, including peer counseling, support groups and workshops on topics of interest to students, later this spring. Additional information can be obtained by visiting t he center or by calling Cathy Craig at 7524910.

Two fairs will be held that day as part of the CSUSM Inaugural Career Fair, according to the statement Beginning at 11 a.m. and running to 1:30 p.m., the general career fair will include representatives of business, industry, government and social service agencies. The second offering, the education career fair, will focus on multiple-subject teaching credential positions, and will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Career Center has several suggestions on how students can best present themselves at the career fairs. • Bring a resumé: especially if the student is available for immediateemploymentorattheendofthecurrentsemester If a student doesn't have a resumé with them, they are advised to get a name, title and address of the employer and send one. Slimmer employment and internship positions should also have a resumé. • Make a favorable impression: Students are advised to come dressed better than school attire but not as formal as an interview, although some students do dress in interview attire. • Make a personal contact: with a variety of employers. Students are asked to be flexible, because they may encounter last-minute cancellations, crowded conditions and lines to talk to certain employers. • Show enthusiasm and interest: Employers are impressed with a positive attitude, according to the Career Center. A good handshake and eye contact are essential, they advise. • Be ready to ask questions: The employer representatives are stuck behind a table. They want to talk with students, so they should be approached with three generic questions. Students are advised to be the initiator. • Follow up: If a student is really interested in a company, agency or district, students should get abusinesscard from the recruiter and send a "thank you" note for their time and information, according to the Career Center. Additional information about the Inaugural Career Fair can be obtained by calling Sandy Punch at 7524900.

I ask the question because as of late, I feel like I've gone back in time — back to a time over 30 years ago when a man named Sen. Joe McCarthy ruined lives and heightened the infamous aRed Scare" by implicating people as being communists, t hus ruining people's reputations. What gets me most is that the situation I have been witnessing is occurring right here at Cal State San Marcos, in one of my classes. Perhaps one of the finest history professors I have ever encountered has been facing under-the-table ridicule from a few students who seem to imply that h e is a communist Why? Because in his history class, h e applies a theory of history proposed by Karl Marx which says that within every society lies the seeds of its own destruction. "So what?" you might say. These few other issues of Americana, which had very little if anything to do with the subject in class that day, in debating with the professor. Needless to say, I have been shocked by t hese occurrences, and the class at times feels very uncomfortable because of it. R OMAN S .

Labeling someone can be dangerous and destructive, and it is unfair to prejudge someone simply because h e or she utilizes a theory proposed by a person who created t he foundation of our former "enemy." T he Berlin Wall h as M en, t he hammer and sickle flag is gone from t he Kremlin, and communism in t he former Soviet Union appears to be dead (at least for the time-being), and t he "Red Scare" in the United States ended a long, long time ago. It is time for this country and its people to rise above t he innuendos and fears of a Cold War that h as melted. T he events I have been witnessing in my class have lessened my hope for our generation's ability to tolerate alternative viewpoints— whether they be liberal or conservative. �ôtt*eet7cà Q uestion: How would you have killed jr. high school student Jennifer Loscher?

Ti Don't misinterpret professors' actions I perceive a tendency a mong t he CSUSM student body to mislabel sexist t he actions of some of our faculty. Twice last semester I was approached by fellow students that expressed dismay at what they described a s sexist attitudes displayed by professors. One professor is male, t he other female. In each case t he complaining s tudent w as o pposite s ex f rom t he instructor. Also in each case, t he students proceeded to take action. I have gotten to know each of t hese professors through classes and committee membership. In either case, I can by no means agree t here exists a sexist attitude. I believe insufficient thought is often given to what exactly t he intent of a professor's actions mightbe.Thisinsufficientthought is exemplified in an editorial r un by t he Pioneer in t he Nov. 17,1992 issue. In a n a rticle e ntitled " Feminist movement with a new twist," Pioneer Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie grossly misinterprets t he underlying message in a feminist film (unquestionably Marleen Gorris> "A Question of Silence") and consequently misinterprets t he intent of the professor that played t he film. His KKK a nalogy a nd s ubsequent admonishment t hat a (any) instructor who advocates racism (should) b e relieved of teaching responsibilities..." lacks insight and sensitivity.

FEBRUARY 17, 1993 Pioneer I SARAH SCHULTZ/STUDENT WRITER • 1 I « • • You pull up to a stoplight, eating a bag of peanuts. A refrigeration truck rumbles to a stop beside you, and the soles of your shoes are killing you. On the news, you hear of a child that is saved by a blood transfusion. What do these things have to do with African-American History Month? They are all invention&created by African-Americans, inventions which are just one part of a rich history that is too often forgotten and ignored. How many Americans know that these things were contributed to American society by AfricanAmericans? Very few, with this writer included. Dr. Edward Thompson, III, associate professor of political science and president of the Academic Senate at C.S.U.S.M, feels that very little AfricanAmerican history is taught to the general public, and that t he month is important and necessary to educate African-Americans as, well as o thers about t he rich history and culture. "I think it's an opportunity for me to recognize my heritage and feel good that society is paying some attention to that a s well. It's also an opportunity to counteract some of the negative images and stereotypes that developed around black Americans," Thompson said. "What you see in t erms of imagery of ^^^^^^ African-Americans is a simplistic sort of imagery where African-Americans are on the T V. only if they ^^^^^^^ are playing sports or if they are singing and dancing, or telling jokes. Certainly, the imagery that's on T.V. is bad imagery for everyone. But if you have a little bit of contact with African-Americans and your contact is limited to what you see on television, then what you s ee on television does not project a very good image." Ricky Ausby, a Liberal Studies major in his junior year at C.S.U.S.M, is another who feels that African-American history is not generally taught, especially in schools. When h e was a junior in high school, Ausby says his history class went over only two African-American figures: Martin Luther King and Bill Cosby. ' They didn't even mention that Bill Cosby was an educated man," Ausby said. "All they mentioned was that h e was a comedian." Although Ausby agrees that African-Americaa History Month is important to both educate others and recognize often ignored accomplishments, h e holds the view that it is a shame the month h as to exist at all.

T o say that we're going to single out one month, and then forget it after that month, in a way, is a downer," Thompson said. "I think there should be an equal recognition of all cultures, and all peoples, and I don't think that we have an equal recognition at all times." C.S.U.S.M. s tudent Opal Johnson, a senior majoring in English, says that while she has been able to learn about AfricanAmerican history, it has been something she has had to reach out for in order to gain knowledge of. "There are so many achievements that have been made by black people that aren't recognized,"Johnson said. "That's history not told." She sees African-American History Month as not only reaffirming black history but also as reaffirming ancestral connection. "It is important to know where you camefrom,"Johnson said. "All people should seek their history because it will tell them about themselves and their forefathers. If you understand your past, then your future becomes clearer." Cecelia Blanks, a C.S.U.S.M. senior majoring in Social Science inorderto become an educational counselor, also believes the past holds a close relationship with the future, and thinks this month is helpful in revealing a past so often hidden. "It's a really valuable thing for me to reflect on where I came from and to give me vision on where I'm going," Blanks said. "If we don't know what our past is, we're doomed to repeat it, from what I've always been told." Blanks feels education plays a key role in prejudice, and sees African-American History Month as an event that can educate. "This month could h elp prejudice decrease," Blanks s ad.

And then they will cut down on those stereotypes that have been s etup over years, or from what somebody might have told them from a lack of knowledge." CSUSM and equality And how does C.S.U.S.M. stand up as far as educating others about African-American history, enabling those from other cultures to pursue a college education, and being an example of a campus that is not racist but instead, with its Mission Statement, welcomes all cultures with open arms? Although the university excels in many of these areas compared to other colleges, it, like all institutions, is not perfect. It seems that the university, just as America, has a long way to go. "I think that in terms of the programs and t he activities, I think the campus is doing a good job, during the month of February," Thompson said. "But there are proportionatelyvery few African-American students, Latino students, (etc.), at this institution. You have a diverse faculty, and you have a diverse curriculum. Butyou don'thave as diverse student body, given the demographics of the North County region." Thompson made it clear that, while he was not saying that efforts weren't being made, h e was not where h e would hope to be right now. He hopes that the university can go ahead and redouble its efforts in order to increase diversity among the students.

"(The university) says they're supposed to be representing the under-represented, and we're totally part of t he under-represented, along with Asians, and Native Americans, (etc.)," Blanks said. "Why notfocus on whatyou say you're trying to focus on?" Ausby feels that C:S.U.S.M. gives African-American students an opportunity to recognize this month, but he also thinks it's a shame that if it's going to be done, it has to be done by the AfricanAmerican students. "I don't think it's justa black issue," Ausby said. "Everyone should get involved." Ausby would like to see the university take more of a role in African-American History Month. He says that most of the activities during this month were put on by t he African/African-American Student Alliance, with the exception of the play "1001 Black Inventions" and a jazz concert, which C.S.U.S.M. sponsored. The rest of it, Ausby said, was mainly left in the hands of the students, and they did most of the work. Ausby, who helped get the university to endorse the play, said he would like to see the administration and President Bill Stacy get more involved and help out the students more, arid in that way better acknowledge the importance of African-American History Month. However, Ausby thinks the university does provide a range of c lasses in which AfricanAmerican a chievements and contributionscan be learned. One example is an English class focusing on Toni Morrison, which studies the works of the African- 2 12 W. S an Marcos Bvld.

Johnson feels proud to be a student at C.S.U.S.M., and says that the university is interested in seeing that there is an inclusion of black history and black endeavors throughout the campus. Blanks believes that more of the school and faculty need to get involved in African-American History Month. Right now, Blanks says, it's mostly the African-American club doing t he work, and without having a large amount of money set aside they couldn't do very much. Blanks believes that prejudice is present in American society, and that America is stepping farther and farther into more racism. "I thought it would be bad being from Texas, but when I came to California it was much worse here than it was there," Blanks said. "At least in Texas you knew when a white person hated you — they told y ou—but in California, people try to cover it up." Blanks recounted a scene she witnessed during spring semester registration. She says a Mexican woman was standing in the line, and another woman said to her, "Why don't you go back where you camefrom,wetback!" Blanks said she was shocked; this wasatC,S.U.S.M., in Admissions and Records, waiting to g et classes. Ausby also believes that in terms of prejudice, America is regressing, and that this country has a very long way to go before equality is reached. He sees a disparity of wealth and education for African-Americans, as well a s a high infant mortality rate and a high death rate of young AfricanAmericans. Ausby feels t hat America should fight a war on poverty and lack of education with as much intensity as the war was fought in the Persian Gulf. Blanks said that she believes there is racism on C.S.U.S.M.'s campus, and that a lot of it is created by the Mission Statement of diversity. "A lot of people don't understand what diversity is, and they really don't want it," Blanks explained. ''When you talk about diversity it could mean anything. It could mean re-entry people, women, and the handicapped. We're not talking about making the white people suffer, and have more black people come in or more Asians, so the white people can't have a spot." �10 / K ALEIDOSCOPE P IONEER / W EDNESDAY.

In know that we all did. I hope that you found the club exactly right for you, and if you didn't—well, maybe you can startyour own. I would talk m ore about Club Days, but something much more pressing h as arisen.. Controversy continues within our not-so-hallowed halls, once again pitting student organization against student organization. T he disgrace is that certain members of t he Associated Students recently decided thatthe Inter-Club Council should not receive any financial help (read: insurance) from the A.S., but should be subsidized by the university. T he implied remains that t he A.S. refuses to continue S UZANNE C LARK paying for this insurance, and if the university refuses to pay as well, clubs will not be able to exist on campus. Club insurance is t he one item that requires the most financial assistance for campus organizations. I feel that the issue of cost is a moot one. The A.S. collects $15 from each of u s at the beginning of the semester. They are pleading poverty since full-time enrollment is down; but full-time students are not the only ones paying the fee. T he numbers I hear concerning t he A S. budget (and mind you, these are rumors) are approximately $80,000 per annum. The A.S. is supposedly dedicated to students and student activities. I guess that dedication does not extend to students involved in clubs. Insurance is required by law. T he clubs—many of which can barely keep their headsabovewater, many ofwhich arefinanciallysupported by their club presidents, and many of which do not desire to charge dues that would exclude many people — cannot afford to pay t his i nsurance t hemselves. Whether the university or the A.S. pays t he fees, clubs should not be threatened with disbandment. Some of t he A.S. senators and officers obviously desire t he A.S. to be the single student voice on TWIN OAKS DELI A N D C A T E R I N G BREAKFAST AilTFIX. 81.25 J O I B O ROT BOG E GG, C HEESE & B ACON OR HAM O N A N ENGLISH MUFFIN C ATSUP, R ELSIH, M USTARD & O NIONS ( REG. $1.65) With this coupon With this c oupon • 99c MEET ME AT THE T.O.

Health issues affect students Health care and the health care system are on the mind of a majority of Americans. It was a major campaign issue and our new president has given itprominence by appointingthefirstlady, Hilary Rodham Clinton, to head t he White House Task Force on National Health Care Reform. The United States spends approximately $900 billion a year, or 14 percent of the gross national product on health care. Two issues that are vitally important to students will be addressed by the task force. T he first is affordable health insurance, which we know is a problem for students. It is generally known that only one-third of college-age students have comprehensive health insurance. Onethird have some coverage and another one-third have no insurance at all. T he other issue is access to primary and preventative care services. The college health field has long recognized the health problems and need for primary and preventative health care for students. At CSU San Marcos, these services are provided on campus at your Student Health Service. DR. J OEL G RINOLDS I emphasize "your Student Health Service* because we exist to serve the needs of students. In order to better meet t hese needs, a Student Health Advisory Board is being formed. T he general purpose of the Student Health Advisory Board is to promote t he quality and delivery of health care at the university. Most boards take an active role in promoting student/consumer participation in the delivery of health services, also. Other roles include evaluating programs and policies, reviewing students' suggestions a s well a s complaints, and performing student satisfaction surveys. Some boards are very active in relaying health information to t he student body through presentations, surveys, flyers and participation in organizational displays and programs. Membership on t he board is open to any and all CSUSM students.

Despite the high numbers, you definitely get what you are paying for in the aspect of flavor and quantity, plus a little bit more. You get rocked. The music at Jazz by the Way keeps in pace with the classy feel and atmosphere of the large restaurant, yet it surpasses that and gets down to the basis of why the cafe is there — to play Jazz music. The stage is respectively located at one end of the dining hall, allowing every dinertoenjoythejazztunes.Theacoustics are surprisingly good, with no bad seat in the house. The large room even includes an area with bar stools and tables for those looking for a quaint place to have a glass of wine or coffee.

CSUSM music professor beats to African drum Eyi came to the United States to share his love for music and the African drum. As a master African drummer, he represents t he California Arts Council as an artist in residence for the San Diego City Schools and has found his home at Cal State San Marcos teaching music and dance. a My objective in the United States is to teach,* Eyi explains. "I think people like me are needed to teach about my music.* Eyi admits h e keeps busy in his quest of sharing his music. But every once in a while, h e gets out and jams with some of hisfriends.Most recently, that was at the Jazz by the Way Cafe in San Marcos. On the conga, Eyi gives an unusual and not very traditional aspect to t he Jazz band, Joy Spring. But h e feels that there aren't too many boundaries for his instrument "The conga is an instrument that can be used for various types of music,* Eyi said in between sets at the cafe. "It's the same as the guitar. It's the same instrument, butyou canuse itfor different styles.* Eyi's experience as a drummer comes from his native land of Africa, where h e is considered to be a master at his trade. There, his music and dance is never separated. "The master drummer speaks to the dancer,* Eyi said. He explained that through the performance, the dancer can be instructed to move forward or back, to jump and dance side to side — an unlimited number of moves—just by the beat of the rhythm.

KATHY C MBS/CONTRIBUTING WRITER O returning to CSU are displaced workers moving to another career. People with degrees are t h e "best equipped to make the change to a new profession," h e said. "These students will be penalized by 'double dipping' tuition." The increase comes on the heels of a $50 per unit increase already in place at California Community Colleges. Officials at Palomar College reported a 53 percent drop in the number of college graduates enrolled this spring. College graduates have become the latest target for fee hikes at California State Universities with an increase that could shoot as high as $4,500. Beginning this fall, graduates who have a bachelor's degree will be required to pay a "differential fee," $150 more per unit than non-graduates. The fee would be added to CSU's standard $1,300 annual fee. T h e additional fee is detrimental t o . According to Stacy, the real pinch will California," warned President Dr. Bill be felt by students planning to become Stacy. "It's not good public policy." Stacy added that many of the students teachers and nurses. This adds to the impact forecasted by a report called "Economic Impact of the CSU on the California Economy," written by Robert Girling of Sonoma State University, Sherry Keith of San Francisco State University and George Goldman at the University of California, Berkeley. The report suggests that budget cuts will result in a 7 percent to 12 percent decrease in thé number of degrees granted each year by t h e 20 CSU campuses for the next nine years. Teaching is likely to suffer because CSU trains nearly 75 percent of California's public school teachers, the report said. Stacy closes campus after power outage ROMAN S. K E /EDITOR-1N-CHIEF O NIG Cal State University San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy shut down the campus Feb. 18 after yet another major storm pummeled the county, leaving the campus without power. According to Stacy, San Diego Gas & Electric crews were called to the area after a power outage along Barham Drive cut electricity to the university. Stacy said that despite the inconvenience of the outage, it gave the university the opportunity to test its back-up electricity generator. "We have an emergency generator and back-up power on campus, and it was t h e first time we had occasion to turn it o n — and it failed," said Stacy. Stacy said h e was told that power would not be restored forfiveor six hours after SDG&E crews made it to the scene, so h e cancelled classes for the day since many rooms without windows and rooms with computers could not be used. He said that in hindsight, however, this was a mistake. He said "the president's inexperience with the power going off in California" led to thedecisiontoclosethecampus, "which was a big mistake to do." Stacy explained that power was restored considerably earlier than the original time estimate, and late afternoon and evening classes could have been held. He said that one professor who was at a conference during die day in Los Angeles rushed back down in driving rain to meet her class only to find the campus closed. "They told u s it would be two to three ROMAN S. KOENIG/PIONEER A Cal State San Marcos professor runs through a downpour (right) as a security guard keeps watch in front of the Science Hall after the campus was closed due to a power outage Feb. 18. The loss of power was caused by damagefromrecent heavy storms. hours before they could examine theproblem, and another five or six hours to repair. Well, they were able to repair itwithin two hours," said Stacy. T h e president said that although closing the campus may not have been the best idea, it was necessary for safety since it was impossible to work in the darkened conditions. Stacy also indicated thattheeventcalled attention to having a ôet plan for similar situations in the future. "Now looking at it, I'm sorry we didn't have a system to coordinate (closing) and opening (the campus)," h e said. Major rains also caused flooding last Friday on the first floor of Craven Hall, leaving approximately two inches of water in some offices and in t h e Student Health Services center, an official with the center said. Workers at t h e scene cleaning up the flooded offices refused comment on the situation, and officials with the Facilities department could not be reached for comment as to t h e flood's cause. �wkaú/\¡ews WASC accreditation team coming to campus T h e campus community is asked to mark its calendars for t h e upcoming accreditation visit by a review board which will determine if Cal State San Marcos will be an accredited university, said Diane (Johnson) Martin, assistant vice president for academic affairs. The accreditation site visit by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) will take place March 23-26, she said. Students are encouraged to take part in the accreditation process by reviewing CSUSM's self-study, a document outlining the university's goals for its accreditation, said Martin. Copies of the document are available in the Associated Students office or on reserve in the library, she said. "The purpose of accreditation is that (it) establishes standards for universities... to further educational excellence," said Martin. aAnd then what happens is that each institution is responsible for defining its own characteristics for excellence." The university is then reviewed to see if it is meeting those goals. Accreditation is then decided by the visiting committee from WASC. She said students are also involved in the process, as the WASC officials interview members of the campus community to help determine their decision. According to Martin, interviewers will talk with a representative sample of the campus (i.e. students, staff, administration and faculty) and ask questions related to the self-study. The WASC officials then write up their report determining if the university is worthy of accreditation. Martin said that by reading and understanding the university's self-study, students can help meet the goals presented in the document. Additional information can be obtained by calling Martin at 752-4052 or Nancy Curry at 752-4129, Martin said. Associated Students elections announced Elections for Associated Student Council positions for the 1993-94 academic year will be held the last week of April, it was announced last week.

Careers and controversy Inaugural career fair successful; student protests military recruiters' presence on campus ROMAN S. KOENIG EDITOR-IN-CHIEF While Career Cento* Director Sandy Punch hailed last week's inaugural career fair as a success, one student protested the presence of military recruiters at the event a I was protesting the presence of (military) recruiting officers because (they have) institutionalized sexism, homophobia" and have refused the full inclusion of women and homosexuals in the a rme d f orces , said s tuden t Donald Scott, a homosexual who formerly served in the military. Scott said that h e was also opposed to having the FBI at the fair, since h e alleged that they, too, are sexist and homophobic, as well as the Border Patrol. "I feel that (having) these institutions on campus is a violation of Cal State San Marcos' Mission S tatement , and (CSUSM) president Dr. (Bill) Stacy and t h e administration - should apologize for this action."

Unless private donors go to bat for the athletics program, inter-collegiate sports won't be in line for a solid kick-off for at least three more years at Cal State San Marcos. Although intramural sports will continue to grow over the next few years, funding for an inter-collegiate athletics program will not be reconsidered until 1997, the same year it was scheduled to come on-line. Fundingfor the program has been placed on hold to make way for higher priorities such as the library, the Arts and Humanities building and the Science building.

T h e first effort is to get the facilities on campus," he said. "The second concern is inter-collegiate sports and that will require private fundraising." The college will look to private sources to help fund the program and to develop playing fields, which in the initial stages would be used for intramural sports. The state will foot the bill for the land for thefields,however Stacy said. this is where the state's commitment stops. In the meantime, faculty teams will concentrate on defining the curriculum for Physical Education majors. Planning is still in the early stages, but when the P.E. department comes on-line it will be on the cutting edge of 21st century technology, says Dr. Richard Millman, vice president of academic affairs. T her e are two ways to build a P.E. department," h e said. T her e will be no activity to train coaches or to teach someone to play volleyball." Instead, CSUSM will offer a "scientifically based physical education." That scientific base will include requiring students to become knowledgeable in biology, chemistry, anatomy and the science of motion. In addition to housing classrooms for a wide range of majors and a computer lab, the P.E. building will also be a center for fitness and recreation, Stacy said. �PIONEER / WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3 ,199 3 P lan s a r e c urrentl y in t h e works t hi s m ont h f o r a b ab y clothes and materials drive for women and men who a r e facing a crisis pregnancy.

One in particular is the addition of a wide variety of healthful drinks, s nack s and meals t o choose from in t h e Dome Café. Currently, students can find food either at the café, which offers mini Pizza Hut pizzas or salad, or at the University Store, which sells items like cold sandwiches and chips.

"We looked at that issue early on," said Punch. "What we (including Zomalt) looked at was discrimination against homosexuals and as (the military, FBI, etc.) are government agencies as we are a government agency, we cannot prohibit their freedom of speech" justthe same as students can exhibit theirs in their interes t Punch said that since President Clinton h a s made some changes in terms of recruitment practices concerning the issue, the situation has been helped as well. Meeker, who manages the University Store (both are part of Aztec Shops), say they are aware of the problems facing students when it comes to food on campus:first,the lack of variety and / or healthfulfoodsatboth thecafé and bookstore, and secondly, the fact that the café closes at 2 p.m., leaving afternoon and evening students with insufficient food availability. T ogether , M arten s and Meeker are planning to offer a greater variety of foods to better fit the needs of morning, afternoon and evening students. Until the student population increases and the café can afford a larger workforce, it will con- tinue to close a t 2 p.m., according to Martens. Instead, she plans to improve the variety of food offered in the Dome Café. Plans include the opening of a taco bar offering tacos sold by the ounce, a pasta bar and perhaps a french toast and p ancak e b reakfas t available between 8 a m . and 10 a.m. For the health-minded, products by Naked Food will be offered.These include Naked Juice fruit and vegetable concoctions a s well as a variety of Nutrimental fruit and vegetable salads. In addition to the snacks already offered at the café, Martens said She also said that Scottwanted to interrupt the actual fair going on in the Dome, but was asked to p rotes t outside t h e building, which he did. "I understand Donald Scott's position," she said. "And while he h a s t h e r igh t to f reedo m of speech, so do the employers." D espit e t h e c ontroversy , Punch said that the inaugural career fair was a success. "The employer reactions were extremely favorable," she said, adding that the employers in attendance were given evaluation, forms that showed the enthusiastic response. Punch also added thatstudentevaluations were also very favorable. She said t ha t e mployer s pointed outthataccommodations for them were excellent and that the caliber of students was very high. Student evaluations showed t ha t t hey , too, w er e overall pleased but would have liked more recruiters, she said. According to Punch, some employers who planned to attend the fair pulled out at t h e last minute because of hiring freezes andfinancial constraints. Shealso said three applicationswere made with the Peace Corps during the event With the success of this first fair, Punch said she is now looking to next fall's career fair.

"If we. have a good response from recruiters now, it will build a foundations for future fairs," she said. SEE F O /PAGE 12 OD �Pioneer Respect freedom of choice, voice Freedom of speech and choice at a university campus is of paramount importance, as it apparently is at Cal State San Marcos. There was no greater example of that recently than during the Inaugural Career Fair, where student Donald Scott let it be Oar w known his views about lifting the ban on gays in the military. Although Pioneer a gree s with this stand, it is also equally important for others to express the'opposite view, as was shown by the presence of military recruiters during the career fair. Career Center Director Sandy Punch and other university officials made the right decision in letting the recruiters on campus for this reason. No matter how one looks at it, the lifting of the ban is imminent, and no matter how thin you slice it, gays are in the military already — they always have been. Until the day comes when the ban is lifted, however, it is important to show tolerance towards the military's current position, and to allow other students the freedom to chose a military career. GHrrŒffTDSMK MET tewe THE m C B O R T ï B t f When it comes to problems, the best policy is totellit like it is If there is one thing a journalist can't stand ifs being dictated to over what is or is not a story. One recent event on campus drove that home for me. These last two months are fast going down in San Diego history as some of the wettest on record. This would surely have an unanticipated effect on the workings of brand new buildings. As a result, leaks, floods and power outages would be expected here at Cal State San Marcos as kinks in the structures are being worked o u t Apparently, however, some in the Far ciMesdepartmenttake this very seriously; seriously enough to dictate to me the importance of stories concerning these issues. LastFriday, a s l went to Student Health Services to take care of some business, I was told by one of the officials there that there had been a flood on thefirstfloor of Craven Hall, where Student Health Services is located. Sure enough, behind a doorway in the complex there were Facilities workers cleaning up the mess left by the flood. I had my camera bag and notebook in hand, thinking that this might make an interesting story for the paper. For the first round, when I asked about what had happened, all I got were dirty and suspicious looks, as if there was a cover-up or Point With this reasoning I said that there wasn't, and one of them snapped back at me with a quick "Yes, there are." Next, I asked why they weren't being cooperative and they claimed that it would make them look bad if this situation were reported in the paper. Maybe it's just me, but there's nothing "bad" about seeing Facilities workers rushing diligently to clean up and solve a problem. Sure, they may have been under a tremendous amount of stress, but that gave them no right to dictate to me the importance of the story; they could have just amply referred me to the head of the department for information. Ironically, no one was at the office when I called and the voice mail system was not answering. Come press time this week, I had no choice but to run a blurb about the incident with little if any information. The fact is that there is something wrong with the buildings if they are flooding like Craven Hall, and the campus community has the right to know about i t But apparently, some people in Facilities don't see it that way. They gave the appearance that problems with the buildings are to be kept secret from the people who utilize the facilities every day. By doing t ha t they give the whole operation an appearance that is much more suspicious than I know it really is. o^ {/i&w ROMAN S. KOENIG something. This, however, was only t h e tip of the iceberg. Afterfinishingmy business in Student Health Sendees, I promptly left and went around to the front entrance of the building on the first floor. Just past the entry way to my right was the same hallway filled with what seemed like two inches of water on the floor. Just as I got my camera out of the bag, the workers stopped what they were doing and l ef t I asked them what was wrong and they said they didn't want their picture taken. I had no problem with that whatsoever. I f s always been my belief that if someone doesn't want a newspaper camera in their face, that right should be respected. I thought then I could at least get some information about what had happened. Then they got hostile with me, telling me that there were more important things to cover on campus. ...Not on a stormy Friday afternoon. Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy, when interviewed about the campus closure after the power outage on Feb. 18, had no problem telling Pioneer that there may have been flaws in how the closure was handled. He even put a bright side to i t saying that it brought to light the importance of haviiig a set plan in future instances of that nature. Those in Facilities who think that not talking about the problem is the avenue to take should reevaluate their way of thinking. The treatment I received last Friday was unfair to me, unfair to the campus community and unprofessional to say the least Physical problems, as I said, are to be expected in a new building, and although the flood looked bad, it would have been simple to explain what the problems were and how they were being rectified rather than to hide them under the table as these workers deemed necessary to do. If everyone treated me or any other reporter of this newspaper with the attitude that they can judge what goes in this publication, Pioneer would not be the independent campus voice it is striving to be. And the losers in that scenario would be you, the reader. �öfreetTäl» Q uestion : How could the Rodney King trial been handled better?

Letter shows writer's ignorance about gays I am in complete shock and utter disbelief after reading Irving Davis' letter regarding gays in the military in the last issue of the Pioneer. This disbelief stemsfromt h e fact that even now, in 1993, there is still ignorance in regards to the homosexual lifestyle and what it entails and the stupidity Mr. Davis shows when discussing AIDS. The question of letting gays in the military is moot There have been gays in the military since day one. If gays haven't made great contributions to the armed services, Mr. Davis, then why are gay veteran groups all over the country? There isa misconception that gay men are always on "the make" and that they only joined the military to meet men. I know of several gay men and women who have been (and actively still are) a part of our defense system. T hes e men and women joined for the same reasons that heterosexuals have: to serve their country, to get money for college and to see the world. Mr. Davis says to be aware of the "smokescreens" homosexuals are using to advance in society under the "guise of legal rights and discrimination.'' This is not a smokescreen. Your sexual orientation should make no difference in the workplace or in our existence in society; we are human beings just like everybody else and wish to be treated as so. We aren't asking for special privileges in this world, just for the discrimination and hatred against u s to end. As far as the death sentence we are all facing, do you not realize that the rate of Believe m ewhenlsay being gayisnot a choice. If it was do you think I would choose to be an object of ridicule and degradation by society and to hear ignorant people such a s yourself spou t s uc h prejudicial statements about something I had no control over? As far as "inevitable early death" that members of thegay community face, what do you base this on? Yes, there have been many members of thegay community who have died before their time (as the song says "...only the good die young."), but homosexuals lead long, h ealthy and extremely productive lives — just a s heterosexuals do. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you Mr. Davis, but we have been around for thousands of years and we will be here 'till the very end. You say our lifestyle offers no excuse and no future? It is true thathomosexualrelationships do not bring about procreation, but let me just say that I am looking to a very bright future. I am a junior here at CSU San Marcos working ongettingmyBachelor'sdegreeinEnglish and my teaching credential (yes, Mr. Davis, I am going to be a teacher. Can you handle that?). (/iect/g PUBLIC FORUM h eterosexual s contractin g AIDS h a s surpassed the homosexual community due to I.V. drug use, blood transfusions and unsafe sex practices? Although the gay community h a s received most of t h e attention in regards to the plight of AIDS, that is only because we are one of the few segments of society trying to educate misinformed people like yourself, Mr. Davis. AIDS is not a gay disease, it is everybody's disease. It has no face. T h e "wild plight ... into an early demise" that the gay community is heading for is absolutely blasphemous. We are not looking for a hedonistic existence. Like heterosexuals, we too are looking for that special someone, a loving partner and companion, and I am not asking for yours or society's approval on how I live my life. I am sure my dating practices are far tamer and safer than most heterosexuals. As far as the self-inflicted misery that accompanies being gay, that too is also untrue. The only misery afflicted upon me is by the uninformed members of society like yourself, Mr. Davis. Being gay is not something you choose. I knew I was different as far back as grade school. I was born this way, I wasn't recruited! I am also in a loving monogamous relationship with a law e nforcemen t student whom I hope to be with for a long time. No future, Mr. Davis?

Those patterns make life more real to me.' Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, director of Visual and Performing Arts I tV a rhythm that binds the mind, body and spirit Andfor Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, director of Visual and Performing Arts at Cal State San Marcos and the band Sankofa, the music is a rhythmic melody that comes straight from the soul. From traveling around the world, Amoaku, a native of Ghana and a virtuoso of t h e drums "Gyembe" and "Apantema," discovered diverse cultures have a common link. T h e result is Sankofa, a band that incorporates a cross-cultural blend of Afndmmusicand dance, calypso and American jazz. Amoaku's travels led to his interest in exploring the influence ofAfrican music in South America and the Caribbean. "I wanted to identify some of t h e elements in those various styles of African music," he said. The music had "a common ancestry, an ancestry that can be traced to a common root. Regardless of where you find it, those elements are always there,* Common e lement s flow through the heart of all art forms in Ghana. Unlike Western cultures, Ghanaians don't categorize music, dance and art, Amoaku said. Rather than approaching music intellectually u sin g a structured format, artists approach t hei r c raf t intuitively. Children play games that reinforce an attitude toward rhythm. Where Western cultures develop the eyes before the ears, Ghanaians develop the ears before the eyes, he added. "I was born into a society that views the arts as an integral part of everyday life," h e said. "My exposure to the arts came by virtue of my being part of my traditional environment." Amoaku began playing the drums at the age of 5 when his uncle gave him a toy drum. The child of an artistic family, he learned by example, imitating adults and participating in adult activities. Rhythm became incorporated into everyday life. "For me the drum is like pouring out my soul," he said. "It is a rhythm and speech instrument. So I was naturally drawn to it." Because of the instrument's ability to vary its pitches, the drummer can approximate the intonation and the rhythm in the traditional Ghanaian language. "It's like singinga melodic line. Those patterns make life more real to me." Not that Amoaku was without Western musical training. While in college he studied classicalguitar, however the two had a rather strained relationship.

Why is it considered rare? As Sprague explained it, the group seldomly meets for concerts because members of t h e quartet belong to other musical organizations. "It's a very high-maintenance group," said Sprague, adding that this is t h e first time the group has met for a performance infiveyears. T h e consort is made up of t hre e jazz musicians and four classical symphony artists. Works to be performed include originals by Sprague, and pieces by Bach, Mozart and pianist Chick Corea. A resident of Del Mar, Sprague has toured, made 21 records and h a s played and worked with the likes of Corea and bassist Bob Magnusson. Sprague said that t h e String Consort came about six or seven years ago after h e was inspired by pianist Corea. Sprague says that h e g et s inspiration for his works from one simple thing. "Mostly (my works are) originally inspired by either (musicians) that I've heard or actual people," h e explained. "One (song) is called 'Amadeus,' written for M ozart , and ' Mahavishnu ' f o r J oh n McLaughlin, a great jazz guitarist.'' Along with the consort, Sprague plays with other groups, including his Electric Band, in which he plays a guitar synthesizer Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1955, Sprague and his family moved to Del Mar in 1963 after spending time in Colorado. He took up guitar at t h e age of 12, later studying with San Diego jazz guitarist Bill Coleman and forming his first group, t h e Minor Jazz Quartet. Two performances of the String Consort will be held on campus, t h e first at 5 p.m. and t h e second at 7 p.m. T h e concerts will be located in room ACD 102.

ROMAN S. K E /ED1TOR-IN-CH1EF O NIG Recent comments made by state Sen. William A. Craven about undocumented Latino laborers, as reported in a February San Diego Union-Tribune article, have raised concerns over Craven's place in Cal State San Marcos' development as a university. According to Dr. Edward Thompson, president of the Academic Senate, Craven (R- Oceanside) reportedly made unfavorable comments about undocumented workers during a hearing on the issue in early February. Afterfindingout about the comments, the Academic Senate sent a letter to the senator asking to clarify his remarks as reported in the story, h e said. Thompson said t h e c oncerns surrounded comments reported in the Feb. 6 article where "he, in some respects, compared his hearings to aspects of lthe McCarthy hearings and hinting that there were good things about those hearings." In fact, the article states that Craven "...compared his investigation of migrant issues to that of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's hearings on alleged Communist infiltration of government in the 1950s, saying he did n o t s e e a nythin g w ron g with McCarthy's questioning either." The article further elaborated by reporting that Craven made commentsabout Latino workers'place in humanity. "It seems rather strange that we go out of our way to take care of the rights of these individuals who are perhaps on the ROMAN S.

"(There was a concern about) his characterization of immigrants as being of a lower level of humanity," said Thompson, "and this was a concern to the faculty because it goes against the university's Mission Statement" Thompson said that Craven responded to the Faculty Senate's letter by writing one back to the group, saying that his New parking construction to be reviewed tion here at CSU San Marcos," said Hinton.

Copies of both letters could not be obtained by press time, but have been circulated among the faculty on campus, said Thompson. Thompson's other concern, however, is that this incident could be blown out of proportion, saying that it is in the interest of the university to continue a dialogue with Craven on clarifying something that may not have meant as it appears. When asked about rumors that had surfaced that some members of the university community might call for Craven's name to be removedfromthe hall which it now adorns, Thompson said that he was not aware of it being mentioned. "That has not been posed as a concrete option," said Thompson, adding that the Faculty Senate has not yet discussed further steps in the dialogue established between the group and Craven. "This man has been instrumental in founding this university," h e said. Gerardo Gonzales, a psychology professor who is involved with the Latino Association of Faculty and Staff (LAFS), had stronger opinions about what Craven reportedly said.

KOENIG/ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF When it comes to gaining full accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Dr. Richard Millman says Cal State San Marcos isn't afraid to pursue the recognition two years earlier than is normally required. According to Millman, who serves as vice-president for academic affairs and accreditation liaison officer to WASC, the university is seeking full recognition now. "We have six years to apply for full accreditation," said Millman, "but with the quality of staff and students we felt it necessary to go for the accreditation now four years into the university's existence." Millman explained that there are three levels of accreditation: full, provisional or candidacy. A new university, h e said, cannot have full accreditation. CSUSM went through provisional accreditation in 1989-90, he said. "We have the most accreditation we can possibly have right 'One can never predict what an accreditation team will say, but this is an awfully good place.' Dr. Richard Millman, vice president for academic affairs now as a new university," said Millman. In order to receive full accreditation now, Millman said that the university had to develop a selfstudy, a document280pages long outlining what CSUSM wants to accomplish as a university. The WASC committee, made up of 12 members, that visits the campus will review this document and see if the university is meeting up to the nine standards set out in the study. Millman said once the study is reviewed by the visiting committee, it will report its findings to the university, interview CSUSM President Dr. Bill Stacy and presentitsfullreportto the WASC accreditation board, which will then determine if the institution will be given full accreditation. a I have enormous confidence in our faculty and in our curriculum that well get accreditation," said Millman. "We're all so close to the university we sometimes forget how good our curriculum and staff and students are.* According to Millman, t h e head of the university accreditatio n c ommitte e i s Carol Cartwright, president of Kent State University. One important factor, according to Millman, in the accreditation process is the holding of open forums for participation by faculty, students and staff. One forum is planned for each group, h e said. The student forum is scheduled for March 24 at 12 p.m., according to Nancy Curry, who is involved with CSUSM's end of the accreditation process. Additional information about t h e meeting can be obtained by calling Curry at 752-4129. Millman expressed confidence in CSUSM's ability to gain accreditation. "One can never predict what an accreditation team will say, but this is an awfully good place." Capitol rally frustrates AS representatives KATHY COMBS/ CONTRIBUTING WRITER A consorted effort to keep tuition fees in check left members of the Associated Student Council frustrated and cynical when they joined in a rally March 8. Over 500 students from the California State Student Association met on the front steps of the Capitol building to protest fees that have escalated by as much as 40 percent over the past year. "Student Lobby Day" also included workshops to focus on other problems related to financing a college education. T h e students participated but were not heard," said AS President Laura Mitchell. "We left feeling somewhat cynical about what legislators will do for the students." One bone of contention was a proposal which would cause students to fund one-third of their education. According to Karen Yelverton, associate director of governmental affairs for the California State University system, students only pay 19 percent of an average $7,800 annual c ost , she said. To offset the cost, the fee hikes would be coupled with a substantial increase in financial aid, she added. The added cost would be phased in over the next three years. "We're working on the premise t ha t t her e is no more s tat e money," Yelverton said. "I don't believe that even if there is some miraculous recovery that we will see any pennies from heaven in the next few years." Yelverton added that CSU shouldmovetowardapartnership between the state, the students and their parents. "The theory is that we not only have to reevaluate how we operate from the administrative and teaching perspective," she said. We also have to look at the level of subsidiary that the state can : afford to give students." Yelverton warned that without the badly needed funds, tenure faculty layoffs will be the next step. "If we use this new system there is new revenue," she said. Mitchell said she opposes the plan citing that it "pits the faculty against the students." "This is very harmful to students," she charged. "Legislators are making bad assumptions. Financial aid will not balance the fee hikes." Mitchell said students need to take a stand against the increases. She added that AS plans to create a report that will show the best way to contact the legislators in their area. Too many state officials believe students are apathetic, she said. "We're oldpr and wiser and we need to let them know t hat, " Mitchell said. �Student Counseling Resource Center & Psychological Adult Children of Dysfunc- S ervices tional Families supportgroup: T o be free people we must assume total responsibility for ourselves, but in doing so must possess the capacity to reject responsibility to reject responsibility that is not truly ours."

Graduation Career Center �Student Resource Center — a home away from home KATHY COMBS/ CONTRIBUTING WRITER It's a place to find a mentor, improve study skills or learn how toloseafewpounds. And ifyou're feeling a little lost, they'll even give you directions. At the new Student Resource C enter , w orkshops , s uppor t groups, private counseling and a map of Craven Hall are only a few of the services offered to students at Cal State San Marcos. In addition to regular seminars on topics from becoming part of a "single parenting network," to reducing "math anxiety", a menu driven computer software system is available to help students developbetter study skills. A "grade obsession" workshop is also on the agenda for March 18. According to Dr. Patty ElenzMartin, counseling psychologist for CSUSM, the services can be especially useful to students who have transferred from a community college. The transfer students have to put in more time at CSUSM than at the community college, she said. "If they can study more effectively they're able to do better with less time." Elenz-Martin said the center, which houses over 100 audio tapes, a dozen video tapes on stress management, diet and ways to quit smoking, was designed to meet t h e needs of CSUSM's unique student population. The majority of students are re-entry students, she said, they have jobs and families. "The center is a place students can come in and relax, feel comfortable," she said. "So many of the students are so busy, they don't take time for themselves." The Student Resource Center isn't only for busy students. In the near future, services will be expanded to aid disabled students, as well. And Elenz-Martin maintains feedback is always welcome. MICHAEL BAGSTAD/ PIONEER Mary Mita, a psychology student who is interning at t he Student Resource Center, demonstrates t he availability of self-help videos. "Giveusatopic.WeUresearch it," she said. "I)m here as a resource for students. They can decide what is most beneficial." The biggest hurdle the staff has faced is letting the students know the facility exists. According to psychology major Mary Mita, one of three interns working at the center, most students find thé Student Resource Center while searching for a room in Craven Hall. Traffic has been heavy enough to make giving directions a standard service. The Student Resource Center is located on the fifth floor of Craven Hall in room 5205. Hours arefrom9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Elections coming soon, candidates sought for open positions Student elections have been tentatively set for April 20 and 21 for several open Associated Student seats, according to Margaret Bennett of the AS. Bennett said that there are a total of 12 council seats up for grabs this year.

R r c o M > Y OUR , 1 A 5 T I W AW T TO >*L Craven comments are of concern, but don't jump to conclusions yet In this time of increased racial intolerance both here in the United States and abroad, itisrefreshing to go to a university such as Cal State San Marcos, a learning institution that is working hard to knock down the barriers of ignorance and build bridges of understanding. However, a dark cloud has now overshadowed this bright spot, and moreover it surrounds one man who has given so much to the university that the campus' crown jewel is named after him. There is no doubt that Sen. William A. Craven is to be applauded and recognized in this institution's history as one of the major figures in creating this university. Butif the reported quotes in the SanDiego Union-Tribune's Feb. 6 edition concerning migrant workers are direct and not perhaps a misinterpretation or misrepresentation of what the senator said, his place in history here should be given a good lookover. But there is the catch word — "if." The Union-Tribune article has clear, direct quotes from Craven that seem to convey a lack of knowledge of the problems of migrant workers. His comparisons of his hearings 011 the issue of migrant workers to the hearings of Sen. Joe McCarthy in the 1950s and his investigations into Communist activity are uncalled for. these individuals who are perhaps on the lower scale of our humanity, for one reason or another," the article directly quoted Craven. These few words can be interpreted in two basic ways: either Craven sees the American population (mainly white) as superior, or he means that they are at the lower end of "our humanity" in reference to the fact that they do not or cannot have the material wealth and help they need economically. He may very well have meant it in the least harmful way — but either his words didn't come outright or the reporter didn't write them down correctly. One of the big problems in journalism is that reporters are human and can make mistakes (unless they use a tape recorder) — one word out of place or changed can alter an entire phrase of what a person says to mean something entirely different. Pioneer applauds Dr. Ed Thompson , Academic Senate president, for expressing the need for dialogue in this matter r athe r t ha n conclusion-jumping. He stressed that the Academic Senate wants to clarify with Craven what was said instead of simply punishing or finger-pointing. Depending on how one interprets what Craven said, it can appear as if those words are in direct conflict with this university's l/ i&a/ tf PIONEER We at Pioneer are angered that such a respected official would look to McCarthy and his charade as a positive way of describing what February's hearing concerning migrants was all a bou t "Craven, R-Oceanside, compared his investigation of migrant issues to that of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's hearings on alleged Communist infiltration of government in the 1950s, saying h e did not see anything wrong with McCarthy's questioning, either," the Union-Tribune story reported. However much Pioneer disagrees with Craven's apparent interpretation of the McCarthy era, it is his right to hold that viewpoint and should thus not be punished for it by losing credibility here at Cal State San Marcos. Wherethebigquestionscomeintoplay are when Craven reportedly describes his views on the migrant issue. a It seems rather strange that we go out of our way to take care of the rights of Mission Statement of tolerance and inclusion. But we don't know if Craven's words just came out wrong 0f h e even believes they came out wrong) or if the translation from speech to print was disrupted somewhere along the line. Certainly, Pioneer cannot yet judge; we have yet to obtain the Academic Senate's letter and Craven's written response, we haven'tyet spoken with arepresentative of the Union-Tribune or of Craven's office. Within the short time that this story surfaced and the deadline for press there simply wasn't the time needed to delve further — but we will do so in the next issue. Until further facts and interpretations come out, it is important that no one condemn Craven. Once all the facts are in, then people can make individual judgements and the university can decide what its next step will be. Rumors have surfaced that there will be a call to have Craven's name removed from the building that bears it, and this was confirmed by Gerardo Gonzales in the story in this issue. If Craven ends up agreeing with the reported quotes and negative interpretations of what h e said, then that will be a valid call to action. But as before — "if," and only "if." �CONGRATULATIONS!

Director Arau was very impressed with the characterization that Arizmendi brought to the character of Rosaura saying, "She was very brave because she accepted the toughestrole. Rosaura is a character that is very despicable in the eyes of the audience." Said Arau "I needed an actress that deeply understood the character, the effect of the character on the audience, and she did. She is a splendid actress." Arizmendi really admired the way director Arau worked on "Like Water For Chocolate" saying, "I'm fascinated with t h e strength that h e has. He is constantly breaking the rules and doing things that your not suppose to." One of the rules that Director Arau broke was the amount of "I came to really love Rosaura.

She also feels that the state of Mexican cinema is definitely on an upswing. 'There's a law that passed in support offilm,sort of to encourage film making in Mexico which I think is going to make it easier ." An easier time may also be in store for Arizmendi "Like Water For Chocolate" has gained both audiences and critics approval. It has also collected a number of honors which include 10 Ariel Awards (Mexican Oscars), over 11 international festival awards, as well as a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at this years Golden Globe ceremonies. "I think now that I'm with this film, which is getting so much attention in the United States, it's easier to go to Los Angeles and say, Well, Now will you look at me?"* And attention is defiantly being givento Arizmendi. "It's been nice finding out that people are interested. Obviously, when they see me and they know that I speak English it becomes a whole new possibility." However receptive Hollywood is to Arizmendi, she is defiantly not going to sit quietly in the wings and wait for them to come knocking at her door. "I'm not justwaitingfor that next audition. Because I am a performance artist, I create a lot of my own opportunities." entitled "Damned Nostalgia: 1900 Mexico," which is scheduled to open in Los Angles in June.

She also finished an audition for the San Diego Repertory Theater's production of "Death And The Maiden," a theatrical piece that is sure to have Amnesty fans lining up to get seats. Arizmendifeels, "It's a wonderful play. It will be done in Spanish one night, English the other so it will be a very interestingproject" And all of this on top of the work Yareli does for California State University, San Marcos. "Basically, I'm creating the theater program in the Visual And Performing Arts area." So what type of art programs do students have to look forward to? "It's not going to be a traditional division of arts program," says Arizmendi. Tt will be an interdisciplinary arts program. The three disciples being Music, Visual Arts, and Theater." "We're trying to come up with a curriculum and tap down what the program is going to consist of. That's taking up a lot of time, and of course I'm teaching in the middle of all of this."

In Louis Malle's "Damage" and Neil Jordan's "Crying Game," however, audience expectation, falling prey to directorial manipulation, becomes the medium for innovative cinematic artistry, v Rather than astound audiences with an unforeseeable plot, Malle does his "Damage" through the magnification of the film's inevitability. If not in the title's blatancy, viewers will ascertain the picture's direction in a crucial opening scene wherein Stephen (Jeremy Irons) and Anna (Juliette Binoche) first meet, their eyes engaging in silent certitude. Having delineated the principle characters' relationships (Stephen is a married man; Anna is his son's lover), Malle immediately presents thefilm'sconflict and thus incites a premature tension which, even when the affair seems most sheltered, viewers cannot ignore. We may hope for their liaison to thrive, but our rational minds terminate such fanciful thoughts. But Stephen's rationality has been overcome by infatuation. About halfway into the film, he speaks of divorcing his wife (Miranda Richardson) in order to be with his mistress. Understanding the mechanism of desire, Anna quickly informs him that such an action would achieve nothing, as attraction, in this case, derives from their relationship's impossibility. Here, thecrux of thefilmemerges in anadage: people always want what they do A W iifc MIK JAMES HAMADA not (and cannot) have. Through a bit of dialogue, Anna reveals that her insight comes from personal experiences, for this present love triangle mirrors that of an earlier episode — one which ended in tragedy. Forthemostpart, however, Malle keeps the dialogue to a minimum, allowing the actors' eyes to say a great deal more than their mouths. This minimalist approach further increases the tension, and affords the film a cryptic aura. This is especially the case with Anna, whose appearance suggests both masculine and feminine attributes, and who, at the film's climax, while slipping away from the devastation she has provoked, becomes a metaphor for unattainable desire. Whereas Malle performs his experimentation within the confines of viewer expectation, Jordan workshis magic at the opposite extreme, shattering the confines and whirling viewer perceptions into a gyre of impracticability. Yet his center somehow holds. Such a center emerges by way of the parable Jody (Forest Whitaker) — a black British soldier kidnapped by IRA members — relates to Irish terrorist Fergus Forest Whitaker and Stephen Rea in Neil J ordan's "The C g Game." ryin (StephenRea),theessenceofwhich states that humans will act according to their natures — some will be stingers, others will be stung. All who watch thisfilmwill find themselves in the latter grouping. The word "game" of the title fits perfectly, as every scene involves one, not excluding the film's opening in which a slow pan captures, beneath a bridge, a carnival in the distance. Along with this odd sight, the crooning of Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman" rouses suspicious thoughts — what lies beneath that glossy surface?

Plan 9 will be whatever the university community (yes, f ol k s,\ that really does indude students, faculty, staff and admin- % istration) makes of it. Maybe Plan 9 will only last a few issues.

N o one said that he wasn't a brave man. This is an event that shouldn't be missed. Some students (and faculty and staff) are planning a protest of some sort based on Craven's comments about undocumented immigrants (as reported in the last issue of Plan 9). Sen.

Plan 9 From Outer Space! The educational administration is responsible for organiz­ ing the resources of the institution— the teachers, the students, the funds, the equipment and materials in such a way that all of the persons involved can work together toward defining and achieving their educational goals. The mainspring of the organization is the motiva­ tion for development and learning which is inherent in each person. The task of the administrator is to so arrange the organizational conditions and methods of operation that people can best achieve their own goals by also furthering the jointly defined goals of the institution. The administration finds that his work consists primarily of removing obstacles such as "red tape", of creating oppor­ tunities where teachers and students and administrators (including himself) can freely use their potential, of encouraging growth and change, and of creating a climate in which each person can believe that his potential is valued, his capacity for responsibility is trusted, his cre­ ative abilities prized. It should be dear from the above that responsibility and authority and initiative would be diffused throughout the group, in order to make the best use of all available knowledge, skill and originality, and thus to maximize the soundness of decisions. By following such a policy the development of the individuals involved is also maximized. The administrator has the task of using himself in just as fulfilling a way as he makes possible for his staff and students. He does not submerge himself, but uses his -Carl Rogers, Freedom to Learn leadership qualities, his vision, his wider information, all the characteristics which have led to his being placed in a position of responsibility, as positive input in a living and changing organization. Part of his function is to serve as a catalyst in releasing the capadty of others, but he is failing in his task if he does not release and develop his own potential as well. He is in the business of growing persons, but he himself is one of those persons. The educational administrator who follows the usual pattern in carrying responsibility for hisschoolsees histask as that of harnessing the energy of faculty and students so that the goals and requirements of the educational system will be met. In the first place he sees himself as responsible for organizingtheavailable money,equipment,and people in such a way as to achieve the educational goal which he has in view. This means that he must motivate and direct his faculty, and through them the students. It means that one of his main functions is to control the actions and to modify the behavior of all members of the school in such ways that the educational goal will be achieved. Central to his policies is the viewthat both faculty and students would be, if left to their own devices, apathetic to, or resistant to, the educational goal. Consequently, they must be re­ warded, punished, persuaded— through use of both the carrot and the stick— so that they work toward the goal which the administrator, or his board of trustees, or the state, has defined as"being educated.”This usual approach to educational administration has implicit in it a rather definite view of the nature of the human being. It is implied that both teacher and student are naturally apathetic and tend to avoid any strenuous effort Both teacher and student are seen as disliking responsibility and preferring to be guided or led. This view assumes that both teacher and student (but especially the student) are indifferent to achieving an educational goal and will only work toward this if a proper series of behavioral controls are instituted. -Carl Rogers, Freedom to Learn “Reading Plan 9 gives me a splitting headache.” iMrepressible �F orWhat It’s Worth We challenge the faculty to be courageous, There’s something happenin’ here There's a man with a gun over there H i i i N I I m sm university is a community of students and scholars: ibeiequai lot the positioit of dignity you should hold!

One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey Just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with Saint Augustine that "A n unjust law is no law at all." Now what is the difference between the two? How does one determine when a law is just or unjust? A just law is a manmade code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a mode that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of Saint Thomas Aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law. A ny law that uplifts human personality is just A ny law that degrades human personality is unjust -Martin Luther King, ]r. Check it OulB lo w V o u rfiind! Cool Tear and Taste ISIX Patch!

Craven Hall Dedication GUSanHarcosstudent,caughtby/%nlphotographerjeffHenson,atthemoment ofhis arrest by thecam pus’s newPublicSafetyCom andos. m Last Friday evening, a CSU San Marcos student was apprehended by the campus's Public Safety Commandos on the fifth floor of Craven Hall. The student, San Marcos resident Fred S. Dent, 29, was charged with violating the campus's secret Student Access Control policy (which prohib­ its students from entering Craven Hall except to pay fees) possession of subversive literature, conspiracy to commit a subversive act and suspicion of being San Marcos Man. Public Safety was first alerted to the presence of a student when History professor Jill Watts, diligently working late (as all faculty and staff should), noticed a copy of the commiepinko-gay-lesbian-feminist-man-hating-anti-establishment/Va/j 9 from Outer Space being slipped beneath her door. Ever alert to any menace to campus safety, Dr. Watts immediately notified Public Safety. Within hours, the campus's brand new Public Safety Commandos had apprehended and subdued Dent. On Dent were found nearly one hundred copies of Plan 9 and a copy of a story titled "Further Adventures of San Marcos Man!" (see page 7!!). Possession of these items conContinued on next page It’s Outrageous Oh boy, oh boy! The dedication of Craven Hall is coming up! There will be a "gathering" in front of Craven Hall at 10:00am, followed by the "Ceremony" at 10:30am on Mon­ day, April 19th. RSVPs have been sent out to faculty, staffand alumni. If you haven't been invited, you should show up anyway to either show your support for Craven or to show your displeasure with Craven and the rest of the MMAW GIS (mostly-middle-aged-white-guys-in-suits) who so desperately want to shove this issue under the rug. The backside of Craven Hall, which is all anyone ever sees anyway. Our Motto: Plan 9: “Using free speech like a blunt instrument” �p l a n1 Studeri! in Craven Hall (conti Armed that Dei was an active student radical and subversive agitator. According to campus policy, violation of the Student Access Control policy is punishable by expulsion, while possession of subversive literature is only punishable by torture. However, the charge of conspiracy to commit a subversive act along with the suspicion that Dent himself was the infamous San Marcos Man was enough to invoke the university's secret Sedition Policy, which states that any person accused (not convicted, mind you) of criticizing the university administration shall be executed. Dent was taken behind the Academic Hall building and executed less than an hour after his arrest. According to campus Public Safety ofAcer, Arnold (The Terminator) Trujillo, his death was "relatively painless, more or less." A top administration ofAdal, who for some reason declined to be named, stated that "this should be a lesson to a//students on this campus. Their job here is to get trained to All job slots, not to cause problems. This campus should not be perceived as a problem by the community, but as a source of properly trained employees." Dent's parents, long-time supporters of CSU San Mar­ cos, were quoted as saying, "We're very sorry about our son's death, but that kind of disrespect for authority can't be tolerated in this community. Why, we'd rather that they bulldoze the whole place and turn it back into a chicken ranch than let radical, secular-humanistic ideas become entrenched there." They also stated that they didn't have any idea where their son got such ideas from, "but it wasn't us! Probably some long-haired freak on campus; that com­ puter person, whoever he is. Now there's someone who should be shot!" Student reaction to Dent's death was subdued. Frat boy Aref Nohrudi stated, "Them radical scum deserve what they got cornin' to them. I wish I'd been there. Guess I missed out on the fun." Associated Students President, Laura Mitchell was rumored to have gone in to hiding and could not be reached for comment. We at Plan 9, o f course, abhor such violence and encourage all students to behave themselves. The distribu­ tion and consumption of subversive literature, like mastur­ bation, can lead to sodal awareness, political activism and blindness.

Coming to a Campus Near You! It’s Bizarre- �The Purpose 03763127 " f '* r g (Listen up, The following excerpts of a speech made by Sol H. Linowitz at a Cornell University dinner held in his honor last November in Washington, D.C . We have just come through our quadrennial spasm we call a presidential election. We have elected a new president and await with hope and expectation the leadership of a new generation. As we look back and reflect on the election, one thing seems increas­ ingly dean Millions of Americans in all walks of life - black, brown and white; blue-collar workers and white-collar workers; young and old; rich and poor; dty-dweilers and housewives; businessmen and consumers - all seem to feel themselves troubled and confused and at the mercy of forces they cannot influence or even understand. Somehow from the point of view of the average citizen, this elusive thing we call "the system" - the whole network of arrangements and institutions that determines the character and quality and often the content of our lives - hasn't seemed to be working. And we don't really know how to get a handle on our problems - or even if there is a handle. It may well be, as someone recently suggested, that ou r kinship today is not so much with the year 2000 as with the year 1776; and we may be back to the basics of trying to organize a newsociety and providing for its governance - to the very fundamental questions about how our society and our system are to function. I believe that if we are to get a handle on our problems and regain a clear sense of purpose for the future, no institution in our society can play a more important role or offer wiser guidance than a great university such as Cornell. For if a university stands for anything, it stands pre­ eminently for faith in reason rather than dogma, in rationality rather than inevitability, in the free rather than the enslaved mind. A university is our shining response to the prophets of doom, the demagogues, the bigots, the breast-beaters. In a university, we confidently reaffirm our belief in America as a place dedicated to the fulfillment of the American dream. A t a university, the businessman, the poet, the farmer, the philosopher, the artist, the doctor, the lawyer - ail work together in mutual respect to try to make that dream a reality. If we are to realize that dream, we will need as never before young men and women of breadth and perception who can help us find our way toward the nation we can yet be; people who will understand where we have been and where we are going; who know about the kind of world in which we live and the kind of future we are trying to achieve. We will need men and women able to communicate with one another and with other people and other places; people who know how to transmit and stimulate ideas; who recognize that things human and humane are more importantthan the computer, the test tube, the IBM or even the Xerox machine. We need people who will understand that "know why" is even more important than "know how"; who will try to see ou r problems as part of total human experience; and who are able to understand something of what yesterday teaches us about today and tomor­ row. in short we need young people who will be able to dream dreams and who will be unafraid to try to make them come true. We must look to our great universities such as Cornell to bring forth such men and women able to assume that kind of leadership and responsibility in our society and in our world. And nothing is more precious to our future than that such universities be enriched and strengthened to enable them to make their vital contribution. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by Itheir Creator with certain unalienable rights; that f S n g these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governedjthat,whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter, or to abolish it,and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles,and orga­ nizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. — Declaration of Independence lllltAmendment I Congress shall, make religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or of abridging William Stacy, a.k.a “ Cap’n BilP For crimes against the university and suspicion of being San Marcos Man.

If it was clear that his reasons were purely personal in nature, there would be no need to comment other than to say how much poorer the university will be without him and his vision of computing in the 21st century. However, it is all too plain that Robinson is not leaving on his own impetus. Oh, yes, it was his decision to leave, there is no doubt about that. But I would have left sooner had I been in his position. What does it say, Mr. President, about the top administration of a university when the Director of Computing is not invited to meetings discussing the construction of high tech computer class­ rooms for Phase UP What does it say about the top administration of a university when someone like Bernie Hinton can steal office space allocated to Computing 8C Telecommunications without bothering to get the consent of, or even inform, that department's director? What does it say about the top administration of a university when the President is repeatedly generous with his assurances to a Director that certain problems will be corrected, but is uniformly unforthcoming when it comes to actually addressing those problems? Indeed, if I were in Robinson's shoes, I would have left long ago. The sad thing about this is that Robinson is one of the last people we can afford to lose, if in fact this university is going to be the "University of the 2!st century." It's not my intent here to gratuitously heap praise on Robinson, but the fact of the matter is he is highly intelligent, critical, open minded, and possesses a comprehensive vision of the effect of technology on education. What is so wrong with such a person, who, in addition to everything else, is one of the most personable (if a little strange) administrators on this campus? We should all be ashamed at how this university is being run if it results in people like Robinson leaving. When all the good people are gone, Mr. President, who will be left? You and Bernie? And don't pretend that you can white-wash the issue with outright lies. I don't think that people are going to buy it any more. Last night, as I sat talking to Robinson, Dr. Chelle Boehning, Chair of the Computer Science Program, came in and announced that he had just come from the President's office. Dr. Boehning explained that Bill Stacy had told him that the reason that Robinson was leaving was because Robinson was upset at not having been appointed to several faculty selection committees (I'm not making this up, folks. Go ask Chelle.) Robinson responded by saying that that had never been an issue, had never been discussed and had never been a problem. Conclusion? The President of this university deliberately lied to one of the most influential faculty members of this campus. But why? Whatever the reason, it does not bode well for this university. The clear and driving force behind Mr. Stacy's actions is a pathological avoidance of controversy. He will tell anyone what­ ever it takes to avoid facing and dealing with difficult and contro­ versial issues. The Mission Statement says:"The University provides a variety of educational experiences in an environment that encourages students to examine moral and ethical issues central to their development as responsible men and women." But in direct defiance of that statement, he has encouraged the campus commu­ nity to let the Craven issue pass, saying (before the facts were in) that it was "time to move on and heal the wounds." Instead of encouraging "healthy skepticism, and the habit of continuing inquiry" the atmosphere here has become one of pervasive fear of questioning or challenging "the administration" and of "do-as-your-told-ism." Instead creating an environment that champions and "protects academic freedom," we have had to fight for every single form of expression on campus. In short, the administration of President Stacy has been one which has created an environment inimical to the university's Mission Statement If the president of a university is no longer willing to give even lip service to that institution's Mission Statement, then isn't it time to have that president replaced? If the president of a university is unwilling or unable to deal with controversy in a time when every aspect of our society is coming under scrutiny, isn't it clear that that person is unfit for the position that he holds? This university needs a president who is willing to take risks, able to trust the vision of his employees, eager to address contro­ versy in controversial terms, encourages change, and who supports, with his every action, word and deed, the Mission of this institution. With respect, Bill Stacy has proved that he is not that person. This letter may seem damning, and it is. And I may seem damned for writing it But I have been persona non grata with the top administration of this campus ever since the first time I told Bernie Hinton that I thought he was an asshole. I know that I am not long for this place. They want to get rid of me, and one way or another, they will. It will be a heavy financial hardship, but I would rather live in poverty than live in silence when I know a great wrong is being done. I believe in this campus in a way that Bill Stacy clearly does not And I am not afraid to say so, whatever the cost. Neither should you. Tony Dunn P.S.

It's resentment of another man's achievement Those touchy mediocrities who sit trembling lest someone's work prove greater than their own— they have no inkling of the loneliness that comes when you reach the top. The loneliness for an equal— -for a mind to respect and an achievement to admire. They bare their teeth at you from out of their rat holes, thinking that you take pleasure in letting your brilliance dim them— while you'd give a year of your life to see a flicker of talent anywhere among them. They envy achievement, and their dream of greatness is a world where all men have become their acknowledged inferiors. They don't know that that dream is the infallible proof of mediocrity, because that sort of world is what the man of achievement would not be able to bear. They have no way of knowing what he feels when surrounded by inferiors— hatred? no, not hatred, but boredom— the terrible, hopeless, draining, paralyzing boredom. O f what account are praise and adulation from men whom you don't respect? Have you ever felt the longing for someone you could admire?

We pit our second letter! This one’s from CSUSMstudent Don Scott If youwanttoseeyour name inprint,justdropoffyour“sophomoricdiatribe" inourbox in theAS Office. Please notethattheAStakes no responsibilityfor the items dropped in our box. The other day while I was busily doing my rounds at the Dome Cafe I had the unpleasant privilege of watching our AS President, Laura Mitchell, vigorously defending the rights of some students to post (on the Free Speech Board) material that was critical of Sen. Craven's racist remarks. It wasn't adminis­ tration officials complaining, but fellow students! They felt the material posted was offensive to them. Give me a breakS! IF you want to talk offensive, how about the comment on the board where a student laments that all she or he can see in the cafe are "fags and dykes." O r better yet, how about Craven's remarks that undocumented workers are on the "lower scale of human­ ity!" Why would anyone, our administration included, want to defend or white-wash the words of a bigot? Sen. Craven hasn't disclaimed his remarks, he said they were "misconstrued." How in the hell do you misconstrue "lower scale of humanity?" He said he didn't mean it. He is a professional politician, and he knew he was in front of news reporters and cameras. That means he is either a blatant racist or an idiot. The dedication of our administration hall to this man has already upset almost every Latino and Latina on our campus, but why should we stop there? I'm sure with a few more creative dedications we can manage to piss off every member of the human race. Why not start by dedicating the Free Speech Board to Craven's hero, Senator Joseph McCarthy? We could then dedicate the A rt Dept, to Sen. Jesse Helms, the Science Dept, to Williams Jennings Bryan (remember the Scopes trial?). Then let's dedicate the Woman's History Dept, to Phyllis Schlaffly. And there are things beyond departments that we could dedicate. We could dedicate the landscaping to Cesar Chavez, or the garbage heaps to Malcom X. How about dedicating the closets to either Harvey Milk or Alien Ginsberg. We could finish off by dedicating the back seat of the shuttle bus to Rosa Parks, and the toilets to Martin Luther King. As it is, I'd rather dedicate my college education to Timothy Leary,and dropout. Donald Scott Letter to Bill Stacy Dear President Stacy, It seems that CSUSM has reached the frontier that we were bound for when we decided to embark on the quest to build a new university. I think that it's a good time to stop and reflect on what we've done and what we've experienced. Unfortunately, I feel that the events of the last few weeks have overshadowed many good accomplishments. A t my acceptance to CSUSM, I was overjoyed and optimistic And the first two years I attended were both exciting and enjoyable. I was proud to say that I was involved in forging the school of the 21st century. It had the feel of trailblazinga new path in hopes of making CSUSM theschool o f the 21st century. Theschool of the 21st century had many connotations for me. First, wasa place where technology was embraced and used to the full extent of its capabilities. Second, was to create an environment where all disciplines would have equal import and acceptance. Third, was the amazing challenge to build, from the ground up, a place where academic pursuits would dominate, without the petty politicking university environments are known for. Alas, it has come to pass that these things would not be true. Indeed, what has come into being is a university that ensconces the value-frigid ideals of the administrations of the 50's and 60's... In the realm of science, I have never seen lack of support for programs and ideas. But that is what I have witnessed from the administration toward the biology department here. While the other sciences (Psychology, Mathematics and Computer Science most notably) have developed robust curricula with funding for the programs, biology remains wallowed in administrative red tape, to the extent that many biology majors are not getting the essential classes needed to hold a baccalaureate degree. While I realize that inside most sciences there are various approaches to the many topics that make up the discipline, I see no need to gut a department because administration and department faculty cannot reach agreement upon a definitive course of action. But I feel that recent events are far more distressing. I began see that the administration had lost touch with the students here when the free speech zone was under consid­ eration. It is ludicrous for the administration of a public university to even consider areasofthecampus wherespeech may be censured! Let alone establishing these zones! I am insulted that the idea for limiting areas of free speech (amplified or not) came from inside the administration! In my view of the world (somebody please teil me if I am too Continued on next page I can't stand it! I can't take it any more!

They actually thought it was a good idea! Morons, every last one of them!” By now, not having taken a breath in well over a minute, San Marcos Man's face was beginning to turn blue. But he had hit his stride, and was loathe to pause. "Craven was right, dammit! Hell, he went easy on the bastards! They the lower scale of humanity, if that.

The purpose of the staff is to do our dirty work, the faculty to teach and the students to pay fees and take classes. This business of criticizing the administration is totally out of line, and I'm sick of id We make the decision* the students, staff and faculty should just accept that. WE ARE GOING TO BE IN CONTROL, if we have to terminate everyonewho dares to disagree. That student caught in Craven Hall should be a lesson to the slime here!” By now, the lack of oxygen had gotten to San Marcos Man's brain (about time, huh?), and he fell, convulsing, to the floor. But he lives on, spreading his creed of middle-aged-white-male domination. He is the enemy. Watch for him.____________ San Marcos Man sat back fn his chair, a frown lining his face. The setting sun shone sickly through the windows of his seventh floor Craven Hall office. In his hands was the new issue of Plan 9 from Outer Space. 'Damn,” he thought, as he read this sentence, ”1thought that getting rid of that pesky Bill Robinson would put an end to this foolishness, but apparently not. M y minions were wrong once again about Robinson being the source of the campus radicalism.” In disgust, he threw down Plan and picked up the BladeCitizen. "Now here's a paper that respects authority,” he thought He flipped to the North County section and leaned back in his chair. ”Ahhh, this is more like it” San Marcos Man reached for his morning cup of coffee. At the very moment that he took a sip, his eyes fell on a headline reading 'Alternative magazine, Plan 9, invades CSSM.” Reflexively, he spewed coffee over ail of the very-really-no-kidding-we're-serious-absolutelyimportant-and-vital papers stacked neatly on his desk. To his chagrin, both Plan 9and the Biade-Qtizen article on Plan 9 were unspotted. "Goddammit!!!” he yelled, ”1can't stand this place!” A half an hour later, after he had recovered from his temper tantrum (mommy had never had the guts to whack him far off base), in a country that guarantees the right of every back into reality), San Marcos Man picked up the Bfade-Gtizen ddzen to say whatever they feei, it is preposterous for the once again and began to read, "it's treasonous, all right,” he administration of a small university to censure its students. mumbled as he read the article's opening line, ”the people What is the logic here? Is the administration afraid that we responsible should be shots." Once again, he felt a tantrum may not be adult enough to handle this awesome responsi­ coming on, but this time he controlled himself. He read on, cursing under his breath. ”...'evils of bureaucracy,' my assS” he bility? That perhaps we need a dult supervision to exercise nearly shouted. "What's evil are these... these peop/e(he nearly our right to free speech? That seems a little sophomoric to spit the word) who think that they can just run around me. What about Senator Craven's remarks? Are we to criticizing the administration of this university, univer­ sity, with impunity! Goddammit! There oughta be a policy believe that the administration will wave its magic wand and everything will be okay? How can we sit by and allow the against that!” He was hot on the topic now, and began ranting to the man who we elected to serve our community deface many empty room. Out in the outer office, San Marcos Man's three of its citizens? It is pure folly for Craven to think that the secretaries locked the doors and headed for the Dome Cafe for entire community that elected him to his position would back his comments, or accept his cursory explanation of the what they knew would be a long coffee break. "These people, like Robinson and the fucking goddamned event I hold Craven responsible for his words, just as the faculty, think that they can have a say in the way that this administration must hold us responsible for ours (maybe if university is run!
