"There is no one department; it is the spirit of CSUSM that makes the difference not just with ACE Scholars but Veteran, Native Americans and others. They are all accepted and valued and that is the major contributor to our success." Earlier this year, Jan and Esther Sterns made a generous donation of $1 million to ACE Scholars to create an endowment and the new center. The new center, which is located in Craven Hall 3400, has a large study area with new computers, training room, program offices, community resource office and student lounge. "We have only been in the new center just over three months so we are just beginning to learn how this environment is impacting ACE Scholars," Mickelson said. "I have however seen the pride our ACE Scholars have for this center." ACE Scholars will have their graduation celebration at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 7 in the Tukwut Courtyard. Mickelson said that it is open to all and he encourages all members of the campus community to attend. "We have many graduation celebrations on this campus where family friends and loved ones can come and rejoice in the students ' success," he said. ' Many of the ACE Scholar lack such support, however the CSUSM community comes out to fill that gap." �Email survey seeks students' views on campus climate B Y K ATLIN S WEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Students are being encouraged to complete a campus climate survey about the atmosphere both in and out of the classroom at CSUSM. The survey, which is conducted by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute, collects responses from participants about academics, relationships with students and faculty, campus activities and campus services. The survey is intended for undergraduate students who have experienced campus climate, completed at least 30 units and are not graduating this semester. The email was first sent to eligible participants on March 6. Students that are interested in taking the survey should look through their inbox and deleted mail f or an email with the title "Share Your CSUSM Experience & Enter to Win a Fall 2015 Parking Permit!" Participants will be entered into a drawing to win a Fall 2015 CSUSM parking permit (which totals a $338 value) or one of five $50 Visa gift cards. Winners will be randomly selected on or before June 3. Matthew J .

The basketball studentathlete Jacob Andersson reveals what made his stint at CSUSM noteworthy. When asked how his experience has been while at CSUSM, Andersson had nothing to complain about. "Overall it's been a great experience," said Andersson. "As far as basketball, my two years here both had bumps throughout the season, but we've always manage to figure things out. Overall it's all positive." Andersson discloses his most memorable moment came during the final game of his 2014 season. "It was really bittersweet, but in the fourth quarter we had the greatest comeback that I've seen or been a part of," Andersson said. "That personified the whole team of that year because everybody was really dedicated and hard working. Everybody really had each other's back, so even though we ended up losing the game in overtime; that was a feat that I 'm not going to forget in a long time." It is interesting to note that Andersson's first sport was Patchen enhances skills not basketball even though his father was a part of Sweden's first basketball league. He started off playing sports like ice hockey and soccer. And when he tells you why he switched from ice hockey to basketball, there was a logical reason behind it. "I never really started playing basketball and he [his father] was not trying to push me to play basketball," said Andersson. "I played hockey until I was 15. I was more talented in basketball than I was in hockey and basketball was a better experience to be around as a team with players and friends. I think that was a big factor for me." The time is near for Andersson to take the next steps in his life, a task that many are quite nervous about. That doesn't seem to be the case for him, however. "I definitely feel prepared in the way that Cal State [San Marcos] has prepared me as much as it should for my next step," Andersson said. "Since I am a Psychology major, most Psychology majors do go on to get their masters or PhD, so it's definitely not like I've reached the goal of my academic career so far. Cal State has helped me to be where I want to be at this point, but I still have some ways to go." Photo courtesy of Matt Berson Well, there you have it. Jacob Andersson, the former ice hockey player and future psychologist says he is prepared for what is next. His favorite memory may not have been a winning effort, but it sure can be something that will remind him of the bumpy roads and show him how far he's come. Best of wishes to you Andersson. Q&A with hurdler Damon Moore B Y B URTLAND D IXON SPORTS E DITOR Photo cùuttesy of Matt Berson BYAMYGHASTAIN A SSISTANT S PORTS E DITOR With a plan for the future in place, CSUSM baseball player Ray Patchen spoke to The Cougar Chronicle about college and his vision for life after graduation. Patchen gave a token of advice tofellowstudentsathletes who have yet to graduate. "Enhance your time management s kills" he said. "You can't play a sport forever, at some point you're going to have to graduate and go on in professional life." Looking back on life as a studentathlete, Patchen highlighted two accomplishments he is particularly satisfied with. "I am really proud of my hit streak that I got earlier this year, a 24game hit streak," he said. "Also every semester I've been in school since I was a freshman in high school, I 've had over a 3.0 GPA." After college, Patchen hopes that baseball will continue to be apart ofhis life .As a Communication ma- jor, he wants "to one day use that [degree] to become a professional major league [ MLB] umpire " Not only does he hope to pursue a career as an umpire, but Patchen also has his eyes set on management training positions. The five week " MLB accredited umpire school starts in January out in Florida" said Patchen. He intends on going through the course in hopes of being a M LB umpire. Patchen, an infielder for the Cougars is the only baseball player graduating this year. In his time at CSUSM, Patchen has left his mark not only on the baseball field but also in academics. He is only the second baseball player in program history to receive the Capital One/CoSida Academic All District Team honors. This award is given to players for exemplary performance both in the classroom and on the field. Patchen's success at Cal State San Marcos could be an indicator of things to come.

For s ome| there are more semesters to go; however, for senior Damon Moore or as his friends call him DJ, his time here, at CSUSM as a studentathlete is numbered. The All American track and field hurdler may be on his way to accepting his diploma, but leaving CSUSM also means leaving behind fond memories, a caring professor and a moment to last forever. Cougar Chronicle: What has made your time here at CSUSM memorable? Moore: Joining the track team and being very involved on campus. Being really involved and having track to push me to get good grades, to study more and to compete. I think if I wasn't in a sport I don't think I would have enjoyed myself as much as I did. CC: What was your favorite moment while competing in track? DM: Being an AllAmerican (becoming Ail- Photo courtesy of Matt Berson American in track requires a top nine finish at the highest level of competition in the nation) at Nationals and having the school record. We came into Nationals ranked 13 th and we came out placing fourth. I think that was the best moment of my life. CC: Out of all your years here, who was your favorite professor and why? DM: I 'm going with [Professor] Chadwick because she's a Women's Studies professor and I was a little skeptical about taking Women's Studies. I took her 101 class that I really liked and she made me think about certain issues I never thought about before. She's really passionate about what she is teaching and she really makes us look at things in a different perspective. There was a time when I was having some issues, and she understood and talked to me because she could relate. I 'm going to really miss her when I graduate. CC: What are your goals for after you graduate? DM: I got offered a track position out here in San Marcos and a head coaching job out in my hometown, Vista Murrieta. [I want to be] either a track coach or pursue my dreams in the entertainment field as in acting. Over summer, I 'm going to work with somebody who is in that field as a director and be her personal assistant to see if that's really want I want to do. From experiencing what he deemed the best moment of his life while competing, to having a professor he could talk when he was in rut, Moore surely did have plenty to enjoy while here at CSUSM. Congratulations and good luck on your journey after graduation, Moore. Ex-Charger's workout perfect for college students B Y A MY C HASTAIN ASSISTANT SPORTS E DITOR Shedding over 80 pounds in five months is no small feat. Yet, Nick Hardwick, the retired San Diego Chargers center, has done just that. The former football player began his weight loss project in 2014 upon his exit from the NFL after suffering a neck injury. During his 11 year career, Hardwick weighed around 295 pounds. As a center, Hardwick used his weight to push the defensive players back and protect his quarterback Philip Rivers. At his Feb. 3 retirement ceremony, Hardwick stood before the press at 208 pounds down from 293 pounds, according to a tweet by UT San Diego writer Michael Gehlken. Hardwick's focus on a healthy life was all but confirmed when he stood before the media with this new slimmed down frame. On his Instagram account, Hardwick stamps himself as a "fitness junkie" and "health nut." Hardwick's various social media platforms consistently highlight his wife and children, but now they detail his journey to health through food and fitness. He shares workouts which are perfect for college students. These workouts are quick and hardhitting. They can be done in 20 minutes or less, and with minimal equipment. The most unique part about the following workout is that Hardwick did it in skinny jeans. When questioned by a fellow Instagram user on why he was wearing jeans, Hardwick responded that he was "just proving that you can do this workout anywhere. In any attire." One minute of each of the following (no rest between exercises). Do as many as possible within the time frame. Rest 30 seconds after cycle is completed. Repeat 2 to 5 times. Jumping Jacks Squat Lunges Mountain climbers Push ups If Nick Hardwick can do five rounds of this workout in skinny jeans, it is not wild to think it is an attainable workout for any college student. �T H E C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W E D N E S D A Y , M A Y 6 , 2 0 1 5 GRADUATION PROFILES JJ Gutowski exemplifies servant leadership B Y C HRIS M ORALES P HOTO E DITOR Jeff "JJ" Gutowski is an outstanding scholar, leader and mentor who has learned from the manyhardships he has faced in life and will leave a lasting legacy at CSU San Marcos. Gutowski, a Business major with a Political Science minor, will graduate from CSUSM in May after arriving to the university in 2010. In the five years he has attended San Marcos, Gutowski has been deeply involved in Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), ACE Scholars, Model United Nations and the California State Student Association. After moving to Hemet at the age of 10, Gutowski attended Tahquitz High School where he credits much of his success originated. "As far as Tahquitz goes, I give so much credit to the teachers and everyone that absolutely laid the foundation for me," he said. "They provided me with so much opportunity constantly for growth." Personal growth is an aspect of life that Gutowski has become familiarized and more comfortable with over the years. He credits his growth as a leader to not only his many successes in life, but his mistakes as well. The current ASI Vice President of External Affairs reflected on some of those moments from his freshman year. "I needed to turn in an ASI application. I was five minutes late turning in the application, [it] delayed me a whole year," Gutowski stated. "Another regret: for the orientation team, I went to apply and I wrote it in pencil. Didn't get the position because of that." Gutowski now writes all of his applications in pen. Putting in the "extra 10 percent" has now become a mantra that Gutowski has chosen to follow in order to develop himself to the fullest extent. This personal growth has resulted in a character that learns from his mistakes, and is able to find success by overcoming these constant hardships. "I still mess up every day. It's just taking that nasty anxiety feeling and turning it into something positive," Gutowski said. He credits his growth and success to many mentors, but he also believes that his greatest success is being a mentor to others. Spreading positivity and building healthy Photo by Chris Morales Gutowski shows off his Cougar pride. relationships with others are small steps he chooses to take on his monumental path as a servant leader. "If you're going to be a leader it has to be because you're empowering other people," Gutowski said, Once you do that, I think you're going to be on a good path." Gutowski leads by example, and examples like his are hard to come by. He will be pursuing a career with Latham & Watkins LLP following graduation; but his legacy, filled with a multitude of friendships and mentorships, will be looked up to by future Cougars as the definition of servant leadership. Kamalayan Alliance President champions leadership and community B Y S HANICE D AVIS A SSISTANT FEATURES E DITOR In the fall of 2011, Nicole Diwag began attending CSUSM, declaring her major as Criminology with a minor in Women's Studies. With her time on campus, she has built her reputation as being the President of the Kamalayan Alliance (KA). In addition to being the pus, so I like seeing all these different events that go on," Diwag said. In fact, she saw this same growth within the KA organization ."For me being president of the Filipino organization and seeing where I started and where I've gone, I 'm glad that we are starting to set our roots more on campus rather than Photo courtesy of Nicole Diwag just keeping to ourselves.

"He said, ' I'm here for you, the school's here for you.' To me that was a profound moment because professors have very busy lives, but when a professor tells me that they're there for me, that reassures me that I 'm not just a number, I 'm not just part of a system." Usually, once someone graduates, they're either heading to grad school or going to work, but Diwag has a different course of action she'd like to take first. "This is going to sound so silly, but every single day after graduation, I 'm going to drink coffee out of an actual ceramic mug because I've been drinking it out of thermoses or disposable cups, and I 'm tired of that." Proceeding while chuckling, " I'm going to wake up, really enjoy my coffee, read the news, but more seriously, I 'm going to be studying for the LSAT. I plan to go to law school. I also plan to work, but I 'm giving myself a year, so I 'm definitely going fo slow things down," said Diwag. For potential law schools and jobs, Diwag* says she doesn't want to speak on the matter and cause bad juju. As to where she sees herself in the next ten years, Diwag is not interested in finding Mr. Right, being married with kids, but in fact, to be out making a difference and searching for progression ."I want to give back to the community and I want to help empower them the way they empowered me," she says as she recites a quote that symbolizes who she wants to be. "I carry the dreams of the community that raised me." " I'm definitely not done learning, I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, I expect that I will travel more,to places you don't hear about." "All the stuff going on, all the discussions people are having, I hope there's progress, in ten years, I want to still be having those discussions. I hope that me and other people can talk about it easier and that we won't have to walk on our tiptoes, we can just say something." And for future graduates, Diwag has a final piece of advice ."If you are ever given an opportunity, consider it and then if you decide to take that opportunity then do it, kick that door down and just kick ass at it. Prove that this opportunity was given to you because you are the best performing at it. If not, learn how to gracefully bow out of commitment," she said.

Upon being dropped in the den, she immediately found her clique at the ASI LGBTQA Pride Center, a place that helped shape her to be the woman she is today. "It was my home away from home. A place I could go between classes, eat lunch, make friends and be involved in social justice," Baca said. "I learned so much about the LGBTQA community, and it helped me become more comfortable with myself as a queer woman of color." Given that the LGBTQA Center became Baca's home, it was only right, that had the opportunity presented itself, she'd take it. "It gave me a chance to give back to the center which I called home. I wanted to create a welcoming and supportive space for all students, the very same welcoming and supportive space I was given as a freshman," Baca said. "I wanted to help maintain the very space that helps students feel at home at CSUSM, so that they can also find a place to belong," she said. It is clear that the Pride Center is Baca's pride and joy, and even less surprising is the fact that she dubbed In May, Baca will be graduating and saying her final goodbyes to the educational system. She has a job lined up for her as an IT desk technician for a wholesale sports apparel manufacturer.

"Eventually, my plan is to become a pediatric nurse practitioner," said Silvas. "Also, I plan on interning in a hospital to get more experience in the field as well as continue research that I have been working on at CSUSM." While attending CSUSM, Silvas became involved in surf research, participating in three studies and having the opportunity to present the first at the Southwest American College of Sports Medicine Conference (SWACSM) in Costa Mesa in October 2014. She will be presenting again at the end of May at the American College of Sports Medicine's 62nd Annual Meeting at the. San Diego Convention Center. "I never thought I would have such an incredible opportunity to get involved in research and present a study at conferences like these, but I have definitely grown a lot from these experiences," said Silvas. Silvas never thought she would become involved in school or student organizations until she realized how much she enjoyed the Kinesiology Club and the individuals within it. She became the president of the club when the opportunity presented itself and she decided to go for it. "Taking on this role helped me gain confidence in speaking in front of a group of people, organizing and coordinating events, and provided me with a great opportunity to get more involved and TM ra-ka-de-ka F r e s h Thai Kitchen FREE THAI TEA WITH PURCHASE OP ENTREf FOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY 801S* Twin Oaks Valley Rd, # 101 San Marcos, CA92078 ?60-?$S-42£0 ftAKAOEKA.COM O f f m NOT VALID FOB DELIVERY more familiar with the Kinesiology Program and getting to know the students and faculty better," Silvas said. "However, I must thank my advisor, Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, my club executives, students involved and other faculty members who helped me throughout the year." CSUSM Kinesiology professors and faculty members are one of the elements of her college experience she will never forget. "They taught me so much, kept me grounded and believed in me, even when I didn't believe in. myself and really pushed me to succeed," said Silvas. "They inspired and continue to inspire me to work hard and never give up. I will miss having that incredible support system and will miss spending time in their classes and labs. Honestly, I couldn't imagine accomplishing what I have without them." While growing to love the atmosphere of CSUSM, Silvas met many friends who have had a positive impact on her life "I have met so many incredible, unique and brilliant individuals at CSUSM that I will never forget and have made some lifelong friends," she said. "I will definitely miss coming here every day, but I am excited to see it continue to grow in the future." Vivian Nguyen is a dynamic student leader at CSUSM who is grateful for the experiences and opportunities she has had throughout her college career. In her fifth year here on campus, Nguyen is all set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences in May. She is currently the Outreach and Communications Specialist for the University Student Union Activities Board (USUAB), and has also been involved in other organizations such as Orientation Team (O Team) and Alpha Omicron Pi. Through her involvement in these organizations, Nguyen said that she has been transformed and has been given the opportunity to grow through these experiences. "I wasn't involved at all in high school, besides marching band my freshman year. In college, I ended up applying to OTeam on a mere whim, and it helped me grow so much as a person and eventually made me realize that I could in fact be a leader some day," she said. "One of my best friends from OTeam, Dominica Ranieri, pushed me to apply for USUAB , which really became the heart of my transformation on campus... [and] Alpha Omicron Pi showed me the importance of sisterhood, and gave me a hundred sisters when I had no siblings in my family life at home." When asked about the impact she has made at CSUSM, Nguyen humbly responded by saying that she hopes she has been able to influence at least some of her peers during her time as an undergraduate.

She is graduating this semester with a degree in Global Studies and History. She is involved on campus, most notably at the Office of Global Education.

She hopes to someday "inspire students to continue their education in whatever they want." She decided to choose both of her majors when she was When it comes to advice for other students, those still in the battle for a degree, she has one piece of advice. "Go out and get out of your comfort zone. Meet new people and discover new places," Sanchez said.

According to Guzman, her time at CSUSM has been challenging but rewarding. She especially likes how professors on campus challenge their students to think critically. She said that it helps to "further broaden our perspective on various topics," especially in her area of study. Guzman's Christian faith has been a major part of her life, one that has helped her through these challenging years at CSUSM. "My vision for the future is no longer blurred.

He also holds two associate degrees from Palomar College in San Marcos, which he got before transferring to CSUSM in 2013. He's been a student here over the past two years and has enjoyed his time on campus thus far. He attributes this experience to the people. When I asked him what he meant, he simply replied that "the people are kind." He spends some of his free time on campus with a group of local and international friends at the Global Education office during the week. The Office of Global Education is a hangout spot for many in- the departments and students. He said that only a "limited amount of people know about all activities in our major" because all of the information and/or opportunities aren't communicated to students. Aside from this, he had one piece of advice for current or inPhoto by Gloria Magallanes coming students: "There's a lot of free food on camternatiorial students as well pus!

International student says farewell to CSUSM B Y G LORIA MAGALLANES ASSISTANT O PINION E DITOR Izumi Furusawa is currently an international student here at CSUSM. She hails from Tokyo, Japan where she started her academic studies before transferring to this university. She's been here for over two years studying Global Studies and will be participating in the commencement ceremony in May, although she'll be officially done in the fall. Furusawa has always been interested in foreign countries because of her family's love of traveling. She was exposed fo different cultures at a young age. It was this exposure that led her to come to America as well as her love of foreign cultures. "America has more diversity. This is diversity. Diversity means the world to me," Furusawa said. Being a student at CSUSM is an advantage for Furusawa and her future career because American degrees are more valuable in Japan. However, all good things must come to an end. After she gets her degree she will have to return to her native country Japan even though she doesn't want to. "My goal is to come back here through a Japanese Photo by Gloria Magallanes company," Furusawa said. Throughout the two years that she's been here, CSUSM and California life have become a part of her. She especially likes our campus and environment. "I love it here 'cause it's small enough. If I walk around on campus. I see people that I've said hi to before and eventually it's easier to befriend them." Despite this experience, she's also realized that not every student is as warm. "I feel like American students are not interested in foreign culture. They don't care about internationals. In Japan, we are interested in international students, unlike here... here people don't care where I 'm from," Furusawa said. Nonetheless, she admits that she has been impressed many times by locals and their ability to talk to strangers, something that is not done in Tokyo. "I feel like people here are more kind. They are caring of others." It's hard to envision a life without the people she has come to know and love. "I really, really like it here. I've met so many people from around the world. I've made many American friends," Furusawa said. Overall, Furusawa is a fun, loving and adventurous person. She is full of life and laughter. There is no one else like her, she can't be replaced and because of this, I 'm certain that she will be dearly missed on campus, especially by her friends, the ones that have become family. All these experiences are memories she will have and cherish for many years to come. Congratulations, Izumi! Cheers to you and your accomplishments! Hugo Piñales, takes risks and breaks boundaries B Y JASMINE D EMERS N EWS E DITOR Hugo Pinales is a graduating senior at CSUSM whose work ethic shines through in hisunbreakable and dedicated presence on campus. Pinales is in his fifth year at CSUSM and will be receiving his bachelor's degree in Communication with a minor in Spanish. He is currently the Student Building Lead for the University Student Union and, during his time at CSUSM, he has also been involved with Orientation Team (OTeam), the University Student Union Activities Board, the Peer Mentoring Program and Student Life and Leadership. "CSUSM has really helped me grow as a human being through my involvement and my academics," said Pinales. Through his hard work and dedication, Pinales has been able to make a longlasting impact on the campus and his peers. "I hope that I am able to inspire students with different personalities to take the risk and find a special space on campus," he said. As graduation approaches, Pinales said that there are many things he is going to miss about CSUSM and that he has been able to learn so much from the Photo courtesy of Hugo Pinales people who surround him. "I am going to miss all the staff, faculty and students that have made my experience at CSUSM memorable, especially the staff and students that I have [been] able to work with at the University Student Union. They have allowed me to gain new and rewarding experiences that have made me to be a better leader at CSUSM," he said. As a first generation college student, Pinales explained that he is very proud of himself for taking on challenges and finally making it to graduation. When asked who has inspired him to achieve these goals, he said he turned to his parents. "My parents have always been my inspiration. Yes, it may sound cliché, but they have been extremely supportive during my five years at CSUSM. I see my parents as risk takers at a young age [because] they both came to the US for a better liv- ing. Through dedication and a high work ethic, they both became naturalized citizens, fulfilling their number one goal," said Pinales. "They have taken risks and dealt with challenges in life, but their passion and hope to overcome these obstacles inspire me everyday to push forward with my goals and aspirations." Pinales also plans to continue achieving his goals by continuing his education at San Diego State University. "I have accepted the offer to attend San Diego State University for a twoyear graduate program to receivé a Masters of Arts in Postsecondary Educational Leadership with a Specialization in Student Affairs. Also, I will be working for SDSU Residential Education." Pinales will take his memories and experiences from CSUSM and continue on his journey towards success. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 9 T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, M A Y 6 , 2 0 1 5 The Cougar Chronicle bids farewell to Video Editor B Y B EULAH SUPRIYA SENIOR S TAFF W RITER As Cal State San Marcos has finished with half of the current semester, the ^eniors are preparing for graduation, one of whom is Raymond Ravarra, the Cougar Chronicle's Video Editor for the fall of 2014. As his time here in Cal State is ending he shares a few memories and lessons he has learned along the way. Ravarra has been at Cal State for the past two years studying a special major in mass media and visual arts. He came to work at the Cougar Chronicle as part of an internship. When asked about the experience he said," the people were great, I miss them. The overall experience was good and got to build relationships0. The reason for choosing mass media was a class he took at his second semester here at the school called video arts which increased his interest in Visual ••••••••HnHn media especially videography. There was also a need in the Church where he served for a good videographer as visual aids in this day and age have become an important way to communicate to people. He doesn't really feel pressured to get a job that will pay a lot of money as he trusts the Lord will provide,. Completing his final semester Ray Ravarra looks back on the effort which brought him to where he's at right now, including a semester in which he took 19 credits. Giving some advice to others pursuing their degree he said," Work hard and get it done, don't lose focus of what matters, we tend to define self by what we graduate in or what job we are in but can't find hope or contentment in that, seek something you can find full satisfaction in knowing that it will last." With Graduation approaching, Ray Ravarra shares his future plans. He plans on working as graphic designer, marrying his girlfriend and later continuing his higher education by joining The Westminster seminary and eventually become a pastor. Now that this chapter in his life is coming to an end, he is excited about his new life ahead and not having to climb so many stairs each week! We wish Ray the very best in all his future endeavors.

Athletes were generating huge amounts of revenue for their schools and they were compensated with scholarships. Fair enough, I thought, except that when I spoke to a few athletes I discovered that it was anything but fair. Athletes are forced to adhere to very professional schedules of practice and play. That means they cannot always take the classes they want because these may interfere with practice, for example. What? A studentathlete, who makes money for the school, which professionalizes their sport, cannot take the classes they want? How is that fair? The more I looked, the worse it got.

Martinez, a Communications major with a focus on public relations and journalism, has been at CSUSM for two years after transferring from Mount San Jacinto College. She has flflflfljflflflflflflEflfl^ been actively involved with American Indian Student Alliance (AISA), the California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center (CICSC), Public Relations Club, Tukwut Leadership program, Lead Retreat and with social justice actions on campus. Martinez's current leadership positions include being the Chairwoman of AISA, the Outreach Specialist for Public Relations Club and a Student Researcher at the CICSC. Martinez has thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities that have come from being involved on campus. One of her favorite programs was through Tukwut Leadership, which consisted of visiting Mountain Shadows, a place where handicapable and differently abled individuals are able to live in a safe, familylike environment. Partici- pants created a mural and artwork with the residents there. Through her involvement with AISA and the CICSC, Martinez has been active in a lot of events centered around helping Native youth. "The local Native youth come down to campus or we go to their school. We talk to them about college and give them a tour of the [CICSC] center," Martinez said.'"We have lunch with them and they ask us questions. It is a comforting place to go for the local youth and shows them that they can do it too." Martinez said that the CICSC in particular has been instrumental to her growth as a student and activist. She said that Tribal Liaison, Tishmall Turner, informed students in the center about getting grants and kept them informed on when scholarship applications needed to be completed.

Santiago is a third year student on campus and works hard to submit her FAFSA on time. Like years prior, she communicated regularly with the Financial Aid Department to make sure that her paperwork was submitted properly and on time. In this particular case, Santiago brought her financial aid paperwork into the office directly on July 21,2014. "The copies were stamped and dated and the employee working specifically told me that it would take approximately seven to ten business days to process. On August 5, my status was still showing up on my ToDo List," Santiago said. When calling to follow up, Santiago was greeted with a notice that Financial Aid "did not have" her papers and the campus fee was due the very next day. "That was $900 I did not have," Santiago said. "I was put on hold several times throughout the process while I found the papers I had previously submitted and drove to Kinko's and faxed the papers...," Santiago said. "But by accepting student loans to pay for the expense later in life seems far less appealing since the promise of employment and careers immediately upon separation from college have been lacking over the past decade. Employment rates have risen but much of that work is parttime and temporary through a large number of corporations including Amazon, The Department of Veterans Affairs and much more. Promising employment appears to exist in fields focused on technology, web development/design, software development, finance, various medical fields and environmental engineering.

She has attended CSUSM for the last two years after transferring from MiraCosta College and has written for The Cougar time with her family, friends and her boyfriend Tim who will also be graduating from CSUSM this May with a degree in Global Studies and is currently studying abroad in Israel until June. In her free time, F riedberg loves taking photographs. She skillfully captures the s implistic l oveliness of whatever she is photographing, whether it be loved ones, objects or nature. She has a refreshing appreciation for beauty and nature and takes joy in the little things. She is able to see One of her favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." C hronicle since 2013, moving her way up from staff writer to Opinion Editor. When Friedberg is not busy with school, the newspaper or her job as a nanny, she enjoys spending quality magnificence in the ordinary. One of her favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Her other hobbies include reading books of all kinds (although books by Donald Miller are amongst her favorites), spending afternoons at quaint coffee shops and going on picnics at Elfin Forest or Buena Creek Gardens. Friedberg is an extremely talented and accomplished writer. She regularly writes for SHARE San Marcos, a local community publication. Upon graduating this May, Friedberg plans on pursuing a career in editing and writing. Her writing is simultaneously both concise and expressive, which is a rare ability. She breathes life into her writing, transferring her passion and skill into the words she puts on the page or screen. During newspaper meetings I have had the pleasure of observing her in her element. She is animated and happy and eager to help staff writers however she can while being open to new ideas and thoughts. Friedberg is wonderful at making sure her section reaches its full potential while still having fun. She is smart, funny, dedicated and sweet and makes friends wherever she goes. During her time at CSUSM and The Cougar Chronicle, Friedberg has left a lasting impression with her hard work, kindness, sincerity and talent. She has a beautiful, effervescent soul and has blessed those around her and will be dearly missed here at school and at The Chronicle. The newspaper will not be the same without you.

While college brings a heavy workload to students, for Tricia Alcid it was the hard work that made her enjoy her college experience much more and changed her into the person she is today. As the semester comes to an end, Alcid is doing nothing more but anticipating her approaching graduation that she has waited four years. She s ays," I feel nervous of course, but in reality, I am brimming with anticipating and adrenaline. This will be a beginning of a new chapter of my life." Studying Psychology, Alcid explains that she did more than just study and get good grades. She found it important to be as active in every school activity and function as she could. "Over the course of four years on campus, I have been a part of the Civility Campaign, Alpha Omicron Pi, Gamma Sigma Alpha, Order of Omega, Psychology Student Organization, Psi Chi International Honor Society, Golden Key International Honor Society, SLL Peer Mentoring Program, ASI Board of Directors, Active Minds, Kamalayan Alliance, LGBTQA Club, and Circle K International," Alcid j L ß r j TT Q T f ^ ¥ A M I V I U k j - JL JL x m C D Ji said as she laughs at her long list of credentials. If her heavy involvement wasn't apparent enough, Alcid volunteers year-end as much as she could as well. "I have volunteered with the ASI Community Centers, and the Hope and Wellness Center. I have been part of our IITS and SLL Cross-Cultural Center on campus. I have had the honor of being a research assistant for two psychology research labs on campus, along with volunteering for Lightbridge Hospice for my PSYC 495 Field Experience class. I know I have listed a lot, but I just like getting involved!" said Alcid. For Alcid, being involved on campus is what made her experience so great.

How long have you been perfecting your craft? Did you have to overcome some difficulties along the way? HG: I am a singer; it's weird to call myself that, but I have been singing since I discovered who Selena (Quintanilla, not Gomez) was. It wasn't until I was in middle school that I decided to get involved in choir. As an artist, I do have my doubts about what it means to be a singer sometimes. I love singing as a hobby and occasional performances because I love the music family that gets created in any ensemble I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. As a career, however, I fear I will lose the love and passion I have for music (it's a small doubt but there). Nevertheless, I will continue to do what I love. CC: How was your time here in CSUSM?

I love this school because we are constantly evolving. Our music department alone has come a long way, with the recent addition of a Music Major coming this fall. Because our university is still fairly young, we, as a community, have the privilege to be a part of CSUSM history. In my five years here, I have seen the SBSB building, the USU, the Veterans Center, the Quad, the Health Center, as well as many other things come to life. C C: What do you have in plan for your postgraduate future? HG: I love music, I love singing; it's my escape from reality, my Zen; however through my minors in Video Production and Women's Studies I have discovered something empowering. The power of media and how that affects our society. In high school, I always struggled with my body image, it wasn't until I took my first Women's Studies class that I felt empowered to not feel ashamed for not fitting the beauty standards society has structured for women. Therefore, it wasn't until recently that I decided to go back to school next year to get my Masters in Fine Arts and a PhD in Gender or Women's Studies, so that I can focus on creating videos of some kind to promote body positivity in young girls. Singing is my passion, but children are our future. So I say why not go back to school? Why not make a difference? Why not?

There were various events that drove me to pursue a form of art over science. At the end of my senior year of high school, my father developed kidney failure and consequently was unable to work. In effect, we were left without a home. For a year we lived with family who helped us get back on our feet. I started college and was working part time. Two years into college I was frustrated and exhausted, both emotionally, physically and spiritually. My father was trying to adjust to a new lifestyle as much as we were as a family and this took a great toll on me. I was so focused on helping my family and providing that I forgot how to take care of sic this school has to offer. mm § a ®ü. W hat do you have in p lan f or y our p ostgraduate f uture? MD: I plan to apply for grad school to study ethnomusicology and teach in the near future. Photo courtesy of Mariela Dieguez Dieguez will perform 7 p.m. May 9 at Arts 111 myself. I was growing up too fast too quickly. There came a breaking point where my depression could not be contained. Besides it being a physical feeling of tiredness and exhaustion, I felt I was missing a basic emotion: happiness. Nothing made me happy. In examining my life up to that point, I reevalu- ated who I was, what I loved and how I wanted to live_. I soon realized I was always in choir even at my most desperate time and that's when I knew, I should just give it a try. What do I have to lose? I thought to myself, and I have not looked back at that choice. I am and will always be a student.

Caleb Carter: Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts Emphasis in Music C ougar: W hat is y our musical specialty? How long h ave you been p erfecting y our c raft? Did you h ave t o overcome some difficulties along t he way? CC: I 'd say that would have to be guitar performance. I 've been playing guitar for almost ten years now. And of course, with everything else, there will always be obstacles you have to overcome. One that I 've had would be this existential crisis I had about a week ago where I was having thoughts l ike, 4 Am I just a m usician?! love music and everything about be- ing a musician, but is that all I am? Like, I was thinking about what life would be like if I pursued a "real j ob" and not a career pejoratively deemed a hobby. I 'm past that now though, because I realized the reason I 'm pursuing music is bigger than that. It's more of a calling than a choice. Or maybe I 'm crazy. Either way, I 'm happy. C ougar: How was y our t ime h ere in CSUSM?Did you s tart h ere a s a f resman o r t ransferred f rom a nother school? As being p art of t he i naugural g raduating class of t he School of A rt, h as t here been changes in t he quality of t he School? CC: I have mixed feelings about my time spent here, haha. I 'll elaborate later. I came in as a freshman, but I did try transferring out to Berklee (College of Music) and UCLA during my second year, but that didn't work out. The only reason I wanted to transfer out is because this school is too new; the music program wasn't quite where I expected it to be. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with the professors. Absolutely nothing wrong, they're all great and possess skill and talent that I could only hope to have someday. It's just that this school is new and the music program (not sure if I could speak on the whole SofA) hasn't exactly been established. There's a significant amount of students that don't know that we have a jazz ensemble, let alone a music program. We just need more students (and serious ones at that) to create a higher demand, which would eventually lead to more funding and overall support. But that comes with time. The school will be at that level someday. C ougar: W hat d o you h ave in p lan f or y our p ostgraduate f uture? CC: I plan on grinding. Like, hella grind. This music thing is going to work out, but it takes so much work. A lot more than a lot of people are willing to put in. I 'm going to make some lifestyle changes, like: practicing four hours a day instead of two, making beats every single day, picking up two jobs so that I can finally move to LA, etc. I know that's a fairly vague answer, but there are so many things that I want to do with music career wise, it's hard just to choose one thing. Why not do them all at once? I know I 'm capable, but like I said earlier, I have to put in WORK. C ougar: I s t here anyone (or a n umber of people) you would like t o t hank o r give recognition? CC: Everyone. Really, everyone. I mean, I 'd love to give thanks to my mom and my sisters, Dr. Imara, Dr. Bradbury, Dr. Cheng, Photo courtesy of Caleb Carter Rendall, Kyle, David, Chelsea, Audrey, but the list goes on and on. I 'd just keep it simple and say everyone, because I truly am thankful of everyone I 've met along the way. And those people should know who they are.

Incorporating traditional Yom HaShoah elements such as a candle ceremony, this event will also include a poetry reading by several CSUSM students. Another speaker and CSUSM history professor, Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, will be giving a presentation about the Holocaust Memorial on campus, the White Rose. "Remembering the Holocaust is an extremely important thing. It is not just a JewT ish issue, it is a human issue," said Wendy Bryer, the program director for this event. Though the Holocaust ended 70 years ago, organizers say that the pain and scars left behind on the world remain fresh in the minds of millions of people. "There are only a few years left to hear these important first-hand accounts and we believe it is important to bring Fanny's story to our campus," Bryer said. "Even if you have heard a Holocaust Survivor's story, every story is different and it is our duty as humans to listen, remember and say never again." Attending this event will help educate students as well as allow them to pay respects to those who survived the Holocaust. In order to commemorate the history and experiences of Holocaust survivors, students and community members are encouraged to attend this free event on April 22. Red Flag Campaign calls for the end of sexual violence on campuses CSUSM organizations sponsor awareness month through a variety of events B Y JASMINE D EMERS NEWS EDITOR CSUSM organizations are currently hosting a campaign in order to end dating and sexual violence as well as to promote empowerment through peer intervention. The Red Flag Campaign began on April 13 at CSUSM, in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and it advocates against sexual violence and dating violence on college campuses across the country. CSUSM is one of nearly 250 college campuses that are participating in this public awareness campaign. Sponsored by Student Affairs Departments such as ATOD, ASI, Civility, the H.O.P.E. and Wellness Center, Student Health & Counseling Services, SLL and Residence Education, the Red Flag Campaign had its first official launch in October of 2007 on just 18 campuses. According to an announcement sent out to Student Affairs at CSUSM, "This social Hundreds of redflagsadorn the lawn outside of the USU. marketing campaign was created to promote a 'bystander intervention' strategy, encouraging friends and other campus community members to 'say/do something' when they see warning signs ("red flags") for sexual/ dating violence in their own or a friend's relationship." Redflagshave been placed and displayed all across the campus along with a series of eight posters that reflect themes such as co- ercion, emotional abuse, sexual assault, victimblaming, excessive jealousy, isolation and stalking. "[There] will be a series of eight posters displayed across campus that illustrate "red flags" that might be present in a relationship in which dating violence is happening," said the announcement. These campaign posters represent a diverse amount of people in different kinds of relationships, whether that be heterosexual or homosexual. According to the Red Flag Campaign website, one in five college dating relationships are violent and abusive, and one in four women are the victims of rape or attempted rape. 42 percent of those victims didn't tell anyone about their assault and only five percent reported it to the police. Surrounding this campaign, CSUSM organizations are hosting several events also learn how intersectionality is an important concept when intervening. Also, the annual "Take Back the Night" event will be at 5 p.m. on April 23 in the Library Plaza. This event is a worldwide effort to end all forms of sexual violence and it is recognized in over 30 countries. Take Back the Night events can include marches, vigils, rallies and activities that are centered around the issues of sexual violence and the need to take action against them.

He then described some of the different intervention strategies, such as interrupting rude or unwanted behaviors and encouraging an educational and constructive dialogue about the behavior and why it is unwanted. Abrahán Monzón facilitated a discussion about triggers, which they defined as "situations of high emotion that catch people off guard." They went on to describe how these are situations where the emotional nature of the interaction can make it difficult to effectively take control of the situation and intervene through education. He also spoke of the idea of attempting to see a situation from the other person's perspective in order to understand what might have led to the unwanted action and thereby more effectively educate the person. The discussion closed with those in attendance sharing some of their personal experiences with bystander intervention and how they had previously dealt with unwanted behavior. This event encouraged all students to be a part of the bystander intervention discussion, whether they were already familiar with the topic or not.

Palliative Care campaign asks students, 'What Gives Your Life Meaning?' B Y J ASMINE D E M E R S NEWS EDITOR The California State University (CSU) Institute for Palliative Care recently launched a new campaign that will explore the importance of end-of-life care and educate students on issues that may affect themselves or their family members in the future. The What Gives Your Life Meaning? (WGYLM) campaign is a way to educate students, as well, as community members, about the impact that palliative care make on a person's life. The campaign was officially launched on April 14 with the first event of the series, an educational session and lecture given by Dr. Katherine Pettus, an Advocacy Officer for the International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care. "Palliative Care is a multidisciplinary team approach and it deals with addressing the pain and symptoms of life limiting illness, but it does not attempt to cure. It's about managing all aspects of pain and symptoms including physical, social, emotional, spiritual and exis- tential pain," said Dr. Pettus. The Palliative Care approach is centered around the comfort of a patient who is diagnosed with a life threatening condition and follows the patient, as well as their family, through the course of the illness. "What makes Palliative Care distinct from the usual biomedical model is that the unit of care is both the patient and family as well as the palliative care team. So, it creates an extra layer of care through life- limiting and life threatening illness," said Dr. Pettus. "Palliative COUGAR care manages and accompanies patients and their families through the complexity of these illnesses." During her presentation, Dr. Pettus discussed the importance of having conversations about death and creating a relationship with a patient so that they can experience as little pain as possible throughout their illness . "Most Americans say that they want to die at home, with their family and in comfort, and yet only 24 percent of Americans older than 65 die at home. 63 percent die at hospitals or CHRONICLE Editor-in-Chief A & E Editor Academic Advisor Katlin Sweeney Faith Orcino Kent Davy Karri Kirby Design Editors Copy Editor Photo Editor Anna Petrov Lana Cook & Rachel Pratt Maria Valencia Chris Morales Katelynn Rise News Editor Distribution Team Community News Editor Chelsey Schweitzer Jasmine Demers Jeff Meints & Cody Cook Sonni Simmons Ariel Robbins Sports Editor Advertising Manager Writing Staff Joshua Ray Amy Chastain Opinion Editor Features Editor Shanice Davis Noelle Friedberg Collin Vaz K atDiltz Joshua D.

"This is the gap between the conversation that needs to be had about how you want to die, where you want to do die and in what context, and how people are actually dying. This is the gap that palliative care is trying to bridge." Dr. Pettus also discussed her claims about why these conversations aren't happening and what Palliative Care can do to resolve these issues.

The GCI is a campaign by the CHABBS department that encourages students to participate in activities and educate themselves about global issues. The GCI Community Service fair was held on Tuesday, April 14, and was an opportunity for students to explore these issues and get involved through a variety of local service groups.

Full disclaimer: it shouldn't! B Y KATELYNN R ISE STAFF WRITER Imagine yourself watching your favorite sports team on television. There are just seconds left in the game and you are one point away from winning it all. You get the pleasurable feeling of screaming at the TV screen while watching your team make its way to victory. When the final point is made, you jump up and down celebrating the team's hard work and accomplishments. The MVP is named and everyone rallies around the person in celebration. But when the MVP of the game is named, should it matter if the MVP of your winning (or even your losing) team is homosexual? Michael Sam could have been one of these players. Sam became the first openly gay player to tie drafted into the NFL in 2014 and was a defensive end for the St. Louis Rams until the final roster needed to be finalized, and Sam was cut from the team. Many people believe that his sexuality was the reason for his dismissal from the team's roster. Unfortunately, sexuality is effecting who gets recognition for their hard work and their athletic abilities. Thankfully for the lovely media in America, Michael Sam's coming out was made into a much bigger deal than it should have been. Sam's face, his name and his sexuality were all over ESPN and the internet. Instead of focusing on this young man's potential as a football player in the NFL, they decided to focus on how a gay man would shower with a team full of men that were heterosexual (as far as we know). Since when does a man taking a shower have to do with anything relevant to the game of football, or any other sport for that matter? Oh right, it doesn't. This is not going to be the last time that an athlete will identify themselves as gay, and sadly this will not be the last time that an openly gay athlete gets their reputation or their career put in jeopardy because of homophobic tendencies. What needs to be learned from Michael Sam's story is that it is not your sexual orientation that defines you, but rather what you do that makes you the kind of person that people will look up to and admire. Sam's sexuality off the field was being brought into his world on the field, causing an unacceptable amount of intolerance and judgment to his career. His talent, hard work and dedication were overlooked simply because of the type of people he found attractive. Michael Sam's story is not all bad though. He was recently nominated as one of GQ's Men of the Year Award, won an Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2014 EPSY Awards and was afinalistfor Sportsman of the Year Award. So does being gay in the world of sports matter? No! Because being gay doesn't make you less of an athlete. If an athlete is talented, dedicated and ready to give his or her all for their team, their sexuality does not matter in sports. Greg Hutton seeks three valuable attributes from his teams B Y CHELSEY SCHWEITZER SENIOR STAFF WRITER Coach Greg Hutton, who is the coach of the men's and women's golf teams at CSUSM, has both assisted individual students on the golf course and helped the Cougar golf team advance through the ranks of college golf teams in his five years as coach. "[I like golf] because it is a sport that you can play all of your life," Coach Hutton said. "People are still able to play the sport even at 80." ^ Coach Hutton first got into golf as a kid, when his parents taught him to play the sport. He continued to play golf as he grew up, but didn't consider coaching Cougar golf until the campus athletic director asked him to coach the men's golf team in 2010. Under the guidance of Coach Hutton, the men's golf team recently ranked sixth and the women's golf team ranked tenth in this year's National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) top 25 polls, according to the school athletics webpage. "What I look for in my , ! golf teams is commitment, dedication and the ability to give 100 percent on the course," Coach Hutton said. Most recently, Coach Hutton and the golf team attended the Hanny Stanislaus Invitational, which took place April 14, and placed in second. The next tournament for the golf team will be the A.I.I Conference Championship, which will take place on April 25 in Texas. When not on the road with his golf team, Coach Hutton likes to spend his free time fishing and spending time with his kids. n Cougars baseball getting the job done on the diamond "Everyone [is] over 300 in the lineup," Costello said.

Retired San Diego Charger focuses onfitnessregime B YAMYCHASTAIN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Shedding over 80 pounds in five months is no small feat. Yet, Nick Hardwick, the retired San Diego Chargers center, has done just that. The former football player began his weight loss project in 2014 upon his exit from the NFL after suffering a neck injury. During his 11 year career, Hardwick weighed around 295 pounds. As a center, Hardwick used his weight to push the defensive players back and protect his quarterback Philip Rivers. At his Feb. 3 retirement ceremony, Hardwick stood before the press at 208 pounds down from 293 pounds, according to a tweet by UT San Diego writer Michael Gehlken. Hardwick's focus on a healthy life was all but confirmed when he stood before the media with this new slimmed down frame. On his Instagram account, Hardwick stamps himself as a "fitness junkie" and "health nut." Hardwick's various social media platforms consistently highlight his wife and children, but now they detail his journey to health through food and fitness. He shares workouts which are perfect for college students. These workouts are quick and hardhitting. They can be done in 20 minutes or less, and with minimal equipment. The most unique part about the following workout is that Hardwick did it in skinny jeans. When questioned by a fellow Instagram user on why he was wearing jeans, Hardwick responded that he was "just proving that you can do this workout anywhere. In any attire." One minute of each of the following (no rest between exercises). Do as many as possible within the time frame. Rest 30 seconds after cycle is completed. Repeat 2 to 5 times. Jumping Jacks Squats Lunges Mountain climbers Push ups If Nick Hardwick can do five rounds of this workout in skinny jeans, it is not wild to think it is an attainable workout for any college student. Only benefits result from physical training Go and get some stress relief mmmmm B Y BURTLAND D IXON SPORTS EDITOR Negative stigmas are all around whether we like to acknowledge them or not - too many to name and that's a shame of its own. One we can point out, however, is how physical training is viewed. A common misperception is that when you get a physical trainer, you will only be rewarded with a glowing physical stature. Fortunately, that is not all that working with a physical trainer can provide. With finals vastly approaching, stress is piling higher than the garbage at a large family get together. How can you help banish said stress? Mayo Clinic indicates exercise can very well help manage stress. Don't know where to start, no problem. Physical trainers are surely available to help get the wheels rolling. "Our PT (physical training) program strives for optimal fitness for everyone and all body types," Fitness and Operations Supervisor, Jordan Friske, said. Here at CSUSM everyone and all body types are available for PT, so believing you are toofitor notfitenough for physical training will only prevent you from receiving the benefits that await you. "With a personal trainer a client can take a step in the right direction to exercising smarter and becoming a healthier person," Personal Trainer, Brendyn Heath, said. Aside from easing up stress, exercising with a personal trainer can help you become a healthier person. Good health is vital for college students, so doing what you can while attending college to help promote good health would not be a bad idea. "There are a lot of negative stigmas in our society that we are trying to work through," Friske said. Friske is adamant about dispelling these stigmas attached to PT and said that utilizing the trainers that CSUSM provides will help with that. So, do not worry about your appearance before giving it a try, because only benefits await you. �F E AT U R E 5 ^^ ^^ • THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22,201s ^^ 5 cougarchron.features@gmail.com S TU1D:E NT S P O T L I G H Chelsea Brown leads through advocacy Student leader commits to making positive impact on the world B Y JASMINE DEMERS NEWS EDITOR Chelsea Brown is a dedicated student leader on campus who has turned her personal hardship into fuel towards helping others and advocating for change. Brown is currently a thirdyear Political Science major at CSUSM, and she identifies as a Transgender Woman. Throughout her college career, Brown has made an effort to be involved in campus organizations such as A SI, The Gender Equity Center and the LGBTQA Pride Center as a Peer Educator. The Northern California native is also hoping to spread her activism throughout the community by working with outside organizations such as the Vista Community Clinic and the San Diego LGTBQ Resource Centers. By working as a Peer Educator on campus, Brown said she aims to transform the campus climate and make a positive impact on students. "Working with these organizations has given me the opportunity to not only grow as a person, but also grow in a way that allows me to be a better advocate for not only what I believe in, but for what is fundamentally right," she said. "I've always been someone who tends to fight for rights of the marginalized, and so being in the spaces and working with these organizations has given me a way to reach a larger audience at a more effective level." Brown holds a passion for representing a larger group of individuals who experience injustice every day. She is proud of the commitment that she has for helping others and her ability to treat everyone as her equal. "I reflect a lot on where I am now, how I got here and the things I've had to overcome. I've beaten 12 years of depression. I survived my numerous suicide attempts. I 've battled through years of self-loathing and self-hatred because I wasn't comfortable being who I was. And now I 'm here. I've survived. I 'm about to graduate college; I 'm about to live a life of advocacy and empowerment. And that means something to me on a deeply personal level," Brown said. Brown said that she has had to experience some hardship that only motivated her to push forward and continue her fight so that she could also support other individuals who have had the same experiences. "Some of the hardships I've had to face on this campus are mainly in regards to my status as a transgender woman. Now I 'm sure that many of my classmates will see this article, and it will out me to them. But I 'm actually okay with that," she said. "The problem I've run into before is how do I address this with professors and other faculty members, especially since they may not really be used to the idea of having a transgender student in their class." Brown said that she aims to make an impact at CSUSM by making a commitment to inform the community of these issues, and making it so that future Trans* identified students feel comfortable and accepted by policy enacted by campus administration. Some of the issues that Brown referred to are policies regarding name changes for Trans* students and using the preferred name and gender in place of the legal name. She also discusses issues regarding the need for more gender-neutral bathrooms on campus. While discussing her future goals, Brown said she hopes to go into the field of Journalism and Public Policy. "In terms of future goals, more than anything, I want to be a writer and a journalist. I want to take the passions and stories of people from around the world and make them into something even more beautiful: a shared, uni- Photo by Chris Morales Chelsea Brown is an active leader in ASI's Community Centers. versal experience," Brown said. "At some point in my life as well, I 'd like to get into issues of public policy, specifically, I 'd like to work as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. But, I might just settle for White House Press Secretary!" Brown's ambitions and inspirational attitude has already made a long lasting impact on CSUSM and will furthermore continue to influence the rest of the world. "I think as people, we tend to get wrapped up in the dra- ma and worries of everyday life, and as a result, we lose sight of what's really important in my opinion, and that's helping others and being good humans," she said. "We all live here on this earth together. It is only due to society and her constructs that poverty, war and other issues persist in our lives. The ability to end poverty and other issues begins when one realizes that it is a natural right of humans to survive and thrive freely and openly in our fleeting existences."

However, Monzón said that attending CSUF was the right program for them. During graduate school, Monzón's accomplishments included an assistantship, an internship with CSUF's Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers, working with TCAMP, completing one semester at a cultural center at a small liberal arts college and being awarded the Edwin Carr Fellowship. Monzón's enthusiasm for working at CSUSM stems from a desire for empowering students and the campus' welcoming atmosphere. "I really wanted to work at a cultural center or resource center, but when I saw this position I never thought that I would get it," they said. "Being a first generation college and grad school student, getting a job was such a pressure to show my family that school was worth it." "A big thing with job interviews on-campus is that I always had to negotiate how I would represent my identity," Monzón said. "If I could not be genuine to my genderqueerness, it was not going to fit. But I came to my interview at CSUSM with full face and suit, and when I got the call for the job, I was ecstatic. It was important to me not to go to an established center but go somewhere where I could create programming." Monzon has enjoyed their first semester at CSUSM thus far and is optimistic about how the ASI Community Centers will change in the next few years. "It is a combination of working with passionate folks about creating a better campus for themselves and bringing a different set of eyes and thinking about gender, sexuality, program- ming and ideas for what is to come," Monzon said.

Instead he took the high road and paved his own way. Wahl began his college career as an Opera major at Southwest Texas State, before transferring and receiving his Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.

"Queer is a political label, a Ii ü i t it's a label that some people use when they want to challenge some of the assumptions we make about what it means to be male or female; what it means to be in a relationship; things like monogamy, marriage; is marriage really what we all aspire to? Is being with the same person for the rest of your life really what we want?" he said. The perfect fairytale of living happily ever after with one person is simply not his style. "For some people that works great; I can't even imagine having to be with one person for the rest of my life," Wahl said. As for the advances made towards the LGBTGA community, Wahl said they're good but much work still needs to be done. "The advances are important, they're necessary and they save lives," he said. "When people see themselves represented in television, in the front of classrooms and civil rights are being given to them that are dued to them, it saves lives because it helps people understand that they're human beings, they deserve the same things that other people deserve." As a final point, Wahl has advice for everyone. "Be you, but make sure you have a support system to help facilitate to you being you," He also had advice for allies to the LGBTQA community. "Continue to educate yourself and don't make it about you. Don't be Beyonce, you're one of the backup singers, so be supportive." mmgm •• IS I I ii I Kia Washington takes a stand for gender, sexuality and rights for all BY SHANICE DAVIS ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR Junior, Kia Washington, is a Peer Educator at the LGBTQA Pride Center, who cites the community as her strength and support system to be herself. "My passion and energy for the Pride Center comes from the courage that the community there gave me to come out as queer," she said. It was the acceptance she found in this environment that encouraged her to help others. "I knew that no matter what, there would be people there for me, and I want to continue creating that environment for others. I want to be one of the leaders to pass that experience and passion on to all students who come into contact with us," Washington said. As a Peer Educator, Washington puts on many events; one of her first solo events was a Queer Discussion called "50 Shades of Correction," an event in which participants discussed the dangerous inaccuracies of BDSM portrayed in Fifty Shades of Grey. In addition to that, the Pride Center frequently holds Nights Out, which are nights when students can play games and watch film screenings. As this month is GAYpril, the Pride Center is putting on some upcoming events F ASHION - including Queer Homebois, occurring at 5 p.m. on*April 27 in USU 3100, where there will be discussion of masculinity in relation to the Latin@ identity. At 5:30 p.m. on April 29 in USU 3100, Zumba Pride will occur, and finally the Campus Pride Walk and Festival will take place from 11:30 a jn to 1 p jn. on April 30, beginning in the Commons. Washington says that working at the Pride Center gives her the opportunity to give back to the community and provide support, as she aims to promote social justice on campus. "My position gives me the opportunity to not only inform and educate, but to j ? ist T I V I IL IN I A I? AK continually become more educated myself," she said.

Many department stores like Nordstrom Rack, Marshalls and Ross include designer brands for reasonable prices and have big sales both seasonally and during holidays.

"I would definitely recommend Forever 21 for they have a broad choice of clothes, and then newest trends and it's very affordable," CSUSM student, Ronja Skauge, said.

I am out because the intersections of my identities are beautiful and meaningful. While my queerness precludes me from living up to societal standards of hegemonic masculinity, my queerness offers liberatory possibilities for expressing multiple masculinities. As an aging queer man, I am pressured to remain youth- ful, fit and sexy to maintain social capital in mainstream gay communities- or I can move into queer kink or bear subcultures with less rigid body politics. I am out as a bicultural queer with white passing privilege because my Native American and Latino ancestries are often dismissed until I intentionally call attention to them. I am out as a queer feminist because, in my experience, these two communities fail to work toward common goals, instead choosing to perpetuate longstanding conflicts steeped in misunderstanding. I acknowledge my economic privilege because I grew up without it, I recognize that queer communities disproportionately live in poverty, despite miscon- ceptions about our wealth. I am out as a sex-positive queer because the sex-negative narratives that have been ingrained in younger LGBTQ generations concern me, particularly around the stigmatization of poly sexuality and HIV. I am out about my queer intergenerational romantic relationship because I believe that love comes in many forms when we give ourselves permission to step outside our comfort zone and approach life openly and honestly. My journey over the past five decades from the small Texas town of my childhood to working and teaching at CSUSM has been one toward honesty and authenticity. And at its core, that's what being out is about- living authentically.

The surface level of what societal hetero-normative stereotypes have labeled upon the gay community is a reaction to my sexual orientation or gender identity because it leaves a negative effect. So distance is the reasonable solution. I am a multidimensional human being with dreams and' aspirations like everyone else. Remaining positive is a struggle as depression sweeps in for those who are out in the community. However, resources are crucial for those in need. For example, when someone in the community is in distress, asking for help is always the reasonable solution in times of crisis. Homophobia is still alive and well in society. Struggling individuals in the community are sensitive towards trigger topics and words that can make a current situation worse. I speak for all the gay little boys who have been picked on in school or outside of school and who don't have a voice. Life as a gay male of color leads to self-identification issues. Now, as someone who is a millennial and identifies as a homosexual, cisgender, Filipino-American, ablebodied and a student pursuing a higher education, I understand that my current situation is an awareness that is both a curse and a blessing.

I would like to ask those who seek to de-sexualize identities that are directly related to sexuality why they feel this way. In relation to my identity as queer, I do not seek to make anyone but myself comfortable with my expression of sexuality. The relentless push towards heteronormativity seeks to depoliticize our sexual-political identities, in hopes of easily categorizing us to be more palatable to mainstream society. Can't you see that the popular culture, as an institution, is providing false incentive by dangling hetero goals like monogamy, marriage and children as a carrot towards the goal of conformity? While r support the desire and push for LGBT bookstores, coffee houses, churches and theaters, erasing spaces such as bars would do our community a disservice. Recently, long established LGBT bookstores have closed their doors in major urban areas, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, because the community cannot sustain them.

What does it mean to be homophobic? BY JOSHUA D . COPELAND STAFF WRITER Homophobia is not a real disease. At least not according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), where the term is nowhere listed. Yet many homosexuals face discrimination today, and this discrimination is what many consider the definition of "homophobia." But when the term is broken down, "homo" means "man" or "human being" while "phobe" or "phobia" means "fear of." Thus, to be homophobic is to fear humans... not homosexuality. Then a movie like "Get Hard," featuring comedic icons Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell, hits the theaters, and millionaire James King (Ferrell) seems very "homophobic," indeed. The recent film has been the target of negative backlash. Of the many offenses the film commits, including negative portrayals of stereotypes of race and homosexuality, King's biggest fear out of everything is being raped in prison. And while the fear of man may not necessarily be real, the fear of rape is very real. From a man's perspective, masculinity is definitive. beyond any means of control. Being raped is a fear that both men and women share. The thought of being sexually overpowered by a man From a man's perspective, masculinity is definitive. Society is guilty of associating masculinity with power. Emasculation, by any sense, is threatening to men. Society is guilty of associating masculinity with power, Emasculation, by any sense, is threatening to men. To be raped is to be stripped of your power; to be violated more masculine is unnerving to straight men especially. Women are (and rightfully so) the focal point of victimization in what many are calling today's rape culture. However, we rarely hear anything about the rape that takes place in prison, which in many cases occurs often. In prison, young men are violently raped repeatedly by their inmates for the establishment of dominance. There is no escape or protection from their attackers, and there are no police to really report to. There is usually no sympathy for inmates who endure these traumatic experiences. Instead we're taught to believe that inmates are deserving of torture, so we laugh and make jokes about men being raped. Something that we wouldn't dare do in the case of female victims. Meanwhile, male rape victims have to deal with the trauma of sexual abuse alone, and some later experiment with their sexuality out of sexual confusion. There is a lot of debate as to whether or not a person is born gay and what may 'cause' it. In the case of one psychologist, Dr. Umar Johnson, he reported that 95 percent of his patients who were homosexual experienced sexual abuse in their earlier lives. So is "homophobia" really about the fear of gay people? Or is it the underlying fear of being taken by another man? Thoughts on womanhood Reflections on Herstory Month and the rest of the year BY ARIEL ROBBINS STAFF WRITER Thought #1: It's good to be alive in a time and a place where a woman's thoughts can be taken seriously. Thought #2: However, being a woman is complicated. The dictionary definition of a woman Is: an adult human female—but that's just as helpful as defining the ocean as "a lot of water." They're more than that, both of them. The problem is that we try to define things that are indefinable. To put it simply, a woman cannot be put into words because that would limit her. There are no bounds on what a woman can be. Her genitalia does not define her. Her ability to bare children, or menstruate, does not define her. Her character does not define her. I tV common in contemporary society to want to see women as strong, as independent, as selfless, as someone inspiring. However, the second we give one label to women is the second that all of the women who aren't strong, who still need to depend on someone, who are selfish, are exempt. We can have our ideals, but we cannot ignore reality. We cannot ignore the segment of women who don't live up to society's expectations. We cannot and should not un-claim them. An unapologetic woman is just as important as a woman that will never stop saying she's sorry. As a society, we try and weed people out. Women especially are given a mold more distorted than most. Our waistline is expected to be as petite as our input, but things are changing. There are women that will live and die under systems of oppression, and there are women who will cry for them, who willfightfor them, who will know nothing of them, but that doesn't change the fact that we are in this together. When society fails us, we must become homes for each other. Today, we are constantly finding ways to build each other up and Photo by Noelle Friedberg protect those of us with less privilege, sharing our voice. In the end, all this has lead me to thought #3: In a world that tries so hard to put us into words, we remain undefined. Why Pride Center's Aiello-Hauser is one of my role models BY KATUN SWEENEY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF I have been very fortunate during my time at CSUSM to have become friends with people that exemplify what it means to be a role model. Meeting Robert not only heightened my desire to make social justice a priority in my career, but he shows me on a daily basis what it means to love and work for your community. When I started at CSUSM three years ago, I knew only a handful of people. As I became more involved with The Cougar Chronicle and various other campus organizations, that gradually began to change. When one of my best friends expressed an interest in visiting the campus LGBTQA Pride Center and encouraged me to go with him, I initially declined. I was nervous about whether or not I would be welcomed in a space where a community that I was supportive of, but did not really know, spent time. When I finally did visit the Center (which at this time was housed in Commons, not the USU), my nerves vanished almost immediately. Every time I turned around, someone new was coming up to me to say hello and ask me what video games I liked or what other interests I had. Even though I am lousy at video games, I began visiting more and more often and truly felt welcomed. I had caught glimpses of Robert here and there, but finally officially met him when I became Editor-inChief of The Cougar Chronicle in May 2013. After sitting down to talk with him, visiting the Center more often and learning more about LGBTQA rights and issues, I gained a whole new appreciation for the movement. One of the most important things I learned through Robert and the Pride Center is how to be an ally. As a heterosexual woman that identifies in the LGBTQQIP2SA community (thanks Rodger for teaching me this acronym!) as an ally, it has been a journey for me to understand what exactly that means. Photo by Chris Morales Robert Aiello-Hauser is the Director of the LBTQA Pride Cénter. Being an ally is a very complicated experience and means a lot of things to a lot of different people. For me, being an ally means that regardless of where I am and who is listening, I will always stand up for folks in the LGBTQA community. I will always stand up against homophobic and transphobic language, actions and stereotyping. However, being an ally does not grant me the authority to dominate a conversation about LGBTQA issues and direct all attention to me, or to speak on behalf of the LGBTQA commu- nity. It does not permit me to dominate the front spots at a rally or be the "face" of the movement. It means to support, which to me means not having to be the center of attention, but still making it clear to everyone that my support for the community will not change just to "impress" or "appease" others who may not understand it. Without Robert, I would have never learned this important facet to my identity. This is just one of the many things I have learned from my time at the Center and becoming friends with him. Robert works tirelessly everyday to make sure that everyone around him is cared for. He stays long after his "shift" is over to complete all of the work he wants to accomplish. Robert builds coalitions and encourages folks to get to know the community. At events like the Coming Out Monologues and Rainbow Recognition, Robert always cries from genuine love, joy and empathy for everyone that shares their thoughts and stories. He never forgets anyone or to check that everyone around him feels loved and accepted. He passionately believes in creating safe spaces and giving students a platform to voice their opinions. Robert works hard to make sure that students understand and own their potential. This support is something that has had a tremendous impact on my life. When my father passed away in November, my close relationships became even more important to ensure that I stayed focused on graduating next spring, building the newspaper and moving forward with my plans to apply for graduate school. My friendship with Robert in a lot of ways is like having my father back. He has always been my dad away from home, someone who cheered equally hard for my accomplishments and supported me through my mistakes like my father did. He has been friends with me even when it was not popular to be and believed in my visions for the newspaper when others told me they would never happen. I see a similarity in my father and Robert in that they both had to overcome many challenges to be successful. But these obstacles did not define either of them. Instead, it is the staunch support and love for the people that they care about. Like my father, Robert is one hundred percent a person with his heart on his sleeve, which he continuously breaks into small pieces so that he can hand them to everyone that is in need of love. Robert, thank you for all that you do. �A &E Editor: 1 T HE C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, A PRIL 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 COMIC BOOK B Y F AITH O RCINO A&E EDITOR During the 26th Annual GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Media Awards ceremony in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, the organization announced Image Comics series "Rat Queens" as the 2014 Outstanding Comic Book. It was one of the many recipients that were honored for ensuring inclusive representation of the LGBT community and diversity in the media on March 21, 2015. Previous winners of the category included Marvel's 2013 "Young Avengers", Archie Comics's 2012 "Kevin Keller" and DC Comics's 2011 "Batwoman". The series has been going strong ever since Jim Valentino, co-founder of Image Comics, greenlit the series in 2013, according to series writer Kurtis J. Wiebe's interview with IGN. Wiebe collaborated with Meg Dejmal to create this so-called "love letter of my [Wiebe] years of D&D [Dungeons and Dragons]". The two formed a fantastical cast of characters including the four leading SEö CORNER Rat Queens series honored with GL AAD Award ladies: Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief. This ragtag quartet of mercenaries have a strange way of finding themselves into trouble whether its with new enemies or those from the past. Even though it is in a mystical realm with elves, dwarves and other magical creatures, some of these characters and situations are close to home. At times these women have to deal with complicated relationships and family issues. Still, they have quests to complete. It is a must-read, especially those that are fans of Image Comics's "Saga" and other adventure series. "Rat Queens" is far beyond any normal D&D campaign. The series also gained critical recognition when it became one of the distinguished 2014 Eisner Awards nominee for Best New Series. Both Volumes One and Two are available for purchase and Issue #11, the debut issue of Stjepan Sejic as "Rat Queens"'s regular interior artist, will be released on May 6.

Turner reported for The New York Times who failed to resist to the demise of AIDS. The extremely surprising impressive character development earned Bomer a Critics Choice Television Award, a Golden Globe and an Emmy Award nomination. Homophobia pulverized "The Normal Heart" at the Emmys. The same anti-gay agitations that incapacitated "Brokeback Mountain" at the Oscars gave the film a disadvantage. Ryan Murphy's HBO adaptation of Larry Kramer's 1985 play about the happening days of AIDS before the usual time was one of last season's most praised enthusiastically and publicly telefilms. Both the play and the HBO film looked at the New York crisis through writer Ned Weeks (Mark Ruffalo) who was more adamant about the issue in comparison to his lover, Turner (Bomer). The two struggled to form a group to raise awareness about the disease, constantly arguing about how to confront this problem. Other talents included Joe Mantello, Alfred Molina and Jim Parsons.

Are Yes, an entire day devoted to a BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer THE PRIDE St. Valentine's Day is more than cards and flowers BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Every year around February 14, there is a rise in the purchase of lacy cards, fancy jewelry, overpriced flowers, and heart shaped candy. Over the years, society lost the roots of this day, commonly referred to as "Valentine's Day." First off, the day is not just called "Valentine's Day." Valentine is not a term of endearment. It is a name. Valentine lived in the third century and was a bishop in Rome. Many Christian faiths recognize Valentine as a martyr and a saint. The Roman Catholic Church celebrates his life on February 14th, thus the day is properly titled, Saint Valentine's Day. Due to the contributions of S t Valentine, the day became synonymous with romantic endeavors. Understanding the life of Saint Valentine makes the day much more romantic. Valentine lived in the day« of ancient Rome where he worked as a priest. In secret, he presided over marriages of Christian couples, saving them from persecution. By helping these 'criminals' of the state, and for not renouncing his faith, St. Valentine was tortured and beheaded. February 14th is a day to honor St. Valentine's work, by doing special deeds for one's sweetheart or beloved. It can also be a day one finds a person to court. It is not a day for consumerism. St. Valentine's Days is not a corporate holiday. The story of St. Valentine is true, as evidenced by the finding of his tomb. Gifts are nice things, but the intention of the present should have some meaning. One should keep in mind why the day is special and where the origin lies. It is not a say for hooking up or one night stands. It is a day about true and undying love, in honor of a man who served the world though his commitment to love.

But while black history and Valentine's Day may receive the spotlight of public attention, February is also American Heart Month. As health remains a great concern for a large percentage of Americans, American Heart month acts as a more pivotal component ofpublic health awareness. American Heart month provides every United States citizen the reminder that health knowledge will improve the overall quality of life and potentially save lives in the process. Each year Congress requires the president to declare February as American Heart Month. Volunteers for the American Heart Association devote their time to spread information about cardiovascular diseases in American Heart Month. These volunteers help to raise funds for research and provide extensive information about various heart conditions and heart diseases. The annual proclamation of American Heart Month has been performed since 1963. The American Heart Association communicates with the presidential "administration in order to draft and sign the annual proclamation." According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases are the "nation's No. 1 killer." Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and serious disability in the United States as well. As heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, American Heart Month serves as a significant part of health awareness in the United States. A variety of factors contribute to the source of heart disease or stroke. Factors include obesity, smoking, unhealthy nutritional habits, lack of physical exercise, and other factors such as hereditary conditions. While these factors can be treated on an individual level, US citizens can make a difference in health awareness by contacting the nation's policymakers and representatives. The proclamation of the American Heart Month shows the effectiveness of public interaction with our government. Supporters of American Heart Month raise funds that improve public healthcare programs. Legislators support public health by funding healthcare programs, medical research, increasing smoke-free workplaces, and advocating for physical education and better nutrition in schools. The American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association experienced a recent success when president Barack Obama increased the federal cigarette tax to over $1 per pack. This new tobacco law will become a measure that will heavily decrease smoking rates. The American Heart Association supports tobacco control initiatives in order to promote healthy lifestyles. While this law will decrease the rate of smoking, the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association continue to encourage public action. The cure for heart disease remains in the hands of the public. Therefore the public must individually and collectively take measures to ensure healthy living. In the event ofa heart attack or stroke, an individual should call 911 for an emergency response. A person should be cautionary if he or she experiences chest discomfort, discomfort in other areas of the upper body, shortness of breath, or breaking out in cold sweat/ nausea. The most common heart attack symptom is chest pain, but women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms. Heart attack or not, somebody who experiences any of these symptoms is encouraged to tell a doctor.

Jam Control So you think you can dance? BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer Jam Control is a student organization at CSUSM that focuses on building a student community through the artistic expression of movement. Jam Control aims to celebrate the love of d ance, t o c ollaborate a nd w elcome o thers, and to bring out new dancers or dancers that just want to share their experience with others. Jam Control stands for "Justifying Artistic Movement, Collaboration of New Talent, Recognizing Our Love." Dancers and instructors work collaboratively to ensure an environment that fosters exploration and innovation. "It does not just relate to dancing, but how it relates to collaborating with anyone and everyone that has a passion and the drive to build a sense of community and unity in our campus and society," said Jam Control's club president Randy Saldivar. Jam Control had its first debut at CSUSM in 2000, because a group of students wanted to celebrate the art of CSUSM. With a weekly attendance average of around forty-five members, Jam Control is here to stay. Originally conceptualized to celebrate the art of hip-hop, Jam Control appreciates all dance styles. "Jam Control is focusing on becoming a World Dance Student Organization, meaning we have been, and r espectand h as f u n w ith o ne a nother, w hile will continue t o be teaching a variety of dances," Saldivar continued.

Keep a lookout for more Black History Month exclusives throughout this issue and in upcoming issues. Matt Lewis: Tell us about yourself. Adam Rajah Gainey: My name is Adam Rajah Gainey, I'm 26 years old, and I've , been a student at CSUSM for 2 years. ML: What is the Black Student Union? ARG: Basically the BSU is mostly made up of African American students, and it was developed to be a social organization/club, so that people can socialize and find ways into other clubs, be active on campus, and participate in community services/social events. It's a little different since we (African-Americans) are such a big minority here on campus, so its purpose is to explore different areas and bring to light some different issues on campus. _ ML: How many students are involved with BSU? ARG: On our roster, we have about 60 members with 40 or so of them active, as in helping at the tables and social events on campus. It is hard since this is a commuter school to get everyone together at a set time, as well as keeping the meetings fun and relevant to events on campus. ML: Does the BSU have a set meeting time/place? ARG: Yes, every Thursday during the U-Hour (12-12:50 pm) in a new room now, which I believe is University Hall 443. We have our first [members] meeting coming up next week, and we usually have officers meetings once a week. The officer's board has seven different chairs, which include President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, two publishers, and a photographer. We try to tie in the meetings to different social events happening on campus, for example events tied to Black History Month. ML: Does the BSU have any plans for events during Black History Month? ARG: We are co-sponsoring a few events, including the "February One" film next Tuesday, which explores the story of the four college freshmen students during the Civil Rights Movement who started the sitins. This helped revitalize the Civil Rights Movement because at the time, it was a big social movement that had "stalled out" for several reasons. Their recommitment to the cause helped get a lot of college students, both black and white, to participate in sit-ins and ride-alongs all around the country. So it is another unique perspective of history as opposed to the traditionally celebrated characters of Black History month like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, etc. ; We try to put out unique stories that would be a good learning experience for both us and other people on campus. We are also co-sponsoring a hip-hop concert-previewing event, hosted by the Breaks (which are a local group) who have performed on campus befbre. »akoig*., ML: Any more information on the Black Historyfilmsbeing shown on campus? ARG: One other film, which we are not sponsoring but are helping to advertise for, is "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin." He was a prominent civil rights activist who was unique because he was one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s aides and helped coordinate a lot of logistics and planning for events like the march on Washington. The media did not give him adequate praise at the time because he was openly gay, which is pretty relevant now especially with the debates on the right to marriage going on. So it gives you a different perspective on the Civil Rights Movement, where someone can be responsible for great things and be overlooked until modern times. ML: Does the BSU collaborate with any other groups? ARG: No, not yet, but we are hoping to get involved with groups like the NAACP "We try to put out unique stories that would be a good learning experience for both us and other people on campus."-Gainey group in Oceanside, and also the local Boys and Girls Club. It would be ideal to set up a program where some of our members could go and volunteer there, because with the budget cuts they have a lot less money for staff. Hopefully, we can try and get a small group to help out with that this semester. ML: With the election of President Obama, what would you like to see happen for the future of the black community on campus and in San Diego County? ARG: I think that it is a historic time, and like Barack Obama said, we really need to start trying different things and not being afraid to collaborate with other people. For example, in his administration, his best work has always been around a diverse group of people. I think for myself and others included, it's not very often that you see a lot of successful couples. So the fact that he is married and has kids, that family unit, hasn't really been a strong suit in our community because of social issues and stuff. It is really good to see that, a strong father, a wife, and what you can accomplish with hard work. So hopefully it will get some young guys and girls into doing different things, bettering themselves and most of all, trying to make a difference.

A night I will never forget BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer In my mind, Ifiguredsomebody was either lost or needed help. So, I wanted to get to the door as quick as I could. I grabbed my glasses, but it was dark and I still could not see anything in my room. Since it was hot and I was only sleeping in shorts, I pulled the comforter off my bed and wrapped it around myself rather than trying to find a shirt. I was under the impression I would have to open the door, give some directions, and go back to sleep. When I opened the door, I saw a young man and woman standing there with beer cans in their As an RA, I am required to run to any situation that may be unfolding. Yet, one of the most unique instances I have ever had came to me. One weekend in August, Stone Brewery held an anniversary party on campus. That same weekend, the RAs were going to Big Bear for a retreat after training. After packing, I went to bed early because we were leaving around 6AM. In the late hours of the night, I was woken by a couple knocking on my door. hands. I could hardly see, but they looked over 21. The man spoke to me and asked what I was doing. I was stunned. Apparently, he could notfigureout that I was sleeping as evidenced by the look on his face. He asked me why I was not partying on a Friday night. He rambled on until I gathered my words and told him soliciting was not allowed. After all, he was being a disturbance and he had to leave. He gave a confused look, and realized I was an RA. He said he was a graduate of CSUSM and was in town for the Stone Brewery event and came to the UVA to party on a Friday night. I then told him he had to leave and that I was going to escort him out. He began to walk away, but when he realized I was following him, he turned and got in my face. I stood there wrapped in my comforter as he shouted insults three inches from my face. The smell of cheap beer on his breath was overwhelming. As I reminded him of UVA policy that he needed to leave, he threatened to hit me. I was scared, but I almost laughed when he pointed to a pair of moles near my right eye and said he would give me another mark like that. I sarcastically told him that would be impossible. The female friend of his finally got him to back down, and they left. When I got back to my room, I called my supervisor and let her know what happened. She told me to call UPD and let them know to keep and eye out for him. A while later, I got a call saying he was picked up for public intoxication. Ask any RA. They will tell you a story just like this one. Now I am an expert at removing crazy and creepy people to keep my residents safe. Business leaders' experiences brought to C SUSM C oBA course incorporates executive-level guests BY DIANA VALDIVIA Pride Staff Writer The College of Business Administration currently offers a course inspired by Bravo's television series, "Inside the Actor's Studio." "In the Executive's Chair" is a course where professors Rajnandini " Raj" Pillai and David Bennett host senior executives who give students advice from their own real life business experiences. "In the Executive's Chair" is part of The Center for Leader- ship Innovation and Mentorship Building (CLIMB). Guest speakers come to share their knowledge, words of advice, and strategies, which provide students with a better understanding of the real business world. Guests also share their expertise on how they became business leaders. Among other concepts, business leaders pass on the value of the challenges and sacrifices that the business world includes. One unique detail about this class is that students are able to ask questions to the guest speakers. "In the Executive's Chair" is not only for students enrolled in MGMT 432. The discussions are open to other students and the business community. The series runs through April. Located in Markstein Hall 125, the class meetings are from 11:20 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. on Wednesdays. "It gives students a chance to listen to their careers," Bennett said. "Listening, in person, to the executive, being able t a spend time with them one on one after the class, ask them questions, shake their hand and do some networking if they desired," Bennett explained as the "touch and feel" concept students can benefit from. Tyler Stoll, a student enrolled in Executive's Chair, explained that it is not like any other class he has had. "They all give specific examples and one thing that they want you to leave with. It is not all about bookwork," said Stroll. "It is about real experiences." "You get to learn from CEOs firsthand from what has made them successful and failures that you can learn from," another student, Jonathan Curry, added. "Instead of learning from books, you are able to learn from people in different industries from real life instances." Chief Executive & Senior VP from Scripps Green Hospital, Robin Brown, will be the next guest speaker on Feb. 11.

This week's crop features several big name actors and directors in f ilms that may be quite e ntertaining. Arts & Entertainment First, German director Tom Tykwer brings "The International." Tykwer, the director of the modern foreign classic "Run Lola Run," now features an American cast in a story about a corrupt international bank. Clive Owen and Naomi Watts star in the leading roles. Though the story of one man bringing down a corrupt organization has been done to death through James Bond, Jason Bourne* and Jack Bauer, this could be an entertaining action f ilm. It all depends on how well the twists and t urns are laid out. Tykwer is a good storyteller as evidenced by his German work, and his recent English f ilm, " Perfume." For those who have already seen "He's Just Not That Into You," and need a rom-com for St. Valentine's Day, look no f urther than "Confessions of a Shopaholic." Isla Fischer , stars in this tale of an obsessive and excessive shopper t rying to land a j ob at a fashion magazine and balance her life. Though consumerism is dead during this economic crisis, many young ladies will f ind this an entertaining f ilm. "Two Lovers" is an alternate romance f ilm for those looking for a more serious f ilm. This drama stars Joaquin Phoenix as a heartbroken man looking to rebuild himself. In the process, he f alls for two women at the same time. He must choose between the two women and faces the consequences in this drama. The end of this f ilm is obvious f rom the trailer. The protagonist will have f un with both women, but viewers will know the conclusion before he does. With modern romances Tuesday, February 10; 2009 V IN THEATERS F I5BRUARY 13,2009 Image courtesy ofDisney Entertainment such as "Two Lovers," the f ilm is about the j ourney rather than the end. Yet, the j ourney is less exciting when one knows where it is g oings An alternate route to getting close to someone this St. Valentine's Day is to hold him or her tight while watching the remake of "Friday the 13th." Since the remakes of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Halloween," it was only a matter of time before Jason and his hockey mask got an update - it's c onvenient. This Friday happens to be the 13th as well. I have simple expectations about this f ilm. Several people will gp to Camp Crystal Lake and die. If this slasher f ilm can emphasize tension over violence, it may be worth a watch. Or, one could get the immortally creepy original. Attention all students!

With any luck, that may very well be how this thing ends •up. ... After 15 studio albums, 28 active years, and the redefinition of the rock guitar sound, one might assume Sonic Youth have a fair amount of street cred. They should, since all four members are old enough to be our parents. Thurston Moore, lead vocalist and husband of bassist Kim Gordon, formed Sonic Youth in 1981 with Lee Ranaldo, lead guitarist. Drummer Steve Shelley completed the cast when he joined in 1985. Although I wouldn't necessarily deem Hits 6f Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg), off 1998's A Thousand Leaves, as the pivotal Sonic Youth experience, a certain power rests in the epic, 11-minute jam sweetly sandwiched between Moore's subdued vocal performance. Stripped from any harmony or modern effects, abstract, breathy words convey a world so purely in the style Ginsberg explored. Ginsberg's legendary stream of consciousness writings reclassified poetry during the Beat Generation's height of creativity in the 1950s. Just as Moore and Ranaldo embrace non-conformity Out on DVD BY BLAINE MOGIL Pride Staff Writer in their compositions, so the Beats expanded upon classic poetic styles. What makes this song so special is the lyrics' ability to stand on their own without the support of any music, regardless of its innovation. Believe me, with imagery like, "the lights will blind up with blues in haiku/the shadow has a dream where painters look to sea," these twisted verses could easily stand up to any coffeehouse recitation this side of San Francisco. The rounded, cool lines end far too early as the listener encounters the haunting noises Sonic Youth are so keen on including in their work. The tempo seems mellow as the band's extraordinary grasp of organic sound fills the already clouded atmosphere. In keeping with Ginsberg's groove, Ranaldo's lead guitar reflects the chaotic, nearly melody-free body of the song. No discernable pattern exists, making duplication of any measure virtually impossible. Who would want to try, anyway? Suddenly, Moore's ethereal tenor returns like it never left. Echoing rhymes past, the steady drone of guitar, drums, and bass combined with the even lyrics surprisingly produce a lull until gently fading out. Never in my life would I expect to feel calmed after a Sonic Youth encounter, but to this weary listener, the respite is welcome.

Only by going into the vault could someone find a great movie. Two documentaries fell short of their potential and the Hollywood movie factory feature sunk faster than the Titanic, with the incredible waste of time and money on "Pineapple Express." I still can't decide who was more foolish, me for wasting two hours and four bucks or the studio wasting their millions and the celluloid for the film. "F*ck: A Documentary" Sometimes, everything seems to fall into place. In the morning, the story broke about Christian Bale unleashing an F-bomb fury on a set worker whilefilmingthe new Terminator movie. One might offhandedly dismiss the premise of this film, thinking it a way to quickly make superfluous amounts of money through the gratuitous use of the word 'f*ck\ This film is, however, a middleweight attempt to create a public intercourse about the most fundamental of our freedoms, the freedom of speech. If your sensibilities are easily disturbed, this film will shock you with more than 800 uses of the word f*ck. If you are desensitized, then thefilmwill not likely shocked you. This movie could have carried out a very serious discussion about the wider implications of censorship in our country, but it does not. It could have pushed for an open debate on the subject, but it instead makes light of any potential debate and provides fluffy opinions from people on both sides o fthe issue, t he two sides are; yotTKTS?" free speech, or you're for decency. This is an overly simplistic view of the issue. This pillow-y treatment of the issue leaves no feathers ruffled, and there is insufficient passion for the defense of our freedom of speech, a founding core value of our democracy. In spite of the fact this film is less than hard hitting, and avoids fanning the flames of discussion, it does present an issue that we should all be concerned about, regardless of our views. Liberal, Conservative, or Moderate in your politics, you should see this film with friends and make sure you never stop the discussion about the importance of our freedom of speech, for f*ck sake. Soft-hearted 'What to See' *** "Pineapple Express" For the first time in my life, after seeing this movie, I logged onto the web to see what other reviewers thought about this film. I thought that maybe I missed something. I didn't. The only scene possessing even a small chuckle, for a sober viewer, was featuring Bill Hader from SNL as Private Miller. This opening scene lasts for only a couple of minutes. Thisfilmso desperately tries to be a buddy actionflick,wrapped in an E-Z Wider. The wrapper is clearly evident throughout the whole hazy picture. The script was apparently written under the influence. The acting is pedestrian, and there was simply nothing in thefilmthat provides any return on the investment of time wasted watching this bummer. Had I seen it at the theatre, I wouldn't have only demanded my money back, but I would have demanded the two hours of my life back as well. It may well be that in the proper "frame of mind," there may be some enjoyment to be found here, but there are simply too many good films out there to enjoy, to waste yourself on this one. Chronic 'What to Miss' * "14 Women" The documentary chronicles the lives of 14 women who serve as United States Senate. This film greatly undershoots the mark in offering insight into the lives of these dedicated public servants. In attempting to show that these energetic, caring and driven women not only see to the needs of the millions of constituents they represent, but that they also have daily family responsibilities just like you and me. In this regard, the viewer will no doubt come away with a greater respect for the work these women do. The manner in which this film displays these everyday champions of 'we the people' lacks any sense of cohesiveness and contains no narrative. jumps from one* Senator to the next, using candid clips and interviews interchangeably, and does so without any apparent rhyme or reason. I so wanted to recommend this film when I selected it for this weeks review, but unfortunately the weakness of the film, incredibly, outweighs the strengths of 14 great women Senators combined. 'What to Miss'Barely** "A Day at the Races" This is a greatfilmfromthe Vault. If you have never seen the greatness that is the Marx brothers, then this movie will provide the best introduction to their comic genius. While 70 years may have left a patina on thisfilm,even now you can see the bold and brazen innuendo that Groucho Marx created decades ahead of his time. This movie immensely helped the mood of our country while it was emerging from the first Great Depression. Perhaps now, as much as ever, we can all use a good laugh.

Leonard Marsh, Hyman Golden, and Arnold Greenburg grew up together as friends. Originally, the trio sold purefruitdrinks to health conscious stores. The Snapple name came from one of their originalfruitflavored drinks. The apple flavored drink tasted snappy, giving birth to the company's world famous name. Snapple Lemon Tea debuted as the first product in 1987. Currently, the company sells nearly 70 flavors of tea to over 81 countries. A 20 fluid ounce plastic bottle of Snapple Diet Lemon Iced Tea retails between $2-3. Although the glass tea bottle offers the popular random fact under the bottle cap such as a gold fish's attention span is three seconds, the plastic version can be taken anywhere a tea connoisseur desires. The diet version has zero calories making the drink a perfect choice for many still working on their New Year's resolution to consume healthier products. The tea is also made from natural lemon flavors, amongst other natural flavors. BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer Ever since my first semester here at CSUSM, I have enjoyed the semester tradition of browsing during Cougar Bazaar. Imre Papp shows up each semester to display his wares for the CSUSM community. Although Papp frequents street fairs and shows, he states that he enjoys CSUSM for its "light atmosphere" and "friendly students." Papp takes pride in the quality of his garments. He just wants to sell "good clothes to good students " "I just love the prices," said CSUSM community member, Chelsea Taylor. While browsing the tees, Taylor described her style as eclectic, "a mix between I don't give a fuck, and I am beautiful After a slight shaking the tea pours thin releasing a hint of fresh lemon. A murky reddish brown illuminates the tea glass filled to the brim with ice cubes. The fluid easily passes through the lips and into the mouth. A refreshing charge of lemony zest energizes all aspects of the mouth. The diet tea does not taste as bold as the regular tea but the trade off for zero calories balances the discrepancy. Add a slice of lemon to the brim for extra zing. The tea pairs well with light lunches such as tuna sandwiches and chef salads. The small doses of caffeine make any Snapple product a great treat for any Cougar during a day of rigorous classes. Next time, buy two Snapple teas and enjoy the refreshing beverage at a bench or under a tree with a fellow classmate. Cheers! enough to wear anything." Taylor's shopping companion Alix Fidel also loves shopping. A frequent Cougar Bazaar shopper, Fidel added ", the guy who works here is really nice." Fidel describes her style as "classic, clean and tailored." Two women, two different style philosophies: same love of bargain buys. The clothes on display appeal to the average college student. There is a great variety of shirts and an awesome array of sassy scarves. The style is reminiscent of brands such as Pacsun and Sun Diego. The clothes match the classic California beach aesthetic. In other words, the clothes are laidback. In general, the vibe is youthful, vivacious and carefree. The garments are very rea- sonably priced ranging from $8.00-$35.00, although the vast majority are priced under $20.00. I still recall my purchase last semester, a gray jersey cardigan that I was planning to buy from Urbanoutfitters for a mere $12.00. Originally, the same jersey cardigan was available online for $30.00. I got it for less than half the price. Needless to say, I was ecstatic and decided it was in my best interest to buy another cardigan the next day. Overall, I purchased two cardigans for a price less then the original. I left satisfied and my wallet was equally grateful. If you have the patience and time I would recommend browsing through Papp's clothes, you never know what you'll find. Five movies to watch on Valentine's Day Women and men will enjoy any of these movies BY DIANA VALDIVIA Pride Staff Writer Sometimes it's hard to find one movie that you and your . significant nthpr wmilH Vintfo like to watch. Here are 5 movie picks that couples can watch together on Valentine's Day. 1. P.S. I Love You I might be a bit biased on this pick since it is one of my favorite movies of all the time but I can ensure that it is definitely worth watching if you have not already done so. You Word(s) 40-Watt \ will laugh and cry, and laugh some more with this great movie. 2. Knocked Up! Not as much of a guy movie .as. "Superbad". yet not as much of a girl movie as "27 Dresses." "Knocked Up!" is a hilarious comedy that will have you laughing for quite some time. 3. Kung Fu Panda "Kung Fu Panda" is a quirky animated comedy about the unexpected hero that will make you cheer for him throughout the movie. You are never too old to watch this movie. 4 .1 Am Legend Will Smith hardly disappoints his audience and "I am Legend" is not an exception. "I Am Legend" has the scary and suspense elements that both of you will love. 5. Dark Knight If you have not seen "The Dark Knight" yet you are definitely missing out. It might be long movie to sit through but it will not disappoint you. The suspense will keep you at the edge of your seat and did I mention there is a love story within the main plot?

February 2 8 San Diego State University graouate student, Ashley Wardle, was at risk o f a possible two-year suspension from the university after protesting against possible tuition increases within the CSU-UC education system. On Nov. 16, 2011 CSU students from San Diego and Long Beach gathered to protest tuition increases at a CSU Board o f Trustees meeting in Long Beach. Wardle said, "Until tuition increases end, until class sizes stop raising [sic] at the same time as executive compensation, until all those things end I will continue to protest." The protest was held due to a now approved state-wide nine percent tuition increase that will be imposed this fall for the 2012-2013 academic year. On average, tuition will increase by $500 for all undergraduate CSU students and even more for graduate students. Staff, students and the public want the CSU Board o f Trustees to t ax the wealthiest one percent in the state in order to better fund higher education tuition. Board members did n otallow students ~o speak in the meeting and were removed from the meeting, which most considered unfair, causing commotion among the students outside o f the office. I n an effort to participate, students began chanting as they attempted to enter Chancellor Charles B.

Students from UC Berkeley were also arrested due · to protests to the tuition increases and were removed o f any blame by President Robert Birgeneau. Many wish for SDSU president Elliot Hirshman and Chancellor Charles Reed to grant the same for Ashley Wardle. A settlement statement was presented to Ashley Wardle on Jan. 6, 2012, which states that suspension will not be activated, allowing Wardle to continue attendance at SDSU. However, Wardle will be ineligible to participate or hold leadership positions in student organizations.

U.S. 9th Circuit Court o f Appeals concluded that the 2008 proposition that bannedsame-sex marriage violated the U.S. Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. "They took a step in the right direction. It's an issue o f civil rights, we deserve happiness and loyalty. Many people came from across the board to do what's right," Ana Flores Community Advocate for CSUSM's the Pride Center said.

La Sierra's offense never had the opportunity to get off the ground with the Cougars defense dominating for a fourth straight win Saturday night. CSUSM got off to a quick and strong start, gaining the lead with the first basket o f the game, a lead they wouldn't relinquish for the remainder o f the game. After leading 28 - 21 in the first half, the second half is where the lady Cougar's defense really came out to shine, holding La Sierra to just 14 points by the end o f the second half, The 35 point total from La Sierra was the lowest opponent score given up by the Cougars' defense all season. T he La Sierra Golden Eagles were held to just 16 percent shooting from the field, while CSUSM shot an outstanding 46.7 percent from the field. Senior night recognized the lady Cougars' lone senior, guard Justine Chacon before the game's openrng tip off. Justine added 11 points, along with three rebounds and two steals. The team's leading scorer for the night was freshman guard Cassie Damyanovich, who scored 16 o f the teams total points, making four 3-pointers. The Cougars now improve to 15-13 on the season, and will look to finish their inaugural season on a high note after their final two games this week.

Parking on the bottom floor o f C SUSM's parking garage and walking to the top will burn 30 calories. Climb six flights o f stairs, three times per day and you have burned almost I 00 calories. •Park further away than normal: A 154 lb person will burn roughly five calories per minute walking briskly. Park in the far corner o f the parking lot, and you've burned about 10 - 20 extra calories just on the way to class. •Stretch often: you can stretch anywhere. Stretching burns three calories per minute for a 154 lb person, according to the CDC. Stretch for five minutes before and after class , and you've burned an extra 30 calories.

Organized by Professor Sandra Doller, the hour-long event touched on a number o f issues and topics including racism, politics and the corroding ideal o f American optimism. Rankine's presentation began with a viewing o f .three five-minute long video essays that she produced with her husband, visual artist John Lucas. The first video was a slowed-down version o f soccer player Zinedine Zidane's infamous head-butt. As Zidane slowly crept into position to deliver his ribsplitting head butt, Rankine's voice calmly spoke over the incident about the issue o f race itself, quoting a number o f famous authors including James Baldwin, Frederick Douglass and Shakespeare. The second film clip was a collage o f various people sleeping on airtine flights. The audio for this video was projected i n three layers. The sound o f a heartbeat could be heard throughout the video, while Rankine's spoken word and the tragic, final phone calls from those who perished on the various 9/11 flights accompanied it. The final video o f the trio was a somber, yet more hopeful one. It depicted a black man sitting in some sort o f car, staring out the window as the vehicle cruised to its destination. After the video wrapped up, Rankine explained what each video was about and revealed that the final video was actually about o f a pair o f brothers who had been imprisoned for twenty years o f their lives on unfair robbery chargers. The video was filmed on the day that one o f the brothers was released from prison. This segued into a discus- _ sion about a murder trial soon to be held in Brandon, Miss. Rankine explained the gruesome story, in which 19-year-old white male Deryl Dedmond intentionally ran over an innocent black man; for no clear reason. Further details explained that there is a chance that Dedmond may get away with his senseless act o f brutality. This provided a powerful paradoxical contrast to the two black men wrongly imprisoned for 20 years, bringing up racial issues in a powerful and candid manner. "Whiteness defines normality," Rankine said in regards to the contrast between the two cases. After a few more readings from her book . " Don't Let Me Be Lonely," Rankine concluded the e vent b y taking questions. Notable questions were about her opinion o f President Obama, to which she replied that while she did initially support his campaign, "No political party or presidency [is] going to have all o f the right answers." However, she stated that she did not believe hope is slipping away from the American people and that those in power needed to keep their promises and help those truly i n need rather than bend to the ways o f capitalism.

The holiday o f love is also known as St. Valentine's Day, due to its ties to the martyred Saint Valentine.

There are many other ·saints possessing the same name who are believed to have influenced the creation o f the holiday through their romantic heroism. According to the Britannica Online Encyclopedia, Valentine's Day also has origins from the Roman festival Lupercalia, which waS celebrated in mid-February. "The festival, which celebrated the c on$lg o f spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off o f women with men by lo~ry," the article states. b ack end o f the 5th century, the pope replaced the festival with St. Valentine's Day. There are also several iconic symbols o f the holiday. These include a heart, possessing a stylized shape-; birds, due to their springtime mating season; and Cupid, the Roman god o f love who would cause his subjects to experience love and passion by shooting them with an arrow. According to the Britannica Online Encyclopedia, while the imprisoned priest may have written t he first "valentine," formal letters and cards did not appear until much later.

Since its announcement early last year, the handheld has been officially titled the PlayStation Vita (PSV), and Sony has released loads o f hardware details. Whether or not the launch is a success is determined by garners, but Sony is ready to win them over with a wealth o f new f eatures- some good and some that will leave you cursing the name "Vita." T he Good L et's start with the awesome stuff Sony packed into the new portable. The Vita places a heavy emphasis on digital distribution. That being said, the device is capable o f down- loading and playing all PlayStation Portable (PSP) games that are available o n the PlayStation Network (PSN). I f you downloaded P SP games from P SN, you can play them on your new Vita by linking it with your P SN account. The handheld will also sport a front and rear camera for use with applications like Skype. Developers are showing the Vita lots o f love with the release o f big-name launch titles such as "ModNation Racers: Road Trip," "Uncharted: Golden Abyss," "Wipeout 2048," "Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 ," "Street Fighter X Tekken" and "Touch M y Katamari." These titles are shaping up to give the Vita an impressive start in the software department. Sony built in a gorgeous 5 " O LED touch screen, doing justice to those graphically stunning games. The Vita also has a rear touch pad, adding new depth PlayStation's handheld devices. For the truly nerdy, the PSV will feature a 32-bit quad-core processor, allowing quick navigation around the device.

I am one o f the thousands o f students across California who was, and will most likely continue to be, affected by the loss o f financial aid. I n the 2010-2011 academic year financial aid, grants and a small subsidized Joan covered my educational costs quite comfortably. However, in the 2011-2012 school year, my family's annual household income exceeded the new maximum aid level by $19 causing my aid money to be cut in half, forcing me to take out a much bigger loan. I fear that in the years to come, the Dream Act will cut my aid even more. With the Dream Act going into effect in California for the 2013-2014 academic year, I worry that I may be even more impacted despite Governor Jerry Brown's assurance that this bill will not affect citizens. The Dream Act stipulates that undocumented immigrants can apply and receive financial aid. O f course they have to qualify under the same guidelines as any other citizen, and in no way is money just handed to them. In order to be even eligible to receive finds, immigrants must also attend a California high school for at least three years. Also graduate from a California high school and file and affidavit with the college or university stating that they have applied to be- come citizens and will do so as soon as they are eligible. For several decades my great-grandparents, grandparents, parents and myself have paid taxes to provide the fund for financial aid to needy students, and this is being handed to undocumented immigrants who have not paid into the system. The bill does state that these qualified immigrants will only receive financial aid i f there is money left over after first giving it to citizens and will not max over five percent o f the total budget. However, why should there be any extra money left over to give out? Each year the cost o f education rises but aid distributions get smaller. Starting this year, income levels to receive Pell Grants fot the 2012-13 school year c an't max $23,000 compared to last years $32,000. Doing basic math, i f you or parents made more than $11 an hour. working 40 hours a week, for 52 weeks then you do not qualify for Pell Grant aid. It's baffling to think that the state o f California would rather give financial aid to the 2,500 eligible undocumented high school students who graduate each year, then raise the income limits to help natural born citizens like myself, and thousands o f others like me, who will now need to find other ways to fund their education. c ougorchron.opinion@gmail com F EBRUARY 1 4, 2 012 sions o f the P SV - one is exclusively Wi-Fi and the other has 3G support via AT&T's 3G network. AT&T will be offering a data plan similar to a phone's data plan with $15 and $30 monthly plans. Though that sounds decent, 3G functions .will b e limited. According to IGN .com, players will not be able to play multiplayer games over the 3G network. Furthermore, the AT&T network still ranks last i n terms o f customer satisfaction compared to the three other m ajor networks according to CNN.com. The Wi-Fi version is limited to whatever Wi-Fi connections are available nearby, but over time, it'll be a big money saver versus the 3G Vita. Verdict T he PlayStation Vita has plenty o f goods to keep you entertained during those breaks between classes, but buyers b eware-there are a couple downsides to the new gadget. For hardcore garners, the device will be a must~ave.

Historic power outage affects millions Jenna Jauregui Co-Editor-in-Chief A hush fell over Cal State San Marcos last Thursday as every air conditioner, fluorescent light, and computer abruptly stopped working. The campus went dark around 3:30 p.m. when a highvoltage power line between Arizona and Southern California failed, leaving 1.4 million San Diego Gas and Electric customers suddenly without power. T he unprecedented outage affected millions o f people from Mexico to Orange County to parts o f Arizona. All electricity users, including stores, gas stations, schools, offices and residences were completely without power. Traffic gridlocked throughout the county as people tried to navigate the lightless intersections. Due to the initial mystery behind the outage_, the high volume o f commut- ers and crippled safety resources, county authorities declared the situation a local emergency. Because the sudden loss o f p ower affected such a massive area and occurred just before the lOth anniversary o f 9/11, many people were afraid the outage may have been a result o f another terrorist attack. S DG&E confirmed otherwise in a press statement released on Friday. " The p ower outage began with a major transmission outage in western Arizona that caused a loss o f power to southern California. Shortly afterward, the S an Onofre Generating Station went o ff line. As a resuJt, SDG&E did not have adequate resources on its system to keep power on across its service territory," SDG&E officials said. S DG&E announced at about 3:30 a.m. Friday morning that power had been restored to many o f its customers. C SUSM and San Diego State University, among 6 -9 p .m. A rts 2 40.

Women's Soccer All-Conference Team with head coach, Ron Pulvers, named Coach o f the Year. The new season started on a high note as the NAIA announced in early September that the lady Cougars were ranked 15th in the nation. Game after game, the team proved what CSUSM women's soccer is all about.. Again, playing another game only three days later, the lady Cougars faced off in Fresno against Fresno Pacific. At first, the game was a toss up with both teams evenly matched. At the start o f the second half, the Cougars came off the bench hungry for a goal to keep their undefeated streak alive. Only minutes into the second half, freshman Courtney Kay scored 1he games only goal after Fresno's keeper lost the ball during a free kick from just outside the box by Shannon Cox. Kay's goal was icing on the cake as she celebrated her birthday and kept the Cougars at a solid 3-0 start. G amel G ame4 The season kicked off with an impressive 4-0 win verses Point Park.

Photos By: Morgan Hall Kelly McLin When The CSUSM women's volleyball players hit the courts for practice in !-lunter gymnasium, the pride o f representing San Marcos will be the team's main drive to push them through all o f the hard work in its inaugural season. Cal State San Marcos announced last fall that the athletic department would be adding women's volleyball to the university's growing list o f sports offerings. The team was slowly starting to commit players and a coach before the start o f the fall season. The young team, made up o f ten freshmen, one sophomore, and five juniors, will play all home games at the Escondido High School gyni until a larger Gymnasium can be built on campus. " It is going to be a little hard to play home games off campus, but it's also amazing to think that Escondido supports us enough to let us use their gym," freshman Tayler Gomez said. One player does admit that being a part o f a first-year team and juggling class work does occasionally come with some pressure. "Becaus~ student athletes are such a small group on campus, we really want to prove that we can represent both the student athletes and the school," sophomore Rachel Quam said. Quam also reflected that even though they are athletes, "school work comes first. We truly are students before athletes." As their season enters week four, the players are starting to settle in on campus and find their niche on the team. "We have been focusing a lot on team building, and I think we have finally meshed as a team," freshman K iki Atuatasi said. The most memorable achievements for the team have been their 25-22, 25-22, 12-25 scores, A couple o f highlights include a 2523, stunning win over the number-one ranked Fresno Pacific as well as a win over the number seven ranked Lewis-Clark State. The CSUSM W6men's Volleyball team currently holds a record o f 13-5 and is set to play their first home game o f the season at Escondido High School today at 8 p.m. vs. San Diego Christan. Erin Talafus Lindsay Mitchell Brittany Thompson Rice s cores t wice M en's s occer v ictory o ver W estmont g ives t eam t heir first win Kyle Trembley Contributor Through the team's tough 0-3 start, Cal State San Marcos men's soccer haS been unable to catch a break. That changed in the second half o f Monday's game at Westmont, when the Cougars were able to take advantage o f two miscues by the home team and win the match 4-2. CSUSM improves to 1-3 on the year with the much-needed victory. Westmont drops to 0-4. Playing their final game at the Westmont Heritage Club Classic to~ament, Coach Ron Pulvers' Cougars came out looking to make a statement, and did so almost immediately. Just one minute into the game, a shot by Alex Rodriguez was stopped by the Westmont keeper, but Scott Rice was able to punch in the rebound for his first .career CSUSM goal and the first goal o f the season for the Cougars. Rice was not content with one, however: I n the 15th minute, AllConference midfielder Jake Kai- ser served in a dangerous ball from 30 yards out, connecting with Rice who headed it past the keeper. Up 2-0 at the 15-minute mark, the Cougars were riding high but were quickly reminded that nothing thus far this s~ason has come easy. In the 22nd minute, a foul call on the edge o f the box gave Westmont a penalty kick, which was converted to make it 2-1. Westmont would tie it in the 34th minute on a goal from Emmanuel Akyen, capitalizing on a stretch o f play in which CSUSM was frankly a bit lucky to escape from without being behind. But the second half would belong to the Cougars. Adjusting to the super-direct style o f play that served Westmont so well late in the first half, Coach Pulvers directed his team to start pressuring the back line to shut down the long passes that had been hurting CSUSM. The adjustment worked brilliant, as not only did the Cougars tilt the run o f play back in their favor, they pounced on two mistakes by Westmont's inexperienced defense to score a pair o f goals. In the 61st minute, a lazy pass back to the keeper was picked off by a very alert Eric Lopez, who buried his first goal as a Cougar to put his side up 3-2. Another first-time goal scorer, Sullivan Tobin, would ice the match in the 85th minute, intercepting a pass on the back line and striking a wonderful shot into the comer o f the net from 25 yards out to put CSUSM up 4-2 and close the door on the team's first win. K iki Castro picked up the win in net for CSUSM, making a couple key. saves when the match was 2-2 to preserve the victory. M en's S occer w ent o n t o w in P oint L orna 2-1 a nd C al T ech 5-0.

Here are tips on ways to save on textbooks, one o f the hardest hitting expenses o f college life. R ent y our textbooks Websites such as Chegg.com and ecampus.com allow students to rent their textbooks for a lower price than purchasing the textbook. Chegg.com's mission statement is to save students money and keep the cost o f textbooks to a minimum. Also, renting books allows the student to pick the timeframe they want to keep the textbook. The less time the book is kept, the less it costs. A mazon.com Amazon offers a cheap marketplace for buying and selling textbooks. College students may sign up for Amazon Student, which the website reads "free two-day shipping for six months with Amazon Prime shipping benefits, as well as exclusive offers via e-mail." Amazon also allows students to a e mo sell back their textbooks at the end o f the semester, by signing up as an Amazori seller. Students can gain back a portion o f the money they used to purchase the book. Interlibrary Loan Many students do not know about interlibrary loans. I f you go to biblio.csusm.edu or library. csusm.edu (they are the same website), there is a link on the right column to sign up for the interlibrary loan service. Students can sign up for the service for free using their campus ID and password, then librarians search through the San Diego library circuit to find i f other libraries carry the book you requested. This usually works for novels assigned for class, and the book is shipped to your house in approximately less than a week. Course Reserves Ask your professor i f they put any o f the required course materials on course reserve. I f they did, you many go into the third floor o f the library and check out the textbook for two hours. Students are not permitted to leave the library with the book, but you may copy the pages using a print card on any floor o f the library. This is a great option i f your professor only assigned· a couple pages or chapters o f the book . . Share with a classmate/friend Save money by splitting the cost o f the book with a classmate or friend. Most people are happy to share textbooks with other students, i f they are strapped for cash. I f you need assistance in getting any required course mateials, talk to your professor in office hours; most o f the time, your professor can help you devise a way to get what you need.

C SUSM recognizes three sororities (Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Chi Om~ga, and Alpha X i Delta), and two fraternities (Zeta Beta Tau and S igma Alpha Epsilon). According to a 2 008 memo from Student L ife and Leadership Director. Dilcie Perez, the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon ( 'fKE) is no longer recognized on the CSUSM campus. Alpha P i Sigma (.AIU:) is a Latina based sorority. Its website, alphapisigma.org, states its mission is " to unite and support women to advance academically ai:J.d professionally." Alpha Chi O mega (AXO) is a sorority dedicated to developing " smart, compassionate, makea-difference women," according to alphachiomega.org. This sorority makes a strong ·commitment to "academics, community service and leadership." Alpha X i D elta (A3~) is a sorority with a vision: "inspiring women to realize their potential." Its website, alphaxidelta. org, states the organization's commitment to developing its members strengths and talents within the sorority's sisterhood. Zeta Beta Tau ( ZBn is " the n ation's first Jewish fraternity," according to zbt.org. I t is " open to all men o f good character" and seeks to help its members develop "intellectual awareness, social responsibility, integrity and brotherly love." Sigma Alpha Epsilon (~AE) is a fraternity that touts the message " be true." Its website, sae. net, states that the organization helps its members "fulfill their educational aspirations and goals," a nd promotes· programs that teach "leadership, scholarship, and personal development." Students can discover many opportunities by joining a G reek organization. C SUSM is proud to host these fraternities and sorority chapters, but students must remember to always be safe and legal when representing their organization. H students have questions o r concerns regarding any campus organization's activities, they should contact Student Life and Leadership (csusm.edu!sll). ylla I 'm a third year history major at California State University San Marcos.

The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 became the Pearl Harbor o f the millennia! g eneration- America watched and listened in shock as the news coverage revealed the devastation and horror. On Sept. 12,2011, the United States declared war, targeting the Afghanistan-based leader group, Osama Bin Laden. Oct. 8, 2001 marked the beginning o f President Bush's "War on Terror." A generation o f fresh veterans was born from this decision as young people saw an opportunity to serve their t ry , " I saw a need for medics," Navy Corpsman Mark Mallare, a Cal State San Marcos student veteran and kinesiology major, said. "There were many opportunities in medicine after 9/11. There were so many trauma patients that needed to be cared for." Another opportunity that appealed to America's new military recruits was the new GI Bill, which was revised after the 9/11 disaster to include more benefits for those who serve. Signed into law in July o f 2008, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, or GI Bill 2.0, created a "new robust education benefits program rivaling the WWII era GI Bill o f Rights," according to an overview o f the bill at military.com/education. The bill's benefits apply to "servicemembers who have served on active duty for 90 or more days since Sept. 10, 200 l ," and are "tiered based on the number o f days served on active duty." Several revisions to this bill came into effect in August 2011. revisions include full coverage o f tuition and public schools, including gradu~ ate training. I n addition, Students may be reimbursed for national exams such as the SAT, as well as tests for licensing and certification. Some unfortunate changes include the end o f " preak pay," which means students will not receive monthly payments for housing or other needs during semester breaks in the school term. The Veterans Center at CSUSM (c susm . edu/outreach/VeteransServices) exists to help student veterans understand how to obtain these benefits as well as offer a safe and friendly environment that promotes camaraderie between military branches. Mallare, who works in the Veterans Center, said he wanted to help people in the same way people helped him when he started at CSUSM. "We give students peace o f .mind and assist students with their paperwork," he said. The center offers computers, a friendly staff, and a television for students who just want to unwind and hang out. "We are also looking to start a lending library t() help students with their textbook needs," Amber Bouge, who also works in the Veterans Center, said. A my S alis b ury's " The M ug" P ut stuff in, stir it around, enjoy it o r hate it F reedom o f t he p ress I mportance o f m edia t ransparecy p ost 9 -11 As I sat down to write this article, I expected to offer commentary on the American media's coverage o f the events o f 9/11. The vast and varied ways that television, film and print journalism told the story o f the attacks made for extremely compelling capsules o f information that still have relevance all o f 10 years later. Within that commentary, I expected to be critical o f the media; I wanted to explain why revealing the president's location on 9/11 and airing footage o f people jumping out o f the World Trade Center buildings was beyond the responsibility o f media. The more I considered the subject, however, I uncovered a different angle to this type o f response (which is rather common among those who e xpress an opinion, it seems). W h i 1e many sought to criticize the media for their ~- c o m prehensive c-overage o f the day's events, others understood the i ntent p ortreal- importance within a free society. This concept o f "media transparency" is an irrefutable asset to the American public. Should the media cover up events in order to maintain an advanced state o f public order or government secrecy, the concept o f freedom would cease to exist as fast as true journalism would. Media, as a service to the public, preserves transparency so it may preserve freedom. All media outlets, from the largest metropolitan newspaper to the local dailies, have got toreport the whole truth. For the years that I have been with The Pride, I have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with covering events that happen on campus. True journalism seeks the whole story and reveals it accurately and ethically. Journalists often feel confused or threatened by the concept of revealing sensitive or controversial information, but those in the business o f reporting truth must do just that. As the editor of the Opinion section, I encourage the students, staff, faculty and community to report truths by writing Letters to the Editor ad- readers deem important and worthy o f exploration.

So, having fun somewhere without having to ask mom and dad for money is an offer no one can resist. For those who rely on the Sprinter to get from point A to B; adventures in San Marcos are hardly far. For some outdoorsy adventures, taking a stroll through Jack's Pond located at 986 La Moree Road is a great place to do homework, relax and soak in the rays. The peaceful scenery and the sounds o f nature can offer a place to kick back and enjoy life or finish up lab reports and next week's essay . For those who are not familiar with ·the area, Balboa Park is perfect way to get a taste o f true southern California culture. The tourist attraction offers beautiful scenery to enjoy throughout the day and it's perfect for snapping photos for memories to frame forever. Carousels, mini railroads and museums galore are some o f the attractions visitors are able to choose from. The park gives you the opportunity to have fun exploring trails without burning a hole in your wallet. Balboa is perfect destination, whether it be on a romantic night out or a day with your family. Located just 40 minutes from CSU San Marcos, Balboa Park is a great place to get away for the day and relax while experiencing the beauty that San Diego has to offer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Parking tickets at CSUSM usually run $25, and can reach up to $100 for parking in a reserved spot. Revenue from the tickets that are issued does not go back into the parking system, but rather to San Diego County for various alternate modes o f transportation such as vanpools and carpools.

There is a 21-day grace period during which students have the chance to contest the ticket. After appealing, the contestation will go in front o f an appeal board, which is made up o f three people who are not affiliated with the parking system. It normally takes six to eight weeks to receive a reply, after which time the ticket will either be dismissed or upheld. I f the ticket is upheld then you have an option for a second level hearing. In other words, tickets can be appealed twice. I f students drop classes or dis- enroll, the parking institution will consider refunding your parking pass on a pro-rated scale. Many students are unaware o f this and simply throw their passes away not knowing that they might be eligible for a refund. Information on parking services can be found on their website at www.csusm.edu/parking. O n the site there is information concerning future plans o f action including expansion and parking pass increases.

Regarding how cuts will affect faculty, Guseman said that, " No tenured or track faculty will be released. Because we're offering fewer sections, we may use fewer adjuncts," including those faculty who have been teaching less than two years, typically teaching one or two classes. "We have some excellent adjunct faculty, and our desire is to keep those," he said. Despite budget reductions, the college's $27,640,000 business building, to be completed by January 2006, will not be threatened. Funding for the building comes from a different budget than the colleges operating expenses. The building "has always been protected under the Governor's economic stimulus plan," Guseman said. BUSINESS, from page 1 ing fewer opportunities to attend conferences and seminars. This will impact "currency": the ability o f instructors to remain on the cutting edge o f their field. "Faculty will have to delay some things they'd like to do for a year," Guseman said. Guseman characterized expected budget cuts as a " bump in the road," saying: "We want to minimize any long-term damage. We have to look at this as a shortterm phenomenon. We don't want to make some decisions that will impact our ability to continue to grow for the future." Rather than focusing purely on cutting costs, the college will generate additional revenues. The college has already had some success in such efforts, Guseman said. " The business community really does realize the importance o f having quality education." One such fundraising measure is to increase the fees for companies hosting students in the college's "senior experience" program - a program allowing students to collaborate on projects with businesses in the community. Additional revenues accrued from businesses in this manner would help defer costs incurred by the program.

T hese were not forced increases, such as resulted from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's budget cuts. These were optional, a nd were open to b e v oted o n for four days by any student at C SUSM. W hether the fee increases were needed is not the point. Rather, the shocking thing is that 93 percent o f C SUSM s tudents apparently did not care that they might b e r equired to pay an extra $37 p er s emester from now on. Almost five hundred students voted on the two fee increases proposed b y S tudent H ealth Services. O f those, 289 voted yes o n t he first increase and 261 o n t he second (ostensibly 261 o f t he same students that supported the first). 3 T hat means that about three hundred students decided that all seven thousand o f us will pay $ 37 m ore every semester until we graduate - and not only us, but also new students who will have to abide b y the results o f last month's vote. I have a hard time believing that all o f the students who didn't vote will not care or notice when the increases take effect next semester. In fact, I 'll b et that more than a few will b e standing out in front o f the cashier's office, shaking their heads and complaining about how high the fees are. O ut o f all o f t he reasons to vote, direct monetary incentives should r ank a mong the top two or three. For students, I would expect it to be number one. My guess is that at the very least, seventy o r eighty percent o f CSUSM s tudents care when their fees go up. So why wasn't there a seventy or eighty percent turnout for the election? The next time you have the chance to vote o n a fee increase, you will have the same two options you h ad t his time: to vote, or to let a minority o f the student body decide how much money you should pay for extracurricular services.

A pleasurable event Sex toy workshop instructed, delighted large audience By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter Even though spring break had started for most students Thursday evening, March 25, there was a line o f over 150 students standing outside o f the Arts 240 lecture hall. The students were waiting to participate in the final segment o f the Women's History Month series - a sex toy workshop. Thirteen events were sponsored by the women's studies department and organized by student Josh Harris throughout the month o f March, and included such events as a vaudeville performance, hula dancing and a slam poetry reading by Bridgette Gray. "We had a hard time judging how many people would turn out," said Harris. Harris said that the only other event with such a large turnout was " The Vagina Monologues," where people were actually turned away. He said this event was more fortunate since there was enough room for everyone who came to have a seat in the audience. The two hour sex toy workshop was led by Laura Weide, a self proclaimed "missionary o f pleasure," and aimed at educating students about their bodies and understanding sexual pleasure. The lecture encouraged safe sex and enlightened the audience about pleasures o f the flesh. As the crowd packed into the lecture hall, a few curious individuals ventured to the table at the front o f the room where a number o f sex toys were on display. As the eager crowd took their seats Harris gave a brief introduction by paying tribute to Marcy Calderon, a human sexuality activist. Weide, with blond braided pig tails, black rimmed vintage glasses, dressed in a black western shirt adorned with embroidered red rose patterns and black leather pants, took the stage. She started the evening by encouraging volunteers from the audience to participate in a game that involved sex anatomy terminology. Volunteers walked to the front o f the room and were challenged to guess t he anatomy term displayed on large pieces o f poster board behind their backs. Clues were shouted out by the audience for the volunteers to guess from, and as Weide had predicted, it was pandemonium. The room erupted into cheers and light-hearted laughter as the crowd shouted descriptions for words like "perineum" and "frenulum." After the short exercise, Weide went into a discussion about the biological anatomy o f male and female genitalia. Weide provided information about anatomy and dispelled myths by answering questions from the audience. Discussion ranged from Kegel exercises, to orgasms, to safe sex, to masturbation, and a variety o f other sexual topics. After the discussion, Weide turned to the sex toy table. She explained the design, application, and safe use o f the various toys and passed them through the audience. The lecture hall buzzed with the sound o f vibrators and a few brave audience members even volunteered to model for the "strap on" products. After answering questions and the toys were put away, Weide encouraged everyone to have a safe and fun spring break. " I was concerned that in a workshop like this that everyone would be quiet, but I was surprised at the level o f comfort," Harris said. Weide, a sociology graduate, has been an activist since 1995, and said she enjoys leading sex toy workshops and the opportunity to educate people, while organizing against groups encouraging the oppression o f sexuality. Weide said she has not faced much opposition to her workshops. " I think people selfselect," she said. "People -who don't want to hear about it don't s howup."

Currently, Chuck Walden, facilities director, supports the program. The students seen working in teams around campus and eating lunch next to you in the Dome are part o f the Transition Program.

The program also helps them mainstream into the real world and interact socially with some o f the students and staff on campus.

Every position ran with only one candidate who was unopposed. I can see several reasons for this mockery o f t he democratic process. First, those in charge o f publicizing a nd e ncouraging the student body to r un for office obviously did not do their job. S ome p articular A SI officers who stand out in my mind as ones who have failed the student body in this election are Erin Dalman and Erik Roper. These two were mentioned in a Pride article a few weeks back as the individuals responsible for getting the student body informed and involved in student elections. I t is the j ob o f the Vice President o f E xternal Affairs to " inform the students on student relevant matters," i f ASI elections are not " student relevant," p ardon me. Erin Dalman is our Vice President o f C ommunication and one o f h er duties is to "publish a m onthly newsletter to inform the student body o f p ertinent ASI issues." Well, I guess the ASI elections this year were not a " pertinent" e nough issue to warrant any communication whatsoever to the student body! T he elections this year were a disgrace. I feel the President o f t he University, Karen Haynes, must look into it immediately. A SI's o wn goals were not attained this year as far as their own elections are concerned. According to their goals outlined in their mission statement they want " to c reate a n e nvironment where students can acquire leadership skills a nd p articipate in self-governance." My fellow students, this is not self-governance when ASI fails to r un a respectable election. Another goal o f ASI is to " foster a sense o f c ommunity and pride among all students." I m ust say that I a m n ot proud o f m y schools election process this year and I do not see how anyone can feel " proud" o f t heir school when an election o f this magnitude is r un w ith every candidate running unopposed and with A SI failing to properly inform the student body (that is us).

Every position ran with only one candidate who was unopposed. I can see several reasons for this mockery o f t he democratic process. First, those in charge o f publicizing a nd e ncouraging the student body to r un for office obviously did not do their job. S ome p articular A SI officers who stand out in my mind as ones who have failed the student body in this election are Erin Dalman and Erik Roper. These two were mentioned in a Pride article a few weeks back as the individuals responsible for getting the student body informed and involved in student elections. I t is the j ob o f the Vice President o f E xternal Affairs to " inform the students on student relevant matters," i f ASI elections are not " student relevant," p ardon me. Erin Dalman is our Vice President o f C ommunication and one o f h er duties is to "publish a m onthly newsletter to inform the student body o f p ertinent ASI issues." Well, I guess the ASI elections this year were not a " pertinent" e nough issue to warrant any communication whatsoever to the student body! T he elections this year were a disgrace. I feel the President o f t he University, Karen Haynes, must look into it immediately. A SI's o wn goals were not attained this year as far as their own elections are concerned. According to their goals outlined in their mission statement they want " to c reate a n e nvironment where students can acquire leadership skills a nd p articipate in self-governance." My fellow students, this is not self-governance when ASI fails to r un a respectable election. Another goal o f ASI is to " foster a sense o f c ommunity and pride among all students." I m ust say that I a m n ot proud o f m y schools election process this year and I do not see how anyone can feel " proud" o f t heir school when an election o f this magnitude is r un w ith every candidate running unopposed and with A SI failing to properly inform the student body (that is us). I feel no sense o f c ommunity when A SI alienates the student b ody i n this way. Again, I ask with a sense o f urgency that P resident K aren Haynes looks into this matter immediately. I f I were President o f a prestigious and growing University, such as Cal State San Marcos, I would not allow a matter like this to go unaddressed.

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

Before they step into the "real" world, here are some classes that stimulate the mind and propel them toward graduation day. Each class is followed, in parentheses, by the undergraduate requirement it fulfills. Philosophy 110: Critical Thinking (A3) Philosophy 110 explores approaches to nature and logic as well as rational arguments and fallacies used in everyday conversations. This class makes one think about different ways people argue and how they cannot really support their arguments. GES 105: Intro to Physical Science ( Bl) Let's face it; Many of us are sci- race through the generations. entifically challenged. GES 105 This course is available to fulis a general science class intended fill a humanities requirement. for people that are not too "sci- Women's studies courses are ence savvy." This class provides great for students looking to a conceptual viewpoint to differ- embrace the way women have ent aspects of physical science. developed modern day society. FMST 100: Intro to Cinema ( CI) Intro to Cinema is a fine art requirement class. It is one of the eleven class options CSUSM offers in fine arts. The class explores the four elements of cinema: categories, structures, theories and production of cinema. This is a class for film junkies and people interested in learning about the world of movies. WMST 205: Gender & Identity in Pop Culture and the Media (C2) This women's studies class surveys the way pop culture and the media have shaped gender roles, sexuality and ECON 202: Principles of Macroeconomics (D) Economics courses are not only for business majors. We live in a capitalist country, so to make it in society, you need to understand the relationship between the U.S. economy and the world. Principles of Macroeconomics may not be everyone's "cup of tea," but this class will help you learn about gross domestic products (GDP), inflation, unemployment, monetary policies and deficits. ASTR 342: Elements of Astronomy (BB Math or Science) Elements of Astronomy counts as an upper division math or sci- ence graduation requirement. The course examines human knowledge of the solar systems, galaxies, and their relationships to Earth. ANTH 380: Current Archaeology (DD Social Science) This anthropology course delves into one anthropological subdivision: archaeology. Elements of Current Archaeology explores local archaeological sites and indigenous culture. This class piques the interest of people who would like to connect modern society with our biological ancestors. PSYC 330: Developmental Psychology: Infant/Child (DD Social Science) Most students may one day have children. It would be a great idea to start learning about children now. This upper division psychology class explores the aspects of physical and emo- tional development of a child from conception to early life. HIST 347: California History ( DGGov) This history course provides an in depth look at different periods in the history of the Golden State. This includes periods of Spanish, Mexican and U.S. governance. The course also covers each government's relationship with the original inhabitants of this land. TA 301: Intro to Acting This is a three-unit course that may be repeated for up to nine units. Intro to Acting is a small class that allows the student to practice basic acting techniques and bring out their inner "drama king/queen." During the semester, the student has to prepare their own monologue and scene to perform in front of the class. This is a course for those of us who always dreamed of being in the spotlight . PHOTO COURTESY OF CONRADSCIENCE.20M.COM TO COMMUTE OR NOT TO COMMUTE? I A M A STUDENT A ND A COMMUTER BY DEVONNE EDORA PRIDE STAFF WRITER Students recognize CSUSM a commuter school. Our school's on-campus housing at the University Village Apartments (UVA) is only able to accommodate a total of about 500600 students, from a total student body of about 9,142. Obviously, a great number of students end up having to commute to campus almost everyday. Luckily, students live in a wide variety of off-campus housing. Living in San Marcos isn't always the best financial choice for a student. So, commuting to school i s the way to go. Others may believe that commuting is hard for a variety of reasons. I d on't think it takes anything away from being a college student. I got the chance to talk with two commuters and asked them what they thought about CSUSM's commuter campus. I spoke with Lia Alvarez, a sophomore who commutes from Fallbrook Monday through Thursday. Alvarez's schedule getting to school consists of waking up at 5 a.m. dropping off her daughter by 6, and trying to make the train that will transfer her to the Sprinter arriving at CSUSM. I as asked her why she didn't opt to drive to school. She replied, "I could drive [to CSUSM] and it would take me about an hour, but I don't like driving." Especially if her husband isn't on deployment, Alvarez's only option is to take the train/Sprinter route to get to school. Downsides to commuting are that she has to be on schedule with everything. "If you miss the 306, you have to wait a long time [for the next] to come and you're going to be late," Alvarez said. Students can take the Breeze bus, but it only comes twice every hour, compelling students to travel on foot to reach campus. While to some, this commute may seem tedious, a good amount of students do take the Sprinter to school. Alvarez said that she sees a "lot of students from Palomar and Mira Costa, around 10-15 students, and about 25 students from CSUSM." Jilliane Douglas, .currently a junior, also commutes. She had previously lived on campus. Driving from San Diego twice a week, Douglas describes some of her experiences switching from San Marcos living to commuting. "[Commuting] makes me go to school more, because I have to make that conscious decision to go class. If I don't go to my first class, it's probably likely I won't go to my next one." Douglas also commented that commuting to school hasn't affected her involvement on campus. In actuality, she believes that it has done the opposite. "Honestly; I 'm more involved with the campus. I 'm going to participate in the Triathlon through the Clarke, and I 'm interested in joining a sorority," Douglas said. "Living on campus—I took it for granted. I felt living on campus was the same feeling of being on campus." In comparison to other colleges, this amount of commuting to school appears to be going against what it is to "go to college." Making the drive everyday and being far away from campus events can make it seem like you're not getting the a complete "college experience." Commuting instills a type of discipline that is taken for granted when students live on campus. Interestingly, no one mentioned the perks of living off campus, such as not having to share a bedroom or bathroom with anyone, doing laundry without quarters, and no one telling you to be quiet after 10 p.m. Tedious or not, commuting can still work. Whoever says otherwise doesn't dictate what is and should be your college experience. �fVow 1(av the/ Kitchen/ Chiloquiles Verdes BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER Got kids?

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

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

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

In order to fix those last minute jams, several places and methods can help you. Re-gifting is an inexpensive way to put the useless into use. People gave some presents out of good cheer, but sadly, you could not use in your lifestyle. Instead of letting them gather dust in storage, simply wrap the items up for ones you know may need them. It is a green solution where you save time, money, space and probably some trees along the way. On the subject of saving money, thrift stores are also cheap solutions for gifts. A donated necklace or fishing rod might be what you have been looking for. The Goodwill in San Diego, there are 15 locations to purchase and donate items. Several other non-profit groups have their own thrift stores in the area. Not only can you find gifts, but also you help some of the unfortunate residents in the county. When it is a challenge to find an exact present for someone, buying a gift card is an easy option. It allows the receiver to buy what they want with the money that is in the card within the designated store. Many stores, including some grocery and online ones provide gift cards for shoppers. Places like Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons and Wal-Mart carry a wide variety of gift cards. Just stop by to check out the choices. If you do not have time to buy a gift card, checks and cash are good backups. It is might be better just to let gift recipients choose what they want. For those who will be hosting parties and/or fixing up the place for the holiday, affordable decorations are available. Dollar Tree, a money-saving branch of stores, has 12 locations within a 25-mile radius of San Marcos where most of the stock is only a dollar each. They also deliver bulk orders f rom their website to those 12 locations, if requested. You can use any of the given options not only work for the holiday seasons, but also for any celebration like birthdays, anniversaries, parties and other festivities. �DROPPING THIS WEEK B Y M ILA P A N T O V I C H P RIDE S TAFF W RITER "Inception" (PG13) Christopher Nolan's borderline genius film that delves into the way a human mind functions while deep in sleep is finally released on DVD and Blu-ray today. The film follows a group of dream extractors, led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), as they take on a life-altering heist that mvolves planting an idea in someone's mind. Offered his only chance of redemption, Cobb risks his own sanity and grasp on reality to succeed in pulling off the perfect inception. Nolan artfully skews reality with the unconscious landscape, causing you to question everything that you think you know. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, and Michael Cain. "Shrek Forever After" (PG) Shrek is back in the fourth, and final, film of the Shrek franchise. Bored with domestic life, Shrek (Mike Myers) longs for the days when he was a feared ogre. After he is coerced into signing a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, Shrek is thrown into an alternate reality where Rumpelstiltskin is King, ogres are hunted, Far Far Away is a shell of what it once was, and where he had never met Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Eddie Murphy), or Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). "Shrek Forever After" fails to match the comedic gold of the first two Shrek films but it succeeds in surpassing the third, continuing to show an evolution in Shrek's character. While funny, "Shrek Forever After" relies a little too heavily on pop culture references and songs for all of the comedic relief. New to the franchise are actors such as John Hamm and Jane Lynch. "Boy Meets World: The Complete Fourth Season" (NR) Want to relive your childhood? The fourth season of "Boy Meets World" is the perfect answer to the nostalgia you may be feeling now that finals creeping closer. The show follows Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and the life lessons he learns while growing from a young boy to a grown adult, orchestrating college life and marriage. With his best friend, Shawn (Rider Strong), his older brother Eric (Will Friedle), his childhood sweetheart and future wife, Topanga (Danielle Fishel), and his mentor, Mr. Feeney (William Daniels), Cory slowly learns how to be an adult without losing the playful innocence of childhood.

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

An article featured in NYdailynews.com declared that Four Loko, another caffeinated, alcoholic drink, allegedly caused the death of a 21-year-old fe- male who drove her car into a telephone pole in Maryland.

"As the creator of this category of products, United Brands has always taken pride in the high quality of our products, and we will continue to lead in the development of JOOSE products." The FDA requires that these manufacturers amend their products, or the FDA will take appropriate action to "ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace." Changes for some companies have already begun while others, such as JOOSE, are still in the works. Phusion Projects, the makers of Four Loko, announced on Nov. 16 the intent to remove caffeine from its drinks.

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

Without proper care, convenient things become a hassle. Mainly, save the credit card as a last resort. Only use it if you know you have the money to pay off the balance. Do read and understand all the fine print. Some cards have hidden charges glow on us daily, and the cloudless open sky barrages us with very cold air (particularly if you arrive at campus early or leave later at night). Meteorologists predict sunny skies for the beginning of the week, but those skies will be cloudless and cold with highs within the 60s. Most days during winter, I still see people going about their day in shorts, flip-flops and t-shirts. To each his own, I suppose, but there are solutions to preparing for the multi-temperature-filled days ahead. As the so-called San Diego County "winter" looms in the distance, it is safe to say that layering is the best method to prepare for the weather. If you are not up for relying on just the sun to warm you, arrive at school bundled up (especially recommended to those early risers), then layer down as the day wears on. Now along with books, you can lug around that large coat that hid in the back of your closet for the past three hot seasons. For being someone who has never experienced snow, but can barely dress right for this weather, I am glad that it does not occur here. One can only imagine the unprepared mayhem that would bring. Many say that the four seasons do not exist in southern California. I really cannot disagree with that statement. Often, it feels as though the weather here is either hot or cold. The hot days usually seem to dominate the cold, and it would not be surprising to find flip-flops and sunny day beach shirts in the wardrobes of San Diegans. Some days we receive a much needed, sympathy-driven cold spell, with strong winds and the occasional random rain clouds (that always seems to follow you wherever you go). What residents of Southern California are used to, but are never quite prepared for, are the unpredictable weather patterns. Southern California is in for a La Niña this winter. Be prepared for dry weather, according to KPBS. org. Due to the coming dry climates, this upcoming winter season should experience little to no rain, which is certainly a relief from the on again off again showers that tend to hit students during the rush hour drive home. These dry spells stir trouble following winter though, with fire as the main adversary of the south.

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

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

The talk covered his life, his background, his experience being on television, and how he reached his current level of success. At first, he was very unsure of his life path. "I never knew what I wanted to do," Zien said. As a result, he followed in the footsteps of his older brother, picked the same major, and went to the same school. After graduating, he found himself working at a job he hated and, For applications and information: he knew he wanted to change careers.

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

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

Azusa Pacific placed 6th. By finishing in the top-30 overall (including individuals), CSUSM's top-three runners earned All-American status. Leading the way was Cady Villarreal. An Ail-American last season, the junior had not finished first on the team in any race this season. That changed at Nationals, with Villarreal running 18:18 to place 8th in the field. Second on the team was Kelly Thompson who placed 15th at 18:30. Thompson, a sophomore who led CSUSM to a win at its Conference Championship earlier this month, has proven time and again that she will come through at big meets, and she did so on Saturday. In 2009, Thompson was the wild card that keyed CSUSM's national championship. In 2010, that honor belongs to Carol Schryver, who ran a fantastic 18:33 to finish 17th in the field. While Schryver was expected to be in the team's top-five runners, for hei* to finish third on the team and in the overall top-20 was a huge boost to Coach Scott's team. Fourth was reliable Jessica Sandoval, who has been the team's most consistent runner throughout the season. Sandoval finished 19th at 18:36. Finally, newcomer Suzanne Cornwall sealed thé victory for the Cougars. Coming to CSUSM all the way from Maryland, Cornwell took 29th in the field, and when she crossed the finish line at 18:47, the team victory was secured. Also competing for the Cougars were Jen Albright (79th; 19:26) and Chelsey Cortez (84th; 19:29). "In professional sports, the hardest thing to do is repeat. The next hardest thing is to be ranked first and win," commented Coach Scott. ' The girls overcame a lot, and lived up to all the expectations. I can't be prouder of them."

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

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

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

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

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

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

LOTER stands f or Language Other Than English Requirement and it is necessary f or graduation. CSUSM wants its students to be "prepared f or the demands of a diverse and globalizing world. So every student must demonstrate a proficiency in a language other than English." What does this mean though? What determines proficiency?

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

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

The price of these apps ranges f rom f ree to a round$10. Although most professors w on't allow the use of phones in class, these apps can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change and email a text document when a laptop has been left at home.

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

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

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

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

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

The first single off the album is titled "Getting Old," but it does not stay true to its name.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

("This Land is Your Land," Bruce Springsteen) Found on Live 1975-1985, the Boss's-rendition of Woody Guthrie's American classic features Springsteen in fine form, making a nice little tune ooze with emotion. Also in vintage Boss fashion, in this version the audience hears a seemingly spontaneous story to preface the performance. Did you know "This Land is Your Land" was written in response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" Woody disliked the song and wrote "This Land" in 1940, in appreciation of the common people. It's a fine song, but would I stick the original in my iPod? Not a chance. But Springsteen's version? I already did. song is "Changes," by Tupac Shakur. It's reminiscent of a time when rapping was more poetic and less iTuiies Top 10Q. Even if your own musical taste doesn't include hip-hop, "Changes" has a way of making people delve deep into the significance of America's mixed culture. It's 2010, and the United States is still fighting issues of racism and eurocentric dominance. We can take a few cues from Tupac and try to make some changes. Whether these issues in his song are personally relatable or not, everyone can understand his message that prejudice exists and needs our attention. Tupac encourages all people to create the changes we want to see. As elections are approaching, you might ask yourself what's the point of voting? We can change tomorrow by having our say today. The time to act is now. College students have a voice worthy of attention. So CSUSM, use that voice, speak up! And as Tupac said, "It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes." Let's make some better and brighter ones. litical outrage by penning sharply intelligent lyrics. While written back in 1988, "Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards" is far from being outdated.

From questions of blowing up the world, to giving money to the poor, "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" gives the listener the opportunity to think about the decisions they would make if they were a major world leader. As the dawn of the 2010 elections is upon us, remember that our votes give us power.

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

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

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

This new installment of the "Call of Duty" game series is a sequel to "Call of Duty: World at War.*' The game will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Wii and PCs. For the collectors within the community, the limited Hardened Edition includes the game in a metallic case with four special co-op maps, an exclusive Xbox Live/PlayStation Network avatar and a medal in a display case. For the die-hard fans, the limited Prestige Edition package includes the Hardened Edition set plus a remote-controlled vehicle that looks similar to the new RC-XD killstreak with its remote. The Prestige Edition is only available for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems. According to the game's official website (www.callofduty. com/blackops),players have more options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games, "Black Ops" offers the choice of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play. Other additions include Theater Mode, wager matches, and new killstreaks. The re-, turn of Treyarch also brings the return of the zombie co-op mode, where two players fight an endless army of zombies.

Whether it is an online multiplayer match or a new chapter of the campaign, "Call of Duty: Black Ops" is a brand-new way to play. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, wwwJcoipen. org, breast cancer does not discriminate by age or ethnicity. All women (and even some men) are susceptible to the disease, and over 200,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. Apart from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women but is also the most successfully treated. Regular mammogram screenings, MRIs, and ¿linical breast exams are imperative to the detection and treatment of breast cancer. The key to success comes with prevention through early detection. ^The earlier the detection of breast cancer, the more treatable the disease becomes.

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

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

Many of the young students were on the playground during the shooting, but only two were injured. Local construction worker Carlos Partida stopped the gunman, Brendan O'Rourke, with his truck. Steven Kane, a co-worker of Partida, helped Partida restrain the gunman until the police arrived. After a mental evaluation, O'Rourke was booked into jail on several charges including two counts of attempted murder and having a firearm in a public school.

In September, the Automated Regional Justice Information System (AJIS) recorded 38 armed robberies, which is a decrease compared to 103 reported in August 2010. Fortunately, no one died at Kelly El- ementary, but it was not the same situation in other school shootings. Since the Columbine shootings in 1993, schools have updated their security staff and systems. Some have local police close by and even have several security guards on campus. School faculty and staff do their best to prepare themselves and their students for all possibilities. Teachers train the students on the appropriate actions during earthquakes, fires, and any other dangerous situations. That's the situation in most elementary and high schools, but what do you do in the independent world of college? For some, it has been years since they last reviewed the steps of a school lock-down. Luckily, California State University San Marcos has several resources for everyone in the campus about awareness and procedures. The campus police offer the Active Shooter Preparedness Presentation. This lecture informs students on how to report a person with a live firearm and find safety. Some GEL classes have the presentation, but for the students outside of the class, they can simply go to the CSUSM website and head over the University Police Video Series page to watch the "Shots Fired Video." If you do see any crimes, simply call 911 or the campus police at (760)750-4567. Especially right now, with the mountain lion warning, UPD is a good number to have programmed into your cellular phone. CSUSM updates the campus alert system once information is given about events. The school also has a program called Cougar Watch where anyone can call the police about suspicious activities. Members of campus police are also available to escort you from anywhere on campus to your vehicle or resident hall, between the hours of dusk and dawn, if you ever feel unsafe. According to the CSUSM University Police mission statement, their job is "to protect our campus community above all else." Even though classes may be hectic, rest assured student and faculty safety is guaranteed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fleet Science Center and San Diego Natural History Museum at 6 p.m. The walk starts at 6:15 p.m. sharp. Participants will walk around the area surrounding Balboa Park. Directly after the Balboa walk, another walk will take place in Little Italy, meeting in front of the Casbah at 8 p.m. and will parade down Kettner Avenue. There is an after party for ages 21 and older starting at 9 p.m. at the Casbah taking place after the Little Italy miniwalk.

Participants must adhere to a set of guidelines in order to participate in the Zombie Walk: You must come dressed as a zombie, no masks allowed, but makeup is strongly encouraged. No cell phones are permitted (since zombies do not use them!), no screaming (zombies grunt and moan), walk in a slow, dead manner, and do not vandalize public and" private property.

Part of CSUSM's second annual homecoming week, Masquerade Ball is a tradition that ASI CAB coordinates to celebrate the end of homecoming. Tiffany Peters Social and Annual Traditions Events Specialist, refers to the ball as an "event, which ASI wants to do to treat CSUSM students." With tickets for 700 CSUSM students and guests, it was a sold out event held at San Diego's House of Blues. The venue was selected to accommodate as many students possible, with the main dance floor located downstairs and the second level hosted a bar section for students 21 and up. From 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., attendees were able to dance the night away, or enjoy free food and drink like yummy mini burger sliders and artichoke dip, all courtesy of House of Blues catering.

This recipe modifies the traditional use of processed corn syrup by substituting a more natural alternative—sweetened brown rice syrup. Its honeycaramel flavor pairs perfectly with the brown sugar, resulting in a less-guilt version of this sticky Halloween staple.

To the pot, add the brown rice syrup, water, brown sugar, and salt, stir- ring consistently over flame. Boil rapidly for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, immediately add popcorn to pot, and coat evenly with mixture. Working quickly, grease your hands with butter and squeeze handfuls of coated popcorn into balls.

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

Giant Baby 2. Darth Vader 3. Ethnicities 4. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress 5. Male Crotch Outfits 6. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Greenman Here's Why: Lady Gaga - Who doesn't want an excuse to wear a blonde wig and no pants? "Avatar's" N a'vi - The film didn't clean out the Academy Awards f or nothing. If you're thinking of going fantastical, there is nothing more supernaturally magical than being an electric blue humanoid from a different dimension. "Jersey Shore" Characters - Dressing up as your favorite Guida/o is probably the best way to pay homage to the show we are all secretly - or not - obsessed with. "Harry Potter" Character - Deep down inside, a lot of us are still waiting f or our letters from Hogwarts. /Shedding our muggle attire f or one night helps us embody our inner witch and wizard. Vampires and "Twilight" Characters - You read the books. You watched the movies. You have the soundtracks. You own a "Team Jacob/Edward" shirt. You are Twilight. "Alice in Wonderland" Characters - Lewis Carroll's story has been retold in so many different ways by so many different people, i t's only fair to have your say in the representation of literature's wildest tea party. Here's Why Not: Giant Baby - because they freak people out. Adults in diapers are very unattractive... and creepy. Darth Vader - Because it's hard being social with a mask on, and to take it off would defeat the purpose of even attempting to be old Darthy. Plus, you risk sounding like a smoker who has just conquered the Cesar Chavez plaza stairs on campus. Not hot. A Black Person, when you are not - There is always someone every year at every party that somehow thinks it is a good idea to dress up as a black person eVen though they are not black. BAD IDEA, even if you do not mean it in an offensive way. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress - She might be popular, but forgetting this outfit will do the rest of the world a favor. Recreating the meat dress outfit Lady Gaga wore to the MTV's 2010 VMAs this year is not only gross, but highly un-hygienic. You might as well wear fresh road kill. The male crotch "outfits" - Whether it's a horse peeking out from a stable saying "petting zoo" or a tossing ring game, it's highly arrogant to think anyone will want to ride that pony after such a crude invitation. Ironically, these costumes are pricey (considering how little fabric is used). Greenman - Famous from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the costume is an awkward green tight spandex unisex body suit that does not show your face. Its body-hugging form shows a little more than people would like to see and makes it hard to eat, drink, and be hit on.

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

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

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

When Sheri Jennum talks about passion, you can feel it. Jennum, the new women's basketball coach, gestures emphatically, explaining how much she loves her well-lit office, how excited she is to be on the CSUSM campus, and why she has been so successful in other positions. "When it comes to [basketball], I am extremely competitive—it's about having passion." When you look at her story, you understand. Jennum has never been anything but a winner. She's a member of the Napa High School hall of fame, once leading Napa High to a Bay Valley Conference championship. At Fullerton College, she was the Most Valuable Player of the Southern California Tournament after an undefeated season. After transferring to Cai Poly Pomona, she lead the 1985 team to an NCAA Division II championship, earning all-tournament team honors. Her coaching history is no different. She enjoyed success at several assistant and head coaching jobs at various levels before leaving the sport in 2000 to become a lawyer. Men's golf finishes 9th in first tournament of fall But the taste for money and security only lasts for so long when you love the game like Jennum. In 2004, she accepted an assistant job at her Community College Alma Mater, Fullerton. A year later she moved on to an assistant job across town from CSUSM at Palomar College, where she became the head coach full-time in 2007. Over the last three years, her teams compiled a record of 74-18, with an astonishing record in the Pacific Coast Conference of 40-2. It is no wonder the administration chose Jennum to lead the Lady Cougars. Jennum said the feeling was mutual. "I've had my eye on the [CSUSM athletic] program for a long time," she said, "and it was exciting when the soccer, softball and baseball teams got started." When it's built, the new CSUSM basketball and volleyball arena will be visible from Jennum's office window. But as she gazes at the spot, she notes that it probably won't be built for "as we understand it at least a year, if not two." When asked about the possibility of the Cougars playing home games in the Dome at Palomar College, Jennum almost seems to have not considered the significance of coaching at her old stomping grounds. My main focus is on day to day use, on practice sites...but if [Palomar] will have us, I 'm more than happy to play anywhere." Once the first season begins in 2011, will the women's team play any games on the same night as the men, as is traditional in established programs? Jennum isn't sure. "It's tough to schedule doubleheaders as an independent. [The Cougars will compete as an NAIA independent . in 2011.] Teams don't want to play you in January or February, because they don't want to play outside their conference. And it's difficult without a home site. But I have been talking with [Men's coach] Jim [Saia] about it, and we'd like to. I know it's exciting for the fans." Jennum mentions her focus on graduation with academic success and community service. She also knows Cougar fans expect winning. There's plenty of pressure, and she'sfinewith it. She recites a quote by tennis legend Billy Jean King: "Pressure is privilege." "I believe that." she said with a nod. "Because when you are under pressure, you've put yourself in a situation where you can win...our first year, we're going for a championship." ' "There's s ome talk about that, about a c ouple other s ites. PHOTOS PROVIDED BY AARONJAFFE PRIDE STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Cougars break scoring drought with 6-0 win over Soka BY CLARISSA HIDALGO BY KYLE TREMBLEY Coach Greg Hutton's Cougar men's golf team finished up play at its first tournament of the fall on Tuesday, shooting a solid round three score of 309 to finish in 9th place at the Firestone Grill Cal Poly Invitational. Competing in afieldwith eight NCAA teams, the Cougars stayed competitive with a three-round total of 921. The tournament was won by the host school's "B" team, who shot 865 to defeat the "A" team by two strokes. Leading the way for the Cougars was Robert Nicanor, who got his season off to a fantastic start. Nicanor shot 74 on Tuesday after rounds of 74 and 77 on Monday, giving him a three-round total of 225, good for 25th place. Not far behind was sophomore Adam Loran, who tied for 31st with a score of 229. He shot rounds of 73, 77, and 79. Kevin Rubyfinishedoff a solid performance in his first tournament as a Cougar, shooting 7580-79 to tie for 38th with a score of 234. One shot back was Marco Gomez, whofinishedtied for 40th after shooting 74-84-77 (235). Rounding out the squad was Devon Jeon, who took 50th at 248 (84-82-82). CSUSM will be back in action on October 2526 at CSU Northridge. CSUSM women's soccer ended their goal-scoring drought today, earning a 6-0 victory over Soka University. The lady Cougars, who had not played a game in two weeks, dominated in the attack taking 30 shots and putting 13 on goal. #16-ranked CSUSM improves to 5-1-5 this season. Soka is currently 2-8-1. The Cougars controlled possession of the game, and maintained a solid back line that did not allow Soka any opportunities. CSUSM played an offensive game, creating numerous chances on net. CSUSM controlled play from the kickoff, but were unable to finish a chance until late in the first half. The first goal of the game came in the 41st minute from Arielle Cohen, who received a pass from Shannon Cox and fired a shot to the back of the net from 25 yards out. But once the secondhalf began, CSUSM opened the floodgates.

The #16-ranked Cougars improve to 6-1-5 on the season. Chapman, a member of NCAA Division HI, drops to 7-4. CSUSM came out absolutely onfireon Saturday, and the team's first 20 minutes was very likely the best stretch of soccer that the home fans have seen this season. The Cougars got to every loose ball, won every 50/50 chance, and played with a tenacity that overwhelmed their opponent. As the team has learned this season though, it's one thing to dominate play, but it takes something else to translate that into goals. Today the Cougars did just that, thanks largely to Johnson. In thE ninth minute, Taylor Schurman, who was among the many Cougars that had a fantastic game, hit a dangerous ball into the box. It ricocheted off the crossbar, and was eventually poked home by Johnson to put CSUSM up 1-0. Not long after, Schurman once again carried the ball down the right flank, hitting another excellent cross into the box. This time it found Johnson cleanly, who crushed a shot into the back of the net to make it 2-0. Johnson wasted little time in making it a hat trick - the first of the season for CSUSM - taking advantage of a Taylor Ziencina cross and punching it home to make it 3-0. That would end the first half scoring, and Chapman came out with renewed motivation in the second half, controlling play for a stretch that result- ed in a goal by Aimee Evans. But CSUSM would regain control and put the contest away late. In the 71st minute, Ziencina and Breanna Brenton combined for a corner kick goal for the second straight game, with Brenton using her height and aerial skills to get a clean header off past the Chapman keeper. And finally, with just 16 seconds left to play, Kelsey Gunion hit a nice through ball that found Arielle Cohen, who •dribbled in one-on-one with the keeper and slid it by for her third goal in two games. Since a two-week mid-season break, CSUSM has now scored 11 goals in its two games. Prior to that, the Cougars had scored 3 goals in their previous 6 matches. The Cougars will be back in action this Wednesday at San Diego Christian. ALL PHOTOS PROVIDED BY AARON JAFFE PRIDE STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Men's soccer returns to action with 2-0 victory over Soka BY KYLE TREMBLEY mmM HHHHHHH Playing theirfirstgame in front of the home crowd in three weeks, Cougar men's soccer looked sharp on both offense and defense in a 2-0 victory over Soka University. CSUSM improves to 6-22 on the season. Soka drops to 7-5. Both teams' records also benefitted from the recent decision of #5-ranked Vanguard University to forfeit its first six games of the season. Playing in front of the loud home crowd on Thursday, the Cougars controlled play from the opening whistle, not allowing a single shot while tallying 28 of their own and putting 12 on net. Kevin Ernst earned the shutout in net for CSUSM, with a huge assist from his midfield and back line, who were stout for all 90 minutes. The Cougars wasted little time shaking off the rust, taking a 1-0 lead in the second minute. Max Blumenshine played a long ball behind the defense, and Warren Ashcroft ran under it and drove a solid strike past the keeper and into the roof of the net. That score would persist through the first half, before CSUSM added the clincher early in the second. In the 60th minute, Jordan Shadeed collected a ball in the attacking zone, and dribbled his way around defenders to the side of the net. Shooting from a sharp angle, Shadeed hit a rocket into the back of the net to put his team up 2-0 and ultimately finish the game. CSUSM will be back in action at San Diego Christian this Wednesday. �C S U S M THEATER PREVIEW: CHELA, A CTOS, A ND A THEATER FEST HEAT U P THE HOLIDAYS O N CAMPUS BY JENNA JAUREGUI DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER The theater department at CSUSM is hard at work preparing for its upcoming productions, anticipating an exciting semester of fresh, original performances. Keeping with CSUSM's celebration of cultural diversity, many of the productions contain a multicultural point of view—exploring the adversity and achievements of Hispanic culture. "Given the mounting anti-immigrant propaganda now being felt by many of Hispanic descent, this is a time to bring theatre of consciousness to the public," Visual and Performing Arts professor Marcos Martinez said of the upcoming shows. •"As the premier educational institution in North County, CSUSM is taking the lead in offering theatre that speaks to issues affecting our community and our region." The two main performances this fall are "Chela," a one-woman show by comedienne/actress Dulce Maria Solis, and "Actos," a collection of satirical one-act plays by renowned director/playwright/ social rights activist Luis Valdez. "Chela" is a biographical performance that tells the poignant true story of a young Mexican woman and the shocking challenges she faces as an immigrant trapped in a loveless marriage, struggling to regain her sexuality. Performed and written by CSUSM theater alumnus and rising actress Dulce Maria Solis, this inspiring production is based on the life of Solis's own mother. Its powerful messages are laced with comedy and sorrow, culminating in a captivating, emotional narrative. "Actos" portrays the identity struggle, psychological trauma, and abuse endured by Mexican-American farmworkers. The production is based on Valdez's experiences with migrant workers when he joined Cesar Chavez in his efforts to educate and organize farmworkers in the 1960s. Shown through a satirical lens, these short sketches use bits of humor to illuminate powerful social and political critique. Known as "the father of Chicano theatre in the United States," Luis Valdez is renowned for his work in Hollywood whose credits include the movies "La Bamba" and "Zoot Suit." Come December, the theater department will host a student festival of plays and per- formances written and acted entirely by CSUSM students. Theater student Tricia Bowen said the plays are "so funny... it's a great chance to support your friends and peers, and see some really entertaining shows." The student festival includes a monologue festival, and a play festival. The p lay festival will feature two one-act plays written by students from last semester's play and screenwriting class— "Just Passing Through" by Matt Chewiwie and "The Overnights" by Samantha Carr—and a capstone project by graduating theater/VPA major Mary Relator, titled "S-t-a-u-n-c-h Women"— a cabaret-style show portraying iconic, fictional, and historical women and the issues they face. For more information about upcoming theater events at CSUSM or for advanced reservations, call (760) 750-4137 or visit http://www.csusm. edu/vpa/art-e vents/index .html. If you are looking for some culture, entertainment, and thoughtprovoking drama, mark your calendars and support your fellow students.

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

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

The choices for the famous difference in production was quite apparent between the two versions, but neither fell short on suspense and overall quality of the show. And for those familiar with the Sherlock Holmes anthology, the first episode of the new series was a refreshingly new take on the original story by author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "A Study in Pink." While the specific color may change with each telling (in the original story the color was scarlet), the thematic elements and story structure remain firm.

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

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

So far the Cougars have 24 games scheduled in 2011-12, including eight at home. The eventual goal will be 30 scheduled games, Saia said, as well as to add a few more home games. Given that the new campus arena remains in the planning stages, the athletic department is still working on where to host home games. Possibilities include Palomar College, Mira Costa College, and local high schools, although a college would be preferred since high school courts have slight differences in size and would need to be adjusted. Wherever they play, expect to witness Cougar victories with Saia at the helm.

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

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

The film follows the previously established story line of a group of teenagers ^ ho find out that they're all being terrorized in their dreams by the same man due to actions made by their parents when they were children. With laughable acting, an extreme emphasis given to Kruger's possible pedophilic nature, and Haley trying desperately to rip the same terror from the audience as the irreplaceable original Robert Englund, this film only succeeds in being a weak attempt to recreate afilmthat needs no reproduction. NEW CD RELEASES With the sixth season newly underway, the DVD release of season five of this Emmy-nominated crime-drama series could not come at a better time. Heavily steeped in the symbiotic relationship between forensic anthropology and criminal justice, the series continues to follow the exploits of main characters Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), as well as the excellent supporting cast including Michaela Conlin, T J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, and Tamara Taylor. Featured in this season is the 100th episode (directed by David Boreanaz) that allows the audience to see the beginnings of Booth and Brennan's relationship, the Gravedigger (the villain of season four) on trial, the rekindling of romance between Angela and Hodgins, and finally ending the season with the characters going their separate ways temporarily.

Onfirstlisten, this record seems like a mash up of ten songs thrown onto an album. By the second or third spin through "Flamingo," the songs become infectious melodies that stick in your head. "Crossfire" is thefirstsingle off the record and sounds much like The Killers. The rest of the disk pays homage to Flowers's home town of Las Vegas. The record is a blend of alternative, country, jazz and pop. h ¡¡III I V 4 v WÏ % Jimmy Eat World - "Invented" - David Geffen Company It has been three years since Jimmy Eat* World's smash album, "Chase This Light," dropped. The band has bounced between record labels for many years, but for "Invented," Jimmy Eat World seceded from former major label Interscope Records to create the fresh, emotional rock Jimmy Eat World is known for. The band teamed up with producer Mark Trombino, who has produced three other Jimmy Eat World records, including the infamous "Bleed American." Long time fans will be ecstatic to know Jimmy Eat World has taken "Invented" back to their glory days, recycling the mellow guitar riffs that made "Clarity" a love-at-first-listen album in 1999 and chant-friendly high school anthems of "Bleed American." Their first single, "My Best Theory," is already number twelve on the Billboard rock charts. jmmmmmmmmmmmmmm * il M M P -Uj ( 1 - m ¡ — Ë f l H p H mmmm £ |NlMtll m n » .i Ä ' Ä M l i 1 1-ummIJIÄM 1.YEAH YEAH YEAH - MEW POLITICS 2 , « » Y O U - C E E .

The festival had Alice in Wonderland as a theme. It had five stages and large art installations and sculptures with fire. Several great artists and DJs performed at the festival, such as Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten, ATB, Dada Life and Pretty Lights. This year Insomniac offered free water refills for everyone, keeping attendees hydrated and dancing all day into the warmnight. The audience seemed electric throughout the 11-hour festival. With the many fast beating songs, lights, crazy outfits, carnival rides and dressed up entertainers, it seems like Insomniac could live up to calling it "wonderland." When Steve Angello played Swedish House Mafia's "One," the audience seemed to get into a frenzy, likewise with ATB when they played Ecstasy and managed to blow a speaker. As soon as the sun set, the out- S Œ door tents filled up at the speed of light.

Festival goers had to dip their heads into "the Labyrinth," another one of the outdoor stages, to check out Ferry Corsten, ATB and Markus Schulz, who were blasting music in a hot, white tent with massive speakers and an euphoric crowd. If the 110-degree weather had made you tired, the lawn next to the pond at the entrance seemed a good place to rest while embracing the magic of the moment, looking at people passing by in their minimal outfits with candy (bracelets) up to their armpits or watching people getting light shows. At the end of the night, confetti was raining down, lasers were pointing everywhere, fireworks blasting somewhere in the warm nighs sky, and the bass pumped loud in the background, it truly seemed like wonderland.

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

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

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

CSUSM Women's soccer plays Biola to 0-0 tie BY KYLE TREMBLEY The goal-scoring drought continued for CSUSM women's soccer on Saturday, as the squad played Biola University to a 0-0 tie in front of the home crowd at Mangrum Field. _ On the twelfth-ranked men's side, for the second straight week the Cougars beat their time from last year by over a minute, finishing eighth with a team time of 2:07:29. Leading the way for the second straight week was Western Nelson, who placed thirtysixth with a time of 25:04. Next on the team was Brett Campfield, who bested his time from last week by a significant margin, running 25:20 to take fifty-sixth. The two-time track andfieldAll-American should continue to make an impact in his first season running crosscountry for the Cougars. Third on the team was Jonathan Alpizar, who placed sixty#13-ranked CSUSM is now 4-1-4 on the season. Biola is 3-2-1. CSUSM has been struggling to replace dynamic freshman forwards Amy Young and Dani Porter, both of whom are injured. The Cougars have scored just two goals in their last five games. However, the squad has posted a respectable 2-1-2 record in that span, thanks largely to a staunch back line that played another excellent game on Saturday.

For the number two-ranked CSUSM women, the Cougars were a couple minutes behind last year's time at this event, though it was the first race of the season for star runner Cady Villarreal. Leading the team was Jessica Sandoval, who posted a nice early-season time of 17:52 to take thirty-fourth place.

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

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

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

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

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

[Me] having to take out a loan has not changed any plans." Rapp feels the same way. She said, "Not in this century! People are broke. I don't think majors have anything to do with taking out a loan. Students depend on loans to live. If that's their only means to pay for education and to survive, then they have to go with it." More than 50 percent of the student population relies on loans to fund their way throughout college. Some of the reasons are their parents make too. much money, as determined by the federal government, or students' parents do not support them at all. These students decide to take on a loan. A clock on iinaid.org ticks the balance on" student loan debt. 850 trillion dollars is the latest estimate. Even so, this does not stop students from taking the loans. " I'd rather be taking out loans for school than not being able to go to school at all. Education is the most important thing anyone can have right now and I 'm not going to let the fear of being in debt affect my choice," Madison said. PHOTO BY • MASSAGEMARKETINGMENTOR. COM The Annual Health Expo BY MAYA LIFTON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Thursday was a good day at Cal State San Marcos as the annual health expo took place in the library plaza. The fair provided free food, massages, contests, and much more. 40 different organizations showed up to this event, each holding individual booths, which offered information on a particular aspect of health. Some of these organizations included North County health services, Children's Physicians medical group, The Clarke, and the Nürsing department. The nursing department had information on the amount of calories a person should be taking in per day. This number is based on your height, weight, and gender. Chelsea Witwer, a nursing student who helped put the booth together, told The Pride a shocking probability. "You don't think about what you're drinking. You can drink over half your calories per day, and people don't know this," said Witwer. People are misinformed about the amount of sugar drinks contain. They tend to misjudge the effect one drink could have on the body and drink to no limit. As a result, this misinformation has led to the obesity problem we face today. Witwer also provided information pertaining to the amount of calories certain drinks have, such as Starbucks coffee and Coca-Cola. "Between Starbucks coffee, Coca-Cola, Budweiser beer, and Snappie Iced Tea, Starbucks has the most calories." Even so, Witwer said there are 10 tablespoons of sugar in a Coca-Cola. A Better Tomorrow, another organization at the expo, is a treatment center that specializes in substance abuse and helps treat addiction. Eric Miller, the intake coordinator, said, "We work with the major insurance companies. We are one of the largest providers of substance abuse treatment centers in California. "Our facilities treat any kind of addiction," Miller said. "We also have an [adolescence] program and work with kids under the age of 18."

If you can still think of an excuse, here are five unbeatable reasons to join a class without delay. 1) It's free! We mentioned it earlier, but this means completely free.

You're already on campus, and no matter where you are on campus, Clarke Field House is a short walk away. 3) It's a fun way to add some newness to your life, whether that means new exercises, new workout buddies, or both. 4) A little exercise will actually make writing papers easier - no joke! British research has shown that mid-day exercise will enhance your mood and make you more productive. 5)The classes are built to suit everybody. "If you're a beginner, you're going to receive the basic instruction to get the basics.

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

Featuring locally grown and often organic produce, farmers' markets are the perfect place to find fresh, healthy choices and support the local agricultural community. The farmers' market experience stimulates every sense—the colorful array of food, the free samples of homegrown goods, and the pleasant conversation with local growers all help you to remember where your food comes from and appreciate its roots. During this late summer season, local markets have an abundance of tomatoes, herbs, and other garden goodies. This week's recipe features ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. According to healthfood-guide .com, tomatoes are high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cancer. Studies have also suggested that tomatoes may help fight aging and degenerative diseases. Fresh, organic produce from the farmers market guarantees that the tomato's nutrient power is" at its peak! What better way to highlight this juicy fruit than a delicious batch of bruschettà? Although the name may sound fancy, bruschettà is one of the simplest, quickest ways to use your farmers' market finds. Enjoy this tasty Italian creation as an appetizer, a side dish, or a hearty snack!

Hastings (Nebraska) falls to 1-4. Despite the short turnaround time, the Cougars for the most part looked sharp, generating numerous scoring chances and Penalty kick downs Cougar women in overtime BY MICHAEL RAWSON In the afternoon game, a controversial call minutes into the first overtime handed the Master's College women the victory over the Lady Cougars, 1-0. Looking sluggish after a successful road trip to Arizona, Cougar men hold Master's College scoreless in tie BY MICHAEL RAWSON The men's soccer team took a big step defensively on Wednesday night, holding #22 The Master's College to a 0-0 draw in double overtime. But they sure could have used Brandon Zuniga. Last year's team MVP and star forward ran out of eligibility after the 2009 season, and Ron Pulvers knows it won't be easy to replace him. "Players like him showing flashes of real quality in the open field. CSUSM out-shot Hastings 22-4 and held a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks. The game's lone goal came late in the first half. A nice buildup resulted in Natalya Erbel feeding a pass to Rachel Schulte, who knocked it across the face of the goal to Lauren Johnson. Johnson expertly controlled the pass, and from the right side of the goal finished with a slicing shot past the keeper into the leftside netting. That would be all the scoring, as the second half saw the Cougars generate plenty more chances but not quite be able to finish. Keeper Kaycee Gunion was rock solid as usual in net, making a pair of saves and consistently making the right decisions. Cougar women's soccer will face a big test this Wednesday at home against Point Loma. Kickoff is at 3 PM. Pulvers' side spent most of the game in the middle of the field. The two teams traded mostly weak chances during regulation. Three minutes into overtime, Master's pushed the ball up toward the Cougar goal. A Mustang player went down near the 18-yard line. The foul looked like it could have been a free kick, but the official pointed to the penalty box. Andie Reyes easily put the chance into the right corner past All-American keeper Kaycee Gunion, who dove left. "For me, in an overtime game like that, you have to be one hundred percent committed to the penalty," said Pulvers. "I thought there were too many questions about whether or it was or not for it to be called, [but] we put ourselves in a bad spot on that particular play." "And whether the penalty was a penalty...that's certainly a questionable situation, but we TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2010 should have never been in that position to begin with, because we were just lazy in recovering defensively," said Pulvers. Amanda Diamond stopped five shots to record the shutout for the Mustangs. Gunion also saved five. The Cougars will play anmomentum and managing just two shots on goal. After a late foul in overtime, Cougar Captain Bradley Seidenglanz had the game's best chance on the ensuing free kick, but sent it sailing inches over the crossbar. Andrew Bussell made two key saves for CSUSM. Master's Defender Brian Gardner nearly put the game away in overtime, but his long attempt from the left side bounced harmlessly off the right post.

Westmont added its second early in the second half, as a corner kick was headed into the lower corner of the net by Anthony Niboli in the 59th minute. CSUSM would respond though, as Sterling Petersen scored following a throw-in in the 79th minute, giving him his first goal as a Cougar. But CSUSM couldn't notch the equalizer, falling by that 2-1 margin. Kevin Ernst made 6 saves in net for the Coguars.

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

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

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

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

"Arts and Lectures is committed to sponsoring a program that speaks to issues that are raised on campus, and the Social and Equity Justice Project is one way of addressing some of the heated issues that were present on our campus just last year."

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

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

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

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

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

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

On May ! , students joined hundreds of their fellow community members for a 24-hour long walkathon on Mangrum Field with the sole aim of raising awareness for cancer related issues. Participants in Relay for Life formed teams that were responsible for seeking donations and keeping at least one member walking the track at all times. The event was just one of many events like it to take place across the nation. The 55 teams that registered for the event comprised a broad spectrum of interests, bringing together CSUSM student organizations, community groups, local businesses, families, and interested individuals from nearby neighborhoods for a single cause. Though all teams were involved in fundraising efforts, members of The Defending Circle distinguished themselves from the rest by raising $11, 320. Soaring past their goal of $2,400, The Defending Photo by Blake Morse Circle says, "Fighting cancer groups across the country have is a team effort.

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

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

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

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

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

Playing on Primm Valley Golf course in Primm, NV, the Cougars are up against some of the best in the NAIA. Along with fellow Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) powerhouses #3 University of British Columbia and #13 University of Victoria, the 11-team grouping also includes #4 Cal Baptist from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) and #5 Concordia UniversityOregon from the Cascade Conference. After one of two rounds, CSUSM is solidly in the mix with a team score of 308. Cal Baptist leads at 294, British Columbia is in second at 301, and Concordia (OR) is in third at 305. Victoria is in f ifth, four shots behind CSUSM at 312. Individually, Ellyse Siu shot a fantastic even-par 72 for the Cougars, and Roxanne Mejia wasn't far behind at +1 (73). Linnel DeVilla shot a 79, and Megan Pechner and Stephanie Cole both shot 84.

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

The Last Airbender James Cameron forced this adaptation of the Cartoon Network show "Avatar" to change it's name. This story about warriors with elemental powers is a departure for the thriller-sawy director M. Night Shyamalan.

August 13th The Expendables The most important part of this final summer action romp is the cast. This film stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, as well as Sylvester Stallone, who wrote and directed it, so it should not be hard to guess this is an all out festival of guns and explosions. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Edgar Wright, director of "Shaun ofthe Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," takes a stab at adapting the "Scott Pilgrim" graphic novel series. This film stars Michael Cera, Chris Evans, and Anna Kendrick, rather then Wright's usual troupe, and the trailers make thisfilmlook like a shcker version of older "Batman" movies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tanning has b een around f or years and will continue to b e a summer activity for many years to come, but b ringing awareness to the e ffects of soaking up those rays is essential to any f uture tanner. Many aim to achieve a healthy glow each summer, but the t ruth is that the skin's reaction to sunlight and producing a bronze tan is the skins own n atural defense mechanism against sun damage. Producing natural Melanin, the dark hue in sun drenched skin, is in e ffort to p rotect the skin f rom Ultra Violet (UV) rays. It i s common knowledge that UV rays are h armful, but the issue is quickly forgotten in favor of the skin tone that is p erfect for summer clothes. Alternatives to U V tanning beds and outdoor t anning are easy, quick and better for your skin. . Exposure to the sun can cause many r isks to our bodies that many people are still unaware of. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services over exposure to the sun can result in premature aging, skin cancer, eye damage, and immune system suppression. Later in life, sunspots and age spots can appear giving skin an uneven tone that o ften worsens with age. Tanning beds have also become a f requent activity because of their accessibility and rapid results, but in tanning beds are also a danger for our skin, and have required certain states to impose an 18 and u p restriction for tanning bed usage. According to MSNBC, recent results f rom a study done by the World Health Organization might be j ust the incentive that the FDA needs to ban tanning beds for those under 18. The risks are very real and because none of them are fast acting, many people disregard them. Skin cancer can be considered the most feared result of tanning. Dr. William James, president of the American Academy of Dermatology Association stated that, " What was formerly considered a disease of older men is ballooning in young women, the very target audience and number one customer of the tanning industry." Even though the risks are great in the most common way of getting that summer glow, don't b e discouraged, there are many other methods that are j ust as convenient without the h armful side effects. Spray on tanning has become more and more popular in the last couple of years and the popularity is widely due to the fact that with this method the perfect tan can be achieved all year long. Tanning Salons are popping up all over San Diego and the results are the same, Image Courtesy of Hoobly.com if not better than laying out for hours. Spray on tans now come in a bottle as well and are easily found in any convenience or beauty store. The options available for achieving the p erfect tan without the risks are p lentiful and therg5§ no reason for anyone to contijjue damaging their skin. C S U S M wins R ecycleMania 2 010 a s expected How our campus keeps up with going green trends BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer CSUSM won the national " Grand C hampion" title in a 10 Week recycling competition*: Recycle M ania, which took place f rom January 17 t o M arch 27 of this year. The title of "Grand Champion" goes to the school with the highest percentage of waste recycled on campus. CSUSM beat out over 600 university competitors f rom the United States, Canada, and as f ar away as Qatar to w in the honor with a 71.82 percent recycle rate. A trophy, for the victory can b e seen at the Big Cat Food C ourt on campus. " Our campus was created with recycling in m ind," said Carl Hanson, Recycle Mania leader and the recycling program coordinator on campus. Hanson mentioned the early developed of our campus, growing u p in the early 90s when the start of environmental issues were j ust becoming a growing concern. "We have evolved a great waste diversion system on this campus, it [recycling] was h ere f rom the beginning a nd soon became a p art of our culture." Students involvement make a d ifference, through raising awareness and other leadership e fforts felt throughout campus. "While students come and go, it is their increasing enthusiasm, especially with the rise of the "Green Revolution," which gives the program its energy. There have also been outstanding individual-student leaders over the years that have made a difference," continued Hanson. Hanson feels that CSUSM has always had an advantage over other campuses for the w inning Recycle Mania because it is the e ffort that our campus makes all year long and not only during the Recycle Mania contest. Recycle Mania 2010 January 17th-March 27th " Our recycling rate numbers are consistently high, so we don't have to really 'gear u p' for the 10 week competition each January." w CSUSM has proven to be a leader in recycling because "going-green" is important to faculty, s taff, and students. The f uture for recycling at CSUSM looks promising and the title helps set our campus as a model for other universities to improve recycling e fforts. Other ideas that our waste management division system team is working on for f uture development includes working with food services to increase recyclable, reusable and compostable products, according to Hanson. The team is also looking into developing s food composting program on campus. As a continuous leader in recycling, it becomes a trademark that our campus Image Courtesy of weekly.blog.gustavus.edu community cares about their environmental impact in our community and each make a conscience e ffort to help our environment.

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

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

By expanding their audience to people outside of the Magee Park Poets, they will be encouraging younger and unknown writers to recognize poets that should have a profound affect on their writing. This would also cause the Magee Park Poets to possibly be exposed to more diverse poetry, allowing them to manipulate their writing to even greater heights because one of the best ways a poet can learn is by studying their peers' poetry. ^ Are you looking to get more involved? Looking for a few e xtra units? Want something to add to your resume?

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

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

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

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

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

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

CSU students and representatives as well as AT&T representatives will travel on a tour bus to underserved communities around the state promoting the road to CSUs. The Tour starts on April 12 and runs through to May 14 visiting middle schools, high schools, community and CSU campus events in nearly every CSU campus service area in the state.

The Tour is attempting to raise more awareness by attempting to bring in legislators, city and state officials, celebrities and others in an attempt to draw more media coverage. "It's a great opportunity to showcase the CSU. We're going to ask local legislators and school boards to come down and be a part of it, see the students we are serving," said Alvarez. The happiest time on earth: h appy hour BY SANDRA CHALMERS Editor-in-Chief A good drink and an appetizing small bite for less than $10 is music to many stu-, dents' ears. There is no argument that happy hour is the best hour, and here in North County even the smallest joints serve up a good variety of drinks and dishes for an affordable price. liappy hour offers the best ofboth worlds, the ability to try new food and drinks withogitfae remorse ofpáying too much for something that disagreed with your taste palate. Rooking to branch out away from the traditional bar and tavern foods, trying a wine bar with more international delights can satisfy an adventurous craving. Vinz Witie Bar in Escondido introduces their "happiest hours" menu with more that 10 different wine selections for less that $6 a glass. Their wine ranges from Argen- tina, South Africa, Italy and even Sonoma. Bottled domestic beer offered at $2 while imports such as New Castle and Heineken go for $3. Good eats at Vinz range from sweet potato Cajun fries for $3 to German Schlyders for $5, every item on the menu stays below $5. A Yelp reviewer gives Vinz a five star rating noting its cute décor and its varied vine selection. Almost a neighbor to Vinz is Tango Restaurant and Lounge. Tango offers happy hour specials six days a week in their lounge area. Their happy hour menu offers 50 percent off bar-drink specials. Available on Tuesdays, $2 tacos, margaritas, and stone draft make Tango an easy way to dress up a potentially boring TUesday night.

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

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

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

MSNBC recently reported on how surfing is not only meditative, but great for the body as well, by presenting the notion that "dedicated surfers accidentally build physiques that health-club acolytes would trade their memberships for." Also appearing in the report was Dr. Mark Renneker, a renowned big-wave rider in San Francisco who recommends surfing to his non-surfing patients who suffer from high blood pressure, repetitive strain injuries, and chemical addictions. Long time suffers are known to refer to surfing's other healing properties, such as expressed in this testimonial of a local surfer, "It [puts] you one with nature, clears your soul of bad vibes, and can make you more humble." For whatever the reason surfing seems appealing, the experience may even create more reasons to be drawn to it, such as the "stoke" of surfing, an indescribable feeling that consumes surfers, causing them to always want more time in the water. A crash course in surfing is best done through instruction, and due west of San Marcos there happen to be two camps that teach children as well as adults for a decent price. Gerry Kantor, surfing since the 60s in the San Diego area, heads Leucadia Surf. His business is very reputable since he requires that all instructors have several water safety certifications, be avid long time surfers, and either be a college graduate or a current college student. The instructors are also thoroughly trained and given specific written guidelines for instruction. Leucadia Surf's set up is on Moonlight Beach, which they boast as having "[some] of the best beginner waves in San Diego." Depending on if the participant wants one on one instruction or group, the cost can range from $60 to $120 for a two-hour session. The lesson also includes the use of a board and wetsuit. Another surf camp located close by is So Cal Surf Lessons, conducted at North Carlsbad State Beach, Frazee. Rusty Friesen, a pro surfer, established this instructional surf business, which follows similar guide- lines as Leucadia Surf, in the summer of 2004. They are a little cheaper, providing lessons in the $55 to $95 range, including a free hour of board rental for students after their lesson. If a beginner would rather take on surfing on their own, they can also rent boards for $8 an hour or $30 for a day, and wetsuiis for $5 an hour or $20 a day from the establishment, So Cal Surf Lessons. The surf shop, Progression Surf, located on the coast highway in Leucadia rents out soft boards at $20 a day, and $40 for a hard board for the day. The only complication may be transporting it to the be&ch. If beginners try to brave this sport on their own, they should acquire a longboard because it will be easier to stand up on, obtain a few helpful tips, and have the ability to swim well. It sounds funny, but the best way to learn to pop up on the board is by practicing on the beach. Put the board on the sand, and then lay on it. Next, place the hands on the board underneath your shoulders as if doing a push up, then push up, and slip the feet separated onto the middle of the board, in a semi-crouched, and sideways stance. < Once the pop-up is perfected the next big feat is to make it out to the waves. The perfect paddling power comes from correct balance on the board, and alternating arms rapidly. Getting through the waves can be chal- the nose of the board digs into lenging, but the more momen- the water. When an agreeable tum obtained in paddling, the wave appears on the horizon, more successful the participant they should orient themselves will be in getting past the break- to be facing the shore, and then ers. Gn a long board, the most paddle until they feel the wave efficient way to pass the waves pushing them before they do is to turtle the board. To turtle the practiced pop-up.

This may seem like a taxing When the wave passes they process, but once that first wave should resume paddling until is caught the pay out is huge. they reach the area right after A beginner can easily become where the waves are breaking, hooked on their first ride, and then sit on the board in making them want to come back order to have better maneuver- and enjoy the beach in their ability for catching waves.

Surfing can for beginners is by riding the cause that new hooked person white wash, which is where the to not only want to have more wave as already broken. This fun at the beach more often, but allows for more stability, and can also help them develop a less pearling, which is when healthy body and mind.

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

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

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

From ASI, page 1 8:33pm, so the mock-tails booth also endorsed the idea of getting a room in the area where drinking was to take place, or taking a cab home. Tuesday, March 23, 2 0 1 0 The competition started in 2001 with just two schools, Ohio University and Miami University, and it now covers over 600^schools, including international participants in Canada and Qatar. The growth of RecycleMania can be further illustrated since such large corporations as Coca Cola now sponsor it. CSUSM also recycles construction materials like metals, tiles and wood as well as green waste and hazardous waste like lamps. The next step for the university is to create a composting program to deal with the food service areas. This extra work will not affect the results of the competition, said Hanson. Many students at the event believed that the purpose of the event, safety while having fun, was great to have right before spring break, but some students thought that the purpose of the event was not being fully repre- sented. Student Akeisa Abercrombie commented about how influential the event was actually on students. "They are giving awareness, it's not enough, but at least they're taking the initiative to help people make smart decisions." The event may not be enough to guarantee that every student will have a safe Spring Break, but it definitely was presented to enough students to make a difference. House of Representatives approves sweeping health care overhaul BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor A year long debate on health care in America has come to an end as House Democrats passed legislation this last weekend to fundamentally overhaul the nation's health care system in the coming decades. President Obama is expected to sign the legislation on Tuesday, marking the end of a drawn out and polarizing public debate that has divided Republicans and Democrats across the country. The overhaul is expected to provide coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans by 2019. The reform legislation is comprised of two separate bills, the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3950). Both bills passed with a vote of 219-212, a narrow victory buoyed by a majority coalition of House Democrats. The House Republicans unanimously opposed the legislation, an indicator of a lasting partisan divide on the issue that has come to dominate the debate. To secure support from wavering Democrats, advocates of the legislation were forced to make some key concessions, abandoning ambitions for a governmentrun insurance program and prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortions. Republicans unanimously opposed the legislation, indicating the partisan nature of the health care overhaul debate. Under the new legislation, Insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny coverage to individuals based on pre-existing conditions and will eventually be barred from charging higher premiums or canceling services for these individuals. The overhaul also also includes requirements for workers to insure their employees and citizens to obtain insurance, instituting steep fines for failures to comply. LastThursdaytheCongressional Budget Office (CBO) placed the cost of the overhaul at $940 billion in the first ten years, with a $138 billion reduction in the deficit during that time. The CBO also projected a potential reduction of the deficit by as much as one half percent of the GDP in the subsequent decade. President Obama Image courtesy of childlifehope.org Solidarity vs. Ignorance: Uniting Against Anti-Indian Assignments at CSUSM commented on the passage of the reforms, saying, "Congress finally declared that America's workers, America's families, and America's small businesses deserve the security of knowing that here in this country, neither illness nor accident should endanger the dreams they've worked a lifetime to achieve." House Minority leader, Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio), expressed his frustration with the bill just before it went to a vote, saying, "In this economy, with this, unemployment, with our desperate for jobs and economic growth, is this really the time to raise taxes, create bureaucracies and, and burden every job creator in our land? The answer is no."

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

Nearest to CSUSM, Mexico is a popular travel destination with cheaper hotel costs than other vacation spots and is known for a high tolerance of underage drinking, great beaches and fun activities. Although a spring break get-a-away to Mexico sounds like the perfect adventure, this popular student vacation spot is also known for dangerous drug activity and caution must be taken when traveling aboard. The U.S State Department, Bureau of Consular Affairs have issued a recent travel alert expressing that a number of locations along the U.S Mexico border are experiencing rapid growth in the rates of robberies, homicides, carjackings and petty of our local theme parks. Students can head to SeaWorld or the Wild Animal Park for a day of fun with friends. The Wild Animal Park offers a butterfly jungle March 27- April 18, this butterfly jungle allows guests to walk through and enjoy a simulated South American rain forest with a variety of butterflies available to see and interact with. Sea World celebrates spring nights with a firework show and special late night sea lion show.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The team of Thomas McDougal, Anthony Harbour, Nicholas Stein, and Nicholas Henderson posted a time of 41.78 seconds. That same team also met the "B" standard in the 4x400-meter relay, winning the race with a time of 3:17.73.

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

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

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

CSUSM hosts first ever San Marcos Round Up Thrive food stamp program BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer Cai State San Marcos is hosting: the inaugural San Marcos Round Up, on March 13 where students will have the opportunity to take ¡part in a 5km race orpin l lkmfrace, according to a press rej/ase by the office of communications. The Carlsbad-based company In Motion Inc. is organizing the event, which is due to start on the Mangrum Track on campus at 8am. Hugo Lecomte is director of Campus Recreation on campus, which is helping co-host the event. Lecomte said, "The running event is going to be one of the best ones because we have a very strong company helping us, a company with a lot of experience. It's a very easy event—if you don't feel like running you can walk it. It's a cheap price for this event, so it might be yourfirstopportunity as a student to participate to a running event."

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

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

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

"Anybody in this country should have a right to talk, or then we can't really say that we live in a free country. I'll be attending and I'll be showing my support." "I totally agree with it.

And us, as people who are about to go into the workforce, to see that, to see that you do have options, and people can make a lot happen if they get together and organize and move forward.." "I think it will bring a lot of awareness to the situation. I'm pretty sure [teachers] aren't allowed to talk about it, or they're not supposed to be giving their opinions [about] the matter. I understand that the teachers have lots of stressful things; they have to do research and maintain the classes that they teach. They have a lot of work to do. I understand that." "I think it's important for the teachers to have their time to have what they need to say and I think it's a good idea that they stream it in class to get everybody else aware, all their students aware of everything, because we are in hard times. So, I think the teachers need to say what they need to say. I probably will go, yes." "Well, honestly, I think it great that they are doing this because I think that the teachers [they] already, like, put so many extra hours into, like, being a professor that aren't paid for.

Taking a closer look at CSUSM's first radio station and the students inside the studio and on the airwaves, Thi Pride got the privilege of having a Q&A with the maker behind CSUSM College Radio. V=The Pride RV= Rosario Vizcaino, President of CSUSM College Radio. P: whose idèa was it to start a college radiò station? RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008 with the help of my classmate Ryan Mcelroy. It initially started as an idea for a class project, which unfortunately was dropped by our professor and a few classmates because it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project at that time." i*It wasn't over for me just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately CSUSM radio station and setup a media that we would be the first students to come up with it." P: How did the project evolve and get developed? RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately went forward with the process of forming a club, which was finalized at the end of November in 2008. With the minimal support we initially had, I had then decided that col1ege r adio w ould happen no matter what. P: How did you start a radio station from scratch? RV: "I acquired the domain name and created a web page for the radio station. I hosted it s treaming service. With the help of Ryan, I made a simple design that would be easy to use and yet it would be robust. We tested it and loved it." "With no expectations of the outcome, we then went over to Student Life and Leadership on campus and made a live demo which generated an immediate positive chain reaction. We had created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it has been granted full status as an organized club on campus as of February of 2010." "Yes we are new and we plan to be here for a long time!" P: What is your m ission statement? RV: "By the s tudents for the students!" P: What type of radio s t a - tion would you consider yourself? RV: "CSUSM College Radio was founded with a purpose in mind and that is to encourage and promote cultural diversity on campus. So send us your request and if you feel you have the courage to talk on the radio email us collegeradio@csusm. info." P: How can students listen in and interact with college radio? RV: "Please go to www. csusm.info and send us your request through our contact page. You can chat with us or simply call us at (760) 6704131." P: What does college radio strive for in the future?

Baseball team hits homerun season for C SUSM BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer. Here at CSUSM, the baseball team is up to bat and gives our small athletic department a big name. The CSUSM baseball team has started out their season with eight wins,fivelosses, and one tie. This season has proved to be difficult, but the cougars have stood strong. "There have been a lot of injuries this season, but the players and team have exceeded my expectations while dealing with a tough schedule," said baseball coach Dennis Pugh. The CSUSM baseball team rested these past two weeks and now is looking forward to an away game against Chapman University on March 5 at 2:00 PM. The following game will be March 6 playing Chapman again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at Escondido High School. "A lot of people don't know about CSUSM's baseball team. We love our fans, but we would love it if even more CSUSM students and fans could make it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior. With the new Softball field built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty. Now, the baseball team awaits their turn for a home field here on campus. Even with their home fields spread out around San Diego at Escondido High School, Poway High School, and Point Loma, the team's season thus far has shown a great amount of success and dedication. "I think our team should do pretty well this season though. Hopefully, we can make it to playoffs and win," continued Julienne. On March 9, the cougars will be playing a double header facing Illinois Tech at 11:00 AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School. The next two days the Cougars play Illinois Tech again on March 10 at 6:00 PM and on March 11 at 6:00 PM located at Escondido High School.

Craziness hits the nation The Crazies hits the nation on Feb 26, starring Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell the movie is about a small town in Iowa that becomes infected by a toxin that turns its residents in to psychopaths. All seems perfectly well for Sheriff David Dunn (Timothy Olyphant) in the town of Ogden Marsh until he is forced to shoot a citizen at a local baseball game. Suddenly the town's residents By Bill Rhein /Senior Staff Writer "BITCH SLAP" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer JJ cial aspect to this type of film is can it create the tension and the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account, there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat. The slow build up of the music and the different use of camera angles create the tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in your mouth' moment. If you are the kind of person that likes movies that make you 'jump out of your seat' then this one is for you, countless scenes can make the viewer leave their chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the way through. However, for me some of the scenes became a little predictable, as it was clear towards the end that the 'jump out of your chair' moment was coming, and as a result I wasn't surprised when it did. I felt that the characters were quite believable for most of the movie; Timothy Olyphant plays his character quite well.

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

His comments made me think. I asked myselfifthe Olympic Games mattered. That made me wonder if the games a celebration ofculture and unity or self-indulgence for the athletically superior. But it did not take long for me to decide the Olympics are important Sure, it is exclusive to men and women with particular talents. That is only a limited view of the sports. It is the kind of distraction people need from international and economic tensions. That is the first need to have the Olympics. Aside from all the competitions, it is a literal representation of the different countries. Each delegate proves that people can come together. 1 see the Olympics as a sign of hope that people can get over their differences on a global stage. Only the best athletes can participate, which might be seen as marginalizing ordinary people, but I do not see this as a bad thing. Watching someone compete and seeing the potential of a person is encouraging. It shows that anyone can test the limits of what is considered impossible. The selected athletes can also serve as a focal point in bringing their own country together. Just as the entire competition brings the world together, every person can identify with delegatesfromtheir country. In America, decisions over healthcare and the economy drive us apart, but I hope that for a few weeks we can rally together to cheer on our teams and individuals in Vancouver. It is a competition, and it would be a nice morale boost to see our Olym- pians succeed. There can only be one winner, but the competition is exhilarating. Hockey and figure skating are prone torivalriesthat add to the fun. In the end, it is just a game and should be used as a springboard for pride, not hate. Lastly, it is an expression ofculture. Since the game is in Canada, most of the focus will be on that country, but watching the camaraderie and passion amongst teammates is also enlightening. Spectators and participants can see the way other people act, thus appreciate differences and find ways that humans have more in common than realized The world needs the Olympics. The games are not about dividing the world; it is about bringing them together and celebrating the triumphs of strength, skill, and will. Image Courtesy of Vancouver2010.com M y s hrink's c olumn Today's column is about a difficult but important topic. According to research done by Duke University, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students. Here at Cal State San Marcos, our comVI f munity has experienced a number of suicides and suicide attempts this year: yes, it happens here. Why, so many of us wonder, are our students turning to such drastic "solutions" to temporary problems'? Why can't they see that their lives are valuable, important, and so much larger than the anguish they are feeling at that moment? Why can't they see how or ^ piirfiii^^ • 'Itos^riai- e d M M , many people truly care about them? At the Counseling Center, we often speak with these students' friends, families, professors, roommates, or RAs. We see the impact of suicide attempts, even when "unsuccessful", on others.

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

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

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

BY MAbLANE DRESSEL Pride Staff Writer Toyota makes a majority of the vehicles seen here on campus because they a re known for being dependable and fuelefficient vehicles that are affordable to maintain, Recently, the trust in these vehicles has been put into question by the enormous amount of Toyota vehicles being recalled. The p urpose of the recall was brought t o the attention of Toyota by a series of accidents, but many Toyota c ustomers have come f orward since the recall announcements to indicate that t hey had complained about unwanted acceleration before t hese accidents took place; Toyota's improper handling of t hese complaints has caused some Toyota owners to realize that not only can ihey not have t rust in their vehicles p erformance, but they also c an't have t rust in the company's ability t o provide quality; service t hat insures t heir safety! A fatal accident involving a Lexus ES 350 took the lives of four people in Santee, where the vehicle speed up to 125mph on the freeway before it crashed past a truck and went air born off an embankment. Accord-M ing to Toyota, the crash was caused by the throttle being wedged down because there is, "...potential for accelerator pedals to become trapped near the floor by out-of-position or inappropriate floor mat installations." Toyota owners who are affected by this fiobr mat recall are instructed to take out the removable driver's mat and to not replace it with any other mat. The Carlsbad Toyota Supervisor, Jana Leopard, said that this recall j ob would require them to have the vehicle for a whole day. The padding underneath the accelerator, under the carpet, will be reduced. They will also shorten the accelerator pedal, and install a f lash in the vehicles computer that causes the f uel line to be shut off when the brake and throttle are being pushed at the same time, so that the brakes are able to prevail over the accelerator. The other recall is to solve the sticky accelerator problem, which will take the dealership a half-day to perform the modifications. For this recall, the customer c an have access t o a rental car, but they must be twenty-one years old. To f ix the problem the dealership will install a reinforcement bar behind the pedal to lessen f riction. Leopard said that concern for this recall is higher involving high mileage vehicles and vehicles in colder climates. Toyota had f irst believed that the unwanted acceleration was only due to the floor mat wedging the accelerator, but with instances such as the one that occurred in Southlake, Texas, the company had to question their analysis. In Southlake, a 2008 Toyota Avalon sped out of control into a pond, and it was determined that faulty floor Image Courtesy of nhtsa.gov mats did not cause the accident because they were found in the trunk. Toyota is making the correct steps to f ix these faults by issuing the largest recall ever, but the question is have they really learned their lesson? Jim Lentz, President of Toyota Sales in the USA makes a statement that implies that the Company wants to minimize the blame. "With respect to unintended acceleration, a rare event for which all automakers have received complaints, the causes can indeed be d ifficult to identify." He boasts about the company, "Confirmed incidents of unintended accelera- tion are a very small fraction of Locations: Carlsbad - 760-438-2000 vehicles on the road, and T oy/ Escondido - 760-746-0601 ota's track record for reliability remains strong " ; They recommend making an appointment. Aloftg with these statements Lentz has released sincere apologies to all those effected List of Vehicles Affected by these recalls, as well as insuring improved quality 2005-2010 Avalon service. He said, "I hope you 2007-2010 Canity will give us a chance to earn 2009-2010 Corolla back your trust," which was mmm 10 m$h¡múzv ¡ addressed to Toyota owners. He may be asking too much, 2004-2010 Prius depending on how greatly this recall has affected a Toyota owner's safety, inconvenienced them, and how much it has diminished their confidence in Toyota* W hat is ailing y ou? S even c old remedies y ou d idn't k now y ou h ad BY AMY SALISBURY Editor-in-Chief We've all seen those signs on campus: "If you're sick, stay home!" Most people would not hesitate at the chance to skip a day of class, but when you are not feeling so bad that all jyou want is to stay in bed, taking a sick day has the potential to be boring. If Me common cold is what ails you, there are a few coldfixesmost everyone has at hdme to fill a day with healing power (or at least something to do). Have some OJ with your breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice not only takes a little time to prepare, but it is afeaone of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence. According to ^biologist Thomas Peel, vitamin C is not only effective infightingcolds, but it helps in the growth and rebuilding of bone and muscle. Stay away from chalky vitamin C wafers, as the U.S. Food and Nutrition board recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than multivitamins, since the latter are synthetic and less easily absorbed. Go lay out. Here in San Diego, tanning in February is certainly not out of the question. Getting some sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your mood in a positive way. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed moods during Fall and Winter, mostly because of a vitamin D deficiency. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin D is great for the body and mind. Listen to mom, have some chicken soup. The old mantra as a standby for cold treatment is more valid than you might think. Soup has much more water in it than other foods, aiding in hydration when your body is trying to fight off a cold virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional ^hicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A; Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist, in case that dry cough is getting tough to handle (lifeclinic. com). Read: chocolate and peanut butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here, but both foods are high in zinc, which has the potential to shorten the duration of a cold. Chocolate candy with high concentrations of cacao is preferred, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database. Organic peanut butter made from oil-roasted peanuts and minimal sweeteners is your best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides nearly half of the RDA of zinc. Calm down with chamomile. Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the eyes. Calm redness in your eyes with the super anti-inflammatory food, chamomile. Make a weak tea, let it cool until it is barely warmer than your skin, and rinse your; face with it. According to | he FDA, chamomile causes allergfc reactions in some individuals, so test the solution on the inside of your wrist first. Take a dip in the spa.

But San Diego Christian would tie it back up with one swing of the bat in the seventh, as Luis Perez hit a three-run homer with no outs to chase Miller from the game. The Cougar bullpen would hold strong, however.

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

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

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

If the bright letters and jovial face& of those in these organizations d oipialready have you curious, maybf moils information will, or at least caul® you t o have more appreciation for these organizations. Greek life has a stereotype, mostly extracted from media influences, which the presidents of these organizations are greatly trying to overcome. The president of Alpha Chi Omega, Karissa Joiner, said, "Leave all judgments and previous ideas of these organizations at the door, because if you don't, you might be missing out on a wonderful experience," an experience that includes discovering and respecting yourself, others, and your school. CSUSM recognizes three sororities, Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, and two f raternities, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Zeta Beta Tau. Alpha Pi Sigma is a Latino based sorority that strives to promote unity, and cultural awareness. One of Zeta Beta Tau's leading principles on their website is integrity, which they outline as "maintaining honesty, exhibiting loyalty, and retaining a sense of self discipline." According to Zac Fullmer, ZBT President, "within two short years, ZBT at Cal-State has grown from 14 guys in a dorm room to 43 strong men. Along that journey we have won; Best New Student Org, All Greek Academic Cup, Three time intramural Football Championships, and made thousands of quality relationships with campus students and faculty." Alpha Xi Delta is a sisterhood that lives by the motto "realize your potential." They want each sister to reach Photo by Ben Roffee their highest potential both as a student, and as a member of society. The sisters strive to achieve this goal by attaining accomplishments such as 3,500 hours of community service, and also by raising f unds to contribute to Autism Speaks. These fraternities and sororities pride themselves on dedicating time to philanthropic e fforts. Alpha Chi Omega raised $4,000 last year from their fundraiser, Mr. Alpha Chi, to contribute to Women's Resource Center in Oceanside. They currently work there with women and children who are victims of domestic violence, because they are a sisterhood devoted to establishing strong women within the community. They are looking for new members that will strengthen their presence on campus. The president, Joiner, believes this will "...create a better representation of our Greek life on campus for the city of San Marcos. That way, we can be more positively involved in our community." i Last year, Sigma Alpha Epsilon started the "Rebuild Louisiana" trip, which included 17 individuals. This year they want to broaden the scope of involvement by including Greeks from other, organization. This f raternity exudes tremendous school pride through their cheer group, "The Blue Crew," attending games, which encourages other students to support their student body. When asked about the advantages of being a member, President Travis Wilson said, "Brotherhood. When you have a group of guys, just working together to make each other better, right there, you j ust have success " Not only are these organizations altruistic towards their school, and community, but they also built life long bonds, and have f un along the way. A student can see the perks f rom getting a positive and valuable experience from school. The individuals in these fraternities, and sororities see these organizations as a vehicle to achieve such an experience, not only in school, but also throughout life. If this new information has intrigued you into exploring one of these organizations, seek more knowledge from their websites or from the upcoming Greek Fair on Feb. 11 during U-hour at the University Plaza. �Features T HE P R I D E Tuesday Feburary 09, 2010 5 It's o netbook!

To park or not to park? Situation has yet to improve BY KATRINA KISTLER Pride Staff Writer Originally, there were three main lots students used: Parking Lot C (ACD lot), Parking Lot E (MARK lot), and Parking Lot N (SCI lot). In Aug. 2008, lot N closed down in preparation for the construction of a new parking structure, which is due to finish in July 2010. With the closure of lot N, students then used the other two main parking lots. This created an immense amount of overcrowding and traffic surrounding lots C and E. Parking and traffic have now become a serious issue on campus that many students deal with on a daily basis. Numerous students drive to campus in order to attend classes at CSUSM, which makes parking a vital aspect to many students' educations. With the increasing student population, traffic around campus is a factor students must consider in order ASK to get to classes on time. Understanding where students drive from and where they park ultimately determines when students arrive. Each student has a method that guarantees a parking spot, getting to campus, and getting to classes on time. Learning and understanding these methods proves to be an important aspect to many students, but there are still many issues. "I live in Temecula and I have to leave my house an hour before I have class," said Justin Prewitt, a student here on campus. "Depending on the time of day, if I leave any earlier or later I can be late for classes. There is one main road students use to get into campus and it causes a lot of traffic. I usually park in the MARK parking lot towards the back, which affects what time I get to class as well." Another student, Billy Barron, said, "I live five minutes away from campus and I leave twenty minutes before my class, if I a concern that will not go away and may even become worse. Another student, Bryan Alt, expressed his opinion about parking on campus. "The traffic around here is ridiculous. Traffic on campus is a frustrating thing most of the time. I wish there was a better planned parking design for CSUSM." With the completion of the parking structure, due to finish in Aug. 2010, most students only hope it will alleviate the parking issues on campus. ^miiii IfVelcòme your new residenflg ev Russo!

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

The team c ame out f iring on all c ylinders, w inning game one 9 -0 and game two 6 -0. CSUSM improves to 4-1-1 on the s eason, w hile Patten drops to 1-5. Game one was dominated by Cougar s tarting pitcher Brett M iller. The t all righty, who shut down #2 Point Loma in h is CSUSM debut a fter t ransferring f rom San Diego State, went the distance. He t ossed seven e ffortless shutout i nnings, s urrendering j ust t hree h its w hile w alking none and s triking out t hree. M iller was e conomical with his pitches, relying on a d efense that rose t o the occasion by not committing an error. "I d idn't feel like I had my b est s tuff when I was w arming up, by a fter I got t hrough t he f irst couple i nnings I settled down and s tarted dealing," said Mrller f ollowing the game. And t he Cougar o ffense, a fter being shut out d uring F riday's loss, responded as well, s tarting with a fourrun f irst i nning. R icardo Moran and Kevin Silvett got t hings s tarted with one out singles, and a Josh Miller double down the l eft f ield l ine scored them b oth. J ohnny. Omahen followed that up with a nearly identi- cal RBI double of his own, and a fter stealing t hird, scored on a Steve H arris i nfield single. R BI's f rom Ryle Parks and Omar M anzanarez would mak$ it 6 -0 in the t hird, and a two out, t wo-run single by Mike Pena made it 8 -0 in t he f ourth. The C ougars' f inal r un came on a base hit by M iller in the f ifth. Not to be outdone, game two s tarter Travis McCracken kept the Patten o ffense scoreless. He lasted f ive i nnings, allowing j ust two h its and two w alks while s triking out f ive. Together, t he C ougars' top two s tarters have now t hrown 25.1 i nnings t his season without allowing a single r un. At the plate, CSUSM once again j umped out t o an early lead, t his t ime 2 -0 in t he f irst. M anzanarez led o ff with a double, and a t wo-run bomb f rom Josh M iller put t he C ougars in t he d river's seat.

Even so, people did it because of one simple fact: it^Jun toie&eive mix tapes. After the idea caught on, it seemed like the same 10 to 12 songs kept appearing on mix tapes, especially ones tailored and intended for the most mix tape-worthy holiday of all, Valentine's Day. Now that iTunes makes mixing and burning CDs so easy, none of you guys have any excuse to hold out on making your girlfriends a mix CD. But all of these mix tape standbys have modern counterparts that need a little mix tape love too. Image courtesy of Lisa Hannigan Take for example Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." I'm just as in love with Lloyd Dobler as any other chick this side of 1983, but this ditty is overplayed. An equally emotive update exists in "Eyes" by Rogue Wave. The idea is the same, but the sound is far more listenerfriendly. Everyone knows "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure. Don't let the rough, streets-of-London exterior that Unkle puts on put you off. "Heaven" is a mellower, slightly industrial track that could easily slide in among other mix tape classics. The 90s had some developing mix tape classics too, including "Kfcs Me" by Sixpence None the Richer. Ditchthe reminders of middle school, and replace them with Lisa Hahnigan's "Keep it All."

For the past 10 weeks, CSUSM has competed with universities from all across the country, including Harvard, Yale, and UC Davis in Recyclemania. This is the first time CSUSM has entered the competition and has a very good chance of winning the recycling rate category this year. The official results will be announced April 15; at the last count CSUSM was winning and about 3.30 percent ahead of second place. Photo by Thomas F.

There's hardly a persuasion of environmental politics that could have ignored the crane-like people-lift or it's papier-mâché globe, dangling like a crudely executed cross between a pinata and a wrecking ball.

RAD instructs women to understand the risk of sexual assault and how to defend themselves against aggressors in the event they are attacked. "The goal of RAD is to teach risk awareness, risk reduction, risk avoidance and risk recognition," said Office Carla Kuamoo, coordinator of the bi-annual class offered at CSUSM in April and October. The 12 hour course is broken up into multiple of days throughout the week and is open to women at Cal State San Marcos and women in the community. "The course offers women great understanding and gives them empowerment," said Kuamoo when asked why women should take this course. "Ninety percent of avoiding an attack is to be aware of your surroundings," she said. Kuamoo said that women who take this course will be able to take care of themselves and will See PROTEST, page 2 See RAD, page 2 Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride Jeremy D.

KuamOo said, "Women are used to being nice and sometimes nice isn't good." The April 4-8 session there were five women in the class. On Friday April 8, the women had a chance to practice all the skills they had learned. All of the women participating wanted to remain anonymous but encouraged other women to participate in the RAD program. "I feel so confidant now. I feel safe walking through a parking lot and if anything does happen I can take action," said one student participant, "women in general have been victimized - once you do the program you will feel so much more powerful." Another student participant said, "I recommend this for all women. I feel more powerful and in control. Anyone who goes through this program will learn so many techniques and it doesn't matter how tall or big you are - you will be able to defend yourself. I'm only 5 foot 2 inches and now I can take down someone who is 6 feet (tall) " "I'm not a victim that someone can take advantage of," said another student participant. All of the women interviewed said that the program not only taught defense skills but created new friendships.

According to their website, "RAD is the only self defense program ever endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA)." Locally, RAD classes are held twice a year at the Clarke Field House and costs $20 a person. The benefit of membership means women can return anytime anywhere RAD classes are held to either refresh their skills or to add their experience to the class. "RAD is the only existing program with a f ree lifetime return and practice policy, honored throughout both the.US and Canada" according to the RAD website. CSUSM Police Sergeant Dan Koehler has been teaching defensive training for police officers for 15 years, but this RAD session is his first time participating in a female only class. "It's f un to watch people come in that don't know each other or they don't think they can do this and then by the end of the class they're socking pretty hard," said Koehler. Kuamoo said that the Cal State San Marcos chapter of RAD is currently looking for sponsors to help lower the cost of the student fee so that more college women can attend. Koehler said that this kind of training is essential for women. He said that the program really needs additional funding because the campus police station paid for the equipment used by the RAD program, but cannot afford to replace or purchase anymore. Koehler said the cost of one bodysuit is $1,200. More information regarding the on campus classes is available at the university police website: http://www.csusm.edu/police/ RADLhtml.

The Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) sponsored and organized the event held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and featured guest speaker Adrian Alvarez, a long time activist and labor organizer. Adrian Alvarez spoke of Cesar Chavez as a person. He spoke of his dignity. "He was dignity! That was his charisma and that was his power," said Alvarez. Chavez is best known as the former leader and founder of the United Farm Workers Union. According to the United Farm Workers website, Chavez worked to improve the living and working conditions of farm workers from the 1960's through the early 1990's by getting migrant workers to organize and demand change. His tactics to induce social change included hunger strikes and non-violent protests like those of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. "Soldiers didn't give women the right to vote, the civil rights movement, affirmative action, migrant rights, or the 40 hour work week. It was the work of radicals like Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Malcolm X and Martin •• Photo by Thomas F. Gorman / The Pride Adrian Alvarez (center) talks bout the life & achievements of Cesar Chavez Luther King Jr.," said Alvarez in speaking about the type of work Chavez did for Chicanos. "This campus does not have a sense of community. This reminds us of the continuing struggle we are in," said MEChA President Irene Gomez. In Alvarez's speech he spoke of community as, "not a place, but as an attitude, a value, and a way of behaving." "To build community we plan to start here a Chavez plaza with social gatherings. We'll have music, poetry, and even guest speakers. If we can't get a culture center we must start one ourselves," said Gomez after Alvarez finished speaking. MEChA has been pushing to have a Chicano studies program and a culture center here on campus. The vigil included personal testaments of admiration towards Chavez. Many held lit candles in his honor while others read quotes from Cesar Chavez out loud. The event was concluded by traditional work songs and chants of inspiration. The songs and chants included, "Viva los chicanos", "Viva el pueblo", "Viva Cesar Chavez", and "VIVA!" Chavez is held in high regard by many students here at CSUSM. Every year MEChA organizes a vigil in his honor. "Cesar Chavez is an inspiration to all people of the United States, n o only because of his nonviolent protest, but because of the determination he has toward his people," said student Agustin Zavala. California honors his birthday on Cesar Chavez Day. Cesar Chavez day is celebrated on March 31or the Monday or Friday nearest that date. Additional information about Cesar Chavez can be found at: http://www.ufw.org/. More information about MEChA can be found at: http://public. c susm.edu/student_orgs/ mecha/. "We're very consistent (over the 10 weeks) while other schools have had very high spikes in their numbers," said Carl Hanson of Facility Services. According to Hanson, the lowest percentage from the 10 weeks during the contest is dropped so anything can happen when the totals are calculated. He feels CSUSM has a pretty good chance of winning. "It doesn't seem likely we'll drop below second," said Hanson. The recycling rate category is one of two categories that schools can win through Recyclemania. The recycling rate is a measure of the percent of recyclables vs. the percent of trash. The other category per capita (or per person) is more focused towards universities with dorms and high populations of students living on campus. CSUSM chose to enter in the recycling rate category because there isn't a large population of students living on campus or a large food area that would produce many recyclables. "The university should be really proud if we win because it reflects everyone," Hanson said, "it will mean that we're the best in the nation." The Recyclemania website states that the main goal of the competition is to increase student awareness of campus recycling and help each participating university make achievements in recycling and waste reduction. CSUSM has a strong recycling program due to the efforts of Facility Services, the Green Team and the campus population. The Green team works, "to raise the awareness of recycling on campus," said Hanson. He said that he believes that when most people leave CSUSM they are recycling more than they were when they arrived. He also remarked that the staff was particularly mindful to recycle. "The staff is good about recycling, it's become part of their culture," said Hanson. * When students choose to recycle they are doing more than helping their school win a competition, they are helping the environment. "I recycle more on campus than I do anywhere else," said communication major Katie Powers, "it's so convenient because they place recycle bins everywhere." "Since CSUSM is such a new school and not really reputable in anything, programs like Recyclemania are good because they give us a chance to be nationally recognized," said Powers. "I think it's (Recyclemania) great for the community of San Marcos," said business major and Bluff clothing owner Joe Collins, "This shows the students have the ability to make change and to make the world a better place." "Reduce, reuse, recycle and close the loop," Collins said. "I didn't even know Recyclemania was going on," said liberal studies major Lauren McPhearson, "I think it's cool that we have a chance to be the best in the nation, even if it's in recycling." One of the things students can do to improve recycling on campus is to recycle the plastic Starbucks cups. The plastic Starbucks cups are very often found in the trash and the cups are recyclable as are the cardboard sleeves that go on the cups.

Students are urged to take advantageof the counseling services available at CSUSM Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) located in the same office as SHS. "Depression and anxiety goes along with advanced eating disorders," said Blattner. Currently there are no programs specific to eating disorders. Any new programs will be advertised on SHS website.

You slide on top, give it a slight turn of the wrist and she just starts pumping. She screams louder than anything you've ever heard. At least that's what happens when I get on Kiley, my Yamaha YZFR6. Spring is in the air and all the motorcycles are coming out of their restless winter dens and sprinting around town. There is a certain aspect of respect when you jump on something that can either give you the best feeling of your life, or death. There is no better way to release all that pent up aggression from endless days at school than taking a nice sunset ride down to the beach. Seventydegree weather and a helmet are your two best friends when you go out for a quickie. Despite all the negative things your mother told you about getting a motorcycle and motorcycle gangs, for the most part everyone I've met has been some of the most caring and understanding people out there. I guess it goes hand and hand when there is only about a handful of motorcyclists in a sea of cars. If you are thinking about partaking in the joyous occasion of motorcycling, there are a few ground rules that you need to get down before you jump on one of these things. First is just get the training, make sure you have the proper licensing to ride. Second, if you are a beginner know your limits and capabilities. There are all types of bikes ranging from small 250cc road bikes to the lOOOcc race bikes. All the bikes are designed for specific purposes and if you want to learn the right way, get a smaller engine bike. Plus if you play your cards right you'll be able to run circles around the guys that had to start on the biggest and baddest thing on the market. Don't forget that there is always time for upgrades! Finally, wear the right gear. There are so many times that people lay their bikes down and get all torn up just because they didn't wear leathers. Helmets are m andatory i n C alifornia and We always say ... how concerned we are about the state of the environment., but A CTIONS speak louder than words.

"A couple of students had suggested this, and we are really excited to let the students share their cultural outfits," said Danielle McMartin of Global Affairs. "There will be 14 student organizations that will be participating in food booths, and information booths, and they will be focusing on how their organization thinks globally," said McMartin.

SIMON For The Pride Already sour for returning from a working spring break, the last thing we need to see is another fee increase. Now, I can understand paying for other people's children, I didn't support it, but I can understand it. A 'pave the dirt lot' fee. A 'chair repair' fee. A 'hire more teachers' fee. Sure, sounds reasonable. 'Pay for students to do here what they can do in their local park or gym.' I'm still trying to breathe evenly. Maybe it isn't about turning another academic institution into a place where people who want to advance the potential of humanity are mixed with kids who dream of getting MILLIONS of dollars to throw a ball around. Maybe we just need to bring in some bleachers to ease our budget woes, hey, San Diego built a stadium and all their problems are drifting away. Breathe; it's just like building a gym or a track... Except we have those already. Now, don't go assuming that I don't enjoy watching physical competition, it's great exercise and lucrative to boot, I mean, so much money, imagine if it went to facilitate education rather than fantasies of small fortunes earned for shit-eating smiles next to shit-tasting stocks, imagine. .. Physical competition is great, but only if the goal is injury or death. Sports are nothing but sad supplements for the good old days when if you wanted to prove you were the bigger man you did it with a piece of metal, not rubber. Before you go calling anyone who doesn't watch ESPN a whiney weakling, look up the differences in earning potential between someone in the NFL and someone in the USMC. Sure, I'm bitter. Jocks get more pussy than me...but so do dykes. And I guarantee neither of those terms offers as much offense as the very idea of you paying more tuition so that a sissy like me can clack wood sticks and balls around a neatly trimmed lawn. All you people who voted for the fee increase, I demand you offer two of your own for afightto the death every semester. Give me my damn money's worth for my priceless education.

BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Cultural absorbtion on campus BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Differentiating between areas is like drinking a non-alcoholic beer; it just gets you no where fast. Whilst spending some time at the University of Colorado, Boulder I realized that it is not just the fact that people are indeed different, but there surroundings incorporate the differences that relinquish the pains of everyday life. While roaming the campus and trying to take in as much as one can in a short period of time, the fascinations of the many were dwindled down to mere scrapings, overwhelmed by the everyday politics that engulf the everyday journey of the mind engrossed in a battle with the body. Despite the task at hand, where everyone tries to fit in and be recognized in their own special ways among a civilization of ever progressing technology; it seems that the different areas of the world are so intrigued with all are iPods and laptops that we can't take a simple break and recollect about the differences in cultures. I understand that every person living their life can simply stroll through and be at odds when the end comes, but while strolling there comes a point when we ask ourselves whether or not life can coexist with other life. Why do we judge in miles and kilometers when the real difference is nothing more than a change in structure and order that eventually combines with one another and relates a more cataclysmic process of eventuality? There are some things that are just left up to science and can no longer be explained by simple logic and an understanding of the human relationship with nature and our ever-progressing complexities. But there are things left that we can work on. We can try and combine our knowledge of science and understanding and relay that knowledge to a sort of togetherness that our modern day times of shunning and cell phone jammed streets has created. Be it just a simple hello or a meaningful conversation with different people from different areas of the world it seems that life and its coexisting relationships would better themselves once experienced in a different point of view. I'm not saying that all cultures jshpuld coexist peacefully and to drop your thoughts and join a national religion or thought process, but to simply broaden those horizons and take the alternate path. Recently I listened to some country music, which in broadening horizons is a relatively small feat to accomplish, but I actually liked some of it. It was just my negligence to acquire such hatred in country when I had never taken part in the actual listening and understanding of the music. If everyone just opened up and looked at things from a different perspective there would be much less fear in other cultures and much more consideration for things we take for granted everyday.

I was completely prepared to hear ludicrous arguments from both Senator Morrow and Luann Wright claiming that students are being indoctrinated by their professors. I was even prepared to hear some sort of explanation as to why students were blatantly called "immature" in the text of the bill. Although, the Senator's gracious willingness to remove the word immature hardly will deduct from the conservative nature of the bill or the insinuation that students are mindless sheep who simply regurgitate information. I for one have definitely honed in on my critical thinking skills since embarking on my college experience. However, what I did not expect from the two speakers whom I had considered wrong, but entitled to a certain amount of respect was two extremely prejudiced references. Among the Senator's list of groups that might be opposed to the bill was "fairies" while Luann used the phrase "colored people" several times. Call me naive for thinking that at the very least they would refrain from publicly spewing such blasphemy to any audience, let alone a large audience of students. Perhaps we should propose a bill that prevents politicians from "indoctrinating."

Aside from these two speakers, a few of the audience members got out of control. While some people exercised free speech through signs and duct taped demonstration of censorship, others felt the need to harass and belittle fellow students and one person went so far as to flip off a professor in the audience. Added to this were shouted words of sexual harassment. If students truly feel they are being wrongly graded or that their viewpoints are being silenced, I would hardly call this an adequate means of communicating it.

It may be arrogant thinking because everyone in the world longs for that ideal. But where's the reality behind this reality show? "American Idol" is simply a genius marketing strategy. Their tagline, "The Search for a Superstar," gives the impression that anyone can make it big, while thousands of wishful thinkers line up to audition. But when does reality kick in? When judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and especially Simon Cowell give their criticism. Hearts are broken or spirits are lifted. Simon is the show; he carries the show; he's the twist. His brutal honestly is worth waiting through the commercials that air everyfiveminutes. Paula says the same thing over and over. Randy's slang is nothing new. As for the contestants, it's stressful, tiring and you couldn't cut the nervousness with a chainsaw. The true winner of the show is the female who became the first person to. voluntarily quit. She made it to Hollywood but missed her son so much, she said, "It's different now, I'm a mother." That was very commendable. After each round, more hopefuls are sent home. In the end, a winner is chosen, a contract is signed and albums are ready to be sold. Sounds easy doesn't it? Let's hope the winner doesn't take the road less traveled yet again (e.g. "From Justin to Kelly"). The best part of the show is the auditions. The worst of the worst beg for a second chance and when denied, they cry or occasionally throw water at Simon. My question is: do they actually think they can sing? They claim their friends and relatives encourage and praise their singing but don't they know it's called "being nice?" You don't need the resumes of the judges to tell the great singers from the people that make you want to stick something s harp i n y our c ars. A t t imes, y o u ors t P h o t o c ue American Idol Season Four's final eight contestants. y of Fox Broadcasting feel sorry for the judges being mith's "I don't want to miss a show, a gimmick, a power point forced to sit through that.

But quite recently, another level has emerged. "American Idol" has been an opportunity for fools to be fools on national TV.

Two. One. Simon says: "Jump in the fucking air!" Okay, so it wasn't Simon, it was lead vocalist, Corey Taylor, of Slipknot. The band played Friday night at Cox Arena at SDSU and though the show did not sell out, you wouldn't be able to tell from the looks of things. The arena was filled with the most loyal maggots of the metal group and when Taylor told the audience to sit on the floor just so that everyone could jump up together, nearly every person obliged. The nine member group (Taylor, percussionist Chris Fehn and Shawn "Clown" Crahan, drummer Joey Jordison, DJ Sid Wilson, bassist Paul Grey, guitarists James Root and Mick Thompson, and sampler/ programmer Craig Jones) put on an energetic show, mainly featuring songs from their latest album, "The Subliminal Verses." Popular songs such as "Duality" had practically the entire audience screaming (well, technically singing) "I push my fingers into my eyes!" But the audience still had a taste for such old favorites as "Spit It Out." Slipknot put on an elaborate show, with various lighting effects, smoke, and video presentations going on two screens on each ^ side of the stage. But t he most spectacular presentation had to do with their percussion instrumentals. This is where Fehn could be spotted banging on a suspended drum set with a baseball bat. Okay, so it wasn't really a drum set. Try empty kegs strapped together. These antics are not to be confused with the talents of Jordison, who had a minutes long drum solo smack dab in the middle of the set. Jordison confidently showed off his skills on a full drum set that was placed on a rotating stage. As he played, the platform directly underneath him turned and even raised in the air. As if • that wasn't enough, when V the platform reached V its maximum height, it H started flipping over, until V Jordison was playing completely sideways. That's when the platform started W rotating again. Wow. Image courtesy of Roadrunner Records Fans suffer " The Massacre" BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer Fifty's followers must be lamenting the fact that this album should have been sold on late night infomercials. Its name couldn't have been chosen more perfectly: it's clearly a massacre. With all the hoopla and trash talking, 50 has still flopped. He is now rich and he hasn't died, yet he refuses to abandon all the violence, which festers throughout damn near his entire album, including the cover. All the high profile producers on this mess failed to carry 50's horrendously dull and immature lyrics that as previously mentioned, promote violence and diss other rappers with much better albums. On the track "How To Rob" he attempts to lyrically bludgeon unmatched contenders Nas and Fat Joe. Big mistake! Fat Joe's Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay.

It wouldn't be surprising if Nas remains humble and doesn't even bother to initiate retaliation. Battling over wax is fine, but 50 should make certain that he backs it up with something other than a collection of mindless and cacophonous crap. Fear factor can put "The Massacre" to use: whoever listens longest wins 25 grand. Twenty tracks are just exhausting.

Being able to teach him the - language and loyalty of the mob, he passes a part of himself to Donnie. ' Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) in "American History X " claims the number three spot. Having his father killed by a minority, he turns to hatred and racism. You'd think with his intelligence, he'd be smart enough not to. But having his own people turn on him in prison in the worst possible way, it broke him. The most dramatic events in his life changes the course of his thinking, as it does for us. Given the ending, you wonder if he'll stay the course or change his thinking yet again. My number two spot is occupied by two characters but the same actor. It is Kevin Spacey for Roger "Verbal" Kint in "The Usual Suspects" and John Doe in "Seven." Both characters are equally manipulative with a master plan so flawless that their egos aren't required to beat all odds. It's ironic to note that Verbal addresses "someone" as the devil and Doe addresses "someone" as God. The best of the best, the number one spot and the greatest villain of all time is none other than Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins). Knowing he has a life sentence, why does he continue to help the police find another serial killer? He is so two-faced that sometimes we don't know which side we are seeing. He is a sophisticated gentleman who loves art and the symphony, but on the other hand, he eats people. And he only eats rude people, isn't that a contradiction? His mind has so many depths that a lifetime wouldn't be long enough to comprehend it. Those are my top five. Obviously for reasons of length, I could only explain five. Also female villains belong in a separate rank. Please email me at chu013@csusm.edu if you have any favorites for follow 3p. Sir mm î 1 — E veryday s tresses t aking y on o n?

CA 9 2078 �A &E THE PRIDE T ry "Fever BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Love and baseball are two of the most perfect things every created. When you combine the two you get a romantic comedy that's perfect for the summer. Ben (Jimmy Fallon) is involved in two relationships: one with his girlfriend Lindsey (Drew Barrymore), and the other with his favorite baseball team the Boston Red Socks. "Fever Pitch" is a movie about what happens when the two most important parts of Ben's life collide. Lindsey has dated all the wrong men. When she meets Ben she thinks her luck is changing. She thinks he's perfect. Then baseball season starts. Lindsey knew Ben was baseball fan, but she has no idea Ben is a Red Socks fanatic. A fan watches baseball; a fanatic lives it. To a Red Socks fanatic, Socks baseball is a passion, not just a sport. As the Red Socks inch closer to a world championship (this is a huge deal because they haven't done it in 86 years, thanks to the curse), Ben finds it very hard to balance time with his team and time with his girlfriend. When Ben and Lindsey's relationship starts to struggle they turn to their friends for help. Both Lindsey and Ben have a great group of friends. Lindsey's friends are trying to figure out what Ben's problem is, because they honestly don't believe any man could be so perfect. Ben's friends contribute to his baseball obsession. They are just as crazy as he is so they encourage him to put baseball first and he fails his Lindsey second. The friends are really a high- to deliver. Last year light in this movie because they are funny. They are brutally when the Red honest and give good advice. Socks were in the We all have friends like these process of winning the World friends. they Drew Barrymore is fantastic in Series filming this film. She's cute, funny, and were makes the perfect girlfriend— this movie, which is toward the end of the film you cool because they used want everything to work out for real baseball players, and her. She was also one of the pro- footage from actual games. This ducers. If you're a fan of hers, is a nice touch and adds an element of reality to the film. she will not disappoint you. Jimmy Fallon is good, but not Johnny Damon, the real life great. He's a little nerdy and awk- star of the Red Socks—and the ward. He was so funny on "Sat- favorite of many female baseball urday Night Live"—why can't he fans—has a lot of cameo's—hair be that funny in the movies? He and all. (What made him think has such potential, but in movies that was a good idea?) The only real flaw with the movie is the ending, it's a little rushed and predictable. Luckily the rest of the film is strong enough you can forgive them for having a weak ending. Red Socks fans will always remember 2004 because after 86 years of broken hearts they finally got a World Championship. This movie is a cute way to document that and maybe let non-baseball fans in on this special history. This is a cute romantic comedy; a chick flick that will appeal to men. Since love and baseball often spark passion between people, this is a winning combination for alove story. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer At the start of this semester, the Civility Campaign was organized and founded on the CSUSM campus. The campaign, led by the Dean of Students Office, promotes the essence of community and the Values needed to reach a strengthened sense of community. This idealistic community is said to be reached through the practice of a set of values and respect. 'The university strives to be a community demonstrating respect for oneself and for others, treatment of others with dignity, and behaviors which promote a physically and psychologically safe, secure and supportive climate enabling | ^ all community members to engage as full and active ] participants where the free flow of ideas are encouraged and affirmed/' the Civility Campaign page on the CSUSM website states. The campaign's committee consists of roughly 15 members comprised of CSUSM faculty, staff and students. The committee lives by a pledge which states, "As a member of the CSUSM community I will conduct myself with care, respect, and empathy awarded to the winners of an opportunity drawing. On the Civility webpage, students are also encouraged to nominate any CSUSM faculty, staff while acknowledging the culture and humanity of others." During U-Hour on the first Tuesday of every month, the Civility Campaign hosts a tshirt day in which free shirts are and students who display civility on campus.

Another form of the Christmas celebration exists in the Catholic tradition. While many Christmas celebrations pay tribute to the birth of Jesus, Catholic celebrations express a form of preparation for the second coming of the Lord. According to the Catholic Education Resource Center, "The Catholic Church has designated the four weeks preceding Christmas as Advent, a time to 'prepare the way of the Lord.'" The Catholic Education Resource Center also lists in great detail many activities of Advent. Each activity including the Advent wreath, the blessing of the tree and the Christ and Mary candles act as a symbol of the faith of the Catholic Church.

Fox also suggests that the celebrator identify his or her indi*vid- ual purpose for celebrating, whether that may be to strengthen family bonding with one another, adjust family to Nature's cycles or to just have fun, as well as many other reasons Fox lists. These different celebrations that take place during this holiday season display diversity in culture that presently exists in American lifestyle. Artificial vs. live Christmas trees What do you prefer? 4 Jessie Gambrell Pride Staff Writer IMB d? A p\ VI tc in Do you prefer the Christmas tree smell and excitement of picking a live tree each year or the consistency and convenience of an artificial Christmas tree? People have different opinions on the matter because it's related to family traditions. "Its easier to have a fake tree. I grew up with a real tree til [sic] my parents got lazy," student Adam Dettelbach said. According to Art Espinoza, "The Christmas Tree Guy," at Home Depot in Oceanside, artificial trees are fairly easy to assemble, last longer than live Christ- mas trees and are energy efficient. Though there are many pros to artificial trees, some people still prefer real ones. "I like real Christmas trees, if they stay alive. I mean sure fake Christmas trees will save you in the long run, but they take up so much space in storage and you have to assemble them," student Chandra Charette said. Artificial Christmas trees do not have the beloved pine smell and tend to be pricey. It's also a hassle to assemble and disassemble the artificial tree each year, let alonefinda place to store it. Still, people have their own traditions when it comes to Christmas trees. According to tree farmer Bill Warren of Mission Pines Christmas Trees in Fallbrook: live Christmas trees are fresh, have that wonderful "Christmas" smell and you get the pleasure of going out and picking your own Christmas tree. There are a few cons in buying a live tree. Since it is a tree, it's flammable, doesn't live long and makes a mess with pine needles. No matter how you feel on whether on the matter, it's up to you. "Christmas is not Christmas without the real Christmas tree," student Tara De Gaetano said. Professor Spotlight Jennifer Lynch Classes: G eneral E ducation O ral C ommunication (GEO).

Every year since 1890, Pasadena (located in the Los Angeles County, 2 hours away from San Marcos) housed traditional floats made entirely out of flowers as well as the "Rose Bowl" game, which consists of the top colle- giate college teams in the U.S. Marching bands, floats and people come from all over the country to partake in this historic event, camping out days ahead of time in Old Town Pasadena, with tents and blankets along the parade trail throughout the streets of the historic city. Guests for the Rose Parade include the mayor of Pasadena and the Grand Marshallr as well as the Rose Princesses and Queen, high school students who have been chosen from a cohort of 12th grade females, who have auditioned to represent the Tournament of Roses as Pasadena's queen. * Beginning bright and early on Jan. 2 at 8 a jn., the 123rd Rose Parade will make its journey throughout Pasadena to present the work of thousands who devote the entire year to the debut of their floats. The Rose Parade is a great way to celebrate the arrival of the New Year by joining those who travel from all over the country to welcome another year of life. However, if you already have plans in celebrating the New Year elsewhere, you can always watch the televised version of the Parade on any network channel, all day long Jan. 2.

No, I won't be finished with finals. No, I won't be going on a tropical vacation. Actually, I'm going to the Ellen DeGeneres Show for her Twelve Days of Giveaways. So far, it's looking way better than a trip to Hawaii. If you think you just show up at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank on the day of the show's taping, you would be wrong. Attending the Ellen show is a process which must be followed to the letter. Those who attend the Twelve Days of Giveaways must be invited by Ellen herself, a treat I received back in April of 2011. My mom—a die-hard Ellen fan—scored tickets to a taping of the Ellen show on April 20 and, of course, invited yours truly. Fortunately, the guest packet mailed prior to the show outlines the dos and don'ts of an Ellen audience member. If you're late, you're out. If you're without ID, you're out. If you're a convicted criminal, you're out (seriously— the Ellen show conducts preshow background checks on its audienôe). Once you find yourself on the Ellen soiundstage, chances are, y ou'll there to stay. Before you go into the studio, you have to walk through what Ellen c au^ne "riff raff' room. This is where the stand-by people who show up the day of the show go if there were no cancellations or open seats in the audience. It is actually Ellen's very beautiful and well appointed gift shop, outfitted with memorabilia and several large HD TVs for remote viewing of the live show. •. The riff raff room leads the audience into the set as you see on TV. If you wear bright colors, you're more likely to get a seat toward the front of the stage as per the direction of thé audience managers. Also, I sure did see a lot of blondes in the front row. Not that I'm insinuating the Ellen show likes blondes better than brunettes or anything. Anyway, once you're seated, fun, hilarious people warm-up the audience pre-show and get you dancing—a lot. I'm talking outof-breath, sweaty, spastic, spontaneous dancing for a half hour before the show even begins. ' " T he^Ellen finally emerges. The crowd screams and cheers with what energy they have remaining as Ellen dances up and down the aisles. Before we knew it, the audience receives a $100 gift card to Rite Aid (score!). Then we got to see Reese Witherspoon talk about her movie "Water for Elephants," Paul Walker discuss something related to his career (all I recall is getting an advanced screening of a cologne commercial he was starring in) and a young Justin Bieber wanna be called Jackson Guthy perform a song that is still stuck in my head: L-O-V-I-N-G. Overall, i t was a pretty entertaining group. i; Throughout the whole show, Ellen kept teasing us with iPad stories. Every single person thought we were going to get an iPad by the end of the show.

The tease seemed endless. Suddenly, she announced that each audience member was getting a guaranteed ticket to one of her Twelve Days of Giveaways shows in December. The audience exploded with applause, and my family and I talked about what would happen at that December taping for months on end. As an experienced Ellen show attendee, I'd like to offer a few tips to consider during your preshow preparation if you are the next lucky winner of Ellen tickets. First, don't wear dark colors. If you must, wear a black sweater and perhaps a bright scarf with it. Second, practice your dance moves, and don't be tempted to use all your energy during the audience warm-up. Keep your movements controlled. Railing around on TV does not translate well. You may think you are dancing "cute," but big, unchoreographed moves, can look alarmingly like a seizure. I would like for Christmas: I draw almost everyday, managing with the pens and pencils that I also use for school.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer In the common Christmas-eelebrating household, the traditions of reciting "The Night Before Christmas" or reading Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" often take place. Rarely, and sadly, does one hear about a tradition of reading Truman Capote's heartwarming short story "A Christmas Memory." Set in Alabama in the 1930s and inspired by his childhood, Capote tells the story of a Christmas he shared with his friend, Miss Sook, an aging woman in her sixties. Capote's portrayal of his seven year-old self called Buddy is sweet, but the real charm is in his relationship with Miss Sook, whom he refers to as "my friend." Despite her age, Miss Sook is very much a child herself. Together, they touch the lives of those around them, including a Mr. Haha Jones (ironically nicknamed this because of his serious disposition). The reader cannot help but feel touched, as well. In the Modern Library edition of "A Christmas Memory," you will also find the short stories "One Christmas" and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" which also feature Capote's Buddy and Miss Sook. "One Christmas" tells of a trip Buddy takes to stay with his father in New Orleans for the holiday and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" tells of Buddy's school bully nemesis being invited to Thanksgiving dinner. While his stories possess a I nerdiest gifts for the holidays child-like charm, Capote counters this with a very dark and personal tone which lies below the surface of the text. In a tragic life and upbringing specifically, we can be grateful that Capote had someone like Miss Sook to impart her love and wisdom upon him, a gift that will surely resonate with the reader.

There is something special about grocery aisles blasting yuletide hits we^all grew up with, This issue's playlist is dedicated to Christmas music that warms our hearts as we prepare for this holiday season. You can't start the holiday season off without listening to "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by the amazing Gayla Peevey. This song is both catchy and cute and was the primary reason I asked for a hippopotamusior Christinas every year. Chris Giancamilli "^^HHj^Hp* Pride Staff Writer ^^^ O ne of the toughest parts of the holiday season is finding just the right gift for that s pecial'someone in our lives. Sometimes, the best gift is the o ne that is absolutely i mpractical a nd serves no real purpose other t han to b ecome a new addition in a nerdy collection of toys a nd g adgets. There a re a few e asy things to k eep in mind w hen c hoosing a g ood g eek gift. First off, g eeks love gifts from their favorite licensed v ideo g ame, TV, film a nd c omic series. Next, g eeks enjoy t echnical toys (robots, mechanisms, e tc.). Finally, g eeks like weird things that you c an't find a t a ny old d epartment store. This holiday season, p ick up something a bit more u nconventional rather than the standard v ideo g ame or D VD b ox set. Here's a few examples to help g et those motors running. One of the best parts of Christmas decorations is realizing you are standingrightunder mistletoe with someone you care about. This brings me to the next song, "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber. Not only is his voice sweet, but so is his heart. All proceeds from his Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe11 wenfto charity. Speaking of sweet voices, Michael Bubie's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from his new holiday album, "Christmas," is a must listen to. His jazz style and velvet voice will make you want to cuddle near afireplacewith your special "someone." Speaking of cuddling, Glee's version of "Baby, it's Cold Outside," a duet between characters Blaine and Kurt is a romantic song that musically captivates us to continue listening as we anticipate the character's future relationship. Another traditional song remake from Glee's second volume Christmas album is "Little Drummer Boy" sung by Artie? a character with a rough, but angelic voice for this year's 1 : C h r i s t m a s episode. One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Believe" by Josh Groban from: "The Polar Express" soundtrack. Groban's amazing voice beautifully captures the Christmas spirit as he reminds uS to believe in the magic that surrounds us every day. v: In conclusion to this holiday playlist is none other than "Santa, Baby" originally recorded by Eartha Kitt, a provocative holidayJaVorite. m il Marshmo llow Shooters ($19.86-$29.99, ThinkGeek.com & Amazon.com) | * Iwk V For the g eek that has everything, marshS j f c j mallow shooters c an b e a q uick a nd c heap W f p gift that p acks plenty of entertainment.

At a raucous meeting in Long Beach on Nov. 16 - where student protestors disrupted the meeting by chanting and waving signs trustees voted 9 to 6 to approve a budget that will raise tuition by $498 per year to $5,970 beginning in fall 2012. CSU tuition has more than doubled since 1999, when it was $2,572 per student. Over the years, tuition hikes covered budget deficits caused by declining state support. The CSU's $2 billion budget for 2012-2013 is smaller than the $2.14 billion budget in 1999, even though there are 72,000 more students attending CSU campuses today, trustees reported. University officials anticipate the latest tuition increase will be the last for the 2012-2013 school year - even though the state may cut the CSU budget by another $100 million if year-end tax rev- • Average undergraduate student basic fee (in dollars) '01 s potted on campus '02 enues come up short. "If they cut another $100 million from the budget, our portion would be $2.5 million," said Cal State San Marcos spokeswoman Margaret Lutz. "We have some ideas on how to keep those cuts from negatively impacting students or instruction." She said this may include shift- cuts, growing class sizes and a wage freeze caused by statewide budget cuts. Don Barrett, CFA chapter president at Cal State San Marcos, said the protest drew a small crowd of students, including a few who joined in. Last week, faculty at the CSU East Bay and Domínguez Hills campuses held a one-day strike, the first in CFA history, Barrett said. "We've never struck before," he said. "In the past, we had to threaten to strike to get the chancellor's office moving and this time we felt we needed to go qn strike. I want to be clear, the strike was not over the lack of a contract but over salary issues that happened over the previous contract. The strike reflected the chancellor's decision to not treat the faculty fairly."

The teachers did a flash mob to the Aretha Franklin song "Think" ("you better think about what you're trying to do to me"), marched .around campus and chanted about their desire for a new contract. The protestors hoped to raise awareness about contract issues between the California State University system and the California Faculty Association, which represents 23,000 teachers and support staff at 23 CSU campuses statewide. The teachers have been working without a contract since June of last year, when the previous three-year agreement expired. The teachers and support staff are upset about university funding " Volume XXXVIII '10 ing some carryover funds from last year and revenue from selfsupporting operations on campus as well as using extra money that accumulated when CSUSM exceeded its fall enrollment goals.

Native American H eritage Month celebrated with new facility Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer CSUSM opened the California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center (CICSC), Nov. 17, in the Social and Behavioral Science Building to facilitate Native American activities on campus and collaborate with California tribes. "There is simply no other place in California like this one," President Karen Haynes said at the opening speech. November is Native American Heritage month and the CICSC is open to all California tribes including the 18 tribes in southern California. It is a meeting place for American Indian Student Association (AISA) and many other outreach and development programs. "With the opening of this center we are creating a brighter future... and creating history once again at Cal State San Marcos," President Haynes continued. The CICSC addresses Native Americans face a unique challenge in attending college as they most often are leaving a reservation for the first time. This is the first center dedicated to Native Americans in the CSU system. There are more than 10 student members of AISA and they aim to "create solidarity among Indian students...and to meet other American Indians," Tommy Devers, a CSUSM Masters of Sociology student and member of the Pauma Indian Tribe said. "Native American peopled dreams are just as important as anybody else's," Chairman James Ramos said, the first Native American to be appointed to the California Board of Education. Dr. Joely Proudfit is the CICSC director and collaborates with local tribes and tribal leaders to run the Native American Advisory A mountain lion was spotted on campus Wednesday night. It was the fourth time in five years that the big cats have been seen on university property. About 10 p.m. Nov. 16, campus police got a call from an emergency kiosk in student Lot F at the south end of campus. When they responded, police spotted the mountain lion, or cougar, heading back up into the hills near Lot F, according to university spokeswoman, Margaret Lutz. Lutz said it was the first time a mountain lion had been seen on campus since October of last year (lions were also spotted several times at the south end of campus in 2007 and 2008) . 'With so much open space in the area, we have a lot of wildlife that comes on campus at nights looking for food. People say they've spotted deer. The moun^ tain lions always seem to show up in the fall months and they usually always hunt alone," Lutz said. Cougars are native to the area and CSUSM's official mascot. The campus is built on Luiseno Indian laud. The university's original mascot was Tukwut, cougar, in Luiseno. Although there's never been a dangerous encounter between a mountain lion and students or faculty, Lutz said the California Department of Fish and Game is advising students to avoid walking alone on campus at night. If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run (because it will trigger the cat's instinct to chase) but stand your ground, wave your arms and make noise to scare it off. If a lion is spotted, call campus police from a kiosk or from a cell phone at 760-750-4567. Council, the only one of its kind in the CSU system. In six months, the CICSC and its partners developed a Luiseno language learning program for the Nintendo DSI. The center has resources including workstations, offices and research capabilities to focus on concerns and issues regarding tribes or Native American students. "I joined to help out the youth and reach out," CSUSM student Tommy Cooper of the San Pasqual tribe said.

Saturday, Nov. 5 At 9 a.m., the Cal State San Marcos men's and women's cross-country teams swept the A.I.I. Cross-Country Conference Championships for the fourth time at their home track. In the men's 8K race, 8th ranked CSUSM had a team total score of 24 points and time of 2:06:48. Cal State San Marcos' Danny Lyon, returned from a mid-season injury to run an excellent time of 24:46, paced the field of 65 runnets. On the women's side, 2nd ranked and reigning two-time NAIA National Champion Cal State San Marcos placed six runners in the top nine finishers and won the 5K with 22 points and team time of 1:29:38. Suzanne Corn well ran 17:27 to win the " AiJ. Championship by 13 seconds. At 7:30 p.m.r in Oceanside, the men's basketball team began its inaugural season with a convincing and resounding win at home over Vanguard University. The score: 86-61. Over 1,200 fans at MiraCosta College cheered on the team and saw guard Tim Steed throw down a thunderous dunk in the first minutes of thè game. Saturday, Nov. 12 At 2 p.m., the day began with CSUSM Volleyball competing at the A.I.I. Conference Tournament in Phoenix, AZ. Having already won their first two matches, the second-seeded Cougars easily blew by Mayville State in straight sets, setting up a championship game rematch with top seed La Sierra. CSUSM Volleyball played again that night at 10 p.m. At 4 p.m., across the country, Cal State San Marcos women's soccer kicked off the A i i . Cham- pionship game. Despite playing in hostile territory, the 13th ranked and top seeded Cougars persevered to take a 1-0 decision with a Kaleigh Dodson goal in the first half. The win earned CSUSM women's soccer its third conference title in four seasons and a trip to the NAIA National Championship Opening Round. " Only thirty minutes later, the CSUSM men's soccer team took its turn on that very same field to play for theirfirst-everA.I.I. Conference Championship.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Poet Clayton Eshleman was featured as the last part of the fall semester's Community and World Literary Series (CWLS) on Thursday. Professor Mark Wallace introduced Eshleman with much praise as having been at the heart of American poetry since the early 1960s. Eshleman has contributed to the literary world through his own poetic production and the trans- lating of poems from poets Cesar Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Henri Michaux. Eshleman took the stage and announced that he would be reading nine poems from his book "Anticline," thefirstpoem a recounting of an experience he and his wife had in Italy. Following the first poem, he shared that he has been translating poetry as long as he has been reading and writing it. Between poems, Eshleman would often share anecdotes and personal trivia which gave the audience a perspective into his nature as a writer. "I write a lot of poems about art or artists," he said, sharing how if he had been turned to the left or right, he would have been a painter. Eshleman's reading of his poetry often felt conversational, especially in the literal sense during his last reading, a dialogue between himself and the artist Max Ernst. His imagery, at times graphic, led to much laughter in F eatures the audience, as well as the occasional audible "Wow!" Even Eshleman laughed through some his own words as he read. During the Questions and Answers portion, topics approached included when Eshleman started writing, his view of surrealism, thoughts on the future of publishing houses in the internet age and the importance and influence of travel. Dr. Wallace, who headed the series, felt that this semester's CWLS was beneficial for students because he brought in writers normal literary exposure. The CWLS will begin again in who are challenging for students, the spring semester. pushing students away from their No Shave November for a c ause P rofessor S potlight Helps raise money for cancer research Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer Ever wondered why men seem to neglect their beards during the winter? Maybe as their way of staying warm or in honor of a tradition called No Shave November. On Oct. 31, dedicated men shaved their beards for the last time to grow out for the duration of November. Most men decide to grow out their facial hair to support prostate cancer awareness month. The goal is to embrace hair and let it grow to unimaginable lengths. Since most cancer patients lose their hair to chemotherapy treatments, non-shavers can donate the money they would normally spend to maintain their hair to cancer research. No Shave November is less expensive than shaving every couple of days and is tax deductible. According to the National Cancer Institute website,. prostate cancer is "cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate, usu- ally occurring in older men." In the United States, there were approximately 240,890 new cases and 33,720 deaths in 2011. There are many organizations funding research to cure prostate cancer, such as "ZERO—The Project to End Prostate Cancer." ZERO is a charity that not only wants to reduce prostate cancer, but end the disease entirely. Their main goal is to lengthen the lives of men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer by providing them with treatment to cure their cancer, manage their illness and have a life that doesn't involve constant treatment to try and end their suffering. This particular organization offers ways to help raise prostate cancer awareness as well as promote early diagnosis by offering free testing. It also gives patrons a chance to support organizations such as "The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge & DASH FOR DAD," a national race series.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Websites such as idosing.org, idoser.com and i-dose.us are selling audio tracks which provide the listener with similar side effects of taking specific drugs. These listening experiences are known as "sonic drugs" and "idosing." According to nbclosangeles. com, "Sonic drugs work through binaural beats ~ the playing of two slightly different tones and frequencies into both ears simultaneously/' Many sites, including i-dose.us, provide online shoppers with the ability to purchase audio tracks appropriately titled to the effects they have on the listener. Some tracks offered on the site include "Deep Sleep" which is said to help wijth sleep-related disorders, "Quit Smoking" which helps the listener to quit smoking and "Stop Alcohol Abuse" which helps the listener treat alcoholism. While some tracks assist in treating disorders and addictions, there are also other websites which offer audio experiences that provide the effects of stimulants, both legal and illegal. Experts are advising caution when approaching these audio tracks . "It's not like you listen to an i-dose for crack cocaine and the next day you're smoking a crack pipe [...] But I do think that if you have an impressionable 13 - 14-year-old kid that does an idose, it may drop their inhibition if they're presented with the real drug to try it," addictions specialist Dr. Gregory Smith said in an interview with Colleen Williams of NBCLA. One website that offers this legal listening experience is i-doser.com. Some of the MP3 tracks sold on the site provide the listener with the effects of anti-depressants, inspiration and confidence. However, some tracks are named after and provide the listener with the effects of illegal substances including marijuana, cocaine and LSD.

Well, that poll was conducted in 1981. Sorry if that mislead you. However, I feel a little mislead by inferred holiday statistics, too. Apparently, 100 percent of Americans begin celebrating Christmas before Halloween. At least, that's what retailers seem to claim. Some stores' Christmas layaway began in October; so of course, the deals begin by then. Of course, your family has a large Christmas list, so you'd better get a head start.

What have I got to be thankful for?" Unlike Sally, it's not hard for me to think about what I 'm thankful for. I'm grateful for my family, my friends, etc. I 'm thankful for the things I have. And the times when I'm not cramming on multiple papers due in the same week, I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to be in college. Being thankful isn't the only thing people do on Thanksgiving though (not to say that we shouldn't be thankful any other day of the year). It is also a time for people take part in nationwide traditions and more personal traditions that transcend generations. -Let's face it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food. Needless to say, food is a big deal - or rather, it becomes a big deal, especially once the holiday season rolls around. Foodconsumer.org weighs some statistics: practically two-thirds of turkey from the U.S. last year originate from just six states (with Minnesota as the winner at 47 million) and 735 million pounds of cranberries were produced in the U.S. in the same year. Food consuming aside, Thanksgiving's traditions differ from household to household, but many remain almost universal in the U.S. If there is a football fan present within the house, that television will be on for the game. If you aren't watching football and you aren't able to attend in person, you're probably watching the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, held in New York City, on NBC or CBS. Some people are just anxious for Christmas tofinallyarrive. Others are just too stuffed to do anything. Thanksgiving has come a long way since the 1600s, and I for one am glad that so many people have made it unique to.their own personal traditions and meanings. It doesn't matter what you do for Thanksgiving or who you do it with. So don't worry if you don't have an actual turkey, if you can't stand football, if you forgot about the parade or if none of these apply to what you do. The heart of the matter is to make memories that will stick for years.to come and to take time to appreciate your life*. You. don't have to think hard to answer Sally Brown's question. There is always something to be thankful for. — ;J|pi CASH for your t extbooks, a t Rebekah Green Pride Staff Writer November makes m e nostalgic, but not just for music of my distant past. These songs may not seem like they belong together a t first listen, but e ach track gives a sense of memory, love, loss a nd hope. A rcade Fire's "Rebellion (ties)" depicts how sleep c an b e a n excuse to get a way from the realities of our lives. It fits well with the themes that I get from their album Funeral - the dramatic a nd often sad switch from childhood to adulthood a nd how the w ay w e see things b ack then seem to twist around completely as w e get older. It's definitely nostalgic a nd emotional but still keeps some of the heaviness u pbeat a nd fun. Feist's " 12 3 4" manages to sound happy a nd almost playful while dealing with issues of time a nd how fickle the heart c an b e w hen it remembers love. "A Thread Cut with a Carving Knife" by Stars tells the stories of four different people in three different situations (romantic, troubling, etc.) a nd shows how no matter w ho you are or w hat y ou've b een through, life is indeed unpredictable a nd as fragile as a thread. Coldplay's "Paradise" sparks a sense of escaping the harshness of reality a nd finding comfort in your own paradise. It definitely makes you feel as though you are being lifted out of your life a nd you a re given four minutes a nd 39 seconds to hide a way in a paradise of your own. The Beatles' "Let It B e" is a n exception on ' this list as a song that c an literally take you b ack to the past to w hen you would hear it on the radio or o n your parents' favorite albums.

Since the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University massacre on April 16,2007, when a single student killed 32 people and injured 25 others, safety regulations for college campuses nationwide have updated their emergency response notification services. Since the massacre, colleges and universities have adopted notification services to alert students in the event of their endangerment. Emergencies continued page 2. Volume XXXVIII the "99 percent" movement has spread to 70 cities worldwide including San Diego, where protestors hold cardboard signs blaming banks and corporations for their nations' financial woes. In San Diego, signs are not being waved in the air and chants 6f "occupy Wall S treet... all day . .. all week" do not echo through the streets. There are only a few dozen protesters gathered in two locations—downtown's San Diego Civic Center Plaza and in Balboa Park. In North County, protestors gathered Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 for marches at the Oceanside Pier. At Cal State San Marcos,.an Occupation Hour took place Oct. 20 in Library Plaza and flyers displayed in the Dome cafeteria say "We are the 99 percent" and "This revolution will not be pri- Emergency vatized." Civic Center Plaza is the central hub of the Occupy San Diego movement. One afternoon last month, about 20 people eating hot dogs and sleeping on blankets were gathered, some speaking into a microphone that America is a "rich are getting richer, poor are getting poorer" society. On Oct. 28, police forced protestors out of the plaza, though some have returned sporadically. Protestors in other cities have demonstrated stronger resistance to police relocation and removal. Among last month's protestors were Phil Lopez and Robert Unger, union faculty members at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, who said that students and teachers fall into the 99 percent.

This women's self-defense program is a four-day course that occurs Nov. 8, 10, 15 and 17 from 4 - 7 p.m. at the University Police Department. It teaches basic physical defense for women to prevent abduction, harassment, assault or rape. "Statistics show that when women resist [assault] they have a higher likelihood of escaping," CSUSM Police Officer Yosaren Panza said. Although CSUSM is comparatively a safe campus, attacks happen.

The U.S. State Department sent a worldwide notice to CSUSM's Risk Management and Safety Office. Risk Management and Safety, RMS, handles hazardous materials, waste management, environmental concerns, safety concerns and Workers compensation. The department distributed the official warning via emergencyemail .org. The United States travel warning alerted students, faculty and staff to the possibility of "antiU.S. actions." The concern of terrorist activity stemmed from an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States. According to an official release from the Department of Justice, two men with ties to Iran were charged with conspiracy to murder a foreign official and at least three more conspiracy charges. The release continued to say one conspirator, Manssor Arbabsiar, was captured Sept. 29 at JFK International Airport in New York after a failed attempt to fly out of the country, The other man. remains at large.

Party harder." T he d ark s ide of e nergy d rinks A ttempting t o b oost a thletic p erformances f alls flat Jessie Gambrell Pride Staff Writer Energy drinks are a source of energy f or most of us students these days, but are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Most energy drinks contain a mixture of caffeine, sugar, taurine, guarana, cola nut and B vitamins. These mixed components can cause heart palpitations, increased heart rate and blood pressure and dehydration. "The moderate dose of caffeine per day is 250mg which is the equivalent to three cups of coffee," Dr. Michelle Barrack, a professor in the Kinesiology department, said. In 1994, Congress enacted the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which enabled any company to be unregulated by the FDA. "What is in the energy drinks is [sic] reacting with your body in a physiological way," Kaitlyn Siewart, a CSUSM alumnus with a Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology, said. Some people use energy drinks as a boost for athletic performance. "If you are an athlete, they probably improve performance in moderate to intense exercise... If you are a regular or average individual, benefits are probably less...this has just as much to do with the fact that most physi- cal activity they [sic] do does not merit energy drinks or supplement use, and that research is sparse in less trained persons...," Dr. Todd Astorino of the Kinesiology Department said. But energy drinks are beneficial to athletic performance. "We don't want to show that caffeine is bad for exercise. Caffeine within the limits of caffeine intake can be productive and safe," Dr. Barrack said. Students felt the same. "I used to drink an energy drink before gym session, but after a while you're left off with stomach cramps and a useless sugar rush," CSUSM student Koresh Dashtizadeh said.

Neighborhoodlnc., a company with the same offerings of coupons and daily deals as well as other features, including job services, is developing with an ultimate "people helping people" mission statement: of the money that comes into the company, a percentage goes back to community schools and charities. According to www.neighborhoodinc.org, "[20-50 percent] of membership fees go back to their local schools." While it is free for the Basic Membership and the Charity & Non-Profit Membership, the annual Deluxe Membership is listed at $249 and the annual Premium Membership is listed at $499 meaning with every Deluxe and Premium Membership, 20 - 50 percent will be given back to schools. When it comes to Community Deals, "Our daily coupon site gives 10 percent of net proceeds back to schools [and] charities, a percentage of our yearly net-profit will be given back to the community." Neighborhoodlnc. also offers job services, a work placement program system headed by a staff of recruiters. Through this service, each placement will be followed up with the "Cash Referral & Charity Bonus Program" which gives back a cash referral to the person who assisted in finding a member's j ob, as well as a bonus towards any non-profit charity. The company also provides users of the site with Local Community Calendar. "[The] community calendar offers free advertising for all non-profit organizations so you can connect and support their e vent" Nick Bandejas, founder of Neighborhoodlnc., left the corporate world to start the company, which grew from a series of developments originating from giving back to charities to giving back to charities and the community. Bandejas decided to develop the company with a socialistic approach. "[Neighborhoodlnc.] is not just a marketing company, it's a neighborhood company. We help people find jobs and save money," Bandejas said. Bandejas went on to say that through offering lower costs to businesses, money is given to schools and charities strengthening the company's other services which leads to more money, creating the first truly "green" economy. "The ultimate goal is for Neighborhoodlnc. to come full circle as a self-generating cycle. [It will] ultimately be a goodwill network through loyalty." �Fast f orward your career Take advantage of multiple start dates, no requirement changes, and convenient block scheduling—ideal for working professionals. .1 4 S 0 W e s t M i s s i o n Road San Marcos, CA 9 3069 We buy books year-round INTRODUCING WEDNESDAY, N OV 9 BETW£EN4-<f>PM 8$ffMMM m l ilpp I RedlandsDegrees.com (800) 862-8291 ^ww.FheQÜADSariMar€ö5»c0rFi ? éQJ5£.27) I I 3Ü5 C a m p u s V iew O ive j S an " Education+ Apple Valley | Rancho Cucamonga | Redlands j Santa Ana | Temecula .

Prior to the CWLS event, Cain and Bryant joined Professor Sandra Doller's creative writing workshop course for an hour-long private panel. Doller assigned students Cain's book "I Go to Some Hollow" and Bryant's book "Unexplained Presence." By taking part in this intimate Q&A panel, the class gained insight into the authors' experiences regarding such topics as authorial research, the publishing process, small-press publishing and personal experiences in workshop settings. Shortly after 7 p.m., Dr. Mark Wallace introduced Bryant as a brave risk-taker in her writing—- her risks both bold and subtle. Bryant told the audience how happy she was to be reading. "It's like a little vacation out of L.A.," she said. After, she read her short story "Under Cover of Darkness" from her book "Unexplained Presence." During her reading of the text, Bryant paused to refer to the inter-textuality of the classic film "The Women" mentioned in the story. She acknowledged her vocal reference as a type of intertextuality. She followed "Under Cover of Darkness" with an excerpt f rom her manuscript called "The Curator." Wallace introduced Cain and her collection of short stories, which touched on issues of sensitivity and loneliness. First, Cain read her short story "Ugly Things." She followed with a reading of "Two-Dimensional War" from her book "I Go to Some Hollow."

They touched on such topics as networking, personal inspiration and their interests in writing in other mediums, including screenplays. Bryant and Cain's readings and presence at the CWLS event defined why these events are held, with Bryant's insight into her work and Cain's voice complimenting her text. "If [students] want to aspire to be published authors, they need to go [to CWLS]," Literature and Writing Studies student Morgan Orr said. These two featured authors precisely revealed the importance of these events- being held at CSUSM: to educate students on the literary community and world with firsthand experiences and interactions with writers. Kyle M. Johnson Amy Salisbury Pride Staff Writer Occupy Wall Street brings to mind three things: protest, politics, and pepper spray. I could have included police brutality in that list, but I couldn't think of a synonym for "brutality" that started with a P. Anyway, Occupy Wall Street is indeed the sticky-sweet topic of choice on every American's lips right now, especially considering the movement's expansion to downtown San Diego. The Civic Center lay empty in the early hours of Oct. 28 after San Diego police took 51 campers into custody for a variety of charges—unsanitary conditions damaging city property, illegal lodging, encroachment and curfew violations—according to the Union Tribune. The journalist writing the Tribune article interviewed many protesters, but only one of them—the event organizer—directly commented on the purpose of the evening's sit-in: they were protesting a plan to spend $200 billion over the next 40 years on transportation projects. Occupy Wall Street's origins have little to do with California building projects. In fact, every "Occupy" incarnation has a different aim. While the majority of its related demonstrations have something to do with American finances (thus the use of the 99 percent versus the one percent idea), there is no collective objective that occupiers can name. I have little faith in a nationwide movement operating under a shared name that can't explain what a successful result of said movement would be. Sure, protesters want less corporate fingers Pride Staff Writer in their pockets, but there is a way protesters could have prevented that in the first place: by having a bit of foresight. A lot of civil unrest is directly related to banks offering loans to people who can't make the payments—quite reflective of the Californian foreclosure disaster a few years ago. It was stupid for banks to offer $500,000 home loans to people making a $30,000 a year salary. It was equally stupid for people making $30,000 a year to take a loan of that size to pay an epically large mortgage. Likewise, it is stupid for students to take out loans to go to college if paying it back is not something feasible within the next couple of years. However, many occupiers cite the difficulty of paying back student loans as one of the many items to protest. If occupiers really want to shake up the system, they need to pull their money out of the banks that have done them wrong. Loans are the lifeblood of banking; without them, the banks will have to find another way to survive. Living outside of your means, as many Americans tend to do, will bite back faster than you can hang up on a collections call. Take this opportunity to fight the one percent with what they love most: your money. At any rate, the irony of Occupy Wall Street exists in the youth of the nation passing along information about sit-ins through Facebook and iPhones. As much as people are protesting the system, they have to realize that their actions keep them comfortably tethered to it. Christmas comes early this year with "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas." The result is a f un Christmas film that also acts as a loyal sequel to its film series. This time around, stoner buddies Harold and Kumar (John Cho and Kal Penh, respectively) are back several years after the incidents from the previous films "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" and "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay." They each live their separate lives, Harold a successful married man and Kumar still the same old Kumar, but depressed over his recent break-up. A mysterious present arrives for Harold at Kumar's apartment which reunites the old friends for a Christmas Eve of outrageous events. This entry in the "Harold & Kumar" series surpasses the second film in entertainment value and humor and comes close to the original. With an abundance of the series' conventional racial stereotyping, drug use and absurd plot development, the film remains consistent to its predecessors. Some of the humor is very tongue-incheek, as Harold is referred to as Sulu (Cho's character in the most recent "Star Trek" film) and Kumar is told from a friend that if anyone asks, he works at the White House (which Penn did in between the second and third films of the series). Neil Patrick Harris's return to the series is something to be enjoyed with his real-life partner David Burtka as a married straight father who is paid to act as Harris's lover in order to widen Harris's appeal. Burtka's cameo, which is even shorter than Harris's, is one of the funniest parts. The 3D presentation of the film may be a more rewarding experience for viewers with the technology manipulated and played up for humorous effect. Also, several references to 3D technology play their part in execution, as well. If you enjoyed the first two "Harold & Kumar" films, y ou're sure to like this one. If zany, over-the-top, offensive comedies aren't your preference, you might want to pass. P hoto c ourtesy o f A llied M edia �Book Review: " Never Let M e G o " by Kazuo Ishiguro Alternate reality novel embraces readers Kyle M. Johnson Tales from the Nerd Sid Joining the cult: Former revisited in cult c lassic Chris Giancamilli Pride Staff Writer It is a shame when g ood movies don't find success with a wide audience. Though some films struggle in mainstream theaters, select few h ave the potential to become what are known as "cult classic" films. These cult classics are often successful in home media sales years after their initial release. It is difficult to narrow the field as there are so many forgotten classics, but here a re my top four cult classic films to b e enjoyed. Pride Staff Writer In Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "Never Let Me Go," readers are invited into the unfamiliar society at Hailsham boarding school. In three parts, the story chronicles the protagonist Kathy's experiences from the point of being a child at the mysterious Hailsham, until her young adult years in the life which she and her fellow students were born into and prepared for as part of their education. It is difficult to tell much of the plot without giving away any details that may spoil elements of the novel. However, Ishiguro's story is exceptionally well-crafted. Through Kathy's narration, Ishiguro speaks about this world he has created very casually and very matter-of-factly as if it is a society readers would already be familiar with. In its telling of an unknown society set in the 1990s, "Never Let Me Go" is a type of modern science-fiction novel. Kathy is accompanied through much of the novel by her friends Tommy and Ruth who all three develop into a love triangle as they grow up. Through their companionship, they set out to uncover the mysteries of the school in their education, lifestyle expectations and mysterious rumors of ways to avoid their predestined duties. However, their curiosity often leads to shocking findings. While elegantly written, the narration might discourage read- The B/g LebowsM ^ The Dude's best friends Walter a nd Donny. As he becomes further entangled in a w eb of deceit, The Dude encounters many absurd a nd strange characters who provide him conflicting sides of the same story. ••••••jl ers due to the readers' unfamiliarity with many of the references made to the world in which the characters inhabit. Be reassured, though, because all uncertainties belonging to the reader, as well as the characters, are answered. By the end of the novel, the world for the students of Hailsham, as well as other boarding schools founded with the same mission statement, will be made known to readers. "Never Let Me Go" is one of the most beautiful, rewarding novels in recent literary history. It offers all elements of a great novel as it touches on such themes as friendship, purpose, love and loyalty. This novel is very deserving—it deserves to be read and readers deserve to have read it. " Once U pon A Time" ABC d r a m a p rimed t o c h a r m a udiences Rebekah Green Pride Staff Writer ABC's new show "Once Upon A Time" premiered Sunday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. This new fantasy series takes the memorable fairy tales and fables of childhood, like Snow White, Pinocchio and more, and transports them to reality. The evil queen threatens Snow White and Prince Charming during their wedding. While visiting the imprisoned Rumplestiltskin, Snow White discovers that a horrible curse will be placed upon her family, and only her daughter Emma, upon her 28 birthday, will be able to stop the queen. On the very day of Emma's birth, the ^^^^^ curse takes hold of the kingdom, and although she is placed safely inside a magic wardrobe, she along with the other characters of the kingdom are inevitably transported to a place devoid of happiness - our world. 28-year-old Emma Swan works as a bail bondsman, and while her demeanor is tough, she carries loneliness within her. But all of that changes when a boy named Henry arrives claiming to be her son and seeks her assistance in taking him back home to Storybrooke, Maine. All the while, he asserts that the stories existing-in his fairy tale book are real and that the citizens of Storybrooke are these same f a i r y tale characters trapped in the-real world with no memory of their magical selves. While Emma remains logically skeptical of his words, Henry's claims prove to have truth. Fans of the film "Enchanted" and Hallmark's miniseries "The 10th Kingdom" are sure to find some aspects that border the familiar but still deliver an interesting take on the fairy tale world. The pilot contained a lot of information, yet it was nothing difficult to follow. Rather, it set up various situations that will keep viewers curious as to what will happen next. There is a reason fairy tales never grow old, and with "Once Upon A Time," the tradition of building upon classic stories is sure to continue thriving. "Once Upon A Time" airs Sunday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Saturday, November 12th Dawn breaks with fourth film installment of "Twilight" saga Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer November marks the beginning of the end of the cultural phenomenon: "Twilight." "Breaking Dawn Part 1" will answer the question w e've all been dying to learn: does Edward turn Bella into a vampire? ' Twilight" has certainly made an impact on our generation, regardless of the f ans' genders, with the addictive story line of a human falling in love with a vampire. The first of the series introduced Bella, an average girl who moved to Forks, Washington to live with her father. She soon fell in love with the youngest member of the local vampire coven named Edward. This love immediately put her life in danger. The sequel, "New Moon," separated Bella and Edward, which put Bella into a deep depression. Upon realizing if she put her life in danger, she could feel Edward with her, she decided to be reckless. When Edward's sister, Alice, had a vision of Bella jumping off of a cliff—apparently committing suicide—Edward decided he could no longer exist without her. It was then h e decided to end his life by exposing himself as a vampire when the Volturi, the largest and most powerful coven of vampires, refused to grant his wish of being destroyed, leaving it up to Bella to prove that she was still alive. The third in the series, titled "Eclipse," brings Bella's number one enemy, Victoria, back to kill her in revenge f or Edward killing Victoria's partner. The last book in the series, "Breaking Dawn," puts Bella in the biggest predicament of her l ife. A fter her wedding, Edward impregnates Bella. Since the child i s half-human, half-vampire, the developmental process f or the baby is extremely fast and if Bella continues with the pregnancy, she will die. This November will bring answers to those who have yet to finish the saga. "Breaking Dawn Part 1" will be in theatres Nov. 18, 2011. .

The petition drive, along with the launch of a student-run antiKoala Facebook page, are in response to the publication of the Koala's fifth CSUSM issue on Sept. 27, which promoted on its front page "homophobia, misogyny (and) pornography." One page led with the line "Women secretly want to be raped," and another featured a pornographic photo with the picture of a Women's Studies student superimposed on a woman in the picture. The petition seeks 1,000 signatures to lobby university officials to control the hate speech in the Koala, restrict its on-campus distribution and eliminate the atmosphere of intimidation and harassment associated with its content and distribution. Kit-Bacon Gressitt, a CSUSM Women's Studies student and freelance reporter, wrote the petition, called "Act Against Hate at Cal State University San Marcos," hosted by change.org. The opening statement of the petition claims that "the lack of action by lishes at San Diego State University and UC San Diego—but the Dean of Students Office did launch a campus Civility Campaign in September. And on Oct. 20, President Karen Haynes issued a statement encouraging students to speak out on Spirit Day against bullying and student marginalization. .

Mother Nature gridlocks northeast pumpkin production Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer An average pumpkin sold in New York City could cost $25 this Halloween—twice the cost of the previous year, according to Associated Press. The price of a pumpkin in the northeastern states could nearly double due to nature's adverse effects that devastated pumpkin crops. According to The Week magazine, the pumpkin shortage in the northeast stemmed from three factors. First, the season got off to a late start due to heavy rain fall in spring and summer; flooding caused late pumpkin planting. Second, a fungus that thrives in wet conditions, phytophthora, infected most of the northeastern crops. Third, Hurricane Irene swept the east coast and destroyed the remaining pumpkin crops or washed them away, leaving many farmers without pumpkins for harvest and income. Other parts of the nation are able to sell at normal prices, including San Diego's local pumpkin patch Bates Nut Farm. According to a Bates Nut Farm employee, since the pumpkins were grown locally at the patch, Bates had not been affected by the pumpkin shortage, so the farm did not raise prices from last year. This excluded the jack-o-lanterns which went up $0.25 from last year. Bates purchased these from a Colorado farm, which had raised its prices to accommodate the shortage. A standardsize pumpkin at Bates cost $6. The "Big Macs," huge pumpkins, ranging from 25 - 115 pounds, started at $0.45 per pound and lowered to $0.30 per pound by the end of October. Bates Nut Farm, a 100 acre community farm in Valley Center established in 1921, hosts local events such as classic car shows, art festivals4 and scarecrow contests. The farm also generates income through the Bates Nut Farm general store that grows, produces and packages items such as dried fruit, fudge, nuts, hot sauces, oils and candies and seasonal decorations and knick-knacks. The Pumpkin Station is a local San Diego pumpkin grower who has four locations that sell pumpkins and have inflatable toys and a corn maze. Two farm locations in Rancho Bernardo and Bonita are where the Pumpkin Station grows a small amount of their pumpkins. "I didn't even know there was a pumpkin shortage this year. The Pumpkin Station has not raised their prices in 5 years," a Pumpkin Station employee said. A soccer ball-sized pumpkin costs $4 or the patch sells larger "bodacious pumpkins." The Home Depot in Vista charges $3.33 for small pumpkins, $4.48 for large and $8.48 for extra large. Last year, they charged $2.99 for the small size. The " Home Depot buys their pumpkins from growers in the U.S. The 2007 Census of Agriculture reported total harvested pumpkins for sale in the U.S. were grown on 92,955 acres of land at 15,088 farms, producing approximately 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkin annually.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer The modern practice of Halloween has stronger ties to historical celebrations of the holiday than you might think. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the name of the holiday comes from the holiday's original name, "All Hallows Eve." As time progressed, the name shortened to become "Halloween." All Hollows Eve was in practice the night before All Saints Day, "a day commemorating all the saints of the church, both known and unknown." The traditions we practice in our modern celebrations of Halloween originated hundreds of years ago. Over time, our practices, which traditionally take place on Oct. 31, have lost a great deal of their original meaning. By going through many of the common aspects and traditions of Halloween, it is evident where modern traditions have come from. According to historian Nicholas Rogers' book "Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night," Halloween is likely to have de veloped from the Celtic tra dition of Samhain» Samhain is a festival which commemorates the end of harvest. This festival, which begins on Oct. 31 and is typically held for several days, is a preparation for the dark seasons to come following the harvest.

"If [CSUSM is] a campus that cares about community, then the voice of that community should be heard," Literature and Writing Graduate student Jeff Schoneman said in an interview. "There should be a safe structure or space created where people can address those ideas [in the Koala] with the people who are actually writing them to see how truly weak the logic behind those assertions is." Sociology master's student Flora Seawood said in an interview that she is shocked to hear of the Koala's content. Seawood described the publication as counterproductive and contrary to the university's purpose.

Do you have your costume yet? If not, don't stress. The Pride has some ideas that are cheap, quick and fun. •Wishing it was summer again? It could be. After all, Halloween is the excuse to outlaw all fashion rules. Take out your favorite swimsuit and splotch some sunscreen on your nose. To up your lifeguard costume, get yourself a whistle and an inflatable inner tube from the Dollar Store. • For a more comedic costume, get your favorite cereal and literally become a "cereal" killer. Flatten out some cereal boxes and tape them to a plain shirt. Think outside the box and get a rubber knife to make your costume more imaginative. •Unleash your inner rocker and take out your Green Day concert shirt from the closet. Put on some dark jeans, tease your hair and put on some intense eyeliner. Dressing up as a rock star is great because you can personalize it your way. If you don't have an intense rock star shirt but have something a little more mellow like a Maroon 5 shirt, become a band's groupie. •Whatever sport you enjoy, take out your favorite team's jersey to show your appreciation. Just because baseball season just ended and basketball* has a two week lockout doesn't mean you have to store your uniform in the closet. This is a simple and easy costume to put together, but you still get to dress up. • If you and your friends don't what to do as a group, dress up as the adorable 101 Dalmatians. All you need is a plain white shirt, black or white shorts, white socks, and white shoes. Get a black sharpie and draw black spots on your white plain shirt and socks. Put your hair up in pigtails and wear a cute necklace as your collar. • Are you a fan of socks and sneakers? Go as an American tacky tourist. Put on a shirt you got from vacation, shorts and dig in your parents' closet for a fanny pack. The best thing about being a tacky tourist is that you caii personalize it. If you are a huge Disney fan, dress as if you are going to Disney World. If you have always wanted to go to Hawaii, put on a tacky Hawaiian shirt. �F eatures California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, October 25,20111 Visit The Pride online at csusmpride.com H appy Hour of the W eek: Three stories of fun at D avina's C abo Grill & Cantina Kristin Melody M O G L is hookin' you up with 1 0 % cash-back at Mr. Taco o n every purchase, every time!

Learning about goblins and monsters that seemed to hide anywhere where light fails to shine. As we got older, the stories got better. Suddenly, these "monsters" were potentially people whom once lived among us. Just an average Joe that kept to himself but secretly kidnapped teenagers and put their bodies in dungeons. Now that •we are technically "grown up," it's silly to still believe in ghost stories, right? But tell me, Cougars: have you ever been on campus alone and felt something eerie creep up your neck? Have you ever been in the library and suddenly a book falls with no explanation of how? What about the first floor? Have you ever made the long walk from the Math Lab to the Writing Center and heard other footsteps or saw someone swiftly walk by, yet no one was around? When I asked students about their "haunted" experiences in Kellogg Library, the looks of skepticism told me that they were sure ghosts weren't "real." And quite frankly, they're right. Ghosts aren't real. They don't have physical bodies, but does that mean they don't exist? Upon much investigation, I found that our very own Kellogg Library has a few regular guests that occupy the building once the doors are locked for the night. The first account I received was from Dr. Geoffrey Gilmore, who has had his own experience on the first floor of the library. Though his haunting was a few years ago, EartOut C«®h Iil had on the first floor. Footsteps, doors opening and closing, certainly it can't all have logical reasonings, right? How far can wind blow through the basement of a building? L also spoke with UPD, and they informed me of more urban legends. Supposedly, a young girl haunts the third floor library, mysteriously playing with toys. The fourth and fifth floor's usual guest is a girl in a white dress with a "slit throat," as some claim, knocking all the books down from the shelves. Was the girl Dr. Gilmore met just a figment of his imagination? What about the footsteps Ms. Dupont hears when the rest of the building is empty?

It makes me wonder what the scare factor had for films in the past that it's just not maintaining today. Ifindfear itself a successful way to instill fear in others. It's frightening to know how easily fear can transcend into reality as any other emotion can. Sometimes it doesn't always have to be in your face, and you don't have to actually see the "bad guy" (whether it be human or not). If you strip away all of the effects, jolting music and excessive gore, maybe the real terror can reveal itself. Whether you're home alone, at a haunted house or enjoying a horror film, once the distractions are gone, raw fear arises. Kyle M. Johnson Amy Salisbury Media Manager Flags Magic Mountain are a few popular choices. The unexpected affects anyone. Even those who claim to be veterans of horror can be spooked in the right place at the right time. The shock factor boils down to two things. The first is that loud boom of music that jolts you out of your seat during a film. It is quite annoying, considering it only gets out of you a moment of fright—only because you weren't expecting it. Second, I associate shock with films riddled with graphic violence and scenarios that seem like they're meant to gross you out rather than scare you. But then again they must be doing something right; the "Saw" franchise gained an average grossing of over $59 million and a total of over $415 million according to boxefficemojo.com (and I admittedly really liked the first film). "Mean Girls" is one of my favorite movies. The entire thing is full of extraordinarily hilarious one-liners, but one sentence within one scene rang truest to me: "Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." Although you could say that's kind of true, Halloween does not constitute an excuse to wear a costume limited to lingerie and animal ears. In fact, originality is not that far away if you know where to look. This year, consider cultural relevance, conversation over controversy and creativity when choosing your costume. For your convenience, here is a list of a few of the most topical costumes for this season's celebrations. Wall Street You'll need a Styrofoam poster board painted like a road. Wait for it. Instead of being part of the 99 percent or even part of the one percent, here's your chance to be even more ironic than the Occupy Wall Street neo-hippie protesters themselves. Execution: paint your poster board like a road, go up to people and hold up the poster in their faces whenever they try to do anything at all. The effect will be especially hilarious if your significant other dresses as money and applauds you. Presidential Candidates You'll need a power suit and a convincing thumbs up. This option is especially easy and offers a lot of versatility for those who don't want to buy a new outfit for the night. Pick your favorite candidate (like Texas governor Rick Perry or career flight attendant Tom Miller) and go to town. Find a good, appropriate prop to enhance the mockery. Steve Jobs You'll need a black turtleneck, blue jeans, glasses and a winner's smile. What better way to honor the world's leading technology innovator than to actually be him for a night? Don't even say "It's too soon." The worst thing that could happen is someone uses an iPhone to record your Jobsy antics and then puts it on Facebook using a Mac. It's a win-win. Retraction In The Pride's Oct. 11 issue, the "Breast Cancer Awareness" article incorrectly spelled Zionna Munoz's last name as "Mnouz." The correct spelling is "Munoz." The article also said Munoz was diagnosed with breast cancer. In reality, her friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at twenty-six-years old. As a result, "Munoz began Barbells for Boobs to organize the Amazing Grace fundraiser. Proceeds are donated to Mammograms in Action, a non-profit breast-cancer organization of which Munoz is founder and president," according tojournal.crossfit.com. With "Shrek the Third" and "Shrek Forever After" being unnecessary contributions to a once great film series, it was hard to imagine that "Puss in Boots" would be anything more than yet another addition of overkill to the series. However, the spin-off prequel does just the opposite. Long before Puss meets Shrek, "Puss in Boots" tells the story of the titular feline as he reunites with his childhood friend and fellow outcast Humpty Dumpty as they search for magic beans. With the help of Kitty Softpaws, a cat with an expertise in thievery, they set out to find the magic beans so they can grow a beanstalk in order to steal the golden eggs from the golden goose in the giant's castle in the clouds. * The story is elaborate and intertwines several fairy tales by mixing and substituting the traditional, well-known plot elements. But that is half the fun here, as Jack and Jill now possess the beans, while the former Jack who once possessed them now goes by Andy Beanstalk. It's hot just because his character's name is in the title that Antonio Banderas owns this movie with his voice work as Puss. He is once again hilarious, over the top, heroic and seductive, balancing out all characteristics perfectly. Salma Hayek's character Kitty Softpaws presents herself as a fun counterpart for Puss. In fact, as strange as it may be to say, Banderas and Hayek's chemistry is a little too good, a majorly un- common accomplishment for animated films. Zach Galifianakis lends his voice to Humpty Dumpty. With Humpty being such a misunderstood character, he unfortunately doesn't give room to Galifianakis for his usual comedic potential. Seeing the film in 3D is not absolutely recommended unless you want to pay a few more dollars to see the occasional gimmick. However, children are likely to get much amusement out of the use of 3D. "Puss in Boots" is a surprisingly good movie, returning to the charm and wit that made "Shrek" and "Shrek 2" so great. If more sequels are to come in this new series, we can only hope that the successors of this film are just as rewarding. "Puss in Boots" opens in theatres Friday, Oct. 28. �California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, October 25,2011 | Visit The Pride online at csusmpride.com A&E Tales from the Nerd Si Scared Bitless - The Top Five Scariest Games Chris Giancamllli Pride Staff Writer H alloween w eekend l ooking G rimm?

Frightening movies, creepy music and horrific television specials all make thenway into our homes, but video games also have their share of bone-chilling stories. Players walk through blood-drenched corridors and pitch-black rooms not knowing what lies just around the corner. Halloween gives players the opportunity to revisit these nightmarish settings and experience terrifying new ones. Here's a breakdown of the top five scariest games to get those pulses pounding. Dead Space (2008, Electronic Arts) Campus ImprovTeam draws crowds Players take on the role of Issac Clarke, an engineer sent to a repair a seemingly abandoned space shuttle. Issac soon discovers that the ship is infested with Necromorphs: life forms that transform the dead crewmembers into ravenous mutants hell-bent on destroying all human life.

Throughout the game, Daniel encounters horrific beings roaming the halls of the castle. With no weapons to defend himself, Daniel's is forced to run and hide from the horrors that lurk in the dark. FJÏAJL. (2005, Vivendi Universal) In this horror-shooter, players are assigned to a top secret squad of soldiers known as F.E.A.R. (First Encoùnter Assault Recon)* The F.E.A.R, group is covertly dispatched to investigate and eliminate paranormal problems.

As they make their way through the facility, the F.E.A.R. soldiers are plagued by the ghost of a little girl who causes them to see horrific hallucinations. BioShock 2 (2010,2K Games) Players return to the underwater city of Rapture, a rusted relic of a once thriving metropolis, in "BioShock 2." In this installment, players control Subject Delta, an armored behemoth searching for the girl he was supposed to protect.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer On Sept. 29, Professor Mark Wallace read from his book, "The Quarry and the Lot," as the first event of CSUSM's fall 2011 Community and World Literary Series. In a nearly full classroom auditorium, Wallace, an associate professor of Literature and Writing Studies at CSUSM, gave students, faculty and the general public an opportunity to experience a literary reading from the author himself. The event provided the audience with a hybrid presentation that was both personal and professional. A brief introduction, presented by Professor Sandra Doller, explained Wallace received the 2002 Gertrude Stein Poetry Award and authored more than 15 books and chapbooks of poetry, fiction and essays. Also, other countries translated Wallace's writings into several other languages. Following the introduction, Wallace read several short poems from his collection titled "Belief is Impossible." Wallace's poetry proposed ideas and questions that gave the audience something to consider. These considerations came from lines about art, poetry and thought-provoking questions directed at the audience. Wallace then read from "The Quarry and the Lot," published earlier this year. The plot of the ; Brianna Cruz & Ashley Day Pride Staff Writers K imber Q u i n n e y novel follows a group of friends who reunite following the death of a childhood friend. Wallace wrote the novel using four voices that alternate between the past and the present. Wallace forewarned the audience he would not be doing voices for his character, with laughter ensuing from the audience. He then advised that when doing a reading, one should not do voices. A narration about childhood experiences, including a reckless bicycle stunt, first introduced the audience to the character Nick. After reading about Nick, Wallace then read several more poems before returning to "The Quarry and the Lot," introducing the audience to another character, Amelia, and her love for the deceased friend, Joseph. Wallace's voice embodied Amelia as she spoke of Joseph romantically and admiringly, seeing him as not just another one of the boys, but as something deeper. From Amelia's perspective, the audience understood Joseph as a tragic, angst- ridden youth trying to escape bleak suburbia. An opportunity for audience members to ask Wallace any questions followed the reading. These questions ranged from different topics including his book, writing style and writing process. Many students voiced what they thought of Wallace's published work. "I had read ["The Quarry and the Lot"] before, so it wjas interesting to see his perspective on the different characters," Liberal Studies major Kelsey Carmichael said. For those who are unfamiliar with a guest speaker's work, the Community and World Literary Series offers audience members a free, intimate experience to listen to and interact with writers as they share their work and give insight into their writing process. The series' next"reading will present Tisa Bryant and Amina Cain on Oct. 27 at CSUSM.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, in 2011, there will be 230,480 new cases of breast cancer in the United States. Donating money to the American Cancer Society helps conduct more research to help find a cure and save millions of lives. This month, CSUSM's Associated Student Inc. (ASI) will hold their annual "Fight for the Cure" in the Library Plaza during UHour on Thursday, Oct. 13. At the event, school organizations such as the Campus Activities Board (CAB), • Health and Wellness center, Women's Center and The Clarke plan to have information tables. "I don't think [students] realize the importance of getting tested as women," Alicia Perry from ASI said. Breast cancer is most common in women, but men can be involved in raising money. In previous years, ASI attempted to put together a Powder Puff game where students pay to play the game and the proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. "We would have an issue trying" to get people to sign up because they wanted their free time to do something else," Perry said. "Our goal is to raise funds for research and to get as many people involved." This year, ASI is trying a new approach to raise money. ASI is getting the men on campus involved in a fun and interesting way called "Hotties in Heels." The event entails a group of young male volunteers dressing up in drag. Participants accept cash and checks payable to American Cancer Society on behalf of breast cancer awareness. If you see a cross dresser walking around campus, be sure to take a picture with him and your friends and give him a tip for dressing up for a great cause. "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" will hold an event in Balboa Park, San Diego, Sunday, Oct. 16. It consists of a three to five mile walk. If students are interested, attend "Fight for the Cure" and visit the CAB table to sign-up and learn more information regarding organizing or joining a team. For people who live in Temecula, Susan G. Komen Inland Empire will hold their "Race for the Cure" on Sunday, Oct. 16. The event is located in the Macy's parking lot in the Promenade Mall. Hundreds of local vendors will give away free merchandise and sponsor activities for participants. Last Sunday, Oct. 9, "Barbells for Boobs" took place at CrossFit San Elijo to fundraise for "Mammograms for Action." Zionna Mnouz founded the foundation. Mnouz went to get a mammogram in 2009, but was denied the test because she was twenty-six-years-old. Six months later, Mnouz noticed a lump in her breast had grown larger. She mammograms.

BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Carlsbad provides enough variety to satisfy any palette. BJ's motto, "Discover why it's always Happy Hour at BJ's," proved to be valid not only for its tasty treats, like the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, but also for their award-winning beers. BJ's is more refined than your average dive bar and their menu supports the ambience with a wide variety of items from giant stuffed potatoes to gourmet burgers, pizza and fish and chips. The most creative thing to do is to build your own deep dish pizza using ingredients including bacon, artichokes, jalapeños and sweet corn. Match that unique pizza with a specialty beer ($3.95 during happy hour), most notably the Piranha Pale Ale, BJ's Jeremiah Red and the gold medalist Belgian style wheat beer, to create a meal all your own. BJ's supports craft beer brewing and bjsbrewhouse.com runs a "Brewer Blog." After you've filled up on tasty beer and pizza, direct your eyes to the must try "Pizookie" dessert: your choice of a baked cookie covered with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. The happy hour deals offer $1 off specialty cocktails, $2 off appetizers and certain nights have specials like half off all wine on Tuesday nights or $5 Mojito Mondays. BJ's happy hour runs from 3 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday and 7 - close Sunday - Thursday. BJ's atmosphere is reminiscent of downtown San Diego, with an indoor and outdoor area, invitingly dim light, <>pen space, an expansive bar, stylish decoration and friendly service. It is part of the attractive dining and shopping scene near the Carlsbad Flower Fields, which seems geared toward San Diego tourists but still provides a fun night out for locals looking to hit up the scene of Carlsbad. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse is located on Paseo del Norte in Carlsbad and is open 11 a.m. midnight Monday - Thursday, 11 — 1 a.m. Friday, 10 - 1 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. - midnight Sunday. Inventive professor challenges traditions in entrepreneurial class Pride Staff Writer If you enroll in the College of Business Administration's new Entrepreneurship 320 class, don't expect a lot of traditional coursework from professor Scott Landow. He's teaching his students to become dreamers. The first-time professor at Cal State San Marcos doesn't have a syllabus and his unorthodox grading criteria includes awarding points to students who effectively challenge his ideas, regardless of whether they're right or wrong! Landow says he pushes his student to ask "why not?" because out-of-the-box thinking is the hallmark of all successful entrepreneurs. He should know. Landow is the co-founder and CEO of Solana Beach-based Bridgetech Holdings International, an environment and renewables investment firm. Before that, he was chairman and CEO of Omaha-based Bond Laboratories, where he oversaw the development of new consumer products such as Fusion Premium Energy Gum and the hangover prevention drink Resurrection. Landow said all successful entrepreneurs have four characteristic traits: "(The) ability to listen, ability to feel, ability to envision or see what's not there yet and the ability to sell." To teach his students these traits, Landow's first project this semestèr was to have them form teams to create lemonade stands, the foundation for all young entrepreneurs. In his loose but engaging lecture style, Landow talked to his students about how to name their drink stands. "Understand a lemon," he said. "The first priority to naming a product or business is like naming your first child." And when telling students how to choose partners for their stands, he said, "Go toward people that express the unexpected, not those that give predictable answers you prefer to hear." Students in Entrepreneurship 320 say they appreciate Landow's enthusiasm and the unconventional nature of the class. By the end of the semester, each student will be expected to develop a marketable product or service. While owning a successful business is the goal of most students in the college's Entrepreneurship Track, getting rich isn't necessarily a goal Landow espouses. He said he encourages charitable giving as a way for business owners to expand their sales and do good in the world; "The system doesn't work unless you give back," he said. "Don't overlook the need to give back. You can make better contacts through charity than through business. How thrilling is it to do something for someone else? I can't tell you why, (but) it's more fulfilling." Do you know a p rofessor who deserves t o b e recognized f or his o r h er o utstanding achievements?

Blaine H. Mogi! Pride Staff Writer In 1960, the California State Department of Education drafted a 230-page., 15-year master plan for the University of California, California State College (later CSU) and community college systems with the goal of saving the state's higher education system from "destruction by unbridled competition." At the time, those heady words referred to the competition between the three upper education systems. But with today's tuition costs rising rapidly at the UC and CSU campuses, the Department of Education should be more concerned about competition from colleges outside the state-supported systems than any internal threat. At a meeting of the UC Regents, Sept. 13-15, in San Francisco, a budget proposed by UC leaders would raise tuition fees by 8 percent to 16 percent for each of the next four years. If this budget is approved, annual tuition for UC students could soar north of $22,000 by fall 2015. With continued annual hikes, students entering the system that year could expect the cost of their diploma to exceed 7.

There isn't an economist alive B eyond t he t extbook M aking t he m ost of y our college y ears Students: let's put on our existential hats for a moment and ask ourselves the big question: why are we here (and by "here," I mean college)? Why are you— one specimen in the several billion carbon-based bits of humanity—on this path of higher education? Don't spout out some canned response about the terrible economy and having "no other choice" but to attend school. The fact is that you are here for you. The sad part about attending college at Cal State San Marcos is the perception of a "commuter campus:" one where every student goes to class, goes home and gets on with his or her life. The next time you're rushing to beat the traffic out of the Markstein parking lot, take a moment and remember that the "college experience" offers more than just a degree with your name on it. This is a special time in your life, whether you are fresh out 5.

This is a time to discover yourself—your beliefs, your opinions, what makes you happy. This is a time to make connections to friends, professors, and the community to build a network that will carry you into a career or other post-academic goal. We are all hurrying to "get out" on time, but sometimes we just need to take a breath and appreciate what a college campus can offer. So stick around a while after class, if you can spare the time. Get involved. Do something that will feed your soul. Join a club, a team or a group. Nurture a talent arid surprise yourself. Wander into the Cross-Cultural Center, the Women's Center, the LGBTQA Center or the Veteran's Center. Talk to the people who hang out there. Make a friend. Discuss what's going on in your life or in the world. Celebrate our Contributor different opinions, but stay true to yourself. Your professors have office hours for a reason. Don't hesitate to stop in and say hello. They are professionals with advanced degrees, and thiey can help you with questions or concerns you have about your major, graduate school or future career. Talk to them about their own academic journeys; they have years of experience as both students and educators. Building relationships with your professors will come in handy when you require letters of recommendation or are searching for jobs in your field. College is so much more than your class schedule. Don't shy away from the heart of campus. Dig in and find your niche. Branch out and network with people. You came here to learn, so learn more than just academics. Learn about you and experience college your way. who wouldn't make a 16-to-l return on investment a top priority in any budget decision. Unfortunately, politicians make the state budget, not economists. Fallis said the Chancellor's office has little, if any, political capital to lobby the state for money because it's required by its charter to remain neutral. Although thè office sympathizes with students who are overburdened by tuition costs, the most it can do is make budget recommendations and hope for the best. * 4.

A little more p arking for a "little" more money Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer If you are a student at CSUSM, you're probably a commuter. Therefore, you understand what it's like paying for parking passes. If you live on campus and own a vehicle, I 'm sure you understand what it feels like to pay for a parking pass (as well as overpriced rent and groceries), so it would be nice to have a parking spot close to the dorms. Yet you still find yourself racing through the dorms trying to beat someone to the only available parking spot. This year, CSUSM welcomed its new and returning students to use the new parking structure; that addition has definitely made an impact for those who may háve to walk back and forth to campus and their car. Now that I am a commuter, the parking garage is as full as I 've ever seen. I typically arrive to school around 9 a.m., and by then, floors one through three are completely packed, four is mainly empty and the congestion begins again on floors five and six. I am greatful for the structure but I will admit, driving to the sixth floor can be such a bother. I interviewed student Cynthia Pérez and she shared her thoughts on the new structure. I wholeheartedly agreed with Perez when she said, "[The parking structure] is pretty good because it is great to have such an easy access to parking as opposed to having to struggle to find some when you're rushing to class." As someone who is late almost every single day, I believe the new parking structure is a blessing—that is, if you're able to find parking. Though the new structure is both convenient and accessible, being a student and paying the prices to park in such a convenient structure has its downfalls. Perez continued,"The prices are incredibly hurtful to anyone's wallet. It seems like a huge convenience fee." This year, an academic year parking pass which is valuable for both fall 2011 and spring 2012 costs $643 (currently sold out). If you want to buy your pass for each semester, they are $338 separately. If you wanted to save a little cash for each semester, you could always chose to pay for the X, Y, and Z parking pass for the semester which will only run you $254. If you really want to save ~ some dough and you are commuting on a motorcycle, congratulations. Your parking pass will only run you $70 per semester. If you decide that it would be easier to buy daily passes, the rates are $9 for all day, $7 for five hours, $6 for 3 hours and $3 for one hour. Let's face it; who has this kind of money laying around?

Since then, the set has shattered Blu-ray sales records. According to MSNBC.com; Star Wars: The Complete Saga has earned over $84 million worldwide in one week on Blu-ray. Though sales are strong, the set is polarizing fans over the constant changes made with every release of the "Star Wars" movies. Some of the changes in this release include new dialogue added to the final Darth Vader scene in "Return of the Jedi," computer-generated eyelids added to the Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" and new dialogue added to Obi-Wan in "A New Hope." Perhaps some welcome the changes and regard them as a new feature to enhance the experience. However, I cannot speak for this group of people. I belong to the vast majority of fans who love and enjoy the theatrical releases of the films. The average customer review for "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" is currently 2.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com. Skimming through over one thousand "onestar" reviews, the general consensus of the fans appears to be an overwhelmingly negative reaction to the alterations of the films. Like many fans before me, I am no stranger to the Star Wars editing controversy. Since the days of "Han shot first," fans have slowly lost faith in their beloved saga. What disappoints me most is the unfortunate reality that we as fans have no voice in the future of "Star Wars." How many years must we wait until Lucas will provide us with theatrical cuts in high definition? As a die-hard fan, I don't want to have a new, updated experience with my favorite sci-fi saga every five years. I want to remember the series for what it was, not what it has become. There is no doubt that I would purchase "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" had the set come with both the theatrical cuts and the 2011 Blu-ray edits. Though the set would cost more, I would pay (almost) any price to see the original classic films restored to visual perfection. While the Blu-ray releases may have a wealth of bonus features and documentaries, I will not purchase the set due to all the changes. Many of us fans will continue to wait for the theatrical cuts, however long they may take. If growing up with "Star Wars" taught us anything, there will always be a new hope... for a little fan service. I am not ashamed to say that I love TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras" even though People Magazine and CNN say I should be. Here in California, child beauty pageants are few and far between. But in the southern U.S., pageants take over hotel conference rooms nearly every weekend showcasing children as young as three months. Many publications recently printed less than comprehensive coverage of the hit show after a 3-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts's character in the movie "Pretty Woman." You'd be correct in recalling that Roberts's character is a prostitute. Similar costuming includes a 4-year-old dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with disproportionate chest enhancement) and a 2-year-old dressed as Madonna. I will concede to the argument that beauty pageants for children are not age appropriate in any sense. Considering that the infant categories in many beauty pageants require nothing more than a $2,000 dress and a doting parent to parade the often drooling, crying or sleeping, baby across a stage, there is little support for the case that the parent is doing the pageant because the child wants to. This is the cardinal problem with children in beauty pageants: crazy, scary moms want to be on stage, so they live vicariously through their daughters (and sometimes sons). Actually, apart from the whole age appropriateness ordeal (and the obscene amounts of money people spend),.that's pretty much the only real issue with beauty pageants. When a kid lacks his or her own . agency to decide to go onstage, then you've got a problem. However, MaKenzie Myers of Montgomery, LA has more gumption than most politicians do when it's time comes to grace the pageant stage (YouTube her and you'll see what I mean). With catch phrases that include " I'm not doing what you tell me," "Well, where's my drink?" and "Put me down so I can go get back in line," I 'm surprised TLC hasn't tried to capitalize on some line of MaKenzie dolls spouting any number of her hilarious lines. I guess, if you really wanted to, you could say this ball of energy is just a bratty little girl with a lenient mother. And, I guess, you could say this promotes bad behavior, poor self image development, etcetera, etcetera. However, the portrayal of these children is meant to shock viewers and leave them, mouths agape, waiting for the next week's installment. I feel I should also mention that TLC has hired the best TV editing team that ever existed; they truly make the show far more entertaining than it should be. Shame on CNN for trying to make me feel bad. Sure, I wouldn't recommend the many CSUSM students with young children to watch "Toddlers & Tiaras" to brush up on their parenting skills. However, just entertainment. CNN: pick on somebody your own size.

For those who have yet to become addicted to "The Office," the scripted but much improvised show highlighted the many talents of actors such as Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski. The return of the sitcom beginning their eighth season Thursday, Sept. 22 gave us the hope that the show can be equally as controversial and delightful with the absence of Michael Scott. It wasn't easy knowing that Michael Scott would no longer walk into the Dunder Mifflin-Sabre Scranton branch, but the season opened with a hilarious story line: planking . While some in the office awkwardly planked in inappropriate places (some expected, as Meredith was caught planking under the urinals in the men's restroom), we braced ourselves for the surprise of new management. We learn in the beginning of the opening episode that Robert California (James Spader) talked Jo (Kathy Bates), the CEO of Dunder Mifflin out of her very own job but returned to work out of the meeting room. Pam (Jenna Fischer) was especially sensitive due to the fact that she and husband, Jim (John Krasinski) are expecting their second child, a son, as well as Angela (Angela) expecting her first child with her husband, the senator (whom we were led to believe was gay). The biggest surprise of the new season was finding out that Andrew Bernard (Ed Helms) was named branch manager by Robert. Regardless if anyone agrees whether he can successfully run a branch, we can all agree that he truly cares about the office and his heart is in the right place. Personally, I was confused why he would be named manager, since I figured the producers were planning to go in a different direction as far as personality. We both know that Michael Scott and Andy Bernard are both known to cause mishap around the office. Last week's episode was one that would bring a smile to anyone's face—fan or not. As Andy handled the "manager expectations" nervously, not wanting to upset anyone or coming off as' too strict but also wanting work to get done, he and very disinterested Darryl tried to hire a new team of warehouse workers to take oyer since the old ones quit after winning the lottery. Since Phyllis has a very important order to be filled by that night, Erin, Jim, Dwight and Kevin tried desperately to figure out how to load the reams of paper into the delivery truck through trial and error, though many ended in error. However, they finally ended with the process they named "Senor Loadenstein" because it was "muy rapido." The buzz around the office consisted of the question "what would you do if you won the lottery?" As always, Jim and Pam (affectionately known as PB&J) stole our hearts with an argument of how they would spend their "fantasy" life after winning the lottery. Andy surprised us all when he took charge in getting Darryl back into the mood of actually working. Though I am accustomed to the mayhem Michael Scott always seems to find himself in, I am excited for the future of "The Office" and Dunder Mifflin-Sabre and I am curious to see how Andy will hopefully prove my expectation of failing wrong. If you weren't able to catch it, you can always watch it the day after airing on http://wwwiiulu.com. "The Office" airs on NBC every Thursday at 9 p.m. The third season of "Glee" premiered Tuesday, Sept. 20. It introduced a new array of songs a nd displayed the casts' many skills in classic rock anthems, musical numbers a nd even hip-hop a nd pop arrangements. The new season featured songs such as "We Got the Beat" originally by The Go-Go's a nd "You C an't Stop the Beat" from the Broadway musical "Hairspray." In honor of the new season, I have created my own playlist of the top "Glee" songs performed in previous seasons. I'll spare the readers by not mentioning the cast's Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believing." In the first season, Kristen Chenoweth's character April Rhodes performed the song "Maybe This Time" alongside William McKinley's Rachel Berry, played by L ea Michele. t he song is from the musical "Cabaret," I do not follow musicals, but really enjoyed this song a nd Broadway Star C henoweth was impeccable in her v ocal range. Characters Puck (Mark Sailing) a nd Quinn (Diana Agron) realized they were going to have a baby, but couldn't choose her name. Puck sang "Beth" originally by '80s b and KISS. The heart-warming ballad was touching, especially for a character with such e dge. The background vocalists offered support physically a nd musically. Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, performed the final song of season one, "Over the Rainbow" with Puck playing the ukulele beside him. This song was the perfect ending for season one because it is such a classic, put a tear in my eyes a nd kept the audience on the e dge of our seats for season two. Season two's Britney Spears themed episode skyrocketed "dumb blonde" cheerleader, Brittany S. Pierce (Heather Morris) to a viewer beloved character. Brittany exposed her amazing dancing talents. The song she sung a nd d anced to, "I'm a Slave 4 U" a nd other popular Britney hits, shocked the audience a nd made Brittany an instant favorite member of the "Glee" cast. Season two also introduced viewers to the character Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) created a buzz around "Glee's" William McKinley High a nd for Gleeks everywhere. Saying goodbye to boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine a nd competitor glee club, the Warblers, performed the song "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. This song melted viewer's hearts because it musically intensified the love between Blaine a nd Kurt. &NOW Literary Festival c omes to San Diego different panels, performances professors who will also act as and installations over the course panelists.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer It should come as no surprise that Benjamin Mee's appropriately-titled memoir "We Bought a Zoo" is about a family who, well, buys a zoo. In his novel, Mee documents his experiences during the restoration of his zoo leading up until the opening day. In the midst of this overwhelming yet exciting process, tragedy strikes when Mee's wife dies. Instead of putting life and the zoo on hold, Mee uses the onset of opening day as a productive distraction from his loss. Mee's accounts of this time in his life are heartwarming and sweet and, at times, devastating. The balance between moments of tragedy and frustration are carefully balanced with humorous or even tense interactions between the humans and the animals. However, Mee's storytelling is sometimes difficult to progress through due to the minimal dialogue in the. text. His story often feels as if you are listening to someone recount a series of incidents while often withholding any conversations that may have taken place during the events. With the story being told from Mee's point of view, his illustration of himself is wonderfully humbling.

Haunted Trail, Haunted Hotel and The Scream Zone are three of San Diego's well-known places that are sure to make your blood run cold. These events are annual running from as early as late September all the way until Halloween night. San Diego's Haunted Trail has guests take an eerie nighttime trail trek with shocking surprises awaiting daring visitors. Trail officials emphasize that the trail is not for children under 10, and they do not recommended it for those who are prone to seizures or have heart problems due to the use of strobe lights and intense scares. The Haunted Trail opened back in September, and will remain open Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 19 - 31. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the trail is open from 7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, the trail is open from 6:30 -11:45 p.m. and this time will also apply on Halloween night. General admission prices are $15 on Sundays through Thursdays and $17 on Fridays and Saturdays. The Haunted Hotel is the San Diego Halloween haunted house attraction that has been around the longest and therefore has built notoriety. The attraction takes its guests down a "Hellevator" below the hotel and into terrifying themed rooms with zombies, ghouls and even Freddy Krueger himself. This attraction is open Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 1 9 - 3 1 . On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the hotel is open from 7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays the times are 6 p.m. - 1 a.m. and on Halloween night the hotel is open from 6 p.m. - midnight. Due to special effects and scares, the Haunted Hotel is not recommended for those who are prone to seizures or have heart problems. For more information such as an in-depth FAQ of the three San Diego Halloween attractions and various ticket price options, see www.hauntedhotel. coin (from this site there are links redirecting to the specific pages for the Haunted Trails, Haunted Hotel and Scream Zone). The Scream Zone, held at the Del Mar Scaregrounds, opened on Sept. 30 and will remain open to guests eager for scares Oct. 13 - 16 Thursdays through Sundays and Oct. 2 0 - 3 1 each night. The Scream Zone times are Fridays and Saturdays 7 p.m. - midnight and 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. on the other opening days. The. three attractions are the Haunted Hayride, The House of Horror and The Chamber. The Haunted Hayride takes guests on a haywagon ride beyond the Del Mar Race Track and up close and personal with various ghouls and creatures. The House of Horror has visitors venturing through a house with themed rooms and a terrifying twist ending (this attraction is not recommended for children under 10). Finally, The Chamber takes guests into a labyrinth of frightening proportions featuring what the Scream Zone's website states is "the largest 'spinning tunnel' in San Diego." Prices depend upon the patron's choice of haunt (or haunts, if you dare). The triple haunt (which includes all three attractions) is $27.99. A double haunt includes the Chamber and the House of Horror or the Haunted Hayride and costs $18.99. A single haunt consisting either of the House of Horror or the Haunted Hayride is $14.99. There are also group sales and military discounts available for visitors. For more info on the prices and directions, visit www. thescreamzone .com. According to The Scream Zone website, 509 visitors haven't made it through to the end of the House of Horror. Think you can?

Next June, the 47-year-old single mother from Ramona will graduate with a master's degree in Sociological Practice with an emphasis in pedestrian safety research . Her master thesis will focus on the statistics behind child pedestrian fatalities and how fam- ilies grieve, cope and make sense of a senseless tragedy. Last week / Holland was honored for her dedication and 3.88 GPA with the Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award, one of the highest forms of recognition for student achievement in the CSU system. The Hearst award is given to just one student at each CSU campus annually, recognizing merit, academic achievement and community service in the face of financial and personal hardships. "It's an honor to be selected with a handful of my peers to be a Hearst Scholar," Holland said, in a press release. "The award validates my hard work and encourages me by knowing that people are behind me and supporting me in achieving my goals." Holland was in the final months of her senior year at San Diego State when she got the news about her nephew's son, Zaeh Cruz, who was struck by a truck and killed in a suburban crosswalk after getting off a school bus in Berkeley on Feb. 2 7,2009. Holland finished her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with cum laude honors, and threw herself into advocating for pedestrian safety through the Zachary Michael Cruz Foundation, established by Zach's parents, Frank and Jodie Cruz. She hopes that she can use her master's degree to lobby for pedestrian safety issues at the regional and national levels. "I want to be an even stronger voice advocating for pedestrian safety education, enforcement and engineering," she said, explaining that each year more than 1,000 pedestrians lose their lives in preventable accidents. "I know I can make a difference and the Hearst Award further reminds me to continue to push forward and give my very best." Holland's own life has been touched by tragedy as well. She worked a series of low-wage jobs while raising two children on her own. Then several years ago, she was working on a construction project near SDSU when an accident at the jobsite left her with a disabling back injury. Although it had been more than two decades since she'd been in a classroom, Holland knew she'd need to get an education to land a well-paying desk job, so she went back to school at San Diego State. She graduated in 2010. She's also volunteered her time with the March of Dimes, Head Start, Zonta International, the U.N. Association of San Diego and a local sobering facility, among other organizations. Holland is one of 23 CSU students to receive the Hearst Award this fall. She received a $3,000 scholarship and a Sony technology package (including a notebook computer and camera). Campus Calendar TUESDAY, SEPT. 27: -Polynesian •S.D.

Adams, age 28, has been a professional in Flatland BMX since he was 16 years old and has competed in tournaments all over the world, winj ning a Gold Medal in the ¡ 2005 X Games and also scoring Ride BMX Magazine's Number One Ride Award in 2005 and 2008. "I wanted to be a professional," Adams said. When asked about what got him into Flatland, Adams continued, "When I looked it up, it looked more artsy. It was different." Flatland is a freestyle BMX riding style performed on smooth, flat surfaces that do not include any ramps, jumps or grind rails. By some, it is called "artistic cycling" and can even be related to break dancing, according to Mick Ross of In Air on Ground Freestyle BMX. Adams grew up in Louisiana and was homeschooled. He graduated at the age of 15 and then attended Louisiana State University for one semester before he decided he wanted to focus on his BMX career instead. Red Bull sponsored Adams since 2003. He has been touring the United States these past few weeks doing demos at 50 differ- ent colleges. "It is very chill, spreading awareness about what I do. It is a cool opportunity from Red BuU," Adams said. He continued, "Students here are in a good mood. They are a little more stoked," when asked about how it was performing here at CSUSM. . The big Red Bull truck, called the Red Bull MXT, came out and opened up its speakers, blasting party music throughout Library Plaza. Students gathered as Adams showed off some of his cool moves, including his own trick, Katrina, that he named after the 2005 hurricane Katrina. Students were handed "spirit" towels to twirl around which added to the festivity of the hour. With the crowds cheering, Adams continued to entertain the students by balancing, spinning and hopping with his bike. On a break, Red Bull handed out two free T- * shirts to the first two people that showed up to the Red Bull MXT. "One of the lucky winners was Dylan Baquero who started to "shuffle" in the center of the plaza after winning his T-shirt. "I won a t-shirt! And it's cool spirit," Baquero said when asked what drove him to dance. Throughout the demo, Red Bull's Wiiings Team girls gave out free Red Bulls to the students. "This is the coolest back-toschool event we've been to," Gina Lucas said, one of the Wiiings team girls. Students also responded to the event with enthusiasm. "It was a great experience. It shows the diversity of the campus," ASI VP of Marketing, Ken LaLonde, said. If you would like to know more about Terry Adams, go to his website: www.terryadams.com. Photos by Ashley Aronson and Morgan Hall Riding athe mwaves CSUSM Surf Team ttracts any for tryouts Morgan Hall Pride Staff Writer . CSUSM surf team tiyouts occurred Sunday, Sept. 18. Calm water and bad waves added pressure to student surfers interested in joining the fall 2011 - spring 2012 team. "It is a little nerve racking because the waves aren't too good today," senior Tyler Noonan said. "You're lucky just to catch a few good waves," he added. Noonan, who surfed for his high school team and was trying out for the first time, said that he looks "forward to being able to get back into surf competitions and meet new surfers this season." This year, the Cal State San Marcos Surf Team tryouts gave each surfer three 15-minute heats to catch as many waves as he or she could with only the two highest scoring waves counting toward the overall score. "We're looking for length, turns and connecting rides and, of course, the more you do the more points you will get," team captain, Ashley Aronson said. Dave Kincannon, who was on the inaugural team back in 2001, tinue to surf and come to tryouts but had to leave CSUSM to work, again next year " said, "The way tryouts are set up Being a part of the CSUSM surf this year is a lot fairer than the team allows students to do somefirst time I tried out.

The women remarkably swept the top-five collegiate spots to win the 5K Open, while the men placed third in a stacked field in the 8K Invitational. Running against a field that featured NCAA schools like San Jose State and Cal State Los Angeles, the two-time defending NAIA National Champion and #2-ranked CSUSM women's team dominated the 5K on Saturday, Sept. 17: Suzanne Cornwell won the race outright with an outstanding time of 17:11 - the second fastest in CSUSM crosscountry history. After four unattached (noncollegiate) runners crossed the finish line, including CSUSM alums Whitney Patton and Jennifer Albright, the next collegiate finisher to cross the line was Carol Schryver. A 2010 All-American, Schryver ran 17:44 to place seventh overall and second in the collegiate competition. Two more Cougars were right behind her as Chelsey Cortez continued her strong start to the season by placing eighth at 17:47, and two-time All-American Cady Villarreal taking ninth at 17:48. One spot later, Kelly Thompson finished in eleventh place at 18:02, giving the Cougars a sweep of the top-five collegiate spots. Leading the remaining competitors for CSUSM were Heidi Swanson (14th, 18:09), Cassidy Reich (20th, 18:17), and Aubriele Rowe (28th, 18:30). On the men's side, the Cougars posted a strong third-place finish, only finishing behind Southern Utah and host schooi UC Riverside and finishing in front of NAIA competitors Cal Baptist and Master's College in the 25team field. So far this season, Danny Lyon and 2010 Ail-American Western Nelson have established themselves as the two top runners for the Cougars and that held true on Saturday, Sept. 17. Nelson placed eighth in the field of nearly 250 runners, coming within 2 seconds of breaking the school record for the 8K with a time of 24:16. Right behind him was Lyon, who took ninth with a time of 24:19. Nelson and Lyon are both All-American threats, and having two runners of that class is a major reason why Coach Steve Scott's #7-ranked men's crosscountry team is in the hunt for its first National Championship. Of course, to win a national title lililP it takes depth and CSUSM will be looking to build that throughout the 2011 season. On Sept. 17, Ismael Rodriguez placed 43rd at 25:20, Ryan Jensen took 48th at 25:22 and Armando Lara rounded out the team's top-five by placing 58th at 25:29, all finishing within 10 seconds of one another to help the team to its third place finish. Leading the remaining Cougars were Easton Tackett (72nd; 25:36) and Lenny Santana (75th; 25:37). CSUSM cross-country will be back in action in two weeks at the Pomona Pitzer Invitational. Raising money for CSUSM athletics Kyle Trembley Contributor San Diego Padres Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Jones will be playing in the fourth annual CSUSM Cougar Scramble Golf Tournament and registration for the limited spots remaining in the field is now open to the public. Hosted by Cal State San Marcos Athletics and the CSUSM Alumni Association, the Cougar Scramble will be played on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at beautiful ^Crosby Golf Course in Rancho Santa Fe. All proceeds from the event will go towards student-athlete scholarships and Alumni Association endowed scholarships. "This is the second year that we will hold the tournament at The Crosby, which is an unbelievable course and the reason we sold out last year," said CSUSM Athletic Director Tom Seitz.

ILL is a service available to students for obtaining different forms of research for course related projects. "Interlibrary Loan staff search and order requested materials from a worldwide database. Material requested through ILL typically arrive at the Library within one to two weeks. You are notified via your CSUSM email account when the material arrives, books are held for pickup and articles are delivered to you electronically," Teri Roudenbush of Library Resource Services said. Also, materials from ILL are never delivered to your home but rather held at the circulation desk on the third floor of the Kellogg Library. For more information on ILL, contact Teri Roudenbush at troudenb@csusm.edu Kristin Melody Pride Staff Writer Photos by Morgan Hall Our next issue will feature ÉMM Imph nCnij^E^it^fllv! All of us CSUSM students could use at least an hour of happiness, and Players Sports Bar delivers all the way, including TVs over the urinals. I spent this week's Happy Hour at Players off Twin Oaks Valley Rd. across from campus, which is open from 10 a.m. - 2 a.m. and has Happy Hour from 2 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday. For all you local or new students, this is a great place to meet fellow students because it is close to campus and supports a young scene. If you have any love for Padres or Red Sox, this place will sympathize with you. The Happy Hour deals included $1 off wine, beer and wells; you will also get $2 off appetizers including their delicious, picante chips and salsa. Enjoy the tasty potato wedges while watching a late season baseball game on one of their 21 large TVs. Another commendable part of Players was the beer list that included local breweries like Lost Abbey, Ballast Point and Green Flash as well as foreign and domes-tic brews. Indulge in craft beers like Lost Abbey's Red Barn Ale and Rogue's Hazelnut Brown for $2.75 each while gawking at the 100 oz. "tubes" of domestic beer at the next table. The beer happy hour prices ranged from $2.75 $9 for 16 oz. For those transplant students from the northeast, Players' beer includes Magic Hat #9V the famous craft beer of that area. If you are free on a Wednesday, head over to "Kick the Keg" to enjoy that week's domestic beer keg at $2 - $4 a pint from 2 p.m. until the keg is empty. Other enjoyment for family, 18+, and 21+ included the two pool tables and outdoor seating withfireplaces and sporty atmosphere. Players is a great place to meet new friends from CSUSM, take someone on a date or relax after a long day of classes.

On my only visit here, the inside of the restaurant was clean, the staff polite and attentive and the menu selection good. I ordered the meal that is standard fare when trying a new place, the nachos with carnitas. Although the presentation was nice, along with freshly shredded jack and cheddar cheese on top, the portion size was skimpy at best with about half the size of other taco shops yet at the same price. The worst was hidden underneath— a liquid cheese substance of the 7-11 nacho variety, and it tasted as bad as it looked. Perhaps other menu items provide a more satisfying eating experience and better value, but alas, I will likely never find out. The best Mexican food will be the focus in our next issue. 1 of 5 stars. ¡gl T he politics of royalty artseditor.pride@gmail.com Media Manager C hris G iancamilli mediamanager. pride@gmail. com Advisor P a m K ragen pkragen@nctimes. com Pride Staff Writers B rianna C ruz J essie G ambrell Rogers J affarian Kyle M.

Based on the limited school spirit and developing athletic department, one can't really expect to enjoy any sort of traditional homecoming events. Enter King and Queen elections . Yes. You get to witness the first Cal State San Marcos Homecoming King and Queen receive his and her crowns at the homecoming jsoccer game at noon on Oct. 1. On Thursday, Sept. 29, the top three candidates based on the results of an electronic ballot (currently live through today at csusm.edu/homecoming) will be announced at 12:30 p m. during CougarFest according to campus announcements. Each student is allowed one vote, so choose your top three candidates wisely. The student body nominated eight candidates for king and 11 for queen; students can read about the candidates' reasons for running in short statements posted on the ballot. The ballot interestingly makes a distinct separation between king and queen, perhaps because there are candidates of both genders running for both positions. Jennifer Meneray and Arthur Silverstein are running for king and queen, respectively. Notice that I did indeed get my order of words correct: we have a female running for king and a male running for queen. When I first discovered this nontraditional homecoming ballot, the first thought to enter my mind was something to the effect of, "Why haven't I heard of this yet?" "I could not care less," senior Amanda Puckett said. "I'm happy they have free time," Puckett continued, saying that homecoming is more of a distraction than anything. Puckett's statement bears validity with me, especially considering her choice word of "apathetic" when describing her feelings about homecoming in general. "[Meneray and Silverstein] want people to question gender identity. They want voters to question why a king is a king and a queen is a queen," Puckett said. "Homecoming Kings are often looked at as people who take charge of things, who are leaders, who challenge injustice and encourage understanding of different identities," Meneray said in her campaign statement, leading readers to believe that she is in the business of redefining who can fit that role. "I did not nominate myself for homecoming court," Meneray said in an email interview with me. The person who nominated Meneray only nominated her to run, but not for king or queen specifically. "To be honest and true to my personal identity and to support one of the communities I am part of, I knew that I had to run for king." I wondered why Meneray felt she could not be as effective of a leader if crowned as a queen. She responded, "Queen just doesn't feelrightto me, and I would hate to try and take on that label without identifying with it." The Pride asked Silverstein the same questions as Meneray, but he did not offer comment. "I work with [Silverstein], the guy running for queen," Brandon Torres said, junior and Psychology and Sociology major. "Arthur is more tongue-in-cheek about it—more on the comical side, like he's saying, 'Yeah, I'll be queen' "I think [Meneray's] reasons for running are more political," Torres continued. "On campus I am very active in a variety of organizations that support social justice," Meneray said in an interview. She is the president of the Women's Studies Student Association and is a certified Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence advocate for the Women's Resource Center in Oceanside. Meneray continued to clarify her reasons for running as Homecoming King: "Does it have to do with the politics of the labels and how exclusive the labels are? Yes, it has a lot to do with the labels and how they normally distributed." Although Meneray has not run for homecoming court at any other institution, she did attend high school prom with her samesex partner. Although she said she has not experienced any negativity from CSUSM thus far about her choice to run as king, she did feel some resistance to expressing her lifestyle in high school. "People said we made a great couple, but our yearbook editors would not publish our prom picture in my yearbook since we were both women." Students on campus responded positively to the news of Silver- stein's and Meneray's choices to run as queen and king. "I think times are changing. People are more accepting and I'm really happy about that," sophomore and Kinesiology major Joanne Cayabyab said. "I think it's great," Julio Zuniga, History and Political Science major, said. "We passed a barrier—broke down a wall." After talking with several students, I've come to conclude that while no one really cares about homecoming on this campus, people are happy that the university will allow students to express different lifestyles through the homecoming celebration. I can't say that this means our university is more accepting than other universities; from my years on this campus, I've come to determine that CSUSM is a conservative institution that is quite concerned with maintaining a certain image. But, I won't go there today. It would appear that "not caring" is one of the first steps toward progress. Acceptance seems to create a positive blindness to social change—sort of that, "Oh, I didn't notice" effect. When I asked Torres why he thought people didn't seem to react much to the news of Silverstein and Meneray, he responded quite appropriately: "Why should you?"

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Investing in "Moneyball" It's almost prophetic that a film about one of the poorest franchises in Major League Baseball will likely be one of the most underappreciated sports films of all-time. It's a shame, too. Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, sets out to compile a successful baseball roster with the help of Peter Brand (Jonah Mill) and an incredibly modest budget. With, the entire MLB against them, Beane and Brand set out to prove that it's possible to create a winning team with comparatively little money. Moneyball" is a baseball movie with an asterisk: it features very little field action of the game. In fact, it isn't until the last half hour of the movie until we're placed on the field with the players during a game, but with good reason. With Beane's distance he keeps between himself and the game, it makes sense that viewers wouldn't witness anyfield-actionuntil Beane puts himself near the field. Instead of your conventional baseball film, what "Moneyball" offers is a behind-the-scenes look at the mechanics of what goes into developing a baseball roster and a successful franchise. Pitt delivers a realistic portrayal of a man who missed his own major league victory and wants to give it to those deserving of it. Hill is warm as the driven assistant who somehow ended up working in baseball despite his educational background. Also, look out for Kerris Dorsey as Beane's concerned daughter, who rather impressively performs a cover of Lenka's "The Show" as a way to reach out to her dad. -Moneyball" offers a true story about the heart and determination that must go into success and the compromises needed to reach life's little victories.

With movie trailers and posters for "Killer Elite" marketing it as "based on a true story," one may think that this be Jason Statham's return to action films with substance. However, upon viewing the film, aüdience members may ask how much of this is true, with some scenes leaving you consumed in disbelief and awe. Danny (Statham) is a retired special-operations agent who returns to his old lifestyle in order to save his partner, Hunter (Robert De Niro), who is being held captive. Hunter's captor is a man who has lost three sons in war and wants justice from his sons' killers to be carried out by Danny. He must obtain the soldiers' confessions and make their deaths look like accidents. While carrying out his mission, Danny is then confronted by Spike (Clive Owen), who intends to put a stop to these killings due to his attachment and association with the targets. The actors are all very entertaining to watch. Statham, playing a layered-version of his usual self, is determined to prove that what we do does not define us. De Niro is fun as the wisecrack ing mentor, leaving us wishing for more screen-time. Owen plays a strong roadblock in Statham's path. The action sequences, while immensely exciting, are sporadic. We are often left with many (in comparison) slower sequences. These sequences, however, are necessary to the plot and en tertaining in execution. One such scene involves the developing of a mallet that matches the tiles of one target's shower, in order to make his death seem like an accident. The dialogue is cheesy with the formulaic, bad (but fun), popcorn-flick one-liners be ing spouted regularly. A notable catch phrase worthy line in volves a character shouting, "BI-N-G-(expletive)-0!" If you're looking for a cat-andmouse action/thriller with refreshing and perhaps ridiculously, complex action sequences, see "Killer Elite." As1 Hakuna m atata Reliving a c hildhood almost f orgotten Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer Do you remember picking up your dog and singing mcomprehensively at the top of your lungs while you held your poor pup in the air? This signature stance derives from none other than Disney's 32nd classic film, 'The Lion King," that made its (iebut into the world and our hearts in 1994. The critically acclaimed animated classic was tremendously successful in the box offices and was quite popular, winning three Golden Globes for Best Original Score for a Motion Picture, Best Original Song for a Motion Picture and Best Motion Picture in Comedy/Musical as well as two SCfoOQi* Oscars for Best Musical Score and Original Song. With the "The Lion King" in theaters this September, 90s kids as well as children everywhere were given the opportunity to relive their childhood and experience the tragic but musically genius adventure in a way no one has ever experienced before: in 3D. A friend and I went to the opening weekend and we weren't able to contain our joy as soon as "Circle of Life" started playing. We, along with many 5-year-olds and their stressed out parents, watched in awe as Mufasa and Simba came to life right before our very eyes. Though I have seen this movie countless times, the experience of watching it restored and three-dimensional was something I never thought I would be able to witness. Colors and scenes danced out right in front of me, and the elimination of the unpopular song addition titled "Morning Report" to the DVD version was delightful. Watching Mufasa's infinite wisdom, Scar's evil antics and the silliness of Timon and Pumba brought back memories of a childhood when my biggest concern was me falling asleep before Rafiki got Simba back to Pride Rock in time before the hyenas took over—a time before school, work and adult responsibilities consumed my life. Though the viewing is limited, the experience of reliving my childhood was irreplaceable.

COMPILED BY THE OFFICE OF COMMUNICATION H . * Photo courtesy of csusm.edu �OPINION THE PRIDE MAY 10TH, 2011 HAULING OUR DEGREES TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINES GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE NO LONGER HOLDS PROMISE OF EMPLOYMENT M ELANIE S L O C U M P RIDE STAFF W R I T E R The percent of unemployed college graduates in the United States under the age of 25 is 11.2 percent, the percent of unemployed graduate school graduates is even higher (New York Times). Why are we flinging ourselves into lava pits? Well, it's not a leap; it's a fall down a tunnel. What other options do we have as we exit high school? We are conditioned from our youth to believe in the importance of going to college. But, now that I'm weeks from graduation, I have but one question: Now what? In his 2011 State oLthe Union Address, President Obama remarked that nearly half of the new jobs in the next 10 years will require a college degree (Whitehouse.gov). And we've all been told before that the best thing to do in an economic recession is to attend school so that when the economy "bounces back" we'll get some magical high- Photo courtesy of Melanie Slocum ¿ ( e J J o s i J (ejzAn£jct ¿/i C o l l i A e FAREWELL ADVICE FROM THE EDITOR-IN-rfllEF S A N D R A C HALMERS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF As I take my last walks up and down the cliffs of stairs that compose most of this campus, I think back 'on all the things that as a freshman I wish I knew and the most important lessons that my education has armed me with. So to benefit the student population I will be leaving behind as I graduate this May, I offer some honest truths about college life. Professors want to hear more than your stomach growling in class: Professors want students to ask questions in class, I learned in my Communication 200 course, debate and persuasion , the essential step in thinking critically is to ask questions, and if there are no questions being asked in class then critical thinking could quite possibly be absent. Professors aim to fuel your understanding, your thought process on the material and if the content is too difficult to follow, tuning out and thinking about a Mr. Taco breakfast burrito will not help you engage in the material, I know, its hard, but reading the material prior to class helps reinforce your true understanding. Getting questions answered as the class progresses keeps you from getting stuck at midterm, review with 25 topics you can't find on Wikipedia. If you're going to buy the text. book, make sure to read it: We all know the familiar heart- break of paying $136 for a textbook that was never opened and then got denied buy back. That slap in the face happens all to often, so invest ig your investments, make your textbooks your best friends, after all we know they have the right answers in them to guarantee you a perfect grade. n ^ ¿ ï T o r ' What's even worse is that nobody cares; at least, not enough do. Why aren't more students angered by this? The economy is something we have little control over, but our voices are something we do. While there have been significant efforts to raise awareness and protest tuition increases on this campus, the amount of student turnout at these events is negligible, and embarrassing. This issue affects all of us students, yet nobody can seem to envision anything beyond final exams. Wake up CSUSM. As I leave this university, I've been slapped in the face with a bleak reality beyond the Utopia of undergraduate education. Know that doom's day is coming, and know that as students, you can change this, and should. Of all environments to speak your mind in, college is probably the most accommodating you will experience. Speak up for your education, speak up for yourself. Take advantage of your own voice, stop expecting others to do it for you, and know that if you don't, your investment into a lie will s a & v ) e j i " Time w ell s p e n t " i s a r elative t erm 1 I j 1 I I | 1 Cell phone in class, means l sing your ringtone in class: I will never forget the time I sang the chorus for the song "Tipsy" by J-Kwon in front of my sociology class after my phone rang. The rules of the land were, "phone rings, then you must sing." My unfortunate taste in ringtone denied me the chance slip by humming a simple tune, but my impromptu performance branded me to never allow phone interruptions during any class again, or you may never know what embarrassing consequences there maybe. If you're on time, you're already late: My favorite class, at the early hour of 10 a.m, became a phenomenon for my time keeping abilities. Arriving right at 10 a.m meant a lengthy search for a chair or possibly sitting at the uneven desk in the corner that squawked with every movement of a pencil . My professor seemed to understand this phenomenon and would stop at mid sentence to cheerfully invite me to class with a "Oh hi there, great that you made it." Her genuine invitation felt like daggers to my embarrassment, a perfect cure to understanding that being on time is already too late. paying job. But what about us in-betweeners? What are we supposed to do for the next 9 years? I 'd like to enjoy my 20s, not eat ramen noodles until I'm over 30. Not only do more than 11 percent of college students graduate unemployed, but they do so with excessive debt. Our parents and teachers indoctrinated us to believe that getting a Bachelor's degree is an investment in our future, so 53 percent of full-time students take out loans (National Center for Education Statistics). But what happens when that future holds no promise? We have invested into a lie. Not only do unemployed-tobe students already graduate with massive debt, but state governments are making it increasingly more difficult for students to afford a public education. In 2011 alone, the cost of tuition for a CSU undergraduate rose an additional 10 percent (calstate. edu), making the amount of debt students graduate with even higher, while creating an inverse relationship with the success in finding a job after we graduate. forget what I should care more about.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Booths are set up on the tour's grounds where attendees tors could even meet up with the bands after their sets).

"Thor" and "Fast Five" are already tearing up the box office, but The Pride provides a guide to the many other soon-to-be blockbusters that everybody's looking forward to this summer. "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (May 20) The fourth film in the incredibly lucrative "Pirates" franchise doesn't star Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightley or any of the million subplots that plague the last two films, but it does see Johnny Depp's long-awaited return as good old Captain Jack. Even better, the beautiful Penelope Cruz joins Jack on his search for the fountain of youth, and the return of his frequently-lost ship, the Black Pearl. "The Hangover Part II" f (May 26) While it may seem hard to Fun Facts- " Autobots, roll O ptimus Prime voicecFb; top the comedic genius of the first film, "the wolfpack" is back for more, this time on a journey to find the younger brother of Stu's (Ed Helms) fiancée, who they lose in the middle of Bangkok after yet another night of drug-induced madness. A monkey, a Mike-Tyson face tattoo and a rumored celebrity cameo all factor into the mystery. "Green Lantern'' (June 17) "Green Lantern" has been hotly anticipated by comic geeks the world over, partially because the titular hero is the first DCcomics character beside Superman and Batman to get his own film. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, a playboy test pilot who becomes a superhero when he is given a powerful ring by an extraterrestrial and must use his newfound powers to protect Earth from the forces of evil. "Cars 2" (June 24) The first direct Pixar sequel since the Toy Story movies, "Cars 2 " sees Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) on a cros^-qpuntîy, toyp* to |he prestigious World Grand Prix, while his best pal Mater (Larry, the Cable Guy) gets caught up in a world of espionage and intrigue when he is recruited as a spy. "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (July 1) While a worldwide success, the second "Transformers" film wasn't incredibly popular with critics, or Megan Fox for that matter, who left the production's third installment. However, the trailer promises some epic action that few will be able to resist, as the Autobots race to reach an important artifact on the moon before the evil Decepticons do. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" (July 15) To call the eighth Harry Potter film the most anticipated film of the summer would be an understatement, the most anticipated film of the past decade would be a more reasonable label. The final installment of the most successful film franchise, in history, picks up where the last film left off and promises to tie up all the loose ends, with lots of typically great performances and nonstop 4ctiony,ail in glojjous 3D. �C OUGAR G AMES 1 4 73 6 5 9 7 289 42 1 7 4 38 6 7 1 9 6 5 35 2 9 293 8 6 S UDOKU 5 3 I i AND CROSSWORD Is N p DPR AL 1 1U V |S B N sEE 0A0 McR H1 WsA uNp DME NRH 0UT SNU S A A 0 A R B p U S R L N 0 D p N S 1 C S U U R L A S M T 0 A s s E A R H L R X U P S M 0 F c c A T E 1 U 1 N F K N L R L 1 S W 1 M 1 N G T R U N K S 1 P U R 0 M G L G A V S P S S P 0 N R N U A S P 0 L F P 1 L F R S U N S C R E E N 0 S U 0 L T E A S B E N 0 A P U E R 0 0 0 T E S T U N 0 C 0 C M R p p H S R A D A L 0 C A N 1 P S H Mj T W B 1 K 1 N 1 E U 1 C H U S ummer Sun S ets B each f lip f lop Sun S creen Sun G lasses SPF F lip F lops T ropics R elaxing O utdoors V acation ""f ! i** * T he F air P ools H ot W ater P arks T an S un B urn Ice C ream S plash S and A loe C oconuts S wiming T runks B ikini P ina C olada 1 - �18 MAY 10TH, 2011 T HE PRIDE A&E "OFFCENTRE" DANCERS OWN THE STAGE C OMMUNITY, G LOBAL T HEMES R EPRESENT T HE T ENTH A N N U A L D A N C E C ONCERT N ANCY, R OSSIGNOL P RIDE STAFF W RITER to a medley of Western, Hawaiian and Latino music followed in "Jump!

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

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

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

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

CSUSM's Student Health and Counseling Services, though not directly tied to Planned Parenthood, offers similar services and is funded through the state and student fees. Because of its alternate sources of funding, Student Health and Counseling Services would still provide reproductive health and education services should Planned Parenthood cease to exist.

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

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

Boots, raincoats and hats have resurfaced before they had a chance to dry out from the last rains of winter. A chilly start to spring means some are still stuffing tissues in their pockets. College students are feeling the stress of the postmidterms crunch, leaving many with weakened immune systems thai are susceptible to any nearby sneeze. If the common cold is what ails you, here are a few remedies most everyone has at home to help combat the sniffles and leave you ready to take on the semester's remaining weeks. /iff CVAin Have some OJ with your breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice not is one of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence. According to biologist Thomas Peel, vitamin C is not only effective in fighting colds, but it helps in the growth and rebuilding of bone and muscle. Stay away from chalky vitamin C wafers, as the U.S. Food and Nutrition board recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than multivitamins, since the latter are synthetic and less easily absorbed. Go lay out. Here in San Diego, tanning in April is certainly not out of the question. Getting some sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your mood in a positive way. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed moods during fall and winter, mostly because of a vitamin D deficiency, so start making up for that lost sunlight ASAP. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin D is great for the body and mind. Soup for the soul. The old mantra as a standby for cold treatment is more valid than you might think. Soup has much more water in it than other foods, aiding in hydration when your body is trying to fight off a cold virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional chicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A. Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist, in case that dry cough is getting tough to handle (lifeclinic.com). Read: chocolate and peanut butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here, SEVEN COLD REMEDIES FOR SPRING SNIFFLES but both foods are high in zinc, which has the potential to shorten the duration of a cold. Chocolate candy with high concentrations of cacao is preferred, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database. Organic peanut butter made from oil-roasted peanuts and minimal sweeteners is your best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides nearly half of the RDA of zinc. Calm down with chamomile. Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the eyes. Calm redness in your eyes with the super anti-inflammatory food, chamomile. Make a weak tea, let it cool until it is barely warmer than your skin, and rinse your face with it. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Ad- ministration (FDA), chamomile causes allergic reactions in some individuals, so test the solution on the inside of your wrist first. Take a dip in the spa. Ashish Kalekar of inhouseremedy. com said, "Nothing chases away a bad case of congestion better than some good ol' steam treatment." If you are lucky enough to have access to a hot tub, this is when to take advantage of it. If not, take a bath or shower and breathe deep. Modify this suggestion if you have fever with steam concentrated on just your face instead of your whole body. Sleep it o f f . After a relaxing bit of heat, change into some comfy clothes and pass out. Psychology Today explained that sleep is one of the most important mechanisms your body employs for healing. offc05Aeviantart.net & 1 .bp.blogspot.

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

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

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

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

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

Participating artists represented many musical genres including rap, screamo and a little plain rock. The bands were judged by a pre-selected panel that looked at categories like crowd response, stage presence and overall likability and appeal. While most of the bands seemed to simply be participating in order to help their fellow students out, the main prize for the winning band was a chance to perform during Welcome Week on campus: a paid gig. Needless to say, all the bands brought their A game, and there was no lack of energy or enthusiasm the entire night. It's refreshing to know that, despite everything that is going on in our busy lives as students, some of us still take the time to help out our fellow classmates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

According to the unrest in the Middle East. With DMV, "driving at 55 mph as gas prices rising an average of 5 compared to 70 mph increases cents a week, AAA predicts that gas mileage by 21 percent." Secone in four Americans will end ond, drivers should move along up paying $5 or more per gallon smooth and easy, with no quick accelerations or stops. The DMV stated that "the faster you accelerate, the more gas you gorge." A driver should pay close attention to the flow of traffic and anticipate how much to accelerate. Although it maybe getting hotter outside, drivers should think twice before turning on the AC, because when in use, it increases gas consumption by 10 percent. Also, looking to roll down the windows to deal with the heat can actually be even worse than using the AC. According to the DMV, once a vehicle is going over 55 mph, the wind drag decreases fuel efficiency more than the AC. The vehicle's maintenance greatly affects fuel efficiency. A certified mechanic stated that cor-. rect tire pressure is essential for fuel efficiency, because the loss of 10 pounds of pressure equals a three to four percent drop in efficiency, Neglecting regular factory maintenance, such as oil and fuel filter changes, can also decrease efficiency up to 20 percent. How, when and where drivers gas up can greatly affect their ability to get the best usage and price for gas. Surprisingly, the early morning or nighttime hours are better times tofillthe tank because in cooler temperatures, gas is denser. This allows drivers to get more "bang for their buck" since gas stations measure by volume. The driver can also get the most out of their gas money by scouting out the cheapest gas prices. AAA's free iPhone application and the Gas Buddy website both allow drivers to find the closest, cheapest gas stations in their area. trip to Rarotonga and really cherish the restful time I had there. Luckily, San Diego's beaches are not far from San Marcos, though none can compare to Rarotonga's picturesque coastline. With a newly acquired taste for fresh coconut milk, and the dis- covery of enjoyment in relaxing in town barefoot, Rarotonga inspired me. Delving into the culture and being a part of a royal wedding made me realize how truly fortunate I have been to see such interesting and beautiful sights. Photo courtesy of greenweetz £om R E L A X IN R A R O T O N G A Enjoy bare feet, exotic waters LEXI POLLARD PRIDE STAFF W RITER Never in my wildest traveling dreams did I imagine a weeklong trip to an island with a circumference of only 20 miles. This island, Rarotonga, captured my interest with not only its unique name but with its intriguing culture and landscape. Located in the Central-Southern Pacific Ocean, Rarotonga is an archipelago in the Cook Islands. My family and I happened to be on this remote island through an invitation to a special event: a wedding between my second cousin and the princess of Rarotonga. In November of 2002, my pre-teen American self met the laid-back nature of Rarotonga. Upon landing on the island, I thought the landscape to be similar to New Zealand with tropical trees and views of a crystal clear ocean. However, a tour in a Ze- bra-striped painted van proved me wrong. Green, luscious plantations covered the island, and I couldn't help but notice the locals walking along the side of the road. Every casually dressed Rarotongan lacked the same article of clothing: shoes. Later, I realized the barefoot trend revealed the island's relaxed atmosphere. Servers at the restaurant at our hotel were barefoot'as well, and what did I do? I indulged in this cultural phenomenon and walked around town barefoot, too. The most vivid image I carry is the pool at our hotel. I remember spending hours in the pool one day, which looked out over the vast ocean. The outskirts of the hotel were dotted with chickens and wild birds that begged for scraps of food. One of the most interesting sights was an abandoned hotel, with windows shattered and crumbling architecture. Its unkempt appearance stood testament to the island's gleefully disheveled personality. During one of the last days of my Rarotongan experience, my family and I attended the wedding of my second cousin and the princess of the island. The wedding, held on a scorching hot day on the white sands of a gorgeous beach, exemplified the culture's relaxed nature. The bride wore delicate sandals, and a flowing gown and presented herself with poise and grace. At the reception, the coconut trees intrigued my cousin and me. The groom helped us retrieve a single tropical seed from the tops of one of the towering trees. Although I attended a wedding on one of the most exotic places on Earth and found adventure on every corner of the island, I most enjoyed the time I spent relaxing. My cousin and I received pedicures at a local spa, lounged by the pool and casually walked around markets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My first meet with my wife Tasted 20 minutes. We established attraction, set another meet and said goodbye. Don't go to dinner or a movie, don't buy roses or coffee or anything for the other person, don't stay longer than 90 minutes, don't overcompliment and definitely don't shake hands. Shaking hands is something friends do and if you're looking to meet "friends" on the Internet, you're wasting your time. Keep in mind that your goal here is to establish attraction and set a real date. Stay fresh, stay cool and don't stay long. Remain somewhat of a mystery—you can always send an email to your mate acknowledging that you had a great time. With these tips in your online dating arsenal, you may have a better chance at finding love— snagging dates like flies in the interwebs. Happy hunting! vvu �TAKE CARE OVER THERE TRAVEL TIPS FOR SPRING BREAK SAFETY J ENNA JAUREGUI FEATURES E DITOR The sober headlines announcing the death of Austin Bice, the SDSU International Business student who was studying abroad in Spain before he went missing in February, emblazoned the reality of travel dangers in stark black and white print. As CSUSM, students will soon leave behind the stress and anxiety of midterm exams and jet away for spring break adventures. Before packing your suitcase, refresh yourself with these travel guidelines that will help ensure a safe return home. Before you pick a destination, check government travel websites to make sure there are no travel alerts or warnings for that area. Unstable government, war, terrorism, natural disasters and disease are all factors that may render a country or state unsafe for tourism. The CSUSM global educa- tion website contains links to these resources and more at csusm. e du/global/travelresources. When deciding what to bring on your trip, keep in mind that you don't want to make yourself a theft target. The website travel.safe.gov advises travelers to "carry the minimum number of valuables, and plan places to conceal them. Your passport, cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe. When you have to carry them on your person, you may wish to put them each in a different place rather than all in one wallet or pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny packs and outside pockets that are easy targets for thieves. Inside pockets and a sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest are somewhat safer. One of the safest places to carry valuables is in a pouch or money belt worn under your clothing." Additionally, students should educate themselves about the laws of the state or country before beginning a trip. According to information on studentsabroad. state.gov, "Your U.S. citizenship does not make you exempt from full ^prosecution under another country's criminal justice system, and the U.S. government cannot bail you out. Many countries impose harsh penalties for violations that would be considered minor in the United States, and unlike in the U.S., you may be considered guilty until proven innocent. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, so be informed." Also be sure to secure proper documentation and any vaccinations needed to enter the country. Once you arrive, exercise street smarts. You may be there to enjoy the nightlife, beaches and throngs of fun loving "spring breakers," but enter the scene with a level head. Studentsabroad.state.gov says to avoid underage and excessive alcohol consumption, avoid drugs and drug use, use only li- Photo courtesy of blogstatravel.com censed and regulated transportation, avoid carrying weapons, and be conscientious. Take precautions—don't gamble with your safety. Make sure that you don't go off alone and that someone you trust always knows were you are. Doing so may save your life. These guidelines may help students to make wise choices and have fun while traveling, but their execution depends on you. Educate, control, and enjoy yourself this spring break—globetrotting can lead to amazing experiences if done the right way. A S K THÉ C O W : PATINA AN?

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

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

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

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

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

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

The proposal by President Obama comes three days after the House Republicans suggested to lower the maximum award of $5,550 to $4,015 a move Kantrowitz describes as "...part of a larger package of budget cuts that seek to cut spending by $100 billion for the remainder of the current fiscal year." These significant changes mean that CSUSM can potentially face losing around $7.2 million in tuition. The institution plans to send congress a joint letter signed by three other university presidents urging congress not to approve any cuts. Vaughan also recommends that students "We a re d eeply c oncerned a bout t he p roposed c uts t o Pell G rants a nd b oth t he s hort and l onger i mpact t hese c uts w ould have o n o ur s tudents and o ur r egion .Well over 3 ,000 C SUSM s tudents r eceive Pell G rants t o f und t heir college e ducation.

Watchers of CNN last week saw that President Barack Obama, along with House Republicans, have each proposed separate budget plans for the 2011-12 fiscal year that, if approved, would include initiatives to cut the federal Pell Grant program. Currently the program faces a $20 billion deficit. The budget posted on the White House website explains that the president's cuts would eliminate the in-school interest subsidy for graduate students and limit the total number of recipients receiving year-round aid, while the House cuts would reduce the total maximum amount of the aid. The leaders have introduced their respective plans to address the program's deficit, and CSUSM officials say that both plans have the potential to affect CSUSM students. $3,240 in 2011-12, a total decrease of $2,310. To avoid this, the president is proposing to cut other student aid funding such as yearround Pell Grants and subsidized interest on student loans to graduate and professional students. "Under the president's proposal, the maximum award would remain at $5,550 while cuts would be made in other areas. The year-round benefit typically only affects for-profit colleges, which are more likely to have students studying year-round without a summer break," explains Kantrowitz. Eliminating the in-school interest subsidy will likely have a greater impact on CSUSM students as education begins to cost more. Kantrowitz writes, "...losing the subsidized interest benefit will add $1,676 to each $8,500 loan balance by the time the student en- interested in taking action against these cuts "[F]irst and foremost contact their representatives and let them know that students have a voice and that they be heard." CSUSM Official statement: We are deeply concerned about the proposed cuts to Pell Grants and both the short and longer impact these cuts would have on our students and our region. Well over 3,000 CSUSM students receive Pell Grants to fund their college education. Without Pell Grants, a large number of students may not have the means to continue their college education denying our region a pool of skilled and educated workers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

CSUSM improves to 7-5 on the year. Azusa drops to 6-4. The second game of Friday's scheduled double-header was rained out, but the cloudy skies did nothing to dampen the spirit of the CSUSM Cougars, who were anxious to get back in the win column after four straight losses. Kretchmer was the story, as the tall lefty turned in a no-hit effort that was only halted by a high pitch count and a little wildness. The senior walked six and a ctu^ ally allowed a run, but struck out five and silenced Azusa's bats.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tadros reflects, "Egyptians might not know what democracy actually means, but that does not make the concept any less desirable. Perhaps it is precisely its vagueness and abstraction that makes the concept all the more desirable." Furthermore, a democracy is Egypt would no doubt attract fringe groups who will want to either disrupt or join the party. General Peters acknowledges that troubles when he wrote, "none of this is meant to pretend away the potential trouble Muslim fundamentalists might cause over time, whether it's the Muslim Brotherhood at the polls, or al Qaeda are ignoring the revolution to write stories about the boo-boo's they've received while covering the riots. In response to the American coverage of the events Tadros wrotes, "El Baradei is nothing.

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

In sum, "Tucson reminded us that no matter who we are or where we come from, each of us is a part of something greater—something more consequential than party or political preference."

He then took what is typically a Republican issue and made it his own when he asked for the divided Congress to reexamine the tax code.

On the debt and deficit issue, he called for a reorganization of the executive branch, and major budget freezes for the next five years.

Lt. Choi argued in an open letter to Congress and President Obama that the policy was unconstitutional and actually hindered military effectiveness, "My subordinates know I 'm gay. They don't care. They are professional." The policy was originally supported by the idea that the presence of openly homosexual members in the military would pose risks t o the order, morale, and cohesiveness in the military atmosphere. However, over 17 years, many like Lt. Choi have worked to discredit this idea and instead argue that forcing service members to lie about their identity created more of a hindrance on military effectiveness and morality while simultaneously perpetuating the same moral problem the policy was intended to diminish. However, the repeal of the D on't Ask, Don't Tell policy has not been made official. Though the repeal was passed in both the Senate and the House, and President Obama has signed it into law, the bill requires that the president, Defense Secretary and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff must each certify that the bill will not detract from military readiness. From there, the military has 60 days to officially implement the repeal. Local San Diego Representative Duncan Hunter has introduced the Restore Military Readiness Act which would require additional signatures for the repeal's implementation. This could potentially threaten the fate of the Don't Ask, D on't Tell repeal by slowing down its implementation and extending the status quo. While the congressional passage of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal has slowly opened closet doors for many homosexual service members, it might still be a matter of time before they are able to take the first step out.

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

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

Pop culture magazines show photos of celebrities who tote around Whole Foods paper shopping bags. According to Wholefood.com, the chain commits to 'selling the highest quality natural and organic products.' There are more than 300 locations in the U.S., Canada and United Kingdom combined. Whole Foods originated out of Austin, TX in 1980. The website reveals the store sells all natural meats that farmers or ranchers treated humanely. Whole Foods offers a loan program to local producers of food as well, because they believe that local businesses need a chance to grow and develop. Whole Foods is pricier than all the other health food stores listed. The only Whole Foods close to campus is located in La Jolla.

The sudden abundance of Hallmark sentiments and mass-market romance presents a misleading interpretation of the holiday: that everyone needs a Valentine or significant other in order to enjoy and appreciate this day for lovers. However, since its origination, celebrations and meanings behind Valentine's Day are constantly evolving. If you find yourself single this Valentine's Photo courtesy offlickr.com U ï VALENTINE'S DAY IS NOT JUST FOR COUPLES Day, maybe it's time to re-define the way you celebrate love. The modern observance of Valentine's Day, which often includes fancy restaurant dinners and heart-shaped jewelry, has changed drastically since its ancient origin. According to History .com, Valentine's Day began in Rome under dreary social conditions during the rule of Emperor Claudius II. Legend states that Claudius outlawed marriage in order to raise a powerful army of unattached young soldiers. In retaliation, a courageous priest named Valentine performed secret marriages for lovers. The month of February signaled a time for fertility and purification to the ancient Romans. In these times, women were the ob- ject of superstitious ceremonies rather than celebrated as romantic partners. The Roman men sacrificed goats, and boys roamed the streets slapping women with strips of hide in order to encourage fertility. In addition to the hide slapping, women put their names in a lottery to be paired with a man. Fortunately, secretive marriages, hide slapping and pairing lotteries no longer mark the celebration of Valentine's Day, and people are free to tailor their celebrations to match their individual views of the holiday. The predictable dinner and a movie, flowers, candy and gift exchanges present couples with some ideas for Valentine's Day, but what about those currently out of a relationship? For singles, the absence of a romantic valentine may contribute to a day filled with pessimistic cynicism. However, there are many possibilities for an enjoyable day if singles change their perspective. Generosity, kindness and loVe can be openly and vastly expressed to friends and family. If Facebqok love quizzes and Cupid's arrow can't generate romance, get creative! Activities to inspire love and show care on Valentine's Day include time spent making homemade cards for family and friends, leaving encouraging post-it notes for roommates, volunteering time and making a donation to charity. Cards, whether homemade or store-bought, don't have to be traditionally romantic, but thoughtful messages to loved ones. Photo courtesy ofAlexis Pollard The University Village Apartments offers other ways to give gifts. "We have candy grams and Valentine's for Veterans to honor and support U.S. military members and veterans," UVA staff member Bbwie Tintle said. Whether the gifts or thoughts of Valentine's Day cause excitement, dread or indifference, expression of love doesn't have to be thrown in a negative light by those who scorn the holiday. As Ashton Kutcher said in the film "Valentine's Day," "Love is the only shocking act left on the planet." So celebrate all forms of love this Valentine's Day and enjoy the company of those you hold dear. �grptríh's csusm TERm HiTÍ MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR SOFTBALL UPDATE Brenna Sandberg took the Lady Cougars on her back, carrying the softball team to four wins and a first place finish in the Best of the West Tournament at Pedretti Park in Turlock, C A, Feb. 5 -6.

Brittany Boone threw a complete game in a 15-1 beating against Dominican in game three. The Cougars move to 5-1 on the year. Campfield Brings Home the Gold Medal Mile f or CSUSM WEEKEND RESULTS BASEBALL correr: a look c r p t r ì f i s previeui MICHAEL RAWSON SPORTS EDITOR As the spring season opens, a f ew Cal State San Marcos athletes are putting in a bit of extra time behind the desk. This year, the captains of each squad have been asked to write a preview of their season's schedule, looking forward to upcoming events and key players. These previews have been aptly titled "Captain's Corner," and are available on the Cougar athletics website, csusmcougars.com. According to Sports Information Director Kyle Trembley, the brains behind the project belong to m en's track and field captain Brett Campfield. The track star, a junior transfer f rom Princeton, approached the athletic department over the winter break with the idea that since captains were designated by their respective teams as representatives, they should to be the ones telling their fans what to expect. Campfield shows off his Ivy írsíce spams the ssasan lcckí an uieí League mind in his entry, explaining the importance of teamwork in an individual sport like track and field. "Watching a teammate battle and compete at their very best is contagious, and makes one also willing to put everything on the line f or the team," he said. a.m. and then have an 18-hole qualifier," she said. "This year, coach made a new rule: we have to run a mile f or every 3-putt we have during qualifying." Cole also said the women's golf team arrives at Lake San Marcos Country Club at 6:30 Four short essays were u p on the website as of Saturday, including those by w omen's golf captain Stephanie Cole, m en's golf captain Adam Loran, w omen's track andfieldcaptain Jessica Sandoval. Cole, a junior, shared some particularly insightful information about the time athletes spend in preparation. "Every Friday, we all attend a yoga class at 6:30 a.m. daily, running drills and playing as many holes as possible until class begins around 10 a.m. Sophomore Loran shared his hopes f or the senior-less m en's golf team. "Comprised of eight men, we rely on team unity and consistency to make it to the top," he said. Sandoval had quite a bit more to cover, due to the massive size ÌÌTi of the women's track team. There are currently 54 athletes on the official roster. The junior f rom Oceanside offered plenty of inside information on the squad's organization, and explained to fans unfamiliar to the sport what some events are comprised o f. For example, "Coach Scott is also composing a relay team that will either run the 4x800 meters or the distance medley relay in which every person runs a different distance, beginning with 1200 meters, then 400 meters, 800 meters, and the last leg runs 1600 meters," she said. A f ew weeks into the season, the baseball and softball teams are currently unrepresented in the Captain's Corner. Still, Campfield and the athletic department have received positive feedback f rom the project, and they are hopeful to feature previews f rom the two remaining captains, Trembley said. For now, the four "Corners" make up a group of fascinating essays that are worth a read, written by CSUSM athletes who are anything but square.

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

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

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

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

On May 2011, three graduation ceremonies will be held at the Mangrum Track and Field allowing seating for approximately 3,000 guests. Guests do not require tickets, but students are suggested to bring immediate family only or no more than 10 guests each. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Each graduate needs tofillout an RSVP form confirming attendance to walk for graduation and informing the Commencement Office of how many guests each graduate anticipates will attend. Submit an RSVP form by visiting www.csusm.edu/commencement. Although graduation may seem months away, making early preparations help the big day run smoother. Gradfest, a special "Grad only" event offers graduates cap and gown sales, photo frames for diplomas, class rings, photography packages and everything that a graduate would need. Gradfest will be held March 15,10 a.m. - 4 p.m., March 16,10 a.m. - 7 p.m., and March 17,10 a.m. 4 p.m. at the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon.

Graduation announcements may be also purchased online through Herff Jones by visiting www.herffjones , c o m / c o l l eg t i c s u s m . Graduates earning academic honors receive a gold cord , on the day of their ceremony. These honors are calculated based on the semester prior to graduation.

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

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

For me, that place is Oslo, Norway, the city in which my lovely girlfriend and CSUSM alumnus lives. As this trip marked my third time visiting Oslo, I began to see what the locals of this renowned city always call "the real city." Although the tourist traps tend to attract most who visit Norway, those locations still have their enchantments. Though Oslo goes unnoticed by many a Eu- Os/o ) /sfoFùOCy ropean traveler, it has become one of the most romantic places in the world. See it with someone you love—or someone you are planning to fall in love with. Aker Brygge, an area consisting of docks, former warehouses and storage buildings lining the Oslo-fjord, has become the city's center attraction. Bustling restaurants, businesses and a shopping mall have overtaken the old fishing center. A visit in the summer can land you on a posh, floating bar on the water, but a winter visit might be even more romantic: try" ordering a couple of coffees and cake—traditional Norwegian "kaffe og kake"—and have a seat outside at one of the many pa- 1 JANUARY 25TH, 2011 Photo courtesy ofMichael Rawson S e e t h e c i t y like a tios lining the docks. The booths are lined with cozy Norwegian furs and heat lamps are plentiful. Meanwhile, you are treated to a view of the snow-glazed coast and calm Norwegian sea. Norway has the world's wealthiest per-capita income, and the scenery reflects those numbers. The "T-bane," the city's subway system, features new trains built by Porsche. Sleek, elegant and very fast, the T-bane can take you across the city in no time. Even so, I have found that the Trikk— the older trolley system—can be a much more exciting way to get to your destination. Magnificent views are always abundant, featuring views of Oslo's many old Norwegian buildings and sights like Holmenkollen, the fantastic modern ski jump perched on a mountainside. If you are riding the T-bane to a restaurant, hopefully it's authentic Norwegian cuisine! The cold fish, shrimp or Brie cheese sandwiches are delicious, and sliced bread and "brunost"— brown cheese—are a must-try. I still have yet to gather the guts to taste Norwegian reindeer stew, but eating fishballs with steamed potatoes and vegetables covered in white sauce makes me feel like a local. If traditional food isn't on your menu, Oslo features some of the world's finest ethnic cuisines. This time around, we agreed that the food at Jaipur, an would enchanting Indian place right in the middle of the city served the best Indian food either of us had ever tasted. Another favorite is kabob, a late night Greek/Middle Eastern treat beloved by Norwegians though you can find kabob all across the European continent. The Norwegian people are especially quiet and reserved, but here's another detail one might not notice the first time around: They are among the nicest and most hospitable hosts on the planet. My visits to Oslo are always* "hyggileg" and "koselig:" warm, pleasant, comfortable and generally lovely.

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

But wait, there's more, The 55 Yardline has something to offer trivia buffs as well. Wednesday nights, starting directly after happy hour, the bar has a trivia competition that anyone can enter. Play as a team or individually, it doesn't matter! The bar offers prizes to the top three places. First place receives a $45 gift certificate for their next visit, second place receives $25 and third place receives $10.

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

Gov, Schwarzenegger unvéîïècfto the state legislature his budget for f iscal year 20102011, which would restore $305 million to the CSU budget. Alongside that, the new budget would also allocate an additional $60.6 million to account for enrollment growth. The restoration of f unds lost in the so-called "one-time" budget cuts of2009-2010 is good news for the CSU system and higher education in California as a whole, which has suffered heavily during California's most recent budget crisis. Though this is certainly good news for an ailing university system, California must receive a base amount of federal aid before it extends the additional $60.6 million in aid. The other $305 million restored in the proposed budget would not be a ffected by this requirement. Just days before revealed his new budget, Gov. Schwarzenegger said in his State of the State address, "Because our f uture economic well-being is so dependent upon education, I will protect education f unding in t his budget. We can no longer a fford to cut higher education." In the same speech Governor Schwarzenneger pointed to the longstanding discrepancy between f unding for prisons and higher education as an impetus for r e-prioritizing higher education in government spending p rograms.

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

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

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

To get somewhat philosophical, what you wear communicates the essence of your three w's: who you are, what you're about, and what you believe. Basically, you are what you wear,; which is why a pair of sparkly gold TOMS have recently won me over. Prior to falling in love with sequins, I thought TOMS to be the most unattractive piece of shoe wear in America, but put sequins on anything and 1 WILL buy it. In this case, my beloved sequins found themselves on a pair of TOMS and my wild desire to own them led to some research on what the shoe company is all about. TOMS, short for Shoes four years later to do volunteer work and was astounded by the number of children who roamed barefoot, thus the TOMS project was born. Mycoskie enlisted craftsmen from Argentina to design a durable canvas shoe modeled by the ropesoled alpargatas - handmade canvas slippers worn by local farmers. For many children in third world countries, owning a pair of shoes allows them to receive an education, otherwise denied to them by schools that prohibit attendance to barefoot students, based on health and hygienic concerns. In most of the countries where TOMS are distributed, walking is a primary mode of transportation. Walking with no shoes makes bare feet susceptible to cuts, sores, and parasitical infections contracted from contaminated soil, which often lead to amputation, or death. These debilitating infections are absolutely preventable by wearing shoes! In 2009, Mycoskie was awarded the ACE award by Hillary Clinton which acknowledged his "leadership and innovation in the global industry." Recently, Ralph Lauren was invited to guest design a line of vegan-friendly TOMS. Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and even the great Karl Lagerfeld (even my computer knows who he is, I was just spell-checked) are also TOMS supporters. Whether we'll ever see a pair of TOMS on a Chanel catwalk remains to be seen, but the message is clear: what we wear is who we are.

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

According to Starbucks, com, Starbucks has pledged to donate $1 million to the Red Cross in addition to what it is able to collect from customers at its stores. Bank of America is also accepting donations for the Red Cross. Phone companies are accepting donations via text messages.

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

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

As the main provider of electricity and natural gas for San Diego County, the company is gearing up for the next round of heavy rainfall expected later this week1. In a news release last week SDG&E's Vice President, David L. Geier, gave greater insight into why these outages have occurred. "Wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour inland and even stronger gusts in the mountains have blown tree branches and other debris into our lines causing outages." The company mobilized as much of its available staff as possible in response to last weeks storm, highlighting the severity of the last round of rain to pass through.

For those that might remember, I started here as News Editor back in 2007 and moved up to the Managing Editor spot for most of 2008. After taking a year off to serve as President of the Great Zeta Beta Tau fraternity in 2009,1 was asked to resurrect the News section. It's what I do best and I couldn't be happier to be get back to where my love for journalism first came to fruition. I'm eager to shake off the dust and step back into this exciting and volatile atmosphere so r eadyfor a big turn around in 2010! Welcome back! This is my fourth semester as your Business Manager here at The Pride and my last. I will be graduating with my Bachelors in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing on May 15,2010 which is exactly 108 days from now. (not like I'm keeping count or anything) I am married to the guy who has the same last name as me.. ..hmmm which one of the editors could it be? We have been married just about 4 months now, it's crazy how time just flies on by. We have the most awesome dog, Harrison, he's a Westie and for those of you who don't know what a Westie is.. .well you are definitely missing out! I am a really compassionate person and enjoy talking with people...so if you see me around campus say hi. Let me know what you want to see out of YOUR Student Newspaper because at the end of the day we are here for you, the students. My name is Amy and I'm the Editor in Chief with the lovely Sandra Chalmers for my fifth (yes, fifth) semester at The Pride. I'm in the second half of my junior year as a 21-year-old Literature and Writing major, but I've yet to convince my professors to teach any of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's work, which is astounding considering how fantastic the man's poetry is. I like cats, Qoffee, and cosmology, but hate driving and leaving voicemails. And I think listening to (and . enjoying) Radiohead should be a law. I also think Ben's bio is way better than mine. �Features THE PRIDE Jf H elf|l My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am working closely with my friend Amy Salisbury as we together are the new Editors in Chief for The Pride Student Newspaper. I have been working with The Pride since the fall of 2008 as a staff writer then progressed as an assistant Features editor to my most recent position as Arts and Entertainment editor last semester. Writing and journalism is one of my favorite things along with coffee, muffins and Panera. Bill This is my sixth semester with The Pride, and if everything goes well, I will be graduating this spring with a degree in Literature and Writing. From there I hope to get my teaching credential and teach high school writing, as well as writing non-fiction on the side. For now, I look forward to continuing my weekly column and writing for art and entertainment.* On the more interesting side, I grew up in Buffalo, NY, but moved here to start college when my dad got a job transfer. Thus, I have an affinity for chicken wings, or as the locals call them, just wings. In my free time, I enjoy watching Western and sci-fifilms,being with my beloved girlfriend of more than three years, and preparing for the zombie apocalypse. Rudif Well hello there. My name is Rudy. I'm your Layout Editor. You're probably thinking "Wow... this looks like a kindergartener drew this! I think my dog (or cat, hamster, turtle, elephant, fish) could have done a better job!" Did I nail it? No? oh well... guess I should give up my other job as a psychic. Anyways, this is my final semester, that means I get a fancy piece of paper that says I graduated with a degree in business administration with an emphasis in Management Information Systems in 2010 from Cal State San Marcos, or something like that. Either way I'm way stoked. I also work on campus in the IITS department and hope to pursue a career^in^either doing graphic design (hey don't judge me on my stick figured t teve other work!), or something in the IT field. Last semester I got married to Kristina (yes, that one right [well, left] over there) last semester in October, I also can't wait until we graduate so we can finally go on our honeymoon! In my free time I enjoy taking random day trips to various places in So Cal with Kristina and our dog Harrison, going to Disneyland and playing video games (add me on Live Rudyx760). This was actually much more than I had anticipated on writing, which is fine for me, you don't have to keep reading. You could have stopped after "hello," but thanks for sticking with it. I really enjoy laying out the news paper, and look forward to doing the last issues. With that said, I am looking for a replacement, so if you enjoy designing stuff and at least are fairly familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator, email me at pridelayout@gmail.com or stop me around campus. Tuesday, January 26, 2009__Q �ó Sports Tuesday, January 26, 2 0 0 9 THE PRIDE I C al State S an M arcos Softball: 2 010 season preview BY KYLE TREMBLEY Cal State San Marcos softball is coming home. For the three years of its existence, CSUSM softball has played and practiced at Mission Hills High School. Though the field is j ust a few minutes f rom campus, and hundreds of f ans have showed up for big home games, the team has never enjoyed a t rue home-field advantage. Until now. Head Coach Dave Williams, who joined the University last summer, made completing the field on campus his top priority f rom day one. With help f rom the Athletics Department and generous contributions f rom parents, companies, and community members, the long-planned field was built f rom the ground-up in j ust a few short months. Located on campus j ust behind the Clarke Field House in the University's large dirt " front yard," the tentativelynamed CSUSM Softball Field will play host to every softball home game this year - 24 total games across 12 home dates, s tarting on January 30th. As for the team that will call the field home, Coach Williams is confident that this year's veteran-heavy squad has the talent and experience necessary to earn the program's first trip to Nationals. He would know - a fter taking over as Head Coach at Point Loma in 1998, his teams posted seven 40-win seasons, t hree 50-win seasons, and two NA1A National Runner-Up finishes. Under Williams, Point Loma has placed in the top-10 at Nationals every year since 2001, and took f ifth last year. For the Cougars, last year was the program's most successful to date. The squad went 34-23, earning a trip to the A.I.I. Conference Tournament and making it all the way to the finals before being defeated by the University of Houston - Victoria. CSUSM finished the season ranked #20 nationally. While the home game setting will be entirely different in 2010, Cougar f ans will recognize most everyone t aking the field. T hanks to the youth on last year's team, only two of the squad's sixteen players are newcomers. It's no secret that softball starts with A DVERTIZING I S E ASY AS 1-2-3 1. C HOOSE A D SIZE. 2 .

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

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

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

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

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

I t's still one of my all-time favorite songs nearly a decade later. To me, the song was perfeet. R ufus's buttery baritone and the gentle instrumentation were almost t6o good to be true. But the lyrics—oh, the lyrics—were beyond anything else I'd heard. In fact, they're still so unbelievably poetic, calling the composition a "song" doesn't even seem fair. And you know how I feel about poetic music. The respect I had for R ufus writing this song grew exponentially once YouTube happened, and a quick search of "Hallelujah" exposed trie to hundreds upon hundreds of 1 covers, including the achingly poignant version by the late Jeff Buckley. OK; I thought, people j ust realize "Hallelujah" is indeed an excellent song, even if it is butchered on occasion. At some point, I listened to what I assumed was Leonard Cohen covering the song. Unfortunately, as talented as the man is in poetry (check out "The SpiceBox of Earth"), he j ust isn't grabbing my attention with this spoken word thing he has going on when my dear R ufus makes the song nearly operatic. To my surprise, I finally came across the copyrighted song credits: words and music by Leonard Cohen. Cohen, a writer-turnedmusician, composed "Hallelujah" in 1981 for his 1984 imagecourtesyof Adalah-NY album "Various ~ Positions", album. I can't tell you why, but that sounds nice than one that Initially, the track wasn't too I can assume that most people clearly surpasses the level of successful; neither was the would rather listen to a song art present in most modern music. And let's be honest here, Cohen hasn't got the most melodious set of pipes in all the land. Even though the aesthetics of the work left something to be desired, listeners recognized where the beauty lies in C ohfu's most famous work. f odny^Vohe^'s o fficial website documents over 300 authorize&^Qyers by signed artists, m aaydi which * catapulted artists to stardom.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Printed In USA. 20904324{49)-09/09-GRD New Moon Soundtrack BY AMY SALISBURY Copy Editor Try as I might, sometimes I just cannot escape the looming nature of pop culture. I know what I like, and most of the time am able to stick with my books, my movies, and my music. But something odd happened this week. I listened to the New Moon soundtrack. After my: initial shock ofrealiz­ing what I had done, I rechecked the tracklisting: Death Cab for Cutie, Grizzly Bear, Thom Yorke, The Killers, Bon Iver, among others. This couldn't be the soggy-sweet pop record surely matched with the Twilight franchise. Subjectivity aside (irony included), I feel I should make my ignorance of Twilight known. I saw the first Twilight movie and didn't read any ofthe books, and never had any intent to see New Moon. Still, I had the idea that Twilight was for weird 14-year-olds and weirder people with vampire fetishes. I do realize that there are legitimate fans who enjoy the writing immensely, but that generaliza­tion remains among non-fans ofthe series (i.e., most males and the oddball girl). But this record had some serious music on it. Things just didn't add up, and nothing explained it. The real shock here is that Thom Yorke's track, "Hearing Damage," is exclusive to the soundtrack. Yorke, along with his band Radiohead, left their record label and have essentially released works on their own terms since. So speculation might lead the listener to believe Yorke thought New Moon was relevant enough to be the vehicle BY SANDRA CHALMERS Arts & Entertainment Editor Enjoy a good lunch with some good music Students can enjoy live music at the Big Cat Food Court this Wednesday from 12-lpm outside under the patio shade. CalJed "Radical Tunes," the Big Cat Food Court and Cougar Shops have started a new tradition to offer live music for students to enjoy while eating their lunch. "We want to further develop a fun and exciting atmosphere at the Big Cat Food Court and support "Student Life" on campus," said Tipper Philips, marketing specialist for the University Auxiliary and Research Services Corporations (UARSC). ''Having good music with good food and drink is an out­standing opportunity to improve the envi­ronment in the Big Cat Food Court." Having two prior performances, Phil­ips says it's a new tradition that is still in its early stages of development. "We just started this and are feeling out the interest level." With the office of Global studies offer­ing international week at CSUSM Nov 16-19, the Big Cat Food Court celebrates it its own way by featuring a different inter­national menu item each day. Flavors from around the world are offered to students for a chance to taste recipes from overseas and other foreign lands. The new menu items are only for a lim­ ited time and end on Thursday, Nov. 19. Menu items prices will vary. Musical groups performing vary in genres and performance opportunities are available if any students interested in per­ forming with their band are able to contact Tipper Phillips at tphillip@csusm.edu or by phone 760-750-4718. They will need to provide a recording/CD ofwhat they would like to perform. "Our goal is to try and have musical per­formances most Wednesdays but we have a limited budget and are not able to com­pensate everyone for their efforts," contin­ued Philips. "We are excited about this and hope to be able to support new student life experiences here at Cal State Sao Marcos." Limited Time International Menu Items: Monday: Thai Thai Peanut Chicken Satay. Tuesday: Mediterranean Lemon Chicken with Tabouli and Medi­terranean Salsa. Wednesday: Indian Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry and Basmati Rice. Thursday: Italian Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich with Pomodoro Sauce, Spinach and Mozzarella on toasted Focaccia. Image courtesy ofamazon.com for his individual track release. Boo Iver, one of the newest staples to indie music, appears with an achingly beautiful track called "Rosyln." End­lessly successful band The Killers offer "A White Demon Lover," a song reflect­ing more of their first album's style that took them so far. Even Lupe Fiasco makes an appearance with "Solar Midnite," an unusual song befitting the general tone of the soundtrack. I figure you can make one of two conclusions about this: all these artists subjected themselves to the world of the Twilight cultural phenomenon "just because they could, or they took advan­tage of Twilight's success to get their music heard by people outside their fan­base. Or, music editors Charles Martin Inouye and Gerard McCann just liked these songs as much as I did and found they fit great with the cinematography. Whatever the case, the soundtrack is a serious success, exactly the complement expected for New Moon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Come stare at the Men Who Stare at Goats in a theater near you! BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer "The Men Who Stare at Goats," which opened Nov. 6, 2009, starred Ewan McGregor as a very different type of Jedi than viewers have seen him portray before. McGregor plays Bob Wilton, a down oii his luck journalist who travels to Kuwait to sniff out a story. While there, he runs into Lin "Skip" Cassidy, played by George Clooney, who introduces him to "The New Earth Army" which is a unit of the army aimed to find alternative and non-violent forms of combat such as psychic power and Jedi-like mental manipulation. In flashbacks, the camouflaged soldiers practiced yoga, grew out long hair, exchanged flowers, and danced to Billy Idol as part of their training. Skip explains the history, fall, and rebuilding of this program to Bob as they head through sand dunes and war zones on what seems to be a wild goose chase, or more literally, a wild goat chase. The most enjoyable part of this film is the healthy mixture of dry satire and slapstick humor. The dialogue is simply phenomenal, and the chemistry between McGregor as a serious journalist and Clooney as a whimsical, yet serious "Jedi Warrior" is spot on. Surprisingly, McGregor never breaks the fourth wall with quite a few instances of quoting lines from "Star Wars" movies in which he played the young Obi Wan Kenobi. The humor comes from the context and delivery of lines, and it is never self-referen- tial. George Clooney is always very entertaining to watch, and although many of his fast-talking alpha-male characters tend to be somewhat static, this film really delves into Skip's memories, ethical conflicts, beliefs, and his growth over time. Flashbacks make up a large portion of this movie, and they range from heart touching to sidesplitting, but some of them drag on too long for the pacing of the plot. At times, the flashback goes on for so long that the viewer may forget where the characters are in the present. The opening scenes, a title screen claims "more of this is true than you'd believe." This may seem laughable in that it is basically a movie about men staring so hard at goats that their hearts actually stop. However, when it comes to issues such as maturity, disappointment, budding friendships, and personal ethics, the movie is indeed very true to life. This movie is completely hilari- ous from the wacky visuals to the sly writing, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a few hearty belly laughs complete wijh a side of emotion and inspiration. flow like few other films. At least it did for me. I went in well warned and still it hit hard. The film has very much to recommend, like "Yesterday" on all levels. In this film, there is not only great cinematography but also some scenes that will take your breath awayfromtheir fairytale surrealism. The scenes take the viewers back in time of simple summer love that grows into something extraordinary. The one potentially weak aspect of the film was the slow and, what I felt, plodding start. Most great films don't seem to risk potentially losing viewers early on, but the risk pays off handsomely in this film. Irffect, the emotion builds steadily throughout the entire film like a locomotive, and then unloads on you all at once. This is a knockout piece. If you know love, then this film is a must see. If you don't know love, then watch this film and you will. What to See***** "Thelma and Louise" is a galpal movie starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. Yes, as a movie reviewer (of age), I should have seen this film long before now, but being married assures that no chick flick goes unviewed. Chick Flick is not a derogatory term, it just delineates that die film is geared to a female audience, just as Jackie Chan films are aimed afguys. Once again, this is a top-flight production with great performances by the leading ladies, and great support from Harvey Keitel. It seems that this film has developed not only a cult following, but has grown to reach nearly mythological proportions as a tour de force for empowering women. It runs the range of emotions from serious to giddy, and even ventures into campy waters at times. Perhaps the one thing that does tie these three films tightly together is the impression they will each emblazon on your memory. So take your friends' hands and take a fly at these three greatfilms.What to See **** Image courtesy of Overture Films W hat to see on DVD BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer How does one present movies filled with sadness and make them desirable to see? Perhaps by trying to lode at the silver lining and these films contain that silver lining, but I'll leave it to you to find them This wedi, these threefilmswould be difficult to categorize other than to say they are excellent. Although they share sadness, they diverge in many other ways. Some believe that to truly appreciate joy one must truly experience sorrow. So if you want to watch some movies to get you happy, here we go. "Yesterday" is a story about the title character, a South African woman, and her struggles to get by in a remote village. By our standards of living, her standard is poor at best, but we should seefromher strength and joyous outlook on life, that maybe her standard of living is not poor in contrast to ours, only different She hasayoung daughter named Beauty and a husband who works far away in a mine to support the family. The story takes a hard look at AIDS and HIV in South Africa and provides what seems an honest, albeit harsh, look at the problem. All aspects of this film excel, from the screenplay to the acting, cinematography, to the story itself. There are no weak points to this film. For that reason, it is well worth watching, but if you look for the deeper meaning, buried just below the surface, you will berichlyrewarded What to See**** "The Notebook," starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams will touch you in ways and make the tears pcrfEi • HilMMMNi Image courtesy of New Line Cinema � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

ASI holds Love Yoúf Body event BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday October 29 during university hour, men and women alike visited the Library Plaza and participated in "Love Your Body Day." The plaza was f ull of booths, giveaways, and activities encouraging students to love their bodies. The ASI Women's Center put on this event for the fourth year in a row, but the National Organization for Women (NOW) started this event 12 years ago. Jessica Castro, a Women's Center peer educator and the coordinator of "Love Your Body D ay" described it as "an event about positive body image." The NOW website descepáis it as a day encouraging wqújga*tó "fight b ack" against cosmetic, fashion, and diet industries which "work hard to make each of us believe that our bodies are unacceptable and need constant improvement" in order to sell their products. The event on campus included tables by organizations f rom on and o ff campus promoting positive body image, health, and athletics. Clif Bar gave out f ree samples of the LUNA bar which they market towards women, and Froyo Love gave f ree yogurt to anyone who got a card stamped to prove he or she had checked i | n at every booth. §^Sttident Health and Counseling Services representatives Cathy Nguyen, a health educator, and Shannon Starnater, an intern, talked to students about healthy habits and remind them that they have access to nutritional counselors. One popular table at t he event was one at which people could color drawings of a vagina with crayons. Melissa R odriguez of t he Women's Center explained that t he coloring sheets were " for the inner child in all of u s t o get more f amiliar with their vagina and to not t hink of them as ugly or scary," and explained that children o ften Photos by Maeve Camplisson learn t hrough coloring books and worksheets. The Women's Center had another booth selling pink shirts, which read, " Start a revolution. Stop hating your body." They also gave away buttons with various empowering messages. The LGBTA club set up a table against domestic violence, and J ennifer Meneray, club president, explained to visitors that domestic violence can be committed by anyone and towards anyone no matter their gender, despite popular stereotypes. The Pride Center gave away f ree bracelets and supplies while visitors had the o pportunity t o write and draw positive messages inside a traced body. �TEP D H RE I Faces & Places Way, Watch out the Tea Party Express is abouti Money Management BY JAMES ROCHE Pride S taff Writer Depending on whom you are and how much you keep track ofthe news and politics, you may have heard that the Tea Party Express arrived in San Diego last Sunday at Tuna Harbor Park.

Other states being visited include Alabama, Louisiana and most notably Texas, which has the most stops on the schedule with 7. As t heJgsy|8B was in S p Diego I fektisfe^v^inldeal opportunity to invest^gate j ust w ^at the Tea jfearty Express supportirs were actually protesting a bout Upon arriving I sdw ffaeq? was j£&rowd gathering, m ^ y holding t iigns expressing their views. "Just Say No to the O," "Socialists are just thieves with an education," "Obama don't attack our freedom of Xpression, What are you afraid of, the truth?" I decided to interview a few local residents about why they were at the protest and what they thought of their President of the United States. One man said, "I stood up against communism when I was in the Navy and now they're in the White House." Ha^was worried about his grandchildren and their future ifthe country continued the way he thought it was going. He also talked about his views on health care, he said, "It's not about giving health care, it's about controlling the people." _ Another protestor shared similar views, she said, "It's a move towards socialism, taking over the health care system, appointing tsars. We need to reform the health care system, not replace i t" When asked about their thoughts on Obama they seem to respond negatively towards the President, one man said, "He's pathetic. He's put all the tsars in the white house, he starting out with socialism. If he gets a second term the country will be in a hell of a situation." Other pvrotestors went further, "He's completely t akingthe country in the wrong direction. He's not done anything. He's j us|a PR figmen^a persona, a celeBnty ^ i d e n t " % said onewoman. One protestor had a difr; ferent insight O Obama, he said, Q "Would you I k your 16 year old daughter learn to drive in your $100,000 Mercedes?" I replied no, he then said* "Well that is like what Obama is doing with this country; he?s learning to drive with this country.- That had t o Be the best quote that I got during the day. He also said, ¿"He's buying people, buying the public, with peanuts." As a writer and an exchange student I am trying to remain impartial, but you, the reader, can look at the protestors' comments and form your own opinion. Do you think these people have a point? Or are they completely wrong? Do you think that Obama is taking America into a brighter future?

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

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

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

Not j ust the money needed to cover all the increased tuition f ees for next semester, but money for all the extraneous needs of the "holiday" season, like Halloween costumes, C hristmas presents, and Winter break vacations. Many students already have p art time j obs, but for those who are f ull-time students and need some extra cash for the holidays, there is always the option of seasonal work. When "seasonal j obs" are mentioned, the immediate thought for most of us is the guy waving signs for costume stores on the street corner. But the reality is that a number of retailers look for extra workers around this time to handle the increased customer volumes, and most don't involve wearing rubber masks. Probably the number one source of seasonal work comes f rom food retailers. Don't f ind the idea of f lipping burgers too appealing? T hat's okay; many places like Starbucks and local grocery stores o ffer viable alternatives and need people to help during the rush of Thanksgiving/Christmas customers. Positions like bagger or cashier may not seem that glamorous, but when in need of extra income there is little room to complain. Also, local pumpkin patches that spring up along San Marcos Boulevard are good places to f ind work because they inevitably become Christmas t ree lots, insuring a position up until December. Not to mention the bevy of stores, both food and otherwise, in local malls that need extra employees for the holiday r ush. Food, however, is not everyone's idea of ideal work, even in temporary situations. During the month of October, quite a few people apply to the Halloween costume superstores that seem to be springing up in the wake of stores like Circuit City and Mervyns closing for good. But there are plenty of year-round retailers looking for p art-timers as well, most notably electronics stores like RadioShack, where employees haves the chance to earn more than hourly wages with commission sales. In addition, big chain clothing stores in local malls and outdoor plazas, like JCPenney, Macys, and Nordstrom "-^•j.1 o ffer seasonal work that can lead to promotions and higher positions as time goes on. "I started out here as a cashier last November," said Chelsea Pratt, a CSUSM sophomore who works at the Nordstrom in the Westfield Mall at Escondido. "It was j ust as a parttime cashier at f irst, but now I 'm a part-time manager. So yeah, part-time j obs can d efinitely lead to opportunities to d ealing with rude customers and t heir kids all day? And on t he f lip side, you may find something you really enjoy doing and want to continue for t he remainder of your time at school. So if money's tight for you t his early into Fall, it may be t ime to bite the bullet and look for something that f its in with your school schedule. But be warned: don't expect to get Holidays off. advance." Not a lot of these " jobs" sound like a dream come t rue, but hey, they are only t emporary.

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

The two-round tournament, which was hosted by San Diego State on Salt Creek Golf Course in Chula Vista, featured six NCAA schools and the Cougars. Playing with j ust four players, the Cougars shot a team round of 339 on Tuesday, four shots better than Monday's 343, for a total of 682. Cal State Northridge won the event with a team total of 595. Leading the way for CSUSM was once again Stephanie Cole. The sophomore shot 80 on Tuesday a fter Monday's 79, giving her a final score of +15 (189), good for 18th place in the field. Second on the team was Ellyse Siu, who shot back-toback 81's to finish tied for 19th with a 162. Roxanne Mejia shot 85-82 to tie for 25th, and Jennifer Conway shot 98-96 to finish 40th.

But in the 85th minute, Bradley Seidenglanz hit a ball into the box, and Brandon Zuniga f inally found the back of the net with a header. That would prove to be the game winner, as CSUSM escaped with a 1-0 win. " The team is w illing t heir way to win," commented Pulvers. Keeper Kevin Ernst was rarely tested and made one save to pick up the shutout. CSUSM will be in action t his Friday at Soka.

The squad was coming off an emotional, dominating 5-1 win on Senior Day and playing on the road against a team with a losing record - all ingredients for a potential let-down.

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

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

We are p aying more, and getting less. If the school is not going t o stick to these goals, maybe it is time to reevaluate them and be honest about the fact that the student, the teacher, and the quality of education are not a priority. The email o ffhandedly mentions that this is supposed to help classes. But t his is only a t emporary solution to a growing problem. When I was a f reshman, I did not sign up f or these cutbacks or expect that my campus would so easily discard my desire to l earn. On the CSUSM homepage, our school claims to b e "Roaring into Our 20s." T his must be some kind of j oke. Sure, i t's a milestone, but t here is not much t o celebrate if a fter twenty years the school is cutting back on student p rogress. Now is the t ime to get involved and make s omething happen f or the better. It is t ime to ask of our elected ASI o fficials t o f ight for the s tudents, like they promised us d uring the elections. Every person can get involved by signing up at www.savecsusm.org, where we can rally together to show that we care. If we let these l imits walk all over us, it is going t o keep happening. Those behind them are going to keep cutting back because they know they can. It is t ime to get our heads out of the sand. We cannot be the change our f uture needs if we cannot get a decent education. you can do, two things, either or both of which will definitely make you a happier person and each of which take very little time. First, keep a gratitude journal. A couple of times each week (put these on your weekly calendar), take two minutes and write down 5 things that you feel grateful for at that moment. They can be anything from thè most trivial (like this weather or that bagel), to your feelings about the people who have loved you, to your deepest feelings about God or nature. Write down 5 things, and as you do, try to actually feel the sense of good fortune and gratitude for each of them. That's it! Simple! Second, if you want to try something really powerful, think of one person that you feel very grateful to for being in your life, now or in the past. Write a one-page letter to that person, thanking the person for what s/he has meant And when you do think about to you. Tell him/her specifically these things, and try to picture that why you feel grateful to him/her person or thing vividly, you might and how lucky or blessed you feel also notice a good feeling visiting for his/her presence in your life you as you realize your good for- and how the person you are owes tune and how your life has always so much to him/her. Really get depended on the world. into it, even if it feels "corny" or So here's what the research says "lame." Then, at some point if you can possibly do so, read the letter out loud to that person. If you can't do it face to face, do it on the phone. Guarantee: you will both feel wonderful! So there you go, two simple exercises. Try either one or both. Amazingly, even doing a gratitude journal entry a couple of times a week will, I'm positive, make you a happier person. Counseling Services here at Cal State are available to all students at no charge. You don't have to have a 'mental illness' to see us. Many students come when they are struggling with the common stresses of college life, especially when these are 'getting in the way'. Many students use our services as an opportunity to learn more about themselves and grow as people. Confidential conversations with a professional can be a special opportunity to be completely honest with yourself with someone who won't judge you and who will strive to support your happiness and success. If you would like to make an appointment, call 750-4910.

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

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

We've all heard of the Mozart effect. Studies show that Mozart's compositions administered in daily doses boosts a child's developing intellect. Beethoven allegedly enhances creativity. And best of all, according to the Francis Payne Bolton School of Nursing in Cleveland, listening to Vivaldi post-op will actually promote healing and patient wellbeing. Current musical stylings like hip-hop and the endless variants of rock do little to advance relaxation or IQs. Besides, the only classical music present in the 21st century seems to be snippets of Debussy's Claire de Lune or an abridged version of J.C. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in car commercials (travesty, I know). So, knowing how beneficial classical composition seems to be, why aren't there modern composers and musicians perpetuating this positivity? There are, I promise. The "golden age" of classical music may have come and gone, but there is a man versed in classical repertoire breathing new life into the field. Matt Haimovitz, a 38-yearold cellist born in Israel, made his performance debut at 13 as a soloist with the Israel Philharmonic after intense training in Palo Alto, California by the world-renowned cellist Irene Sharp. At 17, Haimovitz and his family moved back to the States and he performed with the Chicago and New York Philharmonic orchestras. He also signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, a German classical record company, and received several awards for his work with the label. In 1996, upon graduation from Harvard, he terminated his contract with Deutsche Grammophon out of a desire to explore non-standard styles of classical music. His variations were a success in (of all places) rock venues, and he went on to found his own record label, Oxingale. Haimovitz does not record any original works. In his newest approach, he creates variants of established pieces by modern artists like Elliott Carter, Ana Sokolovic, and Steven Stucky, and infuses them with electronic styling. Haimovitz's most recent release, Figment, is the perfect album to help temper your tastes if you aren't ready to dive head first into a symphony. The album's first track, "Figlude," is a pulsating hybrid of synth hits mixed with a cello piece by composer Socalled. Though Haimovitz's real claim to fame is his incredible Image courtesy ofAshmont Records technical skill, his innovative approach toward classical music bridges the musical generation gap between the 19th and 21st centuries. Still can't handle heavy classi- cal music? Check out his version of "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin off his 2005 release Goulash. It's guaranteed to smash any and all preconceptions about what it means to be "classical." crowd the p an. Make s ure t he mushrooms are not o verlapping in the pan and are in an even single layer.

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

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

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

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

PhotosJbry Name Redacted N ative plant presentation packs auditorium BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer It was standing room only in A rts 111 on the evening of Sept. 16, 2009 as several hundred p eople t urned out to listen to a p resentation on the u ses of indigenous and endemic plant species. This p resentation was j ust another class session for t hose in P rofessor S mall's VPA 311 c ourse, A rts World C ultures. But many of t hose f illing t he room t his evening were i nterested in broadening t heir u nderstanding of the n ative peoples with whom we share t his land today. Those a ttending sought to c onnect with those who have been the k eepers of t his land f or m illennia prior to t he a rrival of Western peoples. The t itle of the p resentation, " Edible, M edicinal, Material, Ceremonial Contemporary Ethnobotany of Southern C alifornia I ndians," may have led one to expect a very d ry c ollegiate discussion of plant, genus and species followed by d etails of the plants f unctions among Southern C alifornia N ative Indian Tribes. Anyone a ttending with "the expectation to receive such a s cientifically e nlightening e xperience would have come away very d isappointed. For anyone a ttending without p reconceptions, the evening was a delight. The p rofessor delivered the p resentation, and was enthusiastically commented on by c o-presenter Lydia Vassar, a Luiseno basket weaver who teaches basket weaving on the Pechanga r eservation at the Pechanga C Mmmakilawish School. It was a sentimental j ourney back in t ime to re-visit the lost and recently r e-discovered Luiseno a rt of weaving baskets, as well as a few side t rips t o d iscuss some of the other u seful plant species in the area. Vassar brought j oy and excitement to all in a ttendance as she focused less on the s pecific plant applications than she did on the e ssential and h armonious c o-existence between the p lants and the indigenous people. Her mother was in the audience f or the evening and also c ontributed some of h er wisdom t o t he conversation. In her s torytelling it was clear that m odern society was i mpacting the local t ribes, and l ocal p lants, both in a less than positive m anner. But the stories were n othing but positive, as she d escribed how t he knowledge of her own t ribes basket weaving had been lost, and was now being r eborn through the g uidance of elders among other t ribes. She is clearly p assionate about basket weaving, and her enthusiasm to inspire and guide a new generation of basket weavers is u nbounded. Basket weaving locally d epends on the Juncus p lant, a g rass species whose population is being t hreatened by non-native invasive species such a s Pampas g rass. In a ddition, several other f actors enter into t he equation of collecting m aterials to c reate t hese b askets that not only f unctional, but a re also in t heir own right g reat works of a rt. Among t he challenges of collecting enough of the Juncus t o begin the weaving, ( preferably the uncommon brown stems) include the all t oocommon o ccurrence of poison oak w ithin the r eeds of the J uncus p lant; Vassar described methods" she used to p rotect h erself f rom the vicious bite of t he poison oak oil as she h arvested plants for her c raft. A lso t hroughout history, t here have been no b oundaries to c ollecting plant?, and today f ences and b orders impinge on the t radition i tself. A s the local t ribes begin t o r ediscover t heir old ways, p erhaps t hose of u s who have c reated physical and s piritual b arriers can c reate new pathways to bridge these t wo c ultures t ogether in living harmony. Perhaps the best way to d escribe the event was a s an i ntercultural conversation, as r eminiscence to old ways, and an introduction for those who were unaware that t here are ways to e xperience l ife's great j oy without the relentless pur- suit of m onetary and m aterial r ewards. Spending t he e vening l istening and c onnecting was c ertainly a reward in i tself. Photos by Blaine H. Mogil �Faces & Places S tudying a broad at C S U S M Accents THE PRIDE BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer My name is James Roche. I'm a student at the University of Central Lancashire, UCLan, and I'm here at Cal State San Marcos on a yearlong exchange program. Anyone heard of the English city of York? Don't worry, you're not the only one. It's in Northern England and is over four hours away from London. So being from the north of E ngla^, the opportunity to come study in Southern California was too good to turn down. For most international students thinking about, studying abroad, California is theprime choice; the sun, sand and sea on your doorstep everyday is a dream come true! I arrived. here a couple of weeks earlier than I was required to, as I wanted to relax and enjoy the place before the classes started. Once those two weeks were up I had to move into the University Village Apartments, which was a bit strange initially for me as everyone at university in England has their own room. I think I've been lucky because I get along with my roommate and the other guys in my apartment. This is a concern for most internationals upon coming jto America I think, as you do hope to get along with someone who you will be living in the same room for the next six months to a year. The people that I have met out here have been nice and welcoming, and I already knew a few people before I came across the pond. This is due to them coming to my university in England on an exchange program. This is also how 1 met my American girlfriend! Having a British accent seems to be a nice thing to have here as it's an easy way to start up a conversation and most people seem to like it. I'm taking Mass Media classes here and have found them quite interesting. It's nice when the professor comes to you for an international view on the topic, for example we recently talked about American Idol and it was nice to mention that Britain had the idea for that show first! The budget crisis was a serious shock to me though as I was not made aware anything like this could happen when I applied to CSUSM. I have had one class cancelled already which was both worrying and annoying at the same time. I was also astounded at the amount of books you have to buy and the cost, although speaking to a few people I think I've been lucky with my course. I think I'll struggle to get used to a few things. For example, why does football have to be soccer here? That hurts me the most! Also, Americans refer to table tennis as ping pong. I know they're the same thing but it's my English pride that takes the hit saying it differently. However, with all the differences, CSUSM seems like a great place to come to and I think I'm going to have a great year! Tuesday SEPTEMBER 29, 2 009 O a nd culture shock BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Who'd have thought after 3 weeks ofconversing with the local Brits, that I wouldn't understand a good majority of local sayings? It's simply shocking walking into the local Essentials Food Market (like Cougar Corner, only British) to pick up a loaf of bread and a Diet Coke, and after I pay I follow up with an immediate thank you only to have the person on the other side of the register reply with "cheers." No, we weren't toasting to my purchase with a large pint of Guinness, this is a local expression for "thank you" and/or "have a nice day." Everywhere I go this is said along with varying other says that I seem to slowly pick up, like the fact that frenchfriesare known as chips, then what are Doritos know as? The point is that a good majority ofwhat we know can drastically change depending on where you are in the world and how you're perceived. I know I got some strange look when I said "fanny pack" in public (yeah, it's actually a word used to describe a certain body part, try to guess!). And with that comes the realization of culture shock—the idea of being in a new and foreign place where things as little as words could mean completely the opposite. But it's a good culture shock, the learning outcomes that come from it are one that will help throughout the rest of the time living in said coun- try and it's definitely something to take back home. Speaking of taking things back home, accents! They're sexy, different, and above all, just plain awesome! Going to class every other day puts you at the forefront of speech in a foreign country, so sure enough, my dream would be to come sounding like Daniel Craig or something. And along with the culture shock, comes the fact that I myself didn't know that I had an accent apparently. According to locals, I'm the one with the American accent, and somehow they can pinpoint that I'mfromCalifornia. It's just simply something that I never thought about, here I was ready to go to the UK and gain an accent for myself. All the while, people already in the UK were prepping to hear accents from varying countries, including theU.S. So, it just goes to show, that even though almost every country contains people, buildings, roads, we're all essentially the same. We are people, united under the banner of Homo sapiens. But we should all strive to learn from the cultures of others to influence and better ourselves. So, I propose a trade, how about the UK brings over a Chipotle franchise here to understand the deliciousness of it (I'm dying for a burrito STAT!). And in return, America will create a method to gain cool British and phrases to better understand our friends across the pond. Deal? L ooking to join a g ym? Y ou a lready h ave! N ew A SI fitness classes are available to all students BY MAEV E CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer ulty, and staff are all welcome to join at anytime during the semester. The week days and times of the program ASI Campus Recreati|h and The vary with each, class, but the full Clarkefieldhouse now offer an array schedule is available from brochures of fitness classes including Zumba, in The Clarke. Students may join for yoga, ab blast, and a boot camp-style free, while faculty and staff pay $39 workout The classes take place in per class, which is a 22% discount the gym, and they started the week from last year's cost Saul Garcia, the Intramural Coorof September 14th but students, fac- dinator, described the casual nature of the programs as "basically just classes where you can come, show up, and participate." Since they are already covered by the tuition fees students pay at the beginning of each semester, students "should at least check them out," Garcia said: The ASI Coordinator of Campus Recreation, Hugo Lecomte, said that image courtesy of Associated Students Inc. before attending fitness classes or working out in the gym, participants will need to have a membership card for Hie Clarke, which students can easily obtain by visiting The Clarke field house and filling out a few forms. He also advised partakers to arrive early enough to warm up before classes start Getting your body properly stretched is one of the most important things to do before working out, so make sure to look up some stretches online if you don't remember anyfromprevious fitness classes. The newfitnessclasses are just one of the many free resources students have on campus that they may not even know about, and they are also a fun way to get a good work out, stay healthy, and socialize. �O Tuesday SEPTEMBER 29, 2 009 Arts & Entertainment W orld M usic BY AMY SALISBURY Copy Editor The proverbial "bubble" is the newest form of international criticism toward American people. You've heard of it: the idea that Americans are culturally aittight. This Zip-lock effect extends beyond our collective ignorance concerning world politics and events. It also controls even our pop cultural preferences. Of course, the latter isn't necessarily a societal detriment; any country could say the same about its inhabitants to some degree. The majority of U.S. Americans have heard of The Beatles from England, Bjork from Iceland, and Shakira from Columbia. The problem is, the greater part of international musicians that are established in America are the ones who have catered to American taste, likely because American entertainment monopolizes much of youth culture. It's a natural thing considering the largest and most powerful record labels currently call the States home. Seeing as how artists like Mariah Carey hog even the World Music Awards, the most effective way to hunt for international musicians is to do just that: hunt. I offer the following artists under the disclaimer that 1 am indeed an American as well and can only go as far as the Internet may take me. Onward, I say! Indipop broke into the American entertainment sceiie with the success of the British film Slumdog Millionaire. Indian composer and producer Allah Rakha "A.R." Rahman began scoring Bollywood movies in t he 90s, garnering mass success in his native India before "Jai Ho" came to the States. He's worked with several Hindi and Tamil musicians to turn out hit after hit in his token symphonic style, prevalent in India as well as in Indian communities in Europe. Origa, or Ol'ga Vital'evna Yakovleva, is a Japanese pop singer of Russian origin. She gained popularity throughout the 90s and early 2000s with the rise in mainstream Anime interest, and the majority of her fanbase is still in Japan. The language Origa sings in varies by album; sometimes she will even use more than one language in the same song. Though she is no longer an active artist in Russian, the Japanese still can't get enough. Polish music culture is unusual because it's one of the only countries without pop music ruling the charts. Rather, Poland has a huge death metal scene, with the band Vader at the forefront. As you'd imagine, the band took their name from the Star Wars series, and their style certainly reflects the character's darkness. Throughout Ukraine, Germany, and the THE P RIDE Image courtesy of Jmignited.com Czech Republic, Vader satiates their fans' desire for the best death metal in Eastern Europe. For over 25 years, Egyptian musician Amr Diab released and continues to release the most popular music in the country. He's smashed album sales records throughout the Middle East and is as loved today as in the mid-80s when he first came to prominence. His dance-style music crosses over to places including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, and is considered the favorite of all Arab pop singers. The planet is a big place, and the musical world is even larger. Each of the nearly 200 countries in existence has its unique variants and reasons for why its people enjoy the music they do. Language is an understandable barrier, but the love of music is unanimous. A uthor b rings real w orld e xperience to C S U S M BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Knowing a successful author brings reality to the forefront and is no longer a distant hypothetical for aspiring student writers on campus. The Community and World Literary Series featured author Stephen-Paul Martin at CSUSM's Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon on Thursday, Sept. 24. It was a grand evening filled with buzz and excitement. Stephen-Paul Martin is a widely published author with work ranging from poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The National Critics Circle Fiction Award in 1993 nominated Martin for "The Gothic Twilight." His most recent collection is "The Possibility of Music." He graduated from New York University with his doctorate. His upcoming fiction collection "Changing the Subject," will debut in 2010, published by Ellipsis Press. Professor Mark Wallace started the literary series on campus and over the years brought real world experience to the academic scene. His intentions included giving students the opportunity to see and discuss published work with the authors themselves. Student Jennifer Hylander admitted she had attended the event as a required assignment. However, she said, "I would have come even if it wasn't an assignment, because [Martin] is a great writer and I can learn something from him." The reading began with StephenPaul Martin instructing the listeners to clear their minds of intent and preconceived notions. He read a story inspired by illegal whaling practices and by Herman Melville's « Moby Dick. He forewarned us about by his intentions of portraying the way humans abuse animals for their own self-serving. Student Jeannine Clark' had mixed feelings on this aspect of on Martin's writing. She said, "Stephen-Paul Martin obviously is a very compassionate man with a big heart for animals. At times though, I felt like he had an agenda to push and that got in the way of the writing for me." She followed by adding, "I do think the reading series is important for literature and writing students so that we get the chance to see contemporary writers read and discuss their work." ; Even though this event is beneficial to the development of student, it has not escaped the looming shadow of the budget crisis. Last year there were three Literary Series events. This semester there will only be two events not because of lack of demand but because of lack of funding. "It's like they cut the things that help us most. I'm here because I want to be a good writer. Who else can teach me that but a good published writer? What are we paying for?" said student Rachel Busnardo. Salt to taste Pepper to taste Cook macaroni according to package direction in salted water. Drain and let cool.

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

According to the official Army autopsy reports in the film, Dilawar was brutally beaten to death after only five days in custody at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. His death was reported on widely and it is clear that those who caused his death were heinous in their actions and it is still unclear how high up the chain of command the orders to treat prisoners in this fashion went. It is not too difficult to imagine that this came from the very highest levels of military command. No matter the driving force behind these crimes, this film goes to great lengths to try to discern the truth. In response to the excellent reporting contained in this film and the sensitive manner with which all concerned have been portrayed, this film has received a 100% rating on the film review site Rotten Tomatoes making iKthe third highest film rating in that website's history.

The' alternative convocation consisted of over 120 faculty members who all worked together to actively plan ahead for the upcoming semester. As the semester pushes forward into mid-September, the CFA continues to assemble and rally support in protest of the disabling cuts to higher education. The effects of such cuts may already be evident to students, many of whom experienced difficulty crashing courses. The CFA is responsible for the assertive stance faculty is now taking against over-enrollment. "Class size is important in determining the ability of faculty to give students the appropriate level of attention necessary for success, but budget demands have been steadily increasing our class sizes to the point where we simply could not provide the time necessary for students," said CFA Association Chapter President and CSUSM Associate Professor of Sociology, Don Barrett. "This decision was a key part of why you saw many faculty encouraging students in their first days of classes to file complaint forms about the availability of classes." Last Tuesday and Thursday, Sept. 8 and 10, CFA assembled CSUSM faculty members in Founders Plaza to protest the budget cuts and furlough days and also encourage students to join i njhe protest. During the University Hour protests, faculty members stood in between Craven, Markstein, Science Hall I and Academic handing out complaint forms to students. Students may notice their syllabi include furlough explanations which detail the reasoning behind and consequences of furlough days for course sched- CSUSM's GFA chapter President Don Barrett and Professor Heidi Breuer protest the budget cuts during University Hour by passing out complaint forms to students. ules and campus operations. CSUSM's Academic Senate comprised of faculty members across departments, compiled samples of furlough language in syllabi. The CFA provides these examples of furlough explanations on their website for faculty to use. The CSUSM's CFA chapter website, www.csusm. edu/cfa, also provides students with the information necessary to help protest the cuts to the budget. An online complaint form is available at the CFA website as well. The form headline reads: "Got Classes? We don't. If you're frustrated that you're paying more for classes & an education that you're not receiving, please fill out this complaint form." "In terms of complaint forms, we have received hundreds [of complaint forms] and will be giving those to the President and Provost, as well as to the Chancellor's office and legislators," said Barrett. "This sort of visible complaint is key to letting policy holders know that students and faculty won't just quietly accept efforts that make quality educa- tion more and more difficult to provide." President Haynes recently wrote an editorial in the August 30, 2009 "North County Times" regarding the budget crisis at CSUSM. "There is no question that we are positively impacting lives, — but how can we continue to educate and support students with quality when our budget was dramatically slashed by $14 million, or 20 percent of state support, in one year? This is the question that keeps me up at night," Haynes wrote. "The fact is, Cal State San Marcos and the public higher education system in California are in crisis. The current options of reducing quality service to students, of turning even more students away, and of charging students more are all distasteful and largely unacceptable alternatives — not just for Cal State San Marcos, but for this region. An even less-educated community of tomorrow will not be the community that attracts and retains businesses; it will not continue to be the place of incubation and innovation. This dilemma should keep all of us up at night," Haynes said. In closing, Haynes called on the "North County Times" readers, and the entire county, to rally against the cuts to higher education, "Join me in sending this definitive message: Our state budget cannot be balanced on the back of California's future." This call for help provides an example of the collaboration between faculty and administration against the budget cuts made by the state. While CSUSM faculty and staff are certainly frustrated with the current state of the budget, Haynes is not downplaying the magnitude of the cuts or their effects on every member of the campus community and beyond. "The faculty agrees with President Haynes' assertions that California's commitment to education is in serious doubt, and that it is time to make it clear that we will not tolerate continued actions that reduce the quality of education." �Viewpoint Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 15, 2 009 THE PRIDE T HE CIPRIDE EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF JACKIE CARBAJAL FACES A N D PLACES * EDITOR M ATT LEWIS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR S ANDRA CHALMERS COPY EDITOR A MY SALISBURY LAYOUT EDITOR R UDY M ARTINEZ D ISTRIBUTION M ANAGER BILL R HEIN B USINESS M ANAGER & SALES REPRESENTATIVE K RISTINA L AWLER P J EA SC Ü M E D RD _ D # S S .

But the process of getting that degree is becoming more and more difficult, simply because part time jobs that can help pay for college are in short supply. "That's the whole reason I'm here, because it's an investment," said Pablo Alvarado, a freshman who wants to major in business. "I have a one or two scholarships to help me pay for stuff, but I'm counting on finding a job after I graduate to help pay for most of my student loans." It's worth mentioning that half of college graduates under the age of 25 have jobs that don't require college degrees, either because the competition for specialized work has become too fierce or because long-term employers can't afford to hire them. These statistics may seem bleak, but if anything they should give incentive to average students to start preparing now for their future, whatever grade they might be in. Preparing resumes, practicing interviews, and working at internships are all resources that CSUSM has available to every student.

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

For Williams, the win supports the work ethic and drive /that Coach Steve Scott has been raving about this Fall. An AllAmerican in Cross-Country and National Champion in track & field, Williams is on a mission to improve on last year's sixth place finish at the National Championships. She got off to a great start on Saturday, running 17:21 to win the event by 5 seconds. Not far behind in the 5K was Cady Villarreal. A breakout performer this spring in track & field, Villarreal proved she will be a force as a cross-country runner this fall. She ran 17:41 to finish 4th. Junior Jessica Sandoval would make it an amazing three Cougar runners to break 18 minutes. Sandoval took 9th place with a time of 17:56. All three runners not only finished in the top 10 at this event, but they have a very good chance of earning Ail-American status at Nationals. The Cougars' next three runners all finished within a couple seconds of each other. Sin Carrano, Lindsey McKown, and Kelly Thompson finished 59th, 60th, and 61st with times of 19:10, 19:11, and 19:12, respectively. Melissa Olmos rounded out the women's team with a time of 19:30. For the men's team, the 2009 season debut was just about as impressive. Running in his firstever meet in Cougar Blue, Baressa, a transfer from Mesa College, defeated the NCAA-heavyfieldin the 8K with a time of 25:06. That time alone makes him the #5 top performers in Cougar cross-country's 10-year history, and he's still got the whole season ahead of him. Next on the team was Dave Edwards, who finished in 38th place with a time of 26:11. Pat Fitzgerald finished 55th with a time of26:34, and Bernardo Bahena and Chris Strasheim were close behind in 58th and 59th, running 26:41 and 26:42, respectively. Rounding out the top-5 was Chris Capeau, who ran 27:32. Also competing for the Cougars were Miguel Vega (28:21) and Jordan Brooks (28:37). It's an outstanding start to what should be a big season for Coach Steve Scott's cross-country program. The #6-ranked teams will be in action next week at UC Riverside.

CSUSM defeated Westmont 3-2 in what was a wild, spirited game. The Cougars have now clawed their way back to 3-3 on the season. Westmont falls to 2-2. The hundreds of fans in attendance w fie treated to a thrilling mafch between two talented and highly-motivated sides at Mahgrum Field. Westmont struck f irst, when in the 18th minute Anthony Niboli found a loose ball in the box and drove it past Cougar keeper Kevin Ernst. Westmont continued to apply the pressure, and would have went up 2-0 a few minutes later had Ernst not made a diving full-extension save. With h alftime fast approaching and it looking like the Cougars would go in down 1-0, lightning struck twice. In the 42nd minute, recently-subbed in Casey Wootan sparked the o ffense with a b eautiful pass through the defense to Bradley Seidenglanz. Seidenglanz beai the defense to t h e c a l 1; and blasted a q uick-shorthat beat the keeper cleanly^1 That tied the game ^ t 1-1,^ but the Cougars were not done. Just 59 seconds later, Brandon Zuniga and Wootan electrified the crowd with a beautiful goal. Zuniga made a run to the corner with the ball, and f ired a low cross to Wootan, who made a run to the near corner of the net and skillfully redirected the ball over the keeper and into the top of the net. The sudden change from 0-1 to 2-1 in the span of a minute was one of the most exciting stretches in the history of Cougar soccer. But Westmont was not deterred, and equalized the game early in the second half on a corner kick in which it appeared Ernst was held back. Doug Harrell took advantage with a solid header into the net. But CSUSM would have the last word, and catch a break of its own as Brandon Zuniga made a nice run, arid was taken down right at the top of the box. A penalty kick was awarded, and redshirt freshman Martin Suarez easily tucked it away for his f irst Cougar goal. Twenty very tense minutes followed, but when the dust settled, the Cougar defense held and the team had a very well-earned carry the momentum into a vtough game Tuesday at Point 3-2 win. The Cougars will look to Loma. Photo By Kyle Trembley �Arts & Entertainment Auf Wiedersehen, Bravo! Restaurant W eek rolls into town THE PRIDE Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 15,2009 Project R unway moves to Lifetime BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Project Runway's season six on its new TV network, Lifetime®, still keeps loyal fans flocking. Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum have packed up and moved from New. York City to Los Angeles. The contestants will be working from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FD1M), a shift from the legendary Parson's School of Design. The judges, Nina Garcia, fashion director for Marie Claire magazine and Michael Kors, an American iconic fashion designer, stayed on board through the changes. Staying traditional, Project Runway brought in a selection of celebrity judges, this season has already seen Lindsay Lohan as a guest judge for a red carpet challenge and a pregnant Rebecca Romijn also guest judged for a maternity design challenge. Future guest judges include Eva Longoria Parker and Tommy Hilfiger this Thursday at its regular showing time of 10p.m. Other than location, the show is unchanged from its previous five seasons on Bravo® TV network. The grand prize still lures designers to compete for a chance to show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, $100,000fromL'Oreal Paris, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine and a Paris vacation sponsored by Evian. The casting has stuck to its roots with the same odd but artistic personalities. "I try to meditate on the mood of where the garment will be and who will be wearing it," said Ari Fish, a 26 year-oldfromKansas City, MO who never sketches her designs. Michael Kors described her dress as "a disco soccer ball." Fish's quilted silver halter dress made her the first designer to go home, Challenges and stresses stay high but the creative workfromthe designers and the dramatics that come with it continue to keep audiences raving. Last week's episode eliminated a contestant for playing it safe with the design ofa simple black dress. "No one's [design] really looks like crap, but I just think Althea's looked like crap," said Irina Shabayeva, a young designer out of New York City. Regardless of Shabayeva's opinion, Althea Harper, a 24 year oldfromDayton, OH, impressed the judges with her three-piece suit, making her the winner of episode 4. This year Bravo® had a not so successful knock-off called "The Fashion Show." The winner of the show had their designs sold at a retailer. This ultimately focused the designs toward commercial sale rather than high fashion runway style. Although it followed the same elimination format as Project Runway, they had stiffly written tag lines such as "You are hanging by a thread." These words fell flat with many fens of "Project Runway," used to organically formed sayings such as Tim Gunn's "Make it work," or Klum's "One day you're in and the next day you're out." Lifetime's interactive website gives viewers an opportunity to rate the designs, the contestants and give feedback. Do not worry if you have missed an episode or two because featured on the website, www. mylifetime.com/on-tv/show/projectrunway every full episode is posted for watching with a few 3 (^second commercials slipped in. Additionally, viewers can follow the show on "Twitter" or "Facebook," where posts provide a fun place for to discuss the show.

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

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

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

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

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

I like to think people derive benefit from what I say about music. I like Ferlinghetti, philosophy, cats and cosmology. I love a good concert. I'm terrible at leaving voicemaiis, and 1 think people tell more about themselves by what they hide than what they expose. m a t t J e w i s Hi, t'm Matt. A lot of people confuse me with the multitudes of other Matt's that go to school here. I guess it would be easier if I said my last name paired with my first name all the time, but then again, that would be weird. I am a senior at CSUSM and will be the editor for Faces & Places this semester. I enjoy Rollerbiading, or "Fruitbooting'' as many like to say. Most people think I mean fitness skating on the boardwalk with spandex, and I always have to explain to them, MNo, like on rails and stairs and stuffy I like the ocean and I like eating tacos. if you're looking for a good taco place 1 would say go to Qscar's on Rancho Santa Fe drive in Vi$ta, about 10 minutes away from school. I'm sure you can find the ocean on your own though. k r i s t i n a J a w l e r My name is Kristina Lawler (soon to be Martinez as of October 3, 2009) I am youfBusiness Manager for The Pride.

To others, t he ABC combo, "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and Sisters," comes to mind. Fans of the shows have to wait until Sept. 27 for the premieres, though their returns should prove worth the wait. In the season premiere of "Housewives," viewers will finally know the answer to the season 5 cliffhanger; who does Mike marry, his ex-wife and baby momma, Susan, or current girlfriend, Katherine? The new season should also prove entertaining as the other housewives surely mm mm m Image courtesy CW have their own melodramas to play out and, per usual, a new family moves in. The "Brothers and Sisters" season four premiere will see more of the newest addition to^the Walker family, the illegitimate son, Ryan, who, for those of us who tuned in last season, will remember, his intentions weren't exactly genuine. The .divorced single oldest sister, Sarah, will finally get some action and we'll see how Kitty and Roberts rocky marriage makes it through Robert's run for governor. Image courtesy CBS Want something to gossip about? Gossip Girl returns this fall on the CW on Mondays at 9pm, a step up from their previous 8 o'clock spot. Going into it's third season, this show has definitely turned into a must-see. Watch out, Manhattan, these kids are grown up now and off to college. What will that mean for our favorite characters? If it's anything like the last seasons, lots more drama and exciting new storylines. It will be hard to top last season's twists and turns, but with Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf finally attempting a relationship, who knows what will happen. I know I will be tuning in on September 14tb to find out and so should you. "Dancing with the Stars" could very likely overshadow the entertainment gems that Mondays o ffer this fall. Though "House" by now should have a strong enough following to weather out the rumba/jive combos of D-list celebrities, "Heroes" has something to prove considering the rapid decline its ratings have been on since season one. "How I Met Your Mother" and "Big Bang Theory" are honorable mentions, as both these shows are not only funrfy, but their earlier seasons are available on box sets for quite reasonable prices.

With shows that range from "The Simpsons" and "Arrested Development" to "Joe Millionaire" and "Melrose Place," the upcoming dramedy (comedy/drama) "Glee" is a hit or miss this fall. With season one's first episode premiering on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009, viewers have enough time to give this show a fair chance before missing out on other Wednesday premieres such as the CW's "The Beautiful Life" the following week and ABC's "Cougar Town" two weeks out. "Glee" made its debut this past spring, premiering its pilot episode following the "American Idol" finale to mixed critical reviews though it did pull in an impressive 10 million viewers. The new series follows a high school choir but hints at a darker story line that could prove an edgy result that is already being referred to as a mix between "High School Musical" and "Gray's Anatomy." Interesting... Thursdays this fall, "Twilight" fans have another option when satiating their undead desires. "The Vampire Diaries" premiers on the CW on Sept. 10 at 8pm. "DeGrassi" actress Nina Dobrev stars as the innocent Elena Gilbert caught between two vampire brothers, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder, thirsty for blood. With stars from "Juno," "Smallville," "17 Again," and "Lost/' critics anticipate the show to be another CW hit. Based on a series of books by L. J.

Yes, indeed my favorite movie in all it's ass kicking glory. Unfortunately, it's not what I 'm talking about today. In a relationship, there are going to b e rough waters in a sea of love. But thankfully, you have a lifeboat with multiple relationship shipwreck survival kits (ok, this shipwreck analogy has gone f ar enough). Long story short, if a relationship is going to last, you're both going to r un into some snags that will get on each other's nerves. The point is to address these issues to each other before they become much bigger problems than they already are. For example, let's j ust p retend you and your partner are in a pretty decent relationship and have been happy for a good couple of months. Everything is great but the only problem continues to persist is your p artner's consistent use of a word you might not like (example, go with it). Slowly but surely, they're going to continue t o u se it while you stay quiet, hence they're going to t hink it's perfectly fine to use it because he has yet to r un into a confrontation about it. Eventually, i t'll start to eat away at you until finally the only to stop it is to break up because it has grown into such an ingrained reflex. The point is to stop this and address it before it destroys your relationship, it's like some kind of Batman complex. Christian Bale thought it'd be great to speak in a g ruff, low tone when he ran around in his black leather and cape (...wow, I j ust made a weird connection) and Katie Holmes (Rachel) didn't seem t o much care for it. A nd (I would assume), that is the reason why Katie Holmes was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Chances are she d idn't like it much either, and look what happened. She got blown up. You see, the power of not addressing problems could lead to consequences that might not b e too favorable to the partners. It probably won't cause your partner to be blown u p by a clown, but it's an analogy (ok, maybe the Batman reference was a little over the top, but the power of not addressing issues might suck eventually). The point is to address concerns for the betterment of you and yours. D on't use " you" statements. Example: Well you never take out the trash! If you're going to address an issue that you have, own u p to it. Don't blame the other person, talk to them and work together to start a solution and b e open to critiques yourself as well. Remember that it's ok to fight. It's not an unhealthy relationship if y'all have discrepancies once and awhile. Make sure you both are comfortable, happy, and able to express yourselves respectfully. Now, if you'll excuse me, I t hink I 'm o ff to go cuddle up with a girl I like and watch everyone's favorite billionaire r un around in a tight black crime fighting outfit (It has gadgets! Ok, I 'm done with the sexual innuendos). THE PRIDE "Up" will be the best movie of the summer BY BILL R HEIN Senior Staff Writer The Disney/Pixar powerhouse has done it again. Once again, the studio pair is serving a triumphant piece of animation. " Up" looks stunningly beautiful and appears to have a story to match. I have no doubt that "Up" will b e the best film this summer. Last summer, Disney/Pixar's "Wall-E" went toe-to-toe with "The Dark Knight" and "Ironman," and I think it bested every other piece that summer. This year, a slew of other films will be competing for the top spot, yet "Up" looks so sharp, I know it will be the best. I get excited every time I see a new trailer for "Up." First, the animation is beautiful. The characters and scenes are beautifully brought to life, and I cannot wait to see it in 3-D. The art department of Disney/Pixar embarrasses other studios such as DreamWorks. "Up" looks beautiful and the story and characters look memorable and impressive. It is an original story about a man who uses thousands of balloons to fly away in his house and savor his last days. It is silly and simple, but also appears to be genuinely h eartwarming. I do not fall for sappy films, but I trust that this one will be subtle and meaningful. Amidst all the blockbusters, "Up" will possess the right blend of character development, plot, action, art, and entertainment. I cannot see "Wolverine," "Star Trek," or "Harry Potter" matching this film's power. I am looking forward to seeing many movies this summer, but none more than "Up." I already know " Up" will outdo "Coraline," "Monsters vs. Aliens," "Battle of Terra" and " 9" for the 2010 Academy Award for Best Animated Picture. If the Academy Awards were not so prejudiced against animated films, I would go as far to say they might nominate " Up" for Best Picture. Yet, that is not until next March. I can hardly wait to revel in the 3-D beauty and majestic story of "Up." Image courtesy ofDisney AIDS in Africa BY COREY K ERN b elieve t hat A IDS o riginated h uman i mmunodefiin A frica.

C 44W / �THE PRIDE Faces & Places Tuesday; May 05> 2009 Students love/hate relationship with group projects Fall enrollment update What doesn't kill you makes you stronger BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer The popularity of working in groups is a growing feature to many classes, though students may express that group projects o ften add more stress to a class, CSUSM professors argue that the benefits outweigh the groans. Finding t ime t o meet up, sending emails that never get answered, stressing out the day before the project is due and o ften picking up the slack of that one person that d idn't do any work is seen as the common group project scenario, but gaining experience in working with others sooner than later can benefit students in the long r un. "The ability to work well in groups is a highly sought a fter and prized skill. Proving you have the experience and skills to do group work will be an asset to students' portfolio of j ob skills and talents," said Professor Jerry Breckon of the Political Science department. Breckon most often assigns group projects in his classes and believes that the interpersonal skills, coordination between group members and the diverse ideas presented t o meet the project's requirements are skills that students will most likely need in their f uture careers. " I can remember group work in my college days. It brings me a great deal of satisfaction to start out in a group where no one knows each other, but by working and striving together the group can produce a quality end product." Working with strangers can be the hard- est part of the projects, especially when teachers decided that the whole group gets one grade. " I've had a pretty good experience working with groups," said Business major, Kristina Maniquis. "The hardest thing was trying to find a time the whole group could meet, with work and everyone having different schedules and other engagements." Other problems can make group work difficult. "Granted, you always run in to those who don't want to do the work, but that is part of the challenge to motivate them to join the team and be productive," continued Breckon. Working in a group isn't all stress. It offers other perks that just can't be produced in individual work. "Four minds work better than one. Getting different perspectives and ideas really help in a group e nvironment," said Maniquis. "I do believe that a successfully r un group can produce a superior product over that of a single individual work- BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer ing on a project. The simple fact is in a group you have more than one person contributing ideas, concepts, solutions, time, and e ffort. Those are all positive aspects of having more than one person work on the project," said Breckon. Allison Carr, the Social Sciences Librarian at our Kellogg Library, often works with students on group assignments and views group work as a valuable part of school and work. "Group work in college will help you get used to working with diverse personalities and strengths. I absolutely think that group work is helpful to prepare for f uture careers," said Carr.

I ~ i w �BY JESSENIA LUA Pride Staff Writer Cinco de Mayo is o ften celebrated in the United States w ith big p arties and lots of people. It is a U.S. holiday and can b e c onfused as M exico's I ndependence Day. It is rarely celebrated in Mexico f or the date is not as i mportant as September 16. September 16 is M exico's a ctual I ndependence Day and its s ignificance is f ar more i mportant t han Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo m arks the v ictory of the M exican A rmy over the French at the Battle of Puebla. The French a rmy was in Mexico w ith the intention to c reate an Empire u nder Napoleon I II. In 1862, when t he French a rmy r efused to leave Mexico, G eneral I gnacio Z aragoza o rdered about 4 ,500 M exican soldiers to d efeat the French army. T he M exican soldiers were o utnumbered t wo to one and were still able to d efeat the French. In the U.S., the Battle of Puebla canie^to be k nown as Cinco de Mayo and many people c onfuse it as M exico's I ndependence Day. Over t ime, Cinco de Mayo has b ecome much c ommercialized and m any p eople see t his holiday as a t ime f or f un, d anse^anck c hinking. U nfortunately, Cinco de Mayo is h ighly advertised t o m ainly b ring in m oney t o p roducts. A round t he t ime, e ndless a dvertisements of alcohol are seen and the f ocused e ffort h as s erved the i ndustry well. A lcohol-industry spokesmen say t heir a dvertising is t argeted at r esponsible, legal-age d rinkers, but t hat's not the message seen f rom the p romotional blitz that h as led up to t oday's Mexican-American holiday, Cinco de Mayo. W hen images of f ive a ttractive young L atinas, b eers in h and, f lirting w ith "a guy n amed Mayo," or an o ffer by Sol b eer to " taste the Sol of Cinco," the image p ictured is of e thnic p ride being used as a m arketing prop to e ncourage d rinking among L atino and C hicano youth. Cinco de Mayo should be celebrated f or the v ictory and s trength the people had d uring that b attle and not b e m isconstrued f or Mexico's i ndependence. It also s houldn't b e t aken advantage of to p romote alcohol. M exico's I ndependence Day o ccurred on September 16 when in 1810, Miguel H idalgo y Costilla, a local p riest, led h is people to r ise up a gainst the Spanish Crown. Since the early 1500s, Spanish c onquistadors came to Mexico t aking oveggfae, local r ulers and claiming the land f or Spain. They enslaved Image courtesy ofSaberone many and looted what t hey could of Mexico's t reasures. For over 300 y ears, Mexico, then called New Spain, was a p art of S pain's empire. W hen Miguel H idalgo y Costilla s tarted a revolt a gainst the Spanish r ule in 1810, he and h is u ntrained I ndian followers f ought a gainst the Spanish. H is revolt w as u nsuccessful and Father H idalgo was executed. Soon a fter H idalgo's execution, Father Jose M aria Morelos led the revolutionaries. U nfortunately, Father Morelos f ailed and w as a lso executed. In 1821, a fter the M exican-born Spanish and the Catholic C hurch j oined the revolution, Spain w as f inally d efeated. Mexico celebrates t heir I ndependence Day on S eptember 16 e very year, the a nniversary of t he s tart of Father H idalgo's revolt. Even t hough M iguel H idalgo y Castillo and Jose Maria Morelos f ailed in t heir a ttempt to f ree Mexico, they still a re symbols of liberty and p atriotism.

Sombrero's offers your standard Mexican food restaurant menu at reasonable prices. However, Sombrero's portions are enough to have lunch and leftovers for dinner. A favorite is the beef chimichanga plate that consists of a hefty deep fried burrito of deliciousness filled with strictly shredded beef, topped with guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream,rice,and beans are served on the side of this heavy weight. Currently, Sombreros is having a Cinco de Mayo special, where select combos are $5 (+tax) each. (^^rlopked^ b i ^ t o hot i ggp is" Albertaccfc, ;lydden iiv the Home Depot shopping center off San Marcos Blvd., it is a late night (or anytime of the day) awesome place for some killer carne asada french fries or an out of this world California burrito. Albertaco's guacamole is really what sets this establishment apart from any other Mexican food restaurant. Most places, it is rather t he bland and somewhat blends in with Photo by Rudy Martinez the food. However, theflavorin their batch enhances every element in any dish it is served with. Another bonus that Albertacos has is that it is open 24/7, which is awesome for those late night study breaks (or to further your procrastination) from finals. , Other honorable m otions include Taco Pablos, Santanas, Jilbertos, and Taco Bell. Taco Pablos, off San Marcos Blvd. and Grand Ave., offers more of a half-service dining experience, where they bring your order, and on actual plates too! The place has less of a casual restaurant feel^ but not quite the full-service, sit downrestaurant Pablos offers restaurant style food ^and prices. It's good, but if you're looking for a quick bite, you might want to try another place. Santana's, hidden behind Arbys off San Marcos Blvd. just past Las Posas Rd., is a hidden gem, but unless you are a die hard fan, live close to it, or just want to try it for the heck of it, Santana's is rather out of the way. However, it is open 24/7 and has superb came asada nachos and rolled tacos (taquitos). Jilbertos, located within the AM/ PM off the Nordahl exit, is a relative of the Alberto's chain and has a similar menu. I'm just not too crazy on going to a gas station for a burrito. However, if you are ever in the Temecula area, there is another J ik bertos located off the 79/Temecula Pkwy exit, that I know is outstanding. I have to mention Taco bell even though its not ' 'rear' Mexican food. I do rather enjoy their double-decker tacos. T h & you have it—an unofficial gpid^ t s theibutfitp hot sj>ots around campus. Whether the ¿laving hits you as you read this£ or at 2:00 a.m. when the letters on your computer screen start doing the Mexican hat dance in the final paper you're writing, you have options' Happy Cinco de Mayo, good luck during finals, and have a great summer!

Floating images of every imaginable color radiated with an intensely soft brightness. I was in a state of feathery consciousness. My head felt like an effervescent mid-summer dream But this was not a dream, rather a reality that sees the Earth's core through a tree house window. A blue pillow tingled my hands with an oceanic breeze, a sensation felt by a sense of knowing, rather than a nerve signal White plastic bonfires fumed up toy pirate ships. Queenbed frames carried European Porsches. A cabin spew vapors, bleeding the sky with moonlit cherry red paint. Wispy wind, bird chirps, chlorine waves, young boy and giii screamsfilledmy eardrum As soon as peace iced my weightless body, the surroundings rushed away. The spiraling color waves vanished into tight space. My eyes popped open, pain that needled my backribcage. Bryan stood atop a massive boulder, peering with concern, as Tim lay flat on the ground The soft crashing of the lake's waves seemed to be the only sound in the air. The small sea of pebbles along the shore gave support to the paramedic's black boots. Bryan rushed over to Tim in hopes to see hisfriend'sconditioa Bryan noticed Tim's relaxed cheek muscles. Each pound to Tim's chest did not seem to affect him. Tim's face did not portray any sharp cuts or dirty bruises. At the moment Bryan noticed Tim's peaceful face, Bryan backed away from the scene, but still hoped to see any movement that Tim might make. One of the paramedics yelled, "We got him." Bryan slowed his jog to a crunching stop, wishing to see Tim's blue eyes open. Tim opened his eyes, but did not make eye contact with Bryan. Tim kept blinking his eyes in irritation. Tim turned his head to the right slowly, recognizing Bryan's presence. Tim managed to raiseathumb. Bryan gave a thumbs up back, allowing his body to feel a reassuring emotion for his friend. Four paramedics lifted the stretcher in unison, as Tim's body rocked slightly with each heave. Bryan dropped his butt onto the bed of shoreline pebbles. He experienced nothing but complete disbelief. The lake view half-registered into his eyesight, as he pondered what just happened. Tim's heart had stopped beating. The paramedics tried to resuscitate him back to life for nearly two minutes. The relentless pounding ofTim's chest seemed like an endless wave. The wave of desperation and hope swilled in the nature mist Bryan took a few steps back again and dropped to his knees. He prayed without saying any words. Paige, Cole, Evan, Amy, and Kimberly came running out of the forest with shock. Paige asked, "What happened Bryan? We heard the ambulance THE PRIDE sirens. Oh my gosh, what happened to Tim, is he ok? Bryan responded, "It looks like Tim will be ok now. His heart stopped beating, but they were able to bring him bade to life. Everybody in the group posed expressionless feces. Paige broke the silence and asked "how were you able to contactthe paramedics? Bryan said With a smile, "I didn't contact anybody. A moose attacked Tim and me and wefelloffthe canoe. We drifted apart, deep into the lake, but I was able to swim back to the shore. I completely lost sight of Tim when he drifted away.

Evanreplied,"Oh my G od" Bryan simply said, "Yeah, I know." Evan said, "Well, this has definitely been a f un trip, let's go to Tim's hospital before we head back home, ok guys? Paige responded, "Yeah, I don't really Jmow how toreactto this. Ijust hope Tim is going to be ok." Bryan reassured her, 'Trust me, I know Tim, he will befine,everything will be fine." As the group slowly walked up toward the forest road, Cole sarcastically said, ' 1 think Tim will be the first one to say that this was a realty fun trip."

Put on Asher Roth's "I Love College" and just vibe with me for a few paragraphs. "I'm nice right now, I feel good. If you have a drink, would you please put it in the air..." The salty solution running down my cheeks might blur my vision but it won't blur my thoughts. For my last "EF," I'd like to introduce my favorite beer, Heineken Light. With only 99 calories and a mouthful of flavors, it's a well-rounded beer. How does it taste? Like my last column, it's bittersweet. I'm also drinking it in my favorite glass. It has a bell and a four-leaf clover engraved on the top. I love college. It's been a blast. The journey began in seventh grade. Rewind. One night, I saw my mum burst into tears as she often did upon reading her son's grade reports. Both of her sons were performing poorly in school, again, my brother in high school, and myself in middle school. I'd had enough. I made a promise to myself that I would never cause my mum grief over grades again. I went from 2.0s to 4.0s in the span of one summer. Being the first one in my family to pursue a four-year degree, I knew I had set upon a challenging yet rewarding path. Thank you to all of those who guided me when I was lost, as I finally found myself accepted into CSUSM. You know who you are. Fast forward. After switching to the College of Business from a Literature and Writing major, I found I still longed to write. However, I had no channel, no medium to transfer my thoughts to text. I used to scan "The Pride." I loved the Ombudsman columns. Then I saw an advertisement one day from "The Pride" asking for writers. Little did I know that attending a quick information session on how the school paper works would change my life forever. Fast forward. I've now written for "The Pride" for three years. I've had around 120 articles published. Writing for the paper enhanced my experience at San Marcos. I felt more in tune with my environment. The different assignments forced me to discover some unique and exciting aspects at CSUSM. As soon as my training wheels were off, I shot-gunned for the "Beer of the Week" column. David Bauer mentored me through thefirstfewcolumns before I found my niche. Thank you. I wrote under several Editors-inChief: David Gatley, Jason Encabo, Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac, and lastly Jackie Carbajal. I'm sure I wasn't their favorite writer. I consistently turned my articles in on Friday nights instead of the set deadline of Thursday nights. They have each allowed me to grow as a writer. Thank you all. Pause. I'd like to dedicate this paragraph to Joan Anderson. She supervises the paper. THE PRIDE M ay the T UKWUT spirit live on forever She is a devoted and caring professor. She is always there to ensure the paper runs efficiently and properly. Without her influence, I don't know where "The Pride" would be. She even helped me when I applied to a magazine called "Honda Tuning." She directed me through the process and with her guidance, I can proudly say that I have published 15 articles in 9 issues with "Honda Tuning." Thank you. Play. My writing career with "The Pride" is ending in a few keystrokes. I am thankful I've had the opportunity to write for the paper. It made me grow from a person who liked to write, into a professional writer. This will be my last column. I'm officially signing out. I should be attending the MBA program at CSUSM Starting in the fall, but I've yet to receive the official acceptance. My Nana always told me as a kid to count the chickens after they hatch. Even if I get accepted, I will not be writing for the paper. The time has come to pass the torch. I look forward to read- ing future "Exclusively Fluid" columns. And this last paragraph is for all of you, my readers, my fellow Cougars, my professors, my CSUSM staff, and my people. It's been one crazy trip, hasn't it? A hh.. .man.. .1 love college. So raise your glasses, raise 'em high toward the sky, and keep 'em raised. I'd like to make a toast. "The pleasure was all mine. May the Tukwut spirit live in all of us forever." ^ ^ ^ ^ C heers mates! And I'm out like a faded and torn pair of c orduroys. It's not goodbye, it's next time. Peace.

W hat does it mean to "go green?" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Last Wednesday was Earth Day and the major television studios were all over it. Local and national news shows changed their logos and fonts to green for the day and featured an incredible amount of stories about recycling. Nevertheless, it was all a show. The next day logos were back to the same colors and the news proceeded as usual. The media needs to be wiser when it comes to environmentally responsible practice. Earth Day is only one day a year, but the meaning of the day should carry through. The actions of the news stations perpetuate the trend that environmental concerns are a trend more than anything else. It was difficult to watch news anchors get excited about recycling when it was obvious they were using some reserved fake enthusiasm. They do not need to get so excited about local recycling on one day. Rather, they should stress the importance of responsible behavior. It was deceiving. Just because they changed logos to green for a day does not help the problems. Sure, it was better than not doing anything. Yet, what they did is similar to an individual solving the D arfur crisis by wearing a red shirt. There is awareness, but they really are not doing anything. If a company really wanted to show they are going green, they could do more in depth stories about alternative energy, promoting recycling, and using their power to motivate the people. One of the reasons people do not care about the environment is because of ignorance. This is where the responsibility o f the television news comes into play. Based on the amount of murder and robbery stories covered, one can assume they have no problem scaring the population. If the news really wants to "go green," they need to let people know that failure to care for the environment will lead to our downfall. It is not a trend. It is being responsible and ethical. Miss USA pageant- the controversy of 2 009 BY BRITTNEY COKER Pride Staff Writer T his y ear's Miss USA pageant succeeded in c reating a controversy that w ill outlast the r eign of the newly crowned Miss USA ( North C arolina's K risten Dalton). No, none of the b eauty queens slipped in t heir evening gowns nor had b athing suit m alfunctions — the controversy, strangely enough, o ccurred d uring the interview. Miss C alifornia, C arrie P rejean, randomly selected the question w ritten by Judge M ario L avandeira, the openly gay c elebrity blogger k nown as Perez H ilton. The question seemed h armless enough "Vermont recently b ecame the f ourth state to legalize samesex m arriage. Do you t hink every state should follow suit? Why or why n ot?" Same-sex m arriage a hot issue today and the question c ouldn't have been more appropriate. Miss CA, C arrie P rejean's answer not only o ffended the j udges, but people around the country. She s tated, "We live in a land where you can c hoose same-sex m arriage or opposite, and you know what, I t hink in my country, in my family, I t hink t hat I believe t hat a marriage should be b etween a man and a woman. No o ffense to anybody out t here, but t hat's how I was r aised." W hile I r espect all viewpoints on the issue of samesex m arriage, I feel the Miss USA pageant is not the platform to express these t ypes of opinions. The Miss USA pageant con- sists of 50 c ontestants r epresenting t heir home s tates and c ompeting to r epresent the United States as a whole. As a r epresentative and as a public f igure, one must s trive to r epresent as many c onstituents as possible. Miss CA's answer, although t rue to her p ersonal b eliefs, was not r epresentative of C alifornia nor the U.S. and abandoned her r esponsibility t o the people of b oth her state and country. Additionally, it is i mportant to note that she did not answer Perez H ilton's question. I believe t his whole c ontroversy could have b een avoided if Miss CA had a nswered the question she was given and ended on that note. Hilton clearly asked if Miss CA felt the other states should follow Vermont and l egalize gay-mar- riage. T here w as not a single mention of t he s tates, t heir a bility to d ecide on t his issue, or even of C alifornia's c urrent decision on P roposition 8. It is sad to me t hat Miss CA decided to t ake t his r oute highlighting how d ivided we stand as a n ation. I w ish she would have put h er p ersonal beliefs aside f or o ne n ight and understood h er p lace as a public f igure. We do not live in a c ountry w here you can choose b etween s ame-sex m arriage or opposite (whatever that is supposed to mean), but maybe one day we w ill. Maybe wheji that day c omes, we can l earn to be a n ation t hat s tands united r ather t han d ivided on the b asis of p ersonal choice. No o ffense t o anyone out there, but I w as r aised t o love everyone no m atter what.

Alexander Hoang, the presidential incumbent, won the ASI presidential election. Many rumors and speculations regarding delay of the presidential election results ensued after ASI released theresultsof all the other ASI positions. Lynn Tcxbert, ASI Vice President and Chair ofthe Elections Committee, answered a few questions: Why did the presidential election results take so long to be revealed? Unfortunately, we hadmany allegations fUed against candidates, mostly the presidential candidates. Therefore, we could notreleasetheresultsof the presidential election until investigations andfollow-upswere finished How do you fed the process went?

The panel was comprised of Dr. George Vouiiitis and Dr. Vrvienne Bennet, both from CSUSM, and Mr. Bruce Wilkinson from Water Business. The Political Science Club together with the Model United Nations Club sponsored the event The discussion focused on various factors of water scarcity within our county, including the cost of importing water and what solutions may be possible for preventing future water scarcities. Dr. Vouiiitis aimed his presentation on the general facts of the water cycle, including the process of water inputs, outputs, storage, and climate models. '"Given the low variable rainfall of ourregion,most of our water has to be imported," Vouiiitis said Vouiiitis pointed out that climate models predict an increase in temperature and a decline in rainfall in the western U.S.resultingin less water causing the current Level 2 drought "The Mure looks grim," Vouiiitis added Bennet focused on where our water camefromstating that 54 percent of our water supplyfor2008came from the Colorado River basin. "Southern California is in a crisis. We are importing about 85 percent of our water," Bennet said She discussed the idea of creating new canals and river pipelines for a more direct form ofreceivingwater but discussed how that mayresultas a heavy tax burden to taxpayers. Wilkinson wrapped up discussion by expanding on drinking water statistics such as waterrelateddiseases and deaths as well as possible solutions to this "dry" dilemma. Welcome to the new dark ages Swine Flu becomes potential global health threat BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer With pirates threatening ships at sea and a new possible epidemic of influenza threatening the globe, some may forget we are living in the 21st century. As of April 26, 2009 reports confirmswinefluintheU.S. "We have five affected states. There are eight cases confirmed in New York City, there's one case confirmed in Ohio, two in Kansas, two in Texas, and seven in California," said Dr. Richard Bresser, Acting Director for the Centers of Disease and Control Prevention, in a White House press briefing on the swine flu epidemic. Mexico, considered the center of the swinefluspread, reported 22 of 86 suspected deaths as a direct result of the virus, and approximately 1,600 currently infected as of late Sunday, according to the Associated Press. Mexico city officials warned citizens to suspend any travel, urged people to avoid public areas and wear mouth-masks to prevent further contamination, school has also been cancelled for flu cases, including Mexico, the U.S, Canada, New Zealand and Isreal. students..

He teaches in both undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of quantitative and survey research methods. Balian was nominated for 2007-2008 President's Award for Innovations in Teaching (a university record of eight nominations). In conjunction with his academic success, Balian has an established career as a musician, photographer, and an author of business texts. "The Pride" had the opportunity to sit down and interview Professor Balian. THE PRIDE: You have an impressive resume. How do you find the time to do it all? EDWARD BALIAN: I would sum it up by saying I use operation management applications in my life to manage my time. It's all about efficiency, planning, and organizing important business and personal elements. Operation management helps me make the best use of my time and helps me operate my busy life, being efficient in their time usage (as in operations management techniques), and having a strong self-discipline—you need both. I believe all people are capable of accomplishing far more than what they think they can IF they really apply themselves. THE PRIDE: On your website, you stated that your lifechanging, first rock and roll record was "Walk, Don't Run" (1959) by The Ventures. Can you describe the experience and how it changed your life? BALIAN: Well, this was before your time. The album was huge. It was a huge record. It's what you would call "surf guitar" nowadays. The drums were so wild and rocked up. I was hooked from there. I was about ten years old [and] the record was like outer space futuristic. From then on, I wanted to play guitar. THE PRIDE: On your website, you state that your favorite bands are The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Can you tell me why? BALIAN: Creativity. They have creativity beyond anyone else, even to this day. With these groups, you don't know what to expect next. They were so captivating. THE PRIDE: What was your first musical experience? BALIAN: When I was about eight or ten years old, I wrote an original piece on the clarinet. The piece was about two minutes long. But after I heard the guitar, there was no more clarinet for me. Actually, my uncle was a concert symphony violinist. All my aunts and uncles played something. THE PRIDE: Was the clarinet your first instrument then? BALIAN: Yes, the clarinet and drums on shoe boxes. THE PRIDE: So how did the GeorgeEdwards Group come together? BALIAN: The GeorgeEdwards Group is a two-piece band. Raymond George, my musical partner in Los Angeles, is the cofounder. Our group came from a four-piece band from Detroit. It was about the late 60's or early 70's. I guess you can say the Edwards Group evolved from the Detroit band, Andromeda. That was before anyone knew how to say Andromeda; it was before the book "Andromeda Strain." THE PRIDE: Can you recall your first concert experience? BALIAN: I was about sixteen. It was a Beatles concert. I was twenty feet away from them. I paid five dollars and fifty cents that was top price at the time. The arena had about 18,000 people. It was a huge audience. This was way before the rock stadiums. It was almost unheard of to have a crowd that large. Back then, that was a giant concert. It was wild. THE PRIDE: How would you describe the sound of the GeorgeEdwards Group? BALIAN: That's the key to our album's success. The reviewers say that our music is unique and different. It's not a like the Stones, Beatles or Pink Floyd. It's like pieces of all those bands mixed together. I would describe it as a swirling combination of those sounds. We were just trying to be ourselves, that's the secret. We were just being ourselves. We weren't trying to fit the mold. Actually, I was told within this past year that our sound is like "Space Rock," a sound in Europe during the early 70's. We'd never even heard of that or had no idea it existed. We have a large following in Europe actually. That's where a lot of our fans come from. I think music is characterized as being esoteric, intellectual, and psychedelic. It's not the kind of music you would hum in your car. It's something deeper than that. THE PRIDE: Do you have any new projects in the works? BALIAN: Yes, actually I have a lot in the works. The GeorgeEdwards Group is working on two brand new CDs. Our record company made a deal with iTunes and we'll be on that pretty soon. There is also a vinyl record reissue being re-pressed. Silversky Orchestra just completed a CD of piano and orchestra music. I am also working on recording two brand new songs. THE PRIDE: So if you could spend the rest of your life not worrying about anything and doing whatever you want, what would you do? BALIAN: Exactly what I am doing right now. I love teaching and I love my students. I want their success and I want to see all of them succeed. I also want some sort of involvement in music and the other creative arts. THE PRIDE: Do you have any last words of advice? BALIAN: Yes, this is an interesting story. The band, you never know what's going to happen next. You never know what's going to happen in your life. Always do your best all the time. You never know what will happen, what opportunities will come, when they'll come. Always, always do your best no matter what you're doing. THE PRIDE: Last question, if you had a superpower what would it be? BALIAN: I would want to live forever, to help others and create.

CSUSM recycled an all time high of 78 percent. CSUSM's Blue Crew and Green Team diligently sorted through the garbage and ^ recycle cans, sep- ^ arating out recyclables from nonrecyclables. CSUSM owes its fifth consecutive win to each and every member of the campus community. From the students who made the effort to throw stuff in the bins, to administration who provided the bins in quantity, to staff who went through old files and trash, to people involved in supply acquisitions who order materials that are recyclable. CSUSM Recycling Coordinator Carl Hanson also personally thanked member of the UniverVillage Apartments for their involvement in RecycleMania. "Special thanks to Brian Dawson and everyone over at UVA for the great help that they gave in their first year of participation in RecycleMania. Their effort was awesome," said Hanson. CSUSM won the competition by almost 14 points above the nearest competitor. Other prize winners include first time entrant McNeese State University who grabbed both the "Stephen K. Gaski Per Capita Classic" and "Corrugated Cardboard" awards. What makes this Louisiana school's performance all the more impressive is that it is entirely student organized. Bard College won the "Food Service Organics" trophy. Kalamazoo College won "Bottles and Cans." Stephens College won a second time in the "Paper" category. Rutgers University claimed the "Gorilla Prize," which is total weight of recycling. The competition is not just a final count at the end of the 10 weeks, there is an ongoing count, which everyone knows and so the lead often changes as efforts increase to catch up, go ahead, or regain the lead.

Of the Tide Courtney Kilian For dinner: apple, goat cheese, onion, omelet. Dissolving peptides, a medicated ritual. Her porch, a smorgas of bells and chimes. Sand dollars, paper weights, stilted birds. She lost her voice a long time ago. Hysterical laryngitis. Family members knew it was her when she called because there was no response to hello other than a tapping of a pen on a hard surface. Three hard taps for How are you? Six lighter ones, two hard, four, equated to a range of other responses. For lunch: an ethereal licking of a turquoise twilight. A beached examination. Curl lipped, pencil straight teeth, bearing them whiter than she would have expected for an animal. Black skin taut as it purpled under the sun, distant maroon spots crimsoning as flies gorge flesh. Bits of shell dug into her feet. Frictions, fissures. Feel of seaweed, a slippery twirl about her leg that let her know she was not alone. Days of putting sunscreen on before going in, waiting a half hour after eating, shuffling her feet so she didn't step on a sting ray, warnings of pee turning purple when mixed with salt water. Sun, synapses, ladled fog. A ballerina punctuated, painted in the clouds. A trembling example of human origami. Of dreams collaged and tides stolen. Neighborhoods with childless strollers. Of umbilical cords tethered to tiny shoes, of pig skins, and fetuses, of a sea urchin's breath, and the tongue of a lantern's single moth. Sometimes she fell asleep in the sand. Other nights she wandered into the tide, hoping it was heavy enough to pull her out.

The feeling is mutual. The rest of the world thinks that squirrels are cute woodland creatures, but I know the truth: They are just rats with fuzzy tails using their cuteness to mooch off dim-witted humans with food to spare. I know the truth. One of the little bastards once chewed his way through my brand new beach bag as I relaxed in the sand, reading Lolita. I would never have known if it weren't for the hot guy who I thought was checking me out. He was actually watching the beast drag my trail-mix through thefreshly-chewedhole in the bottom of my bag. I would gladly have grabbed the disgusting little creature and wrung his neck myself, if it weren't for the raging case of rabies I'm sure he had. Squirrels don't like me. One day I realized how far these disgusting vermin would go, to terrorize me. It was a summer morning like any other. The sun was not yet out, which meant that I could head offto the beach for a peaceful walk, before the crowds got there. I dragged my daughter, Alexa, out of bed and informed her that she'd be joining me. After a short discussion, she relented, and we got to Ponto beach before the sun had burned off the morning haze. It was my favorite time behind the little guy, I started walking toward of day, and I was happy to be spending it with him with my arms outstretched.

Heaven is in the details. Every fourth Thursday when Taylor crosses that state line he turns off at mile 543. And one night he is early, still in his cab just past midnight as she arrives, her Valiant chugging up to the unlit side of Omer's Diner. One booted leg steadies itself on the ground while she reaches to the back seat and grabs a karate ghi to cover herreddress. Her pale outline against the dark of mid night startles anew; wakefulness.

I tried to save him," but the tears were already blurring my vision. "How was I supposed to know the stupid thing would run toward me?" We walked down the beach to where the body lay. When we got close enough to get a better look at his face, we could see that it was, basically, missing. His flesh was hanging off his head. It looked like he had met the Cajun Cook and lived to tell about it, at least until I came into the picture. I felt terrible. Still, I couldn't help but think that maybe my attempt to save his life gone awry had really put him out of his misery. How long would he have wandered around the beach, trying to figure out what had given him this splitting headache, if I hadn't come along? Later that night, after I had told the story at least a hundred times, Alexa, Kendall, Dane and Jared called me into the kitchen. I could hear giggles. There, on the table, was my beach bag, the one with the hole chewed into it. A Beanie Baby squirrel, his eyes taped shut with x's, was lying near the bag. Trail mix was strewn about. "Oh my God," I thought. "Who raised these children?" Lori Greenstone for Sale' hang in the windows. As she stops to enter from the dark lot she is a Klimt still life in reverse, phosphorescent light against the kiosk dot and symmetry of too much pattern still alive. "No more angel food cake?" he asks when she reaches the table farthest from the door where Taylor seeks refuge. She looks toward the kitchen and shakes her head. He thinks it is Omer who has put an end to it, Sunday's special still there on Thursday, her feeding it to the truck drivers too old to care. He reaches for the greenware mug before it is set on the table, but she withdraws it, arcing to the side where it now rests, no splash in her, having long since lost both security and certainty. She sets the mug of coffee down with her left hand, walks away one booted foot infrontof an unequal other, a shadow of blue running up herrightarm, fading into elbow under the white ghi. No more drive, he returns to his truck, climbs behind the sojourning seat and lays headlong in a berth of sleep. Tapestries and textures tap, tap, tapping his mind, weaving and leaving lines, electric wires turning blue under his skin, illuminating signs he cannot read. On his lidded screen she is sitting, waiting, wide-eyed but never looking ahead. Her head in her hand, she stares off to the side, her elbow stacked atop her knee on one exposed leg, her chin resting on one warm hand. As if an artist has drawn it too big, then outlined it in red, a line runs down the side of herfleshypalm, a flaw solved, disappearing into the dress. Always crimson, always waiting, he wakes to her image tipping his senses into the day he sleeps through waiting for the night of driving, always forward, always on. Another round of unnamed signs brings him back to mile 543 where an unimprinted '£>' is written on her blank nametag, watersoluble dots on plastic, sustaining a place for a name he wishes he knew. "'D' for Darlene?" he asks, suddenly old, Rumplestiltskin revisited. One finger moves to the T>', transferring off the ink, the protruding shape obliterating her finger blue, a miracle of flesh and thought "Just Dee." The words form in his mind as he stares again at the symbols on the menu. He looks up to see if her lips have moved, but he is unsure. "I'm hungry, but I don't know what. v. What would you suggest?" he asks, her pad poised for his order. She bends toward the menu, the smell of silent snow on age-soft stone. The whistle of a train passing behind Omer's diner inclines her back toward it. Then, "Bring what you like," he says, a wrap of trust and apathy hard-baked in a crust. Her head, turned toward the passing train, nods, and smothered sighs in lines and dots she does not write tap Morse code on his mind. "With nuts," he calls to her. The red slingback is left on tonight, ever so slyly listing to the right as she walks off to the kitchen, her knee halffrozenon its tweedled hinge, manic from the leg down. The food, when it comes, is nutritive communion. Mustard onfrilledlettuce sprinkled with almonds and small hunks of hamfroman omelette withheld, gingered apples by the side, what unhungry people crave. But for him, a venture restored, a difference soothed. Another four weeks out he turns off at mile 543. She glows through tapestried cracks in the window waiting for coffee to pour, to read minds on the menu. A crater on a collision course entering Omer's diner, he hopes to greet her in the familiar, at one of eight empty tables, no booths to hide in. But the quiet of the night that is morning speaks the orders that don't matter, except coffee. Just once if he could occupy her gaze, but still, she looks off to the side and brings whatever she likes, just what he wants. Eager, he reaches for the plate, but her movements circle around his and the plate is down. Key Lime Pie so pale it is white. Taylorreaches to touch herrighthand, the one that holds the pad she never writes on, the words he never says. He hears but does not see their formation, yet he knows the whispered meaning; please don't. It is spoken as a warning, as a Madonna protects from harm, but he can't heed it. He spills the coffee she sets down, stops her hand as she pulls back, quicker than he looks. "Mea culpa," he says, a dreamer reaching out to absence. Her hand, loose against the pad will be cold to his coffee spilled palm, but it is not. It is hot with an iciness that stings until the next fourth Thursday when she is not there. And Omer says she never was. �Tuesday, April 28, 2 009 THE PRIDE 73 C rH D m >O • d D scüC O oC •H CQ g T5 • C -H c O d 73 a ß -H O • ß COW O d 1 M oi tn 73 4 3 o ß o rH cM d rH rQ P co C d O >i c d (C dD C co U D m 73 > rH c 55 C d D u CW O o W •« • -d O 4 3 Cp D ß rß o O •H 43 u Ü H a Q. • 4> C D 1D > () C O O •H x: C O fr 4 3 P 4-4 C D • " VMß C¡ O5 0 u< ü rQ Cm CM D D Cn Üc d ß a) P O 73 O D g -P C Mß 1 u O •H co d Cü D O ( rH C ü rH S O c 0 >i M d UÄ Ü 0 P d) P— UU C D < D •g ßc BCg SD • MCP D U rß C D > C 43 Qo* -H s 4 3 o cd C D cd O O Q Cn ß rQ D Q gO PC o S rß -H Üo O O O •C Q C O >1 Q_ rH C C M QD rH S rH O < P O cd D 4-1 C rß C D Q 1C D g J s d) Q t> ü C cd S C •ß D CS C O rß ü D -O & PQ 4 3 C p u -H c^» rH P cd cd O rß H o -ß 4-3 -H C rß O C Cn 4-) D rQ H -H cd O S -H 73 • C O Ä 4-3 I C D > -H M 73 & 13 </) D Q O PÄ rQ O M CC dO 4-3 CD O Pi < d ft 73 ß cd < ü M PS w S Cn < C C ö CO 7 3 cd (1) -H 4-> S H cd 4-4 O •H 4-> 73 C C cd D g5 >i P rH o rH >1 cd u pu 4-3 C D > cd ßC D •C D d C P gc D > M o 4H M cd cn P co C O 4-) <C DO -H 0) N -H Pß Cß O •H D 73 < X O C 4-3 C D 4-> 4-3 cd • ß »H C O -H P 4-4 0) C D 1 - > -H +4 cd -H 73 p 0 Cn o1 rß O rß M • C C Q cd D >QM rß C oC o pO o CO • (D g -H -P J £ ü cd •H rQ 0« » ^0 P ß -H C rH D g < D M> (d -h rH Cr» O oc d CD CD CC DD MO -H O D ß w C 0l< . • U P 4-4 -H •P P I <[ W I P Q • • • • • d) rß 4J cd o -H M CD • • • • O P S r* OO ßCCP S cd rH O Cd >1 O d) • • • •I Cn I •| O D O DO o C T3 T5 C C C >i C •ß C O D ß 4-3 Ü rH O C ß > m j a (D H t P ,Q Ü 73 C -H d) cd O d cd co g ß -H (0 g P -p cd ß Q •H H > (d S O cd U M U C fp • -H M M C O fi iU d 03 -H S cd fr o >i CO (ü 4-> 4-3 «H D T3 ß < 04u 0) o rC C D * PC.

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer A week without a plan, movies all over the map, and the result is a week with t hree very enjoyable f ilms. Would you believe a Chinese Will Smith? Film number two is an u pdated movie by an old time comic. You w ill when you see t he f irst selection. Finally we take a look at an old cult classic comedy. So sit back and watch some movies f illed with ups and f ree of downs. "Ping Pong Playa" stars Jimmy Tsai as Christopher ' C-dub' Wang as a young adult who d reams of playing in the NBA yet he j ust d oesn't seem to have what it takes to make it h appen. While he claims g enetics have l eft him two inches short of his d ream, the r eality is that his l aziness is k illing any hopes he may have. His b est f riend D.B. is the only one willing to drown his u nrealistic NBA dreams and force C-Dub to accept his lot in l ife and begin doing something with it. The Wang f amily seems like a t raditional Chinese/ A merican f amily, and in t his f ilm, the f ather r uns the f amily " Ping Pong" supply store while the mother teaches p ing-pong at the local community center. C -Dub's " perfect" older b rother is a doctor and champion ping-pong player. W hile out g oofing o ff with D.B., C -Dub's antics lead to a car w reck. In the accident, his b rother and mother are mildly i njured. C-Dub, with much reticence, f inally takes his place in the family and f ills in for his mother's classes and f or his brother in the pingpong t ournament. In this f reshman f ilm, Tsai is both the w riter and lead actor. He plays it safe and keeps e verything down the middle of the road. For a f ilm with l imited r isks, there is a very nice reward in the f inal p roduct. If you close your eyes f or a moment while watching t his f ilm, you j ust might t hink you were watching the "Fresh P rince of Bel-Air." It would be hard to p redict that Tsai will be the next Will Smith, but it is not d ifficult to compare him at t his early stage of his career with Will Smith at the same stage in his. Nice story, nice p roduction, and a very f un f lick. I look f orward to his next f ilm, and a fter watching t his I t hink you will too. What to See *** "Hollywood Endings" is w ritten and directed by Woody A llen, who also s tars as Val, a great f ilm d irector whose career has vanished due to his d ifficult temperament. As a young moviemaker, A llen's humor was hip, c utting, and o riginal. His early f ilms such as " Sleeper," "Take the Money and R un," and " Bananas" quickly established him as an all time great writer, director, and actor. Then he lost his way. Allen began to spend too much time t rying to prove his i ntellectual prowess, much like Dennis Miller, and in the process sent audiences yawning and sleep walking to the exits. In t his f ilm, Allen has come f ull circle, and r eturns to his comedic roots with a very enjoyable f eature. He has mellowed over time, but here he proves that his ability to a rtistically create f ilm comedy is as sharp as ever. This is a great cast, with Tea Leoni as Val's ex-wife. She is tough as n ails, yet still has a s oft spot for Val. The best p erformance is by Debra Messing as Lori, Val's love i nterest. Lori is a slightly dimwitted starlet, and M essing's p erformance, although minor, is t ruly captivating. The one limiting aspect of this f ilm is the demographic. I think anyone under sixteen will f ind nothing appealing in this f ilm. The more years you have put behind you f rom age sixteen, the more this f ilm will touch your sensibilities. There are young adults who will strongly i dentify with Tony "Scumbag X," Val's son. This is a solid f ilm f rom s tart to f inish. What to See**** "The Kentucky Fried Movie" This f ilm was w ritten by rookie w riters Jim Abrams and brothers David and J erry Zucker, and was d irected by John Landis. So what? Well, Landis has d irected some alltime classics such as "Animal House," "Beverly H ills Cop I II," and Michael Jackson's " Thriller." The w riters went on to w rite such classic spoofs as "Airplane," "Hot Shots," and "Top Secret." What t his means is that t his f ilm is the premiere work of f our stooges, and I mean that in a good way. This is a series of sketch comedies as you might expect to have seen on "SNL" in the 70's. The humor is p uerile, lowbrow, and yet somehow s till, a fter all these years* it is very f unny. Whether it is Cleopatra Schwartz, watching a movie in " feel-a-round" (this was made when surround sound was still f resh and new), or "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" (which is there to a ttract the 13-17 male demographic), e verything here ranges f rom mildly silly to very f unny. There is no r ust on t his f ilm, j ust a nice p atina. D on't be reluctant to dust t his one o ff and watch it. While the episode, "A F istful of Yen," may make you t hink about m artial a rts in a completely new light, overall, t his f ilm will shine a little laughter on your l ife. What to See *** Lisa Hannigan BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor Backup singers are, by popular definition, vocalists that could not cut it as lead singers. Every musician or band needs backup support on tour, though I am sure some soloists would love if they could harmonize with themselves live. As such, one might imagine backup singers' careers are as fragile as a single-press album. Off the top of your head, try to come up with a musician who started out as humble support and became successful. Unlikely, right? The Eagles are easily the epitome of classic Americana. Glenn Frey started his career with Bob Seger in 1968. The multi-platinum artist Sheryl Crow toured with the unbelievably famous Michael Jackson. Luther Vandross, soul royalty, contributed vocals with several artists in the 60's and toured supporting David Bowie in the 70's. And Lisa Hannigan gave six creative years to Damien Rice. Now, she has released her first full-length album. Irish native Lisa Hannigan was born in 1981 in County Photo courtesy of americansongwriter.com Meath. She began performing professionally with Damien Rice in 2001, mostly singing with him on recordings and occasionally contributing guitar or bass in live performances. Hannigan also appears on recordings with The Frames, Snow Patrol lead singer Gary Lightbody, and the late Mic Christopher. In 2007, Hannigan and Rice had a "falling out" of sorts, and she immediately left tour to begin solo work. In early 2009, Hannigan released "Sea Sew" in the states. Hannigan's appeal lies in her breathy, ethereal voice. However, in the album track, "Pistachio," she presents her poetic ability as well. The song begins with a simple piano riff quickly evolving into a crafted melody. A jazz bass and gentle drum join the mix, producing a pleasantly folky blend. Hannigan sings, "I do, like sugar, tend toward the brittle and sticky when spun," filling the song with her increasingly powerful voice. The decidedly soothing ballad ends with a swirling cello, closing lightly with harmonious hums. Hannigan and her band are currently gearing up for a UK tour.

The label features a tent nesting by a gentle fire underneath a dark blue star-studded sky as a comet passes overhead in the distance. Desert tan and river turquoise color the packaging. A red bottle cap with the company's name and logo seals an ale with a 4.7% alcohol by volume. The brew pours smooth generating a subtle head. The head dissipates leaving a thin lancet. A beautiful amber hue radiates from the chilled glass. The ale enters with a quick shock. Shortly thereafter, a more sugary mellow yummy tone takes over.

The highly anticipated "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is the f irst summer blockbuster of 2009. This f ilm, staring Hugh Jackman should blow away the other f ilms this week. The summer movie season is s tarting early in May with several anticipated f ilms, such as "Star Trek" and "Up" Arts & Entertainment Early in April, a copy of "Wolverine" was mishandled and copies of the movie wound up on the black market. Online remarks of those who have gotten a hold of it are mixed. I expect there will be stunning actions scenes, as seen in the trailers. If this movie can create a balance with the plot, character development, and action, as the f irst two "X-Men" f ilms did, t his will be an awesome f ilm. With the wild expectation of "Wolverine," it could be easy to forget about the other f ilms out this week. The other entries this week are a romantic comedy and an animated sci-fi f ilm. Matthew McConriughey and Jennifer Garner star in "Ghosts of G irlfriends Past." McConaughey plays a womanizer who must revisit past relationships in a Dickens "Christmas Carol" style. This is because he let Garner's character slip away and he must get he back. It seems predictable, but it might be something for those who do not want to see "Wolverine." Lastly, there is "Battle for Terra." I have mixed thoughts Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox about t his animated f ilm. It is arriving in theaters soon. This week belongs to "Wolverine." Hugh Jackman r eturns as Wolverine in this prequel to the "X-Men" series. The loaded cast includes Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schreiber, and Danny Huston back him up. The f ilm explores Wolverine's past and shows how the man with regenerative powers developed his signature claws. It is also loaded with other heroes and villains including Cyclops, The Blob, Sabretooth, and comic fan favorites Gambit and Deadpool. THE PRIDE Image courtesy ofLionsgate Studios set in f uture a fter the destruction of E arth, and tackles heavy humanity issues. The surviving humans set out to conquer a p eaceful alien planet in order survive. This f ilm is loaded with political sentiment and great actors yet the dialogue and CGI-look of the f ilm in the trailer makes me think I will wait until this comes out on DVD. A d ifferent studio, such as Disney, might have handled this story better. Regardless, neither of these f ilms will make a dent in "Wolverine's" box o ffice earnings. The gross f rom "Wolverine" should gauge how much people are willing to pay for movies this summer.

You know, in that way Everyone is a geek BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Everyone loves being pleased. Every time it happens, it's like your birthday. Someone is taking time out of their day and their personal lust for physical gratification so that you can get your jollies off. And it might include cake and ice cream when it's all over, so technically, you both win. Know when I say "pleasing" your partner, I mean pleasing them in terms that may not include intercourse in any way. This can include outercourse, emotional pleasing, or j ust simply being happy together. I am sure all of us out there want to please our partners because (it's true) we love them. We love them and we want them to get the most out of our sexual experiences. Whether we want to get down and start pleasing our men/women remember that you are in love. If you are not in love and just there for the ride, then you're either a horrible person or in d enial. But n onetheless, whether you love the person you're with or not, remember that this form of outercourse might as well be just as serious as intercourse and the necessary safety precautions should be taken. But according to a friend that I know very well, the one thing all of you need to remember, no matter your sex or your partner's, remember this sequence: clockwise for 20 seconds, counter clockwise 10 seconds, left, right, left, right, and clockwise for 10 seconds. If this doesn't work, don't blame me, it sounded legitimate (plus he has credentials, he's a psychology major). But then again, if you really want to use this logic of love making, you might as well follow the Contra code (anybody else remember it? Up, up, down, down, l eft, right, left, right, B, A, START). I apologize if I offend anyone, but everyone is a geek. Society has dragged this term through the mud and made it into an insult. Being a geek is simply being passionate about something. No matter the person, everyone is a geek. I am a geek about movies, especially zombieflicks,Westerns, and sci-fi. I enjoy all video games from shooters, to strategy, to role-playing. I will even admit that I still dabble in Pokémon, because it is a great game. Actually, Pokémon is very similar to fantast football or basketball brackets considering the strategy and tactics involved. My passion for these things makes me a geek. In high school, I would have been ashamed, but now I am empowered by it. I do not care if people mock me, because these are what I like. Everybody gets their kicks off something, whether it is sports, "Star Trek," animals, "World of Warcraft," coffee, cars, or anything else, it is perfectly normal. It is abnormal to not be passionate about something. If you take abuse for what you love, my advice is do not stop. Never give up something you love because of what someone else says. Ignore those who put you down, because if they get in the way of your passions, they do not care about you. On the other hand, control your passion. Do not force it on other people. Just because you like something, you do not have the authority to make others like it. Introduce them with small doses. Even too much for you can be self-destructive. If you enjoy knocking others because they enjoy something "geeky," look at yourself. You are not so different. Think about what your passions. Just because society deems what you like "cool," you are still a geek. In the end, you are going to be alone. Whether you have developed a love of sports statistics or action figures, embrace what you do. Being a geek is nothing to make fun of, because every single person reallya geek. And that is a good thing. The division of addition and illegal aliens BY BLAINE H MOGIL Pride Staff Writer Through the addition of immigrants seeking a better life, we have become a nation of division. There no longer remains a singular us, but a divided us and them. Some divisions hide below the surface, while others stand tall, reaching out across hundreds of miles of desert, separating us from our friends and neighbors in Mexico. Our nation is losing her way and her moral compass in need of repair. Our nation today is one obsessed with political correctness. We live in a time where we so fear offending others that we separate and insulate ourselves. In the process, honest communication is lost. Together, we must revive honest and open communication in order to reunite and reconnect. While we avoid the offensive labeling of others with derogatory nomenclature out of political correctness, we have at the same time ironically adopted the use of the highly offensive word "alien" to describe immigrants. In the process we have created the great chasm of us and them by burning the bridge that connects us. It is time for us to openly agree to disagree with each other, return to communicating honestly with one another, and together find ways to peacefully coexist. This will illuminate the path back to a united us. The United States of America is a country that many people consider the greatest on earth. This honor can only be earned through deeds, and not through hollow claims of greatness. As a nation, we have forgotten our history. We have forgotten who we are and where we have come from. We have forgotten what, at the very heart, makes our nation great. It is the immigrant. We are all immigrants. Every last one of us is an immigrant. There is not one person living anywhere in North America, let alone within the confines of United States borders who does not owe their lives here to immigration. We implore the world to "bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses," with an engraved invitation on that most American symbol of freedom: the Statue of Liberty. Do we have the brazen audacity to forget the vital lessons of how, and by whom, this great nation was built? How dare we assume a political posture that somehow today immigrants are no longer worthy enough to live on this soil? How dare we see immigrants as some type of invasive foreign entity that will somehow destroy the very fabric of our society? How dare we label our fellow citizens of this small planet with the dehumanizing term of illegal "aliens?" We should be ashamed of ourselves for even thinking about people who have immigrated here in such a demeaning and derisive manner. The Native American Indians arrived here, by many accounts, across a bridge of ice from Asia over ten thousand years ago in search of a better life. The Viking Erik the Red led his people here over a thousand years ago in search of a better life. While searching for shorter trade routes to the Far East in search of exotic spices, Spain settled colonies here nearly five hundred years ago, with the Puritans following their lead a hundred years later. America has long brought together people from all walks of life, and added the richness of their cultures to the American melting pot. For hundreds of years mixing together the cultural spices of myriad cultures has created the great banquet of American society. Yet today we fear that by adding any more immigrants to this mix from south of the border will somehow throw this great banquet out of balance. This is an idea which is baseless, fallacious and ludicrous. The only thing more ridiculous is building a wall across our southern border to keep Mexican immigrants out. The wildly incredible claim that this wall will keep out terrorists and drug traffickers is simply a rouse. The wall is a monument built solely to placate a public that has been whipped into frenzy of fear by conservative talk show hosts. Terrorists and drug traffickers will find the wall no hindrance. If terrorists and drug traffickers want to circumvent the wall, they will continue to go over, under, around it. More likely they will find another way into our country as they prefer the path of least resistance. This 'Wall of Shame' is the only thing remotely as ignominious as calling our neighbors "aliens." Now is the time for us to abandon our status as an "Alien Nation" and reclaim our status as a nation of the world. To paraphrase President Reagan's Berlin speech, we as a nation need to come to understand, once again, the importance of freedom. We need to develop new policies of reform and openness." This can be the beginning of profound change here in the United States. But this change must be real, and not simply a series of token gestures intended to create false hope. I understand the fear of terror and the pain of division that afflicts this country. Please, President Obama, pledge that our country will overcome these burdens. As President Reagan said, "We believe that freedom and security go together." So President Obama, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the United States and North America, I say to you now President Obama, tear down this wall. As this symbolic and very real representation of the division between us is felled, so too will the division between us and those who seek a better life here in the United States fall. And then can the healing begin, and can hopes and dreams be rise from the ashes of bridges burned. �Viewpoint T HE P RIDE Tuesday, April 21, 2009 3 Classifieds Retired investment executive w/adv. degree in Mathematics and six years college math instruction exp. is avail, to tutor college level math courses.

"Pollen allergy, commonly An allergy reaction is the called hay fever, is one of the immune system's response to a false alarm, the immune system reads an allergen as a foreign containment in the body and thus begins to attack it and causes itchy eyes, a runny nose, and often coughing and sneezing. Researchers develop theories to determine the leading source that cause allergies, but a pin pointed reason remains unknown. Theories include that in modern living, homes are very 'clean and often have very little germs, thus this ultra clean environment never allows the immune system to adapt and learn how tofightoff airborne allergies because of the lack of exposure. The NIAID supported scientist's research that discovered a link between children whom grew up with one or two cats or dogs i n their home and their susceptibility to allergies. The study revealed that the children were less likely to develop allergies. The early exposure to the constant pet allergen may have been the contributing factor for an allergy free life. Another leading theory is heredity. "Children are more likely to develop allergies if one or both parents have allergies. In addition, exposure to allergens at times when the body's defenses are lowered or weakened, such as after a viral infection or during pregnancy, seems to contribute to developing allergies," according to the NIAID. In severe forms of allergies, asthma is often connected. The respiratory symptoms of asthma, which affect approximately 11 million Americans, are often provoked by airborne allergens, according to NIAID. So what is being done to help aid this epidemic? Many cleaning products are taking action against this more than common bother, by creating products that are allergen reducers, such as Fabreze® Fabric Refresher™. The allergen reducer claims to reduce more than 75 percent of pollen and dust mite allergens in fabrics.

The three-hour fair took place on University Hall Plaza. This cultural tradition was organized by University Global Affairs Committee and was sponsored by Co-Curricular Funding Award, Office of Global Education, ASI, SLL, LLC and Many Student Organizations The International Fair gives CSUSM students, friends, faculty, and staff the opportunity to come together and appreciate the many cultures that make our university. One of the most anticipated traditions of the International Fair is the free sample dishes from Europe, Latin America, Asia and many more. Every year, the German booth's popularity seems to increase. Senior CSUSM student, Jean Scheuneman says, "Every year we get 300 Rohwurst. We never know how many people are going to show up, but we just do the best we can and we get a lot of people from our club to help out." Aside from all the mouth-wa- tering food, the International Fair featured entertainment with performances by TAM TAM Mandingue, West African drummers, and Hip Hop group Soul Junkies. Kwame Degbor, a visiting professor, enlightened spectators with a Ghanaian dance. Another highlight of the Inter- "It keeps growing, it keeps getting bigger and better. I think this is one of out best events of the year. Just the International Fair in itself and how all the ethnic clubs and Orgs and everybody coming out here, enjoying the free food, enjoying the culture, it's just a day of unity really. I'm just happy to be a part of it!" says Alexander. Each table at the fair included a variety of displays.

Photos by Gabriela Martinez Theater department brings Big Love to C SUSM BY CHRIS SHAW Pride Staff Writer understanding the real nature of love. The dialogue ranges with dramatic irony, as the female and male characters unveil the hardships we all face in gender roles. The play begins with a sensual bathtub scene andfiftybrides arriving in Italy as they have fled from their assigned marriages in Greece. The performer's versatile abilities portray the complexity of each character. Jason Gonzales (Giuliano), Cole Tran (Leo), Claudina E. Evans and Tiffany-Raven Peters (Eleanor), and Jessica Swan (Bella), shed moments of laugh-out-loud humor and inner giggles. The audience will surely not forget performances Hie CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts brought "Big Love" to our campus with a spark of dramatic flare and infectious enthusiasm last week with performances from April 15-19. As an audience spectator, I had no choice but to give some big love to all of the performers. Don't be fooled by the play's title. Big Love does not succumb to cliched Varieties of romantic bliss and the Disney version of everlasting courtship. Directed by Marcos Martinez and produced by Charles Mee, "Big Love" delves deeper into by the three leading ladies played by Kristine Fernandez and Patricia Bowen (Olympia), Krista Potocny and Jessica Ruiz-Bustos (Lydia), and Yolanda Catano (Thyona). The brides and the three grooms played by Jesus Moreno and Drew Quizon (Nikos), Mucio Vidales (Constantine), and David Edwards (Oed) showed excellent stamina as they pounded their fists in tantrums, rolled on the floor in emotional agony, and combined yelling with moments of passionate subtlety. To set the tone for the evening, the audience is greeted by two women in bright white bride dresses as an usher with black rings around his eyes will open the door for you to the Arts 111 auditorium. You may have even seen theseflayingbrides run around the International Fair this past Thursday. As I arranged myself to sit in the middle row, the enchanting and classic wedding music set the tone for a memorable on-campus experience. The eerie mood will creep into your mind, a mood not only set by the plot, but also by the performances of everybody on stage. The stage, withflowingbackground images of Italy's countryside, remains simple with a bathtub and cylindrical bars. The simple stage allows the performers to make drastic body move- ments and choreographed ballroom dance scenes. The most impressive aspect of the performance shined through in the delivery of personal speeches in which the performer talks upfront to the audience. These personal speeches combine sweeping philosophical statements with very human perspectives on love. A refreshing emphasis of characterto-audience dialogue can be seen in this "Big Love" quote, "For the sake of healing, for life to go on, there will be no justice." For the sake of appreciating great theater, I clap loudly and smile on my home down the Chavez stairs.

The company formed in 1997. Two years later, the brewery became a brewpub. The restaurant side of the company offers their brewed beer, southern and Cajun styled food, and live blues music. In 2002, they claimed to have become the first US microbrewery to can its own beer. Employees hand-can the beer inside a 60-year-old barn. BevMo retails six 12 fluid ounce cans for $8.99. Six cans are held together by a plastic harness. The l abeling f eatures a bright red, blue, white, and silver color. The can looks like an American flag. The can pressurizes a brew with a 6.5% alcohol by volume. BevMo also sells four other Oskar Blues Brewery beers. Dale's Pale Ale pours chunky forming a menacing one-inch thick head. The head resides momentarily before dissipating into a thin lancet of yummy. The brew radiates a rich golden amber hue* The bitter aroma rising from the glass indicates the heavy use of malts and hops. The common name and the simple guise of can-in-a-beer does not do the beer justice. The brew enters smooth before a ravishing Jason Statham flying round house kick double punch assaults all areas of the mouth. After the initial blow, the taste buds recuperate only to ask for more. The boldness and thickness of the beer should pair well with heavy dinners such as steak and potatoes with lots of dinner rolls. Avoid consuming the beer alone. Enjoy the brew with anything, such as chips or beef jerky, to truly enjoy the beer's courageous flavor. As the essay and exam dates stack up stay focused, but take a moment of relaxation and enjoy the tasty Dale's Pale Ale. Cheers! BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer In today's troubled economy, if any kind of restaurant has been undaunted and continues to grow, it's the süshi bar. Although popular food chains and local favorites are closing every day all over the county, sushi bars continue to sprout up everywhere. Why? It is because the appeal of the sushi bar is more than just good food; the experience is what makes it memorable and keeps people coming back. Not the fake, constructed experience that some places (coughBenihanascough) have, but somewhere where the employee is not paid to smile and does anyway. The atmosphere of a restaurant and the dedication of its employees to making great food and entertaining customers seem like a lost art. A place that represents this idea perfectly is the Love Boat sushi bar and Japanese restaurant located in the new Las Posas plaza in San Marcos. In the past, people would visit restaurants and bars because of the repertoire they had with the people who work there. As corny as it sounds, restaurant customers are more likely to come Vital Information C SUSM LANGUAGE S S S S LEARNING CENTER Free Language Tutoring Reference & Media Library Online & Center Resources ...And More! U.Hall 240 www.csusm.edu/llc Don 't wait until it's too late! back to the place "where everybody knows your name". With the expansion of modern-day chain restaurants, this kind of intimacy has been lost in most places, where communication is most of the time limited to a speaker box. What sets the Love Boat apart from other res^ taurants is the experience you have with the "bartenders," the friendly sushi chefs who greet everyone as they enter, make recommendations on the best food that day, and are more than willing to spread around f ree drinks for a special occasion. The Love Boat's menu is typical enough: a blend of traditional sashimi style entrée's, the fusion sushi rolls like the California, and a generous menu of meat, fish and vegetable combinations cooked in Japanese fashion. They offer all the imported Japanese beers and sake the Other sushi restaurants do. Asking around, it becomes apparent that most people who go there are not there for the authenticity. "It's really more of a hangout spot than a restaurant for me" says CSUSM junior Jason Reyna. "We come out here after school or work when my friends and I have had a rough day, and it (the restaurant) just has a great positive vibe to it. The place doesn't have the seriousness (about drinking) of a bar or the formalism of á typi- cal restaurant. We come for that middle ground." Don't get the idea that the Love Boat is only a place for partiers, though. The restaurant is just as much f un as a family environment as well, according to regular patron and local business owner Andy Wegner. "When I bring my kids here, I don't have to worry about them being too distracting to the other people, because there's so much going on already" said Wegner. "At the same time, I prefer to bring them to a place where they can get food that is better for them than pizza or French fries or something." From religious sushi lovers to the first-timers, the Love Boat is the perfect choice for those looking for a local restaurant with a little something extra. For information on the hours for Love Boat San Marcos, call 760-471-7722. The Love Boat also has two other locations: Oceanside, on 125 Old Grove Rd, and now Rancho Bernardo at 11611 Rancho Bernardo Rd.

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor Thorn Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Phil Selway are arguably the gods of rock. Their alternative influence on modern music caught and kept worldwide attention since their first release over 16 years ago. I don't think I need to explain to you how awesome their music is. Radiohead is, after all, inexplicable. Aside from Radiohead clearly ruling their genre, the band is also on the forefront of utilizing green technology. Lead singer Thom Yorke's strides to raise awareness about global sustainability have brought about major change in the band's touring habits. In a 2008 interview with Treehugger magazine, Yorke criticizes the music industry's over-consumption of resources in order to make more tour dates while, in turn, bringing in more cash. Yorke, being the revolutionary he is, made Radiohead's 2008 In Rainbows tour the most eco-friendly tour of recent years. Liars, Radiohead's opening act, wrote about their touring experience in a blog on MySpace. "At the outset we were all given tour water flasks. Plastic anything is Photo courtesy ofmusicdealers.wordpress.com like contraband." Radiohead also decided to tour by bus rather than by plane because just a three-hour flight emits as much carbon dioxide as a Hummer would in a year. What's more, the buses and trucks used by the bands and crew ran on biofuel. Radiohead's merch website, waste.uk.com, revolves around western over-consumption. The merchandise producers do everything they can to make products that that have a minimal impact on the environment. The newest items are t-shirts for men and women made out of recycled plastic bottles and organic cotton. There are even some "unbranded" shirts for those of you who may not dig on Radiohead as much as you do on the planet. They also A neverending story BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Brian and I had found the canoe on the beach and decided to take it for a ride ouf onto the lake. We had been wading earlier and found that the water temperature was quite warm. It was almost like submerging into yourself, it was hard to tell if you were actually in the water. We had decided to go rowing out along the shoreline and see what was there. We rode along quietly with nothing more than a slight slushing of the paddles as they cut through the water, we surprised several animals who were basking along the edge of the lake. As we came around one bend, we came face to face with a large bull moose who was busy eating from the lush greenery at the water's edge. He immediately came to attention, alert to the danger we presented. Snorting his warning a couple times, he began to make a move to charge us. We had quickly and as quietly as possible, with as little movement as we could manage, come to a stop. A mere 5 to 10 feet separated us from the moose. The shear size of him was breath taking. Without conscious effort, I became aware of the sound of the insects and birds around us as well as the heat of the sun raising a prickly heat all over my skin. I almost swatted a mosquito that was gnawing at my forearm, when I realize the moose was watching my every movement intently. I whispered, "Paddle backwards very slowly." I made a very slow movement with the paddle, trying not to have the movement appear in any way threatening. Slowly the paddle moved forward through the water causing an imperceptible backward movement of the canoe. The heat seemed to rise as the moose's breathing caught mid-breath and he began to move his ears impatiently, his tail twitching side to side as his nervousness looked for an outlet. A second stroke of the paddle brought little more movement than the first. We seemed to be moving away by centimeters, more as a result of the wind and current than our paddling. A third and fourth stroke was giving us a slightly more perceptible movement, and just as I began to think we had successfully pulled it off, the moose charged. He covered the distance without any noticeable effort. Although his speed was breathtaking, time seemed to slow to the point of stopping. I watched the water give way to his feet, slowly spraying up into the air. I yelled and back paddled as hard as I could, but to no avail as the moose dipped his head, bringing his large rack to bear on the bow of the canoe. The canoe shuddered under offer a durable aluminum beverage container with the startling statistic "15 million plastic bottles of water are sold every year." The green attempts did not make the In Rainbows tour dull by any means. Brilliant, low-energy LED* lighting set the mood, and speaking out to publications like Treehugger and UK's The Guardian helped fans find more ecofriendly modes of transportation to concert venues. Radiohead's worldwide popularity can only serve to spread the word about musicians going green. Next time you take a plastic, single-use bottle to a show, consider what you could do to make Mother Earth love music even more. Popcorn storytelling the blow and launched upward into the air with apparent easy of a leaf being picked up by the wind. Brian and I were launched into the air and over the side as the canoe came to rest a short way from us. The moose seemed satisfied that he had dispensed the danger and turned to wander off into the woods. We swam to the canoe and after a brief inspection, realized it was not functional. We grabbed onto the debris and just floated along. The breeze was picking up and pushing us further away from the shore. It was also getting dark - rapidly. Here in the mountains, the sun seemed to almost switch off like a light switch. I could no longer tell which way the shore was. The warm water was as comforting as a warm snuggly blanket and I began to doze off. I began to listen to the rush of blood through my ears. My mind began to hallucinate, losing its grip on reality. It was telling me that everything was ok and I should relax and let go. I drifted down into the quiet warm darkness. I never felt so safe and secure. I felt no separation between myself and the outer world, I was one with the universe. My mind let go of everything and drifted off into the welcoming arms of eternity. great but the music is pedestrian, and forgettable.

James Earl Jones lends his voice to the narration. It should make for exciting and compelling viewing on Earth Day and through the weekend. The rest of this week's bundle of films comes out on Friday, and like "Earth," they have self-explanatory titles. Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx team up for "The Soloist." The film, inspired by a true story, features Foxx as a homeless man with an incredible gift of music, and Downey as the struggling writer who discovers him. This pairing of great actors should make for a very inspirational film, if it avoids patronizing the audience with schmaltzy Word(s) THE PRIDE Image courtesy ofDisney moments. If director Joe Wright emphasized drama and conflict over cheesy bits, "The Soloist" will be a great teaijerker. I do not have the same hope for the other twofilmsin wide release this week. First, Channing Tatum stars in a movie called "Fighting." As one might expect in afilmcalled "Fighting," the movie is about Tatumfightingseveral people. The title "Fighting," redly puts me off this flick. If the creative minds behind this film cannot come up with a better name for a film aboutfighting,I do not expect a decent plot or character development. If one wants a good movie aboutfighting,check out some clas- sic Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan films, because they have good stories, and both men are actual fighters. I also do not have hope for "Obsessed." The story is simple. A husband and wife have a perfect life and then another woman comes in a throws everything out of control. The conflict is the wife versus the new secretary. I will not be seeing "Obsessed" any time soon. It stars Beyonce Knowles, who is a name more than an actress, the story looksflat,and the market campaign make this film look like soft core pornography. "Obsessed" is an amalgamation of other, better, domestic conflict films. Y ou p edal a b ike; b rake p edal on a c ar; p eddle is t o s ell y our w ares as a s alesman.

Whether it be March 2, April 5, or you simply don't remember, an anniversary is a time to celebrate a union with your partner and reflect on all the great and not so great times you've had with one another. Let's focus more on the happier side of a relationship's anniversary, which raises the question: What makes a good anniversary? For starters, remembering it makes for a great anniversary already. Society, the media, and just general word of mouth has shown us all that forgetting an anniversary could lead to more than a few nights on the coach (and lord knows that's uncomfortable). Even though I'm currently drilling the idea of letting people know to never forget an anniversary, what about the idea of knowing when to celebrate and how? What should many do for their significant others and how often? And the answer is: it's up to you. Honestly, it's up to you lo decidewhen and how often you decide to celebrate an anniversary. Don't be a creeper. Celebrating every week might be a little much. You might as well be waiting outside their window with a boom box, playing Niki FM by Hawthorne Heights (anybody else remember that song?). Personally, I try celebrating every month, and by celebrating it, I mean acknowledging it and maybe getting a nice lunch or dinner. We're all on a budget s o let's not go completely all out How do you know when to go all out? Usually, it's best to really plan something nice out for an anniversary every six months. Typically, a six-month, one-year, etc. anniversary is the best time to acknowledge this unity. Making it to six months or a year are quite the accomplishments, so why not let him/her know that you still care about them after all that time? When it comes to anniversaries that celebrate at least six months of togetherness, make sure to make it meaningful instead of something that you think they might want Yes, I'm sure all people could think of the most romantic thing they could ever hope for (eating donuts and bacon off your lover's body, anyone?), but it may not always be the best choice. While a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant followed by dancing and a long walk on the beach may seem like the perfect idea, it could also be the most cliché. I mean, anybody could think that just by watching an episode of "Friends." Make it meaningful, find something that you both love, and make it your own. You both like astronomy, ice cream, and relaxing? Then go somewhere secluded withatelescope and picnic basket full of Ben & Jerry's, and just star gaze. It is romantic and something that you both love, so why not enjoy something you both have an affinity for? Either that or you could go to a dinner and a show (ifthat's the case, why not go to Benihana? Where dinner is the show?). Film and television makers tossed around the term "mockumentary" in the mid 20th century, but it was not until 1984, when Rob Reiner made "This is Spinal Tap," that there was concrete mainstream mockumentary. Now, mockumentaries are seemingly everywhere in theaters and on television. A mockumentary is a fictitious film or television program shot like a documentary and attempts to look realistic. The results are often comedies in a British style, which is subtler than outlandish humor popular in the U.S. Through the 1990's, some directors produced the occasional mockumentary, but Christopher Guest truly proliferated the genre. Guest, who starred in "This is Spinal Tap," first made "Waiting for Guffman," a fictional documentary about a small town producing a play for the area's sesquicentennial. Guest has also given us fictional documentaries about the obscure, such as dog shows in liRestin. Show" and a folk rock reunion in "A Mighty Wind." As a result of Guest's work, a new wave of actors and directors continue to expand the mockumentary. Ricky Gervais created the BBC comedy ' The Office" as a mockumentary about office life. His series exploded to spin off in several different countries, including the U.S. version starring Steve Carell. Sasha Baron Cohen is also a maverick with the mockumentary. First, he had success in the U.K. and U.S. with "Da Ali G Show," where he played three journalist characters. Cohen took one of them, Borat, to the big screen, which became a controversial and challenging comedy. He looks like he will continue this as the trailer for afilmabout another of his characters, Bruno, came out recently. The genre also encompasses serious films, such as "Cloverfield," "Quarantine," and "The Blair Witch Project." These action horror films tell the story by making the camera part of the story. The singular perspective creates tension and only the film footage can tell the story in the end. The mockumentary is a unique deviant in the comedy genre, though it not limited to humor. It uses silence and awkward moments rather than laugh tracks and extraordinary circumstances. Thanks to innovated filmmakers, this breed of humor has flourished and should continue to do so for the audience's delight.

President's photo should be and leaving us to wonder, The Pride might have explained why there were no results for the ASI President. I can't see why The Pride's thriving Arts & Entertainment section is more important than who will be leading the ASI in the next term. A fter all, the issues of tuition and fee increases are not trivialities and must merit at least the same attention as the reviews featured in this issues massive A&E section. With four pages of A rts & Entertainment, plus a f ull page of columns, a f ull page of classifieds/ads, The Pride's lack of coverage on the election is conspicuous. Until this issue, I didn't think that a quarter-page mention of the presidential results was too much to ask. The Pride has a unique responsibility to inform the student population, and currently the paper is not meeting that responsibility.

Career Center Director, this is "approxiStudents should have a resume to share mately 60% of our usual t urn out due to the with the employer, printed on quality economy. In the past, we have had as many bonded paper. The "Students often under estimate the importance of first impressions, their attire and having a professional resume that markets them well at a j ob fair. They have j ust a few seconds to make a lasting impression and we see some horrible resumes. Applicants need to take time in preparing for their j ob search and utilize resources such as the Career Counselors in the Career Center in Craven Hall 1400," Gaschler says. According to a Career Builder survey in March 2009, 38% of H R Managers spend 1-2 minutes reviewing a new application. That is very little time for the resume to grab their attention and give them valid reason to schedule the candidate for an interview. Gaschler relates that many students j ust drop by sort of window shopping, looking for what they want but walk away if they don't see it right off. Students need to understand this is a networking opportunity. Other opportunities are available either as a college graduate or later in their career path if they j ust get their foot in the door. Students looking for work in a global company with their degree in marketing or global business management may overlook companies like Wells Fargo who have global opportunities. Employers such as large banks have high volume recruiting roles. They are developing positions that are entry level and may or may not require a college degree for their pool of talent. They often promote into other positions within the company as well. Positions such as a Human Resource Assistant or Human Resource Manager are not necessarily presented at a j ob fair, however the company representative may know who to put a student or alumni in contact with for such an opportunity. On the j ob fair, Gaschler adds, "It is about networking and good first impressions."

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer It is fitting on this week of Passover that we take a look at our f amily favorite Seder flick. Seder is t he celebration dinner of Passover. Combine this with a fine new release featuring Jim Carrey and blend in a mixed Britcom bowl of nuts and you have a great week of entertainment. "When D o We Eat?" is a film which t urns the Passover Seder on its head and provides a hilarious insiders take on this very holy tradition. If you are not Jewish, t his film will provide some real insights as to why we are all so neurotic and find ourselves using humor as the cure for all that ails us. Michael Lerner leads the Seder as Ira Stuckman, a Christmas ornament manufacturer, and his w ife Peggy is played by Lesley A nn Warren. If ever you wanted a case study on a dysfunctional family dynamic, this film doesn't simply scratch the s urface, it scratches t hrough every layer of paint and gouges half way through t he metal below. The Stuckmans have five grown children. Meredith Scott Lynn p ortrays Jennifer, t he gay daughter b y I ra's first w ife. M ax Greenfield plays E than, w ho h as f ound God in t he w ake of the collapse of h is Stock Market f ortune and ends u p bedding h is cousin Vanessa, a sultry A- celebrity publicist played by Mili Avital. Daughter N ikki is a . sex surrogate, Zeke is a druggy, and Lionel is, w ell... watch the film. Jack Klugman plays the grandfather who has carried h is "survival" suitcase with h im everywhere for the past 60 years. A s a holocaust survivor, h e k nows that " the b astards" could come and t ake you anytime. T he story z ooms through the Passover celebration j ust as one might find at any reform celebration, yet in every manner elevated, higher and closer to God. T his film is side splitting and at other times, very melancholy. T he actors, story and emotions you share with this film seem genuine throughout and the acting is never forced and u ntrue t o the story. O ne most surprising aspect of this film is the aesthetic. T he colors leap f rom the screen, and at times the sound quality is divine. Welcome to t he table, pull u p a seat, and enjoy the spectacle. A fter we can search for the a fi komen. Oy, this film is such a W hat to See **** " Yes Man" stars Jim Carrey as Carl A llen and Zooey Deschanel a s Allison. T he film is an adaptation of a b ook by D anny Wallace, a well-known British celebrity, writer, and producer. You w ill quickly see that t his is not a m ainstream Hollywood story. A fter v iewing t he trailer, m y expectations f or t his film w ere quite high. While the movie fell short of meeting those l ofty expectations, it was perhaps because the film delivered a very d ifferent vibe f rom what the trailer promised. Carrey provides all the insanity any viewer can handle as he attends a "Yes M an" seminar at the direction of his muse Nick. Nick almost magically reappears to help Carl find his lost life. Carl realizes that his life is not going well and becomes a "Yes Man," saying yes to every opportunity that comes his way. From here the movie takes flight and soars. Bungee j umping, studying Korean, learning to play guitar, and giving of himself, Carl rediscovers life and he finds love in Allison. Deschanel is an actor that seems o ften to play characters that are not a stretch for her, yet she seems so honest, real, and endearing that her p erformance, as here, is o ften key to m aking a given movie complete. There are no real weaknesses to be found in this movie, and the not so subtle life lesson is as important as they come. Consider this film to b e one of l ife's most f un instructional yideos. Watch, learn and enjoy. W hat t o See **** "The IT Crowd" television series on DVD is a personal new discovery. It even has a tie in with "Yes Man," as Danny Wallace played a character named Paul in the pilot episode of this series. British comedy cannot b e easily defined, and it is not easily contained. From "Benny H ill" to "Monty P ython" to "Absolutely Fabulous," there is nothing to tie the wide variety of humor together apart f rom the British accent. Sometimes locating great foreign television can b e a great challenge. This time, " IT" was in my Netfiix "Movies You'll Love" section. Even better was that " IT" is an instant play selection. Chris O'Dowd is Roy, a loud Irish tech who at times misses many important and subtle signals as life plays out before h im. Richard Ayoade plays Maurice ' Moss' Moss. Ayoade writes, acts, and directs, and here, Moss is simply short on the brainpower needed to provide excellent IT support to anyone. He is not stupid, but a bit d aft. These two fine specimens of IT support work in a basement and are overseen by the computer illiterate IT department head Jen, played with great zeal by Katherine Parkinson. W hile t he pilot is cute and f un, it seems t hat each new episode I watch gets progressively more biting, m ore outrageous, and more f un t o watch. You might say t hat t his is t he television equivalent of a cup of Starbucks c offee w ith an added big splash of laughs. T he first t aste gets you h ooked, and each additional episode p ulls you in deeper. W hat t o S ee **** D oves BY A MY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor There's a reason bands open for other bands. Most of the time, it's simply because they're just not good enough to get a headlining tour of their own. They have their managers put in a good word at the record label, and join up with bands surpassing their musical aptitude with the hopes of putting another good word in with the fans. The attempts aren't always successful. Unless the venue is standing room only, chances are, most concertgoers won't arrive until the main act takes the stage. You can imagine my surprise when the opening act at a certain concert happened to trump the band I planned on loving. I'd heard of Doves before this day, but hadn't given them much of a second thought. No doubt they were just another English Indie band riding The Beatles' coattails, right? Not quite. Doves formed in 1998 after Jez and Andy Williams' band, Sub Sub, dissolved W ebsite o f The W e e k Image courtesy of Fmylife.com after 13 years. After Jimi Goodwin joined the duo, Doves released three EPs. In 2000, theirfirstalbum, "Lost Souls," garnered much critical praise. Though Doves had consistent radio play in the UK, their fan base failed to cross the pond. In 2002, the band released "The Last Broadcast." Still, Doves flew under the radar. Their third album, "Some Cities," shot up to number 1 on the Billboard UK charts and finally caught attention in America. Key tracks like "Black and White Town" and "Sky Starts Falling" catalyzed Doves' success, and allowed them to open for bands including Coldplay, U2, and Oasis. "Darker," off "Lost Souls," is exactly that. The song starts off with an affected, electronic bass line. A lead guitar slices through ethereal lyrics. Each note is chaotic yet crafted, weaving a melody of intricacies with just enough light to express just how cold the "bad snow" is. Doves released their fourth studio album, "Kingdom ofRust," on April 9. They are currently headlining an international tour through midJune. Catch the band in Southern California on May 14 at House of Blues, San Diego, May 15 at House of Blues, Anaheim, and May 16 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.

You remember when you did that thing with the thing with that one guy/girl? I thought you'd never live that down! Now, if only I knew an actual story of how much fun you had so we can talk about it, feel free to Facebook me. So hopefully whatever you did in Cabo, Mexico, Cancun, Palm Springs, or Temecula (yeah Temecula, that place is crazy!), hopefully you did it safely and responsibly. So, now that school is back in session after a much needed vacation, it is time to get back in the groove of pencils, book, and teacher's dirty looks (especially if you come to class hung-over, and that's just not fun either way, so don't do it). But I digress, this is a sex and relationship column, so let's talk about that aspect of spring break. Hopefully you didn't go to a spring break party spot looking for spring break love. Chances are it'll turn out as bad as that Kelly Clarkson movie when she was first starting out, yeah, you remember which one I'm talking about, the one with Justin Whatshisface. Well, who cares, the point is that that movie was terrible (see how I made that connection?). Finding love or simply a legitimate relationship at a spring break party location might not work due to its basis. Everyone is in Cancun or wherever to party, drink, and have fun. Usually, creating an emotional connection isn't the first thing on e veryone's mind when they're getting ready to do some Jaeger-bombs. Hence, if a relationship did bloom over some Irish car bombs, that relationship would be based on the grounds of sex and alcohol. And wouldn't that just be a fun and fulfilling story to tell your friends and family when you get back? "Oh so how did you two meet?" To which to reply, .. well, I was enamored by his/her ability to do a keg stand, can you imagine that? 128 seconds! Even grandpa can't do that!" But you never know, some relationships start on a non-normative basis and there's no telling how a relationship can turn out. Just make sure you take into account certain factors that can hinder this, like distance and part habits. You need someone that is faithful and willing to take the time to make it work. Now, let's talk about the sex (yes, you heardright).There's always the possibility that things could happen when out in a social situation where people are drinking and losing any inhibitions. Whether intended or not, sexual encounters happen, so better to be prepared if you intend for them. And if you don't, you know that you have the resources to stay safe in light of the situation. Make sure to visit the Student Health & Counseling Center for any questions you may have, stay safe & get tested, and prepare yourselfwith a plethora of condoms, dental dams, and other contraceptive choices.

BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Inaugural Easter planning committee meeting BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer It was a quiet Tuesday in February a few years after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ in 33 A.D. when the meeting took place. Good planning was crucial because Easter was being developed to celebrate the life of Jesus. Easter also needed to incorporate traditional spring celebrations of the day to make the celebration accessible to more people. A handful of elder event planners gathered to create this celebration for generations to come. This meeting had gone on for several days and the elders agreed upon the major issues. Overtired and worn out from days of intense negotiations, the elders were trying to tie up a few loose ends and find a way to get the children involved. It was clear that the children needed something to speak to them, perhaps an Easter mascot, a symbol if you will. During a heated debate about the Easter mascot for the kids, two of the elders began verbally jousting. One called the other an alter cocker. Responding, the verbally assaulted elder yelled back, "Well you're no spring chicken either!" Who would have thought? The yelling stopped. A spring chicken! Now we're on to something. Other elders stood in protest and wanted to axe the chicken idea. "Chickens aren't cute," they proclaimed, "and what kid could relate to a chicken mascot?" In the meantime, two of the wiser elders began their own side discussion about which came first the chicken or the egg. The kids needed something to represent the renewal of spring, something cute, something fertile, something fuzzy and cuddly. "Perhaps we should use the standard bearer of fertility, the bunny," declared one elder. After all, who can argue against bunnies? A quiet swell of conversation swept through the group. It became clear that the bunny proposal was gaining support. Soon, the two elders argument about the chicken or the egg began toriseabove the bunny discussion. "First was the chicken," yelled one. "You could not have a chicken without an egg," shot back the other. It seemed that the whole meeting was falling to pieces. Just then, an up and coming advertising executive named David jumped up on a table in the center of the group and shouted, "Stop!" He then proceeded to pull out an easel and some papyrus and began , to sketch out a complete marketing plan. He was a man possessed. He recapped the main ceremonial points on papyrus (this later became known as a "papyrus point" presentation). "First," he declared, "the bunny is the official Easter mascot, and also, the egg stays just not as a mascot. Bunnies will be the mascot because they are cute, cuddly, and best represent fertility because they breed like, well, bunnies. The kids will love it. The egg stays not so much for the kids, but as a conversation starter. Who can resist getting sucked into the whole chicken/ egg debate?" he queried. There was a muffled consensus on this point. "For the kids though, we can keep them busy using that new Mordechai PAAS dye kit to color the eggs and make them bright and cheery." The group, being tired and hungry came to agreement with everything David proposed and so Easter was born and agreed that the chicken should be axed, roasted and eaten. Years later, during Easter celebrations, the kids became enthralled with the chicken/egg debate, the elders not so much. After all, you can only hear "How come?" so many times. So began the tradition of hiding the eggs. The elders knew that by hiding the eggs, this would get the kinder out of their hair for a while and allow them some much needed Easter rest. Postscript: The strangest tradition, which followed much later, is the idea that the Easter Bunny would actually deliver the Easter eggs and candies to all the children on the night before Easter. This tradition is reputed to have developed in Germany. Based on my . personal observations, and readings, my hypothesis is that either Lewis Carroll or Edgar Allen Poe started this tradition. But I don't have the papers to back it up. �V iewpoint T HE P RIDE 0ip Tuesday April 07, 2009 Classifieds ji Retired investment executive w/adv. degree in Mathematics and six years college math instruction exp. is avail, to tutor college level math courses.

Perhaps you do not drink as frequently as that, but even just drinking twice a week will leave, at least, a $200 void in your bank account annually. How is that for some alcohol awareness during a time when everyone is lacking green in their pockets? April is Alcohol Awareness Month. It is the perfect time to reflect, especially as college students, on the responsibilities surrounding alcohol consumption. It takes a sound mind to maintain awareness o f any responsibility, the biggest of responsibilities being the well-being of yourself and others. Alcohol awareness is such an important issue for Cal State San Marcos that it is a requirement. Freshmen are required, within their first two semesters, to become knowledge- able and tested on alcohol and drinking. Alcohol can be a bittersweet topic of discussion. It can be a great addition, or an avoidable necessity for social gatherings. However, no one has been censored from the terrible consequences due to someone's lack of responsibility when throwing back cold ones or curing Monday blues with margaritas. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a branch of the US Department of Health Services, "one 12 ounce of beer has about as much alcohol as a 1.5 ounce shot of liquor, a 5 ounce glass of wine, or wine cooler." Too often people believe that a swig from a can or bottle will somehow relieve the stress of life and they do not realize their need for intoxicating liquids. Knowledge about alcohol is crucial at any age, any academic level, and any socioeconomic status because the casual, beginning, or veteran drinker must recognize the difference between alcohol abuse and alcoholism. SAMHSA says that there is a clear difference between the two. Alcoholism is "alcohol dependence syndrome." Sufferers crave it. They lose control of their alcohol intake and often develop a physical dependence and an increase in tolerance. On the other hand, when alcohol causes someone to fail in fulfilling responsibilities, drinking in what could turn into a dangerous situation, and having reoccurring problems related to the consumption of alcohol, that is alcohol abuse. Whether you label yourself or someone else as an alcoholic,www. collegedrinkingprevention.gov, from alcohol and choose another created by the National Institute drink of choice.

The study mentions stress levels only lower when the women orgasm with a partner. Laughter Laughing reduces the levels of stress hormones like Cortisol and epinephrine and increases healthenhancing hormones like endorphins and neurotransmitters. Music Listening to music can be a great stress reliever because you can listen to it while you're doing your regular activities like eating, cleaning, paying bills (this can be stressful). Waking up to your favorite song can also set the tone for a stress free day. g -Jtoa't jHX^astinate^Jigjg^ ^ ^ We Jiear it all tfie t me, But procrastination really does lead to stress. Waiting until the last minute promotes a rushed feeling directly related to stressful emotions. Instead of finding reasons not to start your work, try looking at the task differently so that it does not seem overwhelming. If it is a larger project, break it up into smaller parts and try setting your own deadlines for them. Being stressed causes one to lose their ability to think, and everyone stresses at one point or another wfa^erJteut responsibuity, or even social stress.

"We are having this vigil now, but I think if the actual holiday took place during regular school hours, students and teachers could focus on it a lot more. But because it happens during spring break, César Chávez day itself doesn't seem like it's getting proper recognition." Lindsey Hernandez, who is a member of the CSUSM chapter of M.E.Ch*.A., agreed with Elorza for the most part. "I do think (the holiday) would get more recognition during regular hours, but it's not as if no one's doing anything," Hernandez said. "This vigil today and the events we have planned in the next few weeks are in honor of his memory, and I think these events get a lot of recognition from other people." dent of M.E.Ch.A. at CSUSM, also had some words to say regarding the ceremony.

What to See *** S The Sounds BY AMY SALISBURY Faces & Places Editor Television is a powerful medium. 99% of American households have one TV. The majority have two or more. Anyone desiring maximum exposure can take comfort in knowing that television will put you in the homes of millions. Musicians would naturally consider this when trying to break into the industry. Countless companies approach art- ists with the prospect of broadcasting their music through* commercials. The prospect of being associated with a product might seem unattractive, but when the public receives the advertisement well, the artists could propel their way toward stardom. Case in point: The Sounds. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who isn't familiar with the Geico commercials. This car insurance company certainly has some brilliant ad writers at their disposal. The Geico gecko has had his fair share of fame, but the real stars are the cavemen. Sprung from Geico's slogan, "So easy a caveman could do it," the cavemen appeared in several of Geico's recent campaigns. A personal favorite of mine features the cavemen selling motorcycle insurance. Granted, the advertisements haven't swayed me from my current vehicle insurance provider, but they have exposed me to a band I wouldn't know otherwise. The Sounds are a Swedish band formed in the late 90s. Lead singer Maja Ivarsson founded the band with Felix Rodriguez, Johan Bengtsson, Jesper Anderberg, and Fredrik Nilsson. In 2002, they released their debut album, "Living in America." The album didn't break into the US charts, but their 2006 release, "Dying to Say This to You," became number 1 on the US Heatseeker chart, and 107 on the Billboard 200. "Hurt You," off "Dying to Say This to You," propels The Sounds' music into homes across the nation. The track, heavy with new-wave styling and punchy synth, turns a poptinged hook into the perfect commercial backdrop. I don't know how "cool" it is to be known as "that band from that commercial," but I wouldn't have known of The Sounds without Geico. As a result of this exposure, The Sounds are now touring as a support act with No Doubt across America. Their third studio album, "Crossing the Rubicon," comes out June 2. �Arts & Entertainment THE PRIDE Tuesday, Apr// 07, 2 009 / Kristina W o n g : W o n g Flew O v e r the C uckoo's N est Prominent A sian American performer visits C S U S M BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer One of the fall highlights of CSUSM's Arts and Lecture Series includes the recent visit by Kristina Wong. The March 24 visit by Wong included a lecture to students in the day followed by an evening condensed performance of her latest award-winning theatrical piece, "Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Wong, a prominent Asian American writer and solo performer, uses sharp humor and psychology in her interactive performance based on the high rates of mental illness and suicide among Asian American women. Wong plays the role of various fictional personas that keeps the audience absorbed and on an emotional rollercoaster during the entire performance. The evening included moments of silence and extreme laughter as Wong shifted the mood of her performance and storytelling. One minute the audience would be seriously engaged in complete silence as they the listened to the emotional pleas of Wong's character seeking help from knitted rags representing people. Minutes later, laughter burst from the audience when Wong's character would scream and cuss at them. The audience also participated with assigned responses to Wong's queues as they held up funny photos of her. The performance ended with a powerful and unexpected twist when revealed that Wong's character is a patient in a mental institution. The evening's performance closed with an open Q&A session with the artist. In addition to being a performer, Wong is also a community activist and educator. The organization Speak Out outlines Wong's previous work to include conducting writing workshops for women of color, and her previous work as former artistic director of the Asian American Teen Theater Company, where she created educational theater on teen issues such as HIV/ AIDS with youth. Wong uses unapologetic humor to address serious, and at times, taboo issues affecting women of color. In 2000, Wong created a mock mail order bride website (www.bigbadchinesemama.com). The site serves as a lesson website for men looking to order Asian brides and uses sarcastic humor in its content. The site's web page reads, "Yeah, you've seen mail order bride sites before, you may have even surfed over to an Asian porn site, but never in your wildest culturally commodifying sick sexual desires, have you been schooled by women (womyn) like this!" Whether Wong is doing a solo performance, lecturing, or helping with youth and community theatre, she is definitely someone worth paying attention to. Wong will continue to tour the United States with her intriguing performance of "Wong Flew Over the Image courtesy ofManja.org Cuckoo's Nest" as she makes her next stops in Chicago, New York and Minnesota.

A black bottle cap with a bow and arrow in gold stencil seals a brew with 5% alcohol by volume. Johnny Appleseed's efforts were not in vain. The dry cider is comprised of fermented apple juice amongst other ingredients. Strongbow pours watery generating a slight lancet. Little bubbles of bliss rise to the top throughout the duration producing a bitter aroma. The brew enters and immediately tickles the lips and tongue. After thé initial gentle shock, a bold apple flavor cleanses the palette. The crispness of the cider should pair well with light lunches or dinners such as turkey sandwiches and chicken salads. The sweetness side of the beer could also be enjoyed alongside simple ice cream flavors such as vanilla or chocolate. Naturally, apple lovers will love the cider.

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com ? 511 �4 Tuesday Mardi 24, Faces & Places 2009 THE PRIDE Keep SPF on hand this spring break Skin cancer is more common than you think BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer For many students, Spring Break is synonymous with fun in the sun. It is a chance to get out of class for a week to do what they want, be it surfing, beach going, skating, hiking, or some other outdoor activity. In the rush to get out, however, many people fail to adequately protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun. While at the time, this does not seem like much harm, a lifetime of sun damage can lead to serious health problems. According to the National Cancer Institute, there are 1 million new cases of skin cancer in America every year and over a thousand deaths as a direct result. Along with smoking and obesity, it is one of the largest causes of preventable death in the U.S. Skin cancer comes in several different forms, which affect unique areas and parts of the skin. According to the National Cancer Institute's website, www. cancer.gov, melanoma, one of the most common types, forms in melanocytesm, or the skin cells that make pigment. Skin cancer that forms in basal cells, the small, round cells in the base of the outer layer of skin, is called basal cell carcinoma. When cancer forms in squamous cells (flat cells that form the surface of the skin) it is called squamous ceil carcinoma. Skin cancer that forms in neuroendocrine cells (cells that release hormones in response to signals from the ner- vous system) is called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Dr. Steven Bates, who practices at the Student Health and Counseling center, outlined the symptoms of skin cancer. "The main thing is to keep an eye on moles or any other unusual or new skin growth," Bates said. "For instance, if the skin growth is growing rapidly, changing color, bleeding, changes in texture (becomes scaly or itchy) or becomes asymmetrical, it should definitely be looked at by a doctor ASAP. Ideally, you should do regular selfchecks on the moles you have and have a dermatologist check your skin once a year." The risk factors of skin cancer include excessive exposure to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation, like tanning booths. While normal exposure to sunlight is an important source of Vitamin D, too much sun without adequate protection causes major skin damage. "The best protection you have is sunscreen" said Jennifer Rummins, a local registered nurse. "If you are going to be out in the sun for a while, use at least an SPF of 30 that protects against both UVA and UVB rays." In addition, Dr. Bates warned that those who have fair skin tones, freckles, or have a family history of melanoma are most at risk. Both Rummins and Dr. Bates also recommended limiting your time in the sun and wearing loose protective clothing. So when heading out the door this Spring Break, b e smart and remember to pack the sunscreen—it could end up saving your life. M Hü ü¡¡ Hl M alignant B enign S nwnt p r t ci Am tn * r ai e !

Player's Sports Bar is in the process of buying the recently revamped local restaurant. As business dwindled over the years, Grappa's split into two restaurants sharing one roof. The bar and restaurant served customers until there was no more food or alcohol. "It wasn't fun. It was really rough trying to keep the doors open," said Grappa's and Legend's restaurant manager John Medina. After the recent renovation that added Legend's, a sports baroriented atmosphere, it seemed that the business was headed for greener pastures. However, from the recent closing, the remodel came too late to salvage the flailing Cougar hangout. "The owners banked on the sports bar bringing in more students from [California State University San Marcos] and keeping it alive. There was a big increase, but it didn't happen," said Grappa's and Legend's bartender and former CSUSM student Tyler Barr. Although there are various reasons why Grappa's and Legend's ultimately folded, some reasons point toward legal issues and marketing. "The City of San Marcos wouldn't let us do a lot of things because of the license we had. It wasihe higgestfighk We couldn't have any live entertainment, and we couldn't change our liquor license. We had to close at midnight Sunday through Wednesday, even if it included a holiday like New Year's Eve You tell me how you are supposed to be a bar and close at midnight," said Barr. "We weren't quick enough to respond to all of the issues. Without advertising money or promotions, we couldn't really do much," said Medina.

Be it surfing, bgogie board- ing, sunbathing, or hanging out with friends, the beaches of San Diego are perfect for almost any activity (besides drinking, that is).

Continuous emails were sent out to the entire student body and faculty advising to take extreme necessary precautions in making any trips to Mexico. Pat Worden, Vice President of Student A ffairs, on behalf of the O ffice of Communications forwarded the advisory along with a link to the U.S. Department of State travel alert implemented on Feb. 20, 2009. "Recently our O ffice of Communications sent out a State Department Travel Alert to the CSUSM community that reports an increase in crime and violence, i n Mexico„i The, purpose of such a Travel Alert is to warn prospective travelers of security risks and dangerous conditions," Worden stated in the e-mail. "I urge you tp review the State Department information as you consider whether to travel across the border during Spring Break. We want you to have a relaxing, refreshing, and safe Spring Break." The U.S. State Department, Bureau of Consular A ffairs, travel alert expresses that a number of locations along the U.S./Mexico border are Experiencing rapid growth in the rates of robberies, homicides, carjackings and petty t hefts, notably in Tijuana and northern Baja California within the last year. "In recent years, dozens of nUJSL citizens have been kidnapped across Mexico, many of these cases remain unresolved," the travel alert stated. Safety tips for traveling include always taking the main roads and traveling during the daylight hours, travel in a group, do not travel alone, and never display expensive watches, purses or even jewelry as these items can viewed as easy targets for crimes. "Mexican drug cartels are engaged in an increasingly violent conflict both among themselves and with Mexican security services, for control of narcotics t rafficking routes along the U.S. Mexico border. In order to combat violence, the government of Mexico has deployed troops in www.csusm.edu ^ ^ ^ and vote in the I VOTE A.S.I. Elections I V OTE I VOTE march 23-26. t I canned food drive begins march 23. various parts of the country. U:&v ^citizens should cooperate fully with official checkpoints when traveling on Mexican highways," according to the travel alert. Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international cell phone reception and service. Many carriers offer this service for a limited amount of days, not a longterm contract, and for a sensible price. For convenience and safety, a cell phone can be used in case of an emergency. U.S. citizens can contact the nearest U.S. consulates or the U.S. Embassy in case of any trouble. Contact numbers are listed on the travel.state.gov website. "Mexico is a popular destination and we want students to exercise caution and avoid dangerous situations i f they decide to travel south of the border," said Margaret Lutz, CSUSM's Public Information Officer. "It is important for students to take this alert seriously as there has been an increase in documented violence in Mexico. This violence is indiscriminate and innocent people have been victimized. Students should take common sense precautions and be aware of their surroundings." "Students should drink responsibly, especially with people they don't know, and keep passports and credit cards with them at all times. Students traveling anywhere abroad should read up on their destination's news and tell someone from home about travel plans," Lutz added.

"Run Fatboy Run," stars Simon Pegg as Dennis Doyle, a man who so underestimates his own self worth that he runs away from all the fabulous things life has put before him as he abandons his beautiful, pregnant bride, alone and utterly distraught, at the altar. Five years lata:, he works as a security guard at a women's clothing store in London, and that is perhaps the pinnacle of his life's achievements after running from his destiny. Thandie Newton, who recently played Condi Rice in the film "W", portrays Libby, Dennis' "almost wife." Libby is the balance in this film. Newton's smooth performance allows others, in the film to test the outer limits of control. Hank Azaria, a comic mastermind, fills the role of Whit, Libby's love interest In this role he plays a crafty foil to Dennis.

The I premise of the show revolves around a group of young socialites in Manhattan's Upper East Side. The show is ripe with clichés, but excels as a beacon of impeccable fashion taste. Below we will examine the styles of two of the main characters: Blair Waldorf Blair is one of the main characters of the series, she was raised to be the premier socialite of Manhattan and her style mirrors her polished personality. Blair is very classic and preppy. Her fashion 5 aesthetic is typical of the Upper East Side: £ it is one that reflects^ power, privilege, and upper-class. To get ^ the "Blair" look follow ^ these simple rules. 1. Classic: Blair's style is very classic. Look for traditional silhouettes and tai- A Neverending Story I wrapped myself tighter against Evan as we stood as quietly as possible, straining to see what might be in the bush ahead of us. I found myself breathing with short shallow breaths as I strained not only with my eyes, but also with my ears to determine what might be infrontof us. Aswe stood still, the sounds of the forest seemed to grow around us, and the dark seemed almost palpable. The bush began to move again and there seemed to be a darkening shadow moving awayfromthe bush and down the trail toward us. In the dim light of the moon it was hard to see any detail It seemed like a dark shadow without any mass. It just kept coming closer... and closer. I was tempted to breakfreeof Evan's grip and run as fast as I could, but lored pieces that accentuate your body. Blair attends an upscale school, so to achieve the preppy look, stick with white oxfords and dark navy blue skirts. 2. Feminine Details: Blair is very feminine. Look for details with hints of delicacy such as lace in order to achieve understated elegance. 3. Color Accents: Blair uses color to modernize her look. To keep things fresh and exciting, look for accessories that have bold colors. Limit the accents to one or two pieces or risk being a visual overload. Dan Humphrey Dan lives in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a place that reflects a culture that values liberal sensibilities and artistic expression. Dan's style is less formal than Blair's, and Dan tends to lean toward a more relaxed look. Here are a few rules to achieve the "Dan" § look. 1. Layers: Dan | likes to layer with cardigans and vests. So layer your favorite ^ shirt with a car- f i digan or vest to achieve effortless style. 2. Military: Dan wears a lot of masculine military-esque apparel. Think of military jackets and safari jackets as a replacement to blazers. 3. Down to Earth: Dan wears a very neutral palette. Keep things understated by staying with muted tones that compliment a relaxed look.

Naked Juice products can be found at numerous locations such as grocery stores and even some convenient stores. Henry's Farmers Market retails the juice for $3.29 and sometimes offers two for $5.

Sarika Thai Kitchen Authentic and fresh Thai cuisine with great prices BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer In San Marcos, there are a handful of Thai food restaurants to choose from. One of these options is the Sarika Thai Kitchen, a small family-owned restaurant in San Marcos. I qame across the Sarika Thai Kitchen one day when I was looking for a different Thai restaurant in the area. Since the banner outside of the small restaurant read "Grand Opening," I was curious to taste their food. Since then, the Sarika Thai Kitchen has been my generation in their family to run a Thai restaurant The other location, Emerald Thai by Sarika, is located minutes away in Vista. According to the Sarika Thai Kitchen's website, their slogan is "North County's Best Thai Food" I have to agree that the Sarika Thai Kitchen is the best Thai cuisine that I have tasted in North County that also has the best prices. To get the most variety for your buck, the best deals are during the day. With 15 traditional Thai dishes to choosefromfor the lunch specials, each is a deal that is hard tofindfor the quality and amount of food that this restaurant serves.

The chefs use natural and fresh ingredients with exotic spices and they use vegetable oil and no MSG. The dishes are traditionally spicy; however, one does have the option to choose the level of spice by indicating from a range of 'Very mild" that begins at 1, to "fire hot" ending in number 10. If it is too spicy, you can always quench your thirst with one of their cold Thai Iced Teas, a great treat! The Thai Iced Tea has a strong black tea tastesweetened with their delicious coconut milk. Coconut milk is a key ingredient in the many dishes used in Thai cuisine. For those who enjoy thick sauces like curry, I recommend any of the curry dishes. My favorites are the panang curry and yellow curry. All lunch and dinner choices include the main entree and steamed rice with a hint of jasmine flavor. If you do no take advantage of the lunch spe- cials, be prepared to get less variety for a higher dinner price. The dinner entrees do not include the soup, salad, fried spring roll and fried wonton. Instead, you receive a larger portion of the entree and rice. Whether your visit takes place during the day or evening, the wide array of choices of appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks will be tasty and reasonable in price. The small, quiet atmosphere of the restaurant and thefriendlyand quick service will only add to your enjoyable experience at the Sarika Thai Kitchen. WHAT: Sarika Thai Kitchen WHERE: 1001 W.

For Women's History Month, "The Pride" shines its spotlight on a h andful of the many accomplished women that distinguish Cal State San Marcos. D r. V e r o n i c a A n o v e r Photo courtesy ofVeronica Anover Dr. Veronica Anover is Cal State San Marcos' 2008-2009 award recipient for the Outstanding PresidentAwardforTeachingExcellence. Anover received her Bachelor's Degree in translation and interpretation from L'Institut Catholique de Paris. She went on to receive a Master's degree in French and Spanish from FSU. Dr. Anover continued on to receive a Doctorate in French from Florida State University. Anover is a professor of Foreign Languages. She published a French textbook, "A vous!," along with two workbooks/lab manuals. Anover also published textbook in French that accompanies the "A vous!" textbook along with a textbook in Spanish that accompanies the textbook "Plazas." Anover is currently working on her third workbook/ lab manual in Spanish. As a contributor of the "French Review," Anover writes book reviews of contemporary women authors. Four book reviews are published per year. Anover also published scholarly articles in "Second Language Acquisition" and in "French and Spanish Contemporary Literature" written by women. Benoîte Groult, a woman now in her 80's has been Anover's role model in many ways. Groult was one ofthefirstFrench feminists who participated in the MLF (Mouvement pour la Libération de la Femme) the French Feminist Movement born in 1968. Of Groult, Anover's says "she reminded me how lucky we women are today. We should not take for granted what our 'mothers' and 'grand-mothers' accomplished for us." D r. S o h e i l a J o r j a n i Brakebill Award recipient, Dr. Soheila Jorjani, has been teaching on campus for 17 years. Joijani received a PhD from the University of California, Irvine in Operations Research. Jorjani has applied her knowledge and pursued significant scholarly activities. Jorjani was one of the first researchers to apply operations research models to environmental problems. Her work has been published in prestigious journals in the field of operations management and management science, such as the "International Journal of Production Research" and "Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications." Jorjani has made many contributions to the College of Business Administration. Since the beginning of her career on campus, Jorjani helped develop new classes and programs such as the Senior Experience Program. In 1993, Joijani and three other faculty members designed the unique program that remains the most important class of the curriculum for students of the CoBA. Every semester, graduating seniors work collaboratively to address real-life proj- ects proposed by local businesses. In 2005, Jorjani became the chair of the MBA committee, since then she has led the committee in revision of the program. The MBA program courses are each based on one of the four themes of environment, ethics, global, and technology. Since 2007, Jorjani has served as the director of the MBA Program and she explained that her biggest challenge is to make sure the program is implemented correctly. Outside of campus, Jorjani has a second job, beirlg a mother. With a 19-year-old daughter and her youngest at the age of 15, she wants nothing more than to be a good role model for them. Jorjani is trying to follow in the steps of her role model, Trini Photo by Gabriela Martinez Melcher, a former professor who she always admired. "She was the best mom, her kids were so accomplished," confesses Joijani. Jorjani is an Iranian who broke apart from a culture in which women are not thought to be career women. "It was a challenge to break away from that stereotype that they have for Middle Eastern women" says Joijani. Jorjani has a passion for being a housewife and a workingwoman. "I love doing both, to have a balance, to be comfortable in both roles," she says. Education is what allowed Jorjani to have that opportunity and she advises students to "get a high education, get a PhD, especially to women. Get a higher degree, because then you have a choice." D r. oMffliction: done before. And it toddard-Holmes artha S has a link Writing, followed by a PhD in being a good "Fictions f A Physical Disability m Victorian C ulture" is Dr. Martha Stoddard-Holmes' biggest accomplishment. StoddardHolmes began thinking about her ideas for this book since 1989 when she was still a graduate student. The book itself was published in 2004, a year after its completion. "The reason why I always think of this as my biggest accomplishment is that it did something that nobody else had f WH5 Lo 56° not just to literature and history, but also to peoples' lives now," says Stoddard-Holmes. Stoddard-Holmes' writing is about how society got ideas about what it means to be physically disabled. Aside from her book, being a parent, and raising her 15-yearold son is another major accomplishment for Dr. StoddardHolmes. Stoddard-Holmes holds a BA in English from Cornell University, and an MA in Creative â nmî/ 1 55° English Literature. StoddardHolmes received both her MA and PhD from the University of Colorado in Boulder. There are many friends and role models that StoddardHolmes knows who helped her become a better scholar. One being Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, a scholar from Emory University. Since 1993, she has been like a big sister to Stoddard-Holmes. "She has been my mentor and my role model in terms of scholar... she's a terrific scholar, she's my teacher, she keeps guiding me along the way," says Stoddard-Holmes. StoddardHolmes is the youngest in her family, giving her a wide variety of role models to look up to.

BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Letter t o the e ditor The graduation process is an exciting time in a student's life. Juggling work, family, and school commitments for a sustained five or more years makes the graduation day a hugereliefas well as a feeling of achievement. Unfortunately, it seems that at Cal State San Marcos it takes more than just finishing your graduatingrequirementsto successfully meet that all-important day. I recently graduated, or so I thought, from CSUSM with a BA in Literature and Writing with an emphasis in Literature. I was a transfer studentfromseveral universities and junior colleges and my transcripts were quite varied. The job of sorting through my courses and applying them to the right classes here at CSUSM went to my Faculty Advisor. Ifirstmet with her after the urging of my Academic Advisor, to sort out my course approvals. My Faculty Advisor and I discussed what classes we thought would match CSUSM's. She filled out the necessary paperwork and I thought everything was in order. I met again with my Academic Advisor to see if everything was in order and she said that it was.

I have to say one more thing about the Admissions and Records staff at CSUSM. Every time I have gone in there or called to get some more information and help I feel like I am inconveniencing them. I call and they want to hang up the phone as soon as possible with only giving me as many one-word responses as possible. The University Administration at CSUSM NEEDS to be reformed. There needs to be better communication between the faculty and administration. There needs to be more information for students available. I know I am not the only one who has had difficulties with the graduation process at CSUSM. I encourage everyone who has had difficulties to write President Haynes and let's get some changes made.

K im P ulvers Photo by Gabriela Martinez At the age of eight, Dr. Kim P ulvers' family was involved in a d readful car accident. Both of her parent's were seriously i njured. As a result o f the accident, her mother's entire l eft side became paralyzed, and at one point, doctors did not believe her mother would survive. "They said, 'She's never going to go back to work, she'll never really regain normal f unctioning,' but she was fortunate, she did survive. She pursued intensive rehab f or two years, everyday, all day. And as a result of her courage and her tenacity, she went back to elementary school teaching, she was able to go back to work, go back to living her life," says Pulvers. This tragic accident that led to a miraculous recovery is the reason why Pulvers first became interested in Positive Psychology. This life changing experience is what defines what Pulvers does, her focus on human strength and resilience. Pulvers followed her desire to learn about psychology* and graduated from Westmont College in 1994 with a BA in Psychology. She went on to complete a Practitioner Oriented Master's Degree. Pulvers later moved to Kansas City where she attended University of Kansas to receive a PhD in Clinical Psychology where she was trained in clinical work, research, and teaching. Another interest of Pulvers' is health,"I wanted to really understand more, on how to change people at the population level." In order to have that population level training and learn how to help people, she completed a Master of Public Health Degree in 2005 also from the University of Kansas. During her clinical training year Dilcie Perez In 1995, Dilcie Perez became a CSUSM graduate with a BA in Political Science. Perez went on to receive her Master's f rom Central Michigan University in 2000. In 1998, she once again became a cougar as Assistant Outreach Coordinator and, over a five-year period, became the Associate Director of the Outreach Program. As she was about to ¿ay goodbye once again to the university, the Associate Director of Multicultural Programs position became available. The position was to a brand new program that Perez had the honor of establishing in 2003. Soon after, Perez decided to live in Japan until CSUSM proposed she return as the Director of Student Life and Leadership. Photo by Gabriela Martinez Pereztooktheopportunity and has held the position ever since. Dilcie Perez was a recipient for the Student A ffairs Student Leadership Award and Employee of the Year Award. Aside from the o fficial awards she has received, Perez has been honored with many unofficial awards that have touched her heart deeply. "I feel that an award for me is gratification, when a student calls me and says, T m at this leadership conference and I had to think of someone who is a leader and it's you,'" adds Perez. Perez also sees being selected to complete d ifficult projects as an award, "When even my boss or someone will come and say 'Hey, we have this assignment that we THE PRIDE at Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Pulvers worked with drug and alcohol addiction. Following a Postdoctoral at UCSD FROM 2006-2008, Pulvers worked at the Cancer Center and focused on nicotine addiction. As of fall 2008, Pulvers is in her first year at CSUSM, where she came on board as a full time tenyear track faculty member. Pulvers was awarded a University Professional Development grant to study adaptive pathways for dealing with acute pain amongst smokers. In her studies, Pulvers wants to learn what thought strategies her subjects have and wants to teach these strategies to people battling addiction. In order to support her studies, CSUSM's Psychology department will be building a smoking lab. This unique asset will allow Pulvers to work with her undergraduate and graduate students through active learning. "I'm thrilled to be here. I'm happy to be at a place where I can do my research with great students," says Pulvers. really need done. Can you do it, r ight?'" says Perez. Perez is currently the American Council on Education O ffice of Women in Higher Education Southern California Regional Coordinator. There are only two in the state and Perez represents all of Southern California. "I think awards come in many shapes and sizes," voices Perez. "If you're looking for awards and official things, for me that not what drives me. It's the individual relationships and people that I come in contact with." Perez believes that role models are all around. She encourages women to believe in themselves. Though Perez can think of the traditional role models like her mother and previous supervisors, what draws her to someone is their fortitude in the mist of a crisis. "It's hard sometimes, because we see women who have never had someone tell them how awesome they are, and how incredible they are and half the battle is having confidence in yourself," Perez says, adding, "it's important to laugh at yourself, you're going to jack it up...we all do...you have to remember to have f un, live life, stretch yourself, don't get comfortable in your comfort zone." Joyce Bruggeman has held several paid and volunteer positions throughout her years. Bruggeman received her BA in Spanish with an* emphasis in Bilingual Education from the University of California, Irvine. Previous to Bruggeman's employment at CSUSM, she worked in market research for a real estate company, held various administrative positions in educational settings as well as small businesses, and was the co-owner of a small farm with her late husband. In 2001, Bruggeman began working at Cal State San Marcos where she also held numerous positions. Bruggeman worked in the Psychology department, acted as the Budget Manager for "The Pride Student Newspaper" as well as Assistant to the Dean of Students. In 2005, Bruggeman became the Resource Analyst for the Division of Student Affairs. Bruggeman believes this is a perfect fit for her, "I have the opportunity every day to help facilitate the various services that help our students at Cal State San Marcos." Aside from her work on campus, Bruggeman volunteers at public schools, community youth organizations, and church. "I have had the opportunity to serve my community as well as develop my professional skills by providing leadership, lecturing, teaching seminars, organizing events, and training other leaders" says Bruggeman. However the most fulfilling part of Bruggeman's life has been raising her two children, Katie, 21 and Brian, 26, with her late husband. "They have faced many ofthesame Photo courtesy ofJoyce Bruggerman challenges as their peers and have developed into amazing young adults. I am especially proud that when life handed them the worst, they met the challenge head on with their best. They are both strong, courageous, and loving individuals who consistently exceed my expectations" says Bruggeman. Though Bruggeman has had both male and female influences in her life, two women come to mind: a professional leader and a spiritual leader. Current Vice President for Student Affairs, Patricia Worden, is her professional role model. In Bruggeman's personal life, Barbara Brown has been her spiritual mentor. "These two women are phenomenal leaders and although their spheres of influence are vastly different, the characteristics that mark their leadership are strength, dignity, and grace. Sitting Under their leadership has been a privilege as they have both given me the opportunity to develop, encouraged me to grow, and prepared me to freely embrace the future, both professionally and personally."

As I sit down for the interview, I witness a nearly tearful goodbye with her close friend Catherine Cucinella. She hugs and tells Cucinella, a Literature and Writing Professor at CSUSM, they will be in touch and see each other soon. Before Nix started working for CSUSM, she was employed at Cal State San Bernardino. She joined CSUSM in 1992 when she decided to move closer to where her children were residing. Her daughter, who is currently working for the College of Business department at CSUSM, has been working longer than Nix at the university. When she first applied to CSUSM, she was hired to work in Facilities and Public Safety. But for the past ten years, Nix has been the Administrative Coordinator for the Literature and Writing department. When asked what she will mis3 the most after leaving CSUSM, she answers, "All the people I've worked with and the close relationships I've developed. I really enjoyed working with the people here and the students." From thefirstday on the job to her current retirement, Nix has been around to see the wonderful changes the university has made. When she first started her job with CSUSM, the campus was located in a strip mall on furniture row, which is a couple miles away from the university's current location. It was an "everybody knows everybody" community back on furniture row and Nix is happy to know she was a part of the university's growth over the past years. When asked what her daily routines will be like now that she is retiring, she jokingly answered, "I think the most exciting part is that I won't have to set that alarm in the morning unless if I want toi" A retirement party was held in honor of Nix on March 3. She said the celebration was wonderful and much more than she expected. She added, "Everyone was so sweet and it has been a very emotional, up and down time. It's going to be a big adjustment and I am going to miss so many people. It's hard to explain." It does not take long to notice that Photo by Jessenia Lua both students and faculty are going to miss having Nix Literature and Writing professor around.

A p rotest t o t he " C a l l t o A r m s " W S S A s ays no to w ar BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Students against the War on Terror will raise their voices here at CSUSM on Thursday, March 19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Forum Plaza next to Kellogg Library. The demonstration is part of a national movement to protest the continuing war on its sixth anniversary. The Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) of CSUSM is sponsoring an anti-war demonstra- tion. The protest is in coordination with the United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) organization, which is a coalition of over 1400 local and national organizations who are in protest of the Iraq War. Consuelo Martinez, Student President of WSSA says, "The demonstration is one of many actions taking place throughout the country. Students will participate in a mock "die-in" as a symbolic reminder of lives lost during the Iraq war. The "die-in" demonstration was started a couple of years ago with the Progressive Activist Network (PAN)." War is not just about one country's cost in money and body count. Currently, the US has lost over 5,000 Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, but on the other side of the fence, approximately one million Iraqis died with another 4.5 million displaced from their homes. Cost estimates for the war run around $600 billion currently spent and estimates up to $3 trillion for afinalamount (UFPJ). "I feel as students, it is important that we remember the destruction that continues after six years of war," Martinez said, and encouraging all to come out and observe the demonstration. According to Martinez, "the demonstration will not be a rally, but a peaceful event for students to observe and participate in. There will be information tables with pamphlets about statistics on the war, resources for military families, and peace activism." This will be far differentfromthe Vietnam demonstrations of the 1960s with students clogging hallways and waving signs demanding change in the establishment.. The WSSA encourages students to come out and experience the "die in" as a way to personally experience the tragedy that has befallen the latest generation of young adults. Come out and find out what you can do to change the course of the war. For information regarding any special accommodation that you may require, contact the WSSA at wssa.csusm@gmail. com. C S U S M g ets a l esson in w omen's h istory BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer March is here and it is the month of HERstory. CSUSM's Women's Center has organized a calendar of events to recognize women and what they have achieved, there are 15 events scheduled to take place throughout the entire month. Programming and Events Specialists for the Women's Center, Phylisa Wisdom (2009) says, "Women are often left out of mainstream history, so March being women's herstory month is a time to be able to appreciate women's contributions in history and have more program- ming. for the learning center." Herminia Ramirez, Community Outreach Specialist for the Women's Center and editor of their newspaper The Rag, adds that these events highlight things that are happening to women now. Ramirez says, the March 5 event 'Women in Latin American Politics, is information that is still happening and is still relevant. Ramirez follows by saying "Some of them are developing nations still, it is important to see what women are doing or what they should be doing." The Women in Latin American Politics event took place Thursday, March 5 during University ths Hour in Markstein Hall 101. Cynthia Chavez Metower leading the discussion touched on topics like quotas. She stated that third world countries have said that there is a quota of a limit that 30% of candidates must be women for both the upper and lower Housing. She continued to explain that this does not mean that 30% of women will be elected. It simply means that 30% must stand to be elected. Metower says, "indeed there are women who are capable and usually it's not the matter of whether you can find qualified women, but it's rather trying to change the structures of discrimination. The UniversityVoice Photos by Kevin Chatham /Pride Staff Writer structures have kept them from running." She mentioned that the effectiveness of the quotas depends largely on the nature of the countries electoral system, but that they work best where the laws are as specific as possible and there aren't loops holes in which they can get around and say no* The 50-minute presentation touched on today's important political areas, and allowed room towards the end for students to ask questions. For students who politics do not spark an interest in them should consider attending one of the many more remaining events. Wisdom is trilled for this semester's events, she says, "The cool thing about this semester is that there is such a wide range of events, that there really is something for everybody. You do get people with different majors and with different interests.. .they can come for support or for information if it's an academic event... the nice thing is we draw all kinds of people in." Upcoming Women's HERstory events to look forward to include: "Feminist Arts and the Maternal" in Commons 206 as well as "Women in Islam" in Mark 103, both events occur during University Hour at 12 p.m. today, March 17. i m " Did the time change hit home?"

Another way Photo courtesy of www.newtosandiego.com to celebrate St. Patrick's Day happens in Chicago when the city turns the Chicago River green. Since the early 1960's the city of Chicago has dyed the water in the Chicago River to celebrate this holiday. Many cities have tried this attempt with their local bodies of water but have failed to do so. Chicago locals believe that a little leprechaun comes in and helps with the process as the color dye is actually orange and not green. When the dye hits the water it appears orange, but give it a moment or two and it magically appears the perfect shade of Irish green. This is where locals believe the little leprechaun appears and comes in to help. For our local celebrations, San Diego has its own way of recognizing this holiday. This year, the city of San Diego hosted its 29 annual St. Patrick's Day parade on March 14th.

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer Barbie® has been a role model for girls around the world for half a century, and still hasn't aged a day. Her status as a role model is confirmed on license plate holders all over. A rough translation of the message reads, "I wanna be Barbie, the little (woman) has everything." Through fifty years of ageless, good living, this highly coveted doll of a woman does seem to have everything. Even as the original Material Girl, through the years she has given much more than she has gotten. She has given three generations of young girls the confidence to pursue anything and everything in life they can imagine. When Astronaut Barbie® was introduced in 1985, it was hard to imagine that one day, and very soon at that, women would be an important part of the NASA space program. And while she has pursued equality for women in a down to earth fashion, the manner in which she has done so is fitting for royalty. While many would consider her the Queen of the dolls, Barbie® has never forgotten her purpose, and has always watched after her loyal subjects with a gentle touch" of noblesse oblige. Barbie® has matured gracefully and with a quiet sophisticatiofi. She they celebrated the 50 birthday of Barbara 'Barbie®' Millicent Roberts by "throwing a pinkcarpet birthday bash at her real Maiibu Dream House®." According to myfoxla.com, "The guest list included model Heidi Klum, singer Katy Perry and actresses Ginnifer Goodwin, Holly Robinson Peete, Melissa Joan Hart and Elizabeth Berkley for a soiree hosted by 'event planner to the stars' Colin Cowie." But the party doesn't stop there. Mattel also says that "After Maiibu, the Barbie® Dream House® travels to The Palms in Las Vegas, where The Palms' Hot Pink Suite will be transformed into the Barbie™ Suite, opening in May 2009." Throughout 2009 celebrations will be held in honor of Barbie® around the world in all the major fashion centers. So you can expect to see her in New York City, Paris, Milan, Sydney, Tokyo and more. In this world Barbie® party, Mattel has even created a customized pink Nissan Micra convertible which gives buyers the opportunity to live the same top down driving fun that Barbie® has enjoyed in her pink Corvette. After all, if you really want to be Barbie®, why not take a spin in your very own Barbie® Nissan. Just maybe, in the end, you'll start seeing license plates holders that say "I wanna be you!" th Photo courtesy ofAssociated Press Heidi Kium in the Maiibu Barbie closet admiring the Barbie shoe collection is no longer the toy of a young girl that she was in 1959. She has blossomed into a woman that major fashion designers pursue, seeking to have their names associated with the most popular doll in history. The short list of haute couture fashion designers who have designed for her includes Bob Mackie, Versace* Escada, Giorgio Armani, Kate Spade, Nolan Miller, Ralph Lauren and many more. As Barbie® matured, she kept young girls loyal into their adulthood with these and other fabulous, limited edition Barbie® dolls. Outgrowing her original limited role as a childhood plaything, she has become a highly sought after and treasured collectable. Women who have grown up with Barbie® have not only found their place in the world with her help, they have made a place in their hearts, lives and homes for her. Her success seems particularly well earned. Perhaps Barbie's® good fortune is due in large part to the company she keeps. Her employer/promoter Mattel placed 7 on the list of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens 2009 list by thecro.com (Corporate Responsibility Officer). Earlier in the year, Forbes ranked Mattel 48 on their list of their annual list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For." After all, you are judged by the company you keep. There is no doubt that Mattel appreciates Barbie's contributions to their success. To honor her success, on March 9 , 2009 Mattel announced that th th th Federal funding now available for embryonic stem cell research BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer On March 9, President Barack Obama declared the start of a new scientific era for Americans. President Obama signed an executive order to revoke the Bush administration's federal restrictions on funding stem cell research thus now opening doors to doctors and researchers for scientific exploration through the use of embryonic stem cells. "Today, more than ever before, science holds the key to our survival as a planet and our security and prosperity as a nation. Its time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and work to restore America's place as the world leader in science and technology," said Obama in his speech as he introduced his new Presidential Executive Order, "Removing Barriers to Responsible Scientific Research Involving Human Stem Cells." The Bush's administration limited embryonic stem cell research for eight years, due to ethical and moral opposition making some feel as though American health advances were put on hold. "Federal funding will make it easier for labs to do research, with only private funding there are less resources and the process will inevitably go much slower, so hopefully we will see results that can benefit patients quicker," said Anna Hasselberg, a CSUSM biology professor.

INH will be in charge of making sure research is done ethically and follows the law to its full extent, according to a White House press release. The INH director will also be responsible for creating guidelines and rules to restrict potentially harmful and unworthy scientific research. "We will ensure that our government never opens the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction. It is dangerous, profoundly wrong, and has no place in our society, or any society," said Obama.

Recently, Cage and his wigs have been having a contest with himself to make he worst movies of the year. Based his past works "National Treasure 2," "Next," "Ghost Rider," and "Bangkok Dangerous," I lack hope for the success of this film. It will make some money, but Cage has been off the mark he hit with film such as "Leaving Las Vegas," "Adaptation," and "Matchstick Men."

I am unimpressed with the MAN I LOVE Y OU, MARCH 20, 2009 looks of this film. It looks like a little romp that will miss the mark because it has so much going on. The actors will for the romance and the comedy will flop in the genre blending film about figuring out who is working for whom. Lastly, there is "I Love You, Man," which has all the elements of a movie I would hate, but I want to see it. This concept film about a guy looking for a friend to be his best man stars Paul Rudd and Jason Segel. The iloveyouman.com Image courtesy ofDreamworks Pictures plot is simple, I but I expect big laughs from this film if it can stay away from the crude and stick-to-cleaver writing. This could be the best comedy of the year. It stars to fresh comedy actors who have great chemistry in the trailer. I like the idea that this film might avoid the over sexuality of a film such as "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." I hope this film about male bonding can hit the heights of other comedy classics such as "Swingers." * W h a t to S ee o n D V D Read Before V iewing BY BLAINE H.

So it is no surprise that Dana Newton, the Annual Events and Traditions Specialist for C.A.B., expected big results hosting the 2nd Annual Cougar Idol competition this month. There were a few differences from that of the television show and the C.A.B event at the Clarke Field House Grand Salon: there was no crazy lights show, no chaotic weeping girls, no huge stage, and no massive crowd ready to roar at the celebrity judges. However, the main elements were present: the contestants, a mini stage, a competitive yet supportive crowd, 3 judges, and a host who was the complete opposite of Mr. "Seacrest out." All eight participants made it to thefinalswith their stage faces ready to convince judges, Ryan McRae, Marilyn McWilliams, and Lisa Dickinson that they were the next Cougar Idol. Standing 4 feet 10 inches, Stephanie Abayan took home the big prize, $250 Ticketmaster gift card with her version of Dreamgirls "And I'm Telling You." No one would ever expect such a big voice to come out of Abayan, of whom some would believe and say is a small package. After judging the petite performer, Ryan McRae says, "You should be 8 foot 7".

Every instrument proclaims its forceful signature until a calmed hush lets Hansard's unusually gentle voice tell a story about a woman he loves. An acoustic guitar lines the foggy atmosphere until a bass drum pushes the singular voice into a chorus featuring Irglova's mild soprano harmonies. The song's chaotic conclusion releases in a violin-tinged swirl, falling into a still lull. The Frames are authentic Irish rock and roll leaving the fairness up to the Isle herself. Surely, they wouldn't be caught dead drinking green beer. The Frames BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor It's only fair for me to talk about an Irish band this week in honor of St. Patrick. The only thing more cliché than wearing green on the 17 would be to talk about "U2" as the end-all be-all Irish export. Sorry, Bono. No need for you this time around. My brain required little wracking before I settled on Ireland's "The Frames." The Dublin-based quintet formed in 1990 and remains highly influential within the city's music scene. th Glen Hansard, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Joe Doyle, Rob Bochnik, and Johnny Boyle are the current line-up for The Frames. Hansard founded the band with mostly different members, including bassist-turned-film director, John Carney. Let's assume you've been living under a rock since the 2008 Oscars. So that means you haven't heard of Carney's award-winning film, "Once." In 2007, the film inadvertently stole the show at the Sundance Film Festival. Hansard stars alongside Czech pianist, Marketa Irglova, as a struggling Irish musician who falls in love with a Czech immigrant. Sure, the storyline sounds bland and overdone on paper, but the film's musical merit garnered an Oscar for Best Original Song, "Falling Slowly." Hansard and Irglova wrote all of the music for the film while several of the songs were fresh recordings of The Frames' tracks. "Falling Slowly" originally appeared on The Frames' 2006 release, "The Cost." Hansard and Irglova pared down the track to fit with the romance of Carney's film.

I know that it was up to me to make the plans, but I really thought that Cole would be able to handle making a reservation. Oh well, now three days later I am following my ex-boyfriend into the woods to try and find the two morons who decided to get lost while attempting to find a telephone. At least I will finally get some alone time with him. "So I guess it's just me and you." He glares at me with the look I have become all too familiar with these past few years before finally speaking to me. "I don't really feel too much like talking okay, let's just find the guys and get back," he says. I sigh. I wonder how he went from being so in love with me to •being so cold. It seems like just yesterday that we were back in high school and crazy in love. Then without so much of a word he disappears and leaves it up to me tofillin the blanks. Typical of him to run from dealing with his emotions. "Well, it's already eerie enough out here in this darkness. I'm not going to just walk in silence. We can talk about whatever you like and besides I don't bite in case you have forgotten." I let out a nervous smile in his direction but quickly turn away from him before I lose my nerve. Evan looks away just as quickly and says, "Well that's not how I remember it." Why is it that he is being so difficult? I take a moment to look around at the surrounding forest and take in the beauty of the moonlight that is now lighting our path. This moment seems so perfect, but it feels so wrong. I've waited three years for this chance and now here I am letting myself completely fall apart. "Well you know it's been three years, Evan. I am clearly not the same girl I was in high school and you well you are definitely not the Evan that I fell in love with." Evan stops dead in his tracks and freezes.

Photo by Gabriela Martinez BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Senior Staff Writer Kona Brewing Company brews Fire Rock Pale Ale in Kona, Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy and son Spoon Khalsa founded the brewery in 1994. The brewery has three main brews which are Big Wave Golden Ale, Longboard Islander Lager, and Fire Rock Pale Ale. The company brews other specialty beers throughout the year. The company mainly sells in Hawaii, but also sells in the United States and Japan. The brewery operates two pubs and claims to have utilized recycled parts from surrounding islands such as a roof and bar table for its brew pub. Fire Rock Pale Ale can be found at multiple locations such as BevMo and Albertson's. Henry's Farmers Market retails a six pack of 12 fluid Ounce bottles for $8.49. The packaging refers to Kona's homeland. The container portrays two tourists taking a snapshot of an ocean liner passing in front of a slightly active volcano. Yellows, reds, andrichbrowns define the colors utilized. A yellow bottle caps with company's logo seals a pale ale with 6.0% alcohol by volume. Unique to the brand, underneath the bottle cap defines an English word in Hawaiian. For example, reef in English is laupapa in Hawaiian. The beer pours smooth generating a quarter inch head. Despite the small head, a semi-thick lancet remains for the duration of consumption. A beautiful orange brown hue glows from the glass. The four time winning award brew exudes a sweet honey aroma. The pale ale enters extremely soft before an exciting crash of malts and hops rejuvenate the mouth, tongue, and taste buds. The brewery suggests pairing the beer with heavy dishes such as barbeque, but they also assert the brew can be enjoyed with chicken and salads. If traveling to Hawaii seems currently out of the question, grab Kona's Fire Rock Pale Ale and enjoy, responsibly that is. Aloha! Pizzeria Luigi Real New York style p izza in San Diego BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer In a nation filled with chain pizza companies, Pizzeria Luigi is a fresh taste of the Italian pie. Located at 1137 25th Street on the corner of 25th & B Street in San Diego, it is worth the drive down the 1-15 after a day of midterms and lectures. Pizzeria Luigi opened just over four years ago and has grown ever since. Manager and CSUSM senior Kevin Gist says its popularity has grown over the years, adding that business has doubled compared to when owner Luigi Agostini opened the restaurant. Pizzeria Luigi specializes in Italian cuisinej especially New York style thin crust pizza. The thin pizza is full of flavor. A plain cheese pizza is delicious by itself and they have 18 other toppings available, including pepperoni, pesto, and other meats and vegetables. The restaurant offers one size pizza that costs $13 for cheese and each topping is $1.50. Each pizza is enough for three to four people. They also offer a selection of specialty pizza running between $14.50 and $18.50. The 'Mona Lisa' pizza consists of pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and black olives. This specialty pizza is savory and full of great flavor. The homemade thin crust holds up well considering the weight of all the ingredients and tastes great with the homemade sauce, which consists of sweet tomato and smooth basil flavor. The restaurant has other flavor filled options besides pizza. Their menu consists of pasta dishes, salads, and Italian stuffed sandwiches such as the stromboli and calzone. All have exceptional taste and are a great bargain running around $7. Weekend nights are busy, so the time concerned diner might consider going on a weekday.

This past weekend, volunteer searches continued at the search and rescue headquarters located in an abandoned Escondido warehouse donated to the Dubois by a concerned citizen. "We had a 7,500 square foot building donated to us. We're doing all of our work out of here," Amber's father, Maurine Dubois said in an NBC San Diego report on Saturday. "We have a separate mapping room where things are coordinated. It's much easier than trying to work out of a small trailer in a parking lot." The command center is located at 755 N. Quince Street in Escondido, CA and remains open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday until Amber's return. Hundreds of volunteers assisted over the weekend in the second large-scale search effort conducted since Amber's disappearance. The fourteen-year-old Escondido High School student was walking to school on Friday, February 13,2009 on North Broadway in Escondido. Two family friends reported seeing Amber a mere 300 yards from the school's gate at 7:10 a.m. Amber was carrying a handful of Valentine's Day gifts to give to her friends. Hours lajter, school officials called Amber's family to report that she had not shown up for her classes. "I will have continuous, 100percent hope until you completely prove it to me, there's a reason not to," Maurice Dubois said during a press conference. "I will never give up hope. Amber, if you're out there, you can guarantee I will never stop until we have found you and you're back home with us." On Feb. 28, Amber's story appeared on the popular American crime stoppers show, "America's MostWanted." The Escondido Police Department reported that exposure on the show helped generate tips.

Image by bringamberhome.com as well. Marc Klass, the program founder, is the father of Polly Klass, who was kidnapped from her home during a slumber party and murdered in 1993. "The family has to keep the hope alive. They have to be the ones that are going to inspire others to go out and look for their child. If the family gives up, everybody gives up," Klass said, NBC reported. The Dubois family recently increased their reward offering to $60,000, with $50,000 for information leading to their daughter's safe return and $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for her disappearance. Anonymous individuals and businesses donated the reward money to the family. "[The family] wants to get Amber home alive, therefore the majority of money has been allocated to that end," Klass told reporters at a news conference outside Escondido High School on March 4, according to the SanDiegoUnionTribune. "Butthey also understand that there might be darker scenarios and that that might not be possible." Both Klass and Brenda van Dam, whose daughter Danielle van Dam was kidnapped and murdered seven years ago, are said to be helping the Dubois family with search efforts. "I know this community has come together once before to help our family find closure," said Brenda van Dam, reported by the North County Times. "I'm asking that you please do it again for this family." Though police say there is no evidence to suggest Amber was kidnapped, her parents and family attest that Amber was not the type to go anywhere without contacting them, telling the North County Times that for her to run away would be "completely out of character." In fact, Amber was looking forward to bringing home a lamb she planned to raise as part of her school's Future Famer's Association project on the day she disappeared. "She would not have given up that lamb for anything," Amber's mother, Carrie McGonigle said, according to CNN. "She's a wholesome kid. She doesn't run amok like most teenagers. She did not run away, I guarantee it." In addition to police efforts, the family hired private investigator, Bill Garcia. According to Garcia and Escondido police, Amber's phone was last on for a few seconds on Feb. 14,2009 when someone turned the phone on in an attempt to access the voicemail and then shut off the phone. The phone was not on long enough for police to determine its location. Amber sent her grandmother several text messages and one to a friend before she left for school the morning of her disappearance. Police and search efforts so far yielded little leads. On Feb. 20, Amber's family held a candlelight vigil in front of Escondido High. The North County Times reported approximately 200 people attended the vigil wearing t-shirts with Amber's name and picture on them. At the vigil, Taylor Doyle, a lifelong Mend of Amber's, told the North County Times, "Amber's not the type to not go to school." Another friend of Amber's in attendance at the vigil was Hailey Kosinski. Kosinski described her friend to CNN as someone who is "sort of shy when youfirstmeet her, but once you get to now her, she's the kindest person you'll ever meet." "It's the most horrible, gutwrenching feeling to know your friend is out there and there's nothing you can do tf help her," Kosinski said. "You feel so powerless." The family has put together a website, wwwlbringamberhome. com, that features up-to-date information related to the case, hotline/ contact information, and downloadable search flyers. On the website, the family also thanks those involved in the rescue effort. "We cannot express enough our heartfelt gratitude to every individual, church, religious organizations, and searchers holding a good thought and keeping Amber and her safe return to her family in their prayers." "Thank you for helping to break through the darkness by being one of the lights that will bring our Amber home." "We cannot bear the thought of life without her." �Tuesday, March Viewpoint 10, 2009 THE^PRIDE SEX 101f( Food in the sack EDITORIAL STAFF BDITOR IN CHIEF BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer JACKIE CARBAJAL FACES AND PLACES Now, when I say "sack," I'm not talking about that of the paper persuasion.

If you see me on c ampus, ask me, it's quite the tale. So let's just say that you do decide to go through with a schmorgasbord of food and sex, at least make it romantic as opposed to a pig out session. Just remember to keep in mind that the food does not come first and it shouldn't be the main driving factor to involve food in your sexual experiences. Although it does sound amazing to eat bacon and donuts off your lover (yes, you know I'm talking to you, you manly Soviet man), make sure that that's not the only reason as to why you're doing that. Because chances are, if that's all you want out of this experience, you're probably going to get punched in the face and I'm sure that situation can be easily recreated with a big packet of bacon, box of donuts, and a lonely night with a porn tape (or DVD.. .maybe Blu-Ray, depending on how realistic you wish it were). Remember that sex is still a bond between you and your partner, not a bond between you and a 12oz sirloin. If you do involve food in some way, make it special and use food that is sensual. Use fruit or anything sweet, like chocolate, please remember how your body reacts to certain substances/foods. Keep in mind that couples should be careful to not introduce any sugary foods into the vagina because this could potentially cause yeast infections, for example. If you do decide to pull off a daring sexual experience, remember that your partner comes first (pun intended, again). So whether it be eating cereal out of the dimples of your partner's ass or playing with some Fruit Roll Up, remember that it's for passion. Bon(er) appétit (sorry, immature, I know)! THE PRIDE The pursuit of a good pair of headphones BY BILLRHEIN Senior Staff Writer Anyone who has seen me walking around campus will recognize the fact that I constantly have some type of headphones attached to my ears. I cannot j ustify this behavior other than to point out that I truly enjoy the music or podcasts on my iPod. What I can say is that I have gone through many pairs of headphones and know a thing or two about finding a good pair. I have no bias between ear buds or headphones for I had many good sets of both. One could buy a high-end headset and certainly be satisfied. But I do not know many college students who have room for Bose headphones in their budget. The pairs I recommend offer great sound quality and comfort and will not break the bank. First of all, if you are listening to your iPod, the buds it came with are decent. They are comfortable and offer good quality. The problem is they are more fragile than most ear buds. I have broken several headphones and many of them were iPod buds. Thus I will point out several that are also durable. But the iPod buds are a good starting point As an aside, I would quickly point out that if you have an mp3 player, I would be in shock if it were not an iPod. Though iPods are a bit more expensive, you get your money's worth due to the fact they are easy to use, have the best software, iTunes, and are backed by Apple's service. A step up from the iPod buds are the cheap Sony ones that can be found everywhere from Long's to Best Buy. I cannot find what they are called, but they are under $10 and are the blue or red buds that clip on to the ear. They may look cheap, I was even h esit ant a bout buying them, but they are very comfortable and offer great sound. The only time I broke a pair was when I stepped on them. At $10, they are not a major investment and will last. If you prefer headphones, look no further than the Phillips SHS390. These behind-the-head headphones offer comfort and quality. They run between $10 and $15 at most stores and come in either black or white. These will last long time as long as you do not sit on them or yank on the cord. When it comes to headphones, I like these ones, which only have one cord coming up to the ear, rather than the type that branch into two. Lastly, if you want DJ, overthe-ear type, get the Jensen JHF-310 DJ Headphones, if you can find them. They are the best headphones I have ever had, but the makers discontinued t hem/ They can be found for about $20 to $35 online from time to time. They fold up and have great quality and are super durable. If those cannot be found, try Sony MDR-V150 DJ Headphones, which have the same sound quality, but lack the features of the Jensen pair and have a really long cord. To find a good pair of headphones, be sure they are solid and protected near the ends of the cord to avoid breakage. Try some that look c omfortable, but be sure to keep the receipt and do not be afraid to return them. 1 Classifieds te^mm I Classifieds Laptop Broken?

N ORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com 9 5 11 �Tuesday, March Faces & Places 70, 2009 C ar accidents BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer No one ever wants to get into an accident, so what should you do if you find yourself in one? Here are some helpful tips for being prepared in an accident. Staying prepared: It is California law for drivers to always carry Proof of Insurance or Proof of Financial Responsibility, for most that means having your insurance card on hand. Make sure to have your insurance agent's contact information as well as a copy of your insurance policy. In car accidents it is important to understand what your auto insurance policy covers, so you'll know exactly how you are protected. Are you covered if an uninsured driver hits you? What are your insurance limits? These are questions you want to know the answers to before an accident occurs. Another way to stay prepared is to have a car safety kit stored in your car. This safety kit most likely comes with cones for directing traffic, a flashlight, and pen and paper for making notes and exchanging information. It is also wise to have a camera on hand to photograph any damage, street signs, and license plates of any other cars involved. Keeping emergency telephone numbers, as well as a note of any medical allergies you may have in the case of medical assistance is another important precaution. When an accident occurs: If you are in an accident you are required by law to stop, whether the accident involved a pedestrian, a parked car, or even property. According to the 2007 State Bar of California, if you do not stop, you can be charged with a hit-and-run even if the accident was not your fault. "The number one thing to do is to check for any injuries, with yourself, the other driver, and as well as the car," says CSUSM's Chief of Police, Ronald Hackenberg. "The first call that needs to be made is to 911." If there are any suspected injuries for T HE PRIDE How to d eal either party, notify medical authorities right away. "You have to be very aware and alert of other vehicles coming from behind you, especially on the highway," says Hackenberg. If the accident does occur on the highway, Hackenberg suggests moving your car to a safer location if possible or stand behind a guardrail for protection until help arrives. Put out cones to help other drivers be more aware that an accident has occurred. Exchange information with the other party such as names, phone numbers, and insurance company information. Take note of the license plate number, make, model and year of the other driver's car, and his/her driver's license number. Record the time, date and location of the accident, note street signs, the weather and exactly how the accident occurred, and try, if possible, to get witnesses' names and phone numbers as they may come in handy in trying to piece how the accident occurred. When police arrive, note the officer's badge number and do not admit fault anything you say could be recorded and later be used against you, so before taking the blame consult with your insurer or a lawyer. If an accident concerns a parked car or property damage, you must make an effort to locate the owner. If you cannot the law states that you can drive away only after leaving behind your name, number, address, and an explanation of the incident. After an accident: Request a copy of the police report of the accident for your records. When it is determined who was responsible for the cause of the accident, compensations may be made for personal injuries, car damages and even lost wages, all depending on the type of coverage both parties' insurance policies have. Keep in constant communication with your insurer and speak with a lawyer for any legal advice concerning the accident or making an insurance claim. Exclusive interview with ASI President BY DIANA VALDI VIA Pride Staff Writer Recently The Pride had the opportunity to interview our current Associated Student Inc. President, Alexander Hoang. Diana Valdivia: Tell us about yourself. Alex Hoang: My name is Alexander Hoang and I am your ASI President & CEO. I'm studying Business Administration /Management. I am an i nterna- ^ ^ ^ tional traveler that seeks to bring people together ^ ^ K r through my profesH H P sional & personal experience. Oh and I love my mommy's cooking. Valdivia: Almost a year ago you were elected as ASI President. What made you want to run for this position? Hoang: From the moment I set foot on CSUSM, I fell in love with it. I knew this intimate learning environment would transform my life, and I wanted to make a positive impact on At as well. Many students expressed their personal confidence in my leadership and shared with me how I helped their lives through my roles as a resident advisor, an orientation team member, and active member of various clubs. As a natural advocate, I decided to step up to the next level for all students. Valdivia: What do you think is the biggest issue facing CSUSM students at this time? Hoang: The biggest issue facing students is affordability and access here ^ at CSUSM. The economic crisis is taking its toll on students and the ______ budget cuts Photo by Diana Valdivia have limited enrollment. Parking permit prices and textbooks are extremely high, availability of parking is troubling, and the offering of fewer class sections are delaying graduation rates. Valdivia: As ASI President, what are you doing to help students with this issue? Hoang: I asked President Haynes for help regarding parking permit prices when I f irst stepped into o ffice and with the help of ASI advocacy, she cut the proposed increase by $35 dollars for the next academic year. I also advocate on a statewide level for our students and have led a textb.ook affordability resolution that recently passed and is in the works at our home campus. I've also spearheaded the coded memorandum on shared governance for our CSU. This ensures the accountability of having a student on an administrative committee / initiative to voice the student perspective. Valdivia: What is your stand on the idea and planning for the new University Student Union? Hoang: The USU is an awesome legacy in the process. It will clearly benefit the whole community at CSUSM. Faculty and staff in our administration should be included in the fee implementation, not just students, since it will enhance our community as a whole. Valdivia: What has been the best part of being ASI President? Hoang: The best part is standing by the side of my fellow students each day. To give my best, everything that I am to engaging, empowering, and serving students is a true honor and privilege, Valdivia: What has been the biggest challenge as ASI President? Hoang: The biggest challenge is the learning curve. I have stepped up to this challenge by professionally developing the board and creating an ASI 101 living transition manual so that any f uture student chosen by their constituents to lead will be quickly supported in order to deliver results for the students of CSUSM. Valdivia: Any additional thoughts you would like to share with students?

BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer Although the small scale nuclear reactor found in a Delorean may sound like a nice alternative for fossil fuels, until we get a fully functional Flux Capacitor this just won't be a viable option. Don't despair as plenty of realistic options are in the works with many already on the road Fossil Fuel freedom includes options such as Fuel Cell Technology, Ethanol, Electric Hybrids and even Algae. Could Algae become a viable fuel source for cars? While Algae may not propel your car with the power of 1.21 jiggawatts, if it can power a 747 it's probably got the potential to get your Scion moving too. In order for algae to be used as fuel in vehicles, it must be processed in a manner similar to converting oil into gasoline. According to Dave Demeqian writing for wired.com, "PetroSun Biofuels has opened a commercial algae-to-biofuels farm on the Texas Gulf Coast..." and continues "Of all the options for future jet biofuel production, algae is considered one of the most viable." In this same article the viability of using biofuels is given credence as in early 2008 "Virgin Atlantic flew a 747 partially powered by coconut andbabassu oil." The CEO ofVirgin Atlantic has become deeply concerned about the environment and is taking a leadership role in promoting alternative fuels. — In an article by Mike Magda on autobloggreen.com "Branson says B5 •¡hHËlT"""^ M Photo by saabclub.com theuse ofbiofuels shouldbe expanded to many industries. Branson's Virgin transportation companies, including Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains, are going to reinvest profits into renewable energy, and Virgin Fuels is expected to be a beneficiary. The company was already into bioethanol production and researching other alternative fuels." Perhaps Branson may be looking at the profit potential of alternative fuels even as he claims a concern for the environment One may question Branson's real motivation, but it would be very hard to say that he is all talk. He is taking a very strong leadership role in creating a more environmentally friendly option to fossil fuels. While algae may become an excellent substituteforfossil fuels in the future, other options are already on the road, and more are coming soon from major auto manufacturers. There are already Hybrid Elec- tries, Flex Fuel vehicles, Natural Gas Vehicles, and Biodiesel cars commercially available to purchase. And without regard to the form of transportation, these alternatives to fossil fuels can be adapted to work in planes, trains and automobiles. And don't forget about the possibility of pure electric cars. GM hasn't forgotten about pure electrics in spite of having pulled the plug on the EV1, thefirstcommercially available modern electric car. According to the Chevy web site the 'The Extended-Range Electric Vehicle that is redefining the automotive world is no longer just a rumor. In feet, its propulsion system is so revolutionary, it's unlike any other vehicle or electric car that's ever been introduced" The Volt is scheduled to hit the road in late 2010, and if successful could lead the charge of a whole brigade of environmentally friendly cars. health, but this is also the recipe for a healthy night's sleep.

Tuesday March 10, 2009 BY PRISCILLA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer Despite budget cuts and cancelled classes, Dr. Karno Ng teaches a chemistry laboratory course never before offered by CSUSM. Background Info; Previously, both chemistry majors as well as pre-med students would take the CHEM 250 course and pair it with CHEM 275, a threecredit course including a class and lab. Students who did not fall into this category would generally take no accompanying lab with the CHEM 250 course. This method worked well for quite some time. However, it was actually a hindrance for non-chemistry majors. This is because non-chemistry majors such as pre-med students were not required to take CHEM 275 but just needed an accompanying lab for professional degree purposes. Therefore, instead of taking a 1-credit lab, no alternative was given, forcing them to take on a course they really did not need. For chemistry majors, however, taking the required CHEM 275 in conjecture with CHEM 25Ò allowed them to save time. Lab's Purpose: As a remedy to this dilemma, a new CHEM 250 lab was developed this year. The lab "was primarily designed as a means for students who are not chemistry majors to get a second semester of 'general chemistry lab' for the purpose of applying to medical school or other graduate or profes- sional programs for which two semesters of general chemistry lab are prerequisites," said Dr. Michael Schmidt, the current Chem 250 course instructor. None of this makes any difference to students who are neither chemistry majors or pre-med students, since they can still take the CHEM 250 lecture without the lab, just as before. I nstructor Highlight: Dr. Karno Ng currently teaches the new CHEM 250 lab. Dr. Ng has a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry and had the honor of being Summa Cum Laude (3.8 GPA average), has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and an MBA. She was also the 2007/2008 recipient for the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching and Learning from CSUSM. Because of her expertise in Analytical Chemistry and her substantial qualifications, she was given thé prestigious honor of creating the CHEM 250 lab from scratch. Dr. Ng says it is a lot of hard work but this opportunity is a privilege. She employs a variety of educational tools such as worksheets, pre-lab quizzes, the Vermier Software Program for certain experiments, inclass quizzes, lectures expounding upon the next week's lab and mini-lectures the day of the lab to reiterate important points and reminders. "The new CHEM 250 lab will usually be offered every spring while the CHEM 250 lecture will most likely be offered in both fall and spring semesters," Ng says. Lab Response: Students have both T HE PRIDE favorable and u nfavorable responses to the new CHEM 250 lab. "For students looking formed school or pre-professional studies, it's good because it gives you one f ull year so it saves time and it works out with my schedule too so it's convenient," said CSUSM student Ari^ anne Schultz. Comparing it to Organic Chemistry 202, senior Alicia Hart says CHEM 250 is a "baby lab" and that coming back for the lab was actually beneficial because it helped her refresh the material. Both Hart and sophomore Brittney Banfer agree their previous labs ran more smoothly than the Chem 250 lab. Since this is a new lab, many unforeseen problems arise causing confusion. Understandably, Photo by Priscilla George many kinks still need to be worked out. Junior Jennifer Oberschmid thinks "it's kind of cool to be part of an 'experiment'." When asked about the lab size and atmosphere, Banfer replied "the class is small so you're able to get help if you need it and not wait forever to ask questions and the atmosphere is f un and light."

Now, since films like "Saw" and "Hostel," horrorfilmshave become all about blood and mutilation. Real thrills in horror films come from fear leading to the violence, not the actual deaths. This film has potential if it can maintain a high level of anxiety in viewers. Also out this week are several films going into limited release. Though there are several, I would like to give a nod to "Edge of Love" and "Three Monkeys"which appear to be a pair of really artistic films.

Now that my brain is square between my ears, I may confidently propose that to shuffle is to discover. I am in no way convinced that this happy bit of chance absolves any of the" aforementioned offenses, but I suppose music's value surfaces when it is listened to rather than heard.

Come to our weekly meeting Tuesdays at 5pm in Craven 3500 (by the elevator) or email csusmpride@gmaii.com California State University San Marcos University Student Union Student Forums As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community. The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility. CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes. Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.

If maybe she had called herself or enlisted a five year old, maybe, then maybe, we wouldn't be where we are right now. "This whole trip was your dumb idea, remember? Don't blame me." Paige says to me before she crosses her arms and drops down on a stump in the dirt. I glare at Cole, while Amy and Kimberly play Go Fish in the truck bed. "How in the world is this my fault?" "Well, it's not mine and now Bryan and Tim are missing." Back over winter break, I suggested that we all get together like the old days for a road trip. Paige thought it might be nice to rent a cabin by the lake over the spring break. Everyone agreed. For months, I looked forward to it. I didn't mind mid terms and I sure as hell didn't worry about all the money I would essentially be wasting that could be put to better use like for bills and food. Four minutes into the trip, I knew it was a bad idea. "What do you mean, we have to sleep in tents?" Amy and Kimberly said in near unison. "I mean, Cole forgot to make reservations for the cabin so we have to sleep in tents." I clarified. "Oh really?" Amy said, then leaned over and gave Cole a Wet Willie. Kimberly glared at her. By day three, everyone was ready to cut the trip short and Bryan broke the news that he had to be back at work the next afternoon. The other tents were packed by the time I woke up. Paige shook me out of sleep sometime during the night. Her hair was in a braid and she was in the same overalls and white taiik top she had been in since we left Bryan's house to come up here. She kissed me on the cheek and told me to rise and shine. Truth be told, I was pretty sick of the dirt in myfingernailsand ants in my food. Tim was going into withdrawals not having any phone service and he's pretty lousy when he doesn't have phone service. Amy and Kimberly were about to kill each other and Cole was too full of himself to try to mediate it. "This isn't high school anymore, Evan." Paige told me this afternoon before letting me know they all decided to give it up and head back home later tonight. The campground was pretty vacant. I remember the park ranger telling us there were two other groups checked in for the week. He handed us a map that Bryan used for blow his nose and that's the last I remember seeing it. The ranger also told us something about what to do in case of emergencies but it went in one ear and out the other like when flight attendants tell you about those inflatable life preservers on airplanes. I stumbled out our tent and combed my greasy hair back. I was helping Cole load the boat on the trailer while Paige, Tim, and Amy were playing on the dock. Tim was trying to push the girls into the lake while they screamed and protested. Tim lost his balance on the foot of the dock and grabbed Paige's arm for support. Both of them crash landed into the chilly water. I heard Paige's screeches while Amy laughed. Then I heard her cursing and I knew something was up. "The keys! They're gone!" Paige kept saying over and over before adding, "I hope you brought scuba gear because we aren't leaving without those keys." "Don't be so dramatic," Amy Word(s) \ said. "We'll just call someone to come get us;" "How? With smoke signals?" Four hours passed, which lead me here with Bryan and Tim missing and Paige treating me like we never broke up, attitude and all. Cole leans over to me as I stare out ahead, trying to think. "This is bad, man. What are we gonna do?" I try to keep myself calm because I know everyone else is freaking out because it's dark outside. I know the practical thing to do would be to sleep and then worry about finding a phone in the morning but no one wants to do that. "Why don't you stay here with the girls and Paige and I'll go find the guys and get to a phone." To Be Continued.., Check in next week to read the continuation of "A Neverending Story" as told by a different writer.

The prices on these rolls range from $6-$10, depending on what the ingredients are and how much is used. For those who do not see the appeal of sushi, Sushi 101 also offers Bento, or to-go, dishes. Although salmon is offered, a person also has their choice of Kalbi (grilled beef), Bulgogi (barbecue), Tonkatsu (fried pork) and chicken, which can be served fried or grilled. These options are great for those who do not have much time to eat before classes, as they take less time to prepare and eat than sushi. Also, they Photo by Matt Lewis are meat options that are filling but do not cause drowsiness like fried food options. One misconception that people have is that food from school cannot taste good, or at least cannot compete with the quality of an outside restaurant. This is an unfortunate misconception that students carry over from elementary school, when abominations like "haystacks" and square pizza were the best options. However, nothing could be further from the truth in this case. Want proof? If people really think outside food is better, they will be happy to hear that the chefs at Sushi 101 are from the San Marcos branch of Sushiya, a popular sushi bar chain. In fact, much of the menu that regular Sushiya customers love remains intact for this tiny but delicious sushi spot in the Big Cat Food Court. So why not try something new for lunch that does not require microwaves or fryalators? Sometimes new experiences can lead to life-long love affairs, even in the case of raw fish. Jones Soda Blue Bubble Gum Every kid's d ream, liquid b ubble gum BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Senior Staff Writer Jones Soda manages the production of their product in Seattle, Washington. Peter van Stoll| founded what would eventually become Jones Soda in 1987. The company gained momentum in 1994 when the Jones brand name became widely available due to the support from a large distributor. Jones Soda became the official name for the company in 2000. The company began with only sixflavors.Currently, the company has 20flavorsamongst a slew of different beverages including energy drinks. Jones Soda can be purchased individually, in 4 packs, and even in 24 packs. A singe bottle of Jones Soda retails for about a dollar and a half. Finding the beverage might be trickier than finding more popular brands of soda such as Coke or Pepsi. However, BevMo stores offer a great selection. A unique characteristic about Jones Soda the random photos on ea bottle. The pictures ran from a close up of a bee a crashing ocean, and pretty much anything and every- thing in between. The beverage company selects pictures submitted by customers. Making the distinctive characteristic even more amazing is the fact that customers can special order a 12 pack of Jones Soda with their own photo and quote for $30. A slight mist escapes from the chilled bottle after opening the sealed cap. Under the cap reads, "Be an angel. Save a life." The vibrant color blasts beautiful blue rays into every direction. The fluid releases a scent very similar to a package of Bubblicious Blue Bubble Gum. The kid inside jumps for joy as the blueberry flavored soda gently massages all areas of the mouth before passing on. The tongue cannot help but rub the lips as the taste buds excitedly beg for more Jones Soda. "It smells so sweat! It's almost like a cream soda. It kind of takes you back to your childhood a little bit. I don't know exactly how, but it does," said Senior Business major Bryan Spangenberg. Make sure to chill Jones Soda to maximize pleasure. Ice might water down the wonderful tasting drink. Cheers mates! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Ouch, tough question. There are so many temptations out there during, and especially a fter, a relationship is over. Maybe you have a thing for that one girl with the brown eyes in your Human Sexuality class (yes, ironic, I know), . or that boy with the spiky hair in your American Literature course, or that girl with the hump back or third nipple in your Anthropology class (not really, but could you imagine?). D isclaimer: Ivan Garcia does not condone the violation or the use of visual, physical, or informational exploration in or out of class to obtain visual, physical, or informational proof as to the existence of a third nipple. As I 'm sure you read about in my last article (you read it right? I mean, you'd really hurt me if you didn't read it), recovering f rom a relationship is your first priority. Never are you to put yourself or your potential p artner at risk of getting hurt or in a position to not receive your f ull commitment. Make sure you're ready to commit again, don't j ust go f or a " booty call," otherwise I 'll find you and kick you in the face. Make sure to b e r espectful, take your time, but also understand that you can't wait too long. You never know when something amazing might pass you by. Obviously if you j ust got out of a 2 or 3 year relationship (for example), take the appropriate time you need to get things straightened out with your ex, establish a support network or f riends and family, then move on. If you do so happen to find that special someone again, make sure that person knows and understands your past relationship and how you're feeling about it now. Please don't tell them that you're t otally ready to "do it" when in reality all you do when you get home is crawl in your bed, f orm a fetal position, and cry. Number 1, I 'm sure that'd b e a little creepy and sad. A nd 2, w ell... you must have been dating Legolas or Chuck Norris or something for you to b e that depressed. Let me set up a scenario, you (yes, you) j ust got out of a 3-year relationship. Your partner was the one that initiated the break-up and you still love them. Staying at home and looking at old vacation photos in which you both visited the world's largest ball of y arn isn't your cup of tea. On a side note, if you do do that, then be happy that y'all broke up because that sounds REALLY boring. A nyways, so what is l eft to do when you c an't forget about her/him? C ommunicate with people, learn their personalities, m ake a real connection, and h opefully something f antastic can flourish. Just r emember that that recovery solution sure as hell i sn't going out and having v arying sexual encounters with many d ifferent people. Sex should b e a connection between t wo people that love each other, so something tells me that yelling out C had's name while violently humping Tyler might b e a problem, t here's no recovering f rom that.

Belligerence, b ooze, blondes BY KAT BRANDT Pride Staff Writer Every night at 10 o'clock at the University Village Apartments, two resident advisors suit up with a blue binder and do two sets of rounds. Rounds consists of checking every door in the dorms to see if it's locked, reminding hyperactive Freshmen that quiet hours commence at 10 p.m., and hoping that the nightly rounds will be without incident. On one such innocent night, David Skora and I were walking the halls at the UVA. Not two floors in we come up to a door that is reverberating with voices and music. Skora and I look at each other and knock, but to no surprise, there is no answer. We ring the doorbell repeatedly, and suddenly the place goes dead quiet. I kid you not, from inside we hear, "Shhhhh! It's the RAs!" * Bathroom doors open and close (hide!). Cabinets shudder as they are slammed shut (hide the booze!). The front door is barely cracked opened, and one sheepish guy tries telling us that there isn't a problem. After a quick head count, we find that there are twenty-three guests—and all for one resident. The guests filed out the door, but one blonde, drunken guest came back for the phone that she had left behind. Her bulg- ing purse clanked with cans, and Skora asks her to please take out all the beer (eighteen cans). Curse words flowed out of her mouth as seamlessly as the Coors Light flowed into the sink. Our resident director asked me to call UPD, and while I was doing so the belligerent blonde ran off and crouched in some bushes. She was chased by UPD, caught, questioned, and then handed over to a friend. After all the excitement and verbal abuse, Skora and I go on to find five more parties, filled with under-aged drinkers, cursing their being found out. Being a resident advisor doesn't mean that we're out to bust residents—we're looking out for their best interest, their health and safety. We take on this position to make sure that residents get the most out of their college experience, and in the process, we accumulate some hilarious stories. Making an impact C SUSM students reach out to Escondido youth t o work w ith a real l ife situation, instead of the 'what i f scenarios that are created by a text book or a professor that involves a simple Google search. We are interacting and working with real life people and real life situations. Overall its great because we are making a difference in the community while we get a great education." Dr. Sun says the semester project will help the creation and deployment of multimedia to achieve business goals via marketing and communication that requires proficiency in computer graphics, digital audio, digital video, and tools which allows the integration of a variety of file types into a coherent presentation experience. This course will also teach CSUSM students how to work in teams and complete complex projects. The program's overall purpose is to bring out awareness and make a difference in our community. MIS students are making a video to help out, but anyone can get involved. Escondido Impact needs volunteers to help coach and organize events. If students are interested, they can contact Dave Luevanos, at escondidoimpact@ yahoo.com or 760-219-5594. "The announcement regarding today's request for input at the Academic Affairs Town Hall was sent out by the Academic Senate Study Group which is comprised of four faculty members, a student, a student affairs staff member, and an administrator. The Academic Senate Study Group is seeking feedback and input from students, staff and faculty at the Academic Affairs Town Hall." Since other campuses in San Diego like SDSU and USD have ROTC programs, some people find it surprising that a North County campus has not offered this option. "I find it hard to believe, considering the amount of Marines who come through here," said Michael Dominick, who works at the Veteran's Service office at Palomar College. "You would think that with the proximity to the base in Oceanside, one of [the campuses] would have a program set up by now. It confused me when I applied here just coming out of the Marine Corp." So far, not even Mira Costa College, which is located in Oceanside, has offered ROTC courses for any branch of service. The introduction of these courses offers a lot of choices to the Cal State San Marcos campus. If introduced, it could mean a lot of money and funding, for both the physical structures and the academic curriculum. Many more students looking to apply to college could consider Cal State as a wellrounded campus. On the other hand, the conflict between policies cannot be ignored. It also presents a chance for our students to make an impact on the real world. This dispute could act as a microcosm, and whichever way we solve it, will have applications in the real world. CSUSM students are helping students who are less fortunate. Dr. Yi Sun's Multimedia in Business (MIS 427) students are creating a benefit video for Mission School's Soccer Academy. The Mission Soccer Academy, now in its second year, is becoming the Escondido Impact. Escondido Impact is hoping to reach out to less fortunate students and to the entire Mission Park Community with the help of CSUSM's According to Escondido Impact volunteers, the program's main purpose is to help students discover the road to success. Dr. Sun said, "Some of my students have expressed to me that they grew up in a similar environment. I think it's a very noble project. I think what our students are doing is noble, volunteering their free time to help these kids." The program has made an enormous impact on the lives of many kids already. By proving academic support and mentoring, all of the student's involved in the program All of the students have a GPA of a 3.0 or higher. These students had less than a 2.0 average before the program's introduction. Now they cannot wait to get to high school and continue on to college. The benefit video's creation is free of charge. Dr. Sun explains that the program does not receive enough funding to be able to pay for a project like this. "We don't charge. We provide a service and at the same time our students learn from this experience." Carlos Reyes, one of the participating students, said, "It's exciting M IS students. n ow h ave t he m eans t o s ucceed.

The Academic Senate, who will use student feedback from both the meeting and comments submitted online, will address these concerns as they make their decision. "The Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee will make a recommendation whether or not ROTC courses should be offered at CSUSM, and their recommendation goes to the Academic Senate for a vote," said Cathy Baur, Associate Vice President of the Communication department, where the Academic Senate is located. BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer R OTC controversy draws to a close Feb. 24, 2009 - A public forum was held in Markstein Hall during U-hour to take student comments on the ROTC issue on campus. Last week, the Pride featured a story outlining CSUSM's proposal to include ROTC courses along with the standard curriculum. The proposal to add ROTC courses was originally created by the Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee. The issue with this proposal is that the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy con- UniversityVoice Photos by Priscilla George/Pride Staff Writer // How do you feel about the preacher here on campus?"

"I have my own beliefs but I would hear them out at least» I think they would be good for someone looking for something to believe in or maybe are unsure." "Personally I avoided him because he made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The way he delivers [his message] should be nicer to people, less intimidating." "I think its cool that in college, people of all difference beliefs can come together. However» I think [he] has not been going about informing people of his religion the right way."

What about the yearly tradition of watching "How the Grinch Stole C hristmas" on C hristmas Eve? For creating such a staple in American pop c ulture, most c ouldn't even recall the f ull name of the man behind these iconic c haracters and children's books. Even Google changed its faceplate this past Monday, March 2, to honor the b irthday and legacy of the late Theodor ' Ted" Seuss Geisel, more commonly known as Dr. Seuss. The Random House website dedicated to all things Seuss related, Seussville.com, contains a c olorful biography on the author. Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Geisel credited his mother f or his famous rhyming technique. His mother, who worked in a pie bakery in her youth, used to chant the pie names to customers and in t urn, would use the same chants like nursery rhymes to calm Geisel when he had trouble sleeping. For someone who w rote such moralistic c hildren's stories, Geisel's early y ears as a college student not so i nnocent. Geisel a ttended D artmouth College *and*-was. * editor- i n chief for their humor magazine, "Jack-oLantern." D artmouth however, revoked his position Image courtesy of Wikipedia Oxford University awarded him a fellowship. His father was so excited that he told their local newspaper to report the story. Geisel then confessed that Oxford denied his fellowship and his f ather had to round up his savings to send to Oxford anyways. While attending Oxford with intentions to become a professor, classmate Helen Palmer noticed Geisel doodling during class. She told him that he should become an artist instead of a professor. Geisel took the advise to heart and pursued his career in art and w hen he was caught t hrowing a party created cartoon style t raining f ilms for the U.S. Army. A fter the war, Geisel continued publishing his cartoons in various magazines but he also had a desire to write as well. His f irst few attempts were met with rejection or little acclaim. " The Cat in the H at" gave Geisel notability and skyrocketed his career as a children's book writer and illustrator. Some of his other famous books include "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish," "Hop on Pop," and "Horton Hears a W ho!" Geisel died in San Diego, CA on September 24, 1991. In 1995, UCSD renamed its University Library Building, Geisel Library in his honor. This past December, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver inducted Geisel in the California Hall of Fame located at The California Museum for History, Women, and the A rts in Sacramento.

The Programming Council includes departments such as Associated Students, Inc., Athletics, The Clarke Field House/University Student Union, Student Health & Counseling Services, Student Life & Leadership, University Village Apartments, among others. One of the main purposes of the Programming Council is to come together to develop a calendar showcasing student events that connect to the campus. Recently, three students, Emily Rehm, Nicholas Stein and Sean Richards started to collaborate with the Programming Council to feature a brand new student news show that presents campus events. Cougar News Network (CNN) is CSUSM's student news show. Rehm, Stein, and Richards currently work for CNN. Rehm and Stein both anchor the news show under the personalities of Locksley Choz and Dusty Butterworks. While Richards, as Jet Michaels, mainly reports on campus events. CNN is currently doing a monthly episode featuring highlights around campus life. The Pride had the opportunity to interview two of CNN stars, Dusty Butterworks and Jet Michaels. Diana: What does CNN stand for? Dusty: CNN stands for Cougar Jet: News Dusty: Network Diana: How do you come up with the idea? Dusty: Well actually Nick Stein is in the Orientation Team and they did a video on the Orientation Team where they were newscasters and it kind of sprouted off that with someone that works down in the studio at the library he kind of had a good idea for us to start a student news show.

The graphic novel inspired film "Watchmen" hits theaters this week and is the only film going to wide release. It appears other films makers Arts & Entertainment are not willing to challenge this film that the media has publicized for the past several months. Originally, movie makers-thought "Watchmen" tq be "un-filmable" because of its darker elements, yet fans of the comic books, which debuted in the mid-1980s, will get to see the film adaptation. The movie is a film adaptation of the tales of comic book super heroes. Unlike the typical Batman or Spiderman film version, "Watchmen" is dark and filled with violence and sex. Director Zach Snyder is responsible for other films based on graphic novels, such as "300." With him behind the reigns, I Tuesday; March 0 3, 2 009 expect a bloody, action-packed, and visually stunning film. The film promises to be entertaining for those who have not read the comic book as well. The story is about a group of superheroes seeking revenge for the death of a colleague set in a different version of society in 1985. Other than that, there is ntft much to say about the h andful of limited release films debuting this week. There are two foreign films, "12" and "Tokyo!," which might appeal to the artloving crowd. "12" has earned awards and acclaim, but may be too serious for the average filmgoer. The huge comic book fan base and slick advertising campaign will put "Watchmen" on top of 7 the box office. It has the potential to make a tremendous amount of money. Image courtesy of Warner Bros. W hat to see on DVD A post Valentine's D ay hangover BY BLAINE MOGIL Pride Staff Writer It is strange how t hings work out. On the week celebrating St. Valentines, no movies were in the queue that r eflected the h eart of the moment. T his week delivers broken h earts and broken people. Well, mostly j ust broken men. A fter watching these f ilms, I began to wonder, 'Are we men as a species truly so d efective?' While most women would likely answer yes, Tmly a t ruly h onest man would answer the same. So let's take a deeper look at this week's DVD selections f eaturing love and men at their worst. "My Name Is Bruce." This film stars cult movie star Bruce Campbell. Bruce does pretty much anything other than mainstream Hollywood fare. Bruce is the glue that holds together campy productions. His work ranges from the "Evil D ead" trilogy to cult classic television with "Xena: Warrior Princess," "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and h is own spin off of these shows "Jack of All Trades." He then he goes back to the big screen fighting mummies as Elvis Presley in "Bubba-HoTep." In this film Bruce portrays himself. J eff, one of Bruce's biggest fans, removes , a talisman f rom a m ineshaft entrance and in the process releases the dreaded Bean Curd Demon. Taylor Sharpe in his first movie role plays J eff, and fills the role j ust fine. With no idea where to t urn, or who to t urn to, Jeff kidnaps Bruce and drives him back to his small town in the middle of nowhere. J eff's mother Grace, played right in tune with the production by Grace Thorsen, is Bruce's foil and love interest. She exposes whatever flaw's there are in Bruce that he didn't already expose. As lightweight as this film is, the overall experience is a f un time. If you are a Bruce Campbell fan, you will have f un. If not, you'll probably have a good time too. What to See *** "My Best Friend's Girl." This f ilm opens in such a vile and o ffensive m anner that it openly dares you to t urn it o ff. Watching Dane Cook as the cretin lead character Sherman " Tank" Turner, you have to wonder how m ankind has survived. Tank is the foulest, r udest, boisterously s elf-centered, egotist to walk the f ace of the E arth. The f ilm dares you to stick it out, and I took the dare. The s ofter side of this f ilm was captured by the lovely Kate Hudson, in the role of Alexis. Alexis is not p erfect, she is not looking for love, and she is (over)actively being pursued by Dustin, played by Jason Biggs, Tank's cousin and roommate. Alexis has no romantic interest in Dustin at all. Although Dustin pursues heavily, it is to n o avail. It is time to call in Tank, the AntiHitch.Where Witt Smith would train men to be b etter men to win the girl, Tank is the t rain wreck that shows the girl how good her no good b oyfriend is. Nicely done is the typecasting of Alec Baldwin as Tank's father, who is a Professor of Women's Studies at the University. A well played ironic twist. This movie j ust happens to be a rollercoaster ride that delivers a rewarding experience. What to See, if you dare *** "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People," s tarring Simon Pegg.

BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer When the word "guerilla" is heard, it often conjures up images of war, violence, and sabotage. To use it to describe art and performance is not typically what springs to people's minds. However, a student run organization on campus called Dagnabit Productions is looking to change that. This organization is comprised of students who participate in Photos courtesy ofAriette Rosenbaum improvisational presentations. In these showings, they exhibit performance art and illustrations on campus. Their first performance, which took place last Tuesday in the dome, involved the members freezing in place for five f ull minutes at 12:30. Exactly five minutes later, they all began their normal routines once again. While impromptu performances like this may be interesting to watch and also create conversation, why would students do this? "Our goal is to promote performance, art and creativity on campus and to create a sense of community amongst the art students" said Arielle Rosenbaum, the organizer of the group. "We welcome all ideas about how to f urther the arts at CSUSM, from performance and art installations to political statements. Our group is mostly made up of art students, but we welcome students from all majors". With so many students walking around campus Photos courtesy ofArielle Rosenbaum with tunnel vision, why shouldn't things be shaken up a bit? This past Thursday, the group had her baby.

She felt herself shaking, small tremors encasing her body with an overwhelming sense of fear and anticipation. One trembling hand glided down the curve of her back and she arched back into its touch with an equally uneasy sigh. She moaned again as it settled on her hip, Edward's ghostly touch holding her steady. She heard herself moan Edwards name as he pushed into her, hips rising after the sensation, there was no discomfort just a rapid spreading glow. Bella felt the mattress shift as Edward climbed up behind her. Both of Edward's hands gripped Bella's hips, Bella felt the tremors running through Edward's body as he aligned himself. Bella felt an answering shudder in her own as Edward entered her. Bella felt the heat rise in the swell of her back as she pushed to meet Edward, eager and wanting, each met need only igniting a further desire. I've yet to determine whether it is of greater benefit for me to plug unknown musicians or just talk about who I want, famous or otherwise. Should I feel a moral inclination to promote starving artists with indiscernible smidgens of talent to equally starving college students? Well, probably, but what do I care if an album sells? I know I don't need to worry about Ane Brun's album selling. An impromptu trip to Lou's Records in Encinitas delivered a rack promising her latest album, Changing of the Seasons. I should mention that the rack was empty. Ane Brunvoll, better known as Ane Brun, is a Norwegian singer/songwriter and co-founder of DetErMine Records with The Tiny's Ellekari Larsson. She didn't take up music until she was about 21 years old, and she released her debut album, Spending Time with Morgan,fiveyears later in 2003. The album catapulted Brun into the European spotlight, garnering speed as it crossed the Atlantic and landed in America. Not until her third studio release, Changing of the Seasons, in 2008, did eyebrows truly raise across the pond. Photo courtesy ofJosephArthur.com I should be surprised to have seen this bare rack, but I'm not. I know exactly why this independently pressed album's allotment sold out in this little corner of the world. Ane Brun is appealing. She exudes candor like you might see in faces of green musi- cians on the streets playing for anyone who will* listen. But she's good. Think Nick Drake plus Bjork minus the depression and eccentricity. The album'sfirsttrack, "The Treehouse Song," is made of organic acoustics with a tempo guaranteed to induce some head nods. Shallow drums are the foundation for a reserved strum and bassline. Her clean soprano is rich with vibrato and layered harmonies, breathing a story of a lost lover's dream. As simple as Brun's compositions are, they haunt whatever minds they visit until their otherworldly business is finished. I should label Ane Brun as an Indie musician, the kind of musician you casually mention at a show in the hopes of collecting some street cred. I should wonder who bought those albums at Lou's, and if they realized what they bought. So, is she famous? Maybe not, but she should be.

"No Edward, don't stop," Bella forced her muscles to relax, pushed back a little, moaning again as she pressed herself against Edward. Bella smiled and rocked forward onto her knees a little, letting Edward slide from her body before slamming back against her, both of them moaning in tandem. "Don't need gentle," she breathed, arching her back intensifying each slide and thrust. She picked up the pace, rocking herself onto Edward until she felt his hand return to her hip, holding her in place as Edward took over. Edward's other hand stroked up Bella's spine tracing the lines of her back and intertwining themselves in a net of tangled locks. Bella felt her legs buckling as her climax built, low in her pelvis, a warm sensuous flame rising driven on by each relentless thrust inside her, lifting her to greater heights. She heard herself screaming, the headboard snapped under Edward's strength. They collapsed to the bed together and Bella turned in Edward's arms to lay her head in the crook of his neck.

XXI NO. 6 N e w University Student Union to enhance campus life Feedback from students to benefit the final product BY DIANA VALDIVIA Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is a relatively new campus that continues to grow in many aspects. One of the aspects that the university is taking into consideration is the planning and construction of a new student union. The University Student Union is currently located in the Clarke Field House. The overall purpose of a new University Student Union is to strengthen a sense of community and enhance campus life. A new University Student Union would give students a greater space for programming, student centers, student government offices, and gathering spaces. It would also include retail and food services. Last spring, the university conducted survey methods to see how students felt about building a new student union. In more than 1,200 online surveys completed by students, 16 intercept interviews, and focus groups consisting of 51 students: approximately 34% see it as a very high priority for CSUSM to construct a new University Student Union, about 30% think of it as a high priority, and only 3% believed it is a very low priority for CSUSM. Last December, President Haynes approved alternative consultation for the advisory process of building a new University Student Union. Alternative consultation is one of the two options for building a new University Student Union. The other option would be to conduct a referendum. The same month the Student Fee Advisory Committee reviewed the information and a presentation of the concept of building a new University Student Union. The alternative consultation includes a bigger opportunity for students' input. It is currently offering open forums for general student body, faculty, and staff. There are also specific forums for ASI Board of Directors, University Student Union Advisory Board, presidents and treasurers of student organizations, Orientation Team, and Student Affairs Leadership Team. The alternative consultation also includes online forms students can fill out to voice their opinions and give feedback. During the rest of February and versity Student Union Task Force March, the advisory process will Members.

This June, President Haynes will review the report and make afinaldecision. The development of the new University Student Union will be in two phases. Phase I would be around 58,576 sq. ft. and have a price tag of about $50 million. Student fees willfund almost $47 jnillion and more than $3 million will come from vendors. The new building would include ,jpod services such as a coffee shop, dining, a convenience jtore, and three of six fast food con; cepts. It would g|so house conference and meetiiig ìooms, student areas, ASI offices, Student Life and Leadership, the Cross Cultural Center, the Women's Center, the Pride Center, among others. The University Student Union would open fall 2013. The Clarke is almost 34,400 sq ft. The projected building for phase I of the University Student Union would be more than 58,500 sq. ft. Phase II would be more than 85,800 sq. ft. and cost approximately $70 million. Phase II will depend on the availability of funds, the success of Phase I, and third party funding. It would consist of more food services, conference and meeting rooms, student lounges, and student union offices. Other centers in Phase II would include the Veteran's Center and a Commuter Student Center. The existing student union fee of$65 would be used to fundPhase Courtesy of CSUSM Planning, Design & Construction I. In thèfiscalyear 2010/2011 the | r previously approved fee would increase to $80. There are arguments from both sides supporting the fee proposal and against the fee proposal. One of the arguments that support the fee proposal is that this new student union will create opportunities for student employment, campus involvement, and leadership development. Another positive aspect is that it gives the campus more venues to study, and both formal and informal spaces for meeting and dining. Some students argue that they will no longer be at the campus when the University Student Union opens in 2013 and do not see the sense in paying for a building they will not be able to use. Hand adds the students would be able to have a sense of pride, "they are going to able to look back and say 'I contributed to that.'" Quinn explains that it is a great way for students to leave a mark, "it is an opportunity to leave a legacy." A similar situation occurred with the construction of The Clarke when students approved an increase in fees even though they would not use it.

I'll say that Phelps should not become a victim of a modern day witch hunt, but he deserves his punishment. Having won eight gold medals, he thrust himself into the limelight. Essentially, he should be held to higher standards, to a higher creed. Luckily, the Richland Country S herriff's Department concluded that there was not enough evidence to file charges. And I think that to come out and admit his mistake was high in character on his behalf. He should be allowed to attend the 2012 Olympics. Although he screwed up, he does not deserve to be banished from the Olympics. He made us all look brainless to the rest of the world. To Phelps I say, focus on what you do best.

The Dream Act, a bipartisan legislation, will provide a legal path to residency for children of undocumented aliens. The California Faculty Association sponsored an open forum on Thursday, February 12 to a standing room only crowd. The forum, titled Underground Undergrads, featured student speakers from UCLA. Sophia Carranza, a UCLA student/Intern for Underground Undergrads, brought the audience to tears as she told the heartrending story of how she discovered, at age 18, she was not a citizen. Carranza is a member of an ever-growing group of young people who want to become citizens, but are technically illegal aliens subject to deportation. Many of these students hang their hopes on the "Dream Act." Matias Ramos, Intern for UCLA Labor Center, explained that the speakers were undocumented students who were "working to expand awareness of the life of undocumented students and promote passage of the Dream Act. We go to high schools and community colleges and tell students about their opportunities in higher education. We also network with other organizations like Espiritu here at CSUSM." The Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro goal is to provide support and networking opportunities to AB 540 students. Governor Davis signed AB 540, a law that allows undocumented students in California community and state college systems to attend college without paying non-residency fees, in 2001. One requirement of AB 540 is that the student must file an application for residency. "I have been in the process for years... my whole family has been in the process... it just takes so long," Carranza responded when asked about her application status. "Some of my top students are AB 540," said Espiritu faculty advisor Silverio Haro. "[For them] there is no retreat, it is full steam ahead." Ramos hopes that the Dream Act will finally pass with Obama as President. He Tuesday; February said there are many undocumented students and graduates who are just waiting for their chance to become citizens and make a difference. "We consider ourselves Americans," Ramos stated. Public education was established in the 1700s as the primary means to create a more informed and capable citizen who could contribute to the betterment of the country. That is one reason the law mandates people attend school. So if a person completes high school and is in good standing with the law, should that not be sufficient to declare you a citizen? And if you go on to college, and work to improve your community, shouldn't that be sufficient? Why is being bora here the major prerequisite to citizenship?

In a mass e-mail received by much of the student body, CSUSM administration informed everyone that a proposal had been made that the school start offering Army ROTC courses. Like the ROTC programs of many surrounding high schools, military personnel would set classrooms and campus areas aside for pre-military training and education. Some see the ROTC's presence as beneficial to the campus. "The presence of the ROTC means a lot more people on campus, and could bring a lot of potential students to our school" said Joan Anderson, an NWP teacher consultant at Cal State. However, the main problem lies in the military's stance on sexual orientation conflicting with the campus's policy of non-discrimination. In response to this, the school's Academic Senate started a study group to determine students' opinions on the matter. "The goal of the study group is to gauge public opinion and deliberate on the subject; no more, no less," said Don Barrett, the co-chair of the appointed study group. The LBGT group on campus has also taken a neutral stance on this issue. "Because there are so many conflicting opinions between members, we don't have a strong stance ill either direction." Because of the complex issues involved with this conflict of interest, it is hard for many on campus to take a decisive stance. Since Image courtesy ofgoarmy.com CSUSM is such a diverse campus, students who have classes together or work side-by-side are finding it hard to oppose someone who they only disagree with on one issue. While other California State schools like Fullerton and Fresno have ROTC, the fact is that CSUSM is also only a quarter as old as they are. The same goes for other local campuses, like USD, which does not really have this kind of conflict. They are, on paper anyway, a catholic university. SDSU however, has an Army and Navy ROTC program in addition to being a non-discriminatory campus. Could this formula work at CSUSM as well? Whatever decision happens, it will definitely have an effect on campus. Establishing an ROTC program will have conflictions with CSUSM students who want to be a part, but are discriminated against because of the military's policy. On the other side of the coin, however, an ROTC program will bring more students and funding to CSUSM. In addition, it would get our campus one step closer to extinguishing the idea that we are a "commuter school" that is not comparable with the other San Diego college campuses. The decision will ultimately be left up to the student body on whether or not the program will pass. A public forum town hall meeting will take place on February 24 from 12:00 12:50 pm, in Markstein Hall 125. Since it takes place during U-Hour, students will be able to attend this meeting and have the opportunity to make their opinions known. If this issue is believed to be either beneficial or not for the campus, take this chance to make a change.

"Yeah, because it's for more collectiveness of the students, I don't think we have enough going on to get students together, Everyone just comes to class and goes to class.

Bad Religion's frontman, Greg G raffin, may not look like a brain, but underneath his punk rock shell, he is a man of science. The title of his PhD Zoology thesis: "Monism, Atheism and the Naturalist Worldview: Perspectives from Evolutionary Biology," concentrated on prehistoric evolution, with a philosophical emphasis on the dynamics between evolution and religion. G raffin worked as the principal investigator with the Cornell University Evolution Organization (cornellevolutionproject.org). G raffin also challenged his intellect by becoming a professor at UCLA, he taught Life Science 1. "I believe thoughts and ideas are far more long-lived than fashion. Those are the things that I try to inspire young people to do, whether i t is in the lecture hall or o ajstage on the Warped T oui\ ^aid G raffin in an interview for the "Daily Bruin," the UCLA student newspaper. G raffin wasn't only academ,, ically inclined. In the early days of Bad Religion as an unsigned artist, G raffin took a business risk and started his own record label, Epitaph. Epitaph later fathered other great punk bands like The Offspring, Pennywise, NO FX and Rancid that revolutionized the stale punk era of the 1990s. His music endeavors never cramped his academic style, but instead complimented one another. Bad Religion's 13 Album, "Empire Strikes First," took a very serious and political stance on the U.S. government's reactions to 9/11. Graffin's intellectual charm seeps in the song "Let Them E at War." Nerdy glasses and preppy cardigans really must have helped Cuomo Rivers on the east coast in earning his English Degree at prestigious Harvard University. Lead singer of the garage-band Weezer, Rivers graduated in 2006 after intermittently attending Harvard since 1995 (Spin.com). Lead singer for notorious rock band, The Doors, Jim Morrison was a UCLA graduate and enjoyed making short films. He participated in the School of Theater, Film and Television as he earned his Bachelor's in Theatre Arts, according to UCLA's website. ftexter TSoliand, lead singer for the Offspring took a similar route of academics and musical achievements as Bad Religion's Greg G raffin. Holland studied at USC for his bachelor's in biology in 1988, and two years later earned a Master's in Molecular Biology from USC, according to the "Daily Trojan," USC's daily student newspaper. A fter gaining great musical success with the Offspring's debut album, "Smash," on Epitaph, Holland began his own record label Nitro, which features rockers, A.F.I. American Idol winner of 2005, Carrie Underwood was the f irst country star to come from the hit show. Underwood left to audition for American Idol with only three units left to graduate. She went back to school a year later and completed her degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Journalism, according to People magazine. Brian May, guitarist from the band Queen, studied astrophysics at Imperial College in London, and a fter Queen's great music success, May went back to finish up his PhD in astrophysics. The title of his thesis is "A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud." In 2007, May became the chancellor of Liverpool's John Moores University, according to LJMU website.

Lisa Dickinson, Fitness and Wellness Coordinator, says the goal of the program is to help individuals meet their fitness goals and to provide a service to the campus community in a familiar environment. "The student-centered program allows for an excellent work experience opportunity for new and entry-level personal trainers to build their professional skill set while working on campus," Dickinson said. The program consists of three Cal State San Marcos students who are nationally certified personal trainers and Kinesiology majors. Dickinson added that the program plans to add more trainers in the future. Membership in the program requires that students are members of the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union as well as the price of the personal training session or package. Current matriculated students are automatically members after paying the university, student union fee when tuition is paid. Others, such m ^ ^ m y ^ m f f ; and alumni can be members once they pay a membership fee. The membership fee changes depending on the method of payment and membership type. Once a member, enrollment in the program requires students to sign up by completing a series of forms, such as a contract and health questionnaire, an initial consultation with the personal trainer, and payment for the sessions or package. Information about the program, including forms, personal trainer profiles, and the fee schedule can be found at http://www.csusm.edu/ theclarke/clarkept/rates.html. Gracie DelMar, a current student at Cal State San Marcos, had her first personal training session and consultation on February 3. DelMar said this was her first experience having a personal training session because "it's too expensive" in other gyms she has visited. The motivation factor and flexibility of the trainer's schedules is one of the additional benefits of the program, DelMar said. Since the personal trainers are also students, their schedules of availability vary. The Clarke Field House/University Student Union is open as late as 10 p.m. on most weeknights, convenient for those students who may want to train late after classp^IMMar added that sh£ is haf personal trainer Weston. "He has helped me with my form, and shown me how to exercise properly and taken into consideration my goals and helping me work towards those goals," said DelMar. Cal State University San Marcos student Weston Ryan is a kinesiology major with an emphasis in pre-physical therapy, and certified personal trainer. Kinesiology is the study of human movement and the major at CSUSM includes four concentrations to choose from. Ryan is a freshman who passed his certified personal trainer exam with the National Exercise Trainer's Association (NETA) in the fall of 2008. Although only a freshmen, Ryan is very involved on campus. He is a member of CSUSM's Track and Field, the Cross Country Team, recently pledged to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and aspires to be a physical therapist in the future. Ryan's inspiration for what he does is helping others and contributing to their health and fitness success. "Most important is being able to help people and improve the lives of others," Ryan said. Ryan sees the new Certified Personal Training Program at CSUSM as a great benefit. The flexible hours, state-of-the-art facility, experienced mentors, and the ability to develop professionally are some of the reasons that the program is so great, Ryan explained.

The drinks have varied flavors (the Arnold Palmer is a favorite), are relatively cheap (99 cents for a tall can), and taste a lot less terrible than Powerade. The gimmick ofthe Arizona Beverage company (ironically located in New York and Canada) is that its teas offer a healthy alternative to sodas and contain the all-important buzzword: "antioxidants." While it is true that some teas contain antioxidants that can help prevent certain cancers, technically McDonald's can make the same claim with the tomatoes it puts on its Big Macs. Passing by the usual flavors, the Arizona RX Stress Herbal Iced tea is a little bit harder to find. The unique faded labeling makes the bottles stand out, making them seem more like bottles of oldtimey snake oil than the usual sugar water. The label claims that it is a "refreshing all-natural tonic" but also advises, "This product is a food, not a drug," which seems to be strange claim for a bottled liquid to make. The liquid itself has a dark amber coloration with the consistency of whiskey or apple juice. This was in stark contrast to the bright yellow color of the RX Energy tea, which was, quite frankly, terrifying. The RX drinks (Stress and Herbal) are the only two herbal teas Arizona offers. The main differences between these and the regular teas is that they have significantly less sugar (a 15 gram difference) and instead of having 100% Vitamin C, contain 25% of your daily value of vitamins B6 and B12. In addition, this drink is caffeinefree, which in itself is a miracle to find in almost any other liquid (even water). While drinking, the tea tastes like a balanced battle between the two main ingredients, black tea and green tea. The black tea is definitely present, but the green tea rounds it out with sweetness before a bitter taste is detected. The thing particularly nice about this tea is that it has more the consistency of real teas, and is less syrupy than the regular Arizonas. So, will the RX Stress relieve stress? Perhaps, if being really thirsty stresses you out more than anything. However, in comparison to other drinks that are packed with sugar, caffeine, and bogus supplements, it is the better choice. Containing calming tea ingredients like chamomile and ginseng, it will help you a lot better after a long day of classes than chugging a Monster will. So if you are looking for a refreshing beverage, pick it up. It will not, however, cure your sinus infection. C ougar Kitchen Eat o f the w eek The W orld's Easiest The Money Pit BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer The Money Pit is a new drivethru restaurant in San Marcos. Located on the corner of Mission and Bennett Ave a few miles east of CSUSM, it is short trip, even by bike or walking. The owner, Demetri Kellafinos, took over a long deserted bank and turned it into a family run restaurant. Demetri and his son Artemios, 'Arte', built the Money Pit themselves. "We put in every nail, screw, and tile," Arte said. The Money Pit first opened in December 2008, employing about 25 workers. Their motto is "We don't cook the food till you order it." All of the food is prepared in-house and made fresh. The menu runs the gamut from breakfast foods, to burgers, sandwiches, and salads. There is also ice cream and pastries for the sweet tooth. The chocolate shake is thick and chocolaty. Their prices are well within the starving student budget with a full meal available for under $6.00. "We wanted the food to be affordable," Arte said. The whole project speaks to ingenuity and hard work. Arte points out that the tile floor is all recycled tile from the bank or discarded tile chips from local tile stores. The décor is a collage of pictures,filmposters, and real money from the US and other countries as well as monopoly money and poker chips. The old vault door is center stage, with the vault now used for dry storage. Almost all of the film posters refer to money in some fashion: Fist Full of Dollars, The Bank Job, Oceans 11 and others. On the ceiling over the cashier's counter is $250 worth of pennies, "each one of which I put up there with glue," Arte recalled with a slight grimace. The wood tables and benches all have some kind of money under glass. On one table is an old monopoly set that Arte said they used to play with as kids. "We emptied out our garage and shopped the swap meets collecting old automobile James B. Beam Distilling Co. distills and bottles Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey in Frankfort, Kentucky. Over 200 years ago, the German Boehm family migrated to early America. Through the years the distillery business remained in the family lineage. Officially, the company sold their distillery in 1920 as Prohibition began. In 1933, when Prohibition ended, the company built a new distillery. In 1946, Jim Beam became a global brand. In 2007, Fred Noe III, the founder Jacob Beam's greatgreat-great-great- grandson, took ownership. I'm going to break the third person mode for this article. I know it's tasteless, but this is a tasty treat that my brother and I created two years ago. My brother had recently moved back to California after having lived in Georgia for two years. We were and are very close. Needless to say, when he returned we had a lot of catching up to do. One night we were rummaging through the kitchen. We had a bottle of Jim Beam and some Dr. Pepper. Having grown up with our dad taking oversized jumbo cups of Dr. Pepper to work every day, we had to carry the tradition by always having Dr. Pepper in the home. I broke family tradition and became a Diet Coke drinker but that story is for another time. We can't recall who actually created it. We kind of just looked at each other without saying words. Our inner consciences were talking. He grabbed the Jim Beam, and I the Dr. Pepper. We nicknamed the drink "The Beamer." The rest is Thompson history. To create the pleasantly sweet tasting beverage, fill a cup with three fourths of ice. Add one ounce of Jim Beam per half cup of Dr. Pepper. Let the foam dissipate before enjoying. Try it with Diet Dr. Pepper for fewer calories or switch out Dr. Pepper for Diet Coke and enjoy a "Creamer." For extra pizzazz, add a few slices of peach without the skin for an extravagant delight If serving more than one, refer to them as "The Beam Team." With any alcohol infused occasion exercise caution and license plates and other odds and ends." The Pit appeals to young and old alike with its good food, low prices, interesting décor, and music from the 60s and 70s. Patrons say they like the food, the atmosphere, and easy access with seating inside and out. Demetri came to the US in 1974 from Greece as an undocumented alien. He has worked in the restaurant business for years. His latest dream began to take shape toward the end of 2007 when he finally acquired the old bank. With a year in the planning and getting licensing, and several months rehabilitating the interior, Arte says, "It's nice to see things finally get going and making money."

The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility. CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usu/) designed to be both educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes. Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas. The open student forums are scheduled as follows: th • February 25,2009 in the Clarke Field House, Room 113, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. • March 12,2009 in Markstein Hall, Room 125, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. Free pizza will be served!

She didn't take up music until she was about 21 years old, and she released her debut album, Spending Time with Morgan, five years later in 2003. The album catapulted Brun into the European spotlight, garnering speed as it crossed the Atlantic and landed in America. Not until her third studio release, Changing of the Seasons, in 2008, did eyebrows truly raise across the pond. I should be surprised to have seen this bare rack, but I'm not. I know exactly why this independently pressed album's allotment sold out in this little corner of the world. Ane Brun is appealing. She exudes candor like you might see in faces of green musicians on the streets playing for anyone who will listen. But she's good. Think Nick Drake plus Bjork minus the depression and eccentricity. The album's first track, "The Treehouse Song," is made of organic acoustics with a tempo guaranteed to induce some head nods. Shallow drums are the foundation for a reserved strum and bassline. Her clean soprano is rich with vibrato and layered harmo- nies, breathing a story of a lost lover's dream. As simple as Brun's compositions are, they haunt whatever minds they visit until their otherworldly business is finished. I should label Ane Brun as an Indie musician, the kind of musician you casually mention at a show in the hopes of collecting some street cred. I should wonder who bought those albums at Lou's, and if they realized what they bought. So, is she famous? Maybe not, but she should be. Twilight: A N ight Beneath the Midnight Sun Part 2 : Bella's Perspective BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer "Off," Bella heard the words escape her mouth; surprised by the authority of her own voice. "I'm not afraid," Edward breathed, moving Bella's hands to his shirtfront, careful to graze his buttons with her fingertips. "I want you Bella, I want all of you." Bella felt her breath increase, her pulse race, and her thoughts scatter like vapor. She watched Edward peel off his shirt, revealing a torso of immortalized stone - a perfect taut body all dusted with fine, bronze hair in all the right places. Bella watched the last rays of twilight hit Edward's alabaster skin. He glittered, briefly, the soft diamond reflections danced wildly around him before dissipating into the darkness. "I love you Bella," Edward whispered, his voice sending chills down Bella's neck. Then they kissed again; less desperate this time, gentle and exploring. Bella arched up onto her toes, her body rising with passion. She pushed her hands into Edward's chest, fingers spread to touch as much of him as she possible. When the kiss broke Bella started to mouth a path down Edward's body, cataloguing every contour of his flawless physique. She scraped a fingernail over a tiny erect nipple, evoking a gasp of pleasure that made Edward shudder aloud. Then she moved her mouth across his chest using her tongue expertly, teasing the soft strands of hair there. Bella felt Edward's strong hands ripping her clothes off, she heard herself sighing his name as he ripped apart what remained of Her clothing and his own. There they stood motionless, heat emanating from their tense bodies. "I love you Edward," she answered finally, as the couple descended onto a bed that smelled distinctly of Edward Cullen, a kind of aromatic masculinity. Edward's lips were full and strong, alternately nudging and tugging on Bella's lower lip. Edward's tongue, tentative atfirst,was sliding deep into Bella's mouth. "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," he whispered, drawing shudders of pleasure from Bella from both his words and the ghostly touches of his fingertips as the skated across her inner thighs. Bella answered back with a deep kiss, pressing Edward deeper into the bed and into a sea of pillows. She licked a long wet path up Edward's inner thigh, smiling to herself at the gasps from above. She couldn't wait any more, couldn't tease, unable to draw out the anticipatory phase. She heard Edward's sharp intake of breath as she moved in. Hands clumsily found her head, tangling themselves in her hair as she started to move, encouraging but never overwhelming her motions. She felt him tremble below her, his body moving involuntarily. Bella felt the hands in her hair tighten and knew Edward was close. Then she realized that Edward's hands weren't tightening in her hair, they were trying to pull her away. Bella complied, moving away to meet his gaze. "Not yet..." Edward whispered moving above her. As the words left his lips Bella couldn't help but notice the tiny foil square between his fingers, and the devilish grin painted across Edward's face. CALLING ALL WRITERS!

Brakebill Distinguished Professor Award, the highest award the university can present to a professor. Jorjani is a professor of the Department of Information Systems and Operations Management in the College of Buisness Administration. CSUSM President Karen Haynes awarded Jorjani based upon recommendation of the Faculty Awards Committee. In a letter from the President, Haynes states, "Dr. Joijani exemplifies the true spirit of the Brakebill Award; she is an extraordinary faculty member who has made outstanding contributions to her students, to her academic discipline, and to our campus community. In every aspect of her 16-year career at Cal State San Marcos, she has shown tremendous dedication to academic excellence, and she has been an inspiration to her students and her colleagues alike."

There seems to be no reason involved in naming a film 'American.' For example, in 2006, they awarded United 93 as one of the bestfilmsof the year. Yet, a British director, Paul Greengrass, made it. This year they awarded The Lord of the Rings as one of the best fantasyfilms,but American Peter Jackson made it in New Zealand. Therefore, it must not be the director or location. This works until one considers The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It was set in America and stars film star Clint Eastwood, and directed by Italian Sergio Leone.

In a nationalfinancialcrisis, secure jobs are scarce and the importance of higher education becomes a sought-after valued asset. Refusing eligible students in these times seems cruel and heartless.

Science labs were cut even when the class was already full and had wait listed students. Overall, fewer classes are offered, making it very difficult for graduating seniors to complete their last units. A recent rumor has been mentioned that the number of faculty copiers has been limited, urging teachers to tell their students to print out class handouts at home rather than having teachers provide them in class. Adapting to these changes is a necessity for the success of current students, but I believe a financial reform is needed before the refusing admittance to eligible, ambitious students. Farewell from the Managing Editor BY BEN ROFFEE Managing Editor Dear Readers, As we approach the end of the semester and the Pride's operations wind to a close, we are called upon to reflect on the events and stories that have come to define this past semester. In just a few short months, our country seemed in quite a rush to make history and CSUSM definitely acted in part. Over the course of this brief span of time I have had the distinct honor and privilege of being a part of a team dedicated to reporting on this historic period through the perspective of a college campus. Even with all of the passion for journalism in the world, it is impossible to have a successful paper without chemistry in the newsroom. The editors and staff here at the Pride are as much my colleagues as they are my friends, and without their support and comical distractions I doubt I could have ever kept my sanity. There is no other group of people I can think of that I 'd rather spend the countless frustrated and weary hours with than with thè people I've been fortunate to call my coworkers for the last year and a half. Their tireless dedication to keeping this ship afloat deserves much more thanks than I can give and should command the respect of all of you. A special thanks goes out to Viri, who filled some big shoes and taught me more than I could ever want to know about this craft. It is likely that I wont serve as an editor, but you can still expect to see me floating around the Pride. See you next semester, CSUSM.

The team currently in second place in the Lakers division, behind the Lakers, is the Phoenix Suns. They'll fade. They made a bad trade for an aging Shaquille O'Neal and they don't match up well with the Lakers.

Though the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the NBA finals last season, I don't foresee that happening again. The Celtics remain very impressive and have a star-studded roster themselves, but the Lakers trump card is Bryant. Yes, he did play in the finals last year when the Celtics won, but he was crippled by injuries and has since had surgery to remedy his ailments. He is much healthier now and, barring injury, will prove again that he is unstoppable at full strength. Due to their impressive team, lack of competition and possessing the best individual player in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers will overwhelm the NBA this season. Their nearly flawless start to the season is proof of their superiority. Have they played weak opponents? No, so far they have simply dominated what is a mostly mediocre league.

President Haynes is very the last forum in October. "The purpose of the event is to good about answering questions give faculty members a chance or commenting on concerns. If she to address the president with any doesn't know the answer, she'll question, concern, or sugges- make a note to find out the infor- mation and get back to the faculty with it," said McDaniel. "Sometimes faculty need to express frustration, confusion, and even anger about something." The financial crisis' impact on the California State University budget aims to be an important topic of discussion in the faculty open forum. "A good example is the current budget situation. The open forum is an invitation to express whatever you want to the president. She needs and wants to hear from faculty. It helps her to see the faculty's perspective, which may well be different from her own as the chief administrator of the campus. It also allows faculty to hear the administrator's perspective. So it can be a great two-way learning experience," said McDaniel. McDaniel also encourages faculty to attend the faculty open forum. "No question is too big or too small." He then explained the long and tedious process of creating the organization. Guest speaker Chief Information Officer Wayne Veres followed Morris. "Everything is changing. Sometimes I dread or enjoy this part of my career," said Veres. Veres then gave a brief history of the Information Technology at CSUSM including the school's first three computers nicknamed, Liberty, Justice, and Freedom. One student asked Veres what some of the hot IT sectors that students should consider. " That's a good question. This online offline thing is a good thing. I think [Enterprise Resource Planning] systems...I hate them even though I shouldn't say it because the CSU system has invested heavily on it are not the way to go.

"Get to know the faculty. There are only seven MIS f aculty members and each of them should be able to call you by your first name," said Leu. He then explained MIS major requirements and other CoBA related statistics. The meeting ended with a raffle. The r affle included an iPod, external hard drive enclosure, laptop c arrying bags, and even a woman's purse that several male students politely declined. "MIS Society is a bridge to link MIS majors to potential employers and will be good for our school," said Senior Business Major Wei Ming Lin. From FORUM, page 1 From MIS, page 1 of CSUSM.

Vegetarian holidays can make for a new healthy holiday tradition BY SANDRA CHALMERS Pride Staff Writer Some of the best things about t he holidays are family, g ifts and food, but for others the traditional meal of turkey with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce may not be the desired mouth watering festive meal for the holidays. Vegetarians are transforming an ancient pilgrim inspired meal into a newborn culinary delight with new creative dishes that offer health perks. And in a society prone to obesity and hypertension, maybe a break f rom the heavy cholesterol meats for the holidays can be a wise step toward a healthier lifestyle. Vegetarians do not eat any meat products such as chicken, beef, or pork but do consume dairy products, not to be confused with vegans that do not eat any animal products such as eggs, cheese or milk. During the holiday season, a dinner without turkey or a ham can seem bleak but a vegetarian holiday dinner offers great meat alternatives that any family can enjoy. Carrie Kressor, a Kinesiology major, has been a vegetarian her entire life, "I choose to do it for health reasons and it is more beneficial for the environment, I personally don't liking thinking about eating a dead animal." A popular turkey substitute for vegetarians is tofurkey, a faux turkey made of t ofu often breaded with a vegetarian stuff- ing of vegetables and whole grains. "We do have tofurkey but I personally don't like it that much. But we always have a ton of different casseroles and yummy recipes and of course we have the traditional cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie," Kressor said. "Some of my family is actually vegetarians as well, but the majority are not. When we get together there really aren't any problems, they have their turkey, but we always have casseroles and other dishes that we can eat. It's still like anybody else's Thanksgiving...I just simply don't eat the meat." Incorporating the vegetables of the season, like squash and pumpkin, as main ingredients for side dishes or casseroles allows for creative alternatives to the traditional holiday sides. "Thinking about all of the turkey disasters I've heard about definitely makes me think that preparing several casseroles is much easier than cooking a turkey for hours," Kressor said. According to an article in FDA Consumer, data strongly shows that vegetarians are at a lesser risk for obesity, lung cancer, and alcoholism. There is also evidence that risk for hypertension, coronary artery disease, type II diabetes and gallstones are significantly lower. The USDA dietary guidelines for Americans states; "Most Americans of all ages eat fewer than the recommended numbers of serving of grain products, vegetables, and f ruits even though consumption of these foods is associated with a substantially lower risk for chronic diseases, including certain types of cancer." So when many are dreading the thought of consuming high calorie foods or high cholesterol foods, maybe a vegetarian dinner for the holidays can be a health alternative to keep the holiday weight off. Jimbo's, Trader Joe's and even Costco now carry more vegetarian food that is great tasting and isn't too pricey.

Photo by Kelly Corrigan My friends stuck to the Chinese entryway directly across the way. After several unrecognizable but thrilled American athletes walked by, the men's basketball team appeared. There was Kobe with Jason Kidd, LeBron James and everyone else. Then the women's basketball team appeared. Having played basketball in high school, Lisa Leslie is my hero. Seeing Kobe was exciting enough, then she walked up the stairs. "Lisa. Lisa!" I shouted. She looked and I was stunned. She smiled and kind of laughed then asked me how I was. "Good!" I said. "Good luck!" To see Lisa and Kobe within moments of each other was incredible. Meanwhile, people from every nation competing in the Games began to accumulate. My Chinese friends on the opposite end of the stadium greeted, and in some cases touched and took pictures with, the Chinese athletes. I staggered in and out of the line of people, going around the stadium seven or eight times, until the announcing voice had called every nation's name and the line was ready, making its way to the Bird's Nest. Later that night, my Chinese friends and I discussed how unprepared we were for that experience. When we woke up that morning, we thought we'd be watching the ceremony on television and then we saw it happen. Of our two-month stay in Beijing, and the two weeks spent walking among the best athletes in the world while witnessing journalists pursue stories, that night in the NIS was euphoric beyond the word's own meaning.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The Lagunitas Brewing Company brews and bottles their seasonal Brown Shugga' in Petaluma, California. Tony Magee founded the brewery in 1993 in Lagunitas, California. Like most start up breweries, the company outgrew available capacity and moved to Petaluma. Currently, the company distributes brew throughout 20 states. The brewery only uses water, hops, yeast, and malted barley to produce batches of beer. BevMo retails six 12 fluid ounce bottles of Brown Shugga' for $9.99. A cream, red, green, and surprisingly black color comprise the packaging. The cardboard container features a dog and mistletoe. The bottles contain Jg almost the same imaging.

The ale leaves a thick coating of wholesome goodness before descending below deck. The beer's boldness should pair well with spicy and flavorful foods. "It's got a little bit of sourness to it.

Right as one walks in the door, the two pie cases are visible, including the traditional turning glass style. They have a wide variety of fruit and cream pies priced whole and by the slice. Though they are all tasty, be sure to ask which are the freshest. Though it may not be the most gourmet food at Debbie's Restaurant and Pie Shop, the customers keep coming back for the restaurant's quality food and excellent service. The food is well done and the prices are fair. Debbie's is a great place to go for a taste of home and a quick bite that will not cost too * much. Debbie's Restaurant and Pie Shop is located on Nordahl Drive iñ San Marcos acrossfromthe Wal-Mart Plaza. The restaurant is in a tight spot in a strip mall with window's boasting festive décor. It is only a few minutes from campus and worth the short drive for diner and home-style meals. Though it looks unimpressive from the outside, inside Debbie's is afineplace to eat. The inside is tan and pale and there is not a great amount of room. They also cater to an older crowd, as seen in their early bird specials and senior's menu. Yet, despite what looks like an unassuming place to eat, the food at Debbie's is fantastic. They serve a mix of diner and home-style food all day long. Though they have limited hours, the food is a great value any time of the day. First, breakfast classics donerightstock the menu. Diners can enjoy a selection of combo plates or omelets that are very tasty. The hash browns are perfectly crisp and flavorful and go good with any of the morning meals served all day.

T HOMPSON Countless essays and theses have b een written about Orson Wells' "Citizen Kane." Many filmmakers and critics consider it the best movie ever made. Yet, at almost 70-years-old, one may wonder if it still has the same potency. I find that many people have not seen the film, even though they are aware of its reputation. This raises the question of if it has lost impact since aging. Before people p ass judgment on the film, they should at least first see the film. Sadly, p art of the reason people hesitate to see "Citizen K ane" is because they are hung up on the fact that it is so old and in black and white. O ur generation is miss- OPINION Potency of Citizen Kane KjruyiKJiy ing brilliant films because they cannot get around the f act that they are in black and white. "Citizen K ane" has lost appeal to most youth, besides those passionate about films. This is because they may not understand the art and significance of the film. Director Orson Wells revolutionized the industry with this film. First, the storyline of the film advanced the uses of narrative elements in a film. The non-linear story has bearings on all the films before it. Examples of movies using such intelligent narrative elements are rare. A s well, cinematography was highly influenced by Wells. This film did for movies what The Beatles did for popular music. "Citizen K ane" took the daring first step and masterfully used specially angled shots, f raming, and r eframing. T H E PRIDE The only way t o appreciate f ully the film is to consider and see movies made before and a fter it. Wells was ahead of his t ime and the repercussions his work are seen in modern films. Yet, now most people fail t o notice his contribution and see "Citizen K ane " Viewers should forget that it is black and white, old, and h as a great amount of pretension attached to it. It is highly engaging in both narrative and style. Everyone should see t his film. Image courtesy of einestages. Spiegel, de I 'll take it as a challenge This isn't political g roups.

The scenery with the limestone karsts or "jade hairpin mountains" as the Chinese call them are only p art of the mystical nature of this area. For along with the magnificent scenery, there is a subversive sense of calm. And while in Guilin this past June I experienced a feeling, rather a necessity to quiet myself so as not disturb the underlying reverent spirit of the region. Located in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi, about a three hour flight from Shanghai, Guilin is one of China's most prosperous cities and is considered one of China's star attractions. Driving around the area of Guilin is like taking a step into the past. Villages consist of homes that appear to be centuries old, water buffalo roam the area and often walk in herds on the road blocking traffic. Rice farmers out on the paddies plowing through the mud behind a water b uffalo have an eerily historical feature to them as their image mimics the exact posture in the thousands of p aintings c re- ated in the past of farmers performing the same task centuries ago. The mystical awe of Guilin is not j ust a personal feeling. There is truly a sense of the spiritual here on a social level. At the Reed Flute Cave, outside the city of Guilin, our guide told us a story about how men used to carve the reeds growing in the area into flutes and played songs to call out the fairies from the cave. The cave itself is an attraction that cannot be missed. Not only do the Chinese strategically light the inside of the cave to highlight the fantastic stone creations in brilliant colors, they also provide creative names to each stone feature, such as the Crystal Palace, Dragon Pagoda, the Lion, and the Turtle and include fairy tales as well. The lighting, the names and the stories all add to the mystery §f the cave. An underground lake in the cave spurred a western story in my mind. The still lake reflecting the ceiling of the cave like a mirror in the near dark, took my mind to the scene in J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit" where Bilbo Baggins meets Golum and finds Golum's lost ring. At any moment I expected Golum to creep out of the shadows looking for his "precioussss." Of course the main attraction in Guilin is the Li River cruise. The cruise allows visi- karsts closer and view life along the river with roaming water buffalo, fishing cormorants lined up on bamboo docks, fisherman and river vendors rowing around on bamboo rafts. Lasting a total of four hours, the cruise departs Guilin, arrives in Yangshou. Visitors enjoy a view of the karsts which the Chinese have named appropriately for their remarkable images, such as the Elephant Trunk Rock, Snail, Hill, Yearning for Husband Rock as well as the view of the Li River which is on the back of the 20 Yuan bill. A buffet is served on the cruise; however, the crowing point of lunch was the snake wine which waitresses offered guests. In bottles of clear alcohol lay two or three floating, coiled snakes, much like the worm in Mexican tequila. A regional traditional drink after meals, snake wine supposedly also maintains a medicinal quality as well. Those who tried the wine said it tasted like tequila with scales. A fter the cruise we had a short time in Yangshou at the market. Yangshou is a delightful little townsurrounded by equisite scenery and busy streets. I'd that visitors can take bicycle tours of Yangshou, which would provide a wonderful way to connect and appreciate the area. We were given a chance to the Guilin Teacher's University which is one of the foremost art this university to purchase such pieces. The prices are reasonable Photos courtesy ofEllie Yambrach academies of China. A professor demonstrated the creation of a charcoal painting and we were then allowed to view artworks being worked on by students. Afterwards we went to the gallery where we could purchase artworks created by students who graduated and are now considered as artists in their own rite and works painted by the university professors. Anyone interested in traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy, should consider and visitors purchases f und the university directly. Guilin cannot be missed on a trip to China. Although you feel as though you are in Dr. Seussland amongst the fantastic scenery, the tranquil setting inspires visitors to slow down and appreciate their surroundings with a reverence. Note: take an extra battery for your camera while on the cruise, I used mine up within two hours as I could not stop taking photos of everything.

FEATURES THE PRIDE The worst things on the Web From inmate personals to dancing hamsters, the Web has host of thigns that never should have been created BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor Hampsterdance.com Hamsterdance.com is a spinoff of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and the Web site is home to music by Hampton Hamster and his three friends and band mates. The site features profiles of the four hamsters in the band and has music videos featuring dozens of dancing hamsters. Probably the most disturbing part of this Web site, other than the fact that it exists at all, is the number of people who actually have discussions on the discussion board, which includes discussion threads on various topics including the music, the four hamsters and gossip surrounding Animated dancing and singing hamsters create a website you'll want to forget the band. How is it even possible to have gossip on a band com- prised of animated hamsters? Other features of the Web site include e-cards featuring the hamsters that visitors can send to one another, hamster games and hamster polls where fans can vote on which hamster is their favorite. The site also features a hamster heroes section. The site recognizes John Kerrey as a hamster hero for saving his daughters hamster when it fell into the ocean. It also recognizes firefighter Bob Putney, Jr., not for saving nine people from a blaze in Napa Valley, but for saving the families pet hamster, which required mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. In all, the site is little more than a joke, which only serves to entertain the very young. Be warned, if you decide to visit this site don't forget your earplugs. Ikissyou.org Ikissyou.org is Mahir Cagri's personal Web site. He designed the Web site in 1999 and it became a quick success that, for some unknown reason, still exists. When visiting the site, the first thing seen is "This is my page... Welcome to my home page!!! I kiss you!!!" followed by pictures of Cagri.

Women's Soccer, ranked #2, blew out #4 Embry-Riddle 6-0 and then defeated first-seeded Simon-Fraser in a 0-0 tie that would be won 7-6 in penalty kicks to win the championship. 1 "It's playofftime," said CSUSM Head Coach Ron Pulvers, after their most dominant victory of the season over Embry-Riddle.

This piece h as become a tradition in the Bond f ranchise and a film icon. Filmmakers have played with this before, but never outright removed it. This is the first of a few grieves with the average new Bond film. A fter the incredible success of "Casino Royale" in 2006, expectations were high for the next James Bond film. " Quantum of Solace" takes place right a fter the end of "Casino Royale," but there is a definitive drop in the quality between the two. " Quantum" is c ertainly a watchable and e ntertaining action movie. Daniel Craig r eturns as James Bond, whose mission is to track down members of an international organization responsible f or the death of his love, Vesper Lynd, in the previous movie. He walks the fine line of doing h is j ob and exacting revenge. A fter an opening car chase, the action leads to a global race around the world. Along the way, Bond meets Camille, a Bolivian secret agent, played by Olga R urylenko, who has a vengeance plan of her own. Both find they are chasing an environmentalist named Dominic Greene, played by Mathieu A malric, to get what they want. They j oin up to get what they want and stop Greene's devious plan involving oil supplies. There are several inspired moments of this film. First time Bond director, Marc Foster, did a f air j ob. There are two shots involving f alling o ff a bell tower and the other of a motorcycle j ump onto a boat that are awesome. Yet, along the way, the story s tarts tripping over itself. For a very simple story of revenge, the plot is harder to follow than necessary. Viewers can get it the first t ime t hrough if they pay attention, otherwise some may need a second to u nderstand it. The story also s uffered because it was fighting with itself over direction. It kept fighting b etween being a spy drama and an action movie. W hile being an e ntertaining film, it is disappointing " Quantum" did not meet up to the standards of " Casino Royale." It did have the same g ritty intensity and unpredictability. This p erpetuates a tradition in the Bond f ranchise s tarted by Roger Moore. A fter a good first film with a new actor as Bond, the following film is always weaker. " Quantum" missed the mark, but is worth watching. Image courtesy of007.com Winterbraun A cool treat for the ending summer BY JONATHAN E.

Student Spotlight: Grace Riehman CSUSM Visual Performing Arts student photographer BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A&E Editor Grace Riehman is a Visual and Performing Arts student at CSUM. Her emphasis in the VPA major is on Visual A rt focusing on photography. As a child, Riehman observed the world "differently" and expressed her vision through drawing and writing. Last year when her father gave her an old manual camera, she transitioned her focus to photography. Riehman's uses extreme close up photography to, "entice the viewer to really look at each element in the photograph." The closer the image, the more abstract it appears and to Riehman, that is the goal. She says, "I like for people to really think about what it is I'm doing, keep them trying to figure out what they are seeing or witnessing." She is currently scheduled to graduate in the spring of 2009. A fter graduation, Riehman hopes to earn a living through her art and eventually start a non-profit art center for children. In a time where most public schools do not offer art programs Riehman hopes to b e able to establish art centers for young people. Rieh- man says, "My main goal is to give back to the community." Riehman believes that art is important because of its ingenuity and variety. Riehman says, "Nothing is the same for each artist has their own perspective, their own point of view." She shies away f rom using methods to produce her work and looks at photography as a way to, "document her point of view." For Riehman, art is an evolutionary process. It is constantly transforming expression continuing to open up opportunities for new mediums of articulation. She anticipates having a website functioning in the near f uture for people to view her work. Riehman's goal for her artwork is to inspire people to, "slow down and enjoy" her work hoping her viewers will "keep thinking." �A&E Self-Serve frozen yogurt takes over San Marcos THE PRIDE . .. _ In 2 008, f our s elf-serve f rozen y ogurt shops opened w ithin f ive m iles of CSU San M arcos.

Nov. 13,2008 - A very special free screening of the Invisible Children documentary "GO" was open to CSUSM students and the public at the Clark Field house. Sponsored by University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), Invisible Children was created by three young filmmakers in 2003 that were inspired to tell the story of the unseen war of northern Uganda and its lethal effects on the children living in the midst of danger and tragedy through film media. The documentary was screened twice throughout the evening and the room was full both times. "Approximately 60 people showed up to the first screening," said David McFarland, a sophomore at CSUSM. McFarland, organized the event and made comfortable accommodations for the students in attendance by providing popcorn and drinks. The documentary "GO" is considered a sequel to the original Invisible Children documentary. "GO" was a reaction of what has happened since the first documentary was produced: it follows the Invisible Children movement that has touched America and shows what is now being done to help the children of northern Uganda. Through the organization called Schools for Schools, "GO" showed how high school teenagers across the country have been raising money and awareness for the Invisible Children cause. Three high school kids, who displayed exceptional leadership for the Invisible Children cause, were given the chance to travel to northern Uganda to help build schools that were lost from the devastating effects of war. "GO" follows the experiences of these teenager on their trip to northern Uganda and how deeply influenced they were by the children they met. "GO" shows the importance of donations and help the children in northern Uganda need, and how much they appreciate the help that they have already received. The Invisible Children sponsors were four full-time volunteers that have been on a 10-week tour across Calif, and parts of Hawaii to visit other college campuses to screen the documentary. By Bill Rhein /Pride Staff Writer "TROPIC THUNDER55 of the four v olunteers. "We are just wrapping up our tour, this is week 10," he continued. The . passion and dedication these young volunteers have for Invisible Children was clearly genuine and seemed to be easily contagious to the audience after viewing the documentary. "What we want for you to get from the film is to believe that you can change the things you want for the world, not just to feel sorry for the kids you see in the movie," said Timmy Harris, another volunteer. The documentary screening not only attracted CSUSM students but also Caileen Brandt, a freshman from Palomar College. "I have such a heart for Africa and I have wanted to go there and help since I was little," said Brandt. She also mentioned that her sister is a resident advisor at the University Village Apartments at CSUSM and has gone to Africa twice. "I would love to be a teacher in eastern Africa, and teach children that really want to learn," said Brandt. Invisible Children has also gained exposure from the help of the Oprah Winfrey show, where the original three filmmakers were guests. Popular bands such as Thrice, Circa Survive and Switchfoot have sponsored Invisible Children's cause. "WALL-E55 GRADE: A ¡This was the best film of the summer of 2008.

The event aims to "inspire Southern Californians to get ready for big earthquakes and to prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes," according to the Earthquake Country Alliance. A massive earthquake estimated at a magnitude 7.8 struck San Francisco in 1906 killing over 700 people. The fire that ensued resulted in the deaths an estimated 2,700 people.

"It's hard to get guys to compete in a pageant, so we have to have the girls go out and find them," she said. "Guys are a bit more nervous about the talent part of the show but everyone should realize that this is about having fun and being involved." Last year's Mr. Alpha Chi winner Francis Yambao admits at first he was not too sure he would compete, but said he is glad he decided to do it.

What to see around the Alps Germany> Austria and Northern Italy provide a mix of amazing scenery and historical landmarks BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor The area surrounding the Swiss Alps is alive with amazing architecture, a rich history and beautiful sceneryThe alps arc visiblefromGermany Austria and Northern Italy. The close proximity of these small but fascinating countries allows tourists to easily visit various locations of great historical significance datingfromthe twelfth century to just a few decades ago. Reifenstein Castle Construction on Reifenstein Castle began in 1170. This twelfth century casde is the best originally preserved medieval castle in Italy. The countess who owns, and lives in, the castle offers tours to the public for a small price. The casde is most famous for the green hall, that makes medieval life look comfortable, and for the collection of period weapons that it contains. Visitors are also able to see the period-style kitchen, the knights sleeping quarters, the living quarters and all the aspects ofmedieval castles that make them unique. The castle is complete with an outer wall, a garden on the inside grounds, a drawbridge, and a dun- geon. Located on the second story, the dungeon is a small hole in die floor through which prisoners where dropped in to pitch blackness with no food and very little water for the duration of their imprisonment. The castle is located in a scenic area with lush, green landscape that is untouched by humans, save only the nearby sister casde Sprechenstein, for as far as the eye can see. The Residence at Innsbruck Marie Antoinette is perhaps the most famous queen in history. Born an archduchess of Austria in 1755, Marie Antoinette spent most of her young life at the residence in Innsbruck before she left for France to marry King Louis XVI at the tender age of 14 . Spoiled by luxury her entire life, Marie Antoinette became infamous for her lavishness while her people were starved in poverty. Walking through the halls of the Residence at Innsbruck it is easy to see why she expected extravagance. From the gold trimmed family tree hall to the lavish living quarters to the abundance ofdining and entertaining halls the home left nothing to be desired. Visitors will enjoy living the high life while walking through the childhood home of the woman who became victim of the guillotine, by the hands of her own people, during the French Revolutioa The Castles of Mad King Ludwig King Ludwig II is one of the most mysterious and fascinating characters in the history of Germany. Born in 1845, King Ludwig II became king of Bavaria at the age of 18 when his father passed away. The young king quickly became obsessed with building castles, and drained the Bavarian treasury making them as elaborate as possible. His most elaborate castle was Neuschwanstein, the castle Walt Disney modeled Sleeping Beauties Casde after. The casde is set on a mountain in the Bavarian Alps. Visitors to the magnificent edifice are able to visit the king's quarters, the kitchen, servants quarters, the throne room and various other completed rooms. After spending a fortune on the castle, Ludwig only spent 11 nights in his beloved masterpiece of a • home before he was found dead in ariverunder mysterious circumstances. Though little is known of Ludwig and his life and death, his magnificent casdes will forever pay tribute to his name. Munich and the Holocaust Germany is most infamous for a history it has spent decades trying to overcome, Hider and the Holocaust. Visitors to Munich, Germany can walk the streets Hider walked, stand where he gave speeches to histhrongs of followers and even visit concentration camps. The city offers various tours of Munich, including a Third Reich tour that takes visitors on a tour of places of historical significance to the life of Adolph Hitler. Dachau, one of Munich's suburbs, is home to the Dachau Concentration Camp, the first concentration camp in Nazi Germany that was used as a prototype and model for the camps that followed. Dachau was a work camp, meaning it only housed men and was not used for genocide, though it does contain a gas chamber and a crematorium. Visitors are able to tour the holding cells, the bunks of the prisoners, a museum and the gas chamber and crematorium. The camp is placed in a small, scenic town with nice middle-class homes placedjust feetfromthe wall of the camp. The iron gates leading into the camp read "Arbeit macht ftei," meaning work will make you free, the irony of which is disturbing.

Other silk items like clothing, purses and silk rugs were purchasable and this was the best place to buy quality silk items.

Jenkins, the legendary sportswriter and novelist, at 79-years-old, has released what will likely be his last work offiction.The Franchise Babe is full of hilarious moments as it chronicles the life and times of Ginger Clayton, a burgeoning young talent on the LPGA Tour who, at 18-years-old, is finding stardom, and many obstacles on the way. Her great looks and prodigious talent make her the proverbial "Franchise Babe." Other main players in the novel are Jack Brannon, a magazine writer who has left his comfort zone covering the PGA Tour in favor of the LPGA, and Thurlene Clayton, Ginger's mother. These two have a goofy courtship while trying to maintain their professional and parental roles, with Jack trying to remain an objective journalist, and Thurlene aprotective parent Along the way, Ginger is hounded by what has become all too common in professional sports today: sleazy hangers-on and greedy sports agents. As the novel winds through, it pokes fun at how ridiculous the commercialization of sports has become. For instance, in the closing chapters, the name of a major LPGA event is called the "Colgate-Dinah Shore Kraft Nabisco Le Grand Cheval Championship." Jenkins uses this as an exaggeration to be sure, but it points out how the names of sporting events just keep getting longer and longer due to corporate sponsoring. The work further satirizes how image has become more important than talent when it comes to endorsements and how crazy people can get when large sums of money are thrown their way. Among the other things the novel contains: drunken CEOs making a mockery of black tie events, competitors being paid by overzealous sports moms to injure fellow competitors, and boozy caddies disappearing with their player's belongings. With regard to the three main characters, the novel has a rather predictable ending but the bumps in the road they all find on the way leave one laughing and unable to put the book down. "The Franchise Babe" is not quite as good as some of Jenkins' past works such as "Dead Solid Perfect" and "You Gotta Play Hurt" but it is still contains his trademark semilowbrow-but-always-funny style. For a light and easy read that will make you laugh, "The Franchise Babe" is a winner mm Image courtesy of amazon.com BY eB Some people think its love they keep holding on to Literature and W riting students h ost student r eading BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A & E Editor Creative writing students from CSUM gathered in Markstien 125 at 7 p.m. for the second Creative Writing Community and Workshop reading. Participants from the creative writing community at CSUSM read from a variety of genres including memoir, poetry, short fiction, science fiction/ fantasy, and a pantoUm. Some students read multiple pieces and other's read a single large piece. Readings covered topics on family, immigration, racial equality, relationships, and personal experiences. Presenters included Molly Dale, April Gigliottie, Jerrica Escoto, Lori Greenstone, Jayrd Weiss, Melissa Haklitch, Jaclynn Carbajal, Andrew Garai, t.d. rust, Stefanie Lamkin, Ellie Yambrach, Jeannine Clark, and Joseph Iraggi. Ellie Yambrach, a Literature and Writing student, has been writing poetry since her teen years, ând gave her f irst reading this Thursday. Yambrach read two of her poems entitled, Don't Tell Me and Not Yet. Yambrach says of her experience, "I wasn't sure how my poetry would be accepted by the audience. I hoped that thé meanings of the poems and they way I presented them were clear enough." Yambrach adds that she would "absolutely"^ give another reading if the opportunity presents itself again. Poetry is i m p o r tant to Yamas a method of expression through "economy of words." She uses the Creative Writing Community and Workshop club as tool for peer evaluation saying of her fellow creative writing students, "I respect their opinions and suggestions and wouldn't hesitate to have them go over my work and as always, I love to see theirs in progress." Jeannine Clark, a Literature and Writing student, read three of her poems on Thursday night. Clark read Peter's San Diego inspired by her mechanic, You Inspire Me, and Jungle Garden which was written in her own garden. Clark expresses why creative writing is important to her saying, "It allows me to have a voice, to discover what's going on inside of me and to work out what's going on outside of me. I feel creative expression is so valuable it takes a lot of courage to do. Writers are some of the braves people on the planet; the pen is mightier than the sword!" Another student reading is tentatively scheduled for the beginning of December. Students who wish to participate in the reading should submit their work to csusmcreativewritingcommunity@gamil. com Poetry P rose- sometimes is something you find yourself stuck to like a tissue to a shoe after coming out of the restroom.

Thompson /The Pride Cougars find hidden gem in Mama Kat's Restaurant & Pie Shop BY KRISTINA LAWLER Business Manager Hidden in a run down s hopping center on San Marcos Blvd is Mama Kat's Restaurant & Pie Shop. At first glance, you wouldn't think that it was something worthy of your time, but I assure you that it is something you don't want to miss out on. Walking into the restaurant you feel as if you are magically transported into a small town in the mountains, with the homelike atmosphere of your mother's kitchen. The staff is extremely friendly and as some regulars come in, they greet them by name. The motto around these parts is "Comfort food at it'sfinest,"and I would whole-heartedly agree. I myself have had two different meals here. My first trip consisted of a half of a turkey and ham sandwich with avocado on wheat and a side of fries. It was, simply put, the best deli sandwich I have ever had. My fiance and I spoke little if no words during our lunch there, because the food was that good. Other things they offer for lunch include: hamburgers, griddle sandwiches, salads, dogs, and chili. Of course I couldn't just judge a place on one meal there so I returned to have breakfast. Their breakfast menu has so many good choices that I didn't know what to order. These choices included: The Great American Breakfast, their signature cream sausage gravy, homemade benedicts including their signature overdone feeling, but rather the it better. So, before you drive all the way out to Julian for those holihollandaise sauce, pancakes, French happy content feeling. Of course, I had to try their day pies, look no further than right toast & waffles, specialty omelettes, skillets, breakfast burritos, and pie—it is, after all, a Pie Shop.

It Image taken by Jackie Carbajal never leaves you with that heavy M ama m Prose for the Pride The Morning When You Want IT So Bad BYeB If I could j ust stop clinching my j aw for one second and make some use out of being naked because t his moment is j ust like last night. Nothing happened. Plenty of times before, to be naked was a necessity for the continuation of romance beginning a fter sunset to sunrise. For several minutes I stared at her sleeping f ace and came to the decision to test my luck this morning because I want t o start my day off good rather than boring like yesterday and the day before. I am f ully rested and she's not. The a fternoon was sneaking up and she is still in the deepest slumber. I suddenly started to remember some stories she told me of when she was a child. She was never the one to complain when it was naptime; when bedtime came around she reminded her mother that it was time. I thought for sure she would not only hear me whisper "I love you" but feel my lips say it well as I placed my hand between her legs. Nothing happened. Not even tickled. She's dead to the world. Today is not the day for a fternoon delight. I 've got things to do. I rritated I rolled over, t urning my back on her like I did yesterday and the day before yesterday. Reaching over the side of the bed, I grazed the f loor with my palm for any T-shirt or any undergarment to cover all that ¿was covered by sheets. My moving caused her to move closer to me. Grabbing my waist, she kissed my neck and held me; we looked like two spoons in a utensil drawer. I got goose bumps like I did the f irst night that we were together when the tension to get close was building. I licked my lips and took the kiss as a sign of great things to come. I rolled over and found myself in the same predicament a few moments before. "I love you." But nothing happened. Her limbs lay as heavy on my. skin like the thoughts of intimacy on my mind on a morning slowly t urning into a fternoon like yesterday and the day before. Her eyes remained clojsed and the little movement she-made a moment before went forgotten. I could only dwell on sound of her shallow, comfortable breathing and the thoughts of how long this would continue. Would she sleep until one, two, or three t hirty? My speculation was driving me mad. I knew I wasn't going to win. The alarm sounded; her eyes opened and it was time for me to stop t rying to f igure out why we d idn't start our day with sexual heart attacks a fter my attempts to feel up her thigh. I had a slight attitude when I rose up out of bed. "What happened?" she asked. "NOTHING...like u sual" "Don't you remember last n ight?" she asked. I couldn't really. I d idn't even remember getting home—let alone getting naked. Good point. "Last night was awesome!" she said. And then I saw the bottle at the foot of the bed and remains of what once was a m arijuana cigarette. Something did happen. I c ouldn't remember. The holidays are here. The Pride wants to know what vour favorite holiday food or beverage is. What does vour heart desire as the days turn shorter? Is it turkev. smoked ham, c aramel: apples» or mulled wine?

Chancellor Reed recently approved a giveback of $31.3 million from California's budget in response, to Governor Schwarzenegger's request f or. budget cuts across the board. f \ Chancellor Reed's giveback will come from the CSU's already $250 million budget shortfall, and will contribute to Governor Schwarzeneg^ger's $390 million request f rom government agencies. The C alifornia Faculty Association was quick to criticize Chancellor Reed's decision, noting that the $31.3 million giveback was not mandated. In a release issued on Oct. 27, the CFA contended that Chancellor Reed "misled the campus community by incorrectly reporting the CSU among agencies that need to cut a total of $390 million f rom the current budget." The charge r efers to a memo issued on Oct. 23 in which Chancellor Reed revealed the cut as a necessary response to Governor Schwarzenegger's call for a statewide budget cut of $390 million. The memo issued to all CSU employees states, "we have been i nformed by t he State D epartment of Finance that state agencies and departments need to cut a total of an additional $390 million."

The appeal of Blu-Ray is the lust for fancy new electronics. There is no need to buy a BluRay player. They may be nicer, but not worth the jacked up price. BluRay discs may be shiny and new, but DVDs are still high quality and more affordable. the standard DVD. Images are superior in high-definition and the sound is less condensed, hence clearer. Moreover, the discs can hold more data, resulting in more 'special features'. As well, Blu-Ray boasts that it immediately plays the film and the menu can be accessed at anytime during the movie at the bottom of the screen. On the surface, this seems nice. I appreciate high quality images and features that make for a better viewing experience. It would make sense to switch over to the new form, if it were not so expensive. The manufactures of Blu-Ray players have slapped an inflated price on the machines. For what the buyer is getting, this is a rip off. Besides the cost of the player, one must also buy a HD television. In consumerist America, this is very desirable. Though one might be able to afford it, this is an inappropriate use of money considering the financial crisis. As well, Blu-Ray discs are $5 to $10 more expensive. The special features are not worth that much money. Advertisements try to convince that standard DVD is a pain compared to Blu-Ray. DVDs are fine. attentive, but the overbearing service is an illusion of service. The formulaic greeting, serving, and thanking are fake and customers must know this. Employees have the proverbial gun to the back of their head to be unnaturally pleasant. This becomes especially difficult when the job itself is responsible for the unhappiness that employees must bury their sentiments to keep from losing their job. Workers must hide their feelings because the customer believes he or she deserve special treatment. Employees can and should be helpful, but they do not need to put on a show for the customer. The excessive conversation only slows done the transaction or interaction. Customers should appreciate getting what they need, not the imposed kindness. Yet the system is so deeply sunk into America, it is near impossible to be undone. The customer expects royal treatment while shopping because the stores perpetuate this process. Since customers naturally think this service is a good thing, it becomes part of a store strategy to make more money. If a store did not impose customer service, people would think poorly of the store. « It is unfair for stores to expect workers to be overly friendly to the customer. The real measurement of a store should be the quality and availability of products, and not ho\vtoucha worfer 'brownnoses' the shopper. For now employees just have to keep smiling. Shoppers must remember their place in the world and give some respect to the worker. It's true! Left-handed people are a minority living in a majority right-handed world. We deal with our aggression by dreaming of our Holy Grail, stores that only sell left-handed products. Notice how the right hand is RIGHT and the left hand is not the riglit hand. "They" might have as well called the left hand the wrong hand. The story goes back. I was in elementary school, kindergarten to be exact. One day after eating some minty paste and chasing the girls around in the sawdust, I was asked to grab a foreign object that I would later learn was a pencil. I was told to scribble on a piece of paper in whatever hand I felt most comfortable with. My right hand must have been a negative and the pencil a positive, because my left hand calmly and firmly grabbed the object. The following day I was asked to repeat the above-mentioned task. Withmintybreathlrepeated. After a few days my writing was going nowhere. It looked like I was trying to create a Jackson Pollock artwork. My teacher^ Mrs. Kristiansen, if I recall correctly, told me that I should try writing with the RIGHT hand. I thought, right hand, it must be right if they are calling it the right hand. I regretfully admit I gave it a chance. My body rejected. I felt like I was abducted by aliens— creepy and weird. I went home, paste in hand, and cried to my mommy. "Mommy, I want to use the left hand, I don't care if it's the RIGHT hand, I'm left handed." 16 years later I'm left handed and proud. Of course I'm even more confused as I throw, bat, and punch with my right hand. I leave the light duties such as eating and writing to my left hand. I wear my watch on the right hand and keep my wallet on my right pocket. I know. I do not get it either. So next time you see a lefthander ripping the sheets out of their three ring binder because we cannot write between the rings and the starting section of the paper, give us a break. We're just left-handed people living in your right-handed world. member of the press is recognizing one's mistakes. For The Pride, this time is no different. In the Opinion Article titled, "Starbucks Charges for Tap Water," [October 28, 2008], The Pride allowed for the printing of an opinion piece that argued the water at the on-campus Starbucks was unreasonable. However, the author failed to incorporate correct information into the piece, thus incorrectly referring to it as "tap water." The Pride has since been informed that Starbucks does serve water directlyfromthe faucet, but rather triple-filters the water they do serve BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The transition from VHS to DVD was the most exciting change in home e ntertainment since the invention of the television. The playback features alone made DVDs the best choice. Along with being physically smaller, having better video quality, and including 'special features,' the DVD was definitely worth switching over to. Yet they are supposedly inferior to the shiny new high-definition Blu-Ray discs. Although Blu-Ray is better quality, it is not worth the change thus far. Blu-Ray is fancy and boasts new features, but not worth the costs.

Douglass Miller, campus police Fellow Cougars, I hope that you all have seen an improvement in the morning traffic coming onto campus. We at the University Police would like to extend a huge "thank you" to everyone in Planning, Design & Construction and in Parking & Commuter Services for the open collaboration that made a great team and the success of this project possible. This team was able to recommend and institute a number of improvements that we believe helped reduce the time it takes to get onto campus each morning. One of these changes was to remove the stop sign at the top of Palm Canyon Drive as it enters Parking Lot F. This seems to have reduced the back up onto Craven Road from Palm Canyon. We also worked very hard at improving the timing and sequencing of the traffic control lights. We also implemented a suggestion to offer reduced rate parking in Lots XY&Z. The increased number of people parking in XYZ is notable and has made an impact. One of the suggestions that we were not able to implement was adding an additional turn lane to the intersection of Craven Road and Palm Canyon Drive. Everyone felt that this idea had terrific merit. However, when we tried to put concept to implementation we found that this intersection is not a true 90 degree intersection. The corner of the intersection is in fact less than 90 degrees. If an additional lane were put in, vehicles would not be able to make the turn safelyfromeither direction unless the Dear Editor: An opinion piece recently published by the Pride newspaper, (Made in America By Convicts, 10/28/08) is an untrue characterization of the California Prison Industry Authority (CALPIA), the contributions of its inmate workers and the conditions under which they work. More disturbing, the article appears to be a plagiarized version of a rant written by an inmate nearly 15 years ago. The claims by John Caterino, and many of the lines in his article, appear to be lifted nearly word-for-wordfromthat inmate's previously published claims. They were untrue then, and certainly do not reflect the rehabilitative mission, or the efficient operation of the CALPIA today. CALPIA provides inmates with the work and life skills they need so they can return to constructive lives when they leave prison. It operates over 60 light manufacturing and agricultural businesses in 23 of the State's 33 prisons that give inmates real world experi- result, CALPIA jobs are highly sought after work.

Excluded in that relationship is kissing, fondling, stroking, certainly any kind of oral gratification, and definitely sodomy [undefined]. His statement that people are born with only male or female parts precludes the "possibility that he may have participated in any upper-level physiology class. He also implied that one cannot be homosexual by nature, and so it must be learned. I'm sure it is a great disappointment for all of those heterosexual parents who have failed to teach their children proper heterosexual behavior. It's possible, I guess, that they may have been using an unnatural position or having sex for reasons other than procreation. It certainly bears looking into and conducting further research as to how people learn to become homosexual. When called upon to get to the discussion that was advertised, Prop 8, he launched into another diatribe. After 45 minutes I pregnant? F •'."" ' road was widened. We then explored widening the road slightly to make this change. Unfortunately, the new traffic control signal is too close to the curb to allow making any significant improvement. In the end, adding this turn lane would have required a significant capital outlay that in the currentfiscalsituation was simply not an alternative. To further mitigate traffic congestion we would encourage everyone to consider using the Sprinter, even once or twice a week would significantly help. Monthly passes can be purchased at Parking Services in the Foundation Class Room Building behind Craven Hall. The campus is also installing additional Bicycle racks for those energetic enough toridea bike to work. Your contin- ued understanding during these periods of growth is greatly appreciated. Although we have seen some improvement, please keep in mind that we will never be able to "return to the old days" when you could drive right onto campus without delay. It seems we have jumped straight from adolescence to adulthood and all the accompanying problems associated with a larger campus. You have my assurances that we will continue to monitor the morning traffic, accept suggestions, and mitigate problems as they present themselves.

The CSUSM study abroad program offers students the opportunity to study in Spain, France, England, the Netherlands, China and Costa Rica just to name a few. The opportunities to travel, study and learn about a different culture are just a glimpse of the immense benefits that studying abroad can do for a student's academic career. CSUSM offers a plethora of programs, 35 programs in nine different countries to be exact. Also, CSUSM exclusively offers 11 student exchange programs, which are better known as bilateral agreements, meaning that when American students seek to study at an exchange school, that school's foreign students can come to CSUSM to study, according to Tiffany Gabbard, the new study abroad advisor. The most popular study abroad locations are Western Europe, Spain, Italy and France. The Italy and France study abroad programs are particularly for students who are interested in studying the language and culture. Hong Kong, China is another popu- Studv.Abroad i n Korea iatS,o,onchunlmngUniversitv r lar location to study abroad, especially for business majors. Japan and the Netherlands are other study abroad locations that are growing in popularity. Some of the most unique locations students can study abroad are Fiji, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, South A frica, South America, Australia and Israel. The CSUSM study abroad program offers a unique program through World Link Education that enables students to learn the native language while living in the foreign country. Students can learn Japanese in Japan, German in Germany and the list continues with five other languages and countries. Opportunities to study abroad don't just stop at CSUSM, students can also search for study abroad programs at another CSU campus that may offer different programs.

It was so amazing to see the pages come to life by reading about the swans and watch the swans for myself," McBrayer said about her study abroad experience. "While we were not in school I had plenty of time to explore the town and other areas," McBrayer continued. Studying abroad can be a life changing experience and can help future^ graduates develop deeper understanding of the world around them. "Students come home with a g reater sense of who they are, a g reater appreciation of their own c ulture nected the world is," said Gabbard. "I have studied abroad in both Italy and England and considered them the most rewarding and enriching times of my life. Students must go explore this vast wonderful world of ours, and I'm happy to h elp them plan for their journey of a lifetime," Gabbard said. The CSUSM study abroad programs offer students more than 10 different types of financial aid and scholarships to help more students study abroad. More information can be found at www2.csusm.edu/ global, or at the study abroad o ffice in Craven Hall 3200. "If for some reason an exchange or IP program is not offered in the location a student desires, he/she can be an intra-campus visitor to another CSU and do their study abroad program with their students. It opens up a lot of doors for students to explore the world," Gabbard said. CSUSM features an exclusive opportunity for students to participate in internship programs in Australia and New Zealand. Internships are available in art, f ilm, broadcasting, even business and law, according to the Austra Learn program. Specific internship programs abroad are a great addition to a resume, since only about 1 percent of the students in the United States study abroad, according to the former CSUSM study abroad advisor, Jan Stockey. Katie McBrayer, a senior at CSUSM, studied abroad in Galway, Ireland her junior c ulture, and a much better p erception of just how con- the dangers they face while crossing the desert. With almost all of the boys being under the age of 12 when they left their villages, the boys did not have anyone to keep them safe from the wild animals except themselves. Alephonsion Deng, in his talk to students at Cal State San Marcos Oct. 9, recounted an incident in which he was sleeping in one of the refugee camps with a bunch of other little boys. He said he felt something above him and absent mindedly swatted at it. Moments later he woke to screaming and saw that the little boy who was sleeping next to him had a gaping hole in the side of his face where an animal had bit him. During their journey the boys were often separated from each other and they faced additional hardships that most can scarcely imagine. They walked thousands of miles in the grueling heat and the bitter cold. They were faced with injuries, slavery, starvation, thirst and all too often death. In their desperate attempt to survive, at times they ate dirt and drank their own urine to survive. However, when they reached the refugee camps, things were not much better. They received rations from the United Nations, however they were not sufficient.

After having read the gripping tale of three x)f the Lost Boys in They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky and having heard one of the Lost Boys who coauthored the book speak at Cal State University San Marcos, student Katey Pfeil decided to do something to give back to the Lost Boys. "I'm not usually the type to go out of my little box, but their story really inspired me," Pfeil said. "I did some research and found Water for Sudan, which is a project that collects donations to help build wells in Sudan so that the villages have fresh water, I just wanted to do something to give back." Pfeil's inspiration to help came from the stories of three specific men, Alephonsion Deng, Benson Deng and Beiqamin Ajak. The boys were all under the age of seven when they were forced by the civil war in Sudan* which became a genocide of the southern Sudanese people, to leave their families, homes and villages, and they were left to wander for years in the desert.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Miller Brewing Company produces Genuine Draft Light 64. The company operates out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Frederick Miller began the brewery in 1855. In October 2007, SABMIiller and Molson Coors joined forces making them the second largest United States brewery trailing Anheuser Busch. The Pride's "Beer of the Week" columns typically focus on microbreweries. However, Miller's new recipe deserves coverage. In general, Californians are health conscious. Several years ago people were going on the Atkins diet like it was going; out of style. Well, it did eventually fade out like any fad diet but demand still exists for low calorie beers. Most light beers currently on the market offer around 100 calories per 12 fluid ounce serving. Miller offers a beer with only 64 calories. Six packs of the brew retail for $6. A quick pour of the light brew generates a shocking behemoth one inch thick head. The head gradually dissipates into a frothy lancet. Bubbles of bliss glide joy fully t o t he t op o f t he glass emitting slight fragrances of malts and hops. The beer enters smooth then releases a surprisingly strong bitter taste. Unfortunately, the light brew, as natural of a light calorie beef, finishes too mild. "It's not as raspy as most beers. It goes down really smooth. It's not too stropg. It doesn't have any aftertaste," said nonstudent Josh Chamberland The low calories of the brew are perfect for those on diets or searching for ways to cut > out unnecessary calories. The beer should be enjoyed in social settings such as barbeques or pool days as the beer does not produce a full filling like most beers do. The simple taste of the beer will not pair well with meals. A more flavorful beer should be chosen to consume while eating.

My guess is that in these CSUSM Student Health and cases not all the pathogens they inject Counseling Services say a flu shot into you via the shot are "dead." Indeed, it would seem you just paid a nurse to put a living illness directly into your bloodstream, allowing it to pass several key immunity "checkpoints" which would have^ weeded out a great deal, if not all, of the illness. Personally I don't like paying to be sick. Obviously, not all flu shots get people sick, because that would contradict the whole point of getting flu shots in thefirstplace. But how many students end up getting sick in an attempt to prevent it? Out of the 98 people I surveyed, I found out that only 28 had receivedflushots in the past three years and nine ofthose 28 had gotten sick. That's a 32% M rate forflushots. I can grasp the benefits of a flu shot,, but I myselfwould never bother getting one. The widespread fear of needles mixed with the $15 it would cost to get one at the Student Health and Counseling Services topped off with a 32% chance of getting sick from the preventative tears the faith from many hearts. Besides, I already was sick before they started offering theflushot on campus, so I'm good to go for about a year. Starbucks charges for tap water Logo costs buck and a half BY SANDRA CHALMERS Pride Staff Writer College is a money pit. Parking at CSUSM for example is no easy tab, but now the Starbucks on campus has decided to exploit students' vulnerable wallets and charge a fee of $1.65 for a cup of iced water. Our campus Starbucks feels heaven sent—mocha Mondays, Tazo tea Tuesdays, and more. The discount schedule is great, unless you are in the market for a simple cup of iced water, then the price is a stale $1.65. Iced water is free at any other Starbucks off campus. In hard economic times, it is almost impossible to ignore the feeling that Starbucks is taking advantage of CSUSM students. The price of $1.65 for a cup of iced water is equal to the price of a water bottle customers can purchase. This concept seems unfair and leads some customers to believe that the Starbucks at CSUSM is purposefully charging its tap water to make as much revenue as possible. "I think it isridiculousthat Starbucks is making us pay for a cup of water. It's not even 50 cents, it's almost $2.00. You might as well buy another drink if you are just going to get water at that cost," said Annie Salazar as she studied on the benches outside the main entrance to the on campus Starbucks. Maybe by charging $1.65 for basic tap ice water, Starbucks is sending the message to students that if they spend a little more they can enjoy a much sweeter treat. If this is Starbucks' intention, it is a low and shameful sale tactic This sends out quite a negative tone since more than ten Starbucks within a 20-mile radius of CSUSM do not charge a fee for ice tap water. Latishia Rivera, a sophomore at CSUSM, works at the Big Cat Food court on campus and she said it doesn't charge for tap water. "We only charge 25 cents if the customer uses a cup, but if they bring their own water bottle we don't charge them anything," said Rivera. This is the common rule that many establishments agree upon, including restaurants that most often don't charge customers for endless amounts of iced water. In California, there is no law that regulates the price that restaurants or coffee houses can charge for tap water. The Starbucks on campus is not corporate owned. Therefore, it is able to set its own prices on coffee, pastries and yes, water. Jackie Carbajal, a current employee at the Starbucks on campus also cited the Starbucks location as a factor. "Another reason, and I believe the most important one, is that because we are on a campus we have a concentrated audience, which is why we are so busy most of the time. If we gave free cups of water, we would loose a substantial amount of money in cups alone." "Corporate Starbucks can sacrifice the loss of profit, but a licensed store such as the one on campus pays more for Starbucks product," Carbajal continued. Recently, the Starbucks chain's alarming battle over the policy to leave the tap water running left speculators disgusted at the company's alleged extreme wastefulness. To promote food safety, tap water runs non-stop during business hours. On Oct. 8, 2008, The Chicago Sun Times newspaper reported that throughout all the Starbucks chains, Starbucks potentially wastes more than six million gallons of water a day. With high crimes such as these, some would think the Starbucks on campus would be losing more money on the water bill than the price of cups. Will you be paying with cash, check, or first-born child?

Proposition 3 — the Children's Hospital Bond Act - is one of those important initiatives. Children's Hospitals treat the most serious and deadly diseases and conditions, including cancer, heart defects, diabetes, sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis. The number of children needing care in California is growing, but thé space and equipment to treat them are not. As the President & CEO of the California Children's Hospital Association, I can assure you that Children's Hospitals work every day to do everything possible to help all of seriously ill and injured children who count on us all across the state for health care. However, California^ Children's Hospitals face daunting challenges. Each year more than one m illion children are treated a t Children's Hospitals. Many are transferred froin other hospitals that don't have the resources to treat them. Children's Hospitals are operating at or near capacity. Without additional capital investment in medical equipment and facilities, Children's Hospitals simply will not be able to meet the needs of the region's expanding pediatric population. Proposition 3, the Children's Hospital Bond Act, would provide $980 million dollars f or the 13 children's hospitals in,California to purchase state-of-the-art medical technologies and to expand so they can make more room to take care of more kids.

Both Obama and McCain agree on many issues concerning immigration.

While that may be the case for Boston originated clothing company, Johnny Cupcakes, one buying incentive that isn't likely to fade is its 100% manufactured in the U.S guarantee. If the fair trade enticement doesn't get you, surely the twenty-four-year-old man behind "Johnny Cupcakes" should do the trick. "Customers like and appreciate the story behind my brand. I started this as a joke, f rom the t runk of my beat up 89' Toyota Camry; a college drop out -— drug and alcohol-free lifestyle — turned down a lot of investors took countless risks — kept my shirts out of heaps of chain stores. Yeah, I could have made a TON of money real quick, but I chose quality over quantity," said creator Johnny Earle who inherited his nickname from a friend. While working at a silk screening shop making t-shirts for his old band, On Broken Wings,Earle decided to make a few shirts that said 'Johnny Cupcakes' on them and the rest is history. Johnny Cupcakes kept the business close to home, having employed twelve of his closest friends as well as his own parents. The f irst Johnny Cupcakes shop opened in 2005 with only three official stores currently located nationwide; one in Los Angeles and two in Massachusetts (Hull and Boston). A h andful of stores around the world carry the Johnny Cupcake brand. A complete list is available at the Johnny Cupcakes website—www. johnnycupcakes.com. Due to word of mouth and Internet buzz, Johnny Cupcakes new store openings generated hundreds of eager customers willing to wait in line for hours to be the f irst to step inside the bakery inspired clothing stores. But don't let the growing appeal fool you, though the brand is growing, Johnny Cupcakes intends to remain tight knit and limited. ft "I'd rather have a strong brand filled with k nowledgeable customers who truly enjoy and appreciate what I've created instead of making a quick buck trying to get my shirts in chain stores across the world — being just another fad," Earle said. To keep his product exclusive, Johnny Cupcakes only pro- duces a limited amount of shirts for each design. The online store marks "Last Pressing" warnings for t-shirts that will soon become unavailable. In addition to the previous reasons, the Johnny Cupcake brand is slightly more expensive than department store clothing because all items are manufactured in the United States. Johnny Cupcakes tops range anywhere from $25 (on sale) to $35 t-shirts with hoodies and jackets at $65-70. Surely this story of success could inspire others to follow an inspiration or idea but imitating the sensation of Johnny Cupcakes takes more than daydreaming during class. "This all didn't happen over night, I didn't get lucky with some random idea, I got off my bum and did something with myself," advises Earle. "Everyone thinks of great ideas every day - it's just getting the motivation to get off their butts to actually do something about it."

Oct. 21, 2008 - CSUSM performance lab invited Olive Bieringa to host a free screening and lecture of her company the BodyCartography Project on campus. The performance lab at CSUSM is part of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts that focuses; on inspiring students to enhance their education through various mediums of art, including dance, theatre, and art performances. Olive Bieringa is the founder and co-director of the BodyCar- tography Project. The project is an innovated dance collaboration that is rooted in deeply moving, modern art pieces that can take shape as live performances, art installments, film, and still photographs. Bieringa's creative inspirations have led her to New Zealand, Europe, and even Japan to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. "The process of making art is so intuitive," Bieringa said, as she showed sections of her film pieces to students on Tuesday evening. She campaigned her idea that any environment can become a stage, the landscape of moun- tains or urban street corners give off energy to be creative and grow into any atmosphere. "What constitutes a dance? It depends on what you chose to focus on, how do I make a presence in an environment? I could follow theflow^ofa busy street or contrast it with ^cklm ddfice, these are all choices I think about," Bieringa continued as she explained to her audience the choices she makes as a choreographer in her dance pieces. The lecture involved several screenings of the BodyCartography Project's work: live perfor- Wonderlove is back Band does reunion tour in OC BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Eightyears ago, ifyou were to ask almost anyone in Orange County who the "big cheese" of the local music industry was, you would get only one answer Wonderlove. Winning the Orange County Music Award for "Best Live Band" two years in a row (2002 and 2003), Wonderlove was no stranger to the limelight. In addition to winning awards, Wonderlove has filmed 3 music videos, including one in Tuscany, Italy. Fame and travel are two things this band embraced and loved. Unfortunate for music lovers, Wonderlove played their last show in 2004 and disbanded shortly thereafter. Since then, they have done two reunion shows, including a sold out jam packed show at The Gypsy Lounge in Lake Forest, CA in June of 2007. But the wait is over, Wonderlove is having another reunion show on November 14, 2008, once again, at The Gypsy Lounge, their home away from home and favorite place to play shows. A simple reunion show not exciting enough for you? Well how about more than just a reunion show? How about Wonderlove getting back together with a new mances in Argentina and clips from "Holiday House," a film based on the coordination of friends in dance and movement. "I don't desire to give a message or a political view (in the performances) but to have the audience choose for themselves what it means to them," Bieringa said. Many of the students were very engaged in the lecture and screening. Kirstie Peterson, a sophomore, said, "I've seen her work before, it's very interesting and powerful." The BodyCartography Project performed at the Museum of Man in Balboa Park on Oct. 18. The performance featured CSUSM students including Claudia Evans, a senior who found the experience of performing so special. "Everything was so visual, so amazing, it heightened my senses and I felt like I learned so much, it was something I had iiever done before," Evans continued to share with the audience about her experience. For more information and video clips on the BodyCartography Project visit: www.bodycartography.org. . record somewhere in the near future? Sounds great to me, and that's the word straightfromWonderlove front man, Chris Paul Overall. With so much individual growth on each members part since the band broke up 4 years ago, there is much to look forward to with this reunion. Dave Beste spent much time recording and touring nationally with Rocco Dehica and the Burden, Bryan Mclntyre has played with Johnny Jones and the Suffering Halos, Dicki Fliszar has played with Anna Nalick as well as with Deccatree along with Jesse Nason, and Chris Paul Overall has been quite busy with his solo musical journey in addition to his collaboration withfellowlocal musician, AJDegrasse. In response to a question about what each individual will be bringing to the table after all this time and growth, Chris Paul Overall said, "when we were playing before, we were just a bunch of drunk idiots trying to destroy ourselves... now we [have] wisdom." Reuniting Wonderlove is growing into one of the most anticipated musical reunion in Orange County local music history, because it is not just a reunion show, it is the reunion of an incredibly talented band. "I'm just looking forward to playing with the guys that really make my music the best it can be. There has always been a [certain] chemistry between the five of us that I have never experienced with any other project, and Wonderlove brings the rock," says Chris Paul Overall. Personally, I've seen these five guys take the stage at last years one night onlyreunionshow and I must say - they do bring the rock. I've seen Chris Paul Overall play solo shows, I've listened to Rocco Deluca and the Burden, I've heard and seen Deccatree, I've listened to Johnny Jones and the Suffering Halos, I've even heard Anna Nalick's song "Breathe" on the radio - but none of that quite touches on the greatness of seeing all these guys on stage together playing Wonderlove's hitsfromboth their albums, My Submarine and Getting Off the Revolution. So when November 14 comes around, make sure you are in Orange County at The Gypsy Lounge (www. thegypsylounge.com) for the first Wonderlove show in a year. Check out their website, wwwmyspace. comAvonderlovemusic for more information of theirreunion,where to purchase their albums (iTunes and CDBaby), and more information about upcoming shows. Come out to the show, you'll love this band no matter what your favorite style of music is, it will be no wonder you'll love the Wonderlove!

The Carlsbad-Oceanside Art Gallery, which showcases a variety of artwork including oil paintings, photography, watercolor, and mixed media work by local artists, is one of few places that does. While the gallery does not restrict entry to only community artists, local artists do much of the work contained in the gallery. The function of the gallery is two-fold, serving both as a free art exhibition to the public and as a venue for these artists to sell their works. To make the gallery even more interesting, the artists themselves work the B pI gallery. Sarah Totan, an artist featured in the gallery notes, "If you are an artist on display here, you have to sit the gallery." This unique opportunity gives visitors the chance to enjoy the works with the insight of the artists whose work supports the gallery, Operated by the Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League (COAL), the gallery functions primarily on volunteer assistance and grants. The gallery is the fulfillment of COAL's stated purpose, which ^ K is "to promote art education and • cultural appreciation offineart in the community", making it one of North County's premiere outlets flMjjj^BBlg^SM for the visual arts. COAL also boasts its own monthly newsletter The > Brushmark, which keeps readers informed on activities and exhibitions the organization plans to hold in the coming month. Artists are charged a small fee to hang their work in the gallery, a measure that helps the COAL to keep the gallery up and running. With submissions allowed once a month, the system in place ensures the renewal of a fresh cycle of artwork at the gallery at all times. October's featured artist is David Seeley, who has several photographs on display in the gallery. Other impressive works featured in the gallery include El Ranchito Cabazon by Josephine di Salve and MMM-6 by Robert Boyd. Located just 15 minutes from CSUSM, the Carlsbad-Oceanside Art Gallery offers to students chance to experi- * 1 m ence the j North County's art ^^H of the area without any cost, leaving little excuse not to visit.

BY SANDRA CHALMERS Pride Staff Writer As Southern Californians collectively remember the one-year anniversary of the devastating October 2007 wildfires, students and the community recap their experiences and emotions over the catastrophic events that displaced more than 500,000 Southern Calif, residents. The 2007 October firestorms involved more than 23 scattered wildfires within Southern California. More than 1,700 homes crumbled to ashes and approximately 330,000 acres burned. The closest fire to CSUSM was the Coronado Hills fire that stretched into the San Elijo Hills and the Witch fire that began in Ramona and grew into an inferno that claimed two lives as reported by the North County Times. Now, one year later, CSUSM student, Marilyn Salisbury, recalls how last year's fires hit close to home. "I lived in Oceanside at the time and I was recovering f rom surgery. Watching the television was how I got my information and on the bottom of the screen they passed houses that had been lost and I saw my old address in Rancho Bernardo listed as a lost home. It was such a p ainful feeling." Salisbury previously lived there for three years. Salisbury, originally f rom the Midwest, mentioned that last October's fires were the first time she experienced ashes falling f rom the sky, "It was like Photo by Sandra Chalmers / The Pride See Fires, Page 5 International Education Week Weeklong events to promote advantages of study abroad E ducational Effectiveness Review a campus wide e ffort Phase three of WASC accreditation continues JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor BY TIFFANIE HOANG Copy Editor Oct. 20-24, 2008 - International Education Week (IEW) is a weeklong event that promotes the importance and advantages of international education and exchange.

Advertising Email: pride_ads@csusm.edu com A solution to high parking prices As redundant as it may be t o revisit the issue, parking permit prices have been a focal point of student dissatisfaction for years now. The fact that this problem has sustained for so long suggests that it is time for CSUSM Parking Service to reevaluate its policies regarding parking permit prices. As it currently stands, the fee program leaves many of CSUSM's current students footing the bill for a parking structure that they may never get the chance to use. And though it is true that students now enjoy parking paid for by our predecessors, the mystery lies in why the prices for such a basic service must rise at such unprecedented rates. Parking Services have given many answers to this, but none of them get to the heart of the question. It is true that Parking Services is self-sufficient and operates financially independent of the school, essentially making parking permits as the primary sources of revenue for parking programs. The cost of new parking projects get more expensive as time passes and so it is expected that prices should increase accordingly. In as much as students can understand the need to pay for this vital service at a rate that reflects increasing costs, the underlying reasoning behind the In theory, once all of these current system of parking permit increases abuses the fairness of projects have been paid off and construction completed, the cost such a system. Parking permit increases at of permit prices should drop CSUSM have far outpaced infla- dramatically. We would like to tion and rising construction costs, believe that parking expansion making it difficult for current stu- will not be an infinite endeavor, dents to understand why they are which means that at some point paying so much more than previ- students in the f uture should be paying less than students do now ous students. Comparatively speaking, as these parking projects wind CSUSM students pay f ar-more down. However, a payment plan like than students nearby and across California. Parking Services this places a disproportionate attributes this to the newness of financial responsibility on current our campus, but how much will students who will have inherited this argument carry when we are an unfair share of the monetary no longer a young campus and all burden for parking programs. Instead of graduating payof these projects are paid o ff? ments, the system should embrace a long term method of paying for these projects that flattens out parking permit rates indefinitely. It is in this manner that parking projects can be paid for more equitably, with the only increases in permit prices being to account for inflation. It is both u nfair and impractical to expect students to assume such a large financial responsibility for parking if such a responsibility is not fairly distributed. For this reason, it is critical that Parking Services reevaluate its permit pricing policies in the f uture to ensure fairness and cooperation.

HA HA HA The resurgence of the Western BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The past few years have a brought a revival of the Western genre in A merican films. The recently released " A p p a l o o s a" owes its success to Westerns f rom the past few years that have put new life in the genre. Not only is the Western back, but i t's t aking new shape as well. The Western film has always been p art of A merica's identity. In the early stages of films, Westerns were f requent in most m ajor film studios. Yet, in the , late 1980's, there was a diminishing amount of interest in films by directors such as Clint Eastwood. The Western almost came back in the early 1990's with "Unforgiven," which won the Oscar for best picture, but the revival would have to wait. The Western laid dormant for years until it recently began creeping back into mainstream cinema. In 2008, a hybrid film containing heavy Western influence once again won best picture. The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" proved the genre still had strength. Leading up to this, the Western took new shapes in other setting and genres. In 2006, the Western, which has p rimarily been set in A merica, came out of Australia with stunning force. " The Proposition" contained all the elements of an American Western such as outlaws, j ustice, and gunfights, but it was unique because of its setting in the land down under. The film is high caliber standing on its own and revitalized interest i n the genre. The Western also went into deep space in the TV show " Firefly" and its spinoff movie, "Serenity." Though these works appear to be sci-fi, narrative and stylistic elements mark them as Westerns. They showed that the Western could be popular anywhere. They directly contributed to the success the Western has today. Recently, filmmakers have treated moviegoers to "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and a remake of "3:10 To Yuma." Both have superb casts and s tories. The interest in recent Western films has proven Americans and viewers around the world are once again interested in the g ritty movie. T hemes of righteousness, t aking a stand for what is right, and selfless behavior have risen to the top. If this trend of Westerns and great movie m aking continues, cinemas will contain one delight a fter another. Photos reireivedfrom reelmovienews.com �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 21 2008 Rakin' in the dough Super-athletes distort bigger picture BY BRIAN M ANN Pride Staff Writer When people look at some of the salaries of professional athletes, they have to think that, overall, it is a group that certainly is not in need of a bailout. New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez makes north of twenty million dollars annually. Manny Ramirez, now a free agent who most recently was a Los Angeles. Dodger, will shop his services around this winter and is expect- ing somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty million dollars a year. He^ll likely get it, draw some headlines, and you'll hear again about how out-of-control salaries in pro sports are. If you're one of these lucky guys, you probably don't even notice that the economy is struggling. These players are part of an elite group, though, and are not representative of professional athletes in general They are the best of the best and are paid accordingly. Their attention-getting salaries seem outrageous and, quite frankly, they are. But it is reflective of their market value. I heard once that an individual's market value is whatever someone is willing to pay them." Fair enough. Because the best players tend to be the highest paid ones, they and their salaries are given the most attention. These players, however, do not represent the vast majority of professional athletes. Many athletes have a short-lived career. For Major League Baseball Players, 53% of them will have a career of four years or less and 74% of them will play eight years or less. The current minimum salary is $390,000. For NFL players, the average career span is 3.5 years and the minimum salary is $385,000. For NBA players it is 4.8 years and $442,000 (espn.com). Most players with short careers are making much closer to the minimum than the tens of millions that go to the best players. Professional leagues in every sport are f ull of players like this, just trying to play as long as they can. Granted, the low-end pay scale looks quite attractive to most everybody in the "real world" but because the money is made in a relatively short amount of time, most players will have to work like everybody else once their career is over.

By the t hird debate, all of the topics had b een covered and all stores of i ntrigue and excitement were well depleted. - Obama and M cCain fell into a c ircular p attern of d iscourse, w ith almost every exchange e nding where t he c andidates s tarted. The i nfrequent v ictories-if you could even c all t hem that-were small and almost always o ffset by a m atching v ictory f or the opponent. As p redicted, McCain excelled in f oreign policy and Obama on the economy. The debates proved n othing new and c ontributed little t o e xpanding the political d ialogue in t his regard. Even as p unditry a cross the b oard called the debates d raws, p olls t aken in a fter the d ebates all gave Obama v ictories in all t hree m eetings b etween the two c andidates. Who is r ight, the p olls or the pundits? In m any ways i t's b oth. The concept of "a tie is a l oss" for McCain clearly m anifested itself over the c ourse of the t hree evenings. For M cCain the inability to gain a v ictory leaves n othing to o ffset his downward spiral in the p olls, or O bama's steady r ise f or that matter. McCain w ill have to dig elsewhere if he e xpects to w in the election at t his p oint. T hroughout the c ourse of the debates, M cCain seem annoyed and s ometimes even a ngry to be s haring the stage w ith Obama. His a ttacks were relentless and a dmittedly s uccessful at t imes, but most o ften they seemed only to s plinter a gainst O bama's own S partan-like d efense.

Those p ained laughs and f rightening g rins (as much as they might have scared the kids) may end up h aunting McCain even more.

This reality dispels the notion that athletes make tens of millions and play 15 years and when it's over, life is a picnic. retrievedfromlatimes.com/askmen.com And thus it was M cCain's p erformances in p art that won Obama the debate season. Obama was p oised, c ollected, and yes even u nbearably stale, but it u ltimately proved to b e enough t o overcome M cCain's f rantic c lawing.

Quarterback Tony Romo broke the pinkie finger on his throwing hand during a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. To allow the injury to heal, he would have to sit out four weeks. However, it was reported by ESPN.com that Romo met with coaches and medical personnel for the team and told them he would like to play through the injury. He was the backup quarterback for their most recent game. Brad Johnson started. The Dallas Cowboys made a trade with the Detroit Lions to acquire wide receiver Roy Williams. To acquire him, the Cowboys gave up a first, third, and sixth round pick in the 2009 d raft as well as a seventh round pick in 2010. Following up on a note f rom last week, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was handed what the NFL termed "at least" a four game suspension due to his most recent off-field incident. He reportedly got into a fight with a bodyguard that the team had assigned to him and was under the influence of alcohol, a violation of his probation terms. No charges were filed. Jones missed all of last season due to suspension f rom the NFL. Kansas City Chiefs r unning back L arry Johnson was charged w ith assaulting a woman, stemming f rom an incident five months ago.

Men's Soccer Plays to 0-0 Tie with Pomona Cougar men's soccer played Cal Poly Pomona to a scoreless tie on Saturday, in f ront of the home crowd at M angrum Track & Soccer Field. CSUSM is now 6 -6-2 on the year. A somewhat lackluster e ffort f rom b oth sides led to the result. The normally very active Cougars took only 10 shots to Pomona's 9, and neither team consistently put together any k ind of sustained offensive attack. A program However, both teams did have their chances. CSUSM got what appeared to be a goal in the early second h alf, but it was called back late due t o a foul. Forward Brandon Zuniga had an excellent one-on-one chance, and midfielder Chris Wyatt put a couple of dangerous shots on net, forcing Pomona keeper Thomas Ryan to make a couple of big saves.

Women's Soccer Looks Great in 3-1 Victory Over Pomona Cougar women's soccer t urned in one of its finer e fforts of the season on Friday, defeating Cal Poly Pomona handily, 3-1. The win moves t he #12-ranked Cougars to 10-2-2 on the year. Playing under the n ew scoreboard down at M angrum Track & Soccer Field, CSUSM came out looking spirited and generating plenty of offensive chances. Senior f orward Katelyn Krauss and f reshman f orward L auren Johnson were dynamic up f ront, creating mismatches and keeping t he pressure on. A fter Krauss had a goal nullified due to offsides in the 15th m inute, she came right back on a v irtually identical play and cashed in d uring t he 24th. Johnson fed Krauss the ball at t he f ar top corner of the box, and K rauss drove a beautiful shot into the n ear side n etting for her team-leading 7th goal on the year. CSUSM would expand its lead early in the second half. A fter a scramble in f ront of the CPP net and a couple blocked shots, Johnson was finally able to get o ff a clean one that beat the keeper to the corner. But with the game seemingly well-inhand, things got a little bit dicey late. Pomona's Cody McClure was taken down in the box in the 78th minute, and Britany Garrett finished off the resulting PK, making it a 2-1 game. But the Cougars would prevail, with super sub Taylor Schurman capping off the win with a goal off a loose ball in the 82nd minute. Coach Ron Pulvers' club held on for the 3-1 win. "We played quite well," noted Pulvers. "We're gearing up f or the post-season and stepping up our play." The Cougars will be at home once again this Sunday to take on San Bernardino.

With all of the controversy and hype that surrounds the presidential race, everything else on the ballot seems practically pushed aside. It is iiot . enough to be educated about the candidates for president Voters should inform themselves about candidates running for other offices and about the propositions that are on the ballot. Propositions are often confusing so here is the breakdown of what each proposition is about and what it means. Prop 1A: Safe, reliable high-speed passenger train bond act This proposition allows the state government to sell $9.95 billion in bonds in order to construct a new rail system in California. Those who are for this proposition argue that the new trains will cut down on greenhouse emissions, dependence on foreign oil, and traffic. Those against Prop 1 say that this project will cost the government $19.2 trillion in principal and interest, money California cannot afford to spend in its cuirent financial crisis. For more information visit: www.californiahighspeedtrains.comorwww.hjta.org. Prop 2: Standards for confining farm animals This proposition requires pregnant pigs, calves raised for veal, and egg-laying hens to be able to extend fully, their limbs or wings, lie down, stand up and turn around for the majority of the day. Those for Prop 2 believe it is cruel to confine animals and that they deserve freedom of movement. Those against Prop 2 say the law will cause egg production in California to cease and it will increase the risk of exposure to Salmonella and the Bird Flu. For more information visit: www.YesOnProp2.org or www.safecaliforniafood.org. notify parents of minors seeking an abortion at least 48 hours before the procedure takes place. Those for the proposition argue that notification laws in other states have reduced teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in young girls and that the law will help protect them from being victimized by older men. Those against Prop 4 claim that it is dangerous and may force many pregnant minors to unsafe measures in order to avoid confrontation with their parents. Visit www.YESon4.net or www.NoonProposition4.org for more information. Prop 3: Children's Hospital Bond Act This proposition allows the state to sell $980 million in bonds for the construction, expansion, remodeling, renovation and equipping of certain children's hospitals. Those for Prop 3 argue that children's hospitals save children's lives and require support. Those against it claim it drives up California's debt and serves medical special interests while there are millions of dollars that are unspent from a similar measure that passed in 2004. For more information visit: www.imaginewithus.org or www.limittaxes.org. Prop 5: Nonviolent drug offenses, sentencing, parole and rehabilitation This proposition would give $460 million a year to expand rehabilitation programs for nonviolent drug offenders and would lessen the sentences they receive and the time they would be on parole. Those for Prop 5 argue it will safely reduce the overcrowding of prisons and expand rehabilitation programs necessary to get drug abusers help. Those against the proposition claim it has a loophole that will allow those accused of child abuse, domestic violence, vehicular manslaughter and other crimes to escape prosecution. For more information visit: www.Prop5yes.com or www.NoOnProposition5.com. Prop 4: Waiting period and parental notification before termination of a minor's pregnancy This proposition requires physicians to College Can Be Difficult. Getting Around Shouldn't Be.

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com ^ 511 Prop 6: Police and law enforcement funding This proposition allots a minimum of $965 million a year to police and local law enforcement. Those for the proposition claim it will reduce crime and gang activity and increase the number of law enforcement officers on the streets, making our neighborhoods safer. Those against Prop 6 claim it will take $1 billion from schools, healthcare, fire protection and public safety programs without any guarantees that there will be more police on the streets. For more information visit: www.safeneighborhoodsact.com or www.votenoprop6.com. Prop 7: Renewable energy generation Prop 7 requires that all government-owned utilities generate 50 percent of their electricity by the year 2025. Those for Prop 7 argue it will help to combat rising energy prices and help to fight global warming. Those against the measure say it is drafted poorly and will not deliver on its promises and could very likely send California into another energy crisis. For more information visit: www.Yeson7. netorwww.NoProp7.com. . Prop 8: Eliminates right of same-sex couples to marry Prop 8 would define marriage in the state constitution as a union between only a man and a woman. Those for the proposition claim it will restore what 61 percent of voters already approved and then was overturned by four judges in San Francisco. They claim it will just keep the definition of marriage between a man and a woman but will not deny samesex couples their rights. Those against the proposition say that everyone deserves equality under the law and that it is wrong to single anyone out to be treated differently. For more information visit: www.protectmarriage.com or www.NoonProp8.com for more information. Prop 9: Criminal justice system. Victim's rights, parole This would allow victims to provide input at each stage of prosecution and would provide for better protection of victims. Those for this proposition claim it will boost victim's rights, decrease perpetrators rights and prevent the release of criminals due to overcrowding. Those against Prop 9 claim it repeats laws that are already in place for victims while spending millions of dollars on prisons. Visit www.friendsofrnarcyslaw.org or www.votenoonprop9.com for more information. Prop 10: Alternative fuel vehicles and renewable energy This proposition allows the state to sell $5 billion in bonds to invest in alternative fuel cars and research and development of alternative and renewable energy sources. Those for the proposition claim it will reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and help fight global warming. Those against it claim that one company would receive the majority of $10 billion of taxpayers' money without the promise of results. Visit www.proplOyes.com or www.votenoonproplO.com for more information. Prop 11: Redistricting This proposition requires the formation of a new commission comprised of registered voters in which Democrats, Republicans and third parties are represented in changing the Assembly, Senate, and Board of Equalization district boundaries. Those for the proposition claim it prevents politicians from drawing up their own districts to suit their purposes. Those against it say it creates a costly new bureaucracy comprised of people who were not elected and have no accountability to voters. For more information visit: www. yespropll.org and www.noonpropll.org for more information. Prop 12: Veterans' bond act This proposition allows the state to sell $900 million in bonds to provide farm and home aid to veterans. Those for the proposition claim we need to give back to those who served our country and Prop 12 allows them to receive low interest loans at no cost to taxpayers because it will be repaid. Those against it claim it is written loosely and that voters may wish to discontinue the program at some point or limit it to those who are most deserving or in the greatest need* For more information visit: www.cdva. ca.gov for more information.

Basic computer knowledge for completing assignments FLEXIBLE HOURS, SALARY NEGOTIABLE, 760-5101512 �ri A T HE P RIDE Tuesday, October 21,22008 ctóber2l 008 EL i PC & 11 Dance that gives a spoghtlighthigher meaning Student BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A&E Editor Sarah Fiehler is a native north county girl w ho l oves to dance. She has b een a dancer from early c hildhood and continues to explore dance as an art form. Fiehler is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and enjoys the intimacy o f the dance program. She is an accounting major with a minor in dance and is set to graduate this spring. Fiehler hopes to be able to continue to integrate b usiness and dance in the future w hile making a living at both. In the fourth grade, Fie-. hler moved from Escondido to Valley Center where her mom enrolled her in dance class. The idea was to meet other kids and get involved in a new location, but Fiehler did more than that. She had been dancing; "her whole l ife" and she continued to enjoy it as she learned more techniques. In middle school, Fiehler began to l oose her f ocus on dance but her a ffection for dance was not far from her mind. In high school, she began to dance again and gained an inspiration from one o f her instructors at Valley Center High School. Fiehler says o f her High School instructor, "she taught us about l ife, not just dance." Other inspirations in Fiehler's l ife are talented dancers that she watched perform, such as Savion Glover, a world famous tap dancer, A lvin A iley, and Paul Taylor. Fiehler's concentration in dance is on modern and contemporary art. She participated in CSU summer arts series, where the Bush Woman inspired her. "They are really strong women, powerful movement with meaning being the performance." Fiehler's goal in developing her own choreographing movements is to convey "a message" beyond the dance. The « message may be about her, "personal experiences or social observations." Fiehler also loves to combine different art forms into dance. She "collaborates with poets and layers the work" to achieve multi-themed projects. For Fiehler, dancing is more than just an art form. Dancing is a cathartic expression. "Dancing keeps [her] thinking y' and observant, when [she] is creating art [she] s ees more."

Edward Norton stars as the green giant in this I action film, which is better than the first, but still not great. This should delight fans of superheroes and action films. This horror film misses the mark on several levels. The story follows a family and what happens when masked strangers appear outside their house. Though it provides some minor chills, it ends up being just another lame slasher film. Images retreivedfrom amazon.com �Keane discover Perfect Symmetry BY AMY SALISBURY Opinion Editor After two multi-platinum albums, a successful stint at rehab, and a new baby girl, you can't shake the vibe that Keane feels they have conquered something. Whether it be the unsaid rules of the music industry, hindered originality, or fears of their own, Perfect Symmetry begs to find out. Symmetry's opening track, "Spiralling," sets the tone for the entire album. David Bowie emanates from the verses in unlikely, synth-soaked flashbacks, surely not shaping the revelatory single fans expected. "The Lovers Are Losing" is much closer to Keane's typical style, filled with soaring vocals and loye scorned lyrics, a bit more pared down than the tracks to follow. Smith's throwback "Better Than This" could easily be where keyboardist and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley gave in hard to guest producer and pop god Jon Brion. The track is unquestionably a lyrical victory, centering on society'^ obsession with celebrity and reputation. Triumphant the poetry may be, but the keyboards and trippy guitar effects saturate the song's atmosphere. "You Haven't Told Me Anything" pushes the band's boundaries even further. Rice-Oxley allows drummer Richard Hughes a little experimentation with its beat-driven construction, seamlessly (and temporarily) switching Keane to a dance/house trio. Symmetry's low point immediately follows the album's immeasurable title track. The mellow "You Don't See Me" harshly contrasts "Perfect Symmetry's" dramatic melody and empowering mood by diminishing front man, Tom Chaplin's, commanding voice into a whimpering Bono impression. Keep an eye on your iPod. "You Don't See Me" is so dangerously m id-80s U2 that the song might sponta- Walkman. Luckily, "Again and Again" rushes in to balance the retro cheese. True, it sounds like something off the Top Gun soundtrack, but the A-ha synth rip-offs are actually rather classy. In fact, take away the buzzing arpeggio, and "Again and Again" could fit right in on the band's debut album, Hopes and Fears. Most of the release's punch lives in the first half of the tracks, with an even mellower "Playing Along" softly screaming an antiwar message before the last of the pop tunes make their mark. "Pretend That You're Alone" comes off as almost a harsh Prince" from sophomore record, Under the Iron Sea. Rice-Oxley compares humanity to "blisters on the earth" and "strangling weeds" before insisting we all revert to our most hidden animal instincts, apparently to help remedy rampant .Western superficiality. "Black Burning Heart" finally embodies what these three men originally set out to create with this record. As fresh as it is familiar, the song boils with classic Keane styling, while the fattest bass line since Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" drives it home. Lyrically, the track could joke, with lyrics akin to "The Frog onance of their previous record. The Radiohead/Queen finale, "Love is the End," overflows with genuine passion. Certainly, the band's personal experiences in the last year contributed to its authenticity. To feign warmth like that is impossible. A fter all, Keane would know. The glaringly poetic lyricist and composer Tim Rice-Oxley is sometimes too advanced for his own good. Regrettably, I get the feeling that this album won't bring about any Keane converts due to the simple fact that it may fly above many heads. Perfect Symmetry symbolizes the culmination of a band abandoning its inhibitions and indulging every influence. Refreshing from start to finish, Keane's latest album . leaves no stone unturned and balances intuition with innovation. neously morph it into a Drinks and Dinner Pairs well with Live Music BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor A fter a long week of school, work, and more school, a college student needs some f un.

Even the hackneyed horror genre puts out something original. Yet, in the past few years, there has been no development in romantic comedies. Though a f ilm must use the conventions and defining elements of its genre, romantic comedies have repetitive and predictable. Recently, other genres, such as animation and westerns, have maintained the trademarks of the genres while presenting an original story and idea. Romantic comedies on the other hand have become formulaic. The story line of every modern romantic comedy in Hollywood is the same.

THOMPSON become l ongtime friend or new person in their life that they fall for. However, the protagonist is too late because the person they are interested in is no longer available. An obstacle arises, whether it is that they are dating or engaged to someone else, or have a tragic character flaw. The story follows the pro tagonist's quest to win the heart of his or her beloved. The f ilm becomes whimsical as comedy ensues, and the protagonist almost gets what he o r she want j ust before something sad happens. This sad happening usually deals with something rude the protagonist, said or did in the beginning, and how it's coming back to haunt him or her. Yet, no matter how bad it is, the offended o ffers forgiveness through timely compassion or witnessing some deed. In the end, the most sickeningly unsurprising fact is the protagonist and his or her love will undoubtedly be together happily ever a fter. The romantic comedy that finally breaks out of this form will be something worth watching. Yet, there is no end in sight. Do not listen to advertisers who publicize a f ilm for being original. Modern romantic comedies are the same story in a slightly different order with different actors. That's it. From a strictly objective view, L would imagine this lack of originality would lead Hollywood to stop the production of romantic comedies. Nevertheless, their goal is money, and they can rely on the timid filmgoer to be excited about big name stars in a genre with which they are familiar.

Don't laugh, they will do it BY BRIAN MANN Pride Staff Writer Let's be honest. Since their inception in 1998 as an expansion team, the Tampa Bay Rays (formerly known as the Devil Rays) have been downright awful. Annually, they have been among the worst teams in baseball. Their payroll is almost always near the bottom of the pile. It seemed as though they would forever be a bottomfeeder given their seeming unwillingness to spend money to acquire proven talent. Who cared anyway? They were Tampa Bay, baseball Siberia, an expansion mistake with absolutely no history. Until this year. The Rays have exploded onto the seen«, and, quite impressively, amassed one of the best records in baseball. This year marks their first-ever division title and their first-ever playoff appearance. Over the course of the season, they have shown that they can win a nd win big doing it their way. They won a division, the American League East that also includes the high-payroll New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The Rays have enjoyed great - success from young players with high-end talent, but because of these players'-youth and inexperience, they are relatively inexpensive. In comparison with* the remaining three teams l eft, the Rays have an advantage over each one. Their American League Championship Series opponent, the Boston Red Sox, have injury issues, particularly with clutch pitcher Josh Beckett. The National League contestants have flaws as well. The Philadelphia Phillies rely too much on strong hitting at their home ballpark, which is very small and strongly favors hitters. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the least flawed, other than the Rays, but they seem a bit divided as a team. They have an awkward mix of young and old players who have had differences with each other in baseman Carlos Pena.

They have supplemented this smart drafting philosophy with intelligent trades to acquire young up-and-comers such as pitcher Scott Kazmir and f irst Schilling, speaking of the Rays, said "The start to respectability is as much an attitude as it is talent." Agreed, but the Rays are way beyond respectability at this point. They're about to be world champions.

According to the San Diego Food Bank website, over 480,000 people face hunger in San Diego county. 181,000 of which are children. Founded in 1977, the San Diego Food Bank distributes approximately ten million pounds of food each year to individuals, families, and other nonprofit organizations to assist in the fight against hunger in San Diego County. �NEWS THE PRIDE ± > | Lié Y V O From PACT, page 1 reported on the issue on Oct. 3, stating that the program saves the taxpayers $1.4 billion each year by helping prevent unwanted pregnancies and, "If not resolved in California's favor, the disagreement could create a new hole of at least $262 million in the state budget that j ust went into e ffect..." Each year, the federal government pays for $315 million worth of the estimated $432 million it costs to run the program. Since the federal government only pays for legal immigrants, the state pays for care received by illegal immigrants. Family PACT accounts for approximately 1.7 million low income Californians annually, with services ranging f rom sex education, counseling, and birth control methods to prenatal care and annual exams/Representatives in favor of the program claim that the state would pay much more in maternity care for the 170,000 women served under Family PACT. According to state statistics, an estimated 14% of Family PACT participants are illegal immigrants. This past September, the Bush administration gave California a month to determine the legality of each member of the program to avoid losing federal funding. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services extended the status of the Family PACT waiver to Oct. 16, a fter which, the program will determine how to continue serving those under Family PACT. Student Health and Counseling Services called for student participants in the Family PACT program to contact their local congressman, senator, and Majority Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi at 202-225-4965 or AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov to express the importance of the program.

"Don't Vote," an online video featuring celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, and Sarah Silverman, serves as a comedic public service announcement using reverse psychology to encourage voter registration and stress its importance.

"There is nothing more American than exercising one's right to vote and many Americans cast their f irst vote as college students," said Geron. "College students represent a growing portion of the electorate and have the potential to make a big impact and this is simply an e ffort to jump-start the registration process.

The Chamber is a themed labyrinth that is haunted by La Llorone, a ghost from south of the border who is searching for her lost children. The Chamber is more suspense driven than any of the other attractions and is sure to deliver spine-tingling thrills. The House of Horror is the scariest of die three and is not recommended for children under the age of 10. The house features frightening scenes of gory terror and bloody graphics. The House of Horror is designed as a house with a series of themed rooms that thrill seekers must walk though. The eight rooms include the Funeral Home Room, the E lectrocution room and the Butcher shop. Each room is slightly more frightening than the one San Diego is notorious for having high Halloween spirits because, of the variety of attractions it offers for the haunting season, and this year San Diego is hosting four major Halloween attractions throughout the city, each with a unique theme that is sure to give a good scare. In Del Mar the Scream Zone delivers thrills, Mira Mesa hosts Monster Manor, Balboa Park has the Haunted Trail and Downtown San Diego presents the Haunted Hotel. Following a trail of blood through a dreary hallway and hearing chainsaws humming in the background as a head rolls across the floor leaves no doubt that the Delmar Scream Zone has arrived. Set at the Delmar F air m D INE IN > C ARRY OUT D ELIVERY before it, and each room offers a surprise twist. The Scream Zone is open nightly from 7 p.m. to midnight Oct. 23 thru Nov.l and open on selected dates beginning Sept. 26.

The local children called the house Monster Manor before it burned down under mysterious circumstances family inside. Many try to enter the Manor each year and the Ghastley family haunt, taunt and scare the unwelcome guests. Monster Manor is an intense attraction and is not appropriate for children under the age of 13. However the Monster Manor does host Lite Fright for younger audiences.

The Haunted Trail at Balboa Park is a more interactive experience than the Scream Zone. The Haunted Trail is an outdoor walk through wooded areas with haunted graveyards and actors staged as ghosts and other frightening characters. The attraction was made to thrill all the senses. Haunting tunes are played while patrons walk through the creepy scenes to keep them looking over their shoulder, and the natural moonlight 99 ( Ë gives it an added / e ie^ ment o f s pookiness for a night that is no walk in the park.

However, a trip to a local haunted spot can leave goose bumps on the arms and send chills down the back, The Whaley House, located in Old Town San Diego, is one of two homes in California that has been documented as "haunted" by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. And according to the Travel Channel's "America's Most Haunted," it is the most haunted place is the United States. The property where the house is located was a local hanging site, according to the Save Our Heritage Organisation(SOHO). Even though Thomas Whaley witnessed many of the hangings that took place there, he still chose to purchase the land to build a house for his family, Shortly after the home was built, the family claimed they heard footsteps and mysterious things around the house, which they a t t r i uted to the ghosts of those who had been hung there, according to SOHO. Urban legend also suggests that Whaley and his wife hauiit the home, along with a little girl who is rumored to have been decapitated in the backyard by a clothing wire, However, no documentation of the girl, her family, or the incident can be found according to SOHO. SOHO claims that several people, including Regis Philbin, claimed to see apparitions and other ghostly behavior in the home, The museum capitalizes on the home's ghost filled history during the Halloween s eason/The public can participate in several activities such as oil lamp tours with ghost stories and ghost hunts.

Shortly following the injury, Brady was declared out for the season by the team. An arrest has been made in the nearly two year old murder case of Denver Broncos player Darrent Williams. Willie D. Clark was indicted on first-degree murder charges on Wednesday, October 8th in Denver. Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones reportedly got into an altercation with his bodyguard at a Dallas hotel. Police were called but no charges were filed. Jones missed all of last season due to suspension by the NFL for numerous off-field incidents. New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress returned to the team following a one game suspension for an Tony Stewart won the AMP Energy 500 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway on October 5th.

NHL Chicago Blackhawks left wing Ben Eager received a three game suspension from the NHL for swinging his stick at Dallas Stars player Sean Avery. Soccer Recap ¡j ^ m I fSl j p mi M S V*/W Cougar Cross-Country Shines at Vanguard; Men and Women Take 2nd Cougar cross-country lived up to its lofty national ranking on Saturday, as the #3-ranked women and #5-ranked men both finished second at the Vanguard Invitational. Competing in chilly conditions against a field chocked f ull of NAIA top-25 teams, both CSUSM squads managed to place only behind Azusa Pacific in the standings. APU's women's team is ranked #2, and their men are ranked #3. Dallon Williams, as she has done all season, led the Cougar women in Saturday's 5K. The senior star runner followed up her record-breaking performance at Riverside with another brilliant race, running 17:25 to place second overall. Not far behind was fellow senior Morgan Sjogren, who nearly joined Williams in breaking 18 minutes, but settled for 18:01. Up-and-coming sophomore Jessica Sandoval made it a trio of Cougars in the top-10, running 18:17 to place 10th. True freshman Cady Villarreal ran a solid race, placing 15th with a time of 18:44. Rounding out the top-5 was Sin Carrano, who ran 18:48 to take 17th. Unbelievably, CSUSM nearly had 7 runners finish under 19-minutes, despite the tough conditions. Lindsey McKown and Whitney Patton just missed the mark, running 19:02 and 19:03 to finish 24th and 25th, respectively. Also competing for the Cougars were Suzanne Scrimenti (29th; 19:10), Stephanie cook (40th; 19:53), Jen Reinagel (41st; 19:56), Cassidy Reich (57th; 20:46), Monika Valenzuela (68th; 21:07), Brooke Smith (73rd; 21:23), Christina Cooper (76th; 21:54), Niki Thomas (85th; 22:25), Mallory Bawkey (87th; 22:44), and Erin Hearn (88th; unspecified violation of team rules. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has been reinstated by the team. Henry has been arrested five times in the last four years. MLB The first round of the playoffs has been completed. Each series was a best of five (or first team to win three). The Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies are playing the National League Championship Series for the right to represent the National League in the World Series. It is a best of seven series (or first team to win four). The Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox are competing in the American League Championship Series for the right to go to the World Series. It is also a best of seven series. San Diego Padres owner John Moores reportedly is attempting to sell about 49% of the team, according to published reports. He is in the midst of a complicated divorce. By retaining more than half of the team's ownership stake, he would retain the controlling interest in the team. NASCAR 22:45). On the men's side, the Cougars' formula for success remained the same as its been all year: solid, consistent (if not spectacular) times from everyone in the tpo-5. While the men don't have a breakout star like Williams or Sjogren, they run remarkably good and consistent times from race to race. This differs from the last couple seasons, when the Cougar men have had the star power but not necessarily the depth. In both 2006 and 2007, CSUSM finished a disappointing 9th at Nationals; this year's team has quietly positioned itself to improve on that. Leading the way on Saturday was Dave Edwards, who ran a strong 26:08 on the 8K course. Amazingly, the team's next four runners finished in order, starting with Tony Guadagnini running 26:21 to take 14th. Finishing 15th was Alex Guaderrama at 26:22. In 16th was Kyle Hughes at 26:26. And at 17th was Matt Leetch, who ran 26:29 to cap off the impressive team showing. This year's team also possesses the depth that has been lacking iji previous years. If any of the above runners had faltered, Leo Elorza's 21st place finish at 26:39 wouldn't have hurt the squad at all. Also competing were Andrew Lang (37th; 27:26), Hank Carl (44th, 28:00), Miguel Vega (48th; 28:03), Antonio Sanchez (53rd; 28:10), Thomas Polhill (64th; 29:20), and Weston Ryan (73rd; 30:50). Cougar cross-country will be competing on campus next Saturday at the Cougar Challenge! Woman 3-0. Men 1-1 BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer Cougars Soccer had a successful road trip this weekend, with both the Men going 1-1 and the Women going undefeated 3-0 throughout the week. On the brink of going over the .500 margin for the second time this season, the Men's Soccer team just fell short moving their record to 5-6-1. Traveling up the coast this past weekend, the Cougars played S.F. State, where both teams came out strong scoring goals almost immediately. In the 4th minute SFSU's Mario Hernandez hit a corner kick in the box, which ended up being scored by Killian LeDuke to give them the 1-0 lead. Just 5 minutes later, co-captain Chris Wyatt scored an equalizer from 25 yards out to beat the keeper. The 1-1 tie carried all the way into the 2nd half, when in the 71st minute the Cougars fouled a member of SFSU in the box and scored on a penalty kick after defender Trey Whitaker was sent off with a red card. The Cougars couldn't get an equalizer and lost 2-1. In their 2nd game of the road trip, the Cougars moved their record back to .500 with a 1-0 win over Cal State Monterey Bay. In the 14th minute, Michael Nuovo found senior co-captain Greg Reese, who scored on a shot off the right post to give the Cougars the only score of the game. Keeper Tashi Nakanishi made 5 saves in the game to maintain the shutout. Women's Soccer needed a 2nd half comeback to win over Chapman University 2-1, in the only home game of the week for the Cougars. After coming off a loss the Cougars are now ranked #13 nationally. The Cougars out shot Chapman 12-2 in thefirsthalf but once again could not capitilize and would trail 1-0 going into the 2nd half. In the 55th minute, Taylor Ziencina, who has been hitting phenomenal corners all year, hit another deadly pass into seldomused defender Lauren Hernandez who headed it in for the equalizer. Finally in the 72nd minute, athlete of the month Katelyn Krauss made a great run at midfield and found Ziencina who scored the game winner after the defense did not allow a shot on goal in the 2nd half. In their 1st game of the road trip, the Cougars clawed SFSU 2-1 in another great victory. After another corner kick by Ziencina, Breanna Brenton, a solid back line defender, scored in the 28th minute t o give the Cougars the 1-0 lead early. Krauss gave the Cougars a much-needed insurance goal coming off a penalty kick in the 65th minute, which ended up being the game winner, after the Cougars allowed a late goal in the 88th minute. Women's Soccer improved their record to 9-2-2 after a dominating victory against CSU East Bay 3-0. Katelyn Krauss added another goal in what has been an impressive week for the athlete of the month in September to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. The Cougars would add on two more goals in the 2nd half, one by Lauren Johnson to seal the deal and earn the Cougars their 3rd win of the week. Brittni Salomon pitched the shutout for the Cougars as well. Intramural Basketball and Co-ed Dodgeball BY LANCE ROSENBERGER Pride Staff Writer A round of applause is in order for everybody who participated in the Intramural Basketball and Co-ed Dodgeball leagues held at the Clark Fieldhouse over the past couple weeks. But like all sports, we have to give special praise to the teams who managed to strive above the rest and make it to the finals. For basketball we had the Fab 5 play off against the ZBT Shockers. In a great game the Fab 5 managed to come out ahead, getting first place for this season. "It was a great game on both parts and all the players deserve recognition" says Hugo Lecomte, the Director of Campus Recreation. But it wasn't over for the ZBT Shockers. Not one to sit on the sidelines, they also made it all the way through to the finals in the Dodgeball league. In the final game against Los Peloteros they came out ahead, grabbing the title of CSUSM Dodgeball champions. Los Peloteros played hard, but apparently the ZBT Shockers played harder. All the staff working at the Clark Fieldhouse wish to invite you to participate in the upcoming Flag Football and 3-on-3 Women's Basketball leagues. Check out all the activities by visiting Campus Recreation in the Clark Fieldhouse. �A &E THE PRIDE r e, read Tuesday, October 14, 2008 11 hink, enjoy BY JEFFREY SCHONEMAN library (barely) alive how nice, how new, how modernized this thrust of peachy concrete is! guide your hand along its walls and you will feel a pulse of data coursing through electric veins.

Comics Just for Shiggles By Jenny Bigpond �BY JOSEPH DERAGISCH Pride Staff Writer If you like your food slathered in home-style essence and fried to perfection, then tucking in to Old California Mining Company is a great way to spend any day of the week. The restaurant is nestled right in the middle of "Restaurant Row" along San Marcos Blvd. With other restaurants around the area specializing in foreign foods, it's a refreshing sight to see a place with good ol' American roots. The presentation of the old time California feeling is evident right at the start. From the rusty lanterns strewn around the walkway leading up to the place, to the heavily scarred wooden door that opens to let customers in, you feel like your back in the 1880's swinging a pickaxe to the tune of old folk tunes. The interior is just as decorated as the outside, with sttiffed bears and elk lining the walls and old paintings of miners spaced out along the dining areas. The customer service is exceptional and right on time, and the wait for an order is was surprisingly short. Speaking of which, no restaurant would be complete without a fabulous menu to go along with its decor. Old Town California Mining Company doesn't disappoint. They have a large menu ranging from the classic chicken fried steak and potatoes to an impressive seafood selection. There is also a large desert menu to satisfy the heartiest of eaters, although it may go untouched since the portions are rather generous. Who doesn't like a little nostalgic and rustic aura in a restaurant? Head down to Old Town California Mining Company to have a great time, eat some great food, and enjoy an authentic setting of times of old. Photo by Katie McBrayer/The Pride Tony Vs. Paul BY JOSEPH DERAGISCH Pride Staff Writer Tony Vs. Paul is an amazing and at times hilarious stop motion fight sequence between two friends gone rivals. The story begins with Tony looking at an old photograph of him and Paul. The picture suddenly starts moving and Paul punches Tony. Tony retaliates by sending him an angry letter (which gets to Paul by crawling across town by itself). Paul then goes over to Tony's house and begins an epic fight that lasts the rest of the video. There are some great effects such as the two guys running on water, hovering over the ground, and skating across the grass. The video took two months to film and edit, and it contains over 4,000 still shots to create the fluid motions of the characters. "Nothing is fake and no green screens were used," Paul Cummings says, adding to the impressiveness of the clip. Tony Vs. Paul will marvel anyone who appreciates hard work and authenticity in their indie film making. It can be found here: h ttp://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=AJzU3NjDikY. The duo have made many other videos using stop motion animation which can be found at their website: http://freeposterfilms.com/. Their films have won numerous awards and contests and have been featured on The Office and Balls of Fury dvd sets.

Legend's Sports Bar and Grill recently opened in the Ralph's shopping center on Twin Oaks Road, across from the school. It is located in the Grappa restaurant building, which owner Garo Minassian split to include a sports bar. The former Grappa building still contains the pizza and pasta restaurant, but Minassian said he wanted to open a place for students who wanted to watch games in a less upscale environment. He said, "it's has a nice and clean atmosphere and is student and family friendly." The handful of televisions boasts high definition showings of ESPN and sporting events. The menu consists of typical bar food. Legend's offers several appetizers including chicken BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Stone Brewery brews and bottles Vertical Epic in Escondido, California. The brewery originally opened in San Marcos, California, in 1996. In 2006, the company moved to a new facility in Escondido to meet increased customer demand. The current facility is capable of producing of up to 250,000 barrels. Chairman and CEO Cireg Kock and President and Brewmaster Steve Wagner originally met in 1989. While attending a class at UC Davis both realized their shared interests in the art of craft brewing. BevMo retails the 1 Pt. 6 Fl. Oz. bottle of ale for $6.49. The dark brown glass bottle features the name of the brew and information in white and gold stenciling. A gold bottle cap seals the ale with a 8.6% a lcohol bv tenders and nachos. The chicken wings were slightly disappointing. They smelled wonderful and came nicely presented on their plate. However, the sauce was off balance and the chicken required a bit more time cooking as they lacked crispness. As well, Legend's overpriced them at $6.95 for six wings. Other menu items include salads, wraps, pizzas, and hamburgers. The Vi lb. cheeseburger at $8.95 offered a great deal. The burger was larger than expected an d contained crisp and fresh tomatoes, onions, and lettuce on top. The side of fries was also pleasing because they were more refreshing than filling. The burger filled up well though. Legend's also offers a bar with a fair assortment of beers and drinks. While I was there, the service was slightly inattentive, but still friendly. Conveniently located next to campus, Legend's caters well to the students needs. The pricing is fair and the atmosphere perfect for game day. Legend's is a nice alternative to fine dining found I in Grappa. Photo by Bill Rhein / The Pride ; volume. Steve Wagner and Head Brewer Mitch Steele give credit to a visit to Belgium in early 2008 for this year's Vertical Epic recipe. Stone claims the beer tastes best after the brew has fully aged after Dec. 12,2012. The ale pours chunky generating a healthy two-inch head and releasing a strong bitter aroma. The head lingers for a moment before transforming into a delicious creamy thick lancet. The brew radiates a beautiful amber hue. The ale enters the mouth and delivers a knockout punch like Kimbo Slice to the taste buds and tongue. The taste buds and mouth take several minutes to recover only to ask for more of the full flavored tasty ale. Pair the beer with full dinner meals preferably beef to counter balance the burly beer. Enjoy Stone's Vertical Epic Ale for a wild adventure and support local breweries. As responsible ^ °u ' -gars, enjoy r espon- jmMm^. s i b 1 y .

The small room filled with approximately 60-70 students and CSUSM staff with the focus of the 45-minute discussion on Obama and McCain's presidential campaigns and debate further emphasized the polarity between the Republican and Democratic parties. While the majority of dialogue focused on the financial crisis of late, both candidates confidently supported their running mates' policies. Gwen Ifill, senior correspondent for PBS's The NewsHour,; moderated Thursday's debate. Though her prepared questions spanned every aspect of the respective candidates' campaigns, Palin and Biden focused on addressing the economic crisis, energy, and the war in Iraq. The 90-minute broadcast pitted a seasoned Sen. Biden against D.C. freshman Gov. Palin, who admittingly joked, "How long have I been at this, like,fiveweeks?" Although Biden's years of experience may contribute to his credibility, Palin's persona garnered a few laughs from the otherwise silent audience. A trend among both Palin and Biden was their polite refusal to respond to Ifill's direct topic suggestions. Immediately following Palin'sfirstrebuttal, Biden preferred to continue discussing McCain and his views on the stability of the maiket. Biden stated, "That doesn't make John McCain a bad guy, but it does point out he's out of touch." Palin focused on her running mate's strengths rather than stress disagreement. Concerning energy, Palin used her track record as Alaska's gov- See Pizza, Page 4 Student open forum with President Haynes this Thursday This Thursday, Oct. 9, CSUSM President Karen Haynes will connect with students in an open forum f rom during University Hour in the President's Boardroom, Craven Hall 5302.

This revolution gained motion with the release of YouTube, allowing anyone to post video online. However, Dr. Horrible was different, because it was the first widely released professionally made production without backing of a major studio. Dr. Horrible is a comedy musical set around the world of super villains. The story follows the titular character, Dr. Horrible, in his quest to defeat his nemesis and get the girl of his dreams. Behind this was director Joss Whedon, the man responsible for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly/Serenity. The idea came about during the Writers Guild Strike, when Whedon and a crew wished to make a production without a high budget or backing of a major studio. Though it did not take a great deal of money to make, it had the appearance of high production value. The each segment of the three part series reached the top of the iTunes sales chart. Upon release, the soundtrack, released only on iTunes, made it in the top 40 album sales. Mac BY JOSEPH DERAGISCH Pride Staff Writer Some battles have been raging since the dawn of time. Coke and Pepsi, the Yankees and the Sox, and Cain and Able are all great examples of these. Great rivalries often become staples in pop culture. One of the most hyped and commercialized rivalries in recent years have been that ofApple and Microsoft. There are millions of people who will defend either company's products, citing many reasons why one is better than the other. Both companies' products excel in different areas, so this article will focus on a few areas that most people consider when buying a computer that suites their needs.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Yet, the real significance does not lay in its popularity or cost. The online-based release ushered in a use of the Internet. It proved a professionally made film could gain success without cinema or DVD release. Dr. Horrible also showed that entertainers could use the Internet for more than homemade videos on YouTube, movie trailers, or television reruns. Dr. Horrible subtly raised the quality of online media, which should lead to more development in this medium. The idea of an Internet only release of a major production was elusive until now. Though companies used the Internet as tool paired with movies and television, it is now beginning to stand on its own, thanks to Dr. Horrible. One would be naive to assume the Internet would take over, because these mediums will continue to benefit from each other.

Vegetarianism promotes health, is cruelty-free, and is even required by some religious schools. For those of us who grew up eating meat, the commitment for change raises a crucial question: How do I get enough protein? In the Western world, the answer to this d ifficulty comes in the form of a happy little protein-packed bean. When I f irst explored alternative proteins a few years ago, I could hardly tell the difference between meat and meatless variants, let alone other vegan products. Companies like WholeSoy and Boca Foods leave nothing to be desired in recent converts, right? Not so fast. Have you ever wondered what is so "super" about soy? Companies promote soy as a miracle food to cure what ails, replace what needs replacing, and even make less of an impact on the environment. As convincing as the advertising appears, it's time to take a reproachful look at the myths surrounding soy and see what science has to say. Soy partially gained a reputation as the perfect food from the Asian community. Asians, especially the Chinese, have a longer average lifespan and decreased risk of heart disease than Europeans because of their diet. However, farm- - i*«* • -g ers originally used soybeans in crop rotation, not as a food source. In fact, they realized as early as the 2nd century BC that raw soy contained large amounts of natural toxins, or "antinutrients." Further research shows these toxins include enzyme inhibitors that block the absorption of proteins, phytic acid that retards the uptake of essential vitamins and minerals, and goitrogens that suppress thyroid function. The Chinese discovered that only fermented soy, like tempeh, natto, miso and soy sauce, was f it for consumption. Average use of soy in Japan and China is only about two teaspoons per day, and most of it is condiments. A more likely reason Asians experience better health is their frequent use of fish and low intake of saturated fats. Environmental claims suggest soy is a "greener," more natural food source than any other mass produced crop. Unfortunately, most soybeans grown in the Americas are GM, genetically modified; so they can still develop while doused with large amounts of herbicide. Research in GM soy shows that women consuming soy on a regular basis increase their risk of breast cancer, specifically. The abuse continues in processing.

Vice presidential debate is a draw BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor During the vice presidential debates both Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe Biden had strong points and weak points, but neither one stood out as absolute winner. Palin without a doubt has small town charm. She is easy to like and f un to listen to. And during the debate she came out with another quirky phrase, Joe Six-pack, that has already become part of the American vocabulary. However, being likeable and easy on the eyes does not necessarily make you the right woman for the job. Palin brilliantly called on all politicians who have been coified as f lip-floppers to be honest and tell the public why they vote differently today than they have in the past. A fter all, Americans do not widen the gap between the want a leader who cannot admit rich and the poor and would do when they are wrong. And a nothing for the middle class. Both of the candidates often politician who does not change their stance when evidence completely failed to answer that contradicts their* position the questions that were posed is brought to light isn't worthy and talked around the issues instead, which can only be of their position.

That depends on the middle class. Biden claimed person being asked. that McCain and Palin would impossible to avoid it, as more mainstream companies notice the craze. An estimated 60% of processed foods include soy protein isolate, a preservative. The fact of the matter is that the point of being vegetarian or vegan is to eliminate meats or all animal products from your diet, not find "innovative" ways to trick your tongue. Soy may seem like an easy way to get your daily allowance of protein, but organizations like the Vegan Society and American Vegetarian Association explain how to prepare safe, complete proteins f ree from animal and GM products. A little personal innovation never hurts, especially when health is an incentive. Illustration by Dorian A. Deptuch/The Pride Have an opinion you would like to share? Write us!

Palin supports domestic drilling as a means toward independence from foreign oil, claiming she already "broke up a monopoly" established by corporations including Exxon and ConocoPhiUips. Biden opposes drilling in favor of continued research in clean coal technology. He also maintains the position that global warming is man-made, which is "the biggest fundamental difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and Sarah Palin and Joe Biden," implying that the McCain-Palin ticket feels global warming may be attributed to natural cycles of the planet. Palin feels it necessary to take advantage of all of Alaska's oil reserves. Foreign policy discussions adopted the classic viewpoints of the GOP versus more left-winged arguments, with Palin opposing a timed withdrawal from Iraq and Biden desiring to shift responsibility to Iraqis. "We're spending $10 billion a month while Iraqis have an $80 i billion surplus," Biden continued, stating that Obama believes it is time for Iraq to spend its own money. Conversely, Palin believes that the U.S. is notfinishedin Iraq until "the Iraqi government can govern its people and when the Iraqi security forces can secure its people." Despite the expected disparity, both Sen. Biden and Gov. Palin agreed concerning gay marriage. Neither candidate believes marriage should be redefined to apply to same-sex couples, yet they do not believe a civil rights distinction between homosexual and heterosexual couples is the way to go either. Palin frankly wrapped up the discussion, declaring, "[The] question to [Biden] was whether he supported gay marriage and my answer is the same as his and it is that I do not."

Debate Questions (provided by the America Democracy Project) Climate Change According to the current US Environmental Protection Agency website, "For over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse."

Palin also made a point to accuse Obama of being "pals" with domestic terrorist, William Ayers. "This is not a man who sees America as you and I see America. We see America as a force for good in this world. We see America as a force for excep- tionalism.. .Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is paling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin said.

How to throw a wicked Halloween party BY LANCE ROSENBERGER Pride Staff Writer Throwing a good party is hard enough and a Halloween party can be even more challenging, and a lot of fun. But in order to get the right mix As it is Halloween costumes should be mandatory. Challenge the guests to get creative by hosting a costume contest with prizes for the winners. Judgment can be in various categories such as most original, scariest and best overall costume. Having awesome snacks for a Halloween party is essential. Candy is always a good standby, but don't be afraid to get creative with appetizers. Use Halloween cookie cut- ters not only to make cookies but to cut outfingersandwiches in the shapes ofmoons, bats and pumpkins. Shape cheese with a paring knife to make it look like fingers and wrap cocktail wieners in tortilla strips to look like mummy toes. The Internet also has a variety of recipe ideas for creepy food. A great sound track is essential to the perfect party, and the monster mash is a must for Halloween parties. Halloween CDs make a great, and easy, way tofillthe party with eerie music. Decorations are not only important to set the mood at a Halloween party but are a lot of fun. Cover the area with spider webs, tombstones, bats, skeletons and other Halloween decorations. And to keep the guests entertained while they mingles have a few fun activities planned, such as bobbing for apples and a pumpkin carving contest.

The economic crisis, which has dominated the nation's attention in recent days, threat­ened to postpone Friday's debate. Senator McCain sus­pended his campaign earlier this week to return to Wash­ington and help forge a resolu­tion on the government bailout plan. Senator Obama also par­ticipated in talks on the bail­out plan in the capitol, but he insisted that the debate con­tinue as scheduled. As talks the debate approached and Congress seemed close in on a plan, Sen- PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ator McCain opted to continue on with the debate. In a statement released the day of the debate, Sept. 26, Senator McCain's camp said, "The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the Senator will travel to the debate this afternoon." Though the economic crisis did not delay the debate, it did have a profound impact on what was discussed between the candi­dates. While originally slated to focus on foreign policy matters, economic crisis stole some of the spotlight at the debate. Modera­tor Jim Lehrer's first question to the two candidates was about the financial recovery plan and he did not move on to foreign policy until nearly 40 minutes later. Over the course of the 90 minute debate, the two candi­dates discussed everything from the proposed bailout plan, tax policy, alternative energy, Iraq, Iran, the Russia/Georgia conflict, meeting with foreign leaders. One of the most explosive topics between the two candi­dates was that of meeting with foreign leaders without precon­ditions. Senator McCain said of the matter ", This is dangerous. It isn't just naive, it's dangerous."

For students lucky enough to register for all the courses they needed back in April or May, the transition from summer to semes­ter could have very well gone on off without a hitch. Many other students were not so fortunate. For a sophomore student given the lowest priority finishing up lower division course require­ments could prove problematic. Consider the Marketing major applying into the College of Busi­ness for their junior year that needs to complete their requirements to get accepted. If the problem at CSUSM were only comprised of a small hand­ful of unfortunates, the crash course approach would facili­tate that need just fine. During the first two weeks of school, the campus offers an add/drop period. A crasher typically attends their desired course and, at the discre­tion of the professor, is added into the course without an issue. The real picture paints a differ­ent scenario on this ever-growing campus. Over fifteen students attempt­ing to crash a desired course are turned away because the class­room is over capacity before the first day of class. Students enrolled in courses are forced to sit on the floor because crashers have taken up residence in the limited seats. Students are stuck with nine units as opposed to their desired twelve units. Faculty are overexerted after allowing more students into an already full course. Let's backtrack to amonthago­the first week of the semester and recount the multiple stresses and magnitudes of hurdles not only students but staff and faculty bad to endure as the community col­lectively adjusted, or attempted to adjust, to the multitude of campus changes. While a whole summer was set aside to iron out the kinks and loose ends People Soft and e-mail upgrades created, the fall semester approached more quickly than possibly anticipated. The end result? More and more students could not enroll in the courses they needed before the start of the semester. The solution is simple. Offer more classes for the courses that are of high demand. Right? Wrong. Although the prospect of more options when it comes time to schedule planning sounds possi­ble, it will probably and likely do little to eliminate the issue. {(ifilJgl~ Seeing Saw Annual twists and turns BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer killer.

In the first two This fall, mov­movies, and diminishingly iegoers will once in the later flicks, the audi­again have the ence imagines being in the opportunity for victims shoes and wonders disgust by another what they would do. The installment in the killer is actually the victim Saw film series. Since 2004, the Lions Gate film studio produced yearly shocking horror films about a psychopath who challenges people in painful life-or-death 'games'. Critics debate the quality and the societal values challenged by these films, but the most intrigu­ing question concerns the appeal of these movies. One might wonder why people want to see the grotesque images portrayed and the numbing fear in Saw. There are several answers to this question based on who is viewing the movie. First, Saw and Saw II pro­vided an intriguing killer and motive. In classic and traditional horror movies, the killer is often a masked figure killing based on a personal agenda, which is usu­ally revenge. In Saw, the viewer knows the who fails to complete the brutal challenge. This is not the only twisted ele­ment. The mastermind Jigsaw is not out to kill people, but to have them painfully realize the flaws in there life. His justification is questionable, yet unique. Another appealing element is the actually shock and awe of the "games" played. The characters in the film must partake in vicious tasks to save their life. Viewers become numb to the violence and come to see what sickening ways a character will have to sacrifice their body to save their life. Similarly, those who have seen the previous movies might just see the movie only to find out what happens next. The desire to com­plete the story can outweigh out­side factors such as thinning qual­ity and disgust with the gore.

Chargers' short . n 1n • season looking grim BY BRIAN MANN Pride Staff Writer Upon entering this football season, the San Diego Char­gers looked like one of the best teams in the National Football League. They were coming off an AFC Championship Game appearance, in relatively good health, and loaded with talent. Some nationally respected pub­lications even predicted a trip to the Super Bowl. Now, with two losses in their first two games, things have changed a bit. It's too early to write them off of course, as they still have some things going for them However, they've been hit with the sort of unlucky breaks that they just can't afford ifthey are to make it to the Big Game. At this early juncture, there are three primary factors that have contributed to their dis­appointing start: Poor defense, injuries, and bad luck. 1) Poor defense This is the most concerning as it has the least to do with any poor fortune. Thus far, the Chargers have just been flat-health. 3) Bad Luck How else to explain some of the wacky things that have happened to them? In each of their first two ganies, they have lost by one point. The real kicker is what happened to them against the Denver Broncos. At the beginning ofthe game, the Chargers challenged a call that was unfavorable to them. The referees went to the replay booth to review the ·play and likely correct what appeared to be a bad call, only the replay system wasn't working, thus they could see nothing. They had to stick with the original call. Then, at the end of the game, the Chargers recovered what was an obvious fumble, only to have it called incorrectly, reviewed by the referees, then still not be rewarded with the ball, which, in effect, would have ensured a win. What are the odds of having both of these rare occurrences happen in the same game to the same team? Regardless, the Chargers have not had luck on their side •so far. I will admit that it is extremely early and the season could turn out great for the Chargers. They have quite a few talented players and their schedule looks favorable. Still, many things have to go _ their way for them to fulfill the hype they came into the season with. Will the ball bounce the Chargers' way this season? Only time will tell, but the early returns are not promis­ing. out bad on defense. They have failed to rush the opposing quarterback with any consistency, which in turn has hurt their pass defense, which currently ranks 31st out of 32 teams in the NFL, according to the North County Times. In total defense, they rank 30th out of 32-ouch. Simply put, that is not going to cut it for a team with cham­pionship aspirations. 2) Injuries One of their best players, linebacker Shawne Merri­man, is out for the season due to recent surgery for torn knee ligaments after he initially tried to play through the injury. Veterans Jamal Williams and Clinton Hart are hurt and playing, but their injuries will likely affect them throughout the -season. On offense, the once incred­ibly durable LaDainian Tom­linson has shown either some signs of wear and tear or he, much like the team, has just been unlucky. In any event, a toe sprain incurred in the season's first game put the brakes on him early. This fol­lows up the final game of last ­year, when he injured his knee against the New England Patri­ots in the AFC Championship Game. In addition to Tomlinson, two starting offensive linemen, center Nick Hardwick and left tackle Marcus McNeill, battle surgery recovery and a neck injury, respectively. Also, tight end Antonio Gates, though playing solid, still suffers from a toe injury sustained during the playoffs last season. Clearly, this is a team struggling with their at www.thecsusmpride.com Tuesday, September 30 Campus tour & information session: 10:00 AM ­ 11:30 AM Craven Hall 3701 Priority Christian Challenge group meet: 12:00 PM -01:00 PM University Hall 100 ASI Alternative Spring Break info session: 12:00 PM -01 :00 PM Markstein Hall 102 Hip-hop/African dance: 04:00 PM-05:00 PM Arts Hall 101 Wednesday, October 1 Priority Christian Challenge group meet: 04:30 PM -08:00 PM Craven Hall 3701 ASI club sport practice: 07:00 PM -09:50 PM Clarke 130 Thursday, October 2 Blood drive: 10:00 AM -03:30 PM Campus Way Circle Declining by degrees: 11:30 AM-01:00 PM Craven Hall 3701 Pizza & Politics: 12:00 PM -01 :00 PM Commons206 University outreach meeting: 02:00 PM -04:00 PM Craven Hall 3300D Friday, October 3 Sierra Vista High School group: 09:00 AM ­ 11 :50 AM University Hall 272 Borrego Springs Middle School: 09:00 AM ­ 12:00 PM Academic Hall 102 Asi Men's Intramural Basketball: 12:00 PM ­ 03:00 PM Clarke 130 Monday, October 6 Campus Tour & Information Session: 10:00 AM -11 :30 AM Craven Hall 3701 October 2008 SMTWT F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 (Email event submissions to csusmpride@gmail.com ATTN: Calendar ofEvents) High fructose com syrup Truly a sweet surprise?

More specifically, the event plans to focus on the economy's prominence in the election. "Pizza and Politics encour­ages young adults to have healthy discussions about pol­itics," said senior Business major Kyle McClellan. "I think the program is a good idea," added senior Busi­ness major Chris Choi. Pizza and Politics intends to create a sense of community on campus, stimulate a respectful dialogue on important issues of interest to the campus community, promote a diversity of perspec­tives on important issues, increase knowledge about the subject of election issues, and increase civic engagement on campus and with the larger community. "One thing we all need to learn to do is really listen to others, especially those that disagree. We might find that we have more common ground and common inter­ests than we realize," said ADP Director and Professor Pamela Stricker. Prior to events, Stricker asks students to read a selected arti­cle at www.csusm.edu/adp. The article's content presents stu4ents a chance to become aware with the topic slated for discussion. The website also contains more information regarding upcoming events. Students at CSUSM chose upcoming Pizza and Politics subjects last semester. "It is important to note that if we do disagree, we should try to do so 10 the most respectful way possible," said Stricker. From TRIBES, page 1 For years, the California tribes celebrated the fourth Friday of September by renewing their ties to the Earth and keeping alive the ways of their ances­tors. It was in 1998 when the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill No. 1953 (Baca), establishing the day as an offi­cial state holiday. Today, people of all ages celebrate California Native American Day by learn­ing more about the culture, heri­tage and traditions of the Cali­fornia Indian.>> The Dancing Cloud Drum­mers began the ceremony as the sun started to set over Library Plaza on Tuesday, Sep 23. The group performed as part of a series planned last week to cele­brate the California Indian Days. The intertribal group presented along with Pow Wow Comedy Jam, a basket weaving demon­stration, and speeches by Mike Wilden and Teodora Cuero. The lead drummer Steve Mojado of the Luiseno tribe opened the ceremony with a bless­ing of tobacco and the burning of sage. Each ofthe musicians passed the sage around to each other and to the audience before the drum­ming and singing began. The men sat around a large drum stretched with buffalo hide and began to beat in unison. Mojado began the chant with the other singers joining. In between songs the singers answered ques­tions about Native American cer­emonies, drumming, and reli­gion. Ruben Miranda of the Luiseno Tribe, is the second most experi­enced member of the group fol­lowed by Hercules Estrada of the Apache tribe and Jared Manga of the Comanche tribe. "The drum is called The Healer and is in the center of the circle representing the circle of life," Mojado said. The deep beats accompanying the standard rhythm of the song represent the prayers going up. Pictures were placed around the drum ofpeople and objects that are special to the group, "to remember them and give strength." Mojado explained that they "sing a lot of songs for solders and children," and dedicated a song to the kids in the audience about "Mickey, Minnie Mouse and Pluto too." As the kids identified the famil­iar characters smiles spread across their faces and drummer, Hercu­les Estrada remarked, "as long as they are smiling." The songs progressed and Mojado told the students, faculty, and families in attendance a story of the Grass Dances and Ribbon Dances in the American prairies and answered questions about Native culture. From DEBATE, page 1 meeting without preconditions, responded by saying ", When we talk about preconditions ...the idea is that we do not expect to solve every problem before we initiate talks." Senators Obama and McCain sparred throughout the eve­ning, challenging each others records and statements with little restraint. As the night progressed however, it became clear that nei­ther candidate had delivered a decisive blow to the other. Following the debates, much of the media has coalesced on the outcome of the debate as a tie. The two candidates success­fully played to their advantages with Senator Obama garner­ing more support on economic issues and Senator McCain on foreign policy issues. On which candidate "would make the right decisions about Iraq" it was 56% for Senator McCain and 48% for Senator Obama. 66% of viewers thought Senator Obama would "make the right decisions about the economy", 42% said the same about Senator McCain. Despite the press calling the debate a tie, polls indicate that Senator Obama emerged as the winner to viewers and voters. A CNN poll taken immediately after the debates found that 51% of viewers saw Senator Obama winning the debate while 38% thought Senator McCain to be the victor. Similarly, a USA Today/ Gallup poll also found Senator Obama winning 46% to Senator McCain's 34%. CBS conducted a survey on uncommitted voters after the debate and found that 39% thought Obama won the debate, compared to 24% for Senator McCain. Though there is still debate over who was the winner of Fri­day's debate, Senator Obama has strengthened his lead in the national polls. Gallup, Ras­mussen, Los Angeles Times/ Bloomberg, CBS, CNN, and several others report Obama has widened his lead by several points. Senator Joe Biden and Gov­ernor Sarah Palin will meet this coming Thursday, Oct. 2 for the first and only vice-presidential debate of the election. Senators McCain and Obama will meet next in Nashville, TN on Oct. 7 for a town-hall style discussion moderated by Tom Brokaw. M = ... Cl) .Q E Cl) I r Q.

The study abroad program at CSUSM has just added one a new opportunity to its array of inter­national exchange programs. Daegu University (DU) located in South Korea is offering a pro­posal to CSUSM students inter­ested in studying abroad at DU by providing free housing, an oppor­tunity to earn college credit, free tuition for one year, and complete reimbursement of roundtrip air fare, according to the new agree­ment signed by CSUSM Presi­dent Karen S. Haynes and DU President Yong Doo Lee. • DU University and CSUSM have been working together to amplify the study abroad program and encourage more students to consider studying overseas. "CSUSM students are awarded a scholarship that reimburses air • fare, provides free housing, and pays a stipend of $125-$150 per week to those students who participate in the English part­ner internship program," said Jan Stockey, CSUSM's Study Abroad Advisor. "One CSUSM student reported that he actually made enough money to travel and return home with cash in his pocket." "Daegu is a beautiful, green city surrounded by mountains," Stockey said. "It is known as a transportation hub that connects the nation and is about 75 miles from Busan , South Korea 's second largest city." "Everyone should study abroad!" said Aeriel Poorman, a student worker at the Office of Global Education at CSUSM. "CSUSM makes it really easy to study abroad, you don't really have to do a lot, they do it for you." The program is available for either one or two semesters, typi­cally during the fall and spring. All college credit earned while in Korea will be recorded on the CSUSM transcript and can be used to fulfill upper division GE and all graduation requirements. Also paid work experience is available for those who choose to help Korean students practice conversational English. Students interested in studying abroad either in Korea or another country should contact the Office of Global Education located in Craven Hall 3200, make an appointment to meet with the Study Abroad Advisor and com­plete a Study Abroad Credit Approval Form to assure that stu­dents will receive the credit they want for the courses they will take abroad. Students must be in upper divi­sion standing (60 units+), have been attending CSUSM for more than one semester, and have a 2.75 GPA or higher, according to the eligibility requirements for the DU study abroad program. Application deadlines are typi­cally Oct. 1 for the spring semes­ter and April 1 for the fall semes-. ter.

Ask the Sexperts BY CRYSTAL EVANS Pride Staff Writer Student Health & Counseling Services began a new series titled Ask the SEXperts that will be held throughout the school year. Each lecture in the series will address a different topic related to sex and sexuality, from the different contraceptive methods to exploring one's own sexuality to different toys that can be used to enhance sexual activity. ''We want to educate students about their own sexuality," Health Educator Cathy Nguyen said. "We want them to become SEXperts themselves and be more knowl­edgeable about sex." The first lecture in the series was on different contraceptive methods and STD protection for use by both men and women. "I thought it was very useful information," student Salud Meza said. "It helps if you don't have experience with con­traceptives and if you have doubts about what you're doing. They are health educators so we know the information they're giving us is true, it's the facts." The main focus of the lecture was on teaching students the proper way to use contraceptives and bar­riers to keep students from having unwanted pregnancies and also to prevent getting and spreading sexu­ally transmitted infections. "People have been lulled into a false sense of security," Nurse I>ractitioner Kathleen Blattner said. ''Their partner will tell them they've been tested and are clean so they think they won't get anything. The bottom line is condoms, condoms, condoms. A lot ofpatients come in sad and angry that they've gotten an STD but the guy probably doesn't what he has." Blattner said that sexually active students who want to protect them­selves should always use condoms in addition to another form of birth control. As condoms are the most effective way to prevent the spread ofdisease and birth control not 100 percent effective. Even though many people are not taking appro­priate steps to pro­tect themselves and their partners, Blattner said she is encouraged about the chang­ing trends among young people in regards to their UniversityVoice sexual health. "Men and women are so much more responsible about getting tested and being open with their partners," Blattner said All ofthe health experts stressed the fact that each individual needs to take responsibility into their own hands. Students who rely on their partners to practice safe sex and do not actively engage in safe sex prac­tices themselves are putting them­selves at a greater risk for STDs and pregnancy. The next Ask the SEXperts lec­ture will be on sexuality and will focus on the different issues that face not only straight but gay, les­bian and transgender couples. The lecture will be held from noon-1 p.m. Oct. 21 in University Hall 337. . What other degree programs or classes would you like offered at CSUSM! "I wish we had Industrial Organizational Psychology.

You. don't have to cross the border to get some authen­tic Mexican grub, Escondido is hiding one of the best Mexi­can food restaurants in North County. Though notorious for having a vast sea of Mexican restaurants, Lourdes in Escondido stands well above the average Alberto's taco shop. Lourdes, Located between Escondido Blvd and 'J1h Avenue, serves the "Best Chicken Soup in Town," as their slogan says. Lourdes serves burritos, carni­tas, and yes, the very best chicken soup in town. Lourdes is a family operated restaurant and that family feel definitely transcends into their food. Lourdes's chicken soup can be described as a comfort food. Served with sliced avocado, tender chicken and your choice of corn or flour tortillas, the soup is an excellent meal that tastes home made. Just like watching the Price is Right in the morning when you're sick, Lourdes chicken soup is a perfect comfort food to help you feel better. Jolly Rodger Amber Ale BY JONATHAN E. because of the closer THOMPSON location. Pride Staff Writer The brothers utilize a self-constructed mash and Brothers Adrian, lautertun all grain system a Senior Business that cost under $1,000. Major at CSUSM, The system produces up and Brandon Siem­to 5 gallons per batch, or inski brew and 26 bottles containing 22 bottle homemade crafted Jolly Rodger Amber Ale out of their home in San Marcos, California. Both brothers consider them­selves beer enthusiasts. After a recent trip to Europe, they decided to try the art of home brewing. They also credit the local brew­ing scene in San Diego as another influence. With only five months of oper­ating out of their home, the two have produced many batches including Jolly Rodger. They plan to produce more batches and work on the art ofcraft brewing. Ifpos­sible, they would eventually like to expand their home setup to sell to the public, as many breweries have done in the past. The adventure began with a visit to Greg Koch, chairman and CEO of Stone Brewing Company located in Escondido, California. He referred them to Home Brew Mart in San Diego, California. The company's website www. homebrewmart.com offers infor­mation and products for home brewers. Recently, the brothers began buying their supplies from Hydro Brew in Oceanside, California fluid ounces of brew. The process takes about 3 weeks. The raw materials required to produce each batch, from ingre­dients to bottles, runs about $30. $30 might buy five bottles ofbeer at a retail store such as BevMo. A semi thick fluid pours from the dark brown glass bottle featuring a black and white label with a dead pirate and bis swords.

BYADAMLOWE Pride Staff Writer Local OC band, Hollowell, who has toured the world, includ­ing three tours overseas for our troops, was given the chance to play an industry showcase in Nashville, Tennessee and lucky me, I was brought along for the ride. Some of the events that occurred were crazy, some mellow, but most were hilari­ously memorable. We began on Friday, the 12th in the afternoon. Consequently, this was around the same time as the tragic Metrolink collision. Allow me to offer my sym­pathy to anyone with family or friends involved in that horrible accident. So as we worked between packing the van and watching the news, we realized it was time to head out. We were finally on the road by 6pm, and were pretty excited for the events to soon unfold, but not about being in that van for 4,000+ miles. What gave us the necessary encouragement, however, was the idea of country-wide fans cheer­ing the band on. So into the night we drove. We pulled into Amarillo, Texas in the early afternoon on Satur­day. As we ate lunch, we asked the waitress if any bars in the area had live music. Iris told us of a few places; so after lunch, we set out to find a show to play. One bar had promise, but fell through. Finally, we drove up to Hoots Pub and saw a band unloading their gear, and decided to give it a shot. "Hey! You guys interested in an opener?" Joe offered. With­out asking what kind of music, or to hear the music, the Tommy Gallagher Band, the big cheese in town, welcomed us, and were stoked to have us play. Hollowell took the stage and completely rocked. In such a country-music oriented town, for a rock band from OC to come and tear up the stage with original music and phenomenal covers, it was amazing, and the crowd response was inspiring. After finishing their set, the owner of the bar, along with at least ten other individuals from around town, invited Hollow­ell back for a tour of the bars and clubs in the area. Hollow­ell rocked Hoots Pub, got paid ­which was unexpected but appre­ciated -packed up the gear and headed back out on the road to Nashville. We stopped in Memphis for lunch on Sunday. The sights are amazing, the people are kind, and The menu is full of tradi­tional Mexican meals, taquitos, soft tacos, came asada burritos, and quesadillas. Though they all seem quite ordinary, these meals are uniquely made with hints oftrue Mexican flavors. Ingredients such as crispy tortillas, freshly made salsa and hints of lime flavoring all add to the unique recipes that Lourdes uses to create great, authentic Mexican food. Lourdes's appeal as a restau­rant doesn't come from a fancy menu or fancy decor inside, it has become famous through its reputation of good food. Del Taco, La Salsa, nor Santana's can compete with the authenticity of Lourdes. Lourdes isn't a chain restau­rant, you won't find one any­where except Escondido. Lourdes has charm and char­acter that other Mexican res­taurants cannot reproduce. So, if you are looking for some friendly authentic Mexi­can grub, you can find it at Lourdes. the entire atmosphere is intoxi­cating. After lunch, we walked around town for a little bit, saw a live band playing, which was truly awesome, in the original sense of the word. We were going to visit Graceland and be tourists for a bit, but I guess it's closed on Sunday evenings. We enjoyed the city, nonethe­less, and then traveled on. We drove into the downtown district of Nashville around 6pm that night. Before deciding to find a cheap hotel to actually sleep for the night, we drove around, look­ing for the place we'd be going the next morning for the show­case, RocketTown, a cool little club in the heart of the city. The next morning, after some much needed sleep, we headed over to RocketTown. We heard a bunch of bands that were less than pleasing; some who were decent. Their time came to play and Hollowell opened with "Naked," the first track off their EP, Are You Waiting?, followed by the ever melodic tune, "Emily," and they closed the showcase with the most excellent revamped version of their monster ballad, "Safe." They brought down the house with these three songs. But in the opinion of the three representa­tives at the showcase, there were things they could work on as a band. So with their polite criti­cism, we decided to grab some genuine Tennessee BBQ before heading back on the road. The long drive home was shorter than the initial drive, and we made it back by Tuesday night -a quick 2,000 miles if you ask me. Looking back, there are amaz­ing things we all learned. We made amazing contacts in Texas and are planning another tour there very soon. We met very talented musicians from all over the country. Most importantly, though, Photo by Adam Lowe and Hollowell we learned that no matter what, it's important to hold on to your dreams. Whether people love or hate you, ifyou keep your dreams close, you will one day reach out and grab them.

THE PRIDE BY PRISCILLA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer "Someone is always watching you. Someone can control your surroundings and manipulate you." These concepts were first seen in George Orwell's book 1984, and are now the basis for the movie Eagle Eye, which is directed by D.J Caruso and produced by Steven Spielberg. Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) are just two ordinary citizens who are suddenly "activated", framed as terrorists, and quickly become the top two on the nations' most wanted list. With an unknown caller dictating their every move, the two are forced to protect their lives and family by performing dangerous acts without questions. Precise timing and complete obedience are key to their survival. The penalty, death. Disobeying is tough and near impossible, especially since their surroundings are eerily manipulated to control their actions and suit the caller's particular needs. No matter where they go or what they do, Shaw and Holloman can not escape the callous, cryptic caller. In this race against all odds Images retreivedfrom Dreamworks Pictures Live Free or Die Hard. Other than one small scene that has some off-color language near the beginning, the rest is pretty clean, action packed and fast paced. This action thriller is full of nail-biting, "on the edge of your seat" thrills and suspense. In addition, it is comprised of spectacular visual effects, hand to hand combat and, of course, tons of car crashes and fiery explosions. The characters, a secluded slacker and a struggling single mom, are very real and brilliantly portrayed. If you love action, suspense and thrills, I totally recommend this movie. I really enjoyed it. Eagle Eye is rated PG-13 by the MP AA, has a running time of 118 minutes, and came out in theaters last Friday, September 26th.

There are so many artist performing in, redefining, and blending various genres, it is difficult to not find something that suits your taste. However, along with that, is the overall loathing and despising of other genres and artists by individuals. Yet back in the 1960's there was a music phenomenon, everyone loved The Beatles. When I say that, I know not 'everyone' loved The Beatles. However, the fans outweighed the opposed. At concerts and album releases, there was an absolute f renzy of fanatics. People o ften refer to this as 'Beatle-mania.' The obsessive nature of Beatle f ans was unlike anything ever seen. They were one of the main contributors to the 'British Invasion,' the massive flood of British music coming to the United States. They had a massive fan base that spanned the world. Their fame has lived on well past their career. Albums and paraphernalia are still high selling items worldwide. Their influence on the music world is incalculable. They revolutionized the album making process by composing songs themselves, and though they were not the first to do so, they made it the standard. Traces of their music style can still be heard in modern music. Music critics hail their work as more than music, but actual art. In the mid to mid-late 20th century, this was commonplace in the music scene. Beatles fans were not the only ones raging over the band. Other artist, such as Bob Dylan, Elvis, and Johnny Cash were j ust as big, then and now. And this raises questions about where this activity has gone. No longer are album stores flooded on the day of release. No longer do concerts become a f renzy of helpless love for the performer. This says something about the caliber of the quality of music being made today. For years there has not been an artist that has had the same glory as The Beatles or other artist of their time. I find it laughable that the Internet is filled with comments and postings that the Jonas Brothers are the new Beatles. The Brothers' f an base consists mostly of preteens and youths. They do not have the same appeal to all ages as the Beatles. Without a doubt, The Beatles are the greatest musical artists ever. They have made a mark commercially and socially that has not, and likely will never, be topped. THE PRIDE Letter to CSUSM cries wolf the editor I call foul BY GINA P. KEETON Years from now, when I look back upon my educational experience here at CSUSM, I will remember the many wonderful professors I have had who aided in shaping the ideas and thoughts I hold. However, in pertaining to the school itself, I will have only bitter memories. I think many individuals can agree that the unification efforts at this University are poor. "Cougar Pride" is most likely something that exists for a miniscule minority. There are virtually no sports and no common enemy for the CSUSM population to feel as one. Ironically enough, the only rallying efforts at this school involve fighting the California State University budget cuts. First off, this being my opinion, I want to make it clear that I understand the CSU system had been marginally hit by this lack of funds. Nevertheless, I still believe that CSUSM is not suffering as much as they want us to believe. These "budget cuts" are being used as a pathetic excuse to cheat the students out of more money. Now why am I calling foul on the school for their pleas to reduce the cuts? It is a multitude of things really. Individual incidents that one could just as easily turn their back on as coincidence. Yet if you really take a step back and look at certain things with a new perspective, you can see the bigger picture in which everything is intertwined. Over the summer a Professor mentioned that the school had spent an enormous amount of money to change from the trusty Smart Web system to theflawed,yet more visually attractive, MyCSUSM. Then in the weeks approaching the fell semester, the e-mail server switched and the school's homepage got an unneeded makeover. So why is it that a school that is suffering for money happened to splurge on superficial remodeling? To make up for the budget cuts . the school has cut GE courses in which seniors who are graduating this fell still need but cannot get into. The school is not allowing transfer students this spring supposedly in response to the cuts. To top it all off, the school's offices are infested with incompetent workers. Preceding this semester I had serious issues with the Veteran's office, Financial Aid and Scholarships, the Cashiers, and even the Registrar. After weeks of trying to get these issues resolved and having no success, I went to the Dean of Students. By the next morning I received seven phone calls either telling me that my complaint had np merit and I don't know what I'm talking about or kissing up to my derriere with an incredible amount of force. In the end, the problems were resolved after much stress and hardship. However, I cannot forget the many lies I was told, the fact that they kept a large scholarship check of mine to collect interest on, and the many individuals I went through that did not have a clue of what was going on in their own office. Maybe what the school needs to do, instead of trying to get State funding, is take a good look at their budget and try to clean up the wrongs inside the school, instead of giving it a shiny new website.

It's no longer a overall temperature of the earth question of if it exists, but what increased. impact it is having. Casual observation would Several studies have concluded seem to tell us the human impact that global warming has not had a measurable impact on hurricane intensity. A study released earlier this month by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, a partner of the Department of Commerce's the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, concluded "that despite statistical correlations between SST [Sea Surface Temperature] and Atlantic hurricane activity in recent decades, it is premature to conclude that human activity—and particularly greenhouse warming-has already had a discernible impact on Atlantic hurricane activity." The belief that a line has been drawn in the sand may not be as realistic or influential as one might think. In July 2006, Christopher Landsea of NOAA challenged the scientific community's attempt to connect global warming with hurricane intensity on the grounds that there simply was not a comprehensive enough body of data to make such a claim with any sort of accuracy. Older hurricane data is regarded as incomplete and shoddy, making it difficult to lend itself to the long term examination of global warming on hurricanes. It seems obvious then to ask yourself why all of this matters. If we are unable to say with certainty or anything remotely close to it that the hurricane disasters of late are by our own making, how is this an issue we need to take seriously? Not having enough evidence to make the case isn't an excuse for continuing to allow global warming to worsen. The only reason why the science isn't quite where it should be is because there isn't enough to be measured yet. I am not comfortable with gambling on that uncertainty after witnessing a string of devastating hurricanes compromise the safety and well being of my fellow Americans. The costs in lives and in damages if we continue to sidestep the possibility of global warming effects on hurricane intensity are easily avoidable if we as Americans and citizens of the world take the proper measures to make sure this ceases to be an issue. If we continue to idly stall until we achieve absolute certainty then the blood of America's hurricane victims will be on our hands and ours alone. �FEATURES THE PRIDE Some of CSUSM's youngest students still in diapers BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Located adjacent to the UPD building off La Moree Road is one of CSUSM's newest resources. The Center for Children and Families just celebrated its one-year anniversary at the beginning of this month. While the site is a childcare center, it offers a wide range of services. According to Francesca Gallozzi, the director of the center, they offer childcare and preschool experience. They are open to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, or about the age of kindergarten. The center is certified to care for infants who are less than 24 months, as well as being certified for children over 2 years until junior preschool and pre-k. Though the center is affiliated with CSUSM, it is open to the community. According t o Gallozzi, about 60% of the children are from the community, though students, staff and faculty have priority in enrollment. The children are cared for by fully qualified teachers at low ratio of children to teacher, which they are proud of, she said. Several workers happen to be students, though they must meet several requirements. Other features include all meals cooked on site for the children. The center is also a learning lab for the university for students who study child development. Gallozzi is pleased with the growth of the center, and she is looking for more ways to reach out. When the center opened, there were only 23 children, and enrollment is currently more than 120. "The school hasn't fully realized the opportunities for engagement at the center," she said. One program implemented in the center is the 'Cougars to Cubs' program. Student and staff can arrange a visit to the center to teach children about their field. Through this, both parties may benefit from the experience. Another program recently s tarted is the 'Celebrity Readers Program.' The center invites notable staff and community members to the center to bring their favorite book and read to the children. President Haynes was the first to participate in the event. The center will also collaborate with the University Village to host a Halloween carnival for the children this fall, a tradition started last year. The Childrens' Creative Learning Center (CCLC) is the parent company of the center. According to their website, the CCLC is a nationwide company managing childcare centers since 1992. Their emphasis is on centers for working families that provide learning experience. "We're really exited to be here and excited about growth," said Gallozzi. Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Catholic Club gains popularity BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The club became official in March 2008. Club President Phil Hoffman and Vice President Nate McWeeney head the organization. Jenny Doherty handles communications by reaching out to all interested students. Seven other officers comprise the group. The club holds biweekly meetings every first and third Wednesday of the month at 7PM in Dorm Building C Meeting Room 1. On Wednesday the 24th, they are meeting with another Christian club on campus called Intervarsity at 7PM at the Clark Field House in Room 110. "It's popular for Catholic students to look for schools with Catholic clubs. I wish we had one when I started," said Hoffman. Hoffman and others met with a few deities in San Diego before forming the club. The deities gave support and funding for the CSUSM Catholic club. The churches even sent members from the group on retreats to train and help them with leadership. The club's mission aims to unite Catholics on campus. The group also wants to enable students to have a good Christian experience on campus and unite them with church. Eventually they want to establish a Newman Center on campus. The center provides a place of worship for Catholic students. The club intends to host a concert on campus next semester as well. "I think it's great that CSUSM students are keeping our faith alive," said Senior Management Major Suzette Monroyo. 60 students attended thefirstactual meeting back in April. Since then, more than 90 students joined the club's mailing list. For more information visit www.facebook. com/group.php?gid=29877041253 or send e-mail to csusmcatholicclub@gmail.com. "All are welcome. We can make people's college experiences a memorable one with friends and the opportunity to grow spiritually," said Hoffman. HBB Classifieds Paper due? Dictate your paper.

"The importance ofhigher education to the state's future is not lost entirely on our state legislators and the governor. In response to intense pressure by supporters of the CSU, they restored some $97 million to the CSU system in the May budget revision.

At CSUSM, the Career Center, located in Craven 1400, offers numerous resources to help with the process. Pamela K. Wells, the Associate Director of the Career Center and a Career Counselor, offers these tips. • Practice the interview. If enough time is available, schedule a mock interview in the career center. Students have the opportunity to practice an interview with a counselor. He or she should come dressed appropriately and with personal information such as resume and cover letter. The session can be scheduled for one hour and consist of at most a 30 minute interview, which can be recorded and bought for $3, but is not mandatory. A debriefing follows this and the student can receive feedback. If the timing of the interview does not allow for a mock interview, students can also practice online. Through the Career Center's website, www.csusm.edu/ careers, students have access to a program called 'Perfect Interview.' This online tool has students respond to typical interview questions. It can utilize a computer's webcam to record and playback a student's response, or answers can be typed into a text box. Either way, students can view appropriate responses to the questions. • Be ready with information about yourself Knowing one's strengths is an important way to show that he or she will be a good addition. Along with knowing strengths, the interviewee should be ready with specific examples about using these skills in the work- place. Using the STAR formula can leave a positive impression. Be able to frequently describe a Situation and Task, as well as the Action taken and Result to show off one's strengths. In addition, it is recommended that the interviewee know about the job they are going for. He or she should be familiar with the job description. As well, it is a good idea to be familiar with the position and company. • Make a strong first impression The first few seconds of the interview are critical. One should wear clean, pressed, and fitting business or business casual clothes, based on the interview. The interviewee should know the traffic and the route taking so that he or she can find parking and be on time. • Be memorable. Often interviewers will ask if one has any questions for them. It looks good when one asks specific relevant questions because it shows interest in the position. In addition, the interviewee should ask about what the next step is, when he or she will hear back, and take a business card. Using the ^information on the card, one should write a thank you for the time in the interview. Use the Career Center Besides the Mock Interview, the Career Center has many more resources online and in their office. Their 'Career Guide' offers information to get started on the job hunt and finer details about interviewing, such as the best way to give an answer, things not to say, and fine details on dressing. If a company offers you an interview that means you look good on paper and the interviewer wants to see more of your personality. Be confident, be yourself, and good luck!

Attington rejects virtual reality video games and reality television sponsorship offers, instead choosing to take the moral high ground and surf for the fun of it. One day, while out on the surf, the waves suddenly stop and stay that way, a worst nightmare for any surfer. The wave drought causes Attington to lose his big sponsorship deals, forcing him to either give in to the virtual reality world or wait around for the waves to come. Also starring Woody Harrelson, Scott Glenn, Willie Nelson, and Alexie Gilmore. The Pride caught up with Surfer, Dude director S.R.

Whatever those things are. We're going to be a proverbiallyflabbysociety in our minds. When a machine breaks, some people are stunned. They're done. If the computer breaks, people go crazy. Somebody's Blackberry goes out and they're lost. I don't know what to do. How does your lead character in the film (Attington) reflect what is going on in the world today? S.R.B.—How does a nature guy, someone that is tapped into nature, deal the fact that his nature gets taken away from him? We use the waves as metaphor to nature. Nature goes away. For Attington, the waves go away. M.M.—He's landlocked. Stuck in a world where the only thing that makes sense is this digital world and his only access to get the thing that he loves, this very natural thing called a wave, is to go down and live in this 'reality' house—to digitize himself for thisfreesurfer game. He's not a moralist going 'No, I don't like that.' He's just going 'That's really not for me, man. I'm a surfer out there, under the sun. I'm not really into that.' You look at reality TV now. Its this huge craze and hugely successful but we all know it's not real. Its false drama and we love watching it and it's a turn on but its not really happening. I've never seen The Hills. The Food Network's got some good ones. S.R.B.—How would a guy who is authentic deal with these inauthentic realities? We thought that would be an interesting juxtaposition. M.M.—Every surfer's worst nightmare is when they're stuck and there's no waves. So, they can go and they've all been there before. They can go laugh at me going crazy and know that when they get out of the theater hopefully there's some swell of their own. So, in that way, it is an—not anti-surf film—but a non-surf film. We surf in the beginning and then the waves go away. So you wore the same board shorts for the whole movie? M.M.—It was the greatest wardrobe ever. He's (Attington) not even coherent that maybe there's that manners and grace that you should wear a shirt indoors. He doesn't even think that way. He's in the office, no shirt, shoes. He doesn't even notice. We asfilmmakersnever made a connotation or note to it. So that's part of our humor as well. People may go 'Oh McConaughey's got His shirt off again,' but that's what's kind of funny about it. I did it a whole movie, all the way through. It was great. What makes this a good movie for the fall? M.M.—We're trying to catch the end of summer and hopefully give you some of that Sunkist fun. Surfing is sort of a backyard sport in San Diego. Why should surfers go see this movie? GRADUATE P SYCHOLOGY PROGRAMS • APA-accredited Psy.D.

Koga's petite f rame hiding the deep waters of creativity flowing beneath. Koga is a senior in the Literature and Writing program here at CSUSM with an emphasis in writing. When asked what inspired her to write she confesses that a school report written by her sister on the i nfamous Bonnie and Clyde, Koga learned that Bonnie was a poet and that attracted her to poetry. Photo by Kathryn McBrayer/The Pride From there the writings of E.E. Cummings, Charles Bukowski, Lewis Carroll, Jim Morrison, Jack Kerouac "helped steer [her] writing in different directions, and exposed [her] to different techniques that never crossed my mind before." Although Koga's main form of expression is poetry she has recently been exploring screen writing and the novel. Koga hopes to own a publishing company and be able to support herself with writing. Before the publishing end of writing takes her main focus away Koga wants to complete an MFA in creative writing but insists, "no matter where my publishing company/MFA plans take me, I will always be writing." Koga began creatively writing at around the age of 12 and admits that it has been an "essential form of communication." Writing for Koga is not achieved in the textbook classical form of development. Koga writes in stream of consciousness and uses words as a source for emotional expression. Koga says o fthe writing process, "Most of the time I sit down with a blank brain and see what comes out." Koga enjoys poetry for they way a "singular word will express whole sen- tences or paragraphs of meaning." Koga is less thrilled with the revision process of poetry because she finds it can be a tremendous e ffort. Koga usually will write a piece and hedge self-editing until a few months later. Koga allows the poem/story per- colate in her mind and then go back to it for editing. Wherever the writing/publishing world takes Koga f rom CSUSM its safe to say the j ourney has j ust begun. A sampling of Koga's poems can be found in the " Pride" on line.

Held in the East Village, behind Petco Park, this all-ages event attracted alcohol enthusiasts, parents with their pre teen youngster and a variety of eccentric indie rockers together for the love of music. Friday's lineup hosted more alternative sounds then years before, such as headlining act Beck. Cat Power and MGMT were also big names on the line up for Friday.

Later on in the night, MGMT, a band whose trendy 80's beats are very much keen to the Flaming Lips melodic tones, took the Zarabanda Stage at 5:45 PM and played a 45 minute set. The stage was set at the end of a narrow street, which was lined with apartment complexes, which did not help with the acoustics, ings, the fest is begging to be heard. And so it was. Saturday seemed to flow more smoothly than Friday. The food was prepared more quickly, the bands started and ended on time, the traffic was better. It seemed that after only one day the festival was familiar to people, a short lived home awayfromhome. The four stages, named after popular music venues around San Diego, were rooted in the streets, becoming a part of the neighborhood. As the second half of bands began around 4:30, the weather was noticeably cooler than the day before, a sharp contrast against the heat of the lights and warmthfromthe sea of bodies. The Whigs kicked the doors open with their own brand of classic radio rock. Their set woke people up and excitement was back in the air.

As the night began to draw to a close, out with the moon came the headlining acts to top of the festival. The National closed out the Fulana stage, their inspirational set being a highlight of the day for many fans. Immediately after on the Fulano stage, 80's new wavers Devo hit the stage, bringing nostalgia into the new millennium with style. As thefinalnotes of their set rang around the festival, it seemed to be a perfectfitto an event that has been going on for 24 years, where genres of the past and present collide, creating an atmosphere of musical bliss.

Men's Soccer Evens Record to 3-3 BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer Coming off a heartbreaking loss to UCSD, the Cougars showed the most confidence they have all year and defeated Azusa Pacific University, the defending national champions, and Kansas Wesleyan, both 1-0 with late dramatic goals. Infrontofthelargestcrowdofthe year, the Cougars (1-3), scratched and clawed their way through the first half of play 0-0 against #7 APU, helping to build their confidence for the second half. After many opportunities, Brandon Zuniga was fouled in the box in the 65th minute, to set up a penalty kick to try and give the Cougars a 1-0 lead Christian Soares, who scored a PK against UCSD in their previous game, was stopped with a lackluster attempt on the PK. 'When a penalty is stopped, it's usually a backbreaker," said Coach RonPulvers. But the Cougars' backs were not broken, just three minutes later, Michael Nuovo, let loose a laser shot off a loose ballfrom25 yards out to give the Cougars the game winning goal. After the longest four minutes of stoppage time and the Blue Crew changing "Blow the whistle", the game wasfinallycalled and the fans erupted after the phenomenal upset victory. "This was the greatest soccer game I've been to at CSUSM," said Junior Rhys Morgan, "and I've been here since day one". In their second game of the week, the Cougars had another nail-biter against Kansas Wesleyan, defeating them 1-0, in what can only be called an ugly game. The game was physicalfrombeginning to the end, with seven yellow cards being called, mostly against Kansas Wesleyan. The Cougars had a plethora of chances, two by Senior Co-Captain Greg Reese, one was nullified by an offsides call and later another off a cross by Jose Rivas to Greg Reese, which was hit off the crossbar. "When you miss chances early on," said Pulvers, "you give the other team confidence". Finally, in another goal in the 68th minute, a throw-in from Troy Skomra, was played into the box and Greg Reese capitalized on it and the ball somehow made it into the corner of the net Now (3-3), the Cougars have another home game against Point Loma this Wed. �T HE^PRIDE I M I O M I STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF VIRI DIANA PACHECOISAAC MANAGING EDITOR BEN M ROFFEE NEWS EDITOR JACKIE CARBAJAL FEATURES EDITOR CRYSTAL EVANS ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR KATHRYN MCBRAYER OPINION EDITOR AMY SALISBURY COPY EDITOR TIFFANIE H OANG LAYOUT EDITOR NICKSTRIZVER ASSISTANT LAYOUT EDITOR RUDY MARTINEZ ONLINE MANAGER JACKIE CARBÁJAL BUSINESS MANAGER & SALES REPRESENTATIVE KRISTINA LAWLER P 1 E D# S S .

Amethyst Initiative initiates controversy A lowered age limit is not the solution BY ROXANNE EUSEBIO Pride Staff Writer It has been 24 years since Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act (1984), an act that raised the purchase and public possession of alcohol from 18 to 21 years old. Today, some college presidents across the country are trying to lower the drinking age back to 18 due to incidents such as illegal means of obtaining alcohol and college binge drinking. These college presidents that want to lower the drinking age take part in the Amethyst Initiative. According to its website, Amethystlnitiative.org, it is unfair for adults who are under 21 to not purchase alcoholic beverages since adults 18 to 20 are eligible to vote and enlist in the military. They also insist alcohol education has not taken effect on students. While the website's explanations may sound reasonable, it does not take into consideration the consequences of lowering the drinking age. For instance, if the drinking age was to drop, it is likely that the number of alcohol-related accidents will increase two or three times. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said each year 55-58 % of highway accidents are related to alcohol. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 670,000 people are injured due to alcohol-related accidents. Just think of the numbers rising if the new drinking age were to be 18 instead of 21. A cruise down the highway could be even more dangerous than it sounds. College presidents believe that binge drinking occurred because of the high drinking age. I believe that if you lower the drinking age, binge drinking will never cease to exist, especially when more people will have very easy access to alcohol. This easy access will only cause more people to binge. More people binging means more people having their stomachs pumped or getting alcohol poisoning. If lowering the age will just release a great deal of problems, the law should stay solid to its original creed. Therefore, the drinking age should not be dropped. Sure 18-20 year olds want to drink alcohol, but they must know how to drink responsibly. There are still people out there who abuse alcohol, and they do not recognize the damage they are putting on themselves. While it is okay to drink, there should be a limit. Adults should know when to stop. If adults are really adults, then they would know when to make the right decisions. Until then, the drinking age will and should stay 21 and those underage will just have to wait for a couple more years or drink privately. A special note from the Editor-in-Chief: Ethics By Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac Editor-in-Chief Pick an opinion—any opinion—• and it is guaranteed that someone out there will disagree with you. We can never please everyone, and that is okay. The beauty of this country is that we have something called freedom of expression, and, when used appropriately, can be a beautiful thing. It is the obligation of the media to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and points of view, however popular or unpopular they may be. The opinion section of a newspaper, for example, serves as a haven of f ree speech, and oftentimes hosts such an exchange in search of robust and vibrant ideology, sparking discussion and drawing new ideas to improve our society. It is also the obligation of the media to hold people accountable for his/her actions without the use of sensationalism, slanderous or libelous content. It is our obligation to be t ruthful, to celebrate the accomplishments and progressiveness of our society and com- munities, and to also demand are exempt because they are answers when our govern- not "professionals." ments and administrators t ry In fact, any student j ournalto do us wrong. ist in a University of CaliforIn such a tight-knit com- nia, California State University munity such as Cal State San or California Community ColMarcos, however, this could lege system is protected under turn tricky. the California Constitution as Being a student journal- any legitimate member of the ist—especially at such a small press.

A newspaper belongs to the readers, and those in charge of it have the responsibility to acknowledge such a fact and make sure the execution of free speech is done in a manner that is ethical, moral and fair, by making the distinction between opinion and fact. Each section of the newspaper serves a different purpose. The opinion section of a newspaper for example, is simply that—opinions. In no way is it to serve a purpose such as that of the front page, sports, entertainment or features sections, though all have the same responsibilities discussed before The editors at The Pride share such a responsibility. In many ways, it is an obstacle to decide to write about things that are controversial and may cause tension among our peers. But we must. If we do not, we will not be upholding our ethics to the highest standards like we vowed to do when we decided to be journalists. If we do not, we are not being fair. And if we are not being fair, we cannot be journalists. �Women's Center Campus recreation A place for all students opportunities By Kathryn McBrayer A&E Editor Walking into the ASI Women's Center arouses a sense of comfort and a safe placet Information leaflets line the walls and table in the entrance, but the first thing to really catch the eye is the three soft couches centered in the room inviting students to take a break and just "be." A private space is available for people who need to get away for a moment weather to breast feed, cry or take a nap. "There is no time limit for people" says Hermi Ramirez, the Women's Center community outreach leader "We love it when people come in just to eat their lunch." The Women's center does not cater just to women, but all students are welcome to cruise into the center for information on health issues, social justice and so much more. Lindsay Riedel, operations coordinator, says "the Women's Center serves so many different purposes." The center provides crisis counseling and referrals for professional recourses and legal advice. It also offers practical help for students such as f ree condoms, tampons, dental dams and an electric breast pump that can be rented for the semester or just the afternoon. Free pregnancy tests are available along with emergency packages intended to provide essentials for women who need to get through a few days. Text books are also available for rent for the semester. The ASI Women's Center is sponsoring several events throughout the semester. This month they will be hosting InterACT on September 17th in Arts 240 a piece intending to educate about sexual assault, Sep 25th National Women's Health and Fitness day, an assertive workshop on Sep 24th, and Col. Ann Wright discuss Sexual Assault in the Military. Programs like these will be sponsored by the Women's center throughout the semester to address social justice issues. Social justice is also an important theme in the Rag magazine that the Women's center issues every month. Writers of all backgrounds are encouraged to submit articles, poems, questions themed on social justice. Quizzical students are also given the opportunity to ask uncomfortable questions to 'Aunt Flo' who offers wisdom on topics such as sex and relationships. This month's issue is a combination of on campus magazines The Queery, The Rag and the newsletter from the Cross Cultural Center. BY LANCE ROSENBERGER Pride Staff Writer Campus Recreation is a fairly recent addition to the CSUSM campus. Based out of the Clark Fieldhouse, they have many activities available to everyone, from students to faculty alike. Intramural sports makes up a large portion of what the Campus Recreation Center is currently known for. For just a flat $10 fee, you get access to ALL the Intramural sports throughout the year. Maybe make a basketball team with some buddies and come down on Friday afternoon from 12-5? Or you can join their Intramural Co-ed Dodgeball team. "It's fun, competitive and a great way to meet friends." says Friank John Tabarez, who formed a basketball team with some roommates this year. Campus Recreation even has big plans for some other Intramural Sports which might interest you. These include Kickball, Flag Football, Powderpuff, Womans Basketball, and more. Whatever you enjoy, they have a place for you. Not into Intramurals? No worries, we've just begun! They also have Excursions throughout the year. This is a great chance to get off-campus and have some fun. They already had an extremely successful Sailing Excursion, and they have a Rockclimbing Excursion scheduled for Oct. 6th. Excursions still to come include Kayaking, Bowling, Snowboarding, Paintball and more. Want to learn something fun without having to pay a fortune? Well they have free Fitness Leisure Classes for students. They include: Core Central (ABS) - Mon & Wed @ 3:30pm, Power Pilates - Mon @ 5pm, Kenpo Karate - Mon & Wed @ 6pm, Ashtanga Yoga - Tues & Thurs @ 12pm, Boot Camp Box- Wed @ 5pm, Hip-Hop - Tues & Thurs @ 4pm andAfrican Dance - Soon. You just have to show up. No paying, no signing anything, just gotta walk through the door. If only every part of college worked like that. Oh, faculty, I forgot to mention, you need to pay. But it's still cheaper that tuition, so it's not like it's a thinly veiled attempt at revenge or anything... The last big thing Campus Recreation offers are clubs. They have clubs for Surf, Cheer, Women's Volleyball, Dance, Women's Soccer, Cycling and Triathlon. Hugo Lecomte, the Director of Campus Recreation, has high hopes for this program. Lecomte says "(Campus Recreation) is on a mission to promote campus involvement by encouraging physical activity and healthy lifestyles and providing quality and safe recreational opportunities." With all the things he's got going at Campus Recreation, I think it's safe to say he is doing a great job. If you want more information, or want to sign up for any of the fun activities listed above, come on down to the Campus Recreation Center in the Clark Fieldhouse. They're business hours are from 11-1 and 4-7 Monday through Thursday and 10-1 on Fridays.

This program was taught by Professor David Phillips (UCLA), Professor Nicholas Rockwell (University of Denver), and, CSUSM's very own, Professor Darel Engen and focused on ancient Greek history. This phenomenal program combined daily classroom lectures with on-site visits to create an amazing learning experience. Students also read ancient Greek classics and the historical accounts of Herodotus and Thucydides. Students were tested on all materials during the course of the program which culminated with two final papers after returning home. The trip included extensive travel throughout all of Greece that cannot possibly be covered in one article but the highlights included exploring Athens and the Acropolis and pondering the daily lives of the ancient Greeks. We also visited the breathtakingly beautiful town of Nauplion with a Venetian fortress perched on a hill overlooking the town. We toured the ancient sites of Mycenae, Nemea, and Epidaurus and were able to learn about the ancient Greeks' importance of fortification, religion, and the theatre. We visited the ancient site of Olympia which was a sanctuary to Zeus and Hera in addition to the site of the ancient Olympics which ran from 776 BC until 392 AD. We also visited the city and site of Delphi which included many ancient temples and treasuries including the site of the oracle who gave prophecies to the ancient Greeks. Northern Greece included a trip to Thessaloniki and the ancient tomb of Phillip II of Macedon. The trip culminated in a 3 day cruise to the islands of Mykonos, Ephesus, Patmos, Crete, and Santorini which included shopping, beach excursions, site visits to the Library of Celsus in Ephesus and the palace of Knossos in Crete, a visit to the Cave and Monastery of Saint John on Patmos as well as a thrilling donkey ride and astonishing sunset in Santorini. During the trip, students were able to enjoy some f ree time aside f rom site visits and studying which included meandering the vast amounts of shops in the Athenian Plaka, exploring the National Gardens, watching the changing of the guards, climbing to the t op of the Venetian Fortress ift Nauplion (all 999 steps to the top!), and; most importantly, taking time out to make friends and enjoy the culture of Greece. Perhaps the most interesting part of the trip was all of the unexpected moments that occurred. On Patmos, I watched a Greek funeral procession that took place which provided an insight into Greek culture. On my last day in Athens, I was able to explore an archeological dig which was a surreal experience that showed the richness of Greek history that is continuing to be unearthed. In closing, I would like to thank Professor Engen for his dedication to education and for encouraging and challenging his students to "mind their brains."

"While the University Police Department and campus emergency responders work extremely hard to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from all types of possible disasters, some situations may occur which may require you to protect yourself before officers can respond" cautions Manship. Disasters reach the inner core of human emotions and feelings. Natural reactions of panic and fear are common. However, remaining calm and levelheaded is key in chaotic events. Manship also encourages students to program their phones with the University Police telephone number 760-750-4567. ___ From RUSH, page 1 members," said Social Chair and Greek Life Council Delegate Gemma Fields. "We have never had a girl in our sorority not graduate." Alpha Pi Sigma's philanthropic work includes aiding Latino communities and others in need. Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta are the other two sororities on campus. "We're not recruiting this semester" Alpha Chi Omega Chapter President Anna Meldau said. "However we want the women to come out and get to know us and see if they want to participate in recruitment in the spring." Alpha Chi Omega supports the fights against Breast Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis. "We want to help women realize their potential," Alpha Xi Delta Chapter President Rebecca Baugh said of her sorority. "We want to help women better themselves." According to Baugh they support Rady Children's Hospital. All of the Greek organizations require potential members to be enrolled f ull time and have a minimum of 12 completed units with a minimum 2.5 grade point average. Costs and other terms of membership vary by the organization.

That being said, not all of us are the same. We aren't all lucky enough tofindgratification in TRL or MySpace music, or discover a new artist just by listening to the radio. So why not hire music analysts to endlessly comb an everincreasing bundle of musical bliss? The Music Genome Project caught on fast and created Pandora to put a unique music database in the hands of users everywhere. The Project's internal workings are relatively straightforward concepts that go one louder. Since 2000, the team offiftyhandpicked music experts takes one song at a time and dissects works into hundreds of details, sometimes taking as long as a half hour to fully capture every nuance. The song's attributes—such as harmony, instrumentation, l yrics- Pandora Radio S « gU identify it with other songs to produce groups of music with remarkably similar styles and tones. "It represents over eight years of analysis by our trained team of musicologists, and spans everything from this past Tuesday's new releases all the way back to the Renaissance and Classical music." Joe Kennedy, Pandora's CEO, President, and self-proclaimed pop music junkie, is the driving force behind Pandora's success and range of clientele. However, Pandora surprisingly spread almost solely by word of mouth. By developing the Music Genome Project into a personalized radio, the appeal of only hearing music analytically chosen according to your distinctive taste became so great that that Pandora recently created applications for select AT&T and Sprint mobile phones. Pandora's website is simple to use and navigate. Users create "stations" by typing the name of their favorite artist into "Pandora's box" and letting the Genome Project take over. Users can create and refine as many stations as they want by banning artists that aren't quiteright,or bookmarking artists that are spot on. Another recent edition to Pan- dora's arsenal of musical expertise is the Pandora Video Series. The videos investigate various production techniques, explore worldfamous venues, and highlight the inner workings of specific bands' Why O-Team may be the place for you BY KRISTINA LAWLER Business Manager As a transfer student, I came into Cal State San Marcos knowing no one. I knew I wanted tofinda way to be involved on campus somehow and as I sat through my own orientation, Ifiguredout how. Orientation Team reminded me of something I did back in high school called Link Crew. Link Crew is aprogram that helps incoming freshmen by assigning them to upperclassmen as a sort of mentorship program. O-Team is similar experience except you do not have to be junior or senior to join, so even freshmen can join in on the fun. Not only does it look great on resumes because it is volunteer work, but you get the satisfaction of being involved with an organization that actually makes a huge difference on campus. If you don't believe me, just ask one of your fellow advisors how much they appreciate the help that O-Team gives them during orientations. O-Team won Campus Organization of the Year for the past two years in a row. Over the summer, O-Team helped 1,643 incoming freshmen, 1,032 transfer students, and even helped out 838 family members. If you think those people don't remember, think again. O-Team got its start in 1991/1992 and has since grown to about 43 students this past year. I was fortunate to be one of them. O-Team also gives students the chance to meet some of the most awesome faculty members on campus. The SLL office holds some fearless leaders who really are there for you in good times and bad. O-Team is a great way to help build your leadership skills and make great friends along the way. Yes, O-Team requires a lot of your free time, however, most of the time you spend hardly seems like work at all because you are having such a great time. O-Team also gives you the chance to obtain knowledge about the campus that you might not have found out otherwise. If all that isn't incentive enough to join, did I mention that you get to go on not one but two retreats over the course of the year. I, for one, am saddened by the fact that I will be unable to return to O-Team this year due to time constraints, but I encourage all of you to at the very least find out some more information about joining one of the best organizations on campus. It was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. O-Team will be hanging around Kellogg Plaza from 12pm-lpm on the following dates: September 16th-18th and the 22nd-23rd so go talk with them and if meeting them is not enough there will be informational sessions held on the following dates: Tuesday 9/16University Hour, Craven 3701; Thursday 9/18- 6pm-7pm, UVA classroom; Monday 9/22- 5pm6pm, Craven 3701; Wednesday 9/24- 12pm-lpm, Commons 206; Thursday 9/25- University Hour, Craven 3701. So if you find yourself wanting to get involved on campus and that you yourself had a great experience at orientation, then I encourage you to pick up an application and join. sounds. It's difficult to admit that such an esoteric, theoretical approach to why people love certain music works so efficiently. The Music Genome Project's founder, Tim Westergren, urges participants to continue in their exploration of the musical universe and not think too much, imploring members to "Sit back, relax, and enjoy the music—that's the point."

Manneken Brussel Imports Inc., out of Austin, Texas, imports the genuine German wheat-doppelbock ale. Georg I. Schneider began the brewery in 1872. The 136-year-old brewery remains family owned and operated. Georg VI. Schneider currently oversees the company. Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa sells 23 fluid ounce single bottles. The dark brown glass bottle displays a purple, flashy gold and red label. A bottle cap shod in purple and white hues with the company's logo seals a beer with 8.2% alcohol by volume. The majority of beers on the market contain 5% ABV. Aventinus' higher than average ABV ensures an interesting escapade. The wheat beer pours extremely smooth creating a one fourth inch thick head. The head disappears almost as quickly as it formed leaving a very thin lancet. Despite an easy pour and petite head, the brew casts a dark brown hue. The beer releases a sour mash aroma and dark color correlates with the taste. At first sip, a strong powerful surge of flavor ravishes the lips, tongue, and taste buds. Banana, clove, vanilla, and chocolateflavorsand spices comprise the ale. The brew continues shocking the throat on the descending adventure below deck. The beer tastes better at colder temperatures. If visiting Germany over the weekend seems impossible, try a great authentic German tasting brew. As responsible Cougars, enjoy Aventinus responsibly! Bottoms game card for only $15.99.

BY AMY SALISBURY Opinion Editor What might happen i f207 people suddenly and inexplicably froze stiff in the middle of Grand Central Station? Get ready tofindout. New York-based comedy troupe Improv Everywhere's Youtube channel currently hosts a video called "Frozen Grand Central." In just over two minutes, viewers experience secondhand emotions ranging from disbelief to absolute hilarity at this no less than wondrous social experiment The video begins with a bird's-eye view of Bryant Park and one of Improv Everywhere's "agents" bellowing ridiculous instructions from a bullhorn. The plan is for over 200 people to synchronize their watches andfreezein place for exactlyfiveminutes in the middle of the largest train station in the world while perplexed onlookers go about their day. Suddenly, at 2:30PM, average people bizarrely become statues. Strangers begin talking to each other, laughing at the spectacle presented by this secret slapstick company. Regular commuters to and from New York certainly come across strange sights, but what could this be? "They stopped what they w e r e doing and stood, like,frozen,"remarks a young woman to her friend. An undercover agent chats up a disturbed family man, asking, "How long has this been going on?" A Grand Central attendant in a maintenance cart honks his horn and complains to the comedians with no luck. Then, the Improv agents nonchalantly go about their business once again to roaring (and confused) applause. As one of over 70 missions, Improv Everywhere has almost a cult following in and around New York City. In August of 2001, Charlie Todd founded the group after he and a few college friends decided to prank a bar in the West Village. Todd posed as the musician Ben Folds, and within three hours, he was drinking on the house. Improv Everywhere's global counterpart, Urban Prankster, covers other acts of comedy genius outside of New York City. Most recently, an annual prank called "the MP3 Experiment" has just announced dates in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. By the way, Improv Everywhere's slogan is "We cause scenes"; now it all makes sense.

This is seen by the fact that since they have entered the filmmakers' scene in the early 1980's, they made a film almost annually.

When class gets out, this studious Mike's story doesn't start with "he and unassuming student sheds his wasn't always a musician" because, normal identity, grabs his turntables, well, he pretty much always has been. and transforms into the one of a kind At 12 Mike got hisfirstkeyboard. At entertainer, DJ Mike Strip. Hardly 13, a drum machine and turntables. a small name in the area, Mike is By the tender age of 14, Mike was CSUSM's premiere DJ, offering his entertainment services to an assortment of groups on campus. With fraternity m mu h an overly impacted program, Mike opted instead to leave his hometown for a new venture south ofhis normal stomping grounds. Even though Mike was still in Socal, moving out of Pasadena and being on his own carried with it an incomparable feeling of accomplishment. Now a Senior and Kinesiology major, Mike goes to school Monday through Friday in near 9-5 fashion. In between his full course load, Mike somehow manages to perform 2-3 gigs a week. His passion for DJing and production has proven to be a lucrative one thus far, and because of that Mike has been able to make music his job. For as long as music and DJing have been a part of Mike's life, he makes clear efforts to stay ahead of the curve. While like most DJs, Mike has moved awayfromlugging around crates of vinyls in exchange for the more versatile vinyl emulators, Mike has still managed to stay ahead of the curve. Wary of not getting too comfortable in an industry saturated with traditional DJs, he has moved forward into the less populated realm of Video DJing (VJing). With technology improving the affordability and accessibility of Video Djing equipment, Mike Strip has been able to participate in growing movement to cross the medium of music with video in Uve settings. VJing may require twice the skill, but Mike hasn't backed down from the challenge, making VJing a staple ofhis act. Keeping that innovative edge sometimes requires reinventing yourself, and that is just what Mike Strip is doing these days. Most recently, Mike Strip has revamped his image to make himself a more pronounced presence in the DJ world. Mike also plans on releasing his first album later this month, giving fans of his performances a whole new experience. But Mike is just looking at it as a chance to showcase his hard worksome 8 hours a day for 2 months straight- and mature as a producer. It his work as a producer and not just as a DJ that could launch his career to the next level. In the past, his work has appeared on television networks like CBS, NBC, and Lifetime, but it is his newest venture into production that Mike seems most excited about. At this point in his career, there seems to be nothing but limitless potential for this young and skilled entertainer. Mike stands to become a commanding presence in the music and entertainment industry, and CSUSM students should be excited to have a guy like Mike around campus. Although his aversion to the club scene has kept him from committing to any one venue, its safe to say that DJ Mike Strip Wereski is CSUSM's resident DJ. m " I • "I By Bill Rhein /Pride Staff Writer MADE OF HONOR SPEED RACER GRADE: DThis chick flick offers nothing.

THOMPSON Peddling Propaganda BY AMY SALISBURY Opinion Editor The summer of 2008 showcased some of the most highly anticipated films released in recent years. The Dark Knight still has the potential to outdo Titanic in highest boxoffice gross, George Lucas brought back the incomparable Indiana Jones, and Disney/Pixar's WALL-E produced robot dialogue comprised entirely of electronic sounds (and we understood it too). However, I go to the movies to be entertained, not for a lecture. The way I see it, WALL-E was a kid friendly, wistful version of An Inconvenient Truth. That was a risky comment, so it may be best to let history speak before I do. During World War II, Disney was commissioned to create proAmerican war propaganda films for every facet of the United States government to be shown in cinemas nationwide and as educational films for servicemen. According to an article published in Life Magazine entitled "Walt Disney Goes to War," over 90% of Disney employees produced thesefilmswhile conscious of the fact that the reels would be a persuasive tool to win over the American people. What's more, Disney turned out multiplefilmswith antiGerman and anti-Japanese themes. One particular short, "Commando Duck," shows Donald Duck using Air Force-approved aerial bombing tactics to destroy an entire Japanese airbase by himself. In further research, I came across a cartoon from 1942 again starring Donald Duck and (subliminally) the War Activities Committee of the U. S. Treasury Department.

Donald Duck portrays a skeptical taxpayer who is convinced by a radio broadcast when he learns how important income taxes are to the military. In a later Gallup Poll, approximately 37% of the 26 million people who saw the film reported an increased willingness to pay taxes. Disney's attempts to dehumanize wartime efforts are virtually parallel to Pixar putting a humorous, friendly slant on the unproved theories of certain politicians and scientists. The entire premise of the film rests on how consumerism and environmental neglect will be the ultimate demise of man. At best, this film should be deemed a satire. Could I have it all wrong? Could Pixar actually have purposely gone overboard in their depiction of the future? Even so, New York Times columnist Frank Rich admits that WALL-E provides an "[...] unmistakable summons to Concerning the S AE 9/11 Party th THE PRIDE Cartoon by Dorian A. Deptuch / The Pride remake the world before time runs out." To avoid confusion, I am in no way equating global warming theories with white supremacy, nor do I condone anti-Americanism. However, it is simple feet that Disney has had extensive experience over decades about how to remain onesided and work harmoniously with parties affiliated with the government. At the end of the day, WALL-E The fall of The Office BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer NBC's "The Office" is set to start its new season September 2 5 , according to the official website. In addition, while the show has grown in popularity, the quality of the show is diminishing. The jokes are not as funny, and the character development has gone f rom cleaver to absurd. The first two seasons were the glory days of the show as it rose. Nevertheless, I think that it where it peaked. Ever since the last episode of season two, "Casino Night," the show's quality has been on a steady decline. I can remember being so excited for the start of season three, but the episode "Gay Witch Hunt" was a severe letdown. Since then, I have been waiting for that episode where the show becomes exciting and interesting again. However, it has been two years, and it has not made any progress. I can discern a definitive difference in the style of the show between the two halves. First, the characters were originally unique and had a fine blend of humor and humanity. They would do f unny things, but each was someone viewers could identify with. Yet, season three ushth embarrassing and appalling is the theme of the party, which is "Rescue Me." Essentially what it boils down to is a firefighter party on September 11 . The men and women who showed ultimate bravery that morning should not be mocked or impersonated in this fashion on the anniversary of one of their finest days. I think it is disrespectful to the people who ran in to save others, when everyone else was running out. And the party theme "Rescue M e" brings up connotations that seem insulting to the victims of the attacks. I would hope there is not a sailorthemed party on December 7 . I am aware that proceeds of the event will be going toward charity, but the end does not j ustify the means. The night should not consist of partying and dancing, but to mourn and be thankful. To consider the day and be m indful is to push forward to a better f uture. Though it acceptable to have f un, judgment and taste should be shown in the planning of these events. th th was indeed a visually dazzling movie. Pixar Studios produces exquisite computer animations sure to awe and entertain audiences just as the classic Disney cartoons still do today. As is inherently clear, Disney is well versed in making films whose message is sure to resonate within its audience. As long as the entertainment industry exists for just that, entertainment, persuasion has no place in the theatre. ered in an era where the characters became caricatures of themselves. Steve Carell's character, Michael the boss, went from silly but likeable to absurd and annoying. His actions are so over the top it becomes unrealistic and hard to follow the show. The same is for all the personalities, such as Dwight, who have had their fine details blown out of proportion. The show has also lost focus on where it was going. In the first two seasons, episodes happened independently with only the undertones of a relationship between characters Jim and Pam carrying though. Since the show has become more popular, it seems as if it has compromised itself to be more appealing. The continuing storylines are so overblown and preposterous that the show is a mess. There are too many new characters and storylines to appreciate. I still am a fan of the show, but the commercialization of the show has been its downfall. The first two seasons now seem like the glory days, and if it does not improve soon, I would rather see it end now rather than burn out a few years down. But that seems to be the theme of American shows. The British version of "The Office," which inspired the NBC version, ended after two seasons, amassing only 12 episodes and a feature length episode to tie up loose ends. Whenever NBC's "The O ffice" ends, hopefully it can t urn around before then so it can go out on a positive note. �FEATURES ASK A NINJA.COM S THE PRIDE »Ä BY CRYSTAL EVANS reveal the identity of, is o nscreen in creators make approximately $100,000 w orth checking out.

The event, held July 12-15, included speeches from NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguia, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. Thefrenzyof a politically driven event was visiblefromthe windows of the convention center. Throngs of protesters and supporters alike gathered on opposing sides of the street. Media vans lined the loading zones with police officers positioned outside the entrances like maitre ds. Thousands of people lined up, some having paid hundreds in donations, to hear Obama speak on Sunday, July 13. After an introduction from Maggie Rodriguez, CoAnchor for the CBS Early Show, the presumptive Democratic nominee took the stage. True to form, those in attendance received his message with applause, cheers and tears. Obama elaborated on his well-stapled message of change by adding that the system currently in place has not and does not work, especially for the minorities in this country. "The system isn't working when a child in a crumbling school graduates without learning to read or doesn't graduate at all. Or when a young person at the top of her class - a young person with so much to offer this country - can't attend a public college," Obama said. After promising to be the right candidate tofightfor a better America for everyone, Obama also called upon the Latino community to help in making that happen. "I know how powerful this community is. Just think how powerful you could be on Nov. 4th if you NEWS lllj translate your numbers into votes," Obama noted. He added that in 2008, an estimated 170,000 Latinos in New Mexico alone were not registered to vote. "I'm not taking a single Latino vote for granted in this campaign. We're meeting with Latino leaders across the country. We're reaching out to Latino organizations to get input on my policy proposals. We've got a nationwide Hispanic media strategy. We're recruiting and training Latino organizers. We're holding Latino voter registration drives across America. And when I'm President, I'll be asking many of you to serve at every level of government." McCain spoke at the conference the following day focusing on the economy and immigration policies. Although his entrance was met with protestorsfromthe back of the room, McCain quickly gained the attention of the guests in attendance outlining his agenda. "A recent report says small businesses have created 233,000jobs so far this year while other sectors are losing jobs. Small businesses are the job engine of America, and I will make it easier for them to grow and create more jobs," McCain said. "There are two million Latino owned businesses in America, many of them started by Latinas. The first consideration we should have when debating tax policy is how we can help those companies grow and increase the prosperity of the millions." McCain also responded to comments made against him by Obama a day earlier regarding immigration policies in reference to a comment McCain made stating that he would not support his own legislation if it came up for a vote. "My campaign (on immigration reform) was written off as a From TUKWUT, page 1 From R NC, page 1 briefly. Then Alex Hoang conducted his speech. He described afictionalscene of a real tukwut and her cubs freely roaming the grounds that CSUSM rests on 200 to 300 years ago. The audience seemed to enjoy his speech. "Fellow students.. .the Tukwut Courtyard is yours...it represents the promise of where we came from, the success we have achieved today and the prosperity that is to come. The integrity of our courtyard stands in the preservation of the name Tukwut," he said. Sam Fernandez, American Indian Student Alliance President and Neal Hoss, Vice President of University Advancement spoke as well. Lastly, Robert Freeman who constructed the Tukwut Statue explained how the statue was built. ' The statue is going to get you. He is crouched and ready to pounce," he said in a playful tone. "It was a nice opportunity to hear about the native America influence at CSUSM and to learn the background and meaning of [Tukwut]," said kinesiology senior CaitlmAmiton. Dozens of students, faculty and staff, and tribal representatives rushed the Tukwut Statue after the ceremony ended. Flashes and smiles quickly occupied the previously covered statue. Rather than appear at the convention however, President Bush made his address to the convention via satellite transmission. "I know the hard choices that fall solely to a president," said Bush. "John McCain's life has prepared him to make those choices. He is ready to lead this nation." On Sep. 3, the Republican delegates voted almost unanimously to officially nominate McCain as the Republican presidential nominee, concluding a lightly contested primary season for the Republican nominee. According to Nielsen Media Research, a record 38.9 viewers tuned into McCain's acceptance speech, with the convention averaging 34.5 million viewers YY THE PRIDE LI lost cause. I did so not just because I believed it was the right thing to do for Hispanic Americans. It was the right thing to do for all Americans. Senator Obama declined to cast some of those tough votes," McCain noted. "He voted for and even sponsored amendments that were intended to kill the legislation, amendments that Senator Kennedy and I voted against I never ask for any special privileges from anyone just for having done the right thing. Doing my duty to my country is its own reward. But I do ask for your trust that when I say, I remain committed to fair, practical and comprehensive immigration reform, I mean i t I think I have earned that trust." Following his speech, McCain opened thefloorto questions from the audience. With issues ranging from the Dream Act back to immigration, McCain admitted that while they may disagree with his stances, he was willing to sit down and discuss similar issues again. In conjunction with the convention, was the 2008 Latino Expo, which featured boothsfroma wide array of sponsored companies and organizations such as ConAgra Foods, Lowes, Latinos for Obama, and Estamos Unidos McCain. The four-day event clearly was a celebration ofLatino culture and the forty years spent by NCLR advocating the rights of a growing minority. In her speech at the convention, Murguia outlined her vision of a better America and the importance of the Latino vote on the upcoming election. "This is an historic election. It is not only historic for the make up of the candidates who are running; it is historic for the role we will play in it," the NCLR President and CEO said. "Sixteen weeksfromtoday, on Nov. 4,2008,1 promise you America will hear our voice loudly and clearly in state after state across this country." throughout the 4-day event. At various points in McCain's address, protesters in the crowd caused somewhat of an uproar. Adam Kokesh, a formal Marine corporal and Iraq War veteran, interrupted McCain's speech, yelling, "Ask him why he votes against vets", A prominent critic of the war in Iraq, Kokesh also displayed a large sign that said on one side, "McCain votes against vets," and on the other, "You c an't win an occupation." Security personnel apprehended Kokesh and released him shortly t hereafter with no charges. A group of code pink protesters were also escorted out of the convention after attempting to interrupt McCain's speech. The Republican crowd responded to these protesters by chanting "U.S.A." and McCain jokingly referred to the protesters as "the ground noise and the static." While McCain did not reserve criticism for Obama, he did say of his democratic rival, "Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us. We are fellow Americans, an association that means more to me than any other." Of his new running mate, McCain remarked, "I'm very proud to have introduced our next Vice President to the country. But I can't wait until I introduce her to Washington. And let me offer an advance warning to the old, big spending, do-nothing, mefirst, country-second Washington crowd: change is coming." Having been confirmed as the vice-presidential nomination by a voice vote earlier that day, Palin said in her speech to the convention, "Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the United States...I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America." Palin's speech included some barbs directed at Obama. Contrasting her experience as mayor of Wasila to Obama's experience as a community organizer, Palin said, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities."

Top 10 Storylines Tuesday\ September 9, 2008 BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer The long awaited opening weekend for the NFL has come to an end, there were some snoozers (Giants vs. Redskins) and some very dramatic games (Chargers vs. Panthers), sorry Charger fans, but a lot was learned from the first week of games. 10. The No Fun League. After officially getting his named changed to Chad Ocho Cinco from Chad Johnson, the NFL wouldn't allow him to have what will soon be the best selling jersey in the league on his back. Also, after scoring a touchdown against the Browns, T.O, known for his antics and touchdown celebrations, had a lackluster attempt mimicking Ussain Bolt, I'm sure they flagged him for his poor celebration rather than the 'excessiveness' of it. A VJ OA THE PRIDE 9. Rookie QB's starting career with victories. Falcons rookie QB Matt Ryan, who is absurdly making more money than Tom Brady, threw his f irst touchdown of his career it j ust happened to be in his f irst attempt ever for a 62 yard pass to Michael Jenkins, and he also got great support f rom newly acquired RB Michael Turner. Joe Flacco, not as impressive as Ryan, led his team to an upset victory over the Bengals, whose o ffense was abysmal. Both QB's give their team high hopes that their f ranchise may be t urning around. 8. NFC's Best Division. Everyone thinks it is the NFC East with all four teams playoff contenders, but don't count out the NFC South. The Saints beat defending division champion Buccaneers, the Panthers defeated a Superbowl contending team in the Chargers, and the Falcons won big, albeit against the Lions. 7. NFC Worst, oops the NFC West. There is no question which division is the worst in the NFC, with three of the four teams 0-1, including the Seahawks, who have won the division the past four years, 8-8 or 9-7 could once again win this division. The division includes perennial losers like the Rams, 49ers, and Cardinals, let's just root for my 49ers! 6.The Saints restoring hope in New Orleans.. .again. Just three years ago, the Saints went from being the 2 worst team in the league to a playoff team, but that was just their 2 best achievement from that season. They helped restore a city decimated by Hurricane Katrina. Now just a couple weeks after Hurricane Gustav, the Saints opened their season against the Buccaneers and came away with a victory to help New Orleans keep their minds off of another hurricane. 5. Preseason actually means something. There was some debate that in the future preseason may be cut down to 2 or 3 games, but it looks like teams need these for games with how rusty some of the highly touted teams looked. Teams like the Chargers, Colts, and Seahawks, who did not play their starters that much at all, all struggled through their games. 4. Playoff teams from last year losing. The Seahawks, Jaguars, Buccaneers, Redskins, and Chargers are all teams that made the playoffs last year and lost their first game. That is 5 out of the 12-playoff teams to lose. 3. The New York Bretts, I mean the New York Jets. Unless you were living under a rock for this past summer, all you heard was the 'Brett Farve Saga'. Now that the season's over you still won't hear the end of it, and with Tom Brady's season in question they have a chance at winning the division. Hmm, I am hearing something from New York—J-ET-S...BRETT, BRETT, BRETT! 2. Tom Brady's left knee. There are reports that Tom Brady has a torn ACL and will be out for the season. Without Tom Brady, the Patriots were a goal line stand away from going to OT with the Chiefs, the worst team in the AFC West. The Pats 20 game regular season win streak will be in jeopardy next week. 1. The mainstream media's obsession with Tom Brady's left knee. If you thought you heard a lot about Brett Farve, well you'll hear just as much about Tom Brady's knee especially until it is confirmed what is wrong with him. So avoid ESPN and the internet at all costs! by Guillerme Mitrovitch. Coming back from halftime, things did not look any better for the Cougars. In the 65 minute, David Alegria chased down a deep ball and passed it to Marchesani who scored easily, giving him an assist and a goal in the game. With ten minutes left in the game, the once quiet crowd, affectionately called the 'Blue Crew' for the Cougars team color, seemed to breathe new life into the Cougars, especially senior co-captain Greg Reese, who blasted a perfectly hit 25 yard shot to score the team's only goal. With just minute's left in the game, the Cougars brought their keeper, Tashi Nakanishi, from the goal to get an extra attacker. Nakanishi had the Cougars last opportunity and just missed a shot over the crossbar. In the Cougars second game of the week, they played a hard fought match against UCSD, losing in the late minutes 2-1 after being up 1-0 in the 85 minute. Although the score was 0-0 most of the game, the Cougars dominated from the start getting more shots on goal and more corner kicks throughout the game. In the 85 minute, Brandon Zuniga drew a foul in the box, which allowed for Christian Soares to score on a penalty kick to give the Cougars the 1-0 lead with just a few minutes left. "We were terrific," said Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisem. "We owned the game". But owning the game does not guarantee victory, in the 87 minute UCSD scored after a free kick near midfield that was played into the box and was eventually scored the equalizer by Aaron McDowell. Just minutes later in the 9 0 minute, Josh Jackson had a free kick from 30 yards out that was played into the box and Jared Kukura scored what would be the game winning goal. The Cougars fall to 1-3 on the season with their next game against Wed. at 4 pm against Azusa Pacific University at home. nd nd Men's Soccer go 0-2 in two close games BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer Coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss on Aug. 2 9 to Cal State Los Angeles, the Cougars looked uninspired until late in the game, where they came up just short in a fiery comeback losing 2-1 to Masters College.

That book is Fight Club. But not so many are aware that before Fight Club ever existed, Palahniuk had already written Invisible Monsters. Some might go so far as to say Invisible Monsters is Fight Clubs older brother... or sister. Chuck Palahniuk originally wrote Invisible Monsters, but when he tried to get it published all the publishers said "This is too graphic, we can't let this through." That's when Palahniuk decided to write the most graphic, disturbing novel he possibly could. That novel was Fight Club. In a weird twist of fate, the same disgust which turned publishers offto Invisible Monsters had them raving about Fight Club. Now an established author, Invisible Monsters was able to be brought into the world. To summarize Invisible Monsters without giving away too much, all I can say is nothing is as it appears. The story follows Shannon McFarland, a beauty model who gets her facerippedto shreds in a car accident. Wallowing in self petty, she meets the beauty queen supreme Brandy Alexander, whose ideology of beauty in modern society brings them on a sort of adventure the likes of which you have never, ever read before. A word of warning. While the storyline, writing style used, and the morals are all exceptionally brilliant, this book is a dark cynicism of modern society's views on gender roles, life, family archetypes, sexually, God and especially beauty. That's quite a list. Ifyou are easily offended by these topics, this probably isn't the book for you. But if you aren't offended, or are of curious nature and wish to hear varying opinions on any of these themes, I suggest this book wholeheartedly. With that said, it is rather graphic in it's description of many things, including the description of her face after the accident and the things girls will go through to acquire beauty. For girls, this book is about breakingfreeof the bonds society puts on you, especially in fields of beauty and sexual appeal. Guys, I suggest just enjoying the constant twist and turns of the book. And everyone well chuckle at the narrator's dark humor. Invisible Monsters has something for everyone, but just remember as you read: Nothing is as it appears.

Luckily, a new scholarship from the University Bookstore may help remedy short-changed Cougars.

From Aug. 24 to Aug. 28, prominent Democrats including Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Howard Dean, A1 Gore, Michelle Obama, and Barack Obama spoke on behalf of the Democratic party at this years Democratic National Convention (DNC). Barack Obama officially accepted the Democratic nomination on Thursday Aug. 28, the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's famed "I have a Dream" speech. On Invesco Field at Mile High, Stadium, Obama announced before a record crowd of 84,000 people, "With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States." 10 cable and broadcast networks aired Obama's acceptance speach to more than 38 million television viewers, breaking all previous Democratic and Republican convention audience records. The convention attracted an average audience of 30.2 million viewers over the course of the 4-day event During his speech, Obama paid tribute to John McCain, saying of his Republican challenger, "Now let there be no doubt. The Republican nominee, John McCain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and respect. However, Obama did attempt to distinguish himself from his rival a bétí « Bjju throughout his mm speech.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, the Democratic Party cheered on as Illinois Senator Barack Obama, the first African American candidate for a major political party, accepted his nomination. Over 84,000 supporters were present for during the 42-minute speech, making the gathering the largest at a Democratic convention ever. In MLK's speech, he emphatically declared, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Two of his children spoke during the convention following a video tribute of their father to celebrate the historic occasion. See Speech, Page 4 on June 3, Obama, then the presumptive democratic nominee, did not officially receive the party's nomination until the Aug. 27 roll call vote of the party's delegates. During the vote, Senator Hillary Clinton successfully motioned to suspend the roll call and nominate Obama by acclamation. JoeBiden also received the vice-presidential nomination by a voice vote on Aug. 27, the same day as his address at the convention. The party's affirmation ofBarack Obama as their presidential can- didate marks the official end of a volatile and protracted primary season. The months leading up to the convention saw tension build around the seating of Florida and Michigan's delegates and the dissatisfaction of many Clinton Supporters wiBi the outcome ofthe primary.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor On Friday, Aug. 29, a day after the close of the Democratic National Convention, the presumptive Republican nominee, Arizona Senator John McCain, announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate. Palin is not only the first female running mate selected for the GOP, but also the first Alaskan on a major party campaign. A first term governor, Palin beat out Gov. Frank Murkowski for reelection in the 2006 Republican primary and defeated Democrat Gov. Tony Knowles in the general election. In 1984, Democratic candidate Walter Mondale selected Photo retrievedfrom Wikipedia Geraldine Ferraro as his runA mother of five and self ning mate. Incumbent Presiproclaimed "hockey mom," Palin, dent Ronald Reagan defeated 44, got her start in politics in 1992 them, however, in a landslide when she ran for city council in victory. Wasilla, Alaska. Commenting to Fox News on the announcement of another female contender, Ferraro noted that McCain's choice could make a difference in the turnout of the election. "There are a lot of women who are disaffected by how Hillary [Rodham Clinton] was treated" during her run in the Democratic primaries, adding "I've spent a lot of time over the last 24 years saying, 'Gosh, I wish I weren't the only one.'" In her welcoming speech, Palin addressed the female vote, reaching out to Hillary supporters. "Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America. But it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all," Palin said. This Monday, Palin confirmed reports that her 17-yearold daughter, Bristol, is preg- nant. In a statement released by the McCain campaign, Palin adds that her daughter is about five months pregnant, going to keep the child and marry the father. "We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us," the statement said. "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support." The Palin family also requested that the media respect the privacy of the couple. The McCain campaign also stated that McCain knew of the pregnancy before selecting Palin and did not consider it to be a deterrent in the election. �T H E C IPRIDE H a r d to EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF VI RI DIANA PACHECO1SAAC MANAGING EDITOR BEN M .

Located in Millennium Park, the enormous stainless steel sculpture acts as a three dimensional mirror of the city. It is perfectly located so that left side reflects buildings to the west and the right side reflects buildings to the east—it is a sculpture that reflects earlier sculptures. The location ofour school's new "Focus" sculpture, ^k by artist Robert Freeman is located on a dirt mound. The sculpture was met with opprobrium by the editorial staff because of its obvious and awkward location. Its bright and spirited colors are washed out by sunlight and ignored by moonlight. Trees surround the inglorious dirt mound it stands embarrassingly proud \ on. The only way to get a good look at this 14-foot sculpture is to walk right up and stare at its ashamed k face. Aban- m doned sloppily M to the side of ™ Kellogg, the 14-foot freeform 'Focus' sculpture of dancing yellows, greens, purples, reds and blues is dwarfed by its surroundings. "Cloud Gate" became part of Chicago's community. It gives back to the people that interact with it. It is at the center, revealing what the artist thought to be the best of Chicago. Who is going to interact with our sculpture? And more importantly, how is it going to i nteract with us? Wall-E was the best movie of the summer BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer As the cinemas switch over from summer blockbuster mode to fall Oscar hunter mode, it's time to reflect on the outstanding pieces put forth this past season. Though there were many fine works put forth, two rose to the top. These high caliber films were Warner Brothers "The Dark Knight" and Disney/Pixar's "WallE." Both were tremendous works of entertainment, but I put it forth that "Wall-E" was the better film. I am aware of the large following surrounding "The Dark Knight," so I will address its merits and how it was bested. The best way to put it is that "The Dark Knight" was a more entertaining movie, but "Wall-E" was better film and piece of art. "The Dark Knight" was very good and I give it credit, but there were some elements that made it far from perfect. For one, it was too dark. It was so obsessed with being sinister that it stumbled a bit and lost some of the audience. It used irrelevant dark moments to make the audience uncomfortable and halted progress of the plot. The film might have been rated R for its calm viciousness, but it was not, which leads me to believe that it compromised itself to get the PG-13 rating and thus get more viewings. On the other hand, "WallE" remained spectacular from beginning to end. It was beautiful to look at. Every shot of the earth, the land, and space were treats for the eye. And that is just the art aspect of the film. It was engrossing in its story about humanity finding itself. Its message was clear without being in your face. The subtext of mankind losing its way so dramatically that it takes a non-human to bring them back is timely and impacting. "Wall-E" also had heart and emotion, whereas "The Dark Knight" failed to produce characters one could care about. They were both good films, but "Wall-E" had all the details nailed down, such as its soundtrack. The music to "Wall-E" subtly enhanced the mood, while many moments of the "The Dark Knight" had an overly dramatic scoring that ejected the viewer from the moment by being distracting. Besides both films having main characters voices enhanced by computer, both flicks will be remembered as the best of the 2008 summer. Yet "Wall-E" is a timeless masterpiece, which I can see cleaning up very well this spring at the Oscars. Attention to detail and a brilliant story made "Wall-E" the best film of the summer and year so far. Reactions to largest US immigration raid insensitive BY VIRIDIANA PACHECOISAAC Editor-in-Chief I always say the reason I got into the field of journalism was to educate my readers on issues they did not know about. Well, here is your lesson for today. Last week, the largest singleworkplace immigration raid in U.S. History took place in the small town of Laurel, Miss. According to an article published by the Associated Press last Tuesday, Federal agents reportedly swept nearly six hundred plant workers suspected of being illegal immigrants while their "legal" counterparts applauded. That is, for lack of a better word, disgusting. No, this is not some sort of over told statement in which I will try to convince you that we should have open borders. Nor is this a rant on how I feel migrants without "papers" should be allowed to stay in the country. My objective is simply to get someone—anyone—to ponder the whole immigration controversy from an angle seldom expressed in the media. It is not about being legal or illegal, Mexican, German, Pacific Islander or American. It is a matter of being human, and it is about tolerance. Simple as that. Think of it this way: children in this town are now not only not being sent to school in fear of being deported, but many are also without their fathers, while their mothers have been released for "humanitarian" reasons, awaiting a court date while being forced to wear electronic monitoring bracelets as if they are dangerous criminals. Panic has swept the immigrant community of Laurel, Miss., and my money goes to say these people are even afraid to answer the door. How would I know? I have been there. When my family came to the United States in 1993, and Prop 187 was in full rage, I clearly remember living in constant fear, overhearing my parents trying to decide whether they should separate my brother and I so at least one of us could stay here in the event they got deported. Yes, my parents were illegal immigrants and so was I, and no, we didn't jump a fence. We simply came to this country as visitors and decided not to leave. For someone who teaches classes at Juvenile Hall, I know very well the importance of laws and the reason they must be followed—no argument there. When it comes to the over-beaten topic of immigration, however, there is so much more to it than the black-and-whiteness of "this is the law and you cannot be here," mentality. People from all over—namely Latin America—often leave fami- lies behind and risk their lives to cross a desert in hope ofbetter monetary opportunities in the United States. If you could trace your family tree back to when someone in your family immigrated to the US, feel free to ask them why they did so. It is not that they are trying to be defiant for no reason. It is because sometimes that is the only option they have. There is a horribly misconstrued stereotype surrounding illegal immigrants, portraying them as wanting to come to the United States solely for the purpose of stealing healthcare and education benefits, and of course to take the jobsfromAmericans. The fact is, however, that most, if not all, of the "desirable" jobs that Americans cherish so much require a social security number, not mention the mastery of the English language, something most immigrants do not haverightoff the bat. As opposed to another horrible stereotype, most children of illegal immigrants do not turn out to be criminals who clog our jails. Sure, there are a few bad apples who give the rest a bad name, but that goes with everything. In turn, most learn to take education very seriously and learn early on what hard work really feels like. When one grows up with very scarce opportunities, one learns to not take anything for granted, and learns that education is the only way out. What is most upsetting is not the fact that 600 immigrant are now facing deportation, or that some women were put on electronic monitoring bracelets, or that their children will be pulled away from their schools and homes— for many, the only home they have ever known. Rather, it is the intolerance and ignorance that came out of their co-workers. Applauding at someone else's misfortune is the most disturbing fact, because it shows people's inability to show a human side, to show compassion and to feel anything other than happiness at another person's expense. Like it or not, there are millions of illegal immigrants in this country already, and more and more keep coming in every single day. Out of those millions, most of their children will grow up to be hardworking, educated individuals. I know because I am a product of it and have lived it and grew up with it all around me. What we are is eager individuals who want to get ahead, who want to make something of ourselves so that the sacrifice of our parents was not in vain. And perhaps that is what America needs: more people who will contribute to the beautiful diversity of this country. And that, indeed, deserves applause. �OPINION THE PRIDE Autoraffictrocities ever A more painful than Campus t BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor Every time the word parking is mentioned on campus, there are bound to be at least a few moans and groans, and often a muttered swear word or two. Parking is a heated subject among the college crowd. Not only do we pay an astronomical fee j ust to have the privilege of parking on campus, but it also wastes a good chunk of our time in the mornings. If your f irst class begins at 9 a.m., you can live five minutes away and it will still take you a good half an hour to get from your house to a parking space. However, even though we complain most loudly about finding parking, this is not really the issue. If you are willing to walk a little f urther there is always a space, even during the f irst weeks of school. It is getting to the parking that is the issue. Approximately half of the 30 minutes it takes to get to school are spent getting through the lights on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Every large planned project, such as the building of a University, has to be well planned in advance. According to the California Environmental Quality Act, the entity building the project must do an environmental survey of the lot they plan on developing, and provide mitigation measures to lessen the impact it will have on the surrounding area. Most of these mitigation measures are related to t raffic, meaning they have to widen roads, add turn lanes, retime t raffic lights or do whatever it is that is necessary to help keep traffic flowing. Unfortunately, Cal State apparently did not plan as well as they should have, as we have all been stopped at every single light on Twin Oaks pretty much every single day. And if the timing of the lights is not bad enough, once you get into the school Craven Road is always backed up because everyone is using the right lane and the flow of t raffic is disrupted by the stop signs. With the Campus Way exit off Barham Drive as the only other entrance to the school, it is no wonder the t raffic is always so bad in the mornings. Let's hope as the college expands and enrolls more students that something is done to reduce the amount of t raffic present in the mornings and make it easier for everyone to get to a parking space. Tuesday; September 2, The price we all pay McCain, Obama collide on coastal drilling BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Obama is for change and as I like to say, McCain will make it rain. Yes that is a hip hop reference. I would first like to state that this is an opinion piece that I happen to be writing. I encourage you to form your own opinion and do more research on the issue if you desire. Write to the editor or go a step further and write for your school paper. There is a voice to be heard and that is your voice, our voice, a Cougar voice. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you are a donkey or an elephant or neither, discussing these issues is important as the deadline nears for the next president. A good place for finding relevant information on matters such as these is Google News. Offshore drilling? What is it? Well, there is available oil on the shorelines of the United States. While the effect would not be instant, ultimately, drilling offshore would lower gas prices stateside. Even though I drive a Honda Civic that gets 35 miles per gallon, I didn't like paying $5 this summer for gas and more recently $ 4.1 care about the envi- ronment but I care about the people in the environment even more. I hope research continues and automobile manufactures constantly work on improving their MPG. In the meantime I want the U.S. to become less dependent on foreign oil. McCain seems to agree. He wants states to be able to drill offshore. President Bush's recent announcement of his plans to do so sent the crude oil price stumbling down. Imagine how much fur• ther prices would descend if we actually began drilling. However, McCain doesn't want the states to be forced. That is why his plan simply allows states to drill offshore if they willingly chose to. Obama and McCain disagree. Obama wants to focus renewable energy resources. The both seem like possible solutions to our current gas crunch. I wish we could combine both ideas, t hat would really be a perfect solution. Both candidates are going to say things that they are not going to be able to do. This happens with all politicians regardless if they are red or blue. Don't give up. Don't lose hope. People die for your right to be able to vote. Come December, help decided who our next president is going to be and cast your vote. 0 m.

But not only that, he is in the hopes and dreams, the competence and courage, the Tightness and readiness of Barack Obama," declared Martin Luther King III. MLK's daughter, Rev. Bernice King, marked Thursday as "one of our nation's greatest defining moments." In 1963, Martin Luther King dreamed for change. Today, Obama pledges to be the "change you can believe in." From DNC, page 1 of the convention. Still, some Clinton supporters have been reluctant to throw in their lot with Obama after Clinton suspended her campaign in June and endorsed Obama. Since then, Clinton and Obama have worked to mend the rift in the party that formed throughout the primary season, though some voters insist they plan on writing Clinton in or voting for McCain. In her speech on Aug. 26 at the convention, Clinton addressed these disaffected supporters saying, "Whether you voted for me, or voted for Barack, the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose." "Barack Obama is my candidate. And he must be our President." The effect of the DNC on voters remains to be seen, though candidates typically experience a "bounce", or slight jump in the polls following their party's convention. McCain's announcement of Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate on the day after Photo retrievedfrom democraticunderground.com Obama's acceptance speech may complicate this however, as media coverage of this eclipsed post-DNC coverage on Aug. 29. In response to Obama's acceptance speech, the McCain campaign issued the following statement on Aug. 28 : "Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama. When the temple comes down, the fireworks end, and the words are over, the facts remain: Senator Obama still has no record of bipartisanship, still opposes offshore drilling, still voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000 per year, and still voted against funds for American troops in harm's way. The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President." The Republican National Convention will take place this coming week from Sept. 1 to Sept. 4 in Saint Paul Minnesota. �THE PRIDE Mentorship opens f or juniors and seniors BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor The Faculty Mentorship Program (FMP) is currently accepting applications for anyfirstgeneration or financially disadvantaged juniors and seniors for the fall 2008 semester.

Maybe it's because they use filtered water instead of tap water for their dough or because the pizza sauce is made fresh with whole tomatoes (I personally think what sets them apart is their brick ovens, a rare luxury these days). Whatever the reason, Station Pizza, themed around the Grand Central Station in New York, is definitely a place to check out. They have some great deals going on that will make your visit worthwhile. 12 different types of pizza ranging from cheese to buffalo chicken and back again are available by either the slice or the whole pie for a price even a starving college student can afford. Speaking of college students, anybody who goes to Station Pizza and shows his/her CSUSM Student ID gets two slices and a drink for only $5! And these aren't tiny slices we are talking about, each is a good 9" of true New York Pizza. They also have 28" pies for anyone planning on pigging out or throwing a party. That means each slice is over a foot long, for those of you who are sick of your math courses. But don't think for a moment they only have pizza. They have great sandwiches, salads, pasta and even some delectable appetizers to choose from as well. They even have a good selection of beers to choose from. Visit Station Pizza, chat it up with the owner, enjoy the nice atmosphere. Once you go there I'm sure you'll want to be heading back there again and again. They're just three miles off campus, easily accessible with the help of a car. And if you don't have a car, or maybe you just don't feel like driving, no worries, they deliver also. You can find them at 1531 W. Mission Rd, or simply order up by dialing 760-891-0100. This is definitely the place to go if you need some good party food, or are just tired of eating the same old slop everyday. lia FOUNDER'S PLAZA Tues, Sept 2 - wed.

Radiohead's opening act, Liars, an Australian band that seemed out of place took a droning tone to their vocals. Their sound was gothic, and their performance was less than satisfactory. Occasional wolf howl screams performed by lead singer/ guitarist Angus Andrew and song titles such as "freak out" set no melodic mood for Radiohead's vocalist Thom Yorke's raw sound. At 8:30 p.m., Radiohead began their 25 song set list with "15 Steps" from there latest album "In Rainbows" and was followed by "Air Bag" which was featured on "Ok Computer" that made its debut in 1997. The stage was decorated with LED screens that draped across the backdrop, with each screen focused directly on each band member, changing color along each r iff and note played harmoniously. Soft blues to deep reds, neon colors flickered I M to black arid white silhouettes of drummer Phil Selway, guitarists Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood and bassist Colin Greenwood. The show peaked at the sixth song, "Talk Show Host," which was featured on 1996 soundtrack for the film "Romeo and Juliet". The crowd immediately recognized the intro and excitedly welcomed the song with cheers and praise. Simple utters of "thanks", were the only words uttered by Yorke throughout the show. The set list continued with popular singles such as "Jigsaw Falling into Place" and "Just." Sadly, Radiohead missed favorites such as "Karma Police" and "Creep." The show slowly ended with the song, "Everything in its Right Place," in their final encore at 11:30 p.m. "The show was really pretty exciting, the screens in the background really made me feel like I was closer to the stage!" said Vanessa, a Radiohead fan that enjoyed the show in the theatre's 300th row. Radiohead quietly advocated their involvement with an MTV program called "Exit," to raise awareness for human trafficking and exploitation at their concert Wednesday with pamphlets dispersed throughout concert grounds, but they made no verbal mention of it during the performance.

Manneken Brussel Imports Inc., out of Austin, Texas, imports the genuine German hefeweizen. Georg I. Schneider began the brewery in 1872. The 136 year old brewery remains family owned and operated Georg VI. Schneider currently oversees the company. Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa, Mesa, sells 23fluidounce single bottles. The daik brown glass bottle displays a mint green label with shiny gold outlines. A cream and green colored bottle cap seals an ale with 6.2% alcohol by volume. The organic beer pours mildly smooth creating a three quarters inch thick head. Surprisingly, the head retreats within a few minutes leaving a solid lancet. The rich golden textured ale releases an exceedingly bitter aroma. A visual inspection of the recently poured brew excites the brain and taste buds. Most ales appear soft and transparent However, the ale's murky appearance distinguishes itself from the majority of ales on the market today. The beer enters sweet and soothing like the beginning of any popular fairy tale. A brief moment passes before a prickly wave washes over all areas of the mouth. The organic brew tastes extremely yummy as peculiar flavors of wheat, malt, barley, and hops swash around. The hps and tongue smack in sheer joy. Longer gulps generate a prolonged shocking sensation to the taste buds. Completion of the beer satisfies the stomach without creating a bloated feeling. Given the ales mild density the beer should pair well with lunches and light dinners such as chicken and fish. With the stress of crashing classes, seeing ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends, iis purchasing overpriced text books, , Cougars should . knock off the tension ofanew semester with their own glass of Wiesen Edel-Weisse.

Q a Tuesday, September 2, 2008 Cruisin' Grand A i IJ BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A&E Editor My first experience with Cruisin' Grand was completely by accident. My friend and I were looking for a place to hang out while we were in Escondido. We had heard there was an Irish pub on Grand Ave. The evening seemed normal enough exiting the freeway and looking for the correct street and then we fell into a time warp. As my friend and I turned onto Grand Ave that a hot summer Friday night I realized we had wondered into the movie "American Graffiti" come to life. THE PRIDE American and international hot rods cruisin' up and down the main drag, parked along the Grand Ave and lined up along the side streets. Since that moment I have been a fan. I am a confessed lover of American muscle cars and enjoy a good car show, but what I love most about cruisin' Grand is the feeling that for one night a week in the summer I get to be a part of history come to life. Cruisin' Grand is a community event that attracts families and car lovers from all over San Diego County. Every Friday night from 5-9 p.m. from April through September hot rodders descend on Grand Avenue in Escondido to parade their beautiful pre 1974 classic cars. Grand Avenue from Orange Street to Ivy is lined with spectators and car owners examining the stunning cars. The city of Escondido posts changes to the schedule and provides a map for parking along with all the need to know dos and don'ts for the events on www. downtownescondido.com/cruisin. html. Nights are dedicated to specialty car clubs and kinds of cars. This September schedule begins Friday the 5th of September with Classic Fire Trucks and Police cars along with desert off road vehicles. September 12th is Packard night hosted by Packards International Motorcar club and San Diego Miata Club. September 19th is Nitro Night hosted by The Palomar Mountain V8s and special guests the oldest lowridercar club, The Dukes. Winners Circle is September 26th finishing the summer by giving die winners a chance to show off their prize automobiles one last time until next April. • •MÜH MB XJ f® MARRIED LIFE GRADE: C- This dark comedy staring Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper is about life in 1940's suburbia and a man's deceptive plot to kill his wife.

Her life becomes a wreck around meeting her birth mother, played by Better Midler, going through a divorce, and going back and forth between two affairs. Ultimately the characters are not engaging, and so is the movie. From the very beginning this film fails. The story of two menfightingfor a job is not clever and unoriginal. The plot of this office comedy does not have any depth and fails on its weak attempts at comedy.

Sure, I measure my life by semesters rather than months and years, and I begin reading f rom my semester book list the minute it becomes available. They may or may not be right. The truth is, however, the root of my excitement comes from knowing this year will be a great one. We have many developments^ v going on both in our community and in the world: our campus community keeps growing and becoming more diverse while many administrative changes have swept out campus, not to mention we have an interesting presidential election ahead of us, marriage in California is granted to anyone regardless of sexual preference, among many other things.

However, the greatest pleasure has come from knowing a core group that has always stuck around to make sure The Pride is constantly improving to serve our readers, and that is the group of editors that week after week—even in the summer— have worked really hard to improve this medium of information. As an organization, we are dedicated to the coverage of campus events and news in a way that is fair and unbiased. We strive to cover as much as the campus community as we can in each issue while at the same time celebrating diversity and bringing . light to issues seldom talked about. As The Pride's leader, I expect and promote ethical behavior, learning and growth from our staff. Prior to The Pride, I dedicated my energy to covering issues mainly impacting the Latino Community and border and immigration controversies. I was also editor of an award-winning college newspaper prior to transferring to CSUSM, so journalism has been my religion and political affiliation for some years now. I look forward to interacting with our campus and surrounding community as we work toward serving whom we are here to serve: you. Our readers. Let this be the beginning of a wonderful year. BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer It was right around this time last year when I first stepped foot into The Pride office a tender footed newcomer to journalism. A fter only a year here it feels as if I have transformed into a weathered and battle-seasoned newshound. By most standards we are considered a small campus, but we still seem to find a way to shake things up in a big way. Our campus and much of the rest of the county almost burned to the ground. Religious fanatics trumpeted damnations in our walkways. Our Spring Fling ended early because somebody jumped off the boat. And even with all of the crazy happenings on campus we still managed to From WELCOME, page 1 Clarke Field House/University Student Union, Office of Global Education, Student Health & Counseling Services, Student From FACULTY, page 1 THE PRIDE pull off one of the most exciting and positive years CSUSM has ever seen. Now in my second semester as the Managing Editor at The Pride and my third semester total, I can honestly say that I'm more excited than ever to be a part of this campus. I know that summer is not an easy thing to let go of, but like all things that obligate us to be unwillingly optimistic, there is a bright side. The good thing about the end of summer—if there is such a thing at all—is that it offers up to us an unmarked chance to create a college experience that is our own. Like hitting the reset button, those of us that are returning get a renewed chance do the things we wished we had done the year before. Knowing the amazing things that people are capable of doing with these opportunities is why I love working for our student newspaper so much. I find it nothing but a privilege to document this college in its infancy. Instead of walking into someone else's traditions we have a rare chance to cement our own college legacy. From where I sit, I am able to survey the changes and growth of a campus bristling with unrivaled potential. My only hope is that the Pride can keep up with all of it. To our newest classmates, the class of 2012: Venture a little bit. Seize the limitless possibilities that our campus has to offer. It will make college infinitely better. To CSUSM as a whole: Bring it. We at the Pride are only as good as the things you make happen.

We've seen the commercials about keeping your tires properly i nflated and driving slower t o get the most out of a t ank of gas. MSN brings u s another way to make our money go f urther. The MSN Autos Web site, autos.msn.com, allows you to input your Z IP code and search f or the lowest gas p rices in your area. The search comes with a map that shows where gas stations are located and a list of all the gas stations w ithin the Z IP code and their p rice f or r egular u nleaded gasoline in addition to plus, p remium, and diesel when available. It also gives you the lowest, average and highest gas p rices for your ZIP code and for the nation. The Web site is updated nightly and receives its information f rom more than 90,000 gas stations across the nation. However, because gas p rices can change d uring the day the i nformation is not always 100 percent accurate. The site also has other information related to cars and driving. They have a t raffic page that maps out how f ast t raffic is moving on d ifferent f reeways and f lags accidents and indicates whether it is minor, moderate or severe. It provides a list of why the t raffic is heavy whether it is due to an accident, an event, or j ust normal congestion. It also provides a start time and an estimated end time for the congestion. Another f eature the Web site provides helps you to manage your car. For this feature, you must register with the Wei) site and provide your e-mail address, ZIP code and the year, make and model of your car. The Web site will send you notifications on any recalls related to your car and send you reminders of when you need to get your oil changed and get major and minor preventative services pn your car. The site also has links to their sponsors' sites where you can get information on cars for sale, f inancing and insurance. Gmail boasts improved quality BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer Returning students are in for a surprise when they first check their school e-mail accounts this semester. As a result of increased enrollment and more communication via the Internet, the Instructional and Information Technology Services (IITS) chose to make a permanent switch to Gmail during the summer of2008. Since 1995, CSUSM has offered free e-mail accounts for its students. The system was relatively basic compared to the more advanced (and universally free) Yahoo, Google, and MSN e-mail services. With more and more students sending large e-mail attachments, IITS started making sweeps through the university's server and deleting old emails so as to keep some space free. Eventually the students outgrew SquirrelMail so Gmail took over. The biggest modification is certainly the obvious "yourname@ csusm.edu" changing to "yourname@cougars.csusm.edu." Other than that, IITS promises only improvements. Rather than occasionally deleting old e-mails, Gmail provides 6.5 gigabytes of storage, which is apparently increasing by the minute. Luckily, until December 31, 2008, mail sent to old accounts automatically forwards to Gmail preventing anything from getting lost in the cyber-shuffle. However, the wise option is to make sure important contacts know of the switch as soon as possible. Advantages to Gmail compared to CSUSM's past e-mail server extend beyond campus life. The account provided by Gmail is for life, as long as current students obtain diplomas. Google Apps has downloadable software that facilitates e-mail access from Blackberries, iPhones, and other J2ME enabled phones. Also, Gmail comes with a calendar that can send out text message reminders for upcoming events. Unfortunately, some students have received and continue to receive e-mails claiming to be from the university concerning the switch to Gmail. The emails request the recipient provides birthdates, passwords, and other information that IITS would never ask for. Teresa Macklin, IITS's Information Security Officer, identified these e-mails as phishing attacks, urging students to delete these emails immediately. If you did respond to the email and included sensitive information, call the IITS Help Desk (760)750-4000, Ext. 4790. As of Aug. 7, approximately 70 percent of the student body experienced a successful migration to Gmail, while the other 30 percent of students' accounts should be in working order soon. Gmail access links are on the new CSUSM Web site under Student—Webmail.

In addition to the Pride, I am a proud member of Alpha Pi Sigma sorority, an organization dedicated to academic excellence, community service and sisterhood. Prior to becoming editor, I ran the Features section of The Pride. Twice the Associated Collegiate Press has named me National Newspaper Reporter of the Year, and because of it San Diego County named a day a fter me (Nov 8). I also work as a teacher at a juvenile detention facility and have a three-year-old son. My name is Ben Roffee and I'm the Managing Editor. I am most easily identified by the obnoxious shark backpack I haul around campus. You might also see me sporting a "Venezia" captain's hat. I was born in Venezuela and people often mistake my Venezia hat to say Venezuela. It doesn't. I'm an odd 20 year-old Junior here at CSUSM known best for my affinity for pugs and inability to be photographed normally. I'm a proud member of the • Greek community in the Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) fraternity. I'm also known to take too many pictures with a camera that is far too expensive for my own good. I make music in a variety of forms, mainly via guitar or my computer, most of which I am just too reluctant to share with the world. I have a rather eclectic array of music and I don't read as much as I would like to. Ben Roffee Managing Editor Jackie Carbajal News Editor Welcome new students & welcome back everyone else. My name is Jackie Carbajal. This is my second semester as News Editor and third semester writing for The Pride... I am a Literature and Writing Studies major and will be graduating in Spring ' 09.1 also work at the Starbucks on campus. When I joined The Pride last fall, I had no idea I would enjoy journalism as much as I do. In my spare time, I enjoy anything; reading gossip magazines at grocery stores, watching good TV shows that have already been cancelled, and eating Thai food. Kathryn McBrayer A&E Editor Hello CSUSM Pride readers. My name is Kathyrn McBrayer and I am the new editor for the A rts and Entertainment section of The Pride Newspaper.

Right now, my major is Literature and Writing studies, and I'd like to pursue a career that involves creative writings journalism, or something in the media. My favorite things are Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the band Keane, both of which are guaranteed to wind up in my everyday conversations.

I spend my time working on The Pride, going to class and now volunteering at Palomar hospital. My spare time is slim to none now that school has started.

Rudy Martinez Assistant Layout Editor My name is Rudy Martinez and since I am too lazy to write my own introduction I have asked someone who knows me better than I know myself to do it. I am currently 23 years old and have a passion for anything to do with technology, which explains the fact that I am a business major with an emphasis in information systems. When I'm not doing the layout for the paper, working at the student help desk, or at school, I am at home playing video games or doing other mindless activities, which definitely does not include my homework.

Michael Phelps, the 23-year-old swimmer from Baltimore, Maryland broke the world record for most gold medals won in a single Olympic Games, winning his eighth gold medal in the men's 4 x 100meter medly relay on August 17,2008. Previous record holder, Mark Spitz, also a swimmer, won seven golds in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. After Phelps tied Spitz for seven golds in a single Games, Spitz told the Associated Press, "Epic. It goes to show you that not only is this guy the greatest swimmer of all time and the greatest Olympian of all time, he's maybe the greatest athlete of all time. He's the-greatest racer who ever walked the planet." In addition to winning the gold for each event he participated in, Phelps, also set 7 world records in Beijing. The only event he did not set a record for was the men's 100meter butterfly, his seventh event, in which he beat Serbian-American swimmer, Milorad Cavic, by 1/100 of a second. The rest of the U.S. men's swim team and the women's volleyball team have also received high acclaim for their performances in Beijing, Michael Phelps made swimming the most watched event of the Olympic Games for 2008.

He trips and falls, catching himself on fire in the process. The video takes you back to the anchors who take you to the events. Each candidate is represented by a girl who competes in a series of events, most of which they do in bikinis. The events represent the important topics for this presidential election. For the immigration debate the girls compete in shot put, which is to represent how far they are going to throw out the illegal immigrants and they arm wrestle to show their strength in dealing with foreign issues in addition to several other "events". In every event, the McCain girl calls on her alternate, a large muscular woman that competes f or her in the events, commenting on the importance of a running mate.

Moreover, f rom the 'ìÀmàtm looks of the promotional material, "Wall-E" will not disappoint. $0 S l ^ ^ t e ^ Ö ^ i ^ ^ S l It is hard to make a prediciiiiifipIBi tion based on a movie I have not seen, but I can only t hink positively of t his f ilm based on the material online. The t railer is very impressive and I shows how this f ilm will appeal t o people with its humor and storyline. The creativity in the plot is also a clever idea. Also, the screenshots ensure this f ilm will be visually spectacular. Even if I am wrong about the quality of t his movie, it will look incredible, guaranteed. I realize I am being bold picking "Wall-E" as the best, especially considering some of. the other f ilms coming out. I am sure " The Dark K night" and others will be spectacular. In addition, some f ilms I believe will be all f lash and no bang, meaning they may have a great amount of hype, but they will let down in the quality department. "Wall-E" gives the impression that it will be a strong film and have appeal to all moviegoers. I have thought about for a long time, and I have no doubt Disney-Pixar will not disappoint t his summer. Recently they have been on a strong streak, which I do not see ending soon. The potential for this f ilm is high and I can say with complete honesty that it will get next y ear's Oscar for Best A nimated. Nevertheless, I will t ake it one-step f urther and predict it to pick up a nomination for Best Picture. " Ratatouille" deserved one and my gut is telling me t his will be j ust as good, if jiot better. I wish you happy viewing t his summer! B lood, S weat, Tears, a nd t ime t o relax BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer The end to another successful school year. And by "successful", I mean we're all still alive with most of our limbs intact The phrase "intact" is, of course, negotiatable, since my grandfather has a hole in his leg that goes straight through to China, but we'll just try to think positive. How could you head into summer though without some timeless advice from your favorite columnist? And now that you've read their words of wisdom, you can have mine. My Tips for Surviving Summer with Style, Grace, and Minimum Collateral Damage 1. Designate a driver. I'm not talking about for when you drink. I mean, in general. You're going be much too busy with suntans and classy internships or vacations to worry about ridiculous things like speed limits and pedestrians. 2. There's always YouTube. Before you try to make your own Studio 54 in your living room, be aware that EVERYTHING ends up on the internet, particularly on YouTube. So even though you are with one intimate partner, or you're only going to do whatever it is this once, or you heard it's all the rage in the wilds ofMinnesota, know that somehow, whatever it is, it's going to be immortalized. And you will never be able to run for public office. Unless you're rich. 3. Today's tan is tomorrow's skin cancer. Yeah, my grandmother spent her summer days at the beach and her nights working at the telephone company. As a result, she still fondly remembers switchboards, and has to have a cancerous spot burned off her face every three months or so. And they had an ozone layer back then. So put on some sunscreen already. 4. He'll still be there in the morning. Before you cheapen yourself because it's just summer, and it's just one night, and you're just having so much fun, just think: what if he's still there in the morning? Are you gonna feel cheap or used, or just plain annoyed? What if he wants breakfast, or worse yet, a full-on romance? Just because it's summer doesn't mean everyone knows you're "no drama before morning coffee" clause. Your decisions will still haunt you (perhaps on YouTube), even if you made them in the hazy July heat 5. Have some fun. For a lot ofyou, nothing will change, except that your job that was part-time during the school year will become fuUtime. Or you'll have to find a job at all in a massive hurry. But around the hustle and bustle, make some time for yourself We live in a place most people go to on vacation. Try to sit back and enjoy it just like they do, minus getting lost and thinking Sea World is worth the admission cost i v I 1 S it E include aa address, telephone j Ì tioa.

Buying the vote: Suspending the gas tax BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The electoral winds haven't shifted. They've died, and now we're in the political doldrums. The flurry of exciting primaries in February has passed, leaving the candidates with idle hands over the past few weeks. It is with these idle hands that some of the candidates have made the devil's work, or at the very least, cheapened electoral politics beyond recovery. The biggest news in April revolved around Obama's relationship to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. As some continue to beat that dead horse, the candidates have finally given us some politics, however second rate, to grab onto with the debate over suspending the federal gas tax this summer. Clinton's proposal would suspend the 18.4 cent per gallon gas tax for the summer travel season and replace it with a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. Similarly, McCain's proposal would suspend the federal tax over summer as well, although his proposal would not tax the oil companies, instead replacing the lost revenue with funds diverted from other programs. To the economically frustrated American, it's difficult not to embrace a politician offering salvation from staggering gas prices. Far from a saving grace, Clinton and McCain's proposed gas tax suspension offers trivial financial relief. But with the political advantages of supporting such a proposal so evident, Clinton and McCain just couldn't resist. To put it into perspective, a sav- ings of 18.4 cents a gallon for a 15 gallon gas tank puts $2.76 back into the drivers pocket every time they go to the pump. Filling up once a week for 3 months saves the average driver somewhere between $30-$35. This is the big fix Clinton and McCain offer. Of these two proposals floating around between Clinton and McCain, both have a distinctly common air of political maneuvering about them. Clinton, who has been known to manipulate truth for political gain, is looking for something with which she can draw a sharp policy distinction from Obama. Even after her victories in March and April, Clinton is struggling to put together anything close to a come back. In her interview with George Stephanopoulos, Clinton dismissed the "elitist" views of a wide body of economists that argue her proposal would offer little financial relief to Americans. It seems that it is much easier to offer financial relief than it is to actually provide it. Her support of this hollow proT posal is ill informed and nearly indefensible. But at least McCain has an excuse: he's a Republican. Cutting taxes with complete disregard to budgetary consequences is a ritual sacred to the Republican candidate, especially as the electoral moons align. Taking it easy on the oil companies and showing fiscal irresponsibility is McCain's idea of showing strong leadership. Sound familiar? The only admirable aspect of either pitch is the reintroduction of a windfall profits tax on oil companies proposed by Clinton. Taxing the oil companies for profiting off of high oil prices is something we should already be doing as we have done in the past, but by no means should it be a substitution for the gas tax. Obama has been quick to criticize McCain and Clinton, but despite his fervent opposition, even he isn't without sin. During his tenure as in the Illinois Senate, Obama voted for a suspension of the state gas tax for summer travel similar. Without dismissing his past support of similar policies, it is important to note that Obama isn't buying into these foolish gestures anymore. If this feeble exercise in political pandering has proven anything, it's that smoke and mirrors don't always fool American voters. A CBS/NY Times poll released May 5 found that only 44% of voters thought the gas tax suspension was a good idea compared to the 51% that thought it was a bad idea Even more embarrassing for McCain and Clinton, the survey also found that 70% of voters thought the candidates supported the tax suspension because it would help them politically. Where the public is too often fooled by empty policy, the people's dismissal of this shameful proposal speaks to the transparency of Clinton and McCain's underlying motives. It is all too easy to toss around tax cuts to gamer public support, but be prepared to back your words up. Rather than play blindly into this cheap manipulation, voters should be questioning to what extent they would allow their economic desperation t o be taken advantage of for political gain.

However, a recent grant from the National Institutes of Health to a CSUSM professor may shed light on this complex medical enigma. The NIH offered Dr. Bianca Mothe a four-year, $440,000 grant to research the reasons behind this puzzle. She, along with CSUSM students, will look at diseases in groups, and the body's use of its built-in defenses. The research conducted by Dr. Mothe and students will look into cells called "helper cells." They will be looking into how these may offer natural resistance to diseases. The reason some people may not be prone to illness is that they have prolific "helper cells" to keep them safe. For those that do not have these defense cells, disease is more likely to affect them. Therefore, the research will involve looking into how doctors can implement or encourage these cells in order to protect a person. According to a press release, hopes for this project also includes being closer in determining a cure or vaccine for terrible afflictions such as Hepatitis C. One of the reasons the NIH chose Dr. Mothe was because of her strong interest in the biological field of illness. In her post-graduate work, she studied the AIDS virus on monkeys, which initially sparked her concern. During this work, she noticed how some creatures had a natural resistance. She cited the immune system for this because the "helper- cells" prevented the virus from reproducing and taking over the species. In some instances^ these cells were able to destroy the virus all together. Her previous work with tnonkeys creates optimism. She has shown th^t monkeys with natural resistance perform better than those who scientists treat with the cur- You survived: Preview BY ALEXANDER HAND Pride Staff Writer First year students looking to t ake a break from studying should attend Student Life And Leadership's (SLL) last "Survival Series" workshop today, Tues. May 6 during U-hour at the Clark Field House in room 110. ' The last workshop of the year, entitled "You Survived" is a celebration for first year students sur- viving their first year at CSUSM. . The event is sponsored by Student Life and Leadership and New Student Programs, and will feature free lunch and free giveaways to participating students. Jenny McDonald, a student that attended last year's event stated, "it's a good way to relax and have f un before finals." This workshop will be the eighth and final event of the year for the "Survival Series." Event coordinator, Eric Rowe, stated the each event features, "tips on how to get students involved, how to be successful, and how to enjoy their experience at CSUSM." The event is open but not restricted to all first year students at CSUSM. Students not able to make it to this event should look forward to the "Survival Series" making a return in the fall with all new events. rent vaccine. The National Institutes of Health, the group who finance this project have headquarters in Maryland and are a federal establishment under the U.S. Department of Health and Human services. According to their mission statement, their goal is "pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to extend healthy life." They are the head of twenty institute branches that research afflictions and the human body. They study specific conditions, such as aging and blindness, as well as afflictions in certain parts of the body, such as skin and lungs. By financing Dr. Mothé, they hope to increase understanding on the body's defenses. Dr. Mothé came to CSUSM in 2003 in order, to maintain her work on understanding the importance of "helper cells." Her previous studies include working with mice to observe the immune system, which was possible through a three-year grant. She will continue to work at CSUSM because of her appreciation of the unique environment where undergraduate students can conduct research with her. According to, Dr. Motilé, " I think we're a good combination of research and teaching by bringing them into our lab."

Risk Management is responsible for communicating with the campus on how to effectively m inimize the repercussions of liabilities involved on campus. All state employees (including s taff and faculty at CSUSM) are classifiedias disaster service workers. .Thus, t W brochure clearly outlines expectations and areas of concern p ertaining to safety that faculty are supposed to provide for students. It is essential that all faculty members are familiar with Risk Management's policies, so the brochure that was created is á helpful reference. The brochure first addresses classroom safety so faculty can effectively provide a safe learning environment. Classroom safety is broken down into i nforming students throughout class meetings about the hazards to be encountered and consequent safety precautions, emergency reporting (dial 911 on a university phone to contact the University Police), and laboratory safety. There is also a classroom emergency-preparedness video at http:// www.csusm.edu/ep/Video/. There are specific concerns explained p ertaining to disabled students, so pre-planning is advised or a second option is a University Marshall, who is experienced and has t raining in dealing with student disabilities. Another important point the brochure emphasizes is to not use elevators in a case of any emergency. A second issue that the brochure focuses on is out-of-classroom safety. This can include a range of activities including study abroad programs, field trips, and internships. Regarding study abroad programs, faculty are required to provide the mandatory information to insure a safe e xperience/With field trips or other out-of-class activities, faculty members must convey, to students compliance with university policies, a specific example of a policy being alcohol use during the class activity. The Classroom Safety procedure is also applicable in this category for reporting risks for students and proper precautions. A final point is that waivers and other permission forms must be completed and submitted before the event takes place and that there must be a contact person in case of an emergency. A third category of the brochure is internships. The Out-of-Classroom Safety is also relevant in this category. Added responsibilities entail the following: coordinating the student's off-campus experience with appropriate groups, m aking obvious possible risks to students and other individuals and the university's insurance coverage, having the student's emergency contact information, and promoting the student(s) to "follow-up" with the faculty member of any concerns. If a student becomes injured, faculty are required to report the incident t o University Police (and assist the University Police in completing an I njury Report), recommending students to seek medical attention (from the Student Health Center), and contact the Dean of Students for serious injuries. If the i njury is grave, emergency personnel will cover procedures for medical treatment. For f urther information and i nquiries/Risk Manage^ ment is located in Craven Hall 4700.

It's important to make a distinction. It is a film that has been based on a comic book. To me, 'comic book movies' are those complete wastes of production costs with ridiculous premises, easily despised heroes, and an ending so contrived and expected that they make "Winnie the Pooh" seem like a shocking thriller. No, this is a film. There's a plot. There's acting. There is an honest attempt to entertain without insulting the intelligence of the audience, which is something I haven't seen in a long time in a blockbuster film. And make no mistake: "Iron Man" will be a blockbuster, perhaps the first that I would recommend you see in a while, and definitely the first of the superhero films I would cofisider seeing a second time. Unlike other films, in which the hero is submersed in toxic goo and gains magic strength, or gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains superpowers, the premise of this flick is, if not highly believable, at least has a somewhat logical progression. A man invents a suit that enables him to fly and do other amazing things (and I don't want to give anything away so I'll keep it general). But said man is already a wunderkind, a genius son of an atomic scientist, who graduated top of his class at MIT. He doesn't gain his knowledge in a ridiculous manner, suddenly, from a prophesied eclipse or an extremely convenient nuclear a supporting cast that includes Terrence accident.

The newest Mexican food haven is located tight up the street from campus, with perfect hours for early morning and late night burrito fixes. They are open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday to Saturday and offer fairly cheap prices, especially for burrito-starved students. Upon entering, the sizzle of the grill and the sound of mariachi music are quite inviting. Sombrero's menu is a sea of burritos, tacos, combination plates, and other mouthwatering deliciousness. " For burrito critics, the carne asada burritos are fit for kings (and queens... and everyone else in the court). The standard carne asada is filled with guacamole, pico de gallo (tomatos, onion, cilantro), ajid of course, carne asada.

Wilson Creek's Almond Champagne BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Karl Strauss Brewing Company brews Endless Summer Light, a throwback to the 1964 movie "The Endless Sumpier," by filmmaker Bruce Brown, in San Diego, California. Karl Strauss operates six brewery restaurants in Southern California. The Carlsbad location sits closest to CSUSM. The company began in 1989 with Karl Strauss, his cousin, C EO and co-founder Chris Cramer, and Cramer's college comrade and the company's president, Matt Retner. Karl Strauss was born in Minden, Germany; He was actually born on the land of his father's brewery. He grew up on the brewery and left when he was 18. He earned a degree in Science of Malting and Brewing from the Technical University Munich at Weihenstephan, Germany. He person to receive Award of Honor Award of Merit Master Brewer's ation of the Ameri- tainer holds six 12 fluid ounce d^Bf brown glass bottles and retails for $7.99 at BevMo. A simple scene most likely taken from the movie "The Endless Summer" identifies as the centerpiece of the packaging. Sandy tan and sun burned orange hues color the packaging. The bottles adoring yellow bottle caps, share the same imaging. The beer pours smooth, like running water from a garden hose on a lawn on a hot summer day. No head forms but a thin brim of suds ensure that the rising carbonated bubbles do not release any flavoring of hops and malts. The beverage embodies a crisp amber color similar to the rays rising off the waves at local San Diego County beaches in summer time. The light beer enters the mouth sending a gentle surge of zest, then softens up and passes through leaving the mouth moist. With only 110 calories and 2.8% alcohol by ,volume the beer serves as a great summer refreshment for almost any occasion. Two weeks remain for the spring, semester and soon Cougars will be basking in the radiant warmth in San Diego under the beloved golden sun. Cougars will also be graduating, getting married, attending BBQ/ beach/pool parties etc. Endless Summer Light's characteristics ensure a relaxing and rejuvenating experience throughout the entirety of summer.

Champagne, France owns exclusive rights to uSe the term champagne for their sparkling wine. The U.S. recognizes these rights in respect to President Carter's signature in the Treaty of Versailles. However, the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty. Therefore, the U.S. legally allows U.S. manufacturers of sparkling wine to name their product "champagne" if the manufacturer clearly •indicates the geographical location in which the sparkling wine originates on their bottles. Essentially, champagne and sparkling wine are synonymous in the product they describe, regardless of the lingo. Wilson Creek Almond Flavored California Champagne retails for $10.99 at BevMo. The 750 ML bottle has an 11% alcohol by volume and arrives from Woodbridge, CA. The champagne displays a faint blonde shade when poured into a glass generating bitter and sugary scents.

Though fans of the band have awhile to wait, they can delight in the generous unveiling of Viva's first single, "Violet Hill." Generosity may well be an understatement. On April 27, Coldplay revealed that they would release "Violet Hill" from the band's website entirely free of charge beginning on April 29 at 12:l3PM (4:15AM Pacific Time) for exactly one week. Unfortunately, the surprise announcement came too late for the Pride to inform our favorite Brit-pop-loving classmates of this fabulous freebie. Without any publicity, "Violet H iir is already receiving massive amounts of air- play worldwide. If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing this morsel of musical bliss, you are in the right place to satiate your hunger before Viva hits iTunes. The song begins in a relatively expected way. Moody ambient guitar swims through a seemingly empty space in a rather lengthy 40-second intro. Suddenly, frontman Chris Martin's voice pierces through the foggy synth, "Was a long and dark December," not to be -confused with the Counting Crows song. The verse seems to settle into Coldplay's trademark heavyhanded piano only for a time, then a hairpin turn ensues in the form of Johnny Buckland's guitar coming down hard in the style of A Rush of Blood to the Head's "Politik." No real chorus exists but Martin's longing plea to a seemingly absent lover, "If you love me/Won't you let me know?" The verse to follow bears lyrics alluding to a war of sorts, "Priests clutched onto Bibles/ All rode out to fit theirrifles,"with sentiments concerning the fight akin to Keane's "A Bad Dream." Just past the halfway point, Buckland's guitar solo utilizes a sound that I, personally, have never heard out of these musicians. A simple vibe wins out in the end, conjuring a sight of Martin sitting solemnly alone calling out to his lost love. The single ultimately delivers a song structure like that of X&Y's "Square One:" a hushed intro, commanding verses, and a lullaby of a wrap-up. If Coldplay isn't your scene, Viva may just be the turning point. Rumored album elements include Middle Eastern percussion, Latininfluenced rhythms, looped electronic riffs, and Martin's newfound deeper vocals. Judging by Viva's free sample single, no one truly knows what to expect from the dynamic genius of Coldplay. Photo courtesyofAmazon.com review: Flobots M usicar f usion on y our s tereo BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer On televisions nationwide, the people can hear the perpetual sound of police sirens as "Grand Theft Auto IV" hit shelves April 29. Just in time to divert students during finals week, this offers addicting game play, similar to the previous titles in the series. Also similar to the previous games, the gamer plays as a criminal diving deep into the world of crime. GTAIV takes place in Liberty City, similar to New York City, and follows a character named Niko, a Serbian immigrant who is looking for success. His past as a soldier in the Bosnian War defines his actions as he is air unforgiving person who uses violence to climb the crime ladder. Though he cares about his cousin Roman, his true motivation is money. The objectives of the game are to steal cafs, avoid the police, and do nefarious deeds for money, much like the other games in the series. The first feature .that sets this, game apart is the depth of the map. The game is set on the islands of Liberty City, where the creators heightened the detail as compared to other games. The environment is much more interactive and more buildings are accessible, adding to the realism. Images courtesy ofgamedaily.com The game has a slightly cartoon look, but the graphics are smooth and it is a visual treat. Tactics are also a new part of the game, as the "rush-in, shoot 'em up" style will get the character killed. Players must use cover and the right weapon per situation to complete a mission. The game is available for Playstation 3, but it is oh the XBOX 360 where this game shines. Players can enjoy the numerous achievements to build their gamer score on XBOX Live. As well, there is a new multi-player element to the game. Online play can range from cooperative campaign play, racing through the city streets, to an all out urban brawl. This offers gamers more for their money. However, one could not address this game without a word of warning. GTA IV is an incredibly violent game and is not meant for children. Though young ones should not be playing M-Rated games such as Halg or Assassin's Creed anyway, this one is different because it is so realistically violent and contains strong adult themes including sex and drugs. Players should remember that it is just a game, and should contemplate if the lack of morals in the game makes it worthwhile. GTA IV is certainly a wellmade game and it has raised the bar for video game potential. Yet due to the content, players must think before they play. As I drove down the freeway, I listened to the radio and flipped through local rock stations trying to find anything worth listening to. I stopped on 91X because I heard the radio host saying that he was about to play new music. The song he played was called "Handlebars" by Flobots. As the song started all that was playing was a week plucking of a violin and a guy singing about how he can ride a bike without holding on the handlebars. The song didn't sound very promising, but I am very glad that I did not change the station. As the song went oh it exploded into a combination of a very impressive rap song combined with a rock feel to it. When it was over I literally sat in my car with goosebumps. I was instantly hooked. The second I got home, I looked up their album titled, "Fight With Tools," and listened to every track on iTunes. Each song hit me, and I realized that this would be the new album that I fall in love with. I instantly bought it and have not stopped playing it since. Flobots is made up of 7 very talented musicians: two emcees, base guitarists, a drummer, viola, and trumpet player. They doavery goodjob at combining the feel of a rock song with the steady flow of a hip-hop song. Throughout their album the soft horns and violins compliment their use'of steady heavy beats in the background. I am usually not into political music but pretty much every song talks about an important issue that takes place in our world. Their lyrics, which talk about such issues as 9/11, Katrina, or the war in Iraq, not only criticize these issues but also talk about positive things that can be done to improve our way of life. I was a little hesitant when I found out their album preached ' about some of these events because many times hip-hop artists can stray from the real meaning of these issues in their songs, but Flobots do no such thing. I believe the track "Handlebars" is the best overall track with its exceptional blend of eerie lyrics and massive back-' ground drums, guitar, and violin. Other great tracks on the album include "Same Thing," "Rise," and "Mayday!!!" Flobots' perfect blend of rock, hip-hop, and instrumental genius, makes this an album that you definitely need to check . out. v ^ �Tuesday; May 6, 2008 THE PRIDE By Tim Moore f Pride Stcgf Writer AIKEN by album sales, brings youtosfifthstudio release eek* off of their 1998 album "Stuà The dbum'sfirstsingle is the 6He track, *0n My Way Here. first children's' album.

Protests occurred in various circuits throughout the state. In Sacramento, more than 2,000 students participated in the march. Protesters in Los Angeles marched to the governor's office at the Reagan State Building. Students in San Diego, Riverside and Santa Barbara held similar protests. Lieutenant Governor and advocate of freezing tuition hikes, John Garamendi, joined protesters in Sacramento. "There is no more important investment than the investment in students," said Garamendi in an immediate press release from the California State Student Association. "We must stop taxing our young people, and we must once again invest in the intellectual infrastructure of our state." Also in attendance at the Sacramento protest were Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Senate President Pro Tem elect Darrell Steinberg, " Assembly members Julia Brownley and Anthoiiy Portantino—all of whom expressed opposition to the proposed cuts as National Day of Silence: Remembering Lawrence King BY ALEXANDER HAND Pride Staff Writer Friday, April 25, 2008 - Hundreds of thousands of students across the nation observed the National Day of Silence.

"Students across the state are already facing an affordability crisis," stated Dina Cervantes, Board Chair for the California State Student Association. "These fee hikes force students to drop out of school or take on a 20 hour plus work week in addition to their classes," she stated. "Even if we work and go to school, many of us still end up thousands of dollars in debt after we graduate." These efforts aim to convince the governor to revise the budget proposal he is to submit in May.

Naropa was putting up tremendous numbers and we had to really chip away at their lead," said Carl Hanson with Faculty Services. "It took an incredible 75.69% to achieve victory this year. Next year, we'll probably have to go even higher," said Hanson. "It makes mefeelreally proud to be a part of CSUSM and to know that we are number one in recycling," said Junior Business Major BeccaChaney. The annual contest consists of a ten-week long competition. During the competition, college campuses compete nationwide in various categories involving the reduction of waste. With more colleges entering each year, the contest adds categories accordingly. The contest began in 2001 with two competing colleges. The contest seems to double each year. In 2007, more than 200 colleges entered. In 2008, the competition doubled yet again to more than 400 including nearby colleges San Diego State University and University of California San Diego, This year the contest split the event into Whole Campus Division and Partial Campus Division. CSUSM won Grand Champion and others awards in 2007 and 2006. In 2005, the contest contained only two categories. CSUSM almost won Per Capita in 2005 but placed first in Recycling Rate. "We would like to thank everyone who contributed to CSUSM's victory by participating in RecycleMania 2008. We believe that our strength is consistency. We have created an environment at this institution where recycling is just part of our campus climate. It is in our collective culture. We simply need to maintain our habits today and pass on the legacy of environmental awareness to each new generation of students tomorrow," said Hanson. The contest also relies on the efforts of the Green Team and the Blue Crew. The two groups are major components in the competition.

The modern trend is to parody a genre or type of movie and title it as such, but the humor is not clever, thus making the f ilm unwatchable. The producers of these movies are more concerned with profits than making a decent film. Such is the case with "The Simpsons Movie." By slapping "The Simpsons" title on this flick, they conned countless people into seeing this awful film.

Reed. Haynes has worked closely with her Executive Council and University Budget committee in recent weeks in preparation of addressing the cuts to the campus community. "Nobody's really saying that there's going to be much of a positive solution for '08-09 and therefore, it's going to take post the national election for some bipartisan movement in this state for revenue enhancement solutions for '09-10," said Haynes, when asked how long it would take before colleges could see progress. "How fast that's going to happen, post the election? People are not quite as confident, so we are very informally saying that it could well be two years before we can right this California state economy." In addition to the budget update, the University Budget committee distributed petitions to each person in attendance and collected them, promising to fax each one to the governor later that day. Concurrently, CSUSM set up outdoor phones and fax banks in Kellogg Plaza for students, s taff, and faculty to tell the governor not to cut the CSU. A .pdf version of the budget update is available in Budget Central at www. csusm.edu/plan/budgetcentral numbers have doubled, so we're pretty happy with the numbers of nominations that we got," said Franklin. Anybody can attend this event, although an RSVP was suggested. President Karen Haynes will be attending the event to deliver an opening speech, as well as guest keynote speaker, Ashley Walker, an inductee into the 2006 to the Hall of Fame for the Women's History Museum Education Center.

College students typically have a smaller vacation budget, but thisv should not limit f un and memorable vacation options. Careful and thoughtful prioritizing can maximize à budget to make the most of summer vacation. If a vacation includes a foreign country, a passport will be required as verifiable identification, so have a valid passport available well in advance of the travel date. There are many low budget vacation activities available—with some creative thinking it is easy to make a summer trip into a memorable event. 1) Road Trip One choice is the idealistic "road trip." It may sound unoriginal—and there are certainly cons to this because of rising gas prices—but a road trip is a great way to stretch out a budget. Try offsetting the cost by gathering a group of friends to share the price of gas and alternate driving. There are many places to visit (such as national parks, theme parks, friends/ family) so plan ahead with the group and make sure to have correct directions and factor in expenses beforehand so it can be a worry-free adventure. For accommodations along the trip, be sure to research inexpensive hotels and book reservations ahead of time or have an alternative plan to stay with family or friends along the way, With enough people, splitting a hotel room cost will not end u p too expensive. To find inexpensive accommodations, Travelocity and Expédia are good sources that are easy to navigate and continually advertise special deals. On Travelocity. com there are hotel rates for as low as $32 per night in the Reno-Tahoe area. If a travel destination is too far away or would be too time consuming for a road trip, many travel packages are available that bundle hotel costs and airline, tickets. To travel to a "hot spot" such as Las Vegas, Travelocity offers a $226 hotel + flight package for each person. Travelocity and Expedia offer several other moderately priced packages to other destinations, such as Miami, Florida ($454 per person including airfare and hotel). 2) Service Projects Another option is to forgo the traditional summer vacation and partake in an alternative summer breaks—volunteering efforts to help charities and relief organizations. This is becoming more popular around college campuses and even high schools. There are many activities to choose: building houses (Habitat for Humanity), clearing debris from stormaffected areas, tutoring and teaching younger children, working with hospital patients, and teaching English to immigrants. For example, CSUSM's Alternative Spring Break in March 2007 helped the aftereffects of Katrina in New Orleans. To volunteer in the summer for Habitat for Humanity, the costs can range f rom $50 to $150 and the locations are scattered across the fifty states. Check their summer listings to find a specific date, region, and cost: http://www.habitat.org/ y outhprograms/suppdocs/colchalsummerbreak_sitelist.pdf 3) Camping Another low-budget vacation is camp' ing. Camping is a great way to spend time with friends, especially for those who enjoy the outdoors. Remember that renting a cabin can be less expensive with more people. There are many locations and activities to choose from depending on one's interests. While San Marcos is in a great location to access many beaches, there are other regional spots to enjoy other water activities. Making a reservation at a state park can be done ahead of time online (a nonrefundable $7.50). Depending on the group's size and how far in advance a reservation is made, South Carlsbad costs can range from $45.00 to $225.00. South Carlsbad does not feature day-use facilities. One of the five-most visited •Cali- fornia state parks, San Onofre, in north Oceanside, has alcohol restrictions, so be sure to stay on top of rules that pertain to each park. Another state park, Cardiff, actually does not have any camping facilities, but pets are allowed. Close by to Cardiff is San Elijo State Beach, which does feature tents and RV sites. To get an idea of what to expect from other camping locations, the California State Park's website breaks down camping fees: http:// www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=23293 4) Cruise Though it may not be as inexpensive as some of the previous options, a cruise is still an affordable option. Cruises can be a great deal because while most cruises t ry to add as many people possible with low fares, optional expenses such as alcohol and excursions can be highpriced and add up Textbook buy backs BY B ILLRHEIN Pride Staff Writer The semester is coming to a close, and it is time f or students to contemplate what to do with the books they spent so much money on a few months ago. Some books are valuable in cash or intrinsic value and may be worth keeping. However, if students want to sell books and get money back, there are a few options. The first option is to use the CSUSM bookstore Buy Back. According to the store, they will be accepting books starting May 7 in stationed tents in Founder's plaza. The University Store and Buy Back Tents will be open until 7 p.m. on every weekday except Friday, when they will close at 3 p.m. The process is simple: students can b ring back their used textbooks where representatives of the bookstore will examine them. They will also scan the barcode to determine if the book is usable next year, or if the edition is out of date. If a student agrees on a transaction, they will get a predetermined amount of money back for each book, and the store can resell the book next semester. This s ervice will r un through finals week. Other options lie online. Websites such as www.booksvalue.com and www. ecampus.com o ffer a similar service as the bookstore. Students can browse the site and see how much they can get back for a copy of their book. If a student agrees on the price, he or she contacts the site, mails the book to them, and gets money back. These sites then sell the books to others on their site as well as other websites, such as www. half.com. The previously mentioned www.half. com is another place to get c^sh for books, but it requires patience. This site is a branch of www.ebay.com, but does not require the auctioning process. Students and other Internet users can list DVDs, CDs, and books they wish to sell. Unlike the other options, the seller can name his or her own price. However, that also means waiting for someone to purchase it. A fter a person makes a sale, www.half.com will deposit the money into an account, t aking a small fee for their service. Therefore, if students do not want to hang on to b ulky or unpractical books, quickly. But once again, with more people, cabins can fit up to four people, so the cost of a small cabin can be split up. Travelocity and Expedia offer many special cruise packages as well as cruise companies. Expedia.com advertises Carnival cruise packages to Mexico for rates as low as $189. At Travelocity, for a four-night, roundtrip cruise starting in Los Angeles and traveling to Baja California, Mexico, and other California destinations, it can cost $209 for an inside cabin and $609 for a suite. Remember to have a passport ready in advance if a travel destination involves a foreign country. Travel agencies can be more helpful for a more customized approach to planning a cruise. There are many interesting and f un activities to take part in during summer vacation — even under a budget! With the ideas suggested above, there is still a lot of room to make a vacation creative and personable for a memorable summer! What to do with unwanted textbooks there are many options to sell them. There are resources on campus and online to make some money back, either for books next year or for the festivities summer has to offer.

The Cougars jumped out to an early onerun lead in the bottom of the second inning on a Tristan Gale solo home run. Biola got the run back in the top of the third, and went on to tack on two in the top of the fifth and one in the top of the seventh. The Cougars closed the gap to one after scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh on Jackson Chapelone and Dane Ponciano solo home runs. Biola added an insurance run in the top of the ninth and closed the door on the Cougars in the bottom half to take the win. Despite receiving their first loss in nine games on Tuesday, the Cougars continued their winning ways of late as they faced Cal State San Bernardino on Friday, taking a close one by a score of 5-4. The Cougars got on the board first, scoring on a Terry Moritz RBI single in the top of the third. San Bernardino countered with a run in the bottom of the third, and again in the fourth. The Cougars did their damage in the top of the sixth inning, scoring four runs on two hits and two San Bernardino errors. San Bernardino tried their hand at a comeback in the bottom of the eighth, cutting the deficit to one. However, a solid defensive effort by the Cougars kept the lead safe en route to the win. The Cougars again saw Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday, this time at home for a doubleheader that resulted in a split. The Cougars combated a three-run top of the first with a run in the bottom of thefirst,and four more in the bottom of the fourth. The game remained quiet from there on out thanks to strong pitching and defense for the Cougars. The Cougars could not, however carry over the momentum into the second game of the doubleheader. Despite coming out to an early 4-2 lead, the Cougars could not hold on, losing by a score of 13-7.

"I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" The New York Times' bestseller "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" is by Duke and the University of Chicago alum, Tucker Max. The novel is a hilarious romp through the wild stories of Tucker Max's life, which makes "National Lampoon's: Van Wilder" seem tame by comparison. The stories include such antics as "Tucker goes to Vegas," and "The Now Infamous Tucker Max Charity Auction Debacle." Rather than describe each story in great detail, I will simply say that this book was hard to finish because of the difficulty To find out more about Josh Damigo, check out his webpage or myspace: www.joshdamigo.com or www. myspace.com/joshdamigo Do you have a favorite song you have written?

They care mostly what your experiences are in your field. to restrain from collapsing while laughing—each story was better than the one before. Tucker makes friends and enemies wherever he goes. This book does, however, demonstrate the truth of the effects of alcohol and how sometimes people tend to take advantage of others. But if you're looking for interesting stories, each one like some legendary college party complete with alcohol induced blackouts, you're in for a treat. This book is like taking the most bizarre stories from every scoundrel and rogue you know, and multiplying them exponentially. Each one is more than just risqué encounters and pan- demonium. Rather, they are the true encounters of Tucker Max. During each of his crazy nights, Tucker takes a voice recorder with him to help him document the nights that most individuals would be too drunk to remember. Some think that Tucker's actions are too ruthless—I found it them an escape from the reality of school. "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" is a book that can help alleviate the stress of finals temporarily. So sit down with a box of tissues and indulge in what will be a memorable, tearfilled, abdominally exhausting experience. Photo courtesy Sarah Hernandez / The Pride Street Kings An action-filled hi BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer "Street Kings" is Director David Ayers's second followup to "Training Day." "Street Kings" is a throwback cop thriller that is highlighted by a great story and solid acting from Keanu Reeves and company. Yes, Keanu Reeves. Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves), a veteran LAPD detective, works in the Special Vice Squad Unit in Los Angeles. Ludlow has been suffering from depression since his wife died. On top of that, his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (Terry Crews) was murdered by two gang members. Ludlow goes on a wild and reckless pursuit through the mean streets of Los Angeles to track down the killers and get justice for Washington. Captain Jack Wander (Forest Whitaker) is Ludlow's supervisor who must keep him from going over the edge and out of the cross hairs of Internal Affairs Captain James Biggs (Hugh Laurie). "Street Kings" starts off fast and never slows down. Within the first ten minutes, viewers are able to see that Detective Ludlow is a highly skilled cop. The movie moves so quickly that no ones knows who is the good or bad cop, and by the end viewers are surprised with the thrilling twist of who is really good and bad. The only aspect that outweighs the acting of Reeves, Whitaker, and Laurie, is the writing. This movie may not have the most action, but the fast-paced story keeps viewers on the edge of their seats up until the action packed ending that will leave the audience saying "wow." Despite what the critics say, this movie is a great cop thriller and is Reeves's best work since "The Matrix." �T HE P RIDE A & E Tuesday, April 29; 2008 il Siam Surprise BY JACKIE CARBAJAL.

Land Shark Lager BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Margaritaville Brewing Company brews Land Shark Lager in Jacksonville, Florida. Jimmy Buffett owns Buffet's Margaritaville Holding LLC, the parent company of the brewery. Originally, the brewery produced the lager solely for Margaritaville Restaurants. The lager's popularity grew and the brewery decided to sell the product nationwide in retail outlets. There are currently eight restaurants in the United States. The closest restaurants to CSUSM are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Glendale, Arizona. The remaining restaurants are located near Florida with the exception of one restaurant in Cancun, Mexico. The cardboard pack- ^ ^ a ging holds 12-fluid ounce clear glass bottles. The six-pack retails for $7.29 at BevMo. A soft yellow and navy blue comprise the majority of the coloring used on the container. A simple beach scene with a large shark fin planted firmly on land captures center stage. The bottles contain the same imaging and labeling. Bronze, yellow, and navy blue fill in the artwork on the lager 's bottle cap consisting of the lager's logo. The lager has an alcohol by volume of 4.7%, slightly lower than average beers. Land Shark pours easily, generating a quarter inch thick head that remains for the majority of consumption. The lager radiates a light golden hue similar to champagne. It emits a faint biscuit infused aroma, and enters the mouth calmly like small, gentle waves at high noon beachside. A slight peak of tastes occurs immediately then disappears as the lager strolls beyond. Given the soothing nature of the brew, it should pair well with BBQ orientedL events and food. Of course* Jimmy Buffett's 1985 hit song "Margaritaville" is a nice addition during consumption. Furthermore, the lager deserves a more creative styled glass than regular lagers. The craziness associated with the ending of a spring semester indicates one thing: the close proximity of summer where flipflops and bottle tops relax and calm the Cougar. Surprise 2, for example, valued at $7.95 includes f ried rice or steamed rice, Chicken Panang Curry (spicy), garden salad with Thai cream dressing, f ried t ofu and a soda. To cap off your night, a definite must is the banana rolls dessert. Just picture this for a second: bananas deep f ried in egg roll skins, served with chocolate syrup and whipped cream for the low price of $3.25. Sounds heavenly, right? The price is worth the risk and makes it that much easier to order seconds if need be. The only downside to the Siam experience is that you may find yourself tipping 50% of the bill because you are that satisfied—it has been done. The service is friendly and accommodating and the food speaks for itself—figuratively I hope, but I must admit, I have not yet tried the duck. Siam Surprise is located at Overland Center, 26490 Ynez Road, Suite B in Temecula. For more menu options, map directions, and contact information, visit www.siamsurprise.com.

Man Crush? BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every night before I go to bed, I sit on the couch in the living room and go back and f orth between MTV, VH1, and Fuse, watching music videos. It is late night so there are usually some odd videos on that either make me feel uncomfortable or like I am back in the 1960's. But on this special night while channel s urfing, one of the most b eautiful sounds I had ever heard came f rom V Hi's Nocturnal State, a late night music program that plays up-and-coming artists. I listened and watched the music video intently because the person singing had one of the most melodic and calming voices I had ever heard. I waited until the end to see who it was and the ending credits read "Justin Nozuka - A fter Tonight." I had heard Justin Nozuka before but couldn't purchase his CD off iTunes because he did not sell it in the U.S. So I went to my room and got my laptop, searched for him on iTunes and by the grace of God, his CD had j ust been released in the U.S. Instantly I purchased h is CD titled "Holly" and listened to every song. I have not stopped listening to his CD since. He has a Jason Mraz-like tone but hits notes I did not know men could hit. Justin is only 19 years old, but sings of things beyond the average teenager's wisdom. With songs like my favorite "Save Him," Nozuka sings of a woman who was abused by both her father and b oyfriend. His chilling vocals make you listen to every word he says. His more upbeat songs like "After Tonight" have catchy choruses that instantly make you happy. It is safe to say I have developed a "man crush" on Justin Nozuka. Sadly, he has only played a few shows in the United States, such as the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Nozuka was born in New York then moved to Toronto and has lived there since. But due to his growing popularity, he is beginning to p erform more in the States, primarily on the east coast. With fame coming to him at such a tender age, I can only imagine what great things he will be doing in the f uture. Is [ M m - still alive and wew documentaryt.

As Bush's answer to the dying economy, the IRS comes off as if they are handing out free money to more than 137 mil­lion Americans beginning May 2. The Economic Stimulus Pay­ments are the government's last hope of pushing the consum­ers to spend money. Anticipat­ing that taxpayers will spend the stimulus checks, it's pretty obvious that main goal of the payments is to help boost the economy. Divvied out in three differ­ent amounts, according to how a person files their return, you could get a check for the amount of$300,$600,or$1200. Checks are being released in waves of disbursements with the various disbursement periods depen­dent on the last two digits of your Social Security Number. Yet, as America finds herself in the wake of a recession, spend­ing that check should be the last thing you do. What should you do with the economic stimulus pay­ment? Save it. Invest it. Pay off tion debt college graduates face after commencement is $21,000 (according to The Project on Student Debt). Sure, you might not have any debt now, or maybe there's only $500 on your credit , card and you make regular pay­ments, but who knows what the next few years or even the rest of your college years will bring. Why waste perfectly good money now, when you could be using it as a safety blanket for the future by saving it or paying ­off already existing debt. The IRS is shelling out at the very least 41 billion dollars with these stimulus checks-that's if into the economy. And yes, the economy does need it; the value of the dollar is the lowest it has been in the past 80 years. But with that knowledge, and the deepening recession, doesn't it make more sense to hold onto the money for dear life? Save every penny you can. With the rising cost of educa­tion as the currently proposed budget cuts are planned to increase tuition by 10%, park­ing permits are scheduled to rise in cost, and gas isn't fore­cast to be cheap this summer either-who can afford not to save the money?

Even a bad movie In this world, can have a good trailer, there are two such as "Star Wars: Epi­types of trail­sode I-The Phantom ers, those that Menace." Though it is are good and got questionable if George viewers excited about a film, and those which decrease interest in a film and possibly give the ending away. In the age ofYou­Tube and Internet videos, trail­ers have become as important as TV commercials and public advertising. Because of this, there have been some great trailers, which successfully encourage people to see films, even if the movie is not that great. The ability of a trailer to motivate people can make or break a film. The first two "Spiderman" films serve as examples of a good trailer in the "Spiderman" film series. They had elements that made them must-see films. On the other hand, "Spider­man 3" had an average trailer and did not play a big part in drawing people to the cinema. Though this film did well at the Lucas should have made the modern "Star Wars," the preview for the first one was a motivating factor to seeing the movie. This raises questions about what makes a good trailer, which I think, lie in psychol­ogy. Successful trailers often have similar elements tha( excite people. They often start slow but build tension to increase interest in a film. This also includes snippets and moments of the film with dia­logue and music to stimulate the audience. If there were awards for greatness in trailers, one would certainly have to go to the . second Lord of the Rings film ''The Two Towers." It may not have been the strongest install­ment, however, I, along with several Internet users, regard it is the best trailer ever. It starts with serene music and dramatic cinematography. The editors of the trailer weave in images of intense action. As the music builds, the tension, dialogue, and text spark interest. Whi1e the images of battle and intense dialogue are excit­ing, the best element of this trailer is the music, which directly borrows from Clint Mansell's incredible score from "Requiem for A Dream." These elements keep the emo­tion building and relaxing until the final moments-of the trailer where there is an onslaught of energy through music and the immortal image of double doors. Though trailers do not mean as much to viewers after seeing the advertised movie, this one still gives me goose bumps. On the other hand, there are trailers such as the ones for "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Made of Honor," which makes me want to see the movies even less that before watching the previews. Ele­ments from these . trailers, namely "Sarah Marshall," that put me off are bothersome lines such as "from the makers of." This is vague and could refer to any of the hundreds of people who the film following that line credit. This ranges from the director or producer to the caterer or key grip. As for "Made of Honor," after watching the trailer, I feel as though I have seen the movie in its entirety. Though these types of movies about pluto_nic friends getting together are already predictable, the trailer shows in detail how the movie is going to end. A final bad element oft~ailers is the line "a twist you will not see coming." Viewers can find this line in the previews of every other action and horror movies. In ~ddition, because it causes people like me to look for a twist, one can usually see it coming. These and the lack elements found in good previews make for awful trailers. As the summer movies approach, some trailers will inspire me to hand over money to see a film, and others will make me not even care seeing about the DVD. A trailer is a magical movie element that can put people off a good movie, and pull others into a bad one. THE PRIDE 'OPINION Tuesday, April 22, 2008 3 A Very_ BIOod, Sweat, Tears Wedding BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Well, we've been through a lot. I don't know who to pity the most. The people who suffered arranged marriages through the Blood, Sweat, Tears Dating Service (2/12) or the feral cats that got sick from the Skittles, and gas still costs more than buying a baby on the black market (3/4). My turtle feels emo­tionally smothered (3/25). I still hate exercise (10/9). The thought of trying to raise little people is no less terrifying (4/15), and traveling is still a test offaith and moral fiber (11/13). Luckily, I no longer have to deal with terrifying and inappropriate dating incidents involving Wiis (I 0/2), which gives me a great sense ofinner peace. You may ask WHY I no longer have to deal with it. Reaching the final stretch of an era of blood, sweat, and tears, we begin to plan a wedding. Oh yes, despite being the sole author of "Fear and Loathing in Commit­ted Relationships," which is much scarier than the one set in Las Vegas, I'm doing it. I kept the turtle alive and I'm getting married. Now I just have to keep myself and the fiance alive. No, it's not PETA people in scary masks (I bought them off with adorable, fuzzy l:\Ilimals), or the Animal Cracker Conglomerate (3/18) trying to take me out before I start a revolution. You see, kiddos, my· fiance is half black. It didn't matter to me. It doesn't matter to him, which is lucky for me. It doesn't matter to the people who love me, or to anyone No, you're not lost. This is the year 2008, not 1948. And this is coastal southern California, not the wilds of. .. well, wherever in America you're allowed to be racist. I'd like to believe there's nowhere like that, but I'm not stupid. I could sit down and be afraid, give up the love ofmy life, or cancel my order for 500 taquitos. I could rethink the idea ofhaving the wed­ding outside in nature, and instead have it inside the Pope Mobile (bul­letproof glass, what what). But instead, I follow my own advice. I fear not. If I kick off tomorrow, most likely driving too quickly and dangerously (9/18) or falling down the stairs (9/11), you should eat some delicious guaca­mole in my honor and follow these pearls of wisdom. Sort of pearls of wisdom. Ok, really only one. From me to you, happy unbirthday. Just. ..follow along. The only thing you absolutely have to do, besides have good sex at least once in your life, and laugh everyday, is let go of your hatred. In fact, let go • of it right now. Hatred, bigotry, racism. You profit nothing by these things, and you hurt yourself. Hatred is like cancer. If there's a cancer inside of you, it's not going to hurt someone you dislike. It's going to hurt you. And hatred of any kind is just that. A tumor that will choke the happi­ness and life out of you. If it's big­ otry or racism, sit down. If you're religious, find a place in your holy book that justifies your bigotry. Now bring it to me and I'll show you a hundred verses that cancel it out. If you're not religious, tell me what good your bigotry does you. Do you feel warmer with it? Does it keep you company? Does it laugh with you and have coffee with you? Does it somehow make you a better person? If you have an individual specifically that you hate, think of them right now. Picture them being -pelted with rubber duckies and then let it go. They have pains you know nothing about, and their own problems. And when you encounter some­ one who hasn't let their hate go, here's a nifty little trick. Don't be afraid. Even if it's directed at you. And your fiance. And you're thinking that Kevlar would look great with your wedding dress. Or your copy editor offered to make . you a wedding dress OUT OF Kevlar. The reason I do things with humor, instead of fear, is because life is serious. In fact, so serious that none ofus are going to make it out alive. Worries, like hatred, will overwhelm you and gobble you up. In fact, imagine that your worries ARE the rubber duckies, now pelt them at that person you so dislike, or who dislikes you, and let both of them go. So yes, go out. Let guacamole flow like fountains. Chunky, tasty fountains. And if you come to my • wedding, feel free to arm your­self to the teeth. I'm a Girl Scout at heart, and you all know the Girl Scout motto: One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. Er, I mean, be prepared. You know, that honestly might be the Boy Scout motto. But you get the point. We rate everythin_g else, why ·not RateMyCop.com? in his or her right mind. But yes, there's someone who wants to hurt me for it. I mean, honestly, you'd think people would be more upset that he's French than anything else. Do you know what a snob he is about mustard? It's unbearable. BY JONATHAN TROMP.SON Pride Staff Writer ,.com?Living in Southern California, lately, it is nearly impossible not to notice all of the attention area police departments are getting. Los Angeles received national attention for corruption in numerous scandals. A few stand-outs include: the Rampart Division, the C.R.A.S.H. unit, notto men­tion the name that is now syn­onymous with LA police cor­ruption, Rodney King. Most recently LA police made the front-page news again with their actions taken against unarmed press and protestors at LA's MacAurthur Park. Orange County's former Sheriff Corona is now under federal indictment for abuse of office and cor­ruption charges. Orange County deputies are now potentially facing murder charges for various roles in jail house beating murders, allegedly being perpetrated both by inmates with depu­ties' knowledge, or, by the deputies themselves. In recent weeks, local San Diego residents find them­selves in one of the most frightening scenarios, as an off duty San Diego officer fires on and hits a mother and her 8-year-old son. While details continue to come out in the case, all are innocent until proven guilty, allega- Starbucks on Campus:What is youdavorite drink?

With all that is going on in our communities, it would seem almost natural that we would want to know more about the people that are "serv­ ing and protecting" us. A web site that is recei_ving attention as a result of heightened com­ munity interest both nationally and internationally, is, Rate­ MyCop.com. The LA based RateMyCop. •com motto is "y<;>u have the right to be informed." The site's basic premise is allowing users who register with an e-mail address to leave comments on its forum and community law enforcement officer database in regards to the law enforcement officers they have encountered and dealt with in their commu­nities. Comments and opinions range from praise like an assessment of one San Diego officer being "Very profes­ sional and businesslike in all respects," to a wide range of serious criticisms and accusa­ tions, that I will leave to the imagination. BadCopNews.com is an international law enforcement watchdog site based in Amster­ dam. The site's name speaks for itself, _as it archives articles from international reports of law enforcement abuses.

THE PRIDE NEWS Saving big with parking adjunction BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Many at Cal State San Marcos can agree that the price for park­ing is exorbitantly expensive, and the high prices of parking viola­tions do not help to alleviate the depression of an empty wallet. But with a brand· new program offered by the Parking Adjudica­tion office here at Cal State San Marcos, many students and fac­ulty can save some much needed cash. Starting Tuesday April 22nd to Wednesday April 23"1, Park­ing Adjudication will waive the $25.00 late fee for any ticket ifyou ·pay your outstanding fee on these dates. The ijew program will help those with late fees to pay, so that they are not plagued by the fee of their violation and a $25.00 late fee. "We know that the economy is getting kind ofbad and we wanted to help students if they have any outstanding citations, they can pay it on those two days ... and we will waive the $25.00 late fee for them on each citation," stated Patti Hale of Parking Adjudication at CaJ State San Marcos. Even for tickets that students and faculty have received in the past, the late fees will simply get waived. For example, if someone has four previous citations charg­ing $50.00 each, the late fees for all four will total to $100. But ifa stu­dent or faculty member come in on the 22 or 23 and pay their citation charges, the total $100 late fee for all four citations will be waived. This will allow any driver to this campus to save money and park­ing problem that has been plaguing them resolved. The prices for parking permits for staff, faculty, and especially students are expensive, and many have voiced their opinions in the form of protests and petitions. But what many don't understand is that Parking Services is a self­sufficient company with no finan­cial stability from the university. With a proposed parking garage planned for completion in 2010, the funds for such a proj­ect must come from somewhere. In reality, the prices set for per­mits or violations will actually contribute to the advancement of the school, not to be brutal capitalism. "Our motto here is to educate, not to adjudicate" stated Hale. With the initiation of this event, all ·drivers of this institution will have the oppor­tunity to save money in these troubled times. From ELEMENTARY, page l on her master's thesis while already teaching at Farr. "It was exciting for my stu­dents to see that I wrote a book that is at the library they were just at," she said. Throughout their visit, the students were reminded that CSUSM is "everyone's uni­ versity" and that "everyone can come here" as long as they study hard, learn how to write and never give up. Hernandez Payne said it is very impor­tant, that despite the challenge of living in a low socio-eco­nomic area, the children still count on very supportive par­ents. She said language is one of their biggest challenges, but despite that, every teacher at Farr Elementary visits every single household of every child in their classrooms. They also have parent meetings once a month in which the parents are provided with activities, read­ing tips and other material to practice with their children. "The Latino culture values education a lot," she said. "The big challenge is the language bar­rier, but we still have a lot of sup­port. Visiting their homes makes us understand the living situation and allows us to get to know the child better." Parents who were among those visiting the campus said bringing children even at such a young age can be nothing but beneficial. "I like the idea because this way he can start realizing what his future may look like," said Maria Zavala, parent to a fifth grader. "This keeps him focused and motivated, he can start think­ing about what he wants, to be and what he wants to study, and make him strive for a better future." Hernandez Payne said it is very important to get children think­ing about college this early on, so it doesn't go to the back of their minds. "We want them to think that college is not something that you may or may not go to," she said. "It's actually something that will be the next step."

Zumaya, a IO-year profes­sional photographer, attends classes between picking up and dropping off his three daugh­ters. He initially attended SDSU where he tried to launch a year­book there as well. Fortunately, for CSUSM but unfortunate for Zumaya, "The project was not able to be com­pleted and go to press because the funding we had did not follow through on their prom­ise," he said. After his first debacle with SDSU he returned to CSUSM in pursuit of finishing his degree with "a better plan and [the abil­ity] to provide personal money to by skateboaf'\ . for resisting and officer.

She wanted to organize a yearbook club. They became acquaintances and remain in contact today. Ultimately, "the success of this project is dependent on funding and support from the University," said Zumaya. The project gathers funding in other ways as well. The proj­ect offers free online portraits for graduating CoBA students. The project enables students to purchase their portraits. The project allots a portion of the sales to cover costs associated with producing a physical year­book. "Results from the Senior Experience team's surveys led to the creation of our prototype yearbook publication for CoBA. We have plans for next year to complete a yearbook for the [entire] University or possibly separate yearbooks for the indi­vidual colleges," said Zumaya.

From the moment I set foot on this University my loy­alty, passion, and love has been with CSUSM in every way. I had to ask myself the question before running for office, "What if I did not get elected ASI President?" After reflection, my answer to this question was, "I will con­tinue to engage and be engaged in CSUSM's growth to my utmost ability and capacity." When the reasons are right, what you stand for can never be defeated. How will you balance this with your job as a Resident Advisor? In order to engage fully into my role as ASI President, I must make tough decisions, this will be the first. I am 0 or 100%. This is what you get when you choose me. Balance, organization, and time management will be key to executing successfully as ASI President and an RA. I look forward to discussing the pos­sible options with Brian Dawson (Director ofUVA) in order for me to thrive in the year to come. How will you foster diversity on campus? This will come naturally because it is the forefront of who I am and what I do --I am a con­sensus builder. I have come to listen and to be the voice of the st}ldent body. Bringing people together from all paths of life is what I strive to achieve. Being a Resident Advisor for the inter­national & multi-cultural expe­nence has been an excellent training ground and an invalu­able opportunity in order for me to call everyone to the table, not to agree every time, but to under­stand each other every time. What do you imagine will be your biggest problem? -Bring the worst, scariest, and ugliest problems to me.

Sheehan, who's son Casey died in the Iraq War in 2004, has gar­nered a considerable amount of national attention in recent years for her activism against the Iraq War and the policies of the Bush Administration. Her month-long "Camp Casey" protest in August 2005 outside of the President's ranch in Crawford, Texas became the focal point of the anti-war movement, launching Sheehan into the media spotlight. It was in Texas that CSUSM's Dr. Linda Pershing met and devel­oped a relationship with Sheehan. "I'm pretty good friends with pro­fessor Pershing," said Sheehan. "I got to know her in Texas and she has been a supporter of our efforts for a long time." It came as a surprise to many to hear that Sheehan would be making an appearance on campus, which comes in the middle of her bid for Nancy Pelosi's seat in the House of Representatives. When asked how she ended up at CSUSM, Sheehan pointed to her friendship with Dr. Persh­ing saying, "I've met a lot of her students across the country and they've wanted me to come for a long time. I was invited [by Pershing] and I love coming to colleges and high schools and talking." Given the uproar when Michael Moore was slated to speak on campus, Shee­han's visit was sur­prisingly met with little protest from the campus community. Throughout her pre­sentation the crowd was relatively mild as students both in sup­port of and opposed to her message lis­tened intently. Even with mixed degrees of support and opposition, Shee­han hasn't signaled her intentions to slow down any time soon.

The flags of over 40 different nations flew and representatives of over 30 different student orga­nizations were on hand at the fair, including France, Vietnam, Ger­many, Japan, Mexico, the Philip­pines, and the Middle East. The event was free and many of the organizations offered students a culinary taste indigenous to their respective countries. Hungry stu­dents lined up for crepes, bratwurst, egg rolls, and even birthday cake for every month of the year. "This is just a . fun way for people to think internationally," said April Paustian of Global Connections. "It's easy to think in American terms that so many students are accustomed to, but there's a whole other part that this country is all about. Sharing that aspect is a good way to grow." This year marks the sixth year of the fair's existence. The Uni­versity Global Affairs Office organized this year's event and sponsors included Associated Stu- Students dressed in traditional attire dents, Inc., the Office of Global Education, Student Life and Lead­ership, different student multicul­tural organizations and the Lan­guage Learning Center.

FEATURES The heathy side of tea Getting the most out of your beverage Afarewell to Dr. Newman LlWR professor says goodbye to CSUSM BY ARIANNE SCHULZ Pride Staff Writer Tea is a beverage full of health bene­fits-whether it is black tea, green tea, · white tea, oolong tea, or herbal tea. While tea is sometimes a general term for a large grouping of hot beverages, "tea" (this applies to black, green, and white tea) is actually an infusion of the leaves of the blooming white-flower, evergreen bush (Camellia sinesis) native to China and India. The term "tea" is used gen­erally for the term of infusion because marketers found con­sumers responded more favor­ably to it rather than labeling products as "herbal infu­sions." The only differences between the different vari­eties of tea (as previously noted: black, white, and green tea all originate from the same plant, Camellia sinesis) are how it is processed after the leaves are picked. Black tea is the darkest color because it is the most processed. Though black tea is the most processed/oxidized, studies have found that black tea still con­tains many beneficial compounds that can contribute to human health. Black tea is the most commonly consumed and pro­duced tea in the world. Another variation of tealeaf process­ing produces green tea. Green tea is less processed than black tea"T"""the leaves may be steamed or baked after:heipg'immedi­ately picked and thilpi-eserv~s,•a lot of the . antioxidant compounds in tea that make it such a health wonder. Green tea is very popular in Asia and has become increas­ing popular around the world. . The least amount of processing of tealeaves produces a rare, fragile tea­ . white tea. White tea 1s described as having the most delicate flavor and it also contains the most 0 X l ­ dants. White tea is only picked at certain times during the year· and after j:,eing picked," it is promptly dried with little or no oxidation exposure. Though white tea offers many health· benefits, green tea receives a lot of main­stream attention for its health advantages. Tea contains antioxidants, which neutral­ize the effects ofoxidants/free radicals that are products of cell metabo­lism. Tea contains flavonoids and catechins that are types of antioxidants that are effec­tive at neutraliz­ing free radicals. This is impor­t a n t because free-radical damage is being stud­ied to determine .its co_ntribution_to dis­ ~ ~ • . T eases and other health problems. Recently, a study in the Molecular Nutri­ tion and Food Research journal reports their findings that by adding citrus ele­ments to green tea, the catechins (antioxi­dants) became more stabile. While most teas are high in antioxidant compounds such as catechins, humans do not typi­cally "reap" or absorb all of these because they need to be in an acidic environment to increase absorption. There are many ways to implement this-try adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of orange, lemon, grapefruit, or lime juice to 1 cup of green tea. Additionally, tea manufacturers are making it even easier for tea con­sumers to get the most antioxidants out of green tea by offering green tea blends with citrus components already added in with tea. Look for Celestial Seasonings' Antioxidant Green Tea Blend or Salada's Original Green Tea Antioxidant Blend, which can most likely be found at local grocery stores. If caffeine content is a concern, there are many tea blends offered on the market that are decaffeinated (usually by carbon dioxide effervescence, which "cleanly" removes 99.6% to 99.9% of caffeine). According to Celestial Seasonings Tea, the caffeine contents of tea are roughly the following per 1 cup serving: black tea (60 mg), green tea (30 mg), and white tea (50 mg). Celestial Seasoning also notes for comparison the caffeine contents of 1 cup servings of coffee (90 mg) and soda (45 mg). So, simply put: enjoy tea-there is sure to be a tea that appeals to any preference and provides health benefits! BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Dr. Lance Newman has been a Professor of Literature and Writing Studies (currently the Associate Professor) at CSUSM since September of 2002, teaching courses from Advanced Creative Writing to Transatlantic Romanticism. Before coming to CSUSM, Newman spent time teaching at State Uni­versity ofWest Georgia, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Brown University in Rhode Island -which, coincidentally, is where he earned his Master's as well as Doctorate degrees. (Unfortunately however, CSUSM Hookah Lounge -Pool Tables Games Great Food tiubblY 13ubblY Ca is going to miss Dr. Newman, as he moves on to the next chapter of his career, r ... )"I am moving to Utah, where I plan to do lots of hiking... sailing... mountain biking... and rafting... I'll be teaching at Westminster Col­lege in Salt Lake City," said Newman. Lance Newman is'a teacher who genuinely cares about his students-one of his favor­ite classes to teach students is creative writ­ing. "I love creative writing seminars where we teach each other how to make art out of words," said Newman. A Senior Business major/Lit~rature and Writing minor, Jona­than E. Thompson, took LTWR 105: Texts that Changed the World with Newman, and said, "Professor Newman was so awesome. I remember he assigned us 'Native Son.' That was such a good book and such a great class. It is unfortunate for CSUSM to lose such a great person." In addition to current students, Newman has also made lasting impressions on students who have since graduated and moved on to life after school. Brandon Gray, CSUSM alum whom graduated last semes­ter with his B.A. in Literature and Writing, said "[Newman] was the kind of professor that you wanted to work hard for because if you got a high grade on an assignment you know you deserved it." Since coming to CSUSM, Newman says about the campus, "the student population has almost doubled in six years. What used to be a sleepy little college now looks a lot more like a big university ..." Being part of this university's community has really meant a lot to Newman, "I really loved · being part of... building something new." "People here are very passionate about what they do and they really want this place to live up to their ideals," said Newman. When asked what, if any, advice he would like to give the students of CSUSM, Newman said, "the school belongs to the students. Only you can make sure we deliver what you want. And only you have the power to defend our school against budget cutters and corporatizers,'' In fact, Newman's influence and time at CSUSM has inspired many students to set their goals towards teaching. Sophomore Literature and Writing major, Jennifer Rylander says that Newn:ian has taught her "a lot about what he calls close reading in context which really helps me to under­stand not only what the author was trying to do with a piece of writing but also how to interpret literature. I know for a fact that his teachings will help me throughout my years as a student and eventually as a teacher." On top ofbeing a successful and educated professor, Newman is quite an accomplished author. In addition to publishing many essays and poems, he also published a book ofcriti­cism, "Our Common Dwelling." Currently, Newman is working on a book: "Capitalism is Killing Our Planet." "You can read some chunks at http://redgreenplanet.blogspot. com," said Newman. CSUSM is going to miss the presence of such a valuable individual. Newman has cre­ated a legacy that he leaves behind and will last for many years to come, long after he's ·been gone.

The irony ofthis is that The Onion is not news. Though The Onion claims to be news, in actuality, it is purely fictional-even thought it presents itself as if it is. Rather than present the news, The Onion makes up news­1 ike stories in sarcastic and ironfo ways-often resulting in humor. Although it is fic­tional, The Onion treats itself as a real news site and divides stories into local and interna­tional news sections, sports, entertainment, science, busi­ness, and opinion subdivisions. Each contains stories, which are interesting and can cause a reader to laugh aloud. An example ·includes a headline, which read, "Drug Win (is this supposed to be drugs win or drug wins)? Drug War." The stories covered often consider actual events while putting a humorous twist on them.

The writers then published it nationwide and during the Internet boom, they created theonion.com. Other incarnations of The Onion include the daily pod­cast titled, "The Onion Radio News," and a video podcast, which calls itself the "Onion News Network." The ONN parodies the four main types of TV news coverage: the national news, the morning wake up shows, debate style news, and C-Span style cov­erage. Additionally, books are available for purchase on the site that contain past sto­ries. In 2007, The Onion pub­lished "Our Dumb World," an atlas that mocks the ste­reotypes and images of every nation.

All artists possess unique creativity and, more impor­tantly, vision (both in the literal and figurative sense). Esref Armagan, however, would appear to be at a slight disadvantage: he is an artist born with no eyes. "No one can call me blind," Armagan declares from his home in Ankara, Turkey.

The audience first meets Arma­gan while he is working on his latest masterpiece.He explains that he must plan a painting in his mind before putting anything on his imprint-sensitive canvas. Arma­gan uses a Braille stylus to trace simple lines and shapes, and then paints with his fingers rather than brushes. Working mostly in oils, he is able to use color, shadow, and composition even though he has never before experienced light. Of all of Armagan's astonishing abili­ties, his most intriguing skill is that he is able to use perspective and scale in his paintings. Dr. John Kennedy, Perception and Cognition Psychologist at the University of Toronto, conducts a series of experiments with Arma­gan to gain more knowledge on how exactly this artist is able to reproduce images more accu­rately than some sighted people can. Harvard Neurologists come to find that while Armagan pro­cesses information dealing with perspective, parts of his brain that should show no activity due to his blindness are in fact as active as they would be if he were actually looking at the object he is draw­ing.

Each year, Hollywood fills us with the promise it can deliver something bigger and bader for our viewing pleasure. Let's be honest, however -2007 was filled with niore of the latter. Endless • sequels bombarded us last summer: Spider-man 3, Shrek the 3rd, Harry Potter, and The Bourne Ultimatum to name a few (and they were the good ones). While sequels have become a mainstay for summer blockbust­ers, 2008 is looking to comic book heroes, robots, and one familiar, whip-cracking archeologist to provide the bulk of the this year's anticipated filmS". It's likely at least one original title will make its way to Sequelville from this year's summer offerings. Compared to last year, 2008 looks to be bigger, better, and more exciting, which Hollywood hopes translates to green pastures and millions of dollars. Rather than generating a biased "top ten" or a month-to-month release, the fol­lowing lists hope to satisfy kids, geeks, and other avid movie watch­ers. Grand triumvirate Iron Man (May 2): Okay, how can anyone not get excited over Robert Downey Jr. playing an alcoholic, charming, multi-billion­aire arms dealer? Comic fans will eat up Downey as he dons the red and gold suit. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom tbhe Crystal Skull (May 22): This ii-\irguably the most anticipated movie this summer.

Fun premise, fun cast -enough We hope that he brings intensity said. Movie previews and the ruination of the Movie-going experience: A Treatise BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer I don't know about you, but one of my favorite parts of going to the movies is watching the previews. The lights dim, a hush comes over the crowd -they begin. "The follow­ing preview has been approved for all audiences by the Motion Picture Association of America" displays in white lettering over a cartoonishly green background. 'From a black screen comes the incredible preview. One after the other, and each one is better than the first. Then after seeing that preview so many times and expecting so much -you see the movie, and what hap­pens? You get let down. Half the scenes_ in the preview, well, aren't even in the movie at all! Then the other half, the ones that seem like the funniest -they are the only actual funny parts of the whole movie! There is nothing more annoying than seeing a film and realizing the pre­view was the only good part. I remember a few years back with ''Down Periscope" there was a scene in the previews of a woman water skiing behind a submarine -but that wasn't even in the movie. I thought it was going to be funny to see sorrie chick skiing behind a submarine, but when I saw it, I was utterly dis­appointed. Same goes for a more recent film, "Stop Loss". There was a scene in the preview of the main female character laying on the beach, and to be a dude for a minute, I was looking forward to seeing her on the beach-but once again, it wasn't even in the movie! But then there are those times when you see a comedy, and the pre­view makes it look so damn hilarious that you just have to see it, but when you see it. . . That is one of my big­gest peeves -going to see a comedy and realizing that it could have been better just watching the preview -it's the most disappointing thing. When I saw the Will Farrell movie "Tal­ladega Nights ..." I felt so let down when I found that the only funny parts were all bunched together in the preview. I think it is about time someone writes a letter to the Motion Pic­ture Association of America. They need to know they are letting down so many viewers by the way they set up their previews. I mean, how upset are we going to be if Indiana Jones doesn't actually swing on his whip only to miss his landing and fall packwards through the windshield of a van? Come May, if that scene is not in the new Indiana Jones flick -I may just be the person to write that letter to the MPAA. I know that I've got some words for them -you should too. The warring vocals of "Cougar Idol" BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer CSUSM hosted its own American Idol spin off, "Cougar Idol," which was held Wednesday, April 16, at the Clark Field House. The competition gave brave contestants .a chance to sing a song oftheir choice in front of a large crowd and then be reviewed by the three judges on stage. The contestants were Christopher Kinley, Michelle Vogel, Jazmine Brown, Maya Meal ins, Jess Judson, Shaun Lalime, Christina Wright, Katie Dremin, Alexander Hoang, and Erika Ervin. Songs were sung from some ofthe contestant's favor­ite artists. A wide variety of songs were covered from famous artists such as Shania Twain, Incubus, and Rhianna. Even our own "Britney Spears" was nice enough to show up for her comical performance, which was very entertaining to the crowd. Songs were either sung with a back­track of the original version, aca­pella, or with the contestant playing his or her own instrument. The three judges gave their own feedback to every contestant after their performance, but our judges were a lot nicer than the ones on the actual American Idol. At the end of the event, everyone in the crowd was asked to circle the name of the contestant that they thought had given the best perfor­mance. Michelle Vogel won with her great performance of Carrie Under­wood's "Before · He Cheats," and Erika Ervin came in a close second with her excellent performance of a song by the Dreamgirls. First place prize was a $250 gift cer­tificate to Ticketmaster. The second place prize was two tickets to Disney­land, and third place got a gift certifi­cate for dinner and a movie. Overall, the event gave students a chance to really show off their musical talent and it is hoped that the same competi­tion will be put on next year and will be bigger and better than ever. THE PRIDE 12 Tuesday, April 22, 2008 SPORTS CSUSM Softball splits -with #1 CBU BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball ran into a few roadblocks last week, dropping five of six games against some tough competition. The highlight of the week however, occurred on Satur­day as the Cougars knocked off the NAIA #1 ranked Cal Baptist Lanc­ers in an extra-innings thriller. The Cougars started the week off with a pair oflosses against #2 Point Loma on Tuesday. In game one, the Cougars lost by a score of 8-0. IQ game two, the Cougars buckled down on defense, but couldn't manage to produce any runs-losing, 2-0. The Cougars came into Sat­urday looking to upset the 46-4 CBU Lancers, and did just that. Game one was a stalemate through the bottom of the ninth inning, where Karen Morizi scored the winning, and only run on a Shanti Poston walk-off RBI single. The win was a product of stellar Cougar defense anchored by pticher, Melissa Lerno's com­plete game two-hitter. Cal Baptist sought revenge in game two of the doubleheader, defeating the Cougars by a score of 10-0. The Cougars attempted to carry the momentum from the upset into Sunday's contest at UCSD, but were unsuccessful. Another defensive battle came forth in game.one, as the Cougars' defense held the game scoreless until the bottom of the sixth. The Cougars were unable to produce a run in the top of the seventh, losing the game 1-0. The Cougars were could not convert game two, losing 8-5. Despite the tough week, the Cougars remain in #4 spot region­ally according to the 4/21 NAIA Regional Top-10. The Cougars have four games remaining in the regular season, today at Hope International, and Friday at La Sierra.

The race was set to wrap around the campus in a five-kilo­meter course on Saturday, May 3 at5:00p.m. "We were very disappointed we had to cancel the event, how­ever, due to very low registration numbers leading into the last few weeks before the event date, and due to a very difficult budget time, we had to cancel the event," said Associate Director of Athletics Jennifer Milo. "Our department could not afford to lose money on this event, and because of the very low registration numbers we were headed down that road." Proceeds from the race would have gone towards scholarships for CSUSM athletes. "We are looking to try and launch this event again next Spring with a different date and a different starting time. The event will be held in typical Sk ''fash­ion" in the morning. We were going to try to hold this year's event in the late afternoon. This may be part of the reason for the low registration numbers, so we will go with the morning run for next year," added Milo. THE CENTRE FOR ADVANCED LASER AESTHETICS BE READY FOR BIKINI SEASON!

Although the university does eventu­ally plan on adding new athletic facilities that would bring on new programs such as men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball, the first priority is to cater to the current programs that are in need of a facility on campus. Associ­ate Director of Athletics for Develop­ment, Jennifer Milo stated that, "Base­ball and softball fields are top prio"rity, that's what we are hitting real hard on right now." Both the baseball and soft­ball teams are currently forced to play home games off campus at local high schools due to the lack of the facilities on campus. As previously mentioned, the video does highlight plans of adding new ath­letic facilities such as an arena and an aquatic center; which would provide two much needed facilities for the campus and. community. A new arena would make room for men's and women's bas­ketball as well as women's volleyball. The addition of these programs would allow for expansion well beyond the uni­versity. "Our main ultimate goal is to get into the NCAA as a division II member" says Jennifer Milo. By adding these two teams, the CSUSM athletic dept. would be able to make the move into the NCAA. There is currently no projected time­line for the project since the construc­tion of tbe facilities depends on fund­ing. Since no state funds can be used for athletic facilities, funding is primarily based on donations made by businesses and individuals in the community. On a positive note, the progress of the project will not be affected by the recent CSU budget cuts since state funding will not be used whatsoever. For a small campus like CSUSM, any­thing that adds to student life is benefi­cial for the campus. When asked what new facilities and new sports programs would do for the CSUSM community, Milo responded, "building up that front yard is huge for student life, students would be able to utilize the fields for rec. reality. The video· will ser.ve as a mar­sports as well." She went on to say that, keting package to show potential donors "This would add a huge element to our what is planned for the university. For school pride, and we would have people naming opportunities and donations actually bleeding our school colors." please contact Jennifer Milo, the Asso­ So with the video finished, the CSUSM ciate Director of Athletics for Devel­Athletic Dept. now has the first piece of opment at 760-750-7108 or at jmilo@ what they need to make their dream a csusm.edu. The Fields of Vision video released by the Athletics Department displays what could be the future of CSUSM's unused land.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Import Brands Alliance in St. Louis, Missouri, imports Hoegaarden, pro­nounced, "Who gar den," from Bel­gium. The multi award-winning beer's name origi­ nates from the vil­ lage of Hoegaarden, in Belgium's Brabant Province, where the brewing of white beer traces back to 1445, according to the label. The cardboard carrier secures six 12-fluid ounce dark brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo. Cream, silver, Off her new album "Remnants of Marley," "Sandpaper Song" is earthy, folky, and full of slap­tapping drums and bluesy guitar. With pristine plucking and building vocals, this track embodies May's playful style and stoic lyrics. blue, and white hues dominated the coloring of the packaging. The name ofthe beer takes center stage. The bottles contain the same imaging. The brewery u t i ­lizes a purposefully designed bottle that releases certain flavors when poured into a glass. A silver cap with the brewery's logo in blue and gold stencil seals a pres­surized bottle with an alcohol by volume of4.9%. The beer pours chunky forming an almost inch thick head. The head grad­ually dissipates and leaves a more than average lancet thus trapping the rising carbonated bubbles. Most light colored beers are see-through. However, the light colored Hoegaardeh embodies a murky pond hindering vision through one side of the glass to the other. The beer emits a hybrid aroma simi­lar to a Heineken and alocal micro brew. Surprisingly, the beer enters the mouth calm and leaves calm. Again, most beers have a onetime powerful surge of flavor where as Hoegaarden releases a continual small tingling wave that gently washes over all corners of the mouth. The ale leaves a pleasant coating of flavoring encouraging the mouth to consume more. Hoegaarden offers a thrill­ing adventure. The beer defies almost every stereotype asso­ciated with a white styled beer.

Radio Racer "It's Her'' Over the past few years, Radio Racer has grown and evolved as a popular North County band. They had the chops back when I saw them in 2005, and now out of high school and into the real world, the guys still have it going on. "It's Her" is a fun, .. upbeat, pop ballad that could very easily be heard on the next episode of "The Hills" or "Gossip Girl." One Hot Minute "My Kinda Town" Pete Wentz would be proud. One Hot Minute is one hot band and their music is catchy to say the least.

XIX NO. 12 Civil rights activist remembered at candlelight vigil CSUSM artists reflect on statue's significance BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer Last Tuesday, CSUSM invited artists T. J. Dixon and James Nelson to speak to the university community about the historical perspectives about the campus statue honoring civil rights activist César Sleepless in San Diego Chavez. Dixon and Nelson were the two artists responsible for creating the statue and spoke about the importance and legacy to which the school connects itself. "My mother was a farm worker in Texas during the 60s, and [the United Farm Workers] was all that she would talk about," shared Dixon as she spoke about personal meaning of the work. "It was really the most tragic existence for farm workers who didn't have a voice and was never in one. place long enough to ask for change and equality." The week ended by honoring the leader with a candlelight vigil at the steps of Chavez Plaza. Traditional, See Sleepless, Page 4 Photo by Elbert Esguerra / The Pride Campus community unites to raise awareness On Tues. April 8, men and women gathered in Forum Plaza to participate in a night of empowerment and education against the sexual violence of women. Take Back t he Night is an observed protest around the nation that involves walking in the dark to display that women should and have t he right to feel safe while walking in the dark. Every two minutes, somewhere in A merica, someone i s sexually assaulted. This is the second year the Women's Center has held a Take Back the Night event on campus. On display was the 'Walk In Her Shoes' exhibit, f eaturing a variety of women's shoes with f acts and personal stories about sexual violence u nderneath them. The National College Women Sexual Victimization Study estimated between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5 college women experience completed or attempted rape during their college years. B efore the event began, many students walked through the exhibit and scaled t he booths in attendance. Students and s taff candidly shared their experiences and observations regarding sexual violence. Morgan Hoodenpyle, Women's Center Operations Coordinator, opened the event, welcoming students and s taff in attended and served as Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride emcee throughout t he night.

T hough it was a decent f ilm about racism in A merican, the other n ominated f ilms dealt w ith r iveting topics in a more i ntense and potent way. "Good Night and Good L uck" was the t rue story about government c ensorship and " Munich" was a f ilm about the r epercussions of the a ssassination of Israeli a thletes at the 1972 Olympic Game by P alestinian t errorists, and both have implications that are still are relevant. In a ddition, " Capote" is the story about f amous writer, Truman Capote, and the s truggles he f aced as an author and a homosexual. However, the most dramatically moving f ilm of that year was "Brokeback M ountain." Not only did the Academy rob it of Best P icture, today it still f aces the stigma as " that gay cowboy movie." In my experience, I have found that most fcf t hese comments come f rom people who have not even seen the f ilm. It is u nfair to c riticize such an important f ilm without personal experience. U nfortunately, people are unable to look beyond the element of homosexuality and miss the art and inspiring moments of t his f ilm. Director Ang Lee made "Brokeback Mountain" about more than l eftwing p ropaganda. It has the elements that put it in the r unning for being one of the best f ilms of the current decade. The late Heath Ledger gave the best performance of his career and deserved the nomination for Best Actor. His tragic death makes t his p erformance that much more important. In all other areas, t his movie excelled, such as the cinematography, other a ctors, and the breathtaking score. It is a monumental f ilm meant to dispel ignorance, and yet still i ncreases it in some people. However, t here have been previous f ilms about homosexuality, t his one is i mportant because not only is it done well — it boldly challenges the image of the A merican cowboy. Tuesday, April 15,2008 C SU A lliance: B udget c ut i mpacts For up-to-date information, visit CSUSM's Budget Central online IMPACT T O CSUSM • A 10 percent budget reduction would be a $2.5 million cut to CSUSM's current budget, with an additional $3.1 million cut based on no growth, creating a total reduction of $5.6 million. • The cuts would mean larger class sizes, reduced student support, and fewer course sections resulting in students taking longer t o graduate. It would mean greater workload for CSU faculty and staff and no funding for compensation agreements resulting in a decline in employee morale and performance. • CSUSM grew over 25 percent in the last three years. Based on 0 percent growth, approximately 750 qualified students would not be able t o enroll if CSUSM is not able to accommodate additional new student enrollment in 2008-09. First-time freshmen and transfer students who apply late to fall 2008 will not be considered unless enrollment space becomes available. • These cuts will erase significant gains the university has made t o increase access for minority and underserved communities. CSUSM's student population now reflects 22.4 percent Hispanic and 27.6 percent other minorities. IMPACT T O CSU • This budget cut is in addition to $522 million in funding cuts to the CSU between 2002 and 2005. • The CSU will be unable to provide access to 10,000 qualified students, mostly California residents, which will have a direct impact on the state's economy and on the key industries that our graduates enter, such as nursing, teaching, agriculture, business, public administration and technology. Future demand for college graduates outweighs the supply by 6 percent representing a million graduates • The CSU graduates 90,000 students each year, including 87 percent of education graduates, 64 percent o f nurses, 65 percent of business professionals, 82 percent of those involved in public administration, and more than half of the state's graduates in agriculture-related fields. • The proposed budget cuts to CSU would remove more than $1 billion from the state's economy. • The negative impact o n student access would fall disproportionately on students from underrepresented communities. For 2008, freshman applications t o CSU for Latinos are up by 21 percent and African Americans by 11 percent over previous years. IMPACT T O THE REGION • Cuts to the CSU will be felt by the regional economy as CSUSM generates a total impact of $307 million, sustains 5000 jobs, and generates more than $16 million per year in tax revenue. • With 42.3 percent of all new students coming from North San Diego, and 18.6 percent from South San Diego the impact t o college-bound students and their parents in the region will be devastating. • The majority of our graduates enter into business, education, or other professional services fields. North County as a growing region is dependent on our graduates as teachers, nurses, business leaders, and service professionals. • CSUSM's alumni continue t o live in California, with more than half working in San Diego County. T wo out of five of our alumni work in education; more than two-thirds work in their chosen fields.

Dixon and Nelson were among several guests, watching while activists and community members spoke about the lives of farm workers during the 1960s and 1970s. Later in the evening, students and other community members laid carnations and litpandles. They shared some experiences as immigrant workers while they sat at the steps of Chávez Plaza. "With César Chávez, a man like that truly deserves this honor," said ,Nelson. "When we received this commission, we were very fortunate to have done this." Before his death in 1993, Chávez spent more than two decades fighting on the behalf of immigrant farm workers across California and Texas: He was responsible for the creation of the United Farm Workers Union which organized strikes and boycotts to create higher wages for farm workers and immigrant rights.

Team members take turns in a sponsored walk-a-thon, in addition to other activities, which include entertainment, booths, and inspirational speakers aiming to raise money and awareness about cancer and the ACS. Last year, Relay for Life raised $33.3 million in California alone, with over 12,388 participating teams with 34,572 cancer survivors participating in the sponsored events. More than 3.5 million people participate in Relay for Life nationwide each year, and this past weekend, hundreds participated at San Marcos High School. Cal State San Marcos student and staff writer Lance Cartelli said, "The event was amazing. Seeing everyone affected by cancer coming together whether it be people that have family members orfriendsthat diedfromcancer or the survivors of cancer, everyone coming together for a single cause and telling why they are 'relaying' was amazing and one of the most beneficial experiences I have ever seen."

The San Diego rescue mission has indicated on their website that the event will not be cancelled on account of inclement weather, saying, " the homeless sleep outside even in unfavorable weather." "This year, it is the goal of Alpha Kappa Psi to shed light on these issues to students who do not typically see these problems in North County," CSUSM sophomore and member of Alpha Kappa Psi, Melissa Mattingly said. "Our goal is to raise $2500 to donate to the San Diego Rescue Mission." Mattingly, who "was recently crowned Miss Escondido, said, "I found out about the San Diego Rescue Mission through the Miss Escondido pageant, and I have been working with them ever since I won." Like a walkathon, participants will conduct fundraising for "Sleepless in San Diego" through the acquisition of sponsors, usually friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. According to Alpha Kappa Psi, ^'Donations to the San Diego Rescue Mission go to support two core recovery programs encompassing in-depth services for lasting change, as well as an emergency shelter, providing men, women and families the opportunity for both immediate relief and longterm transformation." As of April 10, Alpha Kappa Psi has raised $3200, far exceeding its initial f undraising goal. While there is a minimum donation of $50 required to get into the event for most participants, students participating with Alpha Kappa Psi are asked to donate j ust $10. Alpha Kappa Psi is still looking to get as many people involved in the event as possible and hopes to garner media attention at the event.

Ranging from the ballads of international singer/songwriter Tiamo De Vettori, to spoken word performances by Kimberly Dark and Miz Liberty, to colorful and energetic dance numbers by drag queens Tatiana, Marilyn McWilliams, and Moment St. John, the evening was lively, light-hearted and jubilant. Highlighting the vision for the LGBTQ Pride Center as a place that "creates, sustains, and strengthens an open, inclusive, safe, and affirming environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, and ally communities," all present for the celebration affirmed and empowered CSUSM's next step in bettering the campus community. "The Pride center is a great addition to ASI's programs and services sponsored by education, advocacy, support, resource information, and a safe place for all students," said ASI CEO and President Caitlin Gelrud. "It was through the voice and advocacy of CSUSM students that this center was established. In the spring of 2007, the ASI Board of Directors approved the strategic planning and establishment of the LGTBQ Center." Manning introduced the keynote speaker, Windmeyer, as "the leading author on gay campus issues, a national leader in gay and lesbian civil rights, and a champion for LGBT issues on college campuses. He is the executive director of 'Stop the Hate' and the executive director for 'Campus Pride,' the only national organization for student leaders and campus organizations working to create a safer campus environment for LGBT students" and spoke about his several books addressing LGBT students and involvement in sororities and fraternities. "One of the things I think the LGBTQ Center is really about is the community," said Windmeyer, "and I'm not telling you anything new when it comes to how important community is on a college campus...This shouldn't just be about LGBTQ people, this should be about the entire campus community. And the LGBTQ Pride Center should be a place where we can educate across intersections of identity." Toward the end of the evening Dr. Bridget Blanshan, Dean of , Students at CSUSM, recognized alumni and graduating students who have and had worked hard in the LGBTA community on campus by honoring them, their courage, and commitment to the campus community with a special certificate and commencement cord. The LGBTQ Pride Center is now open and located at Commons 201.

Can't find affordable health insurance? There are options available for students on and off of campus BY NAME REDACTED Pride Staff Writer A notable concern among college students is quality health care insurance. While it can be difficult to find a policy that adequately covers student needs, if one "browses around" there are many private insurance policy options available to suit an individual's particular requirements. In addition, many insurance packages that are available are specifically designed for student situations. As a short brief: CSUSM's requires all students to have health insurance (including international students). Consequently, the university does have a health insurance policy available. The health insurance policy offered by CSUSM is advocated for those who do not have private medical or liability insurance. The policy also o ffers hospitalization benefits and other specific medical services. Students also have the option of purchasing the insurance policy on a semester or yearly basis. To enroll in the student health insurance plan, visit the Associated Students Office in Commons 205 and/or Student Health Services. There is also extended student health insurance offered by CSU Health Link that covers medical needs that exceed the resources of Student Health and Counseling Services such as specialist and emergency rooms referrals. Students can run into some tricky problems when their parents' insurance policy no longer covers them or when students have jobs that do not offer insurance benefits, so it is best to research and find a specific or comprehensive policy that can serve particular concerns. To find the best policy, just research and find a plan that works—some plans have year-round coverage, some are based on full-time/part-time student status, and some are more flexible with doctor and hospital choices. To get a general idea about college health insurance plans and some get common questions answered, visit insurance carrier's websites, or check the following: http://www.collegeinsuranceonline.com/ faqs.htm.

In addition to the now textbook-only store located downstairs from the new store on the f ifth floor of Craven hall, the University Store is open and eager to serve students in many new ways. "As a non-profit corporation operating for the benefit of our campus community, we feel that t his is a step in the right direction.

"This is such a perfect location. We're really looking forward to getting more involved on the campus." No matter what time of year, students will always be able to find the classic gray, white, and navy CSUSM and Cougar logo wear, but students can also expect to see seasonal fashion-forward merchandise that reflects current fashion trends and allows students to show off their CSUSM pride in the store. "We carry what we call 'Ra-Ra or school-spirited things, which is our thing with the new cougar logo, but we mix in a little bit of fashion with it," said Brown. The new store is easily accessible, f ully stocked, and planned with college students in mind. Complete with an Apple computer and product section, soon students will be able to test the Apple products for themselves before purchasing them, and all students are eligible for the college student discount available through Apple on products like iPods, Mac laptops, and other Apple program software that the University Store carries. With the end of the semester approaching, Brown emphasized the big push the University Store is doing for textbook buybacks. " That's all based on teachers' requisitions," said Brown, "so if the teachers get their orders in, that's how we gage our buyback.

As the result of nearly four decades of environmental awareness, the surface of April 22nd is synonymous with tree-hugging, hemp clothes, and liberal protests. A far cry from p o l i t y in the 60s and 70s, the modern Earth Day presents revolutionary thinking and opportunities for every American to change the world for the better. April 22,1970 was the first official Earth Day in America. Following his election into the U.S. Senate in 1962, former Wisconsin State Senator and Governor Gaylord Nelson took up environmental preservation activism under the presidency of John. F. Kennedy. "For several years," Nelson said, "it had been troubling me that the state of our environment was simply a non-issue in the politics of the country." Thus, Nelson and Kennedy set out on an environmental conservation tour through the states in the fall of 1963 to raise awareness on the issues. Unfortunately, the tour was largely a failure. Nelson felt that even though the tour barely received any political attention, "it was the germ of the idea that ultimately flowered into Earth Day." As Nelson continued his presence in the U.S. legislature, he traveled to as many states as he could. Troubling evidence of environmental degradation was apparent all over the country, yet concern over the facts was wholly absent from the political agenda. Through Nelson's talks and activism, he created a somewhat backwards course of action: he BY LEVI MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer vT Forgetting an mp3 player or iPod at home should no longer be a burden. There is an easy to use website which allows the user to upload a playlist of 12 songs (each song not being larger than lOmb) and keeps everyone's favorite playlist a click away. On muxtape.com it takes no more than 15 seconds to create a free account. This website not only allows the user to listen to music from any computer with internet access, it also creates a community of playlists which allow all its members to listen to each o tters top songs. Muxtape works by browsing the user's saved media files and uploading it to the site in which the person agrees to share their playlist with everyone. Listening to music is simple as well, after creating a playlist or browsing through other members' playlist the user clicks on the title of the song and the song begins to stream, want to pause the song just click on the title again and it pauses. Another great feature which Muxtape provides is allowing the user to add its favorite playlist from other members by pressing add playlist or remove playlist : if the user decides it no longer pleases them. As an avid music listener Muxtape allows me to take my favorite songs with me to wherever I go, took the issues to the people before appealing to the government. Finally, in 1970, Nelson took part in an environmental "teach-in", which acted as a response to the rising perception of ecological conditions across the nation. Earth Day itself was a spontaneous reaction to the millions of Americans Nelson reached out to looking to raise environmental interests to the forefront of politics. "That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day," Nelson remembers, "it organized itself." With "going green" as the newest trend, there are certainly plenty of opportunities to get involved this Earth Day. The government has stepped up environmental awareness, presenting a whole host of ways to promote cleaner air with a public education group called "It All Adds Up." The group's focus is on ways that communities can reduce air pollutants through more conscientious commuting. "It All Adds Up" offers tips for dropping individual pollutant production from autos. By simply keeping a car's tires properly inflated, fuel use can decrease by up to 18 gallons a year. Getting regular tune-ups is also essential; a well-maintained car will produce 20% less ozone emissions than one that is not. Moreover, "reduce, reuse, recycle" may as well be Earth Day's slogan. Reduce use of disposable products by buying permanent items, and refrain from buying products that have large amounts of packaging. Reuse plastic grocery bags as trash bags, use hand towels in the kitchen rather than rolls ofpaper towels, and donate unwanted items to charities rather than throwing them out. whether it is to work or a quick study session at the library— Muxtape is a great way to create a backup music plan, Check out my Muxtape mix at muxtape.com under username: CSUSM2008. R ecycling is easy as our campus sets a great »example of how painless the act really is. Plus, California pays consumers 5 cents per can or bottle returned to a recycling . facility (in case the environment isn't incentive enough). Earth Day has fundamentally become more of a state of mind than an observed event. With technological strides promoting the use of compact fluorescent light bulbs, hybrid cars, and energy-efficient appliances, there are virtually no products that encourage harm to the environment. Even the easiest of actions make an impact: using less hot water, taking public transportation, or planting a tree. To get involved in the San Diego area, Balboa Park hosts its 19th annual EarthFair on Sunday April 20th which provides a multitude of environmental preservation opportunities.

The founders of the site intended this to steer people to new artists and help them make money through sales. The Hype Machine is userfriendly for all users, but according to the site, the most popular demographic is "a more male, fairly wealthy, youthful, more educated crowd." Another bonus is the amount of reviews made possible by the live indexing of songs and artists. The Hype Machine makes searching for and discovering new tunes much easier, as compared with searching on individual blogs. In addition, unlike published music reviews, these are the honest and raw opinions of "musicphiles." Though the site favors the alternative and indie types of music, it contains information to interest fans of ai types of music. People who are open to new music should try The Hype Machine because it is a resource of music blogs unlike any other site. �The Evolution of Dance S chool's not o ut f or t he S ummer BY JONATHAN E.

Laipply repeatedly watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg BY NAME REDACTED Pride Staff Writer Summer school is a great option for students whether their need is acceleration or remediation. While summer school is a good opportunity to catch up on college credits there are various concerns to be aware of in choosing to enroll in summer courses. It is important to remember that summer programs are shorter and more condense in time than regular semester classes. Summer programs include a whole semester's worth of work, so be aware to not take too many classes and do not expect it to be easier than regular semester classes. At CSUSM there are several deadlines, so be sure to keep track of them to successfully register and begin classes. To find out what tuition and fees may be (depending on how many credits are taken) check the summer school information webpage on M yCSUSM:http://sweb.csusm.edu/ Schedule/200830/fees.asp. The priority enrollment period is from April 7 to April 21, 2008. Any holds on record need to be cleared before proceeding. From April 22 to June 1 (Summer 2008 schedule adjustment period), a student may add or drop classes in the newly instated My CSUSM system. The payment deadline for classes registered up to May 14 is May 15, 2008. For classes that are registered on or a fter May 15, fees are due by the next business day at noon. The first day of classes starts June 2 and the add/drop period is from June 2 to June 9, 2008. June 9 is the last day to drop a class (that meets for the summer first session) with no aca- demic record. June 9 is also the last day to add a summer 2008 class that meets for the first part of the term including f ull session, first session and second session. On June 10 for late registration be prepared to pay late registration and adding fees. July 6 is the last day of classes for those that meet for the first term. The second session of summer starts beginning on July 7. July 10 is the last day to drop classes without academic record. August 9 is the last day of classes for the second term. For more details and to register for summer school, check CSUSM's summer school class offerings through MyCSUSM. In addition, CSUSM Extended Studies also provides many summer programs so check their class offerings. If CSUSM does not offer a particular class for a student, a good alternative choice is to check out local community colleges such as Palomar or Mira Costa, which o ffer plenty of classes to suit one's academic needs. Apply for admission (if one is a new student) as soon as possible in order to register for classes sooner before they fill up to limits. Another benefit for taking classes at community colleges is that the costs can sometimes be less expensive than at universities. Overall, surtimer school can be a helpful choice for students, but to make it a beneficial experience there is a duty as a responsible student. As a student, make sure to factor in devoting enough time to classes and other comprehensive details including class offerings, work status, and financial situation and plan one's schedule accordingly.

According to the city of San Diego a mini-dorm is any house or apartment having three or more living areas including rooms and lofts. These minidorms have been popping up all around San Diego for decades. The amount of living area is j ust too small for the masr sive amount of college students that reside throughout the entire city. With colleges such as SDSU, CSUSM, UCSD, Mira Costa, Palomar, and the San Diego City College campuses that are all stationed in San Diego there are thousands and thousands of students that need places to live. As a sophomore at CSUSM Jack Overman says, "Living in a mini-dorm is a lot more convenient. It makes rent a lot cheaper when you live with a bunch of people rather than living with another person somewhere else. And with such a high cost of living here in San Diego, the more money s^ved the better." The problem with these kinds of living situations is the fact that the houses that students are moving into were originally created for j ust one family. Students are known to pack 10-15 kids into a house that was made for a family of 4 or 5. Neighbors complain because of the excess noise and trash, not to men- tion the amount of cars due to limited parking. Both sides of the spectrum have their reasonable points, but so far nothing has been done to change it. With the ever-increasing amount of college students pouring into every county of San Diego the amount of mini-dorms is only going to increase each year. As a student down at SDSU, Allison Ives believes that "mini-dorms j ust make everything a lot easier for everyone. Living in a house with 7 girls makes rent a lot lower and I love having so many people over all the time, although I can tell it does annoy the neighbors a lot." With students needing places to live and families needing more peace and quiet throughout their neighborhoods is there any way to create a compromise? The city of San Diego is currently holding meetings and thinking about placing ordinances around the city in order to limit the amount of mini-dorms that are allowed to stay standing. Laws are also being thought of to banish mini-dorms altogether. If this is truly the case then a lot of homeless college students will be looking for places to live within the next few years. The city needs to figure out a good compromise in order to allow students to get a great education while still living in the beautiful city of San Diego. �Cougars crack NAIA national rankings CSUSM Baseball blows out Occidental and Domínguez Hills BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer In their first game of the week, the Cougars dominated Occidental College (10-16).

CSUSM Softball splits doubleheader with Concordia after snagging the national # 21 ranking BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball broke info the national spotlight last week, cracking the NAIA Top-25 with a #21 ranking in the 4/9 poll. The feat is the first of its kind in the two-year history of the program. The Cougars attempted to carry the good vibes into their Saturday doubleheader with Concordia University, however a series of missed opportunities cost them game one. The Cougars bounced back and won game two in dramatic fashion. In game one, the Cougars got on the board early, scoring a run in the first inning on a Shanti Poston RBI single, scoring Elizabeth Bush. The Cougars took the 1-0 lead into the top of the fourth when pitcher, Melissa Lerno ran into trouble, giving up four runs. The Track and Field looks good at UCLA CSUSM Track and Field competed in the Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational on Friday and Saturday at UCLA. The Cougars put up multiple top-10 finishes amongst some of the best athletes in the nation.

WW « Get snuggly and musically satisfied with Gypsies The Gypsy Lounge is the new place to be for musical nomads BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Music is one of the most important influences in my life, as well as many others', I'm sure. The feeling I get when I see that musician take the stage and debut his musical talent for the night - it is unmatched by almost any other feeling. This is why there is no better way to bask in awe of a well deserving musician than in the comfort of a place so personal that you can almost call it home. This is the reason that The Gypsy Lounge (www.thegypsylounge.com) in Lake Forest, CA is beyond any bit of doubt, my favorite place in the world (at least thus far) to enjoy live music. As soon as you walk in the door, you are met with an extremely "living room" type of atmosphere. There are a handful of retro looking couches lining the walls with enough pillows to prop yourself up or just snuggle with, depending on your preference and mood. Aside from the fact that The .Gypsy Lounge has the most comfortable seating and makes the best and strongest drinks, it is host to some of the greatest music in Orange County - a lot of some big names in music had their innocent beginnings at this very club. Many of these bands who began their careers playing little shows to small crowds in this club have gone on to become some of today's more popular radio played musicians. Rocco Deluca and the Burden, one of today's best concert selling artists, is one of the former hosts of a weekly night of local artists coming together to play acoustic sets at The Gypsy Lounge. This title now shared by Chris Paul Overall, AJ DeGrasse, Jay Buchanan, Joseph Denges of Hollowell, Cory Joseph of Sleepless Me and many other incredibly talented musicians. Along with Rocco Deluca is Brett Panic at the Disco sends SOMA fans into a hot panic BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer What do you get when you cross hundreds of fourteenyear-old girls and their misfortunate parents, Honda Civics, and shrieking during sound checks, but no exclamation point necessary? Why, a Panic at the Disco concert, of course. On Saturday, April 12, this year's Honda Civic tour, headlined by the band formerly known as Panic! at the Disco, arrived to a sold out Soma in San Diego. Dennen, yet another example of a local artist who began playing shows at The Gypsy Lounge and ended up with quite a popular following and a wonderful amount of radio credit. Music changes lives - it has the ability to take every single emotion, especially those that don't make sense to you - and it helps them to become clear. If some of these major musicians had their modest beginnings in this club, who knows what could happen if you showed up. Every Tuesday is "not so acoustic Tuesday" and showcases some of the most amazing talent in Orange County and surrounding areas. Take the drive - pay the few bucks to get in - spend a few hours escaping from your world and enter the soothing world of music. Allow it to move you and your life will be changed. Photo by Adam Lowe / The Pride S ushi H uku BY ALEX HAND Pride Staff Writer Living in San Diego, a sushi restaurant isn't too hard to come by. A restaurant like Sushi Huku, however, is an invaluable find for any sushi consumer. Located conveniently close to campus at 727 W. San Marcos Blvd, Sushi Huku is a sushi restaurant that offers phenomenal food fit for a college student's budget. Upon entering the restaurant a customer is warmly welcomed by the f riendly s taff. The t ype of dining experience you are looking for should dictate where you choose to sit. A prominent t hing to note is the vastly d ifferent atmosphere between sitting at a table or up at the bar. The tables o ffer traditional Japanese style seat- ing and create the p erfect romantic atmosphere for a datè. Sit at the bar for a more exciting, entertaining atmosphere that is perfect for a night out with a group of f riends. The f un loving chefs love t o converse and never hesitate to celebrate with their customers. Don't be surprised if you get to know the s taff on a first name basis, as they somehow seem to remember the names of all their customers. The restaurant offers a full sushi menu as well as a variety of other traditional Japanese style dishes. The prices blow many other sushi restaurants out of the water. Traditional Maki rolls are offered at $4.00; where as specialty rolls rarely exceed $8.00. So, when looking for a great sushi restaurant to take that someone special or to have a night out with some friends, look no further than Sushi Huku. Great food, great prices, and a great atmosphere — What more is there to ask for in a sushi restaurant? purchased the brewery from Korbel Champagne Cellars. The large brown glass bottles holds 25.4 fluid ounces. Grey and black hues comprise the majority of the label. A pitchfork looking object takes center stage. Red lettering is used in the name of the ale. Unlike most beers, which are capped with bottle caps, the brewery utilizes a system found on most champagne bottles. A mesh wire secures a cork and thin aluminum cap with the brewery's name in white and red stencil, which all work together to keep the bottle pressurized. The ale has a 7,75% alcohol by volume. The ale retails for $7.39 at BevMo. The ale pours light and crisp yet surprisingly generates a full inch thick head. The head gradually reduces to a quarter inch thick. A slight head then remains for the duration of consumption. The ale radiates a heavenly golden hue while carbonated bubbles blissfully glide to the top of the chilled glass. A scent similar to that of the smells associated with a Sunday barbeque occupy the surrounding air space. The ale enters the mouth and quickly signals for a thrilling ride. The ale then quickly attacks the taste buds. The taste buds and tongue tense up due to the powerful surge. The ale descends beyond leaving a thick coating of yummy in its wake. "The smooth and sweet malty hop flavor of Damnation is what makes it hands down, my favorite Belgian Ale anywhere on the market," said senior Literature and Writing Studies Major Adam Lowe. Damnation should be enjoyed by itself. This peculiar ale deserves full attention to ensure proper satisfaction and experience. Enjoy Cougars! Photo by Alex Hand/ The Pride Photo courtesy ofDecaydence Records Throughout the concert, I couldn't help but ask myself whether or not the Tweens and die-hard Panic fans really enjoyed their new music as much as their older hits (after all, nothing in the new CD allows them to legitimately scream out 'WHORE' to assist the song). But while their dance, electrónica, and pop sound may be a thing of the past and their stage performances alongside burlesque dancers and sideshow circus backdrops are a distant memory, their talent still shines through. Now that they've abandoned the synthesizer for acoustic guitars, anyone who may have disregarded their music from the first album could learn to love them with an open mind and a fresh appreciation for classic rock with a twist. Anyone attending the additional tour dates should expect a good show., .at the end. While last year's Honda Civic Tour headlined by Fall Out Boy opened with up and coming talent—this year's showcases bands that have been opening for years without even a well known hit. The exception goes to Phantom Planet for their 'California' single, which came out in...2004? Panic's musical abilities are still ever apparent. Lead singer Brendon Urie's vocals were on par even though it was his 21st birthday. And, as an added bonus, the crowd got to sing 'Happy Birthday' to him. In their first album, the boys were still so young and desperate for attention. Now Panic at the Disco, in their sophomore album, assures fans they don't have to worry—that they are still the same band. But while the band's four members are still the same, their music is clearly not. BY JONATHAN E.

A s the t hree of them engage each other throughout the film to f ulfill their own individual dreams (happy-go-lucky Carter j ust wants to do w hat's best), a growing fickleness absorbs them that ends in c onfrontations on and o ff the field. They find that not every play in the playbook works out exactly as it is drawn up. j The biggest draw of the film, however, doesn't Ir lie in the star power of Clooney or Zellweger. Rather, it happens on the field at a level j ust above mediocre. Football f ans ought to enjoy t he trickery that evokes backyard-style shenanigans in trick plays like " Rin Tin Tin" and " Statue of Liberty." The music by award w inning composer Randy Newman (who also had a cameo as an unwavering piano man in a bar fight) also adds a nice throwback touch. It is questionable whether "Leatherheads" should be considered a sports film in the same sense as "Field of D reams" or "Remember t he Titans." The film is a contrast f rom Clooney's recent work, who directed "Good Night, and Good L uck" (2005) and received acclaim for "Michael Clayton" (2007). This is more about the self-absorbed characters we come across, and the connection between these characters feels forgettable. The only thing scarier than "The Ruins"? The cost of popcorn BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer What makes a good horror film? Most would agree that the answer includes lots of gore, suspense, unexpected twists, drama, and hot actors. Surprisingly, "The R uins" does ¡Hi not lack in any of t h e s e ^ ¿ r j a departments. ProbJ| ably one of the best suspense thrillers I have seen in a few years, " The R uins" definitely excites and entices the audience with its good looking cast, quality acting, and raw horror. Set in Cancun, Mexico, "The R uins" begins with four American college students on a leisurely vacation. When they meet a German student, Mathias, played by Joe Anderson of "Across the Universe," the foursome decides to j oin the other international students to visit an ancient Mayan temple that is supposed to be exclusive and off the modern maps. Based on the novel t urned screenplay by Scott B. Smith, the meat of the film comes f rom the developing characters as they come to grips with the reality set before them as once at the temple, they become trapped and prisoners to a fate no logic or reason is able to explain. Without giving away too many of the exciting plot twists and key moments in the film, it is safe to say that the temple and the means to which the surrounding inhabitants go to keep it hidden are extreme. For those who have not read " The Ruins," on top of being scary, it is a f un watch because the director and screenplay writer made conscious decisions to let the audience discover what is happening right alongside the characters in the film, unlike many other horror films that are predictable and expected. Not only does this manipulate the audience's formal expectations of the specific characters and their I roles in the film, but it § also changes the narration ^ of the film, as the story is ju shot from the perspective | that the a udis ence j f - 'sJ:*-. e xperiencing the drama right along with the characters. " The R uins" presents a psychological fear and dilemma unlike many other horror flicks, as it capitulates traditional plot motivations, and utilizes an evolved fear that even with prosthetics and CG3 animation, is still hard to w rap one's brain around. One thing is for sure though, " The R uins" is worth the outrageous admission price, and it will not disappoint even the harshest of critics.

Smart People offered the greatest pairing of actors with the greatest chemistry that, I dare say, I've ever seen: Thomas Haden Church and Ellen Page. The incredible sardonic banter between these two is probably the single greatest part of this entire movie. Each of the scenes with these two together is a brilliant and wonderful one. They are one of the greatest comedic pairs since Laurel and Hardy or Abbot and Costello. Ellen Page has really come about as the incredible actress that she is. Her breakthrough performance in Juno was one of the greatest of the year, but in this movie - her performance in this movie is the greatest I've seen her give. Her sardonic, black humor is riveting and completely perfect for her role as the over achieving, sarcastic daughter of a widowed college professor, played | by Quaid. Thomas Haden Church, who plays Dennis Quaid's ^ adopted brother, has come § a long way from playing f an evil villain made out of 5 sand, or stretching farther back, a somewhat simpleminded mechanic on the 90s television show, Wings. Church was the most perfect actor for this role. He was sarcastic and slightly perverted while still holding a bit of dignity and sentimentality to bring home a message of togetherness in the end. Great acting, incredible comedic timing, sarcasm to last a lifetime, and a heartfelt ending all make up this great film. If you are in the mood to see something good and something worth the ridiculous amount you have to pay to see a movie - 1 say that "Smart People" is an excellent choice. Yes, there are a few moments where the movie drags a little, but I'd say that a strong 95% of the movie was enjoyable, laughable, as well as emotionally driven and thought provoking. Bottom line: I loved it. I'd see it again. And I would recommend it to anyone.

The question is what can we do about i t Certainly we can't go about our lives without transportation, nor should we have to. There is always the alternative of public transportation. However, while it is an alternative, public transportation, which, also generally runs on petroleum has also become subject to rate increases due to inflated gas prices. The first solution that pops into many Americans' minds is to boycott buying gas on a pre-determined day. While I won't claim that this has no ill effect on the gas companies, what have we really accomplished? The fact of the matter is that in order for us to avoid gassing up one day of the week we are going to have to pump even more gas either before or after said boycott. So I ask, what is accomplished if you are ultimately pumping the same amount of gas. Not to mention that in the wake of past gas boycotts we commonly see gas companies and OPEC nations raising prices immediately following the boycott to make up for any potential profit losses and to no doubt show the consumer and western countries, who is really in control. Here are a few tips I came across to help you get the best value for your gas dollar, the last thing you want to do is waste away that $4 a gallon liquid When filling at the pump, set the nozzle trigger to the lowest speed, thereby creating a minimum amount of vapors. Gas pumped at a high speed into your tank has a far greater chance of becoming gasoline vapor, vapors that you just paid for are being sucked back into the underground storage tanks and resold. The idea being, to get as much fuel into your tank as possible, while creating as little vapors as possible. Fill up when your tank is half full, by minimizing the amount of air in your tank you are further eliminating the possibility for the gas to evaporate into excess air. When filling up try to do so in the early morning, when its cold out. All gas stations have underground storage tanks and in the morning the ground temperature is at it's coolest. Like most liquid substances, when gasoline is cool its density increases. Keeping in mind that while gasoline is denser when cool, it in turn, expands when warm. So by filling up in the late morning or afternoon when the ground temperature has increase you will most likely be getting less than an actual gallon per metered gallon. Now this is all well and good for getting the most out of your gas dollar, while the consumer still is for the most part rendered helpless. Lets face it— we as a society for better or worse rely on our cars for daily life. By not buying gas, as the consumer and the oil compa- nies well know, we end up hurting ourselves far more than we could ever impact the oil industry. The power we do have as consumers is to choose from who we buy our gas. The idea being that if consumers avoid making purchases from the larger gas companies, Shell, Exxon/Mobile, Chevron/Texaco, they will be forced to lower prices. When the industry giants lower their prices the smaller, independent gas companies will have to follow suit. Unfortunately in this case one person can't make any kind of difference. For any kind of result or effect to be felt by OPEC and their American oil company bedmates, consumers nation wide need to act. Your alternative to action is grabbing your ankles and wait for $5 a gallon this summer, then drop to your knees and prey for divine intervention, the only likely way the oil industry would be inclined to stop gas prices from rising without consumer action. Any action is better than inaction. Church's Influence on Sports NHL P layoffs s et t o b egin Kane and Jonathon the true answer came when AlexanToews.

Stanley Cup It is never too early to say who the clear favorites are going into the playoffs. I believe that the winner will come out of the West once again, but you never know in the best of seven series. However, I still feel that the Ducks are going to do what they do best and that is shut down top scoring line after top scoring line in order to win the cup. However, the San Jose Sharks do have home ice against the Ducks and have become the team to beat heading into the playoffs. With the Sharks and Ducks facing off in the Western Conference final, I would predict that the Eastern Conference final will match up the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. And I will stick to my preseason prediction of the Anaheim Ducks sweeping the Flyers in the Stanley Cup Finals. Any questions or comments can be sent to churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. It is j ust a g a m e BY BILLRHEIN Pride Staff Writer There is nothing more relaxing after a hard day of classes than to wander off into the fantastic realm of video games. Moreover, nothing is more annoying than someone who complains while playing video games. Players who insist on shouting every time they feel the game systems has wronged them belong on the same level of frustration as those who talk aloud at the cinema. First, shouting will get a player nowhere. As technologically advanced as it is, the XBOX 360 system cannot hear you. If the enemy kills you in "Call of Duty," even though you think you got a headshot, complaining about it does not make a difference. The game goes on and the player has another chance. Swearing and bellowing, "no way!" does not take away what just happened. The effect of shouting is on others nearby. Fellow players and people nearby often do not sympathize when a game does not go as expected. They may not be willing to admit it, this racket is bothersome and a waste of time. In the big picture, these other people do not care if the player really did hit all the notes on "Guitar Hero." Gamers have linked unpopularity to people who whine while playing. Often the case in games like "Halo" is that a grenade that was not seen kills players or because shots from the Battle Rifle were not as accurate as thought. Yet this is where most complaining occurs. Most games are advanced enough dispense damage fairly. However, there are occasions where the game glitches and something occurs unjustly. Players must keep this is mind and consider that they too might have been helped by a error at one point. What goes around comes around. Possibly the most annoying brand of complaints comes from instances where players moan about being truly bested. In this world, fate gifts some people in areas more than others are. When beaten by someone of greater skill, one should gracefully admit defeat, rather than complain that the other person is a nerd who only plays that game all the time. Even thought there is resentment against those who are experts, other players would like to have that skill if possible and are just upset they are not as good Even though pressure may be overwhelming, players should remember video games are just games. Complaining does not better the person and it only ruins the experience for others. �UIVJJ/O FEATURES THE pride L Ljr\L Tuesday, April 8,2008 Tliesïtey April 8 • Monday April 14 8:00 a.m. Info table for the US Marines Còsta Rica Information A CD 102 1 2:00 p M * Sexual Assault Awareness F örum P l à ^ l ^ ^ S ^ i B 1 2:00 p«ni» Jgj ^^^^ffipeezway/Terrace g ASJYoga Bite p i t of Ihe Budget 3 Plaza S fts&tt 8:00 Cougar Bazaar & Student Fundraising Week ^Keilogg Plaza Friday April 11 1 0 1 Bag Football iífngrm F j Ä l ^ 12:00 p.m. SOOjxtii.

"The letter was prompted by discussions with students (both at CSUSM and at my children's school) about Huerta and Chavez. Over the years I have been teaching, many students have asked why Chavez is honored with a holiday, statues, etc and Huerta is forgotten," said Wilson. "I was motivated to think about how, on a local level, we could honor Huerta and decided a movement to t ry and put a statue of her alongside Chavez would be a good way to honor her work and give her the rightful place she deserves next to Chavez. Also, as Chavez day is supposed to be a day honoring community service, I think the idea of using the holiday to serve underrepresented communities (like the predominantly Latino, dual-immersion school I visited on Thursday) is in keeping with the purpose of the day — to inspire service and activism to change one's community for the better." Dolores Huerta worked alongside Chavez, fighting for the rights of farm and field workers, immigrants, and migrant workers. "Although Chavez has been framed as the ' father' of the farm workers/Latino rights cause, she (Huerta) is just as important as him. Yet, in keeping with our patriarchal culture, we honor the fathers and forget the mothers," said Wilson. Wilson plays an active role in the Women's Center and Women's Studies department in addition to the Literature and Writing department. Earlier this year, CSUSM recognized Wilson under its February Faculty Achievements for her many publications including a chapter, "Womb Fiction: Late Twentieth Century Challenges to the Woman as Womb Paradigm," H §ll§ll9 M 8 & 8 i 0 : 3 0 Ss *a i THE PRIDE importantly, though, is the message that the CSUSM campus community does not condone sexual assault and is actively working to stop it. H opefully we'll get a good t urn out so the message is loud and clear." Following the information f air all in attendance are invited and welcome to walk together without fear to symbolize the end of the victimization of women. history, we hope that you will please consider putting a statue of Huerta next to the Chavez statue." "She should put a statue next to the other one of Chavez that is the same size and not smaller or behind Chavez," added third grader Naomi C lift. When asked why Huerta should also have a statue, third grade student Oscar Garcis replied, "They worked together as a team, and they were equally important in the fight for f arm workers rights." The experience proved enlightening to Wilson, having received skepticism from educators over whether or not the issues discussed would be too complicated for young students to comprehend. "These kids proved that they do understand and can grasp the injustice of the way in which our world judges people based on skin color, monetary earnings, or on whether they are male or female. They were really in Women in Anglophone Literary Culture: Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Perspectives Ed. Robin Hammerman, Cambridge: Cambridge Scholars Press, 2007. In her discussion with students, Wilson cited many important women in history including Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary Wollstonecraft, Pocahonatas, Sacajawea, Mary Shelley, and J.K. Rowling. To end the discussion, Wilson discussed the achievements and advancements made throughout history to help women attain their rights, adding that letters and petitions are ways of evoking change. Students then collectively d rafted their letter for Haynes stating, "We, the students of Valley Elementary feel* that Dolores Huerta deserves to have a statue next to Cesar Chavez. They both worked together; she was j ust as important as he was. In order to honor her and women's excited to learn about feminism and important women," said Wilson. "I would love to see CSUSM student organizations get involved in trying to make the statue a reality. We have so many vibrant groups and passionate students on this campus from MECHA to the Black Students Union to the Women's Center, the LGBTQ center, the Cross Cultural Center, and Women's Studies Student Association. With their help, and the support of faculty and departments, it seems that even in this time of horrendous budget cuts, we could direct our energies towards honoring a woman who so valiantly fights for social justice." Any students interested in f urthering the movement on campus can follow the advice of Valley Elementary student Georgia Gilmore, "Students at college should sign a petition and show it to President Haynes to show their support of the statue." mat a|l:iil|l|il S From NIGHT, page 1 higher education and stop student fee increases," said Cervantes. "Over 3.2 million students at the CCC, CSU and UC will be adversely affected by $1 billion dollars in cuts to higher education," said SSCCC President Frank Fernandez of Imperial Valley College. "With the help of UCSA and CSSA, we are organizing our peers at over 100 CCC campuses across the state to take action on 4-21-08."

After the march there will be a press conference hosted by CSSA to talk about the proposed budget and other support efforts happening throughout California's education system. "Students for California's Future" encourages all students on all other California campuses to rally together and take a stand for their education.

There is no denial among researchers that autism has reached pandemic proportions because of some unknown change occurring in current generations. In 2003, Florida congressman and physician Dave Weldon reopened a previously discarded debate on whether thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in common vaccines in the United States, may cause autism. Some parents of autistic children claimed their babies and toddlers were developing normally then suddenly became unusually withdrawn within hours of receiving a routine round of pediatric shots. As promising as it sounded, multiple studies have repeatedly failed to present a connection between thimerosal and autism. Other researchers have theorized that widespread illegal drug use in the 1960s and 1970s somehow broke into the genetic code of humanity and altered the fundamental structure of DNA. Some public health agencies like the CDC and FDA once even thought that preservatives or pesticides in food contributed to the ever-growing problem. Science's unanimous conclusion that drug use is h armful still could not account for any con- sistent DNA change, nor could the FDA conclusively prove that preservatives produce immediate harm in the consumer. The only known facts in the world of ASD are of the disease's frequency and questionability. Those affected with ASD may find comfort in the Autism Society of America's support groups and throughout the States. The local chapters reach out to those with the disorder and families linked to autism. The Autism Soci- iifièfil mttm I ifkt ety of America also collaborates with many other organizations like CARD, the Center for Autism and Related Diseases, NARPAA, National Association of Residential Providers for Adults with Autism, and WAO, the World Autism Organization.

On his way to a dinner at the Rev. Samuel "Billy" Kyles' home with several of his political aides—only four of which whom are still alive—as history will never forget, it's no secret that MLK never made it to that dinner. Shot by James Earl Ray, MLK's assassination devastated fellow civil rights leaders, communities, and the nation as a whole as it embarked upon a very fragile and controversial time in U.S. History. Forty years later, MLK's legacy and dream still lives on. From his infamous words delivered to a Memphis congregation on April 3, 1968, the night before his murder: "We've got some difficult days ahead, but it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop..." MLK's ideals and hopes for America inspired generations. In 1963, MLK's March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was a milestone for all Americans and the pursuit of civil liberties, as it was a turning point in U.S. History. It was during this march in which MLK delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to more than 200,000 civil rights supporters. MLK not only fathered the birth of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but also rallied the 1965 Voting Rights Act, both of which Lyndon B. Johnson made sure passed when he took over the role as President after the assassination of JFK.

Additonally, to learn more about MLK, please visit thekingcenter.org, a center established by Coretta Scott King in 1968 to carry on the legacy of her husband and educate the future generations of civil rights leaders about MLK's dream. �The Pride Goes on Spring Break Adam Lowe yjedoesW'*1 Went down to a little Mexican beach town called La Mission south of Rosarito.

As of March 30th 2008, the EU-US so-called Open Skies agreement o fficially goes into e ffect. The agreement opens up the t ransatlantic market to more f ree-market competition. More competition among a irlines will allow for more business o pportunities for airline companies and more choices for travelers. B efore the Open Skies agreement, f lights between the U.S. and Europe were governed by s eparate, individual agreements made between the United States and c ertain European n ations. The previous p acts made it m andatory for airlines to t ake o ff or land in t heir native c ountries, and also limited which a irlines could p rovide service to c ertain a irports. Now, with the new agreement in e ffect, it allows for a much more level playing field among all the companies serving the t rans-Atlantic market. With t his new level playing f ield comes many b enefits. For i nstance, British A irways will be launching a new airline called OpenSkies that will p rovide nonstop service f rom JFK to P aris, B russels, and Amsterdam. Many other airlines such as A ir France, Continental, Delta and Northwest will be opening up new f light options and b egin s erving many new p orts according to the New York Times. With many new players in the m ix, airlines will begin an all out s kirmish that will create many more travel options and possibly lower p rices for customers. With the f reedom to provide service to new locations, airlines will begin to schedule f lights to all new locations. Heathrow, one of E urope's most popular may be the location with the biggest increase of usage with new s ervice f rom airlines such as C ontinental, Delta, and N orthwest for t he f irst t ime. Later t his year, many airlines plan to add daily service to Heathrow f rom many U.S. cities such as Detroit, M inneapolis, and Seattle. As previously mentioned in the New York Times, according to J erry Chandler, author of cheapflights.corn's travel blog "We d on't even begin to get a glimmer of the possibilities of an open-market competition yet," Chandler has been t racking the open-skies agree- ment f rom the b eginning and says " there could be a lot of f lourishing of routes in markets that currently d on't exist, especially f rom smaller U.S. cities to E uropean hubs." So it seems that the new Open Skies agreement will benefit everyone involved but the b urning question still remains. Will it really lower a irfare prices for trans-Atlantic travel? Although it is unclear at this point, a study done by a consulting firm called Battle Group revealed that the new agreement should put pressure on airlines to reduce fares by 4 to 10 percent. As for the rest, it will be interesting to see how the new open market plays out of companies and travelers alike.

Think you're all done and ready for your second year of college? Well, u nfortunately there is j ust one more require- ment that all first-year students must finish before they r eturn to Cal State San Marcos for their second-year, and that is the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). The CCR is a four-part test that evaluates students on their proficiency in varying computer related pro- grams and ethics. This test is geared toward testing the proficiency levels students in the use of basic word processing, spreadsheet concepts, basic internet use, and knowledge in v irus & ethics. Although it may sound like a lot of information to the not-so tech savvy, rest assured that I nstructional & Information Technology Services provides all the necessary study materials and tutorials to help with preparation. All this study material can be found on their website found in the "Technology" link in the Will Global Warming D estroy the E arth? W hat does the Bible say?

And with the pending end of this spring semester, there is not much time l eft to take this test, although the library provides adequate hours to help students find the time that best suits their schedule. Until May 9th, students are able to able to take the exam on Friday, 10 A M to 2 PM and Saturday, 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM in Academic Hall 202. The CCR may also be taken at the Cal State San Marcos Southwest Riverside campus if it so conveniences students in that area. As well as study guides, Cal State San Marcos also provides a course (CS 100) that may be taken throughout the semester to help those that prefer to take a class as opposed to the test, and upon successful completion of the course, the student satisfies their Computer Competency Requirement. Not to mention that the four p arts that make up the test may be taken separately and at the will of the student. Each p art takes about 30 minutes to complete, which means that students don't have to sit for long periods of time to finish this test. With all the services to help students f ulfill this requirement, the only t hing hindering the completion of t his test is the s tudent's level of procrastination. �Sign-ups still open for powder puff football BY AMANDA A NDREEN Pride Staff Writer Boys in skimpy cheerleader outfits with makeup and pom-poms and girls in football gear with face paint and matching shirts are usually the images that come to mind whenever the term "Powder P uff' is mentioned. Sure, there are probably plenty of Facebook and Myspace pictures out there of just that too—but now all CSUSM students can participate in and witness such a spectacle firsthand. The time is now CSUSM, when all the females on campus have the opportunity to kick some Powder Puff butt. Sponsored by ASI Campus Recreation, this month the annual Powder Puff Football event and tournament begins Friday, April 11, and continues the next Friday, April 18 from noon to 4 p.m. The event and the games will take place on two designated fields at the lower field located on the corner of Twin Oaks Valley Rd. and Craven Rd. Signups are open at the Clarke Field House in FH 119 through Friday the 11th at 12 p.m. However, space is limited as only the first 12 teams to register can participate, so for those interested, don't wait too long, or the only available spots will be the ones at the sidelines watching. To register a team, at least three people from a team need to be present, and one of those three present needs to be the team leader. There can be eight people on a team plus a coach. Teams are encouraged to have coaches, so feel free to invite a boyfriend, brother, friend, husband, or classmate to coach a team. Once a team is registered, the rest of the individuals on the team can stop by the Clarke anytime to add herself to the roster. Registration for the tournament costs $5/person, but if CSUSM Softball s taying s trong down t he s tretch a registrant has participated in any intramural activity previously this year and already paid the $10 fee for the year, then registration is free. There will also be a "Free Agent" team with an open roster for anyone who does not have ateam but wishes to play. Teams are also encouraged to matching uniforms—though not required—however, there may be a reward for the "Best Uniform." Saul Garcia of Campus Recreation said, "The winning team will all receive Intramural Champion shirts and have a plaque with their team name and picture on it in our trophy case which is located in the hallway of thefieldhouse." All teams will play in the tournament both days. On the 11th' teams will play two games and then on the 18th teams will be ranked and participate in the single elimination tournament.

Spring Break, how I love thee! Let me count the ways! You are the best time of year because you bring about some of the greatest things this world has to offer: Hot girls and, of course, wet t-shirts! Well, no. Okay, yes, but that is neither here nor there. Don't get me wrong, I love a chick in a wet t-shirt, but that is not how to make Spring Break last. So what does make Spring Break what it is? What are some of the greatest things about Spring Break that make it so wonderful and so seemingly long? Spring Break for me is sitting in a hammock, sipping an ice cold beer, getting a little drunk and enjoying the fact that I get to spend some well deserved time relaxing. For me, a graduating senior, I am just counting the days until I get to bid this school farewell for my undergrad work. But this last semester before I decide that I am done, I'm taking this last Spring Break to cherish the time I have left. I think back to my childhood of listening to the relaxing tunes of movies like "Endless Summer" back in the 70s. Those surf tunes are absolutely soothing and relaxing. I just want to crank that while allowing the alcohol to permeate within me, creating the perfect feeling of a complete lack of care. But what is the greatest way to make this Spring Break last as long as it possibly can? This is how. Grab a good drink, turn on some good music and relax. Whether you are going on a trip or just staying at home this Spring Break, there is nothing more relaxing and naturally soothing than just letting life pass you by as you relax. Whether you enjoy the classic surf tunes from "Endless Summer" or something like the everamazing Bob Marley, just throw some of that on and have yourself a relaxing time. Maybe even take a few hours to hang out with friends and watch a good old classic 80s film like "The Goonies" or perhaps even "The Adventures in Babysitting" don't lie, you know you love that one! For me, I took this Spring Break to get a variety of relaxing goodness. I went camping in Big Sur and enjoyed some amazing beer as well as a swig or two of my favorite rum - all while spending time with my family. I went to Disneyland and spent some time with our most beloved rodent - but what did you do? However you spent your Spring Break, I hope that you were able to enjoy a good time that was just as relaxing as mine - I know it was needed and deserved - so, with that, I say, "Cheers to you! Now back to the grinding stone." BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Amid the glitz and glamour of Orange County are many bands that deserve some recognition. This year at the Orange County Music Awards, there were a few surprises but also some expected wins. A few of the bands that I have seen on a regular basis here in Orange County were up for some of the awards at this show. Of the many nominations, among the sea of names were some that I recognized easily. Of these known names, I actually was quite hoping the best for a few of them. Hollowell, for example, was up for Best Live Electric Band. Though they did not win, they still get to enjoy their time overseas with the troops in Iraq, starting on April 3, 2008.Last year's winner of the Best Alternative Band, Sleepless Me, had to step down as the title-holder of that award this year. This year, the Best Alternative Band award went to a band called Bayadera (http://bayadera. ning.com/). Personally, I've never heard of them, but they won the award so they must have something good to offer. Give them a listen. Perhaps they actually are as good as their award would suggest. Sleepless Me is not the only former winner to have to step down. Deccatree, last years Best Indie Band, no longer holds that title because of this year's winner, Chris Paul Overall (www.myspace.com/chrispauloverall), snagging the title. Overall is one of the most talented musicians in the Orange County area with a 5-octave vocal ability. If you want to hear true talent, you need to check out this guy. As for the last honorable mention from me, we have the winner of the Best Live Acoustic Male: AJ DeGrasse (www.myspace.com/ajdegrasse). AJ plays every Tuesday at the Gypsy Lounge (www. thegypsylounge.com) in Lake Forest, CA with Chris Paul Overall, as well as many other great Orange County artists. The only real way to explain AJ's voice is - it is big. His voice really takes the whole stage. If you are interested in any of the other information regarding who was nominated and who won some of the other awards, check out www.orangecountymusicawards.com and you will get every bit of information you could ever want including pictures from the event that was held at The Grove of Anaheim. I think I'd say that all who won - won big! Finally, a reason to buy a Wii Super Smash Brothers Brawl BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer After weeks of product testing, the consensus of gamers is that "Super Smash Brothers Brawl" is the first game that makes owning a Jill Nintendo Wii necessary. While the system is unique with its motion s ensitive con- trollers, there was not enough support to justify investing in the system. However, "Brawl" has changed that. It is a fun, addicting game that takes minutes to learn, and countless hours to master. Released March 9 in North America, this is the third game in the SSB series. The game play is simple. It is a third person side-scrolling fighting game, featuring characters from classic Nintendo games present and past. These include Mario, Link from "The Legend of Zelda," Samas Aran from "Metroid" and several new characters. Both others games were excellent, and this is no different. The graphics are stunning and the interface is well done. Where this game stands out is the new storyline. Several villains, including Wario, Bowser, and King DeDeDe from the "Kirby" series, have kidnapped other characters and it is the gamer's responsibility to track them down. Starting with only a few playable heroes, players find more allies as the game progresses across the Nintendo world. Though it involves multiple storylines, the game is engrossing and appeals to people who have not even played previous installments in the series. The definitive best part about "Brawl" is the new features for multiplayer. Snake from the "Metal Gear Solid" series and Sonic from the "Sonic the Hedgehog" series are two of the most notable additions. Each has intense moves to bring to the battlefield, and they are not the only new faces. There are also new maps to battle on, as well as the mapmaker feature. Finally, new to the game is the final smash attack. Occasionally on the map, the SSB logo will appear and when acquired, it grants the player a special power ranging from more potent punches and blasters to access to allies and super-powered weapons. Each time the option to obtain this occurs, gamers may temporarily forget about the battle to get hold of this power. The idea of the game is simple, but Sora Ltd., the developers of this game, but not the previous two, has included several facets to make the game more enjoyable. Even if the financial situation may be tight, this game is five stars and justifies buying a Wii. ¡Centhood th In order to receive Campus Emergency Alerts you must self registerInto t h e s y s t e m ! !

The plot line is one most of us will recognize: a 20th century plague virus breaks out; the government tries to put up walls to quarantine the population; and in turn, society declines into anarchy. The walls can't hold the virus as it spreads to the rest of the world, so writer director Neil Marshall throws a few twists into an otherwise all to familiar scenario. The film's trailer boasts, "it was an epidemic unlike any other," but after about 30 seconds of watching "Doomsday," one could quickly conclude that this is an epidemic in cinema like far too many others. With ground zero for chaos set in Glasgow, Scotland, this time it's the "dreaded virus Reaper" infecting the populous. The English waste no time in locking and barricading Scots behind a wall, following the Roman frontier's boundaries and surrounding Scotland. In a scenario moviegoers have seen before, the society collapses into anarchy. Left to die behind the wall, waiting for help that never came, the weak are killed and eaten, and soon all signs of life are gone from the quarantine zone. The first of a very few original twists in this plot line comes three decades later in the plot with the return of the Reaper virus, and this time it's in London. As the virus suddenly returns on the opposite side of the wall, government officials see signs of life on streets of Scotland's cities. With the world's population in jeopardy, British officials assemble a team to go back into the initial quarantine zone and find the cure.

Yet this mediocre film fails on many levels. This is astonishing considering the star power and factors behind the film. The film producers had a good idea, but the movie left me begging for the end. The book "Bringing Down the House" is the inspiration for the film. The best selling book is the t rue story of Ben Mezrich, who used math and card counting to win large amounts of money in Las Vegas casinos. Jim Sturgess plays Ben, a math genius who needs money so that he can attend Harvard Medical School. Kevin Spacey, a professor, notices his talent and invites him to learn card counting so that he can devise a teamwork system to guarantee continuous wins at blackjack. Ben's life becomes complicated when he falls for a teammate played by Kate Bosworth and casino security puts the pressure on him. One place this film went wrong was with the acting. Jim Sturgess had his big break with the lead in "Across the Universe " but this actor f rom the UK had a hard time being a believable American college student. The audience might fail to care for his character due to the lack of depth. The other big name in this film is Kevin Spacey, who has proved himself as one of the greatest actors ever. However, one cannot always be perfect as Spacey gives a moderate performance as a stereotypical college professor who quotes "Ferris Bueller's Day O ff." More small flaws plague this film, which the flashy clothes and stylish music could not cover. The idea that inspires this film is fine, yet it becomes boring. At first, the depiction of card counting is exciting, but the repetitive nature of the action becomes boring. In between scenes in casinos are unoriginal moments showing the rise and fall of a movie character. Ben starts as a nerdy college student, who uses his skill to become something great and win the attention of the girl he has adored for a long time. Nevertheless, in the process, he forgets his t rue friends, then his world comes crashing down, and he must redeem himself. The end is predictable and like other films of this nature everything becomes right and Ben still gets the girl. The structure of the film being similar to many others may cause this movie to flop. Despite being based on a bestselling book and having notable actors, "21" might only score the titular number on a scale out of 100.

THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer While taking a trip to the Philippines might seem a tad bit difficult, tasting a product f rom Southeast Asia is not that far f rom reach. San Miguel Corporation brews San Miguel Dark Lager in Manila, Philippines. Logret Import and Export Company in City of Industry, California, imports the lager. The cardboard container holds six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $6.99. The labeling is similar to most imported beers. The packaging consists of blue and yellow accents fea- turing a f rosty bottle nestled in a bed of ice. The bottles are labeled slightly different. The bottles contain a sophisticated gold and blue label. A copper bottle cap with the company's logo in red and black stencil caps a lager with 5% alcohol by volume. The lager pours semismooth releasing an almost completely black ale creating a half-inch thick head. The head keeps formation for a few moments then disappears. The lager creates an aroma similar to that of a bread bakery as doughy scents surround the f rosty mug. The lager enters smooth with a hint of excitement. Unlike most brews that peak with a onetime p owerful punch of flavor, the lager's peak of energy continues throughout the swallow and lingers for a brief moment thereafter. The lager leaves a bittersweet taste in the mouth. Ease back into school with this week's béer of the week and enjoy a wonderful product of a land far, far away. Welcome back, Cougars!

In an effort to gather information and get student feedback regarding the Union, the university put together many focus groups of students who met facility planners and architects on Tues. March 18. The meetings were designed to acquire student feedback and gather information in regards to As enrollment at CSUSM is increasing, the university is looking to expand campus life and resources with talks of adding a new Student Union. Currently, the process is in its first phase, which consists of gathering information students wants and needs in a Student Union. In attendance to conduct the research were Brailsord & Dunlavey Facility Planners and the HGA Architecture Firm. The first question addressed to students in attendance was why they chose to come to Cal State San Marcos. Student responses varied but mostly had to do with small class sizes and location. Consistent with the focus on student wants and needs; the meeting proceeded .with discussion surrounding what students would like to see in a Student Union on campus. James Carruthers of Braiisford & Dunlavey made it apparent that they were listening to what students had to say when he stated, GRADFEST 2008 Gas prices skyrocket nationwide Price per gallon could rise to $4 this summer BY JONATHAN E.

The vote was 5-2, the minimum needed to pass it. The ban includes locations like La Jolla Cove, Mission * Beach and Ocean Beach. Banning alcohol on beaches has come up with the city council in the past. In 1994, the city council voted for the same type of one-year trial ban, but opponents gathered enough signatures for a referendum, and the council was forced to repeal the ban. In 2002, the ballot included voting on an 18-month alcohol in parts of Pacific Beach and Mission Beach, which was rejected by a narrow margin. About 30,209, or 5% of registered city voters, would be needed to force a referendum in the same manner at 1994.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Turtles ûéFS, BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer "You do realize you have a reptile in your house then?" Ok, in all fairness, it's not so much a reptile as a turtle. Before you get all taxonomy and point out that a turtle is a reptile, it's not really. It's a turtle. Reptiles freak you out if they escape from their cages, and they do things like slither, and make your grandmother faint. A turtle just kind of galumphs along. But wait. There's more. This turtle is much more than a turtle. This, my friends, is war with a shell. Well, more like a passive aggressive battle of wits between my significant other and myself. You see, this is relationship rehab. Recovering addicts, depending on the program, are taught to ease back into responsibility. Try a plant. Then a fish. Then a dog or a cat. Thenfinally,you can move onto people. I didn't go to rehab, but I've been in a buttload of unhealthy relationships. I did things a little backwards though. I got the guy first. Then followed it up with no plant, and now a turtle. So really, I think we're both just making sure ^we can keep the turtle alive before we make a bigger commitment. I mean, would you marry a turtle killer? No, I wouldn't either. So, here's a little view of how my morning went. Get up too early. Check and make sure turtle's still alive. He's still alive. (Sidenote: we don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet. People have been asking me how you check the sex. Answer: Play soft music and buy it flowers and candy until it rolls over for you.) Text significant other to say that I'm worried Mr. Turtle doesn't have enough room to swim and he seems unhappy. Significant other's response: "He'll be fine, babe. Take him on a field trip to the bathtub." Um, my boyfriend's ex-roommate used to go shopping. At bars. For men. Every night. I'm way more worried about the bath tub giving Mr. Turtle the clap than I am about catching salmonella from him. I'm pretty sure if the turtle catches syphilis on my watch, I lose the battle. So, perhaps you too are in a serious relationship but afraid to take that next step. But I bet if you knew the next step could eat goldfish, like mine can, you'd be all over that and walking down the aisle (or having a commitment ceremony in the Bahamas.. .or being hitched at a drive-thru chapel in Vegas by Elvis) i n no time. - �Voice Can it "Country Pop" BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer W hen I t hink of c ountry m usic, I t hink of one of t wo t hings.

For years, spring break has been notorious for its high levels of excess drinking and sexuality. However, recent studies have shown a change in trends. A Nielsen Media study shows 84% of college students drank responsibly and 90% think providing community service projects to college students is a good way to spend their spring break. Some of the more infamous destinations for student retreats include Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, Rosarito, and Cabo San Lucas. From GAS, page 1 sees sharp gas price increases as summertime approaches. People o ften travel more during the summer as they vacation across the nation. The increased demand lowers the available supply, thus in6reasing the cost of gas. Gas prices are an u nfortunate p art of CSUSM. CSUSM currently holds the label as a commuter school. Most Cougars commute to campus. This inherent phenomenon is evident in the parking lots. Increasing gas prices are not enough to thwart o ff an education, therefore forcing students to shell out the extra bucks at the pump. Junior Business Major Kyle McClellan seemed to have a lot to say when asked about his opinion on gas prices. "Soon gas prices will be higher than the Empire State Building. It's so expensive I will have to mortgage my house j ust to buy another gallon. I t hink I will have to invest in a bicycle to ride everywhere. If Gandhi were alive, he would agree with me, gas is too expensive. Gas already costs an arm Sarj Marcos Over the past weekend, police arrested three young men in Daytona Beach, Florida for detonating an explosion at local hotel terrace. The blast mildly injured a nearby family, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal. On March 15, authorities halted the Spring Fling event hosted by Associated Students Incorporated abruptly due to rambunctious activities by many. of attendees. Reports onboard the San Diego yacht of underage drinking and detrimental behavior by a number of underage students surfaced and forced the event back to shore. Locally, San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre specifically addressed students and warned them of the alcohol ban on all San Diego beaches. "San Diego city beaches are now alcohol free," Aguirre said in a letter sent out to 20 nearby universities in California, Arizona, and Colorado. "Violating this law can put a real damper on your entire spring break." First time offenders could be fined up to $250 and repeat offenders as much as $1000. and a leg, what body p art comes next," McClellan said. The trend seems to show no mercy. Gas prices have been increasing for years, granted there are few decreases along the way. Unfortunately, these decreases are minuscule and short lived. Make preparations now and plan for $4 per gallon of gas this summer.

One of the most notable and skilled unconventional artists is Phil Hansen. Though his works reflect the same skill as most drawings and sculptures, Hansen uses several unique tactics to create his art. In one of his works, "Influence," he only uses paint and his own body as a canvas. However, he has also used pinecones, other parts of nature, a blowtorch, and his own hands and feet as paintbrushes. "Influence" is a video of Hansen painting thirty pictures on his own stomach—most of which are of people that influenced him. Not only is being able to point on one's own chest a skill, he does it thirty times and with incredible skill. Hansen paints each picture A video of inspiration over the one before it. He reveals his clever thought process in the end when he peels the entire work off and cuts it into two faces opposite each other. The skill of his work comes from the material he chooses to use and/or how he makes it. There are instances where his piece is made of eggs, Starbuck's cups, or matches, in which he cannot create an outline, and most times, he does not have the final picture before him. The project wraps around him and he can imagine the entire work in his mind without physically seeing it. There is more to his work than just "Influence." He has created over a dozen works of art, most of which become destroyed in the process and only exist in online videos. His videos are on YouTube, but his main website is www.philinthecircle.com, where viewers can watch the production, completion, and destruction of his art. Photo courtesy philinthecircle.com 0 - Team's Spoon Wars BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Has anyone else seen random students around campus carrying bright green spoons in their hands? It's more than likely that the answer is yes, so this brings about the question of why? Why are students carrying around bright green Kermit spoons, to be exact? Well, it looks like the answer can be found at Student Life and Leadership, where many campus inquiries can be answered. For its second year, the Orientation Team from Student Life and Leadership—also known as the O-Team—is in the middle of a war: a spoon war. What initially began as a way for the O-Team to grow and learn about one another, has quickly evolved into a new tradition here at CSUSM that is integrated within the entire campus community. Implemented by Jennie Goldman, the director of New Student Programs, and O-Team Director John Hall, this new tradition is an adaptation of the game "Assassins." "Each person on O-Team was given a bright green Kermit plastic spoon," said O-Team member Angela Ortiz. "We are to carry the spoons everywhere. They need to be in our hand and if we let go of the spoon, it must be able to fall." Throughout the war, each participant has an assigned "target" they are watching. If they catch their target without their spoon, their target is out—or technically speaking, "spooned," by their hunter, and then the target's target becomes the hunter's new target. Everyone on the O-Team is a hunter and a target during the spoon war. "We cannot tag a person while they are working or if there is a presentation going on during one of our O-team meetings. Other than that, you can tag a person anytime, anywhere," said Stepha- eventually become the foundation for Seeqpod.

BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Beware of the spoon nie Michaels of the O-Team. "This is a team building exercise that teaches you to keep your friends close, and your spoons even closer," said O-Team member Kevin Chatham. "The spoon war can last for a really long time or a really short time," said Ortiz. "This game can go on for months..." said Hall. Last year Ortiz got spooned at home by her own sister who was also on the O-Team only an hour after the war started, and Michaels lost at last year's Spring Fling while dancing without holding her spoon. "I wanted a truce so I didn't have to dance with my spoon but my friends wouldn't do it," said Michaels. Chatham, commenting last year's war said, ""I can't believe I got out! I thought she was just giving me a hug but she spooned me!" "Ifyou see someone holding a plastic green spoon, then you know who O-Team is and you know the Spoon War is on. The Spoon War is all about bonding with your target," said Ortiz. "You get to know where they hang out, whether it's the library, C3, SLL or in some random classroom. You try to scope out who others have, and attempt to build alliances. No one is safe, not at any Spring Fling dance, lunch outing, O-Team meeting or before class." "The spoon wars are a great way for our organization to 1oe visible, have fun, and further build community in our organization," added Hall. "Whether in orientations or in the classroom, O-Team will be there to show school spirit, even if it means holding a little green spoon with the image of Kermit the Frog all over it," said Ortiz.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer In a world briefing released by the New York Times on Feb. 28, the Associated Press announced that South A frica's government said it would end a 13-year mor• atorium on killing elephants beginning in May to reduce the overgrown population of South A frican elephants in hopes of protecting the ecosystem and impacted wildlife parks. The brief stated that at the t urn of the 20th century, there were only 200 elephants in South A frica. Now, there are between 18 and 20 thousand, according to varying sources. A 11 s ources a gree though, that the number of elephants currently in South A frica is expected to double by the year 2020—merely 12 years f rom now. Interestingly enough, there is another population of elephants that is undergoing population problems. However, t his p opulation's problem i sn't overgrowth, it is extinction. 5,853 miles across the Indian Ocean, in Laos, once heralded for i t's numerous herds and once dubbed the "Land of a million elephants," only has what is believed to be 700 Asian elephants l eft in the wild. In a c ountry lush with forest and vegetation, i t's a harsh % contrast f rom the scene in South A frica where n atural vegetation is t aking a b eating f eeding the some 20,000 .elephants there, that can each eat 5% of t heir weight a day. According to the World Wide Fund for N ature, it is estimated that there are only 25,000 wild Asian elephant^ l eft and 15,0.00 captive Asian elephants. A hundred years ago however, Thailand is thought to have had upwards of 100,000 Asian elephants. So why are there so few Asian elephants l eft in Laos? T hanks to f armers, p oachers, loggers, and dam builders (who all use elephants as t heir labor), i t's becoming harder for the endangered elephants to survive the t hreats and demands of man. Naturally, the f irst thought one might have is to j ust ship some—or in t his case thousands—of the South A frican elephants to the lush and under-populated Laos. However, the two species of elephants are vastly d ifferent. And now, t hrough DNA test- 1 H ü ing, it is believed that there is a ctually a t hird species of elephant. The t hird species comes j ust f rom the distinction b etween the A frican forest elephants and the A frican s avanna elephants. The A frican forest elephant is slightly smaller t han the more o ften seen Savanna elephant (Loxodonta A fricana), which is the species most commonly seen by the world in zoos, s afarigoers, and tourists to A frica.

The Associated Press conducted a five-month long investigation that revealed pharmaceutical drugs in the drinking water supplies of 24 large metropolitan areas. Trace concentrations ofiheart medicine, infection fighters, estrogen hormones, anti-convulsarits, mood stabilizers, and tranquilizers were found in areas including southern California, New Jersey, [Michigan, and Kentucky. Similar drugs were found in upstate New York and in Philadelphia, other medicines such as asthma, high cholesterol, and epilepsy were found. In southern California, anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications were revealed in treated drinking water that 18.5 million people consume. The article reports that over the past couple of years, Americans' intake of prescription and nonprescription drugs has increased. The i contamination of water could conceivably be traced back to metabolized use (drugs do not just "stay" in our bodies and are "flushed out" and back into the water supply) or simply unused by humans. Additionally, there is the issue of contaminants, such pesticides and lead that have been focused on and regulated because higher concentrations presented a clear health risk. In regards to pharmaceutical drugs, some officials note that human safety may not be jeopardized because of studies done with larger amounts of trace concentrations and lab animals. Other officials are concerned because humans consume water every day consistently and in respectable amounts. Another point of view on the subject is that pharmaceuticals, contrasting to other contaminants, are designed for the humans. With a compounding consumption, these trace amounts could especially affect and be more devastating to those more in more sensitive conditions—the elderly, pregnant women, and significantly ill people. Currently, the federal government does not have any required testing for cle mentions that some studies have found trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals in Asia, Australia, Canada, and Europe. There are also documented health issues with wildlife that are being further investigated. It is also important to address that based on what the pharmaceutical industry knows, they justify that there is little effect on human health by these trace contaminants. While this is important news, the AP did not conduct a comprehensive, scientific study to examine the full effects of this on humans, so these discoveries cannot conclude a specific causeand-effect relationship on humans. Many scientists emphasize that research is limited on this subject matter and a lot of information is unknown.

The AP article also notes that some water providers that do screen for drugs only screen for a small number, which overlooks the prospects of other drugs. Another concern is the addition of chlorine in water can exacerbate the toxicity of drugs. Furthermore, another matter is bottled water and home filtration systems, which do not remove these impurities. Bottled water is often the same tap water repackaged and is not treated for pharmaceutical contamination. The article also explains that the only known technology to remove pharmaceutical contaminants is reverse osmosis, but the drawbacks of this procedure is its expense for mass production and it also produces large amounts of contaminated water for every small amount that is clean of pollutants. So, unless a home filiation system specifically features a reverse osmosis capability, the water may still contain harmful pharmaceutical pollutants.

Playing against an extremely talented #2 Azusa Pacific team, the Cougars surged late but could not complete the comeback. Azusa Pacific started strong scoring six runs in the first two innings, knocking out SP Steve Triolo after just 1 1/3 IP. Down 6-0, the Cougars got on the board as 3b Austin Coleman hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the 2nd, and would tack on two more in the third to be down 7-4. In the bottom of the 7th, DH Austin Way hit his second home run of the game to start the comeback, but Azusa Pacific would come right back with three runs in the top of the 8th to put them up 11-6. The game would end 11-8 in a victory for Azusa Pacific University. CSUSM does not have a football team, but by looking at the score of the second game of the week for the Cougars, some may make think otherwise. Scoring at least one run in every inning, the Cougars beat Principia 24-3 in complete domination. Principia lead the game off with two runs to take the lead. The Cougars blew the game open in the bottom of the 2nd, lead by a grand slam by 3b Coleman. Scoring eight runs in the 2nd, the Cougars were up 10-2 already. SP Chris Skaalen would pick up his second win of the year going 4 innings giving up two earned runs on four hits while striking out four. In the bottom of the fourth, Way continued his hot streak with a grand slam which was the second of the game for the Cougars. The Cougars' record improves to 11-14-1 on the season. The Cougars travel t o Point Loma today, before playing host to Bethany University this weekend.

ELáfis i t M M i Photo by Tim Moore / The Pride perfect internet streaming BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer In this vast world of technological advancement, the live streaming of sporting events is a task not to be taken lightly. It is an undertaking that requires mass amounts of bandwidth and a dedicated repair staff. Rarely is the art of making sports available to the masses done right. NCAA.com, in association with CBS has done it right. Throughout the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, NCAA.com is streaming games live and 100% free. The concept is great, and the execution is even better. The service caters primarily to those in professional environments, locked away from access to a television during one of the best times on the snorting calendar. The interface features the fabled "boss button" for the paranoid employee. The "boss button" transforms the interface into a mock-spreadsheet, instantly giving office-wandering superiors the security of productivity, or so they . think. The service also comes in handy when more than one game is in play. CBS choses what games they will show region by region. For instance* in Sunday's secoiid-round matchups, San Diego's CBS affiliate KFMB showed nearly exclusive coverage of USD's game with Western Kentucky. Near the end of the game, USD was trailing by double-digits with under 30-seconds left on the clock. The game was clearly out of reach for the Toreros, however, because of geographic restrictions KFMB aired the game to the final buzzer, which lasted around five minutes because of timeouts and fouls. During this time, #10 seed Davidson was in the process of upsetting the #2 seed Georgetown. A few clicks was all it took for viewers to have access to the Georgetown, Davidson game online. Before, accessing the online coverage, users must first log in with a CBSSports.com, CBSNews.com, CBS.com, CBSGames: com, TheShowBuzz.com, or NCAAsports.com username and password. The interface of the service is simple and responsive. A pre-roll short advertisement plays before the user's initial selection, and after that, the only additional advertisements are the normal commercial breaks. The video quality in full-screen mode is comparable to that of the television broadcast. The only drawback to the service is a buffer delay (around one minute) from the actual live game. NCAA .com and CBS have offered the services for f ree that other leagues charge premiums for. The service is giving people what they want, and it is a win-win for all parties involved. CBS is projecting advertising revenues of at least $21 million, some $10 million more than 2007's tournament. �What happens on spring break doesn't stay on spring break Wcfcr urges youth to consider sta:s BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Spring Break '08 is a home stretch away and with that comes the necessary proactive safety advice from the campus, family and friends. Many just looking to "don't worry be happy" for a week may mistake concern for annoyance, believe rules aré meant to be broken, and consider those cautious as 'square.' Warnings can only go so far—in one ear and out the other, but the truth doesn't lie. Jennifer Wider, M.D., author of The Doctor's Complete College Girls' Health Guide: From Sex to Drugs to the Freshman 15, warns college girls of the possible repercussions of activities that ensue during a stereotypical college Spring Break vacation. Alcohol, drug use, and promiscuous sexual activity can leád to sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, overdose, and serious health problems. "An American Medical Association survey of college students found that 83 percent agree that Spring Break trips involve more or heavier drinking than typical college life," says Wider, M.D. "Almost threequarters of the surveyed students acknowledged that increased sexual activity takes place on these trips—70 percent know friends who were sexually active with more than one partner on Spring Break. STDs and pregnancy are two very real risks of spontaneous sex that have lasting consequences after the trip ends." Information mentioned by Wider originated from an online survey of 644 women age 17-35 conducted from Feb. 27-March 1, 2006. Wider adds that the only 100 percent preventative measure against an STD or unplanned pregnancy is abstinence; how- it later, and be aware of surroundings at all ever, youth should prepare themselves in the time. event they do have sex during Spring Break.

A once in a lifetime opportunity The World Nomads Travel Scholarship BY ALEX H AND Pride Staff Writer There are scholarships that help pay for books and tuition.. .then there are scholarships that help pay for the experience of a lifetime. The World Nomads Travel Writing Scholarship provides the opportunity for one lucky student to have this experience. This opportunity has recently been opened up to the students at Cal State San Marcos. The scholarship will send one outstanding student to participate on an i-toi volunteer project to the tsunami-devastated region of Sri Lanka. The chosen student would spend time living in a small coastal village amongst locals of the region. The scholarship winner would also receive mentorship from Sydney Morning Herald journalist and travel writer Keith Austin throughout their stay. Among the perks is also a new Lenovo laptop the student would use to draft up their own fea- ture travel article highlighting their stay. Upon return, the student's article could be published by the Sydney Morning Herald (www.smh.com.au). If published, the story would be read by thousands of traveler's worldwide. Previously, The World Nomads Travel Writing Scholarship has sent students on various assignments in locations such as Anhem Land-Australia, Kenya and Cambodia giving away four educational scholarships to date. World Nomads is partnered with key industry leaders such as Lonely Planet and National Geographic. The "passionate about travel" organization was established in 1999. They have been offering travel insurance and travel safety services to adventurous independent travelers ever since. According to WorldNomads.com, the scholarship program is "designed to create a dynamic, experiential learning opportunity, which offers mentoring, produces exciting content and facilities partnership to publish/ Illustration by Amanda Andreen/The Pride broadcast/exhibit student's work."

How San Diego is getting overlooked BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer Have you ever heard of a movie called "Blindsight"? No. What about one called "The Band's Visit"? Still nothing? How about "Contempt"? All right, so you haven't heard of any of these movies, that's fine - neither have I, to be honest. They are only the top rated movies on www.rottentomatoes.com, so why should we have heard of them? Well that is why we should have , heard of them. If they are the most popular recently released movies - wouldn't you think they'd be in all the major cities across California? Wrong. These "popular" movies, even though they are currently dubbed the most popular movies in the nation, NONE of them have found their way down to the San Diego area. I am a big fan of going to the moyie$, and I'm an even bigger fan of road trips - but I am NOT a fan of having to go on a road trip just to see a movie, which is exactly what I'd have to do if I wanted to see these . "popular" films. Some of these movies look quite entertaining and I would absolutely love to see them, but I don't want to drive for a few hours j ust so that 1 can sit and watch a movie for 2 hours. Now, I live in Orange County - and going to La-L.A.land is a drive for me, so I completely understand how much worse it is for everyone down here in San Diego County. So I guess if we want to see "Blindsight", " The Band's Visit", "Contempt", "Jar City", or "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly", we are j ust going to have to plan a road trip. We'd have*to head up to L.A. to see most of these. For some, however, we'd have to drive all the way up to the glorious misty air of the San Francisco Bay area. But for even some others - we would have to enjoy a delightful flight all the way to good old New York City. So why aren't these " great" movies playing in our major cities? I don't know, perhaps someone should write a letter to the Motion Picture Association of America. We could say that we aren't upset. We could tell them that we are JUST DISAPPOINTED - that will zing 'em! �w on't put y ou to s leep BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer A s I w alked u p t o t he d oorman/ b ouncer and p aid my $5 t o get i n, he a sked w ho I w as t here t o s ee.

Images cmrtesyofg^apyn^com Photo by Ross Lichtman / The Pride �Pride Staff Writer Don't be fooled. A movie with the promised antics of Jack Black may sound tempting, but this is one comedy that doesn't fulfill its intended purpose. Jerry (Jack Black) is a junkyard worker who attempts to destroy an electrical plant that he believes is reading his mind. But when his plan goes sour, his magne tized body ends up erasing all the tapes in his friend Mike's (Dante 'Mos D ef Smith) video store, conveniently named Be Kind Rewind. With a store full of blank videotapes, Jerry and-Mike embark on a not-so adventurous journey to remake some of the most memorable movies of our time. The ironic idea in this disappointing movie is that some of the best and most memorable movies are being remade, which just begs you to ask yourself the question: Why aren't I watching those movies right now? Considering this is a comedy, I found myself NOT laughing 90% of the time. Don't get me wrong, the remakes that the protagonists made were amateurishly comedic, but the entire movie just failed to move the audience emotionally. The remade movies, although humorous, failed to be consistent and plentiful enough to act as a driving force in the film. While Jack Black's performance was usual Jack Black as always, Mos Def came across as a little slow and boring, and that is definitely something that comedies are not about. With somewhat bland characters and an even duller story, "Be Kind Rewind" fails to hook the audience with its scarcity of laughter. Chances are you'd be better off staying at home and listening to your Tenacious D CDs. Photos courtesy Photo courtesy Abbot Genser/New Line Cinema Stone Imperial Russian Stout BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Stone Brewery brews and bottles Stone Imperial Russian Stout in Escondido, California. The brewery originally opened in San Marcos in 1996. In 2006, the company moved to a new facility in Escondido to better meet product demand. The current facility is capable of producing of up to 250,000 barrels. Stone Brewery should be in Escondido for an extended amount of time. The brown glass bottle holds 22 fluid ^ ^ H ounces. A gargoyle wearing a ^ ^ ^ f ur cap ad or n e d with a star, no d oubt a throwback to Imperial Russia, squats holding a mug of stout. The bottle has a bright blue outline while a foggy white outlines the gargoyle. A shiny gold glazed bottle cap, featuring the company's logo in black stencil, caps a bottle with an alcohol by volume of 10.8%. The double than average AVB is characteristic of Imperial Russian Stouts, which often have ABVs of 10-11% The stout retails for $5.99 at BevMo. The stout pours chunky — a rich black liquid fills the glass. A thin head forms and disappears quickly. The stout radiates a gothic blackish-purplish color. Coffeelike aromas seep into the surrounding air. The murky stout first attacks the tongue. A subtle tingling sensation spreads throughout the taste buds. The stout gathers intensity during the peak of consumption and finishes off the rest of the oral cavity like a Jackie Chan fight scene. The stout leaves a powerful rolling wave of energy as the stout descends below. The lips smack in joy and demand more. Stone Imperial Russian Stout should be consumed leisurely in a relaxing environment to fully experience the adventure.Unwind during spring break with this week's stout. If considering the stout, visit a local BevMo quickly as the stout is scheduled to disappear after spring. Have a f un and safe spring break, Cougars! OneRepublic "Dreaming Out Loud" BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Thirteen tracks of juicy vocals and teasing guitar—OneRepublic's "Dreaming Out Loud" is sizzling. A scintillating blend of what falls easily on the ears as a mixture of The Fray, Maroon 5, Keane, and Snow Patrol, "Dreaming Out Loud", off Interscope Records, is heating up the charts and the airwaves across the nation. "Dreaming Out Loud," moved from slot 45 last week, to slot 20 this week on Billboard's Hot 200 albums. The single "Apologize" featuring Timbaland is #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, and "Stop and Stare" is up three spots to the #9 song on Billboard's Pop chart, and is also #9 on iTunes' Top 100 Songs. Not only that, but "Apologize" is the #17 most downloaded ring tone in the nation this week, falling in between "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band and "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. The album opener, "Say (All I Need)," is a scenic ballad with a techno flare, promptly followed up by "Mercy" which was most recently featured on the March 13 episode of "Smallville," along with "Apologize" and "Stop and Stare." Following "Mercy" is "Stop and Stare"—which stops me in my tracks everytime I hear it. It's that good. Then comes "Apologize," and there really isn't that much to say about this track other than it's amazing and catchy. "Goodbye Apathy" which falls directly after "Stop and Stare" and "Apologize", mirrors The Fray's sound so closely, it could most definitely be mistaken for a track like "Little House" off their last album, "How to Save A Life." Track 7, "Tyrant," brings to mind "Erlkonig" by Franz Shubert with it's pounding one note intro, and it definitely isn't the strongest track on the album, but it is apparent they were trying something different, as this track has a little more of a U2 and Bon Jovi vibe. "Prodigal" starts out slower, and leads in with creeping vocals that could be compared to Snow Patrol and Keane as the song slowly builds into a full-blown pacing rock song with a hint of the Beatles, circa "I am the Walrus" era. * "Won't Stop" has a bit more of a Nashville feel to it, with violins and percussive elements accompanied by a confident steel guitar and curious piano interludes. "Someone to Save You" and "All We Are" sound pretty much the same, except for the really lame sounding drum intro on "Someone to Save You." Except for those two tracks and "Tyrant," the rest of the album is solid, and even though the "Timbaland featuring OneRepublic" version of "Apologize" rocks, I have no doubt they could have made it to the top without his help.

XIX NO. 9 Spring Fling halted early Night under the stars takes terrible turn ASI Elections coming soon BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer BY BILLRHEIN Pride Staff Writer Sat. March 15—Spring Fling, the Associated Student Incorporated sponsored event, was cut short after a guest in attendance jumped overboard. The dance, held on the San Diego Harbor Excursions "Spirit Of San Diego" yacht, began late due to a lack of cooperation from many guests in attendance. As the entrance room to board the boat crowded, secu? rity asked guests to separate in two lines: under 21 and over 21. Guests became restless the longer they had to wait. Visibly intoxicated students boarded the yacht, while one guest even vomited on several students. Once students settled on the yacht, they visited the casino tables or the dance floor. However, roughly forty-five minutes after the yacht departed, casino dealers closed their tables and security informed students the dance was over. None of the intended raffle prizes were distributed.'The yacht docked at least an hour and a half earlier, even though the original end-time for the event was 12 a.m. "I am ashamed of our school As Americans contemplate who will be the next leader of our nations, CSUSM students also must pick the new leader of the campus in the ASI elections. According to Student Life and Leadership, the department that facilitates the elections, students will again *be able to vote online. Students can cast electronic ballots on the election days, March 24-27. This year, all positions of the ASI Board are open. These include ASI President and CEO, Vice President of Operations, Vice President of Marketing, Vice President of Finance, Student at Large Representative, and Representatives from the College of A rts and Science, College of Business and Administration, and College of Education.

"I could not believe they allowed people under 21 that were visibly drunk— couldn't even walk-^-on the boat. I even saw two people having sex in the middle of the poker room, next to. the dealer. The security guards came and I heard them say, 'This tìiing is over. Everybody needs to start moving to the front. Somebody just jumped off and we're going back to shore."' See Fling, Page 4 Pizza and Politics Food for thought: Healthcare Strieker provides related articles for students to read beforehand to stimulate discussion during the event. The first article, "Arguments Mount for a National Healthcare System" by David R. Francis, discusses the health care system and the promises made by presidential hopefuls. The second article, "Coming Soon: Healthcare Debate, Fart 2" by Kevin Sack, discusses McCain's aim for tax credits for private insurance policies, Clinton's aim for universal healthcare, and Obama's aim for health insurance for children.

Safer Spring Break Week See Elections, Page 4 Dream Act forum BY VIRIDIANA PACHECOISACC Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos Sociology professor Dr. Marisol ClarkIbanez knows a special second grader, and it breaks her heart. This student, she said, studies hard, is smart and will often challenge herself to study harder ~ the prototype student that often excels in her educational career. The circumstances, however, are against her. This second grader is among the millions across the country who are illegally brought to the United States by their parents— often becoming Americanized— only to grow up t o fund their opportunities are cut shod upon high school graduation. CSUSM migrant advocate group Esiritu de Nuestro Futuro (Spirit of our Future) held a forum March 13 to bring awareness to SB 160 or the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, a legislature that would grant undocumented students who continue on to college the opportunity to apply for legal U.S. residence. The legislation has been reintroduced into the ^ Senate See Forum, gage 4 �i tiE^PjugE E d i t o r i a l ; ¡|Hvms ¡HIB I ill T oria S V V AB Getting involved isn't the easiest thing to do. It is definitely not the easiest thing to get people to do. As diverse as the college camgus may be, we all speak the same language when it comes to our money. Like it or not, with current proposals in place, each and every member of the campus community will see how these budget cuts personally affect them. Increased prices of parking permits will soon be the least of our worries. While the increased permit fees will go to use—in theory, the increase in tuition fees only serve to alleviate the cuts to the CSU system. According to Budget Options for student to get involved Central, CSUSM gets 85% of its revenue from State of California appropriation and State University fees. That same source mentions that the University Budget Committee (UBC) is in charge of deciding how CSUSM will allocate reductions. Each of the five campus divisions (President's Office, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, University Advancement, and Finance and Administrative Services) have been asked to take an 8.15% reduction from their fiscal year 2007-08 permanent revenue. As luck would have it, the state finalizes the proposed cuts during summer break. Although the Governor has to touch up his proposal in May and the finance committees have until June 1 to finalize a bill, similar situations rarely render results by the appointed deadline. If that is the case, we may not know for certain what the final budget is until early fall. The issue is not what is going on but whether anything can be done to change it. The overwhelming majority on campus agrees that this situation is awful. What does this all mean? What can I do about it? Where can I find out more? Visit www.allianceforthecsu. org and www.csusm.edu/plan/ budgetcentral for anything and everything you need to know. Candidates of the presidential primaries have sold promises of change as a theme for the campaign trail. If change is, in fact, the answer—it has to begin at the grassroots. CSU may be the solution but students are the driving force of that solution. Instead of putting the issue on the back burner until fall (when it will be too late to contest it), students need to infiltrate in full force— volunteering, making phone calls, sending letters. .. .by any means necessary. ry W V v peti ars PrideComics ILL T pride@csusm.edu III H ä ^s By Amanda Andreen • By Nick Strizver ISlCNtfWOft > < 8:30 pm A ll opimom * a nd l etters t o Tnv^sJ« -f ù w ¿fa ACs\ *.•"> é i ¡¡Mil QT mm.

I can take no more. Your incompetence has haunted me since I was a small child, and today, we settle this once and for all. There was no higher treat as a tiny person than your own box of delicious and educational animal crackers. It was like an edible National Geographic special. They also contained significantly less false advertising than those frosted circus animals (At the age of 5, I went to the circus expecting to see pink-spotted deliciousness and instead got a bunch of depressed elephants.) After years of eating your product though, I can no longer eat or sleep until I bring a problem to your attention. With every box I open, I should be able to start an entire zoo on my tabletop. Yet, as with a classic example from a box consumed on March 17,2008,1 got five sheep and only half of a hippo's hind end. To be perfectly honest, cracker people, I am no shepherd. Nor would I take anyone to a zoo that had five sheep, a couple camels, a hippo's bum, and only the trunk of an elephant. I have a walrus without a head. What do you expect me to do? Call Ripley's Believe It or Not? Open a sideshow? SETTLE FOR LESS THAN I DESERVE?!? In addition, I've had an extremely tough week. I understand that divine healing, funeral arrangements and hair straightening probably don't fall under your company's jurisdiction, but I really don't know how I'm expected to accomplish or support any of those things when all I have is one left side of a rhinoceros. Perhaps it isn't your fault as employees of the Cracker Zoological Foundation. Perhaps these are all accidents that happen during shipping. But I beg you, please consider taking a more proactive approach. If these "accidents" all happen during transit, then there is veritable massacre taking place between your holding pens and the supermarkets of this country. As responsible entrepreneurs, I would advise you to consider other methods for moving your animals. Perhaps if you put them in breathable crates, with each animal surrounded by its own silk pillows, I wouldn't have just the tail and a single rear leg of a donkey. Illustration by Amanda Andreen you re not i nt e n tionally trying to upset me, and I'm aware that no problem can be resolved until it is brought to a company's attention. But now that you know, please, I beg of you, take the necessary steps so that I, and the good people of this nation, never have to settle for headless lions again.

The next and final Pizza and Politics for this semester takes place on April 22, Earth Day, in Markstein Hall 102 during University Hour. Professor Bray will lead a discussion on the environment. A trend shows increasing attendance. Therefore, attendees should arrive as early as possible. "Maybe I would like to see Pizza and Politics as a permanent function. I think it would be interesting and effective with a few revisions," said Sophomore Social Science Major Gabriella Pruitt. Future topics for next semester include poverty and the economy, immigration, and the 2008 Presidential Election. ADP also plans to co-sponsor mock debates for students. "If you have a chance, you really should make it to one of these meetings. They are very informational, and it is not useless information. It is stuff about our lives. So at least attending one would be beneficial to each of us, I think," said Senior Literature and Writing Major Adam Lowe. Disappointed guests departed for their cars while many others waited for the Party Bus to return. "The Titanic was less of a disaster. It was basically pure insanity. Tons of drunk minors.

This isn't the case with Sandra Doller, who last month read at the San Diego Museum of Art. As an accomplished author and poet, she is an assistant professor at CSUSM. In April, Professor Doller is reading at Chapman University and hosts a monthly reading series in San Diego. She is the editor of 1913 press and she sits down in an interview to discuss performing, writing, and the next president of the United States. The Pride: So, the first thing I want to ask is what are you currently reading? Sandra Doller: Mostly I an} spending my time reading student writing from my Advanced Creative Writing graduate class. Last week, we read Joe Wenderoth's Letters to Wendy's, which are actually letters to the fast food chain in the form of prose poems but actually build up to kind of a novel. Pride: How did you come to work on poetry? Doller: I didn't do creative writing as an undergrad. I was in theater and did performance art and playwriting which has connections to poetry and I see that now. I did cinema studies for my MFA at the University of Chicago, and t hat's when I really became interested in connections to early 20th century poetry and other art forms like painting and cinema. Pride: That's how art just seems to work out, isn't it? Doller: I think so. I was writing these performance pieces as an undergrad and I was j ust doing it on the side before I even took a creative writing class. I thought I was writing stories, but then someone told me they were prose poems. Pride: Do you have.a favorite poet right now? Doller: Fanny Howe. Anytime I can see Fanny read, I will go. I also enjoy Danzy Senna, who is also a really Tuesday 3/18 -af^e^lmance wonder novelist. Pride: What can you tell people about 19131 * Doller: I founded 1913 while I was a grad student doing my MFA at University of Iowa writers' workshop. I got into my head and thought, hey, wouldn't it be great t o have a journal that publishes contemporary poetry, fiction and non-fiction essays * and visual art. Pride: (flipping through the book) There's a lot of "visual poem" type of art. Doller: Exactly, and that's something that I'm really interested in. I applied for a grant in Iowa and that's how I was able to do this. And since then, it has been a labor of love that can be a great resource for students and something that I'm interested in sharing with CSUSM students and bring them to get involved with the editing and layout and all the things that go into making a magazine. Pride: Do students have the opportunity to work with you and 1913 at this time? Doller: Absolutely. I have a list and I'm constantly collecting names of students who are interested in participating. A couple of students, who I 'll call volunteer interns, went with me to, San Diego City College in October for a book fair there and we had a table and sold a few copies. The point is to get literature and art out into the world and I'm definitely interested in getting students on that. Pride: Now, you already have one book out, Oriflamme. I hear you've also got one on the way? Doller: I do, and it's called Chora. It'p a book of poems mostly and nonfiction prose poems and things that cross genres. That should be coming out soon. Pride: Last month, you read at San Diego Museum of Art. Tell me, what it was like reading not only in front of other artists, but also a number of your students as well? Doller: (laughing) I liked that part of it actually and felt more comfortable because I see the students more often that I see anybody else! I was really glad that Cal State students got to see the event and got to see Fanny read as well. I thought I'd be more nervous having students there, but it felt really friendly. * Pride: So, as kind of a break Reception m Freedom Marry A cryfc^t'QahvaaB(s^|^||^/ement gjlp^^ nfc*htohlv.Ftee W ednesday3/i9 refreshments • 7 Ä a . m , Craven Circle » . 1 1p¡¡¡J' | § , 3 :00-f:CPp.rri.

Of special note is CSUSM Extended Learning program, which is not exclusive to students, but is open to the community as well. Extended Learning features many educational courses that can tailor to one's academic, professional, or personal interests. Extending Learning [formerly known as Extended Studies] is in fact part of the university. The Extended Learning program contributes greatly to both the university and the community by providing leadership programs, online courses, continuing education studies, and ",workshops." In partietffar, two of the leadership programs that Extended Learning offers are Leadership North County and, most recently. Leadership Quest. Leadership North County prepares developing leaders to be strong, visionary, and familiar with issues impacting communities in San Diego's North County. Leadership North County begins every year in September and carries through June. Leadership Quest is the new addition to Extended Learning's services and begins its first term on March 25,2008. Leadership Quest is designed to help aspiring leaders to discover their personal leadetship style, develop skills that are inherent in strong community leaders, and create a strong foundation for future leadership paths. Leadership Quest differentiates itself from Leadership North County by that it is aimed for the young, "budding" professional leader to find and develop a leadership style. Leadership North County appeals to those who might have more experience with leadership and exposes them to significant issues in North County. Both of these programs are valuable assets to students and community members who want to learn and grew to be more effective leaders. Another part of Extending Learning is the eLearning Center, which offers a comprehensive selection of credit, noncredit, and certificates that are available online. The eLearning Center's selection of classes is quite large— there are over 5,000 classes to choose from with prices varying course by course. These online courses encom- pass many areas including business, education, finance, healthcare, insurance, languages, personal enrichment, service and hospitality, and technology. After completion of the course, one receives proof of completion with a certificate of completion. Depending on the student's needs, one can choose courses that offer credit, noncredit, or a certificate. Additionally, the continuing education option is a useful feature of the eLearning Center. It is very common arid mandatory for professionals to continue and update their education within their career field. The eLearning Center is a great resource to fulfill those requirements and provides of variety of courses that apply to many careers. The Online Certificate Program is available year-round. Open University is another program from Extended Learning open to the community, but some restrictions can apply to currently admitted CSUSM students. Through Open University, one can access main-campus classes that count toward "resident" credit. Open University provides the means to take CSUSM credit courses without being admitted to the university and the courses taken can be applied toward degree credit. This is a helpful program, especially if one missed the main-campus university application deadline. As well as the other programs mentioned, Extended Learning offers developmental teaching workshops that can be completed online or on campus, depending on the course. Extended Learning's Teacher Education programs are designed to create distinct professional developmental opportunities for educators in North San Diego region. CSUSM's Extended Learning is an extensive institution offering many academic and professional resources for students and the community. Extended Learning serves nearly 7,000 individuals a year and is becoming well known for the programs it offers.

M&M brand capitalizes on seductive myth BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Pledging to help the earth and the economy BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer In the U.S. and in many areas of the world consumerism has become one of the main topics discussed. As people become more environmentally aware they also become aware of solutions to growing environmental problems such as waste and pollution. Many of which can be linked to consumerism. But what may be "desirable" economically may not be "desirable" environmentally. In a study held by the U.N., known as the Human Development Report, it was said that "Today's consumption is undermining the environmental resource base. It is exacerbating inequalities. And the dynamics of the consumption-poverty-inequality-environment nexus are accelerating. If the trends continue without change — not redistributing from high-income to low-income consumers, not shifting from polluting to cleaner and production technolgies, not promoting goods that empower poor producers, not shifting priority from consumption for conspicuous display to meeting basic needs — today's problems of consumption and human development will worsen." The study also reveals that the U.S. and Illustration by Nick Strizver Europe alone spend billions of dollars on products, many of which we do not need. According to the study, U.S. Citizens have spent nearly eight billion dollars on cosmetics alone and Europe has spent nearly 11 billion dollars on Ice Cream. Anup Shah, a writer for globalissues.org, said, "Because consumption is so .central to many economies, and even to the current forms of globalization, its effects therefore are also seen around the world. How we consume, and for what purposes drives how we extract resources, create products and produce pollution and waste. Issues relating to consumption hence also affect environmental degradation, poverty, hunger, and even the rise in obesity that is nearing levels similar to the "official" global poverty levels." One solution for the growing amount of consumption is known as "The Compact." "The Compact" is a growing movement. Those involved pledge to not buy anything new for a year. This means no new clothes, new cars, new anything. Only the bare essentials like food and water can be "new." People who take the pledge try to find used products either online or in local t hrift shops. Kara McGuire, a reporter for The Star Tribune said, "The Compact, started by a group of San Francisco friends as a rebellion against what they see as gluttonous consumerism and its thoughtless destruction of the environment, turn the notion of consumerism on its head." So what exactly is involved in becoming part of The Compact? Those who wish to be part of The Compact don't have to sign any papers or join any online group, although one could if one wanted to, but all a member would have to do is pledge to themselves that they will not buy anything* new for a year and resist the lure of consumerism. Members must not buy anything new other than the exceptions of medicine, underwear, cleaning products, and no limits on food. One of the founders John P e r t y said, "We never meant to start a movement." From just a few friends discussing a better way to live came a movement that now involves more than 8,700 members of online user groups today, according to Star Tribune and TreeHugger.com. There are 50 user groups on yahoo from Thailand to Australia and other sites such as feedthepig.org that also help people budget better and learn how to better spend money in areas where it is needed. Sites like TreeHugger.com have many suggestions as to how to be more environmentally aware as well as how one can help the environment personally. "What is it about the Green ones?" Even though Valentine's Day has come and gone, there is still the opportunity to feel as though you're sitting on cloud nine.. .allegedly. According to varying rumors spread through word of mouth as well as the Internet, it is believed that green M&M's will increase sexual drive. Mars Company owner of the M&M's brand, has gladly capitalized on the allegation. Although there is question as to where the rumor came about, there is no question about a Mars Co.'s campaign m ad to support this J | j apparent myth. , J flj With the increased ¿ f£|ji sales of these par¿F ticularly colored ¿Maw candies here oncampus as well as other stores, popularity for -the new romantic color has increased. But what makes the green M&M's the color of romance? Quotirig the delicious package of green M&M's that this reporter just finished eating: "What is it about the green ones?" One would think that red would be more likely color to represent romance as opposed to an earthy color like green. With an important notice on the back of every package of green M&M's, Mars Co. has warned that "consumption of The Green Ones® may' result in elevated Romance Levels." Along with the "warning," the green M&M's sexualized message is backed by the only female M&M in the bunch.. .yes, the Green one. Even though the green color is said to make one feel like they're in lqve, in actuality, all the colors have the properties to help you feel the warm & fuzzies. The color isn't the culprit—it is ^ the chocolate. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, which is known to increase sexual desire. The word "aphrodisiac" is derived from the Greek Goddess Aphrodite (goddess of love and lust). But even though every color of these delicious candies has the properties to help increase that libido, the point is that myths like these are f un and refreshing. It may not necessarily be true that the "green ones" increase sexjual desire, but then again, there is no one out there saying that they do not. Whether or not people believe this myth to be true, it definitely doesn't hurt to experiment and find out, especially if the experiment involves delicious hard-shelled candy and the potential of fantastic feelings. Green, red, or blue M&M's—^whatever the color of choice—they definitely put a new spin on the phrase "melts in your mouth, not in your hand." �Cougar Baseball devours La Sierra See full story on page 9 Photos by Tim Moore Pitcher Chris Skaaien works his way to a winning outing in game one of the Sunday doubleheader Cougars first baseman Jackson Chapelone attempts to pick off a La Sierra runner. ••aiiiiiiiiiiiaI•••••••••••••• Flag Football ends with a bang Two players from the SAE Raiders go up for an interception in the Championship game of ASI Flag Football season.

On May 3 at 5pm, runners will make their way around the school campus in celebration of the end of the school year in the Diploma Dash. Students and runners can register online at the Athletic department's website. Early registration is $25, while it is $35 the day of the race. According to the Athletic department, all proceeds will go toward student-athlete scholarships. Rather than an early morning race, the department set the race time for 5 p.m. to avoid the heat and accommodate student's study time. This historic event in the school history will also include shirts commemorating the first annual race, awards per age group, and post race festivities to meet student-athletes and coaches. After a year of class work, the Athletic department says this is way to celebrate the end of the school year and the graduates.

You'll see Vanderbilt get hot from the outside and beat Kansas while Wisconsin does the same and takes care of Georgetown. On the other side of the bracket we will watch Pittsburgh play a physical game with Memphis and take it in the final seconds while Texas finds a way to control the Lopez twins and sneak by Stanford. The West region will see UCLA pounce on Connecticut and then Duke walking over Baylor. Then in the elite eight, Tennessee will find a way to control the overrated Tyler Hansbrough to advance to face Wisconsin who will continue to find ways to control the tempo of the game. While Texas will take care of business in the South region and UCLA will find a way to reach the Final Four for the third year in a row. The Championship game will then be a match up between UCLA and Tennessee, which was is what I believed from preseason. UCLA will control the game and beat Tennessee 71-65 and finally give coach, Ben Holland, what he and his players have been working so hard for.

Susanne Bier, the unaccredited director, slightly broke the rule concerning the prohibiting of spectacular events when she put a car accident in this movie. However, this incident is crucial to the film and is the moment that shakes the viewer. Lead character, Joachim, j ust proposed to his girlfriend and is prepared for an exciting vacation with his friends when a car strikes him. Though the audience sees it coming, a wonderful movie, but the car crash that links the events is spectacularly raw. It opens following Gael Garcia Bernal's character as he is trying to get his dog to the hospital. For the sake of not spoiling the film, I will not reveal more. However, the coming crash jolts viewers. It comes come out of nowhere and can cause those watching to shout "Oi! " because it is so vicious. It is p ainful to watch, but it is not predictable and happens so realistically that the movie forcefully draws in viewers. This is a perfect example of what a car crash should be like. The next a rtful car crash comes from the Danish film "Elsker dig for evigt, which translates to " Open BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer R ecently in films, there is a loss of skills when it comes to p ortraying a car crash. No longer do filmmakers use this device in an a rtful way. In current US films, crashes involve expensive vehicles slamming into each other in ways that create a disproportionate amount of flames and explosives, such as in " XXX" and "The Fast and the Furious." There was once a time in Hollywood where the vehicle meant something. Films such as "Bullitt" and "The French Connection" respected cars and created exciting chases. Nowadays, cars simply slam into each other and blow up or have giant robots run right through them. Even a movie titled "Crash" did not have exciting car accidents. Based on a number of movies and their accidents, foreign filmmakers are superior in this skill. The first example comes from the year 2000 in Alejandro González Iñárritu's film "Amores Perros." The story is broken into three arcs all surrounding a horrific car accident.

Though the characters experience inexplicable pain, Tykwer provides footage that makes viewers feel as if a truck has bit them. The result is a bloody mess with the ensuing silence that perfectly shows the art of a car crash. Hollywood and American filmmakers could learn a thing or two about filming a car accident from these foreign works of art. Hearts."

The car brutally runs over him and pastes him to the road. Hollywood should follow this example when showing a person get hit by a car. German director, Tom Tykwer, has directed a pair of films that feature cruel depictions of car accidents. They are "Lola Rennt," from 1998, and "Der Krieger und die Kaiserin," from 2000, which translate to "Run Lola Run" and "The Princess and the Warrior," respectively.

BY ADAM LOWE Pride Staff Writer �A rHE PRIDE O C l^t Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Rick Ross From America's Highways to a 'Road Trip Nation' BY JON THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer It all began in 2001 with three guys who jUst graduated college and found themselves frustrated with the output of their education and not quite ready to jump into the real world. So they bought a recreational vehicle, maxed out their credit cards, started traveling and talking to people. The outcome is Road Trip Nation (RTN.) Years later, still going strong, RTN representatives found their way to CSUSM recruiting for their upcoming New Zealand road trip. "We often find even the most successful people don't know what they want from life. Going on these trips and talking to people you realize very quickly, you are not alone. ( • J f l h ^ Other people are lost too ^Hp and we're here to help ^ ¡ ^ ^ ^ K them explore. I've J P ^ ^ H E l ! found the people ^ ¡ j j l ^ ^ ^ E u r who are lost may member Daniel Sydlik. Think being out on the open road is what you need to help you figure it all out? Is there anyone out there in the world you want to talk to - someone who has inspired you that you would like to meet? RTN provides the chance to do just that. Through one of their RV road trips with a group, or an "indie trip" with a few friends, RTN is here to help get you out there. Kelli Taylor, another member of RTN, explains "The more you think you know the less sure about it all you may be. RTN is about having genuine experiences in the world and sharing them." More information, applications and FAQs for various trips and grants are available through RoadTripNation.com. Conditions do apply, students should take care to evaluate what grants are available and what is required of them to obtain funding. Be aware that grants are paid at the completion of your trip.

With his sophomore album Trilla releasing last Tuesday, people were curious if it would live up to the enormous hype. Others wondered if he could even create another record to top his massive smash hit "Hustlin"' which was released back in 2006. Although I believe that no track on this album compares to the sensation you get when you still sometimes hear "Hustlin"' on the radio, it does not mean Rick Ross doesn't bring his "A" game this time around. With his deep bass voice combined with even deeper and tremendous beats, this is an album you buy so you can ride around in your car and bump your sub-woofers to their mass potential. Throughout Trilla, some songs will probably not stick out a whole lot the first couple of times you listen to them. Others will immediately catch your ears and hook you in as new favorites. Songs such as "Luxury Tax," "Reppin My City," and "The Bos?" are ones that will most likely be loved from the moment you hear the first beat. Another great thing that Rick Ross has going for him are the insane collaborations that he has on many of his tracks. Rick Ross features appearances come from artists such as Jay-Z, T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Brisco, Trick Daddy, and more. Although all of these artists have amazing tracks on this album, the most memorable collaboration on Trilla goes to New Orleans rapper LiP Wayne. His guest appearance on the track "Luxury Tax" is, by far, one of the best moments on the album. Overall, Trilla is a star-studded action packed album that will most likely be bumping through speakers for years to come.

Bubbles of jubilee rise to the top in a constant fashion. The beer enters the mouth calmly. After a split second, a light tingling sensation spreads throughout different parts of the mouth. The beer leaves a pleasant,hopinfused residue on the tongue. The beer resembles the qualities of American macro brews such as Budweiser.

From what I saw while eating there, it is the perfect type of restaurant for everyone. It is a great place to bring the family, fancy enough to bring a date, and hip enough for young adults to mingle at the bar. From the moment you step foot into Poseidon, you notice the chic bar and eating tables that surround you. One option of dining is to have your party eat around a huge stone fire pit in the middle of the table. The environment was very impressive and it gave the impression that you were eating at a very expensive five star restaurant. Although most meals were a little expensive, it was well worth the price. Entrees ranged from delicious seafood to many different variations of succulent chicken and pork chops. When dining you have the choices of eating inside, at the bar, or outside. One of the great perks about eating outside is the fact that you are literally feet away from the beautiful shores of the Del Mar beaches. This is especially nice if you are eating during the sunset because it is truly a great way to spend a meal. The nice thing about the inside is that it is a lot warmer and the atmosphere is very nice. The bar is a great way to spend the evening drinking with your friends and even meeting new ones. No matter where you sit, the service is excellent and the food is even better. Top your dinner off with one of their signature desserts and you will have had a perfect dinner experience that you will never forget. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The newest element of N orth County Transit District (NCTD), the Sprinter provides alternative transportation solutions for an increasingly congested North County. Cal State San Marcos students and North County residents alike were quick to capitalize on the new light rail system, t urning out in droves throughout the Sprinters inaugural day. Sarah Benson, a NCTD representative, reports that the Sprinter transported a staggering 12,950 passengers Photo by Ben Rojfee / The Pride along its 22-mile track in its opening d ay alone, averaging Students and nearby residents exit at the Sprinter at the 350 passengers per train. .,.

Despite the delays, Benson said, "Passengers were thrilled and excited t o b e a p art of the Sprinter's first day of service. Everyone was patient and the day was a big success." While many were simply along for the ride, passengers like CSUSM student and Vista resident Louie Vela were there t o gauge the t iming of t his new light rail system. "It took me about 25 minutes t o get f rom my house to here," said Vela, exiting at the CSUSM station near the University Village Apartments.

In an effort to provide affordability, the university announced they will provide a tuition break for students whose parents' annual income is less than $100,000. Also, families that make less than $60,000 per year will not be expected to pay for boarding and most other expenses. Stanford's annual tuition costs $34,800, and next fall, will rise to $36,030.

On Feb. 27, Evangelist, Brother Jed and his wife Sister Cindy (Mrs. Brother Jed), invaded the CSUSM campus and gave a modern twist to what might resemble the Great Awakening - the good old fire and brimstone days. Mr. and Mrs. Brother Jed reduced themselves to nothing but adolescent school children when they started singling out students and calling them "lesbians" based on their attire. Female students were deemed "whores" while male students were called "whoremongers." Their "sermon" served more as a comedy hour while students gathered around to retort their outrageous and invalid claims. Brother Jed and his wife's harrowing remarks and messages of religious intolerance do not encourage substantial discussions — like the ones facilitated in our classrooms— but rather, a spectacle where hateful speech is met with angry replies. The pair distastefully provoked the crowd by using cheap and petty remarks to generate attention. Luckily, members of InterVarsity, CSUSM's Christian com- munity, serve as the antithesis to Brother Jed's intolerant and bigoted message. Last Tuesday, the group aimed to counteract the negative impression of Christians left by Brother Jed and Co. While individuals like Brother Jed and his wife come and go on our campus, InterVarsity's message of tolerance should serve as a constant reflection of our Christian community here at CSUSM.

A fter a long trip alone from Mississippi to Green Bay, Wisconsin, a teary eyed Brett Favre held a press conference letting the world know his career is over. So to celebrate the end of John Maddens love affair with Favre and the end of Favre's career, here are the top five Brett Favre accomplishments. 5. The Beginning The first game he played was in an Atlanta Falcons uniform. His first pass as a Falcon was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. A year later, Favre entered the game off the bench and saw his first completion in a Green Bay Packers uniform get deflected and completed by himself for a seven yard loss. 4. 253 Consecutive Regular Season Starts A fter replacing the injured Don Majkowski during the game in week three, Favre started week four and wouldn't relinquish the spot. Favre would become the all-time leader for consecutive games started by a quarterback and second all-time in the NFL behind defensive end Jim Marshall. This accomplishment can go down as one of the greatest records of all time in a position that is constantly being pounded by 300 plus lineman. 3. Passing Marino A fter throwing a 57-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings against the San Diego Chargers to tie Dan Marino's all time touchdown record. The following week, Favre rocketed pass Marino when he hit Jennings on a 16-yard slant pass. «He finishes his career with 442 touchdown passes. Similar to Barry Bonds holding the all time home run record until Alex Rodriquez passes him up. Favre seems to be holding this record and others until Peyton Manning (306) can pass him up. 2. In Memory of Irv Favre On December 21, 2003, Favre's father died of a heart attack while driving his truck. The next day on Monday Night Football, Favre would keep the Packers playoff hopes alive when he would play one of the best games of his career. Favre threw for 399 yards and f our touchdowns, in a 42-7 victory over the Oakland Raiders. They would get even more help the following week when the Arizona Cardinals would upset the Minnesota Vikings and the Packers would reach t he playoffs. 1. Super Bowl XXXI Favre would help lead the Packers pass the New England Patriots 35-21. On the second play of the game, Favre senses a blitz and calls for an audible and then hits Andre Rison for a 54-yard touchdown pass. Favre trailing for the first time saw strong safety Lawyer Miller covering Antonio Freeman at the line of scrimmage and Favre would .hit Freeman for an 81-yard touchdown pass. Then to end the half, Favre ran a bootleg left and place the ball over the goal line as he was headed out of bounds. Favre wouldn't walk away with the MVP as his teammate Desmond Howard set Super Bowl records with a 99-yard kickoff return and 244 total net yards. The NFL lost the last quarterback of a great generation of quarterbacks such as Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Dan Marino and John Elway. And Favre has a lot to look forward to in retirement like Young, Aikman, Marino and Elway have, including becoming a first ballot hall of famer.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Life BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer A lot of people say that I don't take things seriously enough. They say that I laugh at things that shouldn't cause laughter. They're right, and today was no exception. They found my uncle dead. But death cannot conquer the humor of my family. Why cry? It's natural to mourn, I know, but.. .he's not rotting in the ground. In my belief system, which you may or may not agree with, he's gone upstairs, where there's no cold or hunger and the party never ends. It's not the end. It's just a change of address. This got me thinking about a lot of things. Perhaps you think about them too. You think, "My backpack is too damn heavy." Or maybe, "I wish the weather would make up its mind." Something along the lines of, "I hope that jerk behind me in traffic dies a long, slow death," or maybe, "If my mom calls and yells one more time, I'm going to tell her where to stick i t" Life's too short, people, too short. I complain in this column because it can be funny, because people can relate. We all have the same worries and trials sometimes. But if we all lived a little more like my uncle, we'd all be a hell of a lot happier, and we'd h e having a party right here, right, now. Here are the tips he had for me, when I was smart enough to listen. 1. Do something you love everyday. He loved books, and probably read one everyday. That may be a little extreme, but so what? H | _ JJ1 He encouraged •BIB me in whatever ^ M B ^ ^ M r ^- / i I liked. So, put E F"' v H L j your homework t w% down and throw your cell phone out the window. Go do something that makes you happy. 2. Don't worry about a hair in your food. Hair is protein. I always took this to be a little deeper though. People die alone and starving every day. So, there's a single hair in your food. Who gives a crap? Refocus your priorities, before you end up a spoiled brat. 3. Love your neighbor. You know what? That doesn't mean your neighbor is going to be your best friend. You might not like his loud parties, big-haired wife, or vicious Chihuahua. But if you can do anything to help him, don't turn your back. And it really does come around. Always. 4. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do next week. My uncle procrastinated until the very end, and I hope that in some ways, I do too. If your options are to stay here and be a responsible citizen or run off the Bahamas for who knows how long, I hope you chose wisely. Never be ashamed to be the one crying at a funeral. But never be ashamed to not be crying at a funeral. I won't be crying. I 'll be wearing my dancing shoes, because that's what he would have wanted. oice W hat d o y ou t h i n k t he b est r esources a re o n c ampus f or n ew s tudents?

However, CNN reports that McCain expresses nothing but gratitude for the support. face serious financial pressures, and we are doing all we can to assist them," said Stanford University President John Hennessy in a written statement. Diversity and economic opportunity are priority in Stanford's announcement. "If we want to increase the benefit each student receives from the diversity of a school's student body, we need to find ways to pull different people together — not by forcing interaction, but by providing enough pull to balance the natural push for people with common backgrounds to congregate together,"said Stanford columnist Kai Stinchcombe. The average annual income of families in Stanford is $120,000, according to San Jose Mercury News. About one-third of the university's population comes from low- to middle-income families and will be eligible for the free tuition and board this upcoming year. Of course the trick here is being accepted, as Stanford is renowned for its degree of difficulty of accepting only the top-of-the-tier students. The news of the university's program also provides a message concerning the annual tuition increase here in the state. Over each of the past six years, there have been increases in tuition at California public schools, such as the CSU and UC schools. Last fall, fees at CSU schools rose about 10 percent and are expected to rise another 10 percent next year. From PRIMARY, page From TUITION, page 1 $10,808 to $11,182, totaling a 3.5 percent increase. Yale, Harvard, and Princeton are among the elite schools that have already provided free tuition. Stanford becomes the first major west-coast university to follow that trend. Economically this provides students an added value to attend Stanford over other west-coast schools, like USC or USD. Stanford is located in Palo Alto, California. According to the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, Palo Alto is the nation's most expensive college town, so the motive behind the break is economically driven to fit their needs.

Raising the roof at The Clarke THE New ASI leisure courses free to students BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer Some people go through his/her entire college career without realizing that there are some pretty cool perks that Cal State San Marcos offers on campus. One of those perks is the ASI Leisure Courses that are offered at the Clark Field House. These courses are free for any student that is currently attending our school and those who aren't current students only have to pay a small fee. There are a range of courses that are offered, and each one offers its own unique way of entertaining students while teaching them the basics of the course in a fun and helpful way. Some of the classes that are offered are Ashtanga Yoga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and even line-dancing. Many of the classes are upbeat and active, which require the students to physically participate during each class session. Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient discipline that helps strengthen the body and focus the mind. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches students the act of self-defense and also helps with relieving daily stress. The line-dancing course that is offered teaches students how to do dozens of line dances for a variety of music. Other classes, such as Pilates and Cooking Seminars, require a little less physical activity and are for students that don't always like to break a sweat. Pilates offers a chance to improve posture, balance, and create an overall healthier body. Cooking Seminars teach students to be able to cook fresh and exciting dishes that they will soon be able to cook in their own homes. Jaimie Schrader, a CSUSM student who works at the Clark Field House, said "the ASI Leisure Courses are a great thing that our school does for us. It gives students a chance to break away from their normally chaotic academic classes and take classes that are more fun and laid back for the average student." College life can be very hectic and some students might get a little overwhelmed at times, but if they have yoga or pilates classes to attend sometime during the day, it can help them relax and focus a lot more. Overall, the ASI Leisure Courses are a great way for students to take part in f un and helpful classes that are offered on campus. Even if you don't feel the need to take time out of your day for a relaxing or entertaining class, it is still an enjoyable way to learn new things that aren't usually taught in our every day academic classes. For more information and a schedule of the weekly ASI Leisure Courses, please see the weekly student calendar online.

Spring Break '07: CSUSM students enjoying time off from classes in Mexico BY ALEX H AND Pride Staff Writer It's that time of the year again! The time when bikinis are in and backpacks are out. It's a time when college students around the nation flock to the beaches in hopes of forgetting everything they had to learn for that midterm the previous week. College Spring Break, originally made famous by MTV, usually has students letting go of all ambitions for a week of f un in the sun. Others use the time to make a difference, volunteering their time to serve the community. Whatever it is, it's not too late to make some last minute spring break plans. Another viable option, especially for the student population of Southern California is going south of the boarder for some spring break madness in Mexico.

Since then, there have been issues of "narcotics-related violence" but have not targeted U.S. citizens.

While the decision to continue on to graduate school following a bachelor's degree is decreasingly becoming a luxury and more of a necessity in today's j ob market, alternative options are out there that may prove as more of a personally rewarding experience. Teaching English overseas is j ust one opportunity students out of college can experience. There are many programs established currently that train students with the skills necessary t o teach English in another country. Oxford Seminars is one example. Est a b lished in 1992, the program not only prepares students with an u p to date Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages/Foreign . Languages (TESOL/TEFL) training certification course, but also pledge stu dent placement within six months a fter completing certification with a Money Back Guarantee. The course is offered at college campuses all across the United States and Canada. On Tue. April 29, Oxford Seminars will hold an information session at the University of San Diego at 7 p.m. The closest campus to hold certification courses is currently the University of San Diego. For more information, visit http://www.oxfordseminars. com. The Pride contacted a recent graduate f rom Azusa Pacific University currently teaching English to children in China. "If someone would have told me about teaching English overseas I would have said ' No way,'" said Taylor Bartlett, who majored in Social Science [History and Government}. "But someone told me about the opportunity about three months before I would have to go and at that time, I didn't have anything really set u p so I thought I would give it a try." The intrinsic rewards are endless when given the o pportunity to teach others. Immersion into another country also gives teachers the chance to learn new lan- Tuesday Manh / / , 2008 guages arid appreciate other cultures and traditions. Oftentimes, American teachers travel together and live in the same or proximate locations. "Basically, I love my job. I teach 20 hours a week. I am doing so much over here that sometimes it feels like I am not even a teacher. In my spare time I like to * play sports with the students. I play soccer with them (although basketball is very popular because of Yao Ming) and I do play ping-pong. I am also teaching myself Chinese." Other countries offer TESOL positions as well. Oxford Seminars place students in Western and Eastern European countries including France, Germany, Russia and Greece. Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam and T hailand are some examples in East/Southeast Asia. Latin American countries include Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Mexico as well as others. While in the Middle East students have the opportunity to visit Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. "I get 5,000 RMB a month and f ree housing. This is a high paying j ob in China. The minimum wage in China is 600 R MB per month. If I really wanted to save money I could, but I am traveling around about once a month. I have been to many places in China, and during my winter holiday I went to Thailand to get some sunshine and ride an elephant!" Although some may worry that overseas work could be dangerous compared to work in the States, Bartlett assures that working in China is just as safe, if not safer, than the United States. "Protection here as an American Citizen is fine. I have never had a problem. China likes the US, well the business side of things. And in China it is illegal to have a gun, so there are no problems with that. The Chinese people like to keep to themselves. There are little crimes here and there, mostly petty theft. Someone stole my bike, but nothing serious." According to Oxford Seminars, there are oyer 20,000 teaching jobs available around the world monthly. "I would recommend teaching overseas to anyone and everyone. All of my friends continually tell me how lucky I am. You have the rest of your life to work. I think people should take a year for themselves," said Bartlett. "After college and into the big world is a big transition arid many people get stuck in a rut right away but I think that going overseas is a great experience to learn about yourself and who you want to be in the years to come."

For those of you who don't speak Latin, it's a device, usually divine, magical, or technological, which allows the character to solve an unsolvable problem. It's a cop out, an excuse for an improbable plot to shamble on when it should have had the decency to die. I'd write "spoiler alert," but there's really nothing to spoil. The main character's problems were solved, in sequence, by getting stuck in a net and getting his spear stuck in a rock. Then, obviously, he received help from carnivorous ostriches, a saber tooth tiger, a star, a blind albino-midget, a scar on "[his] woman's" hand, a mammoth, an old woman and some beans. No, really, it all makes sense. The beans grew into grass, which can apparently feed an entire tribe. I guess they were secretly made of lawnmowers. Really, it all fit into the prophecies.

After closing her performance According to Lucas, "When I was brave enough to come out and say, "I am a child of a prisoner," I was overwhelmed by the number of people who came to me wanting to share their stories as they, too, were in similar situations." The massive amount ofresponses Lucas got from families of prisoners, as well as her own experiences, inspired her research. Lucas corresponded with over 400 prisoners and their families. It was through her identifying with the hardships of the families involved, that she created this play, to give a voice to those who are without a voice of their own and are suffering at the hands "of this prison society that we have all conspired to create," in Lucas' words. An endearing, laughable, heavily accented Texan; a single Hispanic mother whose husband is serving life; a African-American woman who fell in love with the wrong fix the societal problems that put people in prison rather than just throwing people away? Get off your butts and figure out what you can do to actually make some positive change." Lucas went on to say: "What does locking these people away accomplish? Eventually these people are put back on the streets with literally nothing, already ostracized from society. We claim to believe in rehabilitation, but all we are doing is just warehousing people for profit. We live in a prison society, where one in every hundred citizens is a prisoner, that's the largest prison population, per capita, than any other time in history, or any other place in the world."

I have cancer. I was released with no money, medication, no chemotherapy. .. I was placed in a homeless shelter, in the worst part of San Diego, where the streets and surrounding area are over run with crime and drugs. The system doesn't care about the prisoners or their needs. All they are interested in is the money they get per prisoner bed. Our only real hope is people like you [referring to Lucas], who really do care and help to ease the suffering." When asked about her feelings towards her own father's upcoming parole hearing Lucas responded. "In Texas, much like here in California, we make money off of prisons and prisoners. Politicians get elected by being tough on crime and prisoners. My father is getting older and with age comes a higher medical cost and the state ceasing to be able to profit from their labor. Higher cost and lower profits will hopefully make him a better candidate for parole, but we'll have to wait and see." "Here in California, the Prison Guards Union is one of the most powerful unions. They are known for employing lobbyist to push for their causes. While education along with everything else in the state is facing budget cuts at the hands of the Governor. The Prison Guards Union was given a 5% raise this year by the Governor himself," said Lawston. According to The Sentencing Project, an agency for "prison research and advocacy for reform", as of 2005, 2.2 million Americans were incarcerated. China ranks second, holding 1.5 million prisoners, although China has four times the population of the US. Wikipedia indicates in California alone, as of2006,170,000 prisoners occupy facilities designed for 83,000, with most facilities holding more than 200% of their design capacity. According to the US Department of Justice, "Of the 272,111 persons released from prisons in 15 States in 1994, an estimated 67.5% were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4% re-sentenced to prison for a new crime." The numbers speak volumes for themselves. In the words ofFyodorDostoevsky, "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons." Do you think we have a problem?

"It's a blessing to do something you love for a living. The whole thing kind of caught me off guard, but it's just been such an amazing experience/'1 Prettyman—-a San Diego native ^nd local surfing fiend—is home once more from extensive world** wide touring following the 20Q5 release of her debut album, "twentythree." Back home, Prettyman is gearing up for her soph« omore release on Virgin Records, "Hello...x" due out in stores in April, and preparing for the subsequent headlining tour. "For me, this record is definitely a collection. I am dramatic, constantly all over the place emotionally, always changing my mind and things like that, and I think all the songs represent those different parts of my personality. Together all of them, as a whole, represent everything. It's weird, each song is very diverse and different, but there's a constant flow between all of them that makes them connected."

Soft and surfy, the tracks off "Hello.. .x" are full-bodied and rich with the passion and delicacy that fills Prettyman's evolving style. "This record was definitely me stopping to take a break and decompress everything and sort through stuff—the feelings and emotions and put it into song," said Prettyman on the inspiration for the album.

If the answer is "yes " I am about to change that forever. This is because of the incredible story of Joe Denges, Justin Dike, Matt Hulet and Dusty Schiefelbein of the band, Hollowell. They've played together for eight years at bars, clubs and even churches up and down all of California. But within the last few years, they've embarked on a few journeys that most local bands never get a chance to experience - going overseas and touring for the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Having two overseas tours under their belts, Hollowell is about to head out on their third, but not before taking a short detour to the African country of Swaziland where they will help kids suffering from AIDS, as well as play music for and with them. Hollowell is an alternative rock band based out of the city of Orange, California. A fter the eight years they've been together, three of the original members still remain: Joe, Matt and Justin. Dusty, the newest member of the band, has been with them a little over two years now, and is, according to Joe, "exactly what we were missing." Their previous bassist was a good friend and amazing musician, but he had other avenues he desired to pursue which eventually led t o Dusty, the missing piece of the Hollowell puzzle. While Hollowell has released a few short EPs, it wasn't really until around 2006 that they actually began getting their music out there. First, with a 5-song worship EP, "All I Am" and just this year, a 5-song rock EP, "Are You m Waiting," which gave them much popularity and notoriety from various individuals, and organizations. Beginning on March 13, 2008, Hollowell will b e with a small group of people in the country of Swaziland, helping children suffering from AIDS. When asked what his main goal was in going to Swaziland, lead singer Joe Denges said: "We have a uni- « fied goal for Swaziland. We are trying to set the framework for a much bigger picture of bringing about a positive change in the nation and its people." Drummer Justin Dike says that in going to Swaziland, he hopes to " . . bring hope to a dying segment of my g eneration..." And if nothing else, "my main goal is to be able to just bring smiles to the faces of all the people in Swaziland..." says Dusty Schiefelbein, bassist. But before they come home, they will be playing music for these children and actually leaving their instruments for the children to learn to play - an mow courtesy nouoweu The members of Hollowell pose with military equipment while overseas example of true and caring artists. After returning home from Swaziland on March 23, the guys of Hollowell have less than two weeks before they will board another flight and head overseas to support the troops in Iraq and give them an escape through music. Asking these guys why they keep Playing for the troops is very important to Hollowell, and according to Joe, "Seeing how much they are touched and what it means to them when we go over there makes it more than worth the trip. They're our friends and family, too now." What a life changing event and what an incredible opportunity these mm young men have. Their support and love for the troops is an inspiration, not to mention the fact that it is "freaking f un" according to Justin. Listening to their brand new 5-song rock EP "Are You Waiting" it is easy to understand why they were nominated for "Best Live Electric Band" by the Orange County Music Awards Committee. "I think I'd freak out! [if we won]", Joe says, "It's been a trip for us because we got into the live competition by chance and we were happily going over to play for the troops, surprised to find out we made the Dusty really does speak for all finals." Their rock anthems and crowd of them when he says, "We love playing for our troops! They give favorites such as "Naked" and so much of themselves to fight for "Voodoo" have become favorites what they believe in and to protect on my playlist, as they should on the country we love so much! It is yours. Watching these guys play an honor for us to be able to enter- is a treat. Their presence on stage tain them." is so natural, like they were meant "We love playing for our troops! They give so much of themselves to fight for what they believe in and to protect the country we love so much!" -Dusty Schiefelbein- to play together. It has been a long and hard* road for each of them, but according to their growing international popularity and local fame, I think it it's safe to say that . it was all worth the wait for them. These guys are an incredible success story. No, they aren't on the radio or MTV, but they play all over OC. They have the best fan base, and they've been nominated for an OCMA. They've toured twice overseas in Iraq and are about to go for a third, not to mention their brief stay in Swaziland. So what do they say for those of us who wish to be musicians? Dusty : "Don't give up." Joe: "Don't leave it only up to your talent." And Justin: "Don't quit unless you are hurting someone else. And go to a Hollowell show." I wish them the best of luck as they make the world better with their music. If you would like to know more about Hollowell, please visit their website, www.HollowellMusic.com (currently under construction) or check them out at www.Myspace.com/Hollowell, which is where all the best information about them and their CD can be found. Hollowell's CD can also be purchased on iTunes; you should pick up a copy - and who knows? Maybe t hey'll change your life, too. �i tHDE BY JONATHAN E.

CheerSK BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The newest addition to the San Marcos Wal-Mart Plaza on Center Drive, off of Nordahl Road, is the Yogurt Factory/ This store takes a unique look into the world of frozen treats. Like many frozen yogurt stores, there are a variety of yogurt flavors and toppings, but there is something different about this store. Located in a small spot along the row of stores in the plaza, the store is very inviiing. Unlike most stores where customers pick a size of ice cream and pay per topping, this store's policy encourages creativity, because they pay per ounce rather than size. The process of getting frozen yogurt involves taste testing several flavors, then grabbing a cup and swirling in as many flavors one may desire. Following that, the wide variety of toppings, including sauces, fresh cut fruit, candy pieces, and even obscure options such as cheesecake crumbles or breakfast cereal, are all fair game. Because one is billed by weight, you have unlimited options as to how much yogurt or toppings you want. Possibilities range from a plain cup of frozen yogurt to a flavorful hodgepodge of different toppings. I cannot recommend this shop enough. The staff in sincerely friendly and the store is impeccably clean. As for the yogurt, I cannot find a finer frozen treat than their variety of sweet and fruity selections. Yogurt Factory is an original idea done t o perfection. Unlike other shops, which focus on frozen slabs or the color of plastic silverware, they emphasize the customer.

XIX NO. 7 Campus community unifies to oppose C SU budget cut BY ALEX HAND Pride Staff Writer The latest proposed cut of $386 million to the California State University budget has CSU students, faculty, and staff across California in an uproar. Approved by the CSU Board of Trustees for the 2008/2009 fiscal year, the cuts would force universities to t urn away more than 10,000 students statewide. The lack of funding would also force the system to once more increase student fees, lay off teachers, eliminate classes, and do away with many programs. Sprinter Light Rail launches this Sunday The entire CSU community has come together to fight for a common goal against the proposed budget cuts. Each of the 23 CSU campuses has launched a unified campaign that will begin in on March 3 at CSU Dominguez Hills. The following week, Mon. March 10, the second forum will take place at CSU San Marcos. CSUSM will hold its all-campus meeting on 1:00-2:00 p.m. in Arts 111. There will be media availability 30 minutes prior to each event. In hopes of "protecting the future of California" the cam- paign expects to prove the importance that CSU plays in the economy of California. Faculty, staff, and students alike will demonstrate that cuts to the CSU system would actually further damage the economy.

Built along the Escondido track of the San Diego Northern Railroad, the new service will be the f irst along the. tracks s ince the JSante Fe Railroad stopped passenger service in the area in 1946. The 22-mile long track, along the 78 freeway, will go through the cities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido, and includes stops near Palomar College and CSUSM. While the North County Transit District has discount passes available to students of Palomar and MiraCosta colleges, there is no such agreement for CSUSM students. Service from various locations starts between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Of particular interest to students: the last evening train westbound from CSUSM is at 7:41 p.m., while the last eastbound t rain departs at 9:16 p.m. Monthly passes are $54, or $2 for a day pass. With the current high price of gas, the Sprinter may help students save money.

C SUSM customer satisfaction results Survey responses show opinions of available facilities and services BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer Earlier this semester, Finance and Administrative Services conducted an online customer service survey on various departments around the university. The survey asked various students, staff, and faculty about their level of satisfaction and netted interesting figures. Anyone interested viewing the results in full can visit www.csusm.edu/bsc/0708sat. htm. The figures from the academic 2007/2008 annual survey had a wide number of categories ranging from topics such as facilities, maintenance, university police, financial aid, housing, and parking services. The idea behind conducting Tuesday, Mar. 4 31 Women in 31 Days Forum Plaza the survey was to have different departments meet and identify areas for improvement around university services. Departments put together action plans that outline some overall performances and upcoming plans to improve certain areas as well. Some of the more interesting results came specifically from University Village Apartments (UVA) and University Police. From a study done with 331 participants, 55% answered "don't know" concerning campus crime prevention presentations. To go along with Crime Prevention Programs such as "Cougar Watch," University Police Department (UPD) has been producing videos which are available at the UPD website. A University Police and Liaison Program will also be implemented to provide additional avenues for communication with campus committees, students, staff, and police. The survey also determined that the UVA staff is invested and helpful toward the students there. Of the approximate 160 participants of the survey, 80.1% believe that they are doing exceptional services in addressing personal and social growth. 70.6% of those surveyed agreed or strongly agreed that resident advisors demonstrated an honest commitment to student welfare and activities. According to UVA Director Brian Dawson, "When you treat people like adults, you are given choices to act freely. Some people thrive on that and based off the customer survey, the majority feel that way." 7:30 p.m. ASi and UVA Texas Hold'em Tournament SSiliiiiÄllI Thursday, Mar. 6 12:00 p.m. a* Women's HERstory in San ö tego UCI hosts forum for graduate education BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer On Sat. April 5, University of California, Irvine will host the California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education. There will be a bus departing from CSUSM to UCI available to students signedup to attend the event. Although the forum is f ree, the Career Center requires a [checks only] $20 deposit to reserve a spot on the bus. The bus will leave promptly at 7 a.m. and return at approximately 6:00 p.m. The forum is held twice yearly - once in Southern California, and once in Northern California. It is designed to provide students from underrepresented groups with the tools and information to help them apply and be accepted to graduate schools. Some benefits of attend- ing the forum include meeting representatives from over 100 of the nation's elite graduate schools and getting f ree access to the Princeton Review's online prep course for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). There are also many workshops designed to cater to specific areas of study, a few include: nursing, physical sciences and mathematics, and fine and performing arts. There will also be workshops designed to provide more general information about topics such as selecting and applying to graduate schools. Another important subject that will be covered is the issue of securing funding for graduate school.

With big name players such as M arian Hossa, Brad Richards, and Brian Campbell finding new homes, other big name players Olli J okinen and Mats Sundin stayed put, leaving questions for the o ff-season. 25 t rades later, it is t ime to discuss the t rades that went down and how t his can impact a t eam's f uture. L et's start with the Atlanta Thrashers who t raded Hossa and Pascal Dupuis for Erik Christensen, Colby Armstrong, prospect Angleo Esposito and 2008 d raft pick. Despite losing Hossa, the Thrashers added young talent that could bolster a talented f uture. The Pittsburgh Penguins on the other hand added help for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Hossa will now be able to play wingman to "Sid the K id" while raising the expectations for a long playoff r un. I am expecting them to be playing for the cup. The Dallas Stars were able to pick up Richards and Johan Holmqvist for Mike Smith, Jussi Jokinen, J eff Halpren and a 2009 first round d raft pick. The addition of Richards gives the Stars contending power against the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks. The Tampa Bay Lightning added an upgrade in goaltending with Smith, while adding t hree young players and two d raft picks. This gives the Lightning an opportunity to rebuild a struggling team that had star power but lacked depth and goaltending. The Philadelphia Flyers added Jarslov Modry on Feb. 19 and Vaclav Prospel on Feb. 25. Modry gives the Flyers depth on the blue line while Prospel gives the Flyers some much needed scoring power with the loss of Simon Gagne for the season and while waiting for J offery Lupul to r eturn f rom a high ankle sprain. The last winner f rom the t rade deadline was the Anaheim Ducks who once again didn't make a trade. They kept their core of players and traded for a role player. One reason for not making dramatic trades was that they have watched the r eturn of last years Conn Smyth winner (playoff MVP) Scott Niedermayer and more importantly the r eturn of Teemu Selanne who has sparked some much needed offense. The r eturn of Selanne and Niedermayer make the Ducks the team to beat once again. But not all teams were winners this year. The Florida Panthers were lucky enough to find a buyer wanting Ruslan Salei. But they failed to trade Jokinen. The next question for Florida is who is going to be leaving. Jokinen or will coach/general manger Jacques M artin, I believe both will be gone. And the bigger loser of the two was the Toronto Maple Leafs, who watched all five players with no trade clauses use them to stay with the team. In the end, they were only able to t rade for a few low d raft picks, instead of gaining a h andful of first round picks. A team that looked like they were going to be able to be the biggest sellers got shut down by poor negotiating of contracts. No team should give five players a no-movement or trade clause, let alone to that many players with expiring contracts in the same year. The playoffs are near and teams are finally set for the final 20 games of the season. The question is who will be the winner, who made the right decision at the deadline and who will be the 29 losers who didn't make the right decision. No matter what, the playoffs are coming and I for one can't wait. Any comments or questions can be sent to churc009@ csusm.edu or pride@csusm. edu. Tuesday, March 4, 2008 Blood, Sweat Tears, Gas BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer So, I just bartered my firstborn this morning in exchange for a tank of gas. Luckily, we've already discussed my feelings about children, so it was actually a win-win deal. The guy even threw in a Diet Coke. Kidding aside, not that I've been kidding so far, a lot of people complain about the cost of gas. But I'm not hearing a lot of these whining lame-cakes coming up with solutions. I have the answer though: We should go to war with a country that has oil and take theirs. Wait. That could backfire. Ok, I have a better solution. We genetically engineer more dinosaurs a la Jurassic Park. Once we're done teaching them tricks and studying them, bonding with our large new reptilian friends, we slaughter them mercilessly, and boom, more fossil fuel. No, I'm sure I can do better. We can just find ways to work without gas. I've heard a lot about these hybrid-electric vehicles. New plan: feral catelectric vehicles. People still aren't following that whole "spay and neuter your pets" thing. Answer to rising feral cat population problem? Teach them to pull cars. It'll be like running an Iditerod every day just to get to work or the grocery store. Since BST doesn't approve of whipping your sled cats though, I recommend that you train them to work on positive reinforcement. For every mile your 500 feral cats pull you, give them a bag of Skittles. Actually, I have a less messy idea. You could just carpool. Then you can split the gas cost between yourself and someone that you liked in the beginning but have slowly began to hate, a person whose inability to throw away empty pudding cups that somehow end up under your seat and snorting giggle you come to consider death-penalty worth offenses. Carpooling is delightful. You could just make sure you recycle your grocery store bags. In 60 years, if you recycle every single one, you'll have probably 50 mile worth of gas. Or better yet, just recycle all your beer bottles, and use the money to buy more Skittles for your feral cat mobile.

In particular, probiotic yogurt has taken the yogurt industry by storm, touting benefits of increased immunity, regulating digestion, and being a source of daily calcium. According to Lifeway Foods Incorporated, probiotics ("beneficial to life") are live cultures that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Pat Kendall, a food science and human nutrition specialist at Colorado State University Extension, has also defined these bacteria as probiotic because they survive through the stomach to the gastrointestinal tract. Once in the GI tract, they function as favorable bacteria to maintain a healthy relationship between the 200+ kinds of bacteria that inhabit the GI tract. Researchers have f ound _ anfa, § ll 0ÊSm WÊÊt substantial evidence denoting that there are several strains of essential "good-for-you" bacteria that have the ability to promote healthy gastrointestinal functions, increase immunity and help prevent the development of cancer-causing toxins throughout the body. Currently, there are several selections of probiotics to choose from which include dairy sources [yogurt and kefir (a yogurtesque, dairy beverage with roots in the Middle East)], capsule formulas, liquid formulas, powder or tablets, and fermented foods such as sauerkraut. Kefir beverages usually contain ten cultures including the following: Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Streptococcus diacetylactis, Leuconostoc cremoris, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Saccharomyces florentinus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Conventional yogurts without additional probiotic supplement u su- ^mÈ^^ m ally contain Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilus. Dannon's Activia yogurt has become quite popular and well known for its probiotic qualities. Activia is usually the introduction into the "culture" of probiotics. Student Michelle Bartolome is familiar with the probiotic yogurt from Activia and has tried Activia , noting that it tasted similar to conventional yogurt. Taylor Linkins, another student familiar with probiotics, commented that Activia tasted different from typical yogurt. Being a skeptical consumer is a natural response when bombarded with these amazing claims about yogurt. So what exactly makes probiotic yogurt so special? Most traditional yogurts on the market usually only contain one to two live and active bacterial cultures (usually Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Ifc, thermophilus). "I" iW Many dairy and yogurt companies have launched probiotic products promising improved immunity and digestive health.

Another point to address is the convenience of probiotic yogurt — one does not have to go about selecting probiotic supplements. Similarly, most probiotic yogurts promote healthy digestion and gastrointestinal functions with the addition of more bacteria cultures. Research is also being conducted to determine effectiveness of strengthened immunity and cancer prevention. So, how can one reap the benefits? Being a careful consumer is essential — be sure to check the labels and make sure it actually contains live and active cultures because the number of live cultures differs among products from processing methods.

March is here, and that means this is the month that college students across the nation are in the spotlight with the all media eyes watching college basketball, spring breaks, relentless mid-terms and the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War, which significantly affects a great number of students and their families. This month, however, mtvU, MTV's Emmy award-winning college network, in conjunction with The Jed Foundation, which is the nation's foremost suicide prevention nonprofit organization, are heavily promoting mtvU's "Half of Us" campaign. According to the website, the " 'Half of Us' campaign derives its name from research showing that nearly half of all college students have felt so depressed they could not function, and addresses the reality that suicide is the second leading killer of college students." Though the "Half of Us" campaign is not new, in light of recent events nationwide, "Half of Us" is sponsoring new programs this month that are focused on stress and other emotional effects that this March in particular could have on students. "March is a month when the nation celebrates college culture, and this year we aim to use the moment to spark a dialogue about the serious mental health issues going unaddressed on college campuses - claiming the lives of countless students each year," said Stephen Friedman, GM, mtvU. "Our special 'Half of Us' March programming is part of a year-round commitment to chipping away at the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health, as well as connecting students to the necessary resources." The new programming offered at halfofus.com includes a feature special with Billy Corgan, the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, who speaks out on how his success caused memories of an abusive childhood to surface, and how accepting those issues and seeking help and available resources can help students. Also debuting on the website on March 17, will be a discussion for Iraqi War Student Veterans, in which student soldiers from coast to coast talk about life after the war, getting back into the routine of college life and how they are coping with the challenges it brings. For this discussion, there will also be an acclaimed expert on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), who will offer advice to student soldiers and student veterans on what resources are available to them and how to get a hold of such resources. According to the press release for this month's programs, halfofus.com is also starting an mtvU and The Associated Press Mental Health Poll. The poll specifically aims to be "an in-depth look at the impact stress and depression are having on the national college audience—particularly at this pivotal point of the semester." The poll also hopes to supply a valuable look "into how the war, starting a career, campus safety, technology, substance abuse and other factors affect college students' stress levels and mental health today—and where they are, or are not, turning for help."

A new study led by C oBA Professor William Burns BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer In the Fall semester of2007, California and its residents experienced the tragedies, panic, and potential consequences of the wildfires that plagued the state for weeks. Since the events of the California wildfires and even as far back as the events of 9/11, there have been numerous studies on the reaction of humans to these types of events. Dr. William Burns, a professor in the College of Business Administration here at California State University San Marcos, now has the privilege of studying the effects of these types of disasters with the assistance of some prominent professionals and distinguished organizations. "It's a myth that people panic in disasters. Research simply doesn't support it," states Burns. But adverse effects are not limited to panic, and the reactions that victims of these events have is the main idea of this study. Assisting Dr. Burns is the team of psychologist, Paul Slovak of Decision Research, Adam Rose and Garrett Asaey, economists at USC. As Decision Analyst of this study, Burns says he wishes to "examine and better understand the connection between people's responses to disasters, including terrorism." The process of surveying and presenting different scenarios to a multitude of people on varying levels of categories (income, ethnicity, location, etc.) will help this team of educated individuals determine the responses that many people might have to various disastrous events. Various people are asked multiple questions about how traumatic events would effect their psyches, economic standing, and personal decisions. These findings will help set a procedure for how we evaluate the different effects of an incident. This can include not only a person's reaction, but also media coverage, responses of the masses, and proce- dures to help community leaders and the public. This study can vary depending on the surveys. Many factors will be taken into account when it comes to this study. Factors like location, the individual, dialect, and the type of disaster will all drastically influence the reaction of the media, government, and public support. Panic would not be the first response to disaster, according to Burns. During 9/11 as well as the California wildfires, the support of the public was orderly and helpful as opposed to hysteria. Burns also mentions that if we all looked back at the news coverage during 9/11, a majority of the people in the towers got out safely using the stair case, meaning that the task of evacuation could never have worked if there was a majority of people climbing over others and watching out for only themselves. When asked how this study came into fruition, Dr. Burns said that "It really has its origins back in 2003...but mostly inspired by 9/11, we understand a lot about how the public responds to technological disasters and things. We might be able to use our expertise to get a better understanding on how people by respond to larger, natural disasters, and especially terrorism." Funded by the National Science Foundation, this will be a three-year long study with an almost $750,000 budget. The process of writing up, presenting, and reviewing this proposal to this wellknown foundation is a competitive and very selective process. With the potential that a disaster can occur at anytime, the outcome of this study will also affect students. "College graduates in particular will find their way into leadership roles and have the responsibility to help communities pull together to face the disasters of the future because they will be,, more than likely, in leadership roles. And our study will speak to those, and help them better understand how to do that," said Burns. Considering a Career in Physical Therapy?

Photo courtesy Steve Jacob BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer the plot and the Directed by Wes Anderson, "The Darjeeling Limited" is a breath-taking, introspective film that follows three American brothers along a spiritual quest throughout India. Out of touch, and out of their minds, the Whitman brothers—portrayed by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman—set out on a journey of self-discovery to rekindle their brotherly bond while mourning the death of their father. Making their way through India on a train, specifically the Darjeeling Limited railway, their plan is quickly dissembled, as they encounter unexpected challenges and settings. Eventually they find themselves lost, stranded, and out of luck on a new and uncharted route. Toting eleven of their father's suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine, the Whitman brothers allow viewers to grow along with them as they experience each bump in the road and new scenario. According to The Onion's A.V. Club, it is theorized that there 16 films to which Anderson's style was most heavily influenced. Number 7 on the list is "The River." Anderson himself has mentioned that this film was the single greatest film influence on "The Darjeeling Limited." A1951 film directed by Jean Renoir and written by Rumer Godden is a dramatic romance about three teenage girls living in Bengal, India (all of English decent), coming of age and falling in love with the same man. In both films, this foreign country, India, is the core landscape for the fruition of It also becomes a place of healing ^fck | § ^^^^^^^^^^ DarjeelingLimited" * is not a romantic film in any sense of traditional ^ ^ ^ conventions, there is romance in the film between the characters and the scenery. There are also hints of romance threaded through the film as it ideally is a fully conceptualized after-thought to the previously released "Hotel Chavelier", which also starred Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman. As both "The River" and "The Darjeeling Limited" take their characters on a voyage through an unfamiliar land, both Renoir and Anderson recognize through their visual interpretations, that their stories veer more towards a location transforming the main characters than it is about interpreting the cultural identity of India for their audiences. That said, however, "The Darjeeling Limited" is all about Indian culture. It is the weird and wonderful things in India which the Whitman brothers encounter that change them and unite them. Along with the incredible acting on behalf of Brody, Schwartzman, and Wilson, together with the likes of Bill Murray and Angelica Houston, "The Darjeeling Limited" is a succulent DVD treat for any viewer or Wes Anderson fan, full of incredible actors, beautiful mis-en-scene, and a transcendental timeless story. this semester?

The dark brown glass bottle holds 22-fluid ounces of ale - a bit more than average. The labeling contains an image of a shadowy earth smiling down upon a turquoise tented moon surface. Psychedelic colors comprise the rest of the label. A black bottle cap with a shiny silver outline and the company's yellow logo of a smiley face caps the bottle with an alcohol by volume of 5.6%. It retails for $3.19 at BevMo. The ale pours thickly, creating a chunky and massive one inch thick head. A demonic black tenor fills the glass. The head resides for several moments before decreasing in size. However, a solid head remains for the duration of consumption. A distinct aroma arises from the evil mixture. Shockingly and disappointingly, the ale enters smooth and finishes mildly. The aromas and textures seemed to ensure a more Indiana Jones-like adventure. Instead, the ale's calmness projects Barney-like characteristics.

Uninformed viewers unfairly stereotype sci-fi films and television shows as "nerdy" or "geeky." This is not true, however, because not every "Star Trek" fan has abnormal acne, buckteeth, and a thick pair of glasses. If you desire to see what the buzz is all about, I have a few suggestions to expand your horizons. One does not have to be obsessive to enjoy these fine pieces of entertainment. A recent movie one could use to "cut their teeth" on is Danny Boyle's "Sunshine", released last year. Boyle who directed films such as "28 Days Later" and "Trainspotting," gives an impressive story about humankind on a mission to save the Earth. Years in the future, the sun is dying and a select crew is set to deliver a payload to reinvigorate it. Along the way, they receive a distress signal, which they answer and disaster ensues. It is an exciting and terrifying movie in space similar to "Alien" and "Event Horizon" and is well worth a watch. One does not have to worry about techno-babble that may turn people off, because as long as viewers pay attention, the movie explains everything. It is a story about testing humanity that just happens to take place in space. Along those lines, I am going to recommend a film that may make one shudder to consider. "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" is an extraordinary film with action and excitement. People stigmatized this film as a program for geeks, which is unfair. For some reason, "Star Wars" has escaped the majority of the criticism, yet these two films are on the same level. It is a clever and engrossing from the very beginning. Not only does it deserve to have everyone watch it, but also earns the right to have the vicious labels removed from it. I have limited experience with "Star Trek" but I was able to pick this up and enjoy its many fine qualities. Finally, I recommend the works from the mind of Joss Whedon: "Firefly," and the subsequent film "Serenity." "Firefly" is the story of ship and its crew that roam the galaxy looking to get by years after humankind branched out from Earth and a civil war erupted. This television show ran for one season on FOX, who cut it, not knowing what a goldmine they had on their hands. Fans still fight for the show to come back and were delighted when NBC/Universal offered a deal to Whedon and made "Serenity." This follows the same crew on its ventures, where Whedon mixes the right amount of humor and explosions. The structure of these works is similar to a Western set in space and is engrossing and addictive to even first time sci-fi goers. I sincerely hope people will give sci-fi another chance and examine its fine achievements. It can be just as exciting and entertaining as any other genre. Also, do not judge addicted sci-fi fans. People consider a football fan cool for knowing every statistic about every player on every team from every year, but sci-fi fans are "nerds" for knowing about what interests them. Other movies, like gangster or crime films have their own lingo — science fiction should have the same rights.

Photo by Ben Roffee/The Pride "Bid day" at CSUSM welcomes prospective members to its Greek community The intersection of Craven Road and Twin Oaks Valley Road often accumulates congested traffic. The congested traffic creates chaos for Cougars and local residents. Recently, the San M arcos S heriffs Department notified CSUSM of the constant complaints they receive regarding the intersection. Due to the overwhelming complaints f rom city residents, the s heriffs department plans to focus more attention on the intersection. The s heriffs department aims to enforce all vehicle codes, but more specifically, they plan to focus on violations of Vehicle Code 22526, also known as the Anti-Gridlock Law. The viola- tion costs approximately $150. University police are currently focusing on other aspects of t raffic inside CSUSM. If the s heriffs department requests assistance in patrolling the intersection, then university police will o ffer its support in the matter as well. Drivers violate the code when "they are sitting in a busy intersection and it is his/her t urn t o go through but they cannot make it all the way through the light and it t urns red.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Monthly Program Continues its Multicultural Educational Forums Thursday, Feb. 21 —' The Center for Border and Regional A ffairs hosted a screening of the f ilm, 'Maquilapolis: City of Factories' followed by a discussion with filmmaker, Sergio D e L a Torre and promotoras, Hispanic community outreach workers, f rom Tijuana featured in the film. There are currently about 4,000 maquiladoras across the Mexican border. Eighty percent of the labor force in maquiladoras (factories) are women. Women are o ften preferred over men because they are "cheap, docile and have agile hands." The average maquiladora worker receives $11 p er day. "We are simply objects of labor," said a f actory worker in the film. To create the film, filmmakers collaborated with f actory workers in Tijuana, community organizations in Mexico and the United States to illustrate globalization through the eyes of the women at the center of t he industry. The film f ocuses on the devastating impacts of globalization on its f actory workers and the environment. Filmmakers provided the women with cameras and taught them how to shoot. For five years t he women documented their daily lives. The film concentrated on the abandoned f actories and toxic waste products dumped throughout the com- munity. " Tijuana is nobody's trashcan," exclaimed one f rustrated worker in the film. Although 'Maquilopolis' stresses the f act that globalization provides corporate f reedom to move around the world in pursuit of cheap labor and lenient environmental regulations, it also shows that workers can organize ways t o demand appropriate law enforcement successfully. In t he film, many of the women were fighting back against the companies they worked for. Carmen D uran and her coworkers filed suit against Sanyo Electric Company for their entitled severance pay when the company abandoned their f actory in Tijuana and moved to Indonesia. At t he end of t he film, their case settled and they received severance pays ranging f rom $1000-$2000.

The T hinking Outside the [lunch]Box series is a monthly forum facilitated by Cal State instructors and/or guests to have an open and safe discussion about that session's particular topic. This month's topic is: "Are you passing?" "Passing is a sociological concept which refers to members of a racial group being accepted by others of a different race," explains Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs. Facilitating this event is Dr. Elise as well as Dr. Wilson of Cal State San Marcos, in conjunction with Lori Walkington, a graduate student of CSUSM. With a diverse group of educated and insightful facilitators with a willingness to learn, this event is sure to attract the attention of many students eager t o get involved, let their voices be heard, and make connections. "Statistics say that students who form relationships outside of classrooms are more likely t o graduate and continue on to grad. school and these venues provide opportunities to make connections and social support groups outside of the classroom," states Franklin. The forum coordinators are looking forward to engaging students and answering any questions or ideas that they may have. "It would be a good place to meet people that have different opinions about 'passing'. It's an avenue to discuss relevant contemporary issues and eat f ree food," said Kevin Chatham, a student Peer Educator at the Cross Cultural Center. Multicultural Programs encourages any student enticed by the promise of f ree food and the opportunity to discuss contemporary issues to attend the monthly event. �THE c i p r i d e • lllÉi ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ I ARTS ,:* & ^ £ DITÜR * TORIA $i*QRT$ From TRAFFIC, page 1 headed down one lane.

He identifies 7:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday through Thursday; 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., on Monday and Wednesday; and 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., on Tuesday and Thursday as peak traffic times. Miller f urther suggests that by increasing awareness of these times Cougars can arrive at alternate times to reduce the problems associated with peak traffic congestion. "Nobody parks in X, Y, or Z lot. Very few students park in upper or lower B lot. If people managed when they came onto campus and parked on B, X, Y, and Z lots then they would reduce a lot of traffic. They pass open spaces. If we can get people to show up on non-peak times and park in other spaces, it would greatly reduce t raffic," said Miller.

One BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer We have all seen it, but have only spared a glance in its direction as we just continue on our merry way to Cougar Central or the University Store. It is that one lone room on the third floor of Craven Hall right across the hall from the plethora of murals. It is room 3400-A—better known as the Cross Cultural Center—a place that is warm and open to anyone looking for a multicultural and sociable experience. Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs, describes it as, "A physical space to relax, with access to computers, printers, and a multicultural library to help them academically. It is also an area where you can critically discuss issues of multiculturalism and diversity." The Cross Cultural Center is an accepting environment with a multitude of different students who go there to relax, do homework, or simply take a break fj-om class to be with friends. Furthermore, with a courteous staff of Student Peer Educators whom have an extensive knowledge of the environment and a host of diversity programs, there is much to learn from them as well as C3's visitors. "I love being a part of the growing diversity on campus and giving other people the opportunity to interact with other cultures," says Auriel Dice, a Student Peer Educator in the C3. The academic and personal growth aspects of C3 are valuable to one's growth as a person, and what better way is there to learn, than to learn while having fun? With the combination of a set of large, red, and very comfortable couches as well as a giant 42" plasma ^screen, it is paradise for any student who wishes to relax while watching the news or Discovery Channel. Along with the connections that the visitors and staff of the C3's bring, the center is also conveniently connected with the Student Life & Leadership office (SLL), home to Orientation Team, Greek life, and 80+ other student organizations. "So many different people come in and just hang," says Kevin Chatham, Student Peer Educator of C3, "It's a friendly place with a lot of laughs and smiles." With its warm atmosphere, welcoming environment, and room to relax, learn, and grow, the Cross Cultural Center is a room on campus that should be visited regularly. In addition, having made a multitude of lifelong friendships in that office myself, it'd be hard to not find me in C3 regularly. .of the most similar 'cheap' alternatives is the COBY MP-C582 Clip MP3 Player. The MP-C582 is a 1GB player with all of the rudimentary functions of the iPod Shuffle, though marginally less attractive. The COBY player retails for as low as $25, but has received sub-par reviews relating to the aesthetics and dependability. One of thé more popular alternatives is the Creative Zen V. The Zen V 1GB player sports a $59.99 price tag and boasts a 1.5-inch color screen. The price tag along with fact that the device has a screen makes it one of the more desirable choices among the vast sea of lowcapacity MP3 players.

Melanie Niedens would say that energy drinks "play a huge role on campus". At any point during the day, a student is able to quickly make up for those few hours of sleep they missed by popping open a Monster. But does a highly caffeinated, artificiallyflavoredbeverage really fill the void? Its hard to tell at this point, since the long term effects of the energy drink craze has not yet been fully observed. It is important though, to understand the healthy alternatives that are made available to students on campus at CSUSM. When asked about a healthy alternative, Nie- dens (Cougar Store manager) suggested "Yerba Mate" which is an organic, naturally caffeinated tea reminiscent of a green tea flavor. Yerba Mate has just recently been made available for purchase in the Cougar Corner. Another alternative to gain just a bit of energy and or focus is Vitamin Water. Also according to Niedens, "Vitamin water is our number one seller". This reassuring fact proves that most students are still choosing the healthy alternative to give them that extra pick up.

His worn blue eyes, grey hair and grizzled voice emitted a sense of familiarity that could send you back in time f ifty years ago. In those days, families would load up their vans with tents and surfboards and take a weekend drive to relax and enjoy unscathed vistas of the 3.5 miles of cool ocean breeze and sandy shores. It's one of the benefits living there in this area - being able to enjoy a great number of outdoor activities like running and hiking trails or simply watching surfers and wildlife as they crash up and down waves. As he continued speaking, he would go on to mention how much of a blessing the land is as well as the entire state park system of California, like this one in San Onofre. It would be a shame that if many years from now, asphalt highways obliterated the natural settings only to save commuters countless hours stuck in traffic each year. Though softly spoken, his words resonated with the importance of maintaining this natural reserve and how simply laying pavement over them cannot solve problems. Some things are better left in nature's hands and simply be left untouched by the hordes of politicians and developers. The name of this man, for those curious, was Clint East- wood. As the epitome of the California surf culture, beachgoers and surfers always speak with high regard about the pristine qualities of San Onofre State Beach ~ particularly the area known as Trestles Beach. It houses numerous breaks that range from beginner sets, to some of the finer breaks here on the west coast. These wetlands that are situated right on the Oceanside and San Clemente border maintains an environmentally-friendly surrounding, untouched by land developers, and one of the few of its kind that exists along the California coastline. Even though this state paik is the fifth-most visited amongst the 278 state parks in California—frequented by surfers and swimmers alike for its famous surf spots—it doesn't just cater to them. People come in their campers and trailers looking to admire a beautiful sunset along a spot on the beach. Trestles Beach is also a natural reserve that serves as home to numerous flora and fauna. Inaccessible by vehicles, thrill seekers usually park their cars off the side of a road and trek through a long, winding trail from either the upper or the lower ends of the state park to find this hidden gem of a surf spot. For local Marines stationed in nearby Camp Pendleton, the area serves as a getaway from their dayto-day functions throughout the week, providing a little rest and relaxation. For them, Trestles is an introduction t o the Pacific surf culture, and for some, it's the first beach they've ever seen. Perhaps it is for this reason alone that makes Trestles widely adored within the surfing community; earning its name as the Yosemite of Surfing. Annually, the area is host to world-class competitions hosted by the Association of Surfing Professionals, such as last year's Boost Mobile Pro, and events by the National Scholastic Surfing Association. Yet, for all of its prestige, Trestles has seen its share of lingering and potential issues that threaten its serene shores. The last several years have had locals galvanizing a debate over the latest issue that involves expanding a proposed toll road (an extension to State Route 241). The extension would connect Orange County and San Diego with the construction ofa six-lane highway, and it is estimated to cost somewhere around $875 million dollars to fund and help alleviate some of the traffic nightmares on Interstate 5. The main goal is to cut down gridlock for commuters who cross the borders into San Diego County daily In January, Gov. Schwarzenegger and a handful of other officials threw their support behind the proposed project and generated even more intense interest over the possible solutions, if any. A 16-mile expansion would cut right through the state park and end right before hitting Trestles. Environmentalists and activists groups SPRINTER March 9,2008 argued that a highway of such magnitude would endanger wildlife and eliminate miles ofhiking and biking trails, reduce campground areas and increase the amount of polluted runoff into the park's watershed, not to mention the loss of a world-class surf spot. This is the first proposed project of its kind to have a highway run through any state park. Anytime commuters hear of a proposed solution to end gridlock, they generally jump on the opportunity to listen. Today, roughly 125,000 vehicles pass through the area each day. According to a study done by the Transportation Corridor Agencies based out of Irvine, an estimated trip down the Interstate 5 corridor could take almost an hour to get through by the year 2025. Earlier this month in Del Mar, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) held a hearing and listened to the implications and concerns of the expansion's opponents. The crowd of more than 3,000 supporters provided testimonies and after 12 hours of deliberation, the CCC voted 8-2 against any proposed highway through San Onofre State Park thunderous cheers of approval followed the decision. The majority of the supportersrepresentedthe "Save Trestles" campaign, which for years battled against such an expansion. The Commission concluded that aspects of the project simply failed to meet with California coastal regulations, and is simply inconceivable. Mainly, the reason for this ruling by the panel was due to inconsistencies the project had with the law, raising concerns for both the region and social responsibility. Peter Douglas, the executive director of the CCC, said, "This toll road raises fundamental questions about what kind of environmental and social future we want for our coastal communities, our families, our children and theirs." Though the locals won this battle, the war is still farfromover-Orange county lobbyists have not conceded defeat over this loss. The proponents of the state route expansion intend to appeal to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to overrule the Commission's ruling. According to Thomas Margro, the Foothill/Eastern Corridor Transportation Chief Executive Officer, "This project is the best option for relieving traffic congestion with the least amount of impact on communities and the environment." Still, the debate remains strong whether a highway through a state beach like the one threatening Trestles Beach is the best solution. Opponents to the highway expansion suggested studies that involve expanding Interstate 5 using innovative designs that would accommodate traffic. Through the debate though, one thing remains clear: Trestles Beach is a California icon. If you've only been fortunate enough to drive through the area, you 'are missing out on something truly breathtakingr ../ kmtmmm 6 A U T S H O O M N 6M» R D A E C O L F A AE E LEARN ABOUT EARNING YOUR M BA AT T HE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE A .

Pride Investigates: Top 5 dirtiest places on campus BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer According to the Center for Disease Control, the 2007-2008 Flu Season is one of the worst on record. Some U.S. health officials believe the severity is due to an ineffectivefluVaccine while others say the influenza strain's increasing antiviral resistance is to blame. Either way, bacteria and viruses are virtually inescapable. Avoidance combined with prevention seems to be the best way to steer clear of infection. But what to evade? The following list draws from numerous medical studies and professional opinions to try to shed light on what are most likely the grimiest places on our campus. 1. Drinking Fountains More like a rather large Petri dish. Robert Donofrio, PhD, director of microbiology for NSF International, found as many as 2.7 million bacteria on any given square inch of a public water spigot (compared to a measly 49 on a public toilet seat) through an independent study conducted in 2005. The reason for the incredible amount of bacteria is because the faucet is always wet, creating one marvelous environment for E. coli, staphylococcus, and a whole host of other tummy-turning microorganisms. If you must, run the water for about 15 seconds before taking a sip as a way of clearing a portion of the existing bacteria. 2. Classrooms That'sright.Those things you're stuck in all day. University of Arizona researchers found that classroom desks have 20 times the amount of bacteria as you would find on an ordinary workplace desk; 7 times that of a doctor's office. "Desks are really bacteria cafeterias," says Charles Gerba, microbiologist. A classroom desk has the capacity to support 10 million microorganisms at any given time. What's more, the desk you're at can keep a cold orflubug viable for 72 hours, long enough to transfer them to several people. Antibacterial wipes can offer much appreciated peace of mind; they do kill 99% of surface germs. 3. Restroom Doors Think about it. Every single person going in or out of the bathroom has to touch the same place. As said by the American Society of Microbiologists, approximately 68% of people actually wash their hands before leaving the restroom. So, that means that nearly one third of people have the ability to transfer the urine and fecal matter from several people to the restroom door, giving everyone the opportunity to share in the excitement. Lovely. Rule of thumb: say your ABCs while you wash your hands as a good 20 seconds will cleanse thoroughly. 4. Stair Handrails It's no secret that CSUSM has Considering a Career In Physical Therapy?

UNIVERSITY OF ST: A UGUSTINE RSYP by visiting our website www,usa,edu/fle% or catling Mary Noor at 1-866-557-3731 a rather hefty number of stairs on campus, which provides an unusually high prospect for germs to be exposed to a number of students. Microbes open to the elements are able to survive for about two hours on the metal, non-porous painted stair rails. As frightening as it is, researchers have found everything from streptococcus, staphylococcus, salmonella and shigella (the culprits behind dysentery), and even blood harboring hepatitis A. When it comes to a surface as common as stair railing, all I can say is this: just don't touch. 5. Vending Machines Essentially, outdoor things with buttons on them are ghastly. If you buy your parking permits by the day, that keypad you touch can have 3,295 bacteria per square inch. Maybe you've decided to bypass the drinking fountain for bottled water. A vast improvement, yes, but the array of germs on the outside of the machine could trans- fer from the button, to your hand, to the bottle top, right on into your mouth. Not only that, but paper money is one of the dirtiest things you can handle. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers come in quite handy in these situations, but be careful as overuse can cause your immune system to weaken. As simple as it may seem, proper hand washing technique is truly your best defense against infection. If the faucet isn't automatic, use a paper towel to turn it on. The soap you use doesn't need to be antibacterial, but you must lather well, being sure not to ignore your wrists or forget about your fingernails. After about 20 seconds rinse thoroughly, and choose a paper towel over an air dryer, as it can blow bacteria all over your freshly washed hands. Don't rely on the alcohol-based hand sanitizers either; there's no substitute for soap and water. �gramming language.

SUNDAY Men's Golf % Point Loma Invitational �UFC 82: Silva vs Henderson Two of mixed martial arts elite middleweights square off for title BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The best fight of 2008 could come as early as March 2 as Anderson "The Spider5' Silva and Dan "Hollywood" Henderson face off for the UFC middleweight title at UFC 82: Pride of a Champion. Silva, who sits atop the summit of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, seeks to defend his belt from Henderson, who holds the equivalent welterweight belt from the now defunct Pride promotion (Pride welterweight and UFC middleweight are equivalent divisions). "The Spider" entered the UFC in 2006 and has dominated the middleweight division with his devastating stand up game. A product of the famed Brazilian "Chute Box" team, Silva is an expert in Muay Thai and also received his black belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu from Pride legend, Antonio "Minotauro" Noguiera. On Oct. 14,2006, Silva defeated Rich Franklin at UFC 64 for the middleweight belt, knocking out the champion halfway into the first round. Since then, Silva has reined mercilessly over the division, successfully defending his title against Travis Lutter, Nathan Marquadt, and Rich Franklin in his most recent fight, a rematch. Prior to his current UFC reign, Silva held the Cage Rage middle- weight title from 2004 to 2006. If there is only one middleweight contender in the world that can beat Anderson Silva, it is Dan Henderson. An Olympic caliber Greco-Roman wrestler, Henderson has consistently proven himself to be a top-tier fighter in both the 185 lb. and 205 lb. divisions. From 2000 to 2007, Henderson fought against countless elite fighters in Pride, where he eventually won and simultaneously held the welterweight (185 lb.) and middleweight (205 lb.) titles. Most recently, Henderson lost a hard fought, five round battle for the UFC light heavyweight title against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Prior to that fight, Henderson knocked out Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva, one of the most ruthless fighters in the history of MM A. The Fight: Silva can expect a f ull five round war and should pace himself accordingly. Although one of Silva's greatest strengths is his Muay Thai clinch, he should really avoid allowing Henderson to close the distance. The best place for Silva to win this fight will be standing up, delivering strikes from the outside and slowly working Henderson down. As precise a striker as Silva may be, Henderson's Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride granite chin will make it difficult for Silva to knock him out. Silva needs to capitalize on any mistakes and put together combinations if he expects to knock out Henderson. Although Henderson has never shied^ away from the stand-up game, he needs to keep in mind that Silva is one of the deadliest strikers in the business. Should he stand with Silva, Henderson should keep him in close prox- imity, where Silva's kicks, knees, and jabs are much less effective. Henderson will also find it much easier to deliver his devastating hooks when Silva is trying to separate. Henderson's GrecoRoman clinch will be his greatest source of control in the fight and his greatest defense against Silva's powerful knee strikes. Taking the fight to the ground where Silva is not as effective in dealing damage should be a key part of Henderson's strategy. Silva has not had to defend his title into the late fourth and fifth rounds, which is where Henderson should look to finish the fight. Prediction; Dan Henderson wins the middleweight title by way of knockout late in the fourth round.

But this week I want to talk about two great players who found a way to cheat the system and maybe the legal system. Both Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds have put up unbelievable numbers over the years in the pros, but those numbers appeared to be tampered. Bonds, the single season and career homerun leader in Major League Baseball, may have found a way to cheat the legal system like he has cheated baseball all these years. Bonds' legal team has found typos in the filing by prosecutors. Now Bonds may have found his scapegoat in perjury . and obstruction of justice charges. A typo in notes stating that Bonds failed a drug test in 2001 was the mistake, when the player called "Barry B." failed a drug test in 2000 in the BALCO reports. Here is my issue. Bonds you cheated, you got caught, now face the wrath. I understand that you deserve a fair trial and that you College Lif© BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every high school student dreams of graduating senior year and heading off to a new life in college, f ull of partying, meeting new people, getting a higher education, and of course no parents. Some schools have the reputation of being party schools; others have the reputation of being strictly education only. To be honest I didn't hear much about Cal State San Marcos other than that it was really new and I could get a good education. I moved down here from South Lake Tahoe, which is a real small town, especially compared to Southern California; so needless to say, it was a bit of a culture shock. My sister went to SDSU and it definitely had a great social atmosphere. When I moved here, I didn't get the same feeling; the city of San Marcos was no college town, to say the least. The longer I live here the more I notice that San Marcos is having trouble accepting that it is becoming a college town. I had heard that when San Marcos was first developing, it was a retirement community and now the older population is slowly being replaced by much younger families and college students. With all the rules and laws it looks like the transition from retirement community to college town is going to be a rough one. It seems as though the City of San Marcos is trying its best to make sure this town isn't "overrun" by college students, which is start- ing to really get to me. Anyone who lives in San Marcos or goes to this school knows that every year it is growing and bringing youth with it. Many like me whose home is too far to obviously live there and still attend CSUSM. So then arises the question: where do we live? There are the dorms which can only house so many, but other than that college students have to live off campus in residential areas f ull of families, which is you ask me is terrifying to any adult. So we move into houses and apartments and within the month—especially where my roommates and I live—there are already complaints. We party too much, we're up too late, there are too many cars parked outside, we're too loud, it goes on an on. The question is how do we solve this problem? I don't enjoy annoying the neighbors or making them mad, no one should, but we have no options but to live where we can, which happens to be next to families and older people. With many of the housing restrictions, it is hard to find places where you and a few roommates can live without bothering any neighbors. I feel that many adults see college students a's a problem, and yes, socially we can be at times, but we bring change. Whether it is a good change is hard to say right now, but this city will never know unless they give it a Chance. All I ask is that we are accepted with open arms and that this city can find a way to balance both its old ways and its new. A T ale Of TWO T ales want to be charged for a lesser Crime. But you lied under oath about taking steroids and you deserve to be punished for that. Face the facts, your defense might of caught a break in arguing for a fair trial, but it's to give up. You fought the law and the law is about to win. And stars and athletes can tell you about this decade; it is not paying to break the law. As for Clemens, give up the act. At first I didn't want to voice an opinion against you. But there is evidence and testimony that state that you were lying under oath and you deserve to go under to be in the same seat as Bonds. But now there is a photo of Clemens at the Jose Canseco party in 1998 that he wasn't at according to his testimony. Not just that, there is also testimony by his former friend and trainer Brian McNamee that Clemens approached him shortly afterwards about using steroids. Just looking at the 2000 season of Clemens should be evidence enough that he was using steroids. Early in the season he hit Mike Piazza in the head with a fastball. Then he knocked down Alex Rodriguez and argued about it afterwards. Then in the World Series, Piazza breaks his bat and Clemens throws it in Piazzas general direction clearing the benches as Piazza and Clemens exchanged finger pointing and words. All I am getting at is a clear history of a lack of anger management which is one of many side effects to using the juice. Clemens used it at some point in his life, if not for most of his later career. Now it is^pnly a matter of time before we have a new perjury and obstruction ofjustice case against Clemens. This makes Bonds and Clemens on the same boat of trying to cheat the system, being caught and more than likely failing to get into Cooperstown.

Daniel Day-Lewis is blistering as a lunatic in 'There Will Be Blood' and rightly takes his second Best Lead Actor. In addition, Javier Bardem's performance in 'No Country' is the best this year. He became the first Spaniard to win an Oscar for acting as he earned Best Supporting Actor. Though the Academy robbed 'Ratatouille' of a Best Picture nomination, the Disney/Pixar movie easily won for Best Animated Film. However, it really did not matter. 'No Country' was the guaranteed winner for Best Picture, and did just that. This, the finest work of Joel and Ethan Coen, also won them the Oscar for Best Director. Though there was little surprise in the ceremony, it was f un to watch. It was also great reminder of movies I still need to see. I hope that those who won or just received nominations continue to bring quality entertainment. Saturday night with Levi Levi goes 'Across the Universe1 BY LEVI MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Do you ever find yourself scanning the video aisles searching for a movie to satisfy your needs; well, the wait is over. In this column you will find my weekly recommendations on demand, satisfying your every movie desire and much more. "Across the Universe" is a movie that takes the era-defining music of The Beatles and portrays a story of love, passion, and chaos in the form of a musical. Now rather than describe the film chapter by chapter, I will go as far as to say that this film brings classic music to a new age, allowing both admirers from the past to indulge and sing-along while captivating new ones from the present. The main character, Jude, a young adult from Liverpool, travels "across the universe" in search of answers, running into situations and people that change him dramatically. The film utilizes music to define an era of war and radical change in society, but most importantly, it helps illustrate the importance of love and cherishing those special bonds of friendship. The film covers the life of a soldier, musician, artist and revolutionary. The music of The Beatles changed the face of the earth. By creating such a drastic change in people and society, The Beatles did what other bands had never done before. Hopefully this film entices you adequately enough to rent it. It's a must watch and more importantly, you don't want to feel left out at dinner conversations. Improving 'Oscar' nificance that viewers may not understand.

Green Mountain Cidery brews Woodchuck Draft Cider Granny Smith in Middlebury, Vermont. The brewery sits in a valley in the Green Mountains which have peaks over 4,000 feet. The brewery claims to be the #1 producer of premium alcoholic draft ciders in the U.S. They introduced the cider in 1997. The brewery holds multiple awards for its ciders. In addition, ABC Research Corporation in Gainesville, Florida, certified the brewery as gluten-free. The cardboard container holds six lucid green glass bottles. Lime green dominates the majority of the packaging while a forest green accents "edges. A cute little marmota, similar to a squirrel, sits on a rock stuffing his fuzzy cheeks with a granny smith apple on a green plain underneath a light blue sky. The bottles contain the same graphics. A shiny green bottle cap seals a cider with an alcohol by volume of 5%. The six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo. The cider pours smooth with no head. A thin lace resides as carbonated bubbles rise to the top but are trapped. The cider radiates a golden texture similar to ginger ale. It enters smooth and finishes powerfully, like Brut champagne. The Granny Smith apple infused cider really bites in the end, similarly to eating an actual Granny Smith apple. The cider leaves a little apple flavor on the tongue after passing through to the abyss and beyond. The light and unique flavoring of the cider should pair well with a light lunch e.g. club sandwich and chips, or possibly a dessert e.g. vanilla ice cream. Perhaps a treat for your significant other, loving family member, or a break from ordinary beers, experience the fruitfulness of Woodchuck Cider. unusual to get an order without sauce", You just got out of your late afternoon and I tell her class.

X IX NO. 5 NIU Campus Shooting Raises Safety Concerns Emergency Preparedness Urged by University Police BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 14, Northern Illinois University Graduate Student, 27-year-old Steven Kazmierczak, opened fire in a lecture hall on campus killing five students before turning the gun on himself. The next day, President Karen Haynes released a message to the campus community. "I know I speak for all of us that we feel great sadness and empathy for the students, faculty, staff and families of those personally affected by the tragedy at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Our sympathy goes out to them as they struggle to deal with the shock at such a sudden and violent loss to their community," President Haynes said. While questions regarding the motives of a student with no record of trouble and in good academic standing will likely go unanswered, administration is reaching out to students and fac- ulty to help focus on preventative measures. "We've had several systems in place even before Virginia Tech because we are such a newer campus," said University Police Department Emergency Manager, Dean R. Manship. "One thing people probably aren't aware of is that we have the ability to lock down pretty much all of our buildings from University police dispatch. So if we had some sort of situation like that, within two seconds they could click on one of their displays to lock down all the exterior doors for campus buildings and interior buildings for some of the newer buildings such as Markstein Hall." Manship stressed the need for students to program the University Police dispatch line (760-750-4567) into their cell phones in order to connect directly with University Police dispatch for a rapid response, rather than dialing 911 and being connected with the Highway Patrol. Students can also register for the emergency notification system at www.csusm.edu/ep to receive notifications only during an emergency. The system can notify students via cell phone, landline phones, text messages, and e-mail. The shooting rampage is the latest to plague the United States since last April's shooting at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University which claimed the lives of 32 people. See Shooting, Page 2 Greek Rush Week begins at CSUSM Interest in Greek life grows as campus expands BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer As another semester passes, comes the beginning of a new one, bringing new opportunities to make new friends and participate in social events. For those who do not know: fraternities and sororities on campus are beginning to grow more and more as the years go by, with new ones being started as our school begins to grow. Seeing this college grow so .quickly makes being a part of it even better. Fraternities and sororities give people, especially those new to Cal State San Marcos, the opportunity to meet new people and experience things they might not be able to anywhere else. Anyone who has been on campus has seen the letters and tables for the fraternities and sororities. This week kicks off the rush week for both fraternities and sororities — and an exciting one it will be. Below are the dates and times and a description of what events will be going on this week. These events help give insight into what these fraternities and sororities are all about. Be sure to check them out.

Vista, £2084 _ i E AE MSflHMH Controversial religious debates welcomed by students DY BCM ROFFEE BV DEN DnCCCC Pride Staff Writer Monday, Feb.18, 2008 - For nearly six hours, Cal State San Marcos was shaken up as the topic of Christianity and religion became the focal point for public discussion and debate on campus. Tom Short, a traveling speaker from Columbus, Ohio spoke about his Christian beliefs on the stairs between Academic Hall and Craven Hall between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Although CSUSM is no stranger to public expressions of beliefs and opinions, Mr. Short's showing was one of the largest the campus has seen in recent years. Drawing in hundreds of students throughout the course of the day, Short elicited impassioned debates from many otnHArifc resent. students pnrAOPnt Short touched on many issues ranging from evolution to homosexuality, at times provoking heated responses to his controversial statements. Those who disagreed were most often the ones first to speak out, while others simply listened on quietly. "I advocate that we convert the gay people," said Short. "Homosexuality is a sin." One student quickly replied, "That's according to the Bible. Why do they need to be saved because they're gay? Why do they need to be saved because of their sexual orientation?" Despite some of his inflammatory remarks, Short emphasized that he was not there to place judgment. However, students like Nastajja McDonald disagreed.

Short continued shortly thereafter following a brief conversation with campus police. Reactions were mixed among students in the audience. Sopmore Erika Ervin echoed the belief of many students in attendance saying, "While I do agree with some of what he is saying, I don't like his argumentative methods." Some students felt that Short's style was too confrontational and didn't necessar- 5 f from those things." freerom those things." Short will continue on to other college campuses to conduct similar demonstrations. More information Short's work can be found at www.shortreport.com.

The processor takes a few seconds and validates the transaction. Then a Cougar selects one or multiple sodas. The Cougar finishes by pressing the blue "Complete" button. The processor then displays a "Thank You." The processor does not print a receipt. Although various credit card and banking companies might have different methods of identifying the transaction, the transaction shows up as "Vend at Cola" on monthly billing statements. Not all Cougars are eager to use the new process. "I wouldn't use it because I am very skeptical. There are just so many ways that people can get your credit card information," said Senior Business Major Jillian Cox. Last semester Coca-Cola vending machines across the campus received an upgrade allowing Cougars to utilize credit cards in purchasing a soda. The card processing machine accepts credit cards or banking cards with credit card logos and does not require the insertion of a personal identification number. The addition happened over night and not all Cougars are aware of this new capability. "I didn't even know they had them but I would probably use them though," said Senior Biology Major Levi Williams.

Put away your Aqua Net and acid wash jeans and try being a real human being. Besides, now is the time to focus on the home front, before your proverbial French Virgo Love hurts. Not as much as friends talking smack, though. Because you can find 50 ways to leave your lover, but friends cling to you through the years.

With Rock Band containing 58+ tracks out of the box and Guitar Hero sporting 71+ tracks, you would think that the latter would be the victor when it comes to variety. But with downloadable songs every week, both games have the potential to be on top when it comes to variety. With a character creation feature, Rock Band players have a chance to rock out with their very own personalized avatar that excels at one particular role in the band. Which means, that while Guitar Hero players are limited to wailing on the guitar, Rock Band players have the freedom to choose a responsibility within the band: guitar, bass, drums, and (my personal favorite) vocals. There is so much substance to both games that make them great. But if there had to be one, I'd recommend Rock Band to anyone that could afford its hefty price tag (about $170 compared to Guitar Hero's $90). With the variety and varying difficulties of each instrument, Rock Band offers a multitude of possibilities with every new song pack that becomes available. While I respect both series, I would easily recommend Rock Band to anyone with a pseudodream of super rock stardom. Hookmh Lounge P ool T a b l e s A Case Against American Idol BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Despite being one of the most popular shows on television, I find "American Idol" to be flawed and self-righteous. At first, it may have been a good idea, but I grow tiresome of this program on FOX Network. For several reasons pertaining to the show itself and its negative influence on others shows as well as society, "American Idol" is a drain on the nation. First, the show is the same every year. Since its inception, copying the British show "Pop Idol," the program has consistently been the same. The formula is to get thousands of people in major cities across the nation and take a picture to give the illusion that FOX gives that many people the chance to compete. It would take months for all to sing in front ofthe infamous three judges, which means the show prescreens most contestants. The only ones who make it to the judges are the decent singers and of course, the bad. The show only gives the chance to these poor singers so that the rest of the nation can laugh at them, which is a pitiful way to boost one's ego. | Games G r e a t F ood O v e r 5 0 H o o k a h F lavor's As the show progresses, the judges 'cut the fat' as each week another singer is eliminated. The contestants face the wrath of the judges, who are stereotypical to a tee. There is the yuppie who never says anything bad, one who cannot stop saying 'dawg', and the last who is a miserable human being putting on the act that he is incapable of being pleasant. Finally, the judges say that each year the contestants are better despite the fact that only two relatively famous stars have come from the show, according to albums sold. "American Idol" is a repetitive process forced upon the nation each year to bring a new music 'sensation.' However, the show is responsible for more cultural problems in this country than musical talent. Singers on the show only survive if they put on proverbial blinders and sing only pop songs. This leads to people being uncreative and listening to only one type of music. In my opinion, rap and pop music are responsible for relaxed morals, including increases in promiscuity and drug use among young people. It is time for "American Idol" to take the blame for what is has done. M o n d a y N ight P ool T o u r n a m e n t D ally L unch a n d D inner S peclais H a p p y H our 4 : 0 0 - 6 : 0 0 P .

Beginning on Nov. 5,2007, the writers of television shows and motion pictures stopped working due to issues with DVD profits and credit for new media, which include Internet shows and 'on-demand' programs. The Eastern and Western Writers' Guilds laid terms for a new contract on February 10 and voted it in place two days later. According to the website for the Writers Guild of America, East, (WGAE) votes in favor of the new contract totaled an overwhelming 92.5%. The president of the WGAE, Michael Winship, said, "The commitment and solidarity of our members made it happen . .. our two unions stronger than ever." The members of the AMPTP, which include the Presidents and CEOs of entertainment studios, responded saying, "We hope now to focus our collective efforts on what this industry does best ... working together to deliver great content to our worldwide audiences." r Though the unions are pleased with the results, this strike did not come without its cost. One of the most prominent was the canceling of the Golden Globe ceremony. The shockwaves cost the city of Los Angeles $380 million, according to NPR, due to tourism loss as well as losses surrounding food and limo services and hotels. Also, studios may cut new shows that never got rolling, and the people who work undistinguished jobs behind the camera lost income. Both guilds and the AMPTP are looking to make the best of the situation and bringing entertainment back to the viewers. Leave the Sprinting to us.

This was without a doubt the most incredible performance this year. It is too bad the Academy did not nominate him for best male lead, because with his performance, his presence resonates even when he is off screen. Bardem has created a villain that can stand ground among the likes of Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, and Norman Bates. An honorable mention belongs to Gasey Affleck for his work in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," because he showed he has seri- ous acting skills, unlike his brother Ben. Best Male Actor Best Director Best Picture Best Female Actor "No Country for Old Men." What a surprise. There is not much more to say than this is a flawless film. To all who took part in the making of this movie: congratulations and thank you. Ellen Page for "Juno." This one is a call from my gut. Page gave a refreshing, yet smug, performance, and the Oscars have a tendency to favor young stars, such as in 1993 when Anna Paquin won best frnmt supporting female actor in "The 1 w m k Piano," and she was only 11-yearsold at the time.

They deserve this award due to their work with the story, the performances they got from the actors, and the making of another American cinema classic.

The contents in the bottle are sealed off with a glossy black bottle cap printed with the brewery's logo and name in flashy gold trim. The seven gold medal stout pours rich and creamy creating a three fourths inch thick head. Although the head gradually shrinks it remains for the entire duration. The stout darkens the glass with a near black eerie texture. Shockingly, the stout enters smooth and passes smooth. The climax occurs between sip and swallow with a slight tingle on the tongue. The tingle although meek in power, lingers in the mouth for several moments. Ultimately, an oak residue coats the tongue after the encounter. The week's stout offers a high ABV without offending the taste buds. The thick stout pairs well with heavy dinner entrees e.g. steak and potatoes.

Reed focused on California's recent budget cuts approved by the Board of Trustees in response to the $14.5 billion state budget deficit. In order to prevent the projected ten percent student fee increase, the CSU budget must accrue $73.2 million in addition to the already proposed $312.9 million cut. "This funding reduction comes only three years after our budget was reduced by over $500 million during the 2002-03 and 2004-05 fiscal years, which led to significantly reduced student access, as well as a. dramatic increase in student fees," Reed continued.

Because its in its first year, many people responsible for arranging the event were uncertain as to whether or not it would be successful. The event proved to be a memorable one for all students in attendance. "Greek Fair is a time for everyone to come together and have fun while learning about all of the different fraternities, sororities, and Greek organizations that we have to offer on our campus," stated Alex Hand, a sophomore and member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Throughout the fair, students received free food, participated in games, and live entertainment. Food ranged from free popcorn, Pat and Oscars salads to Little Caesars pizza. The fair festivities began when people started playing the games, which included: football and soccer ball contests, and a strength pole to see who could Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride With a variety of exciting activities, the Greek fair drew the attention of CSUSM students during U-hour hit it the hardest with a large hammer. Local radio station, 91X, was in attendance to play music for surrounding listeners. Besides all of the fun, the fair was a great time for interested students learn about Greek life at CSUSM. Each fraternity and sorority passed out fliers and other information in order to notify and recruit passing students about their organizations. "This isn't a time for each sorority or fraternity to be competing against one another to see who can recruit more students; it is a time for people on campus to learn more about the Greek life that we have at our school and see if they might be interested in joining it." Said Alpha Chi Omega member Lauren Cerruti. The Greek fair was also an appropriate lead into Rush Week (beginning Feb. 18). While each Greek organization puts on different events throughout the week, Rush Week is a time for students to choose which fraternity or sorority they would like to join. Due to the success of the Greek fair, the event will likely become a tradition on campus for years to come. Primaries bring political activity, discussion to CSUSM BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer It was an exciting week for politics at Cal State San Marcos as the biggest day in the presidential primary season, Super Tuesday, came and went, stimulating a flurry of activity on campus. As polling places like the one on campus were shutting down across the state, CSUSM students flocked the Grand Salon at the Clarke Field House Tuesday, Feb. 5, for a Super Tuesday viewing party from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Hosted by the American Democracy Project and the University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), the event featured live CNN coverage of Super Tuesday results and free food for those in attendance. An open-microphone made its way around the room giving students the opportunity to share their opinions about the candidates, important political issues, as well as any other opinions about the overall state of the nation. "I want to be proud of my country again," said a student in the audience. Commentary was not limited to those who dared to offer their opinions on the microphone. Large pieces of paper representing a variety of political issues adorned the walls of the Grand Salon and bore the written opinions of those in attendance. Brief dialogues would emerge on these message boards as people responded to comments made by others. On the topic of immigration, one student anonymously wrote, "America was founded on immigration. While it is a problem that people are coming over illegally, should it really be our main focus?" An arrow pointed to a comment from another individual Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride Students express political views and opinions at Super Tuesday viewing party ___ read, "Yes. These immigrants come to our country and (often times) are only here to better their lives. What good is it letting our population grow if it isn't going to benefit everyone. We must slow this expansion down before it's too late." Even after Super Tuesday passed, the activities at CSUSM continued throughout the week. On Feb. 7, during University Hour, The Political Science Club hosted Dr. Shana Bass in part of its "Pizza and Politics" series. Dr. Bass, a professor from the Dept. of Political Science, offered in-depth analysis of the Super Tuesday results for both sides of the aisle.

Tickets for the Mar. 15 cocktail party became available for free to students beginning 8 a.m. on Tuesday and were sold out by 10 a.m. the following day. The kick off event provided students with free food and drinks to commemorate the beginning of ticket distributions. Spring Fling will take place on the San Diego Harbor Excursion yacht off San Diego harbor from 8:30 p.m. to 11:55 p.m. The three-storied boat features a live DJ, bars serving refreshments and appetizers; and a casino with blackjack, roulette and Texas Hold'em. Guests can use fake money while gambling with a chance to win a trip for two to Laughlin or a gift card to Chili's restaurant. Although tickets to the event have sold out, tickets for the party bus are still available. Party bus tickets are $20 a person and are available to both students and guests. The bus will go roundtrip from CSUSM to the San Diego harbor and will return following the event. Party Bus tickets are available in the ASI Business Office, FCB 103. "The boat has a capacity of 500 so there is absolutely no way to release more. The question that I keep getting is how do I get a ticket? I know a lot of people bought extra tickets, you were allowed to buy up to three, so my advice is ask around. There is also a Facebook event people can join to ask others for tickets," said ASI Programming Board Social Events Specialist, Molly Durham. �Tuesday; February 12, 2008 From BUDGET, page 1 T HE^PRIDE byRthe legislature." vitality of CSU eed stressed the i lillil system and its direct impact on the economy.

With Mitt Romney's suspension of his campaign, the Republican race narrowed, leaving John McCain as the clear front-runner. As Dr. Bass noted, come-from-behind victories by Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul are highly unlikely. While the Republican primaries yielded a clear victor in McCain, the results on the Democratic side were much different. "What happened to the Democrats in California is really interesting and what happened to Democrats across the country is also really interesting," said Dr. Bass. After the dust had settled, Super Tuesday gave no strong advantage to either Barack Obama -or Hillary Clinton. Making sure to include the audience in the discussion, Dr. Bass asked for opinions on how the candidates reacted to the outcome of Super Tuesday. "They both postured," said student Tawn Kent. "One said they clearly had the largest number of votes and the other said they had greater support in a larger number of states." While Clinton seized the most delegates, winning the biggest prize of the night in California, she won in fewer states than Obama, a clear indication that the primary nomination would most likely be fought for all the way to the national convention. Delegate counts differed among publications, mainly due to differences in regards to socalled "super delegates." Obama narrowed Clinton's lead over the weekend with convincing wins in the Lousiana primaries and the caucuses in Washington, Nebraska, and Maine. The Clinton campaign predicts victories in the late Ohio and Texas contests should negate Obama's February comeback. Dinner Etiquette for all Cougars 4 M ock Dinner promises "no risk" learning experience BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Feb. 28, an etiquette dinner aimed to teach the formalisms of business dinners and proper restaurant etiquette will be held for students at the I WNSÎGMOÎ'EÁITÓALS XTPMMT Lake San Marcos Country Club. the The The event, sponsored by Associated Students Incorporated (ASI), _ ; J * * ' & e- ' e#térj ' welcomes all Cougars regardless H should incltide a ddress,!i of year or major. teJephoite namber, p riait "A communication major could «IÌ4 iAenááMWAi^ L etters benefit because they will have to n jayfeeeaitedfor g rammar a nd leögtb, ' Lettbt. should ¡ ï p ^ represent the opinions communicate with everybody and know how to act properly (at formal business dinners)," said Freshman, Brian Burrows. The dinner provided consists of a four-course meal equivalent to $35. "I think any major would benefit from the event. There are a million ways to drive a car but there is a right way. Proper etiquette shows that people of all backgrounds took the time to learn how to be formal. For example, if you go to another country with baggy pants and a t-shirt you might accidentally disrespect someone. The way you eat at home may not be the proper way to carry yourself at a formal dinner. You could make people feel uncomfortable in that setting. There are formalities that you need to know, regardless of your major," said Junior and Nursing Major, Angel Castañeda. Due to the popularity of the event, interested Cougars are encouraged to reserve their place immediately by visiting the Career Center in Craven Hall 1400. Res- ervations are $10. (Cancellations are non-refundable after Feb. 15.) "All majors, including Literature and Writing Studies majors, should know how to act in a formal setting. It is a really good deal and a great opportunity to only pay $10 while getting a country club four-course dinner," said Junior and Literature and Writing Studies Major, Brian Mann.

Here's a look at who should've been hired for the head coaching positions and the new coaches being hired as upcoming head coaches for the teams that continuity applied to in the Redskins, Colts, and Seahawks. Washington Redskins- Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams hired in 2004, who appeared to be the front runner to take over as head coach after Joe Gibbs retired in Dec. Williams was head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 2001-2003, and compiled a record of 17-30 before being fired. You would expect owner Daniel Snyder to try and make a splash and hire a big name coach like he recently did with Gibbs, but Gibbs told Snyder after he retired that continuity is extremely important and will not set back the organization in a major way. Clearly that's not what happened, when the Redskins unexpectedly fired Williams, who is now the defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Indianapolis Colts- Tony Dungy is a spiritual and calm man that has been contemplating his retirement as head coach for the past three years after his team's season has completed. Dungy admitted that he did not want to coach past 50, he is now 51 and again decided that he will return to coaching, for at least one more year. When Dungy does retire, he will be praised for being a great coach and an even better man that deserves nothing but respect. The man that was recently tabbed to be the next head coach is current QB coach and assistant head coach, Jim Caldwell. Caldwell was one of the hottest names out there to be a head coach arid has interviewed for at plethora of head coaching vacancies, before being named future head coach of the Colts. Caldwell, hired in 2001, has head coaching experience as the Wake Forest head coach from 1993-2000, and has developed 6'5 230 lb. laser rocket arm QB Peyton Manning into the superstar that he is. Seattle Seahawks- Mike Holmgren has also been looking into his future the past couple years. The window is closing in on the aging Seahawks, who have won four straight NFC West championships. Watch out for those 49ers, HA! The Seahawks have absolutely no running game anymore, with Shaun Alexander aging in front of ours eyes, with two injury-plagued years since his phenomenal MVP year. The coach that will take over is defensive back coach Jim Mora, former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, who wasfiredextremely too early. Smart move Atlanta that Petrino hire really worked out didn't it? * Mora was also the former defensive coordinator of the 49ers, should've hired him instead of that bum Dennis Erickson. Jim Mora Jr. also from the Washington area, and his alma mater is the University of Washington, he has head coaching experience, and has head coaching lineage in that his father, Jim Mora Sr. famous for the "PLAYOFFS? You're talking about PLAYOFFS?" line, was former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Cougar Baseball: Week in Review BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer The Cougars split their two games this week, beating Point Loma (5-2) and losing to UCSD (3-2). to make their record (3-5) in the young season. In the first game of the week, the Cougars handed Point Loma their second straight loss to the Cougars, 8-5. Point Loma struck first with a lead off double by RF Kaohi Downing, who scored on a double play by CF Kurt Steinhauer. The Cougars came back swinging in the top of the 2 , with three runs on two hits. Leading off the top of the 2 , CF Tristan Gale hit his third home run of the year to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. DH Terry Moritz then hit a two-out two-run home run to right to extend the Cougars lead to 3-0. SP Eric Julienne had a strong start, winning his first game of the year, allowing just three runs on six innings pitched with three strike outs and two walks given up. The Cougars would tack on three more runs in the top of the 7 . RF Jared Suwyn continued his hot play going 3-4; with his biggest hit being a tworun single to LF scoring two runs in the three-run inning. P Grant Harrell and Jared Suwyn combined for 2 2/3 of one-hit baseball to nd nd th close out Point Loma 8-5 for the Cougars third win of the year. > In the second game of the week, the Cougars faced the #15 ranked team in the nation Div. II's UCSD. The Cougars and UCSD matched each other 3-3 by the end of the 3 inning. UCSD struck first with a two-run bottom 1 of the 1 inning. DH Franco hit a twoout two-run home run to right field. CF Tristan Gale hit his second home run of the week and fourth of the year to lead off the top of the 2 inning. LF Austin Way would constitute, as the last run the Cougars would score this game with a lead off home run in the top of the 3 . UCSD would break the game open with back-to-back two-run innings in the bottom of the 5 and 6 . RBI singles from CF/LF Domanic and 2B Imesori would lead to the two-runs scored in the bottom of the 5 for UCSD. In the bottom of the 6 , a lead-off double by 3 baseman Bono would start off another two-run inning ending with a RBI's from CF Burke and SS Albitz to make the game 7-3. The Cougars struggled to stop the offensive attack by UCSD using seven pitchers with the longest outing of the seven to be 2 2/3 innings by P Johnny Holtman. The seven pitchers combined to give up 10 runs and 15 hits. The Cougars fall to (3-5) on the season while UCSD is now (3-2). rd st nd rd th th th Point Loma 5 rd Plestse recycle this OA I j $NMT I S «M» mm Baseball th S irPRDAYI �Surf team has best season yet Solid performances help surf team capture second place in conference rankings BY AMBER PUHA Pride Contributor This weekend, the regular season for the National Scholastic Surfing Association College Team Season, concluded at Huntington Beach's 9th Street beach. CSUSM posted a 3rd place finish wrapping up a record best season. With a 2nd place overall finish in the conference ratings, participants from CSUSM posted two 2 place finishes, one 1 , and one third. Prior to this season, CSUSM's best ever single event finish was a 4th. This marks a major break through in the team's 8 year history, and marks its arrival as a serious competitive threat to the larger, beach located schools such as UCSB and UCSD. Thanks to the financial support of Hansen's Boardroom, CSUSM will enter the state championships as the number two seed. UCSB was dominant all nd st season, only faltering with a 3rd place at home, at C Street in Ventura. Otherwise, UCSB posted 1st places. (Two of their three wins came with comfortable margins,) But, CSUSM was nipping at UCSB's heals at the first event of season at La Jolla Blacks Beach, taking second by only a 1/2 of a point. Beside UCSB, the only other team to beat CSUSM this season was Mira Costa College. Mira Costa came on strong down the stretch when the twins, Julian and Alex Ganguli, returned to school and collegiate competition in the spring semester. In the final event of the season, Alex led Mira Costa Red to a second place. « The final weekend of competition was both interesting and exciting for CSUSM. Team anchor Scott McBride exited early, as did Ventura event winner Garrett James. Season standout Chris Smith also didn't have his best event, and Aaron Coyle was unable to compete. This put the final outcome in the hands of Timmy Long and Paul Brandlin (freshman), Sean Hastings (senior), and the ladies Erin Lewis and Lauren Nutter. Pressure seemed no problem for these five as they maintained the determination to keep CSUSM on the podium for the 4th consecutive event. Long looked snappy and vertical in the beach break conditions. Long had a best ever performance in the shortboard men's division, advancing through four rounds of competition to earn 9th place. Brandlin hada sluggish start in round one, but stepped it up after that. He won all his remaining heats until just missing advancement into the shortboard men's final earning 7th place. Brandlin and Long were the top point getters earning 23 points each. Hastings, who also looked quick and snappy in the beach break conditions, showed his determination to make the most of his senior year. He has now seen back to back quarterfinal appearances. The ladies made a point of redeeming themselves after early exits at Ventura. Freshman, Lauren Nutter, charged through two rounds of competition earning 9th. Erin Lewis charged through 3 rounds of competition and qualified for the women's final. CSUSM entered thefinalswith 113 points tied for 2nd place with Mira Costa College. The only problem was that Mira Costa managed to qualify three people for the finals, while CSUSM only had Lewis remaining. At this point, Mira Costa's second placefinishwas foregone conclusion. Lewis however staved off the attack from Point Loma and UCSD to move into 3rd with her 5th place finish in the women's final. UCSB finished first in the event, Mira Costa took second, and CSUSM placed third. Another highlight ofthe season was longboarder Christian Clark, who surfs for CSUSM B team. He made every final event this season, earning 4th, 1st, 3rd and 2nd respectively. He has been the anchor for the CSUSM B team and a serious threat to upset in the longboard division all season long. CSUSM B team surfer Derek Vaickus also had a breakout event with his round three appearance. These two buoyed the B team and kept them on track to qualify for the state championships. CSUSM B earned 12th place in the last event of the season out of 25 teams. State Championships will be on Friday, March 7th at Churches Beach in San Onofre.

In game one, freshman pitcher, Breanna Sandberg allowed only four hits in a fiveinning complete game shutout, allowing for the Cougar offense to go to work at the plate.

Sandberg held Bethany scoreless, striking out six en route to the Cougars 10-0 win. The Cougars followed suit in game two, utilizing solid pitching to capture another huge victory.

With a nickname like CSU Stair Master, most students are able tofightoff the "freshman 15" by simply going to class. However, besides the wide variety of stairs it has to offer, CSUSM also has a wide variety of resources and services dedicated to keeping its students healthy. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) for instance is dedicated to keeping you at the top of your game. As stated in their mission, the goal of the SHCS team is "to provide quality medical care that allows students to perform optimally, physically, and mentally; and to enhance their academic and intellectual potential." The staff includes medical and administrative professionals and the facility even includes a low-cost pharmacy. A student is able to schedule an appointment with a Doctor, Nurse, Counselor or Health Educator, Monday through Friday from 8am-4:45pm. SHCS is located just across the street from campus on the corner of Craven and Twin Oaks. For more information regarding SHCS visit the website at http://www.csusm.edu/shcs/. fight Another resource dedicated to a healthier you are the athletic facilities available at the Clarke Field House. The right to use this facility is paid for in part with your tuition every semester, so why not take advantage of it? The Clarke offers a full gym with everything from stationary bikes, to treadmills and free weights to weight machines, Also available to use is both outdoor and indoor volleyball courts. When asked how he liked working out at the Clarke, CSUSM student Travis Wilson said, "[it's a] great place to go work out and socialize with people you might not normally see other places." Wilson also referred to The Clarke as "its own little work out community". The healthy student isn't complete without something healthy to eat on campus. Believe it or not, there are a few places to eat these things. The Dome for instance offers a full salad and soup bar and even has fresh fruit in the University Store, At the University Village Apts. Brian Dawson and family make sure that their students are fed at least one night a week. On Mondays, Dawson usually prepares a meal for 200+ starving college students, ensuring that they are eating healthy and socializing with fellow students. There are also plans in the work for a Student Union which would offer a much wider variety of food to students on campus sometime in the near future, So yes, you should continue to book it up those stairs on the way to class to off the beer belly. But you should also be sure to take advantage of the other resources dedicated to your health along the way. After all, you're only in college once; you should make sure your body makes it out alive.

He definitely did have tech-experts resolved as he waved around a manila envelope leaving us to wonder with anticipation whatever was inside. What he revealed was nothing short of Apple's trademark hype-machine as he pulled out the all-new MacBook Air, the world's thinnest laptop computer and the crown jewel of this year's conference. Granted this new rig is a slick piece of hardware, the question is does it warrant its $1800 price tag? In case anyone is wondering, the MacBook Air is slim, and when I say it's slim, I mean ridiculously slim. Some of the exterior features are a 13.3-inch LED-backlit screen with built-in iSight and mic, 0.76 inches at its thickest and it weighs about three pounds. The weight is somewhat unexpected upon first glance, but that just enhances the sturdiness and mobility of the design. The aluminum chassis is solid with aerodynamic curves and no protrusions, but also it's functional to keep to laptop cool. Its trackpad is a lengthy five inches but there is a reason why. Inside, it sports an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive that clocks in at 4200 rpm. This may seem a little underwhelming considering the older Macbook Pro has a base 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive. However, a 64GB solid state drive (SSD) is an option which conserves power, doesn't spin or heat up and costs an additional $1000. That's right; a $1000 upgrade. I assumed a compact design meant a more compressed keyboard, but lo and behold, opening the laptop reveals a fullsize functional, backlit keyboard. Getting back to that trackpad, aside from normal rotating and pinching, it incorporates new fingering such as a threefinger gesture that enables people to move back and forth on a web browser, which is handy. What makes the MacBook Air such a difficult sell right now is the exclusion of an optical drive. For those who need it, Apple suggests the USB 2.0 SuperDrive available for $99 (yes, another upgrade). It is nice that the laptop has a remote disc function, which detects and runs optical drives from otherMacs or PCs via Bluetooth just as long as it's within the its network, so ^ stalling apps and file-sharing is fine/Still, not having t hatdrivethere is awkward, especially for those who use it for streaming DVDs and music. The ports are nice, but unfortunately the number is inadequate, especially for those that dig that multiple connectivity. The drop-out port has the USB 2.0, a microDVI and headphone jack to go along with the MagSafe power port. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity is absolutely reliant since there is no Ethernet port built in. Having said all of that, it is slim. And it is a Mac. Yes, it is portable and stylish because Apple wouldn't want people to have it any other way. Still, for the $1800 price tag plus additions, I'd say either wait for it to go down or go out and get a MacBook Pro instead. With all those extra accessories to lug around, whether you are a student or avid traveler, there isn't any definitive reason to shell out that much money for something this small. But hey, it IS slim. rdversityVi 'My reaction to the Presidential Primary cm Tuesday vas that I was not surprised by the turn out of fared Anderson Freshman "I was really excited & glued to the TV. because of Super Tuesday.

By slight, I only mean over ten feet of new snow that has buried most ofCalifornia's resorts beginning in early January. It all started over the holiday season, when ski resorts were struggling to cover their trails with the small amount of manmade snow they had to work with, in order to accommodate the holiday crowds. Now it has turned into something entirely different. "We went from scavenging snow all over the mountain to get the coverage we needed—to having to push the snow off the trails and chairlifts so that the mountain could operate," said Jim Larmore, Snow Surfaces Director at Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, CA. The inconceivable part is that a great majority of this snow fell over the month of Jan. In fact, meteorologists are reporting a 2008 record snowfall for the month of January. According to "onthesnow. com," the biggest current base depth is reported at 165" at Squaw Valley, USA. No, that was not a typo—165 inches of snow— which is close to 14 ft. That much snow gives the term "freshies" a whole new meaning. Other mountains in the area report similar data, ranging anywhere from 78" on Sierra at Tahoe to 140" at Mammoth Mountain. Then there is the local favorite, Bear Mountain, which currently reports a base depth of 36-48". Still not bad considering that you could hit up Bear in the morning and go surfing in the afternoon. So what should all this mean to you? It means grab a few friends, pick up a pair of snow chains and take a road trip of a lifetime. If you are just planning a day trip, Bear Mountain might be the way to go. But you should know that taking a weekend to head up to Mammoth or Tahoe is well worth it. When asked to describe the current conditions in Lake Tahoe, Larmore said, "this is the best skiing we've had in a number of years." Just how many years that was, well, Larmore said it was reminiscent to "back in the 80s." To put it more simply, this might be one of the biggest ski seasons any of us have experienced in a lifetime. But wait a second, you're still a poor college student right? There is still a way to get yourself up the mountain without having to sell all your books back midway through the semester. First of all, borrow equipment (boots, board, jacket, as much as you can). If not, rental equipment and or clothing should cost no more than $40 a day. The cost that is going to hit the hardest is lift ticket prices. It'll be hard to find a full day price under $60. Luckily there are places like Mt. Rose that know the extent of what's in your pocket. Rose hooks it up with student days ($29/day) and "ladies days" where all ladies ski for $19. A lot of other places offer group rates and weekend package deals. This is the time to "shred." With much of the season left and at the rate that snow is accumulating, the next 4 months could be the time as well. Ski bums would agree with Larmore, that "this should be one of the better endings we've had in many years." "We are planning on extending our season two-three weeks, The backside of Mammoth Mountain on a bluebird day. At top, a skier at Mammoth Mountain geting the infamous powdershot, possibly to the end of May," said Larmore. But, if you don't get a chance to strap-up by then, Mammoth should be lasting until its infamous Fourth of July closure date.

Best Sports Movies BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer What a crazy week it has been for me. Tuesday night I was at the Gaslamp for Mardi Gras. Wednesday was the start of lent where I have 40 days without booze, soda or fast food. Then on Thursday the bug hit me and I was stuck in bed for the weekend. Being stuck in bed for four days, allowed me to watch a bunch of movies, mainly sports films. This led me to this week topic: the top ten sports movies of all time. 10. Remember the Titans. A movie that shows - a team find faith in each other while their community would not. 9. Jerry Maguire. This film brought up the greed and selfishness of players in sports, while brought humor at the same time. Plus, when you think of this film what comes to mind? Guaranteed it is, "Show me the money!" 8. Field of Dreams. This film brings so much more to life than just the game. The film will eventually climb my ladder and move into the top five when I get a little bit older and have kids of my own. 7. The Natural. Everything that goes wrong in an athletes career happens, but a man battles back to get everything he had ever loss. And there is no cheesier ending to a sports movie then this one, but that is what makes it so great. 6. Mystery Alaska. A classic hockey movie that shows what a small town hockey team can do when they are up to the challenge. It is a true hockey game on the pond that brings an amateur hockey team against the New York Rangers. 5. Hoosiers. The greatest basketball movie ever made. An undisciplined team gets light from an unusual coach. A huge underdog team tries to make a run at a state championship in Indiana. 4. Rocky. The beginning of what becomes one of the greatest collection of films. The theme for a great sports movie is to have an underdog story, and this is probably one of the greatest underdog stories of all times. 3. Slap Shot. Probably one of the most of the best slap stick comedy sports films out there. But there are no better one liners •and raunchy humor than this movie brings to the picture. 2. Bull Durham. A love triangle that has an experienced catcher, a wild pitcher and a loving groupie who gives the two the love and advice they need. L Miracle, There is not a more famous quote in the sports world than A1 Michaels, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" Of course I am going to have a hockey movie as my number one, and yes I have three in my top ten. But Miracle is a'film that shows how a country that needed a miracle got a hockey game.

The harmonious and self-proclaimed "original gangster from Cleveland," Bushwalla counts his past 22 years of performance as merely the foundation for his current career status. At the youthful age of nine, Bushwalla, or back then known as William D. Galewood, joined "Kids on Broadway," (a live musical theater group for youth) in which his love for performing, acting, singing, and bringing joy into the lives of others was first actualized. Rocking the mic around town and across the nation, the former clown (yes, a professional clown for 8 years) beat-boxes and entertains at anywhere from low-key house shows to playing international festivals with his roomie and longtime friend, Jason Mraz. This past weekend, I had the lovely opportunity to catch up with Bushwalla for a brief interview in the sun, overlooking the Oceanside Pier, as we contemplated the fate of the shabby house whose glory days of being in "Top Gun" have long gone. I have also been fortunate to attend several of Bushwalla's shows as of late, as he is wrapping up a month-long M Sunday night residency at Mueller College, across the street from the former Twiggs Green Room down in University Heights. Don't worry; you can still catch him there this upcoming Sunday! Each show not only encouraged my obsession for live music, but it transformed me into a pivotal element in the show itself. You see, should you be so lucky to partake in a Bushwalla experience—and I should hope you would—you would quickly find that audience participation at shows is not only encouraged, it's mandatory! At any Bushwalla show, you might be pleasantly surprised to find Bushwalla trying to balance his guitar on his chin, and walk across the audience's chairs with everyone still seated—among other humorous antics—all of which cement his showmanship, his talent, and his affair with improv. Therefore, without further ado, the following is an excerpt from the wildly amusing and singular interview with Bushwalla. The Pride: How did you come up with the name Bushwalla? Bushwalla: I used to listen to the Ghetto Boys when I was 16 years old. They had this guy, Bush with Bill, and I had a system in my car so I'd bump [it], and my friends started calling me Bush with Billy. So, when I moved to New York to go to school, I went to the orientation and I walk in and I hear "Bushwick!" and I'm like "what?" It was a guy from Cleveland, so then my friends up there started calling me Bushwick. And then I teamed up with Mraz and eventually we were writing together one day and he goes, "Dude, you can't be Bushwick, there already is one," and so I said, "What about Bushwalla?", and it was as simple as that. I didn't think twice about it. Maybe if I would have known then what I know now, I might not have chosen Bushwalla. It's a blessing and a curse. But what's in a name? You know what I mean? I could easily do the same thing under any name. The Pride: What has been the biggest personal transformation in your music so far? Bushwalla: Repetition, playing with different people, doing as many shows as I try to do, and confidence. The more confidence you have, the cooler you look. And I don't mean ego, I don't mean you're up there going "I'm awesome." It's a confidence you say to yourself. Affirmations are a big thing for me. It's all about taking down the fourth wall and being one with the audience, experiencing it with them. I think the discovery of that, that they're as much my audience as I am their audience—if I can get on a ride with them and we can surf together the hour I'm on stage—that's what it is, and that's where confidence comes from. The Pride: Tell me about your new album. Bushwalla: The new album is called "Autodidactical, Freestyle, and Radical." Autodidactical isn't really a word. It's kind of like a made up word, and I wrote it in a song years ago. "Autodidact" means self-taught, which I am. And "freestyle" is basically how I live my life, how I live my shows, it's just how we all should be doing it. "Radical" is just like radical thinking; the album is radical. It really captures the Bushwalla mentality, Photo by Maryam Bushwalla serenading local coffeeshop-goers at Hot Monkey Love Cafe the comedy, the seriousness. The guy who produced the album, Andre DeSantanna, put his touch on the whole thing. He really let it evolve into an art piece and not just another merch item. I think it's a very honest album. I don't think there's a single; I don't even know what a single is. But I'll tell you what, I think every one of them is a song that someone could respond to. Like you may not like tracks one to eight, but you might really dig nine. The Pride: How many tracks are on the new album? lesson? Don't die your hair pink. I was going for another color, but it ended up that way. Live life. Live high. Experience. College gives you amazing things. Independence; that's what I got from college. I met some of the best friends I have to this day in college. It was the seed that planted my adult life. I went to New York and got crazy for two years, and learned how to write songs. I didn't have to try to be what I thought I was supposed to be. i man, Jason Mraz; and he is not only a great friend of mine, he's a fantastic artist. It's going to be done on recycled, biodegradable paper with vegetable oil ink—totally green. Like when we put the album together, I said if there is one thing I want, I want it to be a green album. I went to San Francisco and did the Green Festival, and it's very important to me to not contribute to the waste. Bushwalla: You know, some things in life you don't know— you just trust. I don't know why I make music. If you asked me why I made music, I'd have no idea. If you talked to any of the surfers in front of us, they could try to explain to you what surfing means to them, but the only true answer is what's happening inside of them right now while they're on that board. And it's like after I'm done making music or doing a show, you just go back. But maybe if I stopped in the middle of a show, and you asked me that question, I'd probably be able to answer it, or I wouldn't even have to because you would just see what it meant to me. It's part of breathing. It's part of me. If I were to cut off music in my life, I would be an amputee. I would be disabled. There is no other option than performing [for me]. Performing is music, magic and making peace. Bushwalla: There are 11 listed, and then there are some surprises. I would say the last week of March it will be available online, on iTunes, CDBaby.com, bushwalla.net, a link through MySpace, and through live shows.

The biggest walla.net �Dramas mistaken for comedies BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer For the sake of increasing appeal, a rising trend in Hollywood is to market a film to suit viewer taste. As comedies are a more popular genre, marketers and critics label films as such. Calling serious movies 'laughout-loud' is gross misrepresentation. Most of these films have some moments to laugh at, either to break the tension, or if a situation is farfetched, or because they are stories of real life, which is a comical event. Therefore, I chose to re-label these films as dramas with comedic moments. Though this is not exclusive to the twenty hundreds, I will use recent films to make my point. The first is "Sideways." Even though this 2004 movie includes witty banter between Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, as well as a funny moment about a car and a tree, this is not a comedy. When analyzed, the content of this film is serious and at times dark. It is not right to treat the topics of infidelity, betrayal, and substance addiction so lightly. Theflawsof both characters are not laughing matters. Following that in 2006 was "Little Miss Sunshine." Those who disbelieve, stay in your seat while I explain why it is unreasonable for this movie to garner a nomination for the Golden Globe for 'Best Comedy.' The moments of comedy occur because some scenes are uncomfortable and laughter is either needed to break the tension or because it is the easiest reaction to feel, especially in a movie with Steve Carell. This movie is 100% drama. Consider the themes of suicide, bankruptcy, heroin addiction, depression, and death. I find it hard to even chuckle at any of these situations, which makes me wonder why so many critics called it the funniest movie of the year. Finally, I find it fitting to mention last year's "Juno." The tagline reads 'a comedy about life and the bumps along the way.' I find this far from the truth. Juno's smug attitude only earns an occasional laugh. However, I enjoyed this film because of the great story about teen pregnancy and relationships. These issues therefore make this a drama. That is not to say I did not like the films, for it is quite the contrary. I t is that I appreciated them on the level I saw them, not the way a money-hungry marketer told me to like it.

Star Brand Imports of White Plains, New York, handles importing the brewery's beer. The brewery brews the ale slowly and all naturally as they have done for over 360 years. The brewery has a long and perplexing history. Thefirstofficial document regarding the brewery dates back to 1634. The brewery was originally a monastery establishment that produced strong beer to aid the pain in fasting. In 1780, the monastery received official permission to sale their beer. In 1806 and under new ownership once again, the brewery began to expand. In 1844, the brewery escaped devas- ^ tation during a revolt against the prince in Munich. In 1881, the brewery begins to utilize the invention of the ice machine to enable them to produce beer year-round. In 1986, they brew the world'sfirstalcohol-free wheat beer. In 2005, they brew the world'^ first alcohol-free yeast-based white beer. Throughout the years the brewery has experienced vast expansion and numerous ownership changes. The website also hosts an interesting yet questionable timeline about the history of beer. For example, they claim in 1500 BC "According to the Egyptian mythology the God Osiris, God of agriculture, taught man the art of brewing beer. The Egyptians learn how to brew beer by allowing barley to germinate in pots and the malt mash to ferment through wild yeast andfinallyrefining the taste of their beer with date sauce." The cardboard container holds six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The six pack retails for $8.99. The container portrays a snapshot of a family enjoying the outdoors amongst a snow capped Munich. The bottles contain the same imaging. A white bottle cap with the company's logo caps an ale with an alcohol by volume of 5.5%. The ale pours semi-smooth generating a half inch thick head. The head remains trapping in an assortment offlavors.The ale has a murky golden hue common of hefeweizen styled ales. A faint aroma arises from the glass. The ale enters gently. Small packets of taste gingerly massage the mouth. The ale passes leaving a supple wheat tasting residue for an extended amount of time. The soft nature of the ale ensures a pleasant pairing with almost any lunch or dinner item. As always, please enjoy responsibly. On Wednesday, February 13 , student residents can take part in a speed-dating event entitled, 'Come Single, Leave Lucky.' Tables will be up set so that young men and women can pair together and chat for a few minutes and try to make a connection for the most romantic holiday of the year. Recent conferences to share program ideas inspired this event.. As well as a chance to meet a special someone, there will also be hors d'oeuvres th and'mock tails'to refresh flirting people who grow weary. Conrad Ottey, an RA, says, "Our goal is that people get to know each other. It is not just about a love connection, but students getting to meet others." Nick Falconer, a student who plans on attending says, "I hope to meet more than a few new ladies, but having a good time is most important." Based on the success of the program, it may become a yearly tradition.

X IX N O. 1 Primary election season intensifies with voting BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Big plans for Black Student Union BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer A fter spending last semester resurrecting the Black Student Union, a forward looking attitude and a revamped sense of involvement could bring success to this growing group of African American students at Cal State San Marcos this spring. Under the motto, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude," the BSU is stepping out of the shadows intent on becoming an integral part of the CSUSM campus community. Having overcome the financial obstacles that stifled previous manifestations of the BSU, the new and improved BSU unveiled a calendar loaded with events and activities for the coming month at their Jan. 31 weekly meeting. Involvement is something that will be central to the BSU's ambitions this semester as they do more than simply step out into the campus community. Bringing in representatives from ASI and the Women's Center to their meeting, the BSU is making an effort to work with other campus organizations tq bring the entire campus together. "I think it's more important for us to not just stay BSU in and of itself, but let everyone see us," said BSU President Sherray-Blythe to the group. "If you didn't want to get involved, you wouldn't be here" In their biggest event of the month, the BSU will put on a dance called "Sensual Seduction" on Feb. 23 at the Clarke from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The BSU encourages students interested in participating to attend their Thursday during U-Hour in University Hall 101.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for creating policies on student fees, admissions, financial aid, technology, and student services that a ffect more than 450,000 students, easily making it the highest policy planning committee in the CSU system. The position of student t rustee is the highest and most prestigious position a CSU student can hold. The p rimary responsibility of a student trustee consists of presenting the issues, positions, and perspectives of CSU stu- dents. A student t rustee holds the same powers and responsibilities of the other t rustees and is paid $100 a day for conducting the business of the Board as well as attending the seven regularly scheduled meetings per year. Applications must be mailed to the Office of University A ffairs, 401 Golden Shore, Long Beach, CA 90812 by 5:00 pm on Friday, Feb. 22. Inter- ested students can get more information and instructions on how to apply on the CSSA website at www.csustudents.org. Interviews for candidates are scheduled for Friday, May 12 at CSU Fullerton. Following the process, the CSSA will forward the names of two to five finalists to Governor Schwarzenegger who will then make an ultimate decision. University Village staff w ins spirit award Resident Advisors present stress busters at annual conference BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer On Jan. 26, the CSUSM Resident Advisors and Resident Hall Council members traveled to CSU San Bernardino for the Southern Resident Assistant Program Conference. The annual gathering recognizes the. achievements of student leaders in local college and university residence halls. Weeks in advance, students submit .program ideas to share at the conference. This year, eight programs from CSUSM were chosen. Students were able to spend the day relaxing and sharing ideas with other college leaders before the distribution of awards later on in the evening. Of the ten programs recognized for 'Top Ten of the Year,' two were from San Marcos RAs. CSUSM student, Corbin Northington, received an award for his presentation on necessary first aid knowledge in resident halls. Also garnering recognition was first year RA, Alexander Hoang. His program titled "Meditation Invigoration," challenged students to take risks in order to grow outside their comfort zones. The program's purpose is combating stress among college students, inspired by the chilling statistic that stress is a top factor of death in the United States. Hoang hopes that students can "be comfortable with oneself and make good choices away from materialism." Upon learning about his award, Hoang said, "It felt great. I'm glad to present something other student leaders could take something away from." After the program awards, the event's most prestigious award, the Spirit Award, was announced. The Spirit Award, based on spirit at the conference, participation in program presentations, and a video clip made prior to the day, was presented to CSUSM. The CSUSM RAs created a 'Cougar Lightning' video with the help of spirit leader, Brian Buttacavoli. Along with a three-dimension plaque, the awarded school keeps a 'Spirit Stick' for the year and returns it at the following year's conference. "It was awesome to take the highest award." Hoang said. CSUSM may be a small school but the strength of the University Village team and staff rose to the occasion. �NEWS Tuesday; February 05, 2008 Mini dreates exploratory committee to assessn hold orm debate put o situation City Council c XheC^pride I §§gi |§g£ * immimisim^ - ^ EDITOR W CHIIR * !

The precarious situation between homeowners (who argue the rowdy tenants disrupt neighborhoods) and students (who believe affordable housing goes a long way) leaves the two communities embattled over the issue. The current answer provided by City Council right now lies in the creation of a "Student and Neighborhood Relations Commission." The eight members will oversee potential solutions for neighborhoods disrupted by loud, unruly college students and any other disruptive conduct. Two members of City Council will join the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce and a USMC Camp Pendleton representative from Oceanside. The remaining four include students from Cal State San Marcos and from Palomar Coljege. In Jan. 2007, the City of San Diego passed an ordinance for the owners of single-family homes to pay additional permit fees up to $1000 a year for households that have six or more adult occupants. The surrounding college area at San Diego State University is the most affected by the ordinance. Whether this will affect the San Marcos area remains unknown. Over the past several months, complaints among homeowners of the area have risen, mainly citing things such as loud partying, littering, and limited street parking.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer New York is home to many giants: the victorious NY Giants, giant skyscrapers, a giant statue, giant bridges, giant pretzels, giant hot dogs, and giant musical productions. That said, any venture to New York City is bound to be one monumental occasion, and so too was mine last year. Arriving in the city at 3 a.m. one Saturday morning, it only took seconds for the infamous saying that NYC is "the city that never sleeps" to ring true. Crammed into the backseat of a taxi (my first NY taxi ride of many), adrenaline pulsed through me as our cab driver proceeded to get out of the car come close to blows with another driver over who's turn it was to merge into the right-hand lane. I never heard so many violent profanities in different languages at one time before. Once on Manhattan Island, we made our way to Times Square. A hub of fluorescent lights and mayhem, in the center of all the action we arrived at our hotel, which stood adjacent to the glowing Coca-Cola marquee and next to the Legally Blonde Broadway, show. A world all its own; the lights, action and smells mystified and excited me. Throughout the duration of our Manhattan adventure, I experi- The thing about New York is that there is so much to see and do, that it is nearly impossible to capture it in words, and see it all in under a week. enced many firsts. My first NY hot dog, my first time hailing a cab on my own, my first time getting lost in a such an overwhelming city, and the first time I had the opportunity to see so many historical and famous places. The thing about New York is that there is so much to see and do, that it is nearly impossible to capture it in words, and see it all in under a week. Our first night in the city my group of companions and I made a list of all the things we wanted to do and see. Then, we attempted to organize the locations g eographically and maximize every minute of every day. Forget sleeping—we were in New York, and who knew when we were going to be back there H H H H m H ^^ again—we were going to t ry to do it all. Day one began with a privately guided limousine tour of the city to get our bearings of how to navigate the island. I must say if you have the money, seeing New York through the sunroof and windows of a private limo, complete with bubbly and beverages galore, is hands down the way to go. The city was under water on day two. It poured all night, and continued to pour all day, and this was the day we planned to visit the Statue of Liberty. I must admit it was not our best idea. Walking miles in the rain to the harbor and waiting in line at the Statue for two hours constituted the most miserably wet and uncomfort- mmmsmSm able day of my life. However, it was bittersweet, as it will forever be one of the most memorable days of my life. Seeing Lady Liberty in all her glory and breathing in the musty history that filled the hallways and stairs, awakened a new sense of adventure and patriotism. The rest of our trip continued in this fashion, with a lot of bitter, and almost as much sweet. Sludging around the city in the sticky heat and moody weather at times created problems, such as ending up on the subway line that went to the Bronx all by myself, and running out of clean, dry clothes. Thankfully, there were plenty of "I heart N Y" shirts to build a wardrobe for the remaining few days. In all its glory and infamy, NYC should be at the top of your places to see, as it has more to offer than any other city in the country. f rtp fc ¡SÜ" , ...

Furthermore, the more states a candidate wins, the better chance he or she has at being the front-runner. To put it simpler: Super Tuesday is kind of like a mini-election, or a preliminary round in American Idol. The official presidential elections are not until November; but t hat's November, and this is now, giving us ten months to go; unofficially marking Super Tuesday the beginning of the race! The w inners of the m ajority of the 24 states will be recognized as the f rontrunners, and begin t o c ampaign nationally. Before, campaigning was only for states that held earlier p rimaries, such as Iowa or New Hampshire, in order for candidates t o save money and secure victories, propelling them t hrough the race. However, a fter Super Tuesday the f ront-runners take the lead, the battle lines will remain drawn until November. A year ago t here were countless candidates campaigning all across the country. As of Super Tuesday, there will only be Last but not least is Ron Paul; the six left: two from the Democratic Party, and four f rom the Republican side. And Republican Congressman f rom Texas who feels our country is straying away the candidates are: We have Barack Obama, a Democratic s enator from Illinois, , who: has b eenp^ "senator his professional career a little over 3 years. Obama's platform rests oil his promise/vocalization of change, which has inspired millions and his following only seems to be growing (in January Ä.J alone his campaign acquired $32 million through contributions). He was recently voted #1 Liberal Senator by the National Journal, and has support f rom big names like the Kennedy's and Oprah. The other Democrat r unning is former First Lady Hillary Clinton, the current New York Senator. Alongside Obama, they make this presidential race a historical feat, being that neither a woman nor an A frican American have ever made it so far along in the primaries. Clinton also stated she would bring change, and emphasized her 30 years of experience as a strong point in her campaign. For the Republicans, there is John McCain, a Senator f rom Arizona. Senator McCain served as a captain in the Vietnam War, received several awards and medals, and was a Prisoner of War for almost 6 years in Vietnam. Next we've got Mitt Romney, a republican and former governor of Massachusetts, who has lengthy expérience with budgetary finances because of h is successful career as a CEO and president of the 2002 Winter Olympics. f rom its founding principles.

The Recyclemania 2008 contest begins February 8th. The annual recycling contest happens for 10 weeks, and is open to competing colleges nationwide. In 2006 and 2007, CSUSM won the Grand Champion Award, and in 2005, when the contest only contained two categories, CSUSM almost won the Per Capita category and placed first in the Recycling Rate category. Currently, the 2008 con- test includes more than 400 colleges, whereas last year's contest only included a little more than 200 schools. San Diego State University and University of California San Diego have entered the competition again. This year there are four main categories in the contest: Largest Amount of Recyclables Per Capita, Largest Amount of Total Recyclables, Least Amount of .Trash Per Capita, and Highest Recycling Rate. Participating colleges can also compete in the Targeted Materials category. In the Targeted Materials category, schools may choose one item from the following to focus on: bottles and cans, corrugated cardboard, food service organics, and paper, and then the competition mandates measurements in pounds on a weekly basis throughout the duration of the competition. For their efforts, campuses receive trophies, awards, and certificates. The Green Team and Blue Crew are major components in the competition. The Green Team constantly focuses on reducing, recycling, and reusing at CSUSM while the Blue Crew handles the actual collection and sorting of CSUSM's trash. Based on their combined efforts, CSUSM continues to be a fierce competitor in the contest. When asked if CSUSM will win the competition, Junior Business Major Kyle McClellan responded with, "Win? Heck yeah! Our school is the stuff!" For more information, please visit: http://www.recyclemania. com/ and http://www.myspace. com/recyclemania. Mardi Gras: Let the good times roll BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer I would be willing to bet that nearly everyone in the continental United States and Western Europe has at least heard of Mardi Gras. That's right, the greatest free party on earth; narrow, cozy streets in the French Quarter, beads flying from balconies bursting with eager celebrators, free alcohol, countless floats, outrageous costumes, and raucous behavior in every nook and cranny of New Orleans, Louisiana. Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, or most commonly known as, Fat Tuesday, is in fact today. As the last day before the Catholic observance of Lent, Mardi Gras calls for merriment and festivity to run thick throughout New Orleans, not to mention innumerable other locations around the world. Arriving as early a » February 3 or as late as March 9, Mardi Gras serves as a last-ditch effort to treat yourself prior to the dry month preceding Easter. Simply known as Carnival or Carnivale internationally (namely, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the celebration's intentions are universal while still incorporating the great music and over-indulgence synonymous with the revelry here in the States; Most partygoers have no idea that Mardi Gras actually ends today, Fat Tuesday, with January 6 as the real beginning of the festivities. On Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas, Orthodox Catholics believe that Jesus Christ "shone forth" as God in human form. Western Christians also celebrate this day as the visitation of the Magi and commemorate the event with a feast. What's more, the tradition began in the United States even before the territory fell under American rule. Nearly one hundred years before the Louisiana Purchase, King Louis XIV reigned over a large part of our now united country. As a means of defending his newly acquired land, the French monarch sent for Iberville and Bienville LeMoyne to go sailing up the Mississippi River in hopes of establishing a new settlement. The brothers called the area they came upon Point du Mardi Gras. Throughout the years, proud French descendants inhabiting the Bayou, known as Creoles, passed on their traditions to make honorary Creoles out of all taking part in the bash. As interesting as all the history is, the mere mention of Mardi Gras causes most Americans to conjure up thoughts of flowing beer and women shamelessly bearing their chests in exchange for plastic beads. Obviously, there is no objection to this on Bourbon Street, but has anyone ever stopped to ask: Why beads? It all started in the 1920s with the Rex Company's float tossing inexpensive glass necklaces into the parade's crowd. Thus, a tradition was born. Nowadays, it is quite common for float Krewes (groups who produce and ride on parade floats) to shell out thousands of dollars on the enticing purple, green, and gold necklaces. All in all, Mardi Gras is not solely a French celebration; it is rather a means of uniting different people and cultures all looking for the same thing: a good party.

Cougars split home opener against Vanguard BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer The Cougars (2-4) split their home opener, doubleheader against Vanguard (1-1) on Sat. losing the first game 8-3, and winning the final game 1-0. Vanguard dominated the first game on a strong pitching p erformance froiri Dustin Jones, who went six shutout innings and surrendered only two hits. Michael Anderson pitched the» final three innings giving up the only three r uns the Cougars scored. Vanguard broke the game open in t he top of the 5th and 6th innings. In the top of the 5th, RF Jason Machado hit a one-out solo homerun to give Vanguard a 3 -0 lead. A two out two-error mishap lead to Vanguard's second r un in the inning. In the top of the 6th, Machado struck again with a two-RBI single u p the middle. He ended his day 3 -4 with four RBI's. By t he b ottom of t he 7th, t he Cougars were down an i nsurmountable lead 7-0. Jared Suwyn ended t he Vanguard shutout by h itting a t wo-run H R o ff of A nderson in t he 9th. The Cougars, j ust playing for r espect, added one more r un in t he bottom of t he 9th to m ake the final score 8-3. Game two of the double header was a different story for the Cougars shutting Vanguard out 1-0, in a pitchers duel using three pitchers to combine for a one-hit shutout. GUTS OR CAREER W ANCE CARTELLI HE R IGHT DadECISION? AS IT T Rivers h arthroscopic knee surgery BY L Pride Staff Writer The a ftermath of t he Super Bowl h as arrived and t he N FL s eason is over in d isappointing f ashion f or San Diego Charger f ans. With a severely h urt 'Big 3 ' in Philip Rivers', t orn ACL, L aDainian Tomlinson's, h yper extended k nee, and Antonio Gates', dislocated big toe, t he Chargers lost 21-12 on Jan. 20 t o t he N ew England Patriots. Sorry to r emind you Charger fans. The question I r aise is 4Was Philip Rivers decision t o play w ith a t orn ACL in his right k nee, t he right decision?' The evidence on why it w as t he w rong decision: R ivers h urt h is k nee t he week before against t he I ndianapolis Colts game; back u p QB Billy Volek showed that he was more t han capable, leading the g ame-winning drive against t he p revious Super Bowl champions. Volek would have b een a game m anager and would not have b een put into situations where he would t hrow interceptions as R ivers did. j ust so he could play in the AFC championship game, meaning he was unable to practice for t he most important game of his life against one of the greatest t eams of all time. On a personal level, Rivers is a young QB with a long career ahead of him that is f acing surgery that will require at least 6 months for recovery. One hit could easily have ended h is career and lost him millions of dollars with the chance of r eturning t o the p layoffs/ There is no doubt Rivers decision to play was gutsy and should be praised for h is dedication to his team and his desire t o w in. But we have no crystal ball, no way t o tell the f uture. His play was that of a man with a hurt k nee t hrowing t hree interceptions, the same as godlike Tom Brady. Would back-up Billy Volek played better t han a hurt Rivers? With a healthy Tomlinson would the Chargers have won? Would all of it matter? We j ust don't know, it's all speculation to say it was the right or wrong decision. Men's soccer tryouts BY T IM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM men's soccer is holding is annual open tryout on Saturday, February 16th f rom 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Mangrum Track and Soccer Field. Students interested in t rying out can visit www.csusm.edu/athletics before February 11th to fill out the appropriate documents. "We are hoping t o identify any students currently on campus who may have the ability to contribute to the men's team and solidify a roster spot," said assistant coach Bobby Renneisen. T he team is going into its third year of existence, and has an 18-13-1 record over the first two years of play. Steve Triolo, the starting pitcher for the Cougars, went 5 1/3 strong innings giving up the only hit while striking out five and giving up four walks. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the 4th, when CF Tristan Gale lead off the inning with a solo homerun tp center field, turned out to be the game-winning home r un. Eric Julienne and Jared Suwyn combined to go 1 2/3 innings of no hit baseball to shut-out Vanguard in a seven inning contest this is the Cougars second win of the season, and first win at home. SOFTBALL 1-1 IN DOUBLEHEADER BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Softball kicked off its second season in existence Saturday, splitting a doubleheader with Biola University. Biola struck early on in game one, doing all of their damage in the team's 6 -4 victory in the first two innings. CSUSM scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning on four singles, and one r un in the bottom of the sev- enth on a triple hit by sophomore, Erica Coelho. CSUSM won game two of the doubleheader by a score of 2-1, thanks to a complete game, six strikeout outing by junior, Melissa Lerno. The split opens the season with a 1-1 record.

A more grown up Fiasco now sings of much deeper things: Songs like "Little Weapon" deal with youth rebel soldiers in Africa and the things they go through at such a young age. Many of the songs are politically driven and deal with many of the issues going on today such as A.I.D.S, rape, school shootings, and drug use. He even changes up his rapping style in songs like "The Die'' in which he has a Twistalike, rapid delivery sound. Then there are the dark songs like "Put You On Game", in which Lupe raps as if he is evil. With each song differing in style, it makes the entire CD enjoyable. This is one of the rare CDs that I can listen to from beginning to end without changing a song. What hip-hop has needed is a message behind the music, and Lupe does this perfectly. Each song makes you think and want to listen to his every word, not to mention the amazing beats and Kanye West style synths. I recommend that everyone go out and buy this CD right now. It's a must have. A&E THE PRIDE Academy Awards nominations overshadowed by strike tion of Ian McEwan's 2001 novel, also received seven nods.

The Governor's proposal, announced Jan. 10, came as a result of California's massive budget deficit and will inevitably cut $312 million from the CSU system, which equates to an $875 cut from each full-time student.

We kU0w that higher education is part of the solution to a struggling economy," said Taiz;. On Jan. 22, Chancellor Charles B. Reed and the Ad Hoc Committee discussed hiring practices among the CSU system. The state auditor recommended the university create a centralized information structure to categorize university compensation by individual, payment type, and funding source. The Ad Hoc Committee suggested a comprehensive training program for coding of salary payments to employees. In response to last years' state audit reports and the specially appointed Ad Hoc Committee on the Bureau of State Àudit Reports, Chancellor Reed stated that he will report to State Auditor Elaine Howie every six months on the system's progress. Taiz spoke to the Trustees about the importance of arguing the budget plan and its effects on the future of the CSU. "CFA is already preparing for the fight ahead." Said Taiz.

Below: The Church of San Francisco de Asis. From a map, Panama looks like a thread of a country strained by the weight of two colossal landmasses, ready to snap at any given time. A few moments on the ground quickly abolishes these notions as this tiny Central American gem proves that big things truly can come in the smallest of packages . Although the eyes of the / world fixate on the Panama Canal, the rest of the country is often overlooked. Panama City, serving both as the Capital and engine of this exciting country, is quickly becoming a focal point for culture and travel in Latin America, Resting (if you could call it that) on the southern coast of Panama, Panama City is a bustling metropolis teeming with seemingly endless activity. In a city with an unrivaled work ethic and a Latin sensibility, everybody is on the move, and the best way to see the city is to just flow along the human currents. The American influence here is undeniable, where Dunkin Donuts and the big American television networks are no foreigners. Here and there, conversations in English can be overheard at restaurants and sports bars, but the locals are also patient, making it a great place to practice your Spanish. Political awareness is a huge part of life in Panama, and much like the current primaries taking place in the U.S., Panama is undergoing a similar process. The people in Panama also take an interest in American politics, which makes for great discussion. Unlike the U.S, everything in Panama is wonderfully inexpensive. Even better, save a trip to the currency exchange and just bring along your American dollars. For those unable to detach from the Internet, you will find Panama to b e a country well connected. While Panama carries a much milder culture shock than most Latin American countries, don't pack an American attitude i f you plan on absorbing what Panama has to offer. Qbserved from the fringes, Panama City's impressive and constantly expanding skyline erupts against the landscape in dramatic fashion. From within the city, a medley of old and tired structures rest comfortably under the marvel of these modern skyscrapers. Like the lush greenery surrounding the city, plant life is present throughout the entire city; to see a tree growing out of a house came as little surprise. Rush Hour is not just an American affliction, and like any booming metropolis, anticipate running into some traffic. The public transportation system can be quite confusing so your best bet is to stick to the taxis: They don't run a meter and the dollar can take you surprisingly far. Even with the powerful effect of modernization on the city, it has not lost sight of its heritage. Casco Viejo, or as many locals call it, San Felipe, is the main historic district of the city. An intriguing blend of French and Spanish architecture draped in greenery, the area harbors many of the cittes finest restaurants and cafes amidst its narrow streets and historical plazas. Like the rest of the city, Casco Viejo is „ best experienced aimlessly on foot. Reach the outskirts and you'll find shady walkways that offer some of the best views of the city to the east and of the Pacific entrance to the Panama Left: Panama's countryside as seen from la autopista Colon. Above: Plaza ae Francia looking towards the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. �Canal and the massive Bridge of the America's to the west. At the Plaza de Francia, a tall monument and a spacious plaza honor the French laborers that aided in the construction of the Panama C anal This area of the city is so highly regarded that it serves as the home of the Presidential Palace, although the armed guards near the palace can be cause for alarm at first glance. Stepping back further into the history of Panama City, Panama Viejo (Old Panama) is the original location of Panama City. Destroyed in the seventeenth century, Panama Viejo is the oldest Spanish settlement in the Pacific. With the majority of the city having burned to the ground, all that remains today are a few stone ruins, the most prominent and best preserved of which is the Cathedral tower. A stairwell Above: Bananas Village Resort on Isla Grande along inside allows visitors to ascend the Caribbean coast, below: A large shipping vessel four stories, providing a passes through the Miraflores Lock; the last stop for panoramic view of the site and ships going t o Panama much of modern Panama City. Don't pretend that you can go to Panama without paying a visit to the Panama Canal. You can't. Even as Panama's largest tourist trap, it is also one of the greatest engineering feats in the history of mankind. The fact that it is arguably the most important component in global commerce should also convince you to make the short trip out of the city. At Miraflores Lock, the last stop along the canal for ships heading into the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of spectators look on as massive shipping vessels are spared thousands of miles of travel along the treacherous Drake Passage. Such an efficient and convenient passage does come with a high cost, however. Large shipping vessels may pay as much as $200,000 to pass through the canal, making it one of the heftiest tolls on the planet. With growing competition and demand, plans are underway to expand the canal to allow for larger vessels and improved efficiency. With the ineessant bustle of the city, tourists and residents alike often turn to the outlying countryside for a peaceful escape, and it is here where the benefits of such a small country truly shine. Straying from the beaten path in Panama quickly becomes one of the most spectacular and rewarding travel experiences in the world. A stark contrast from urban Panama, the majority of the country contains lush, rolling hills and valleys. Traveling from t ie Pacific to the Caribbean coast takes you through an untamed Panama not seen in most photographs. Although small villages exist near the main roadways, they mark the edge of a wilderness of pure, virgin land. Just a few hours drive from Panama City, the Caribbean Ocean peeks out from the lush greenery. From coast to coast, ,iI mm I IIIS Left: Near the Presidential Palace at Casco Viejo. Right: Greenery covers many structures in Panama. a markedly different Panama emerges. The people here, friendly and helpful, seem to derive their entire ancestry from the land. The coastal Caribbean region in all of its beauty is also very poor, having not felt the effects of the economic boom in Panama City. Despite these ails, the Caribbean coast offers many picturesque destinations for visitors. Small islands like Isla Grande are accessible by boat and sit just off the coast, housing small resorts and relaxing getaways. Not deprived of the historical richness that characterizes Panama, the former outpost of Portobelo exhibits the ruins of a major Spanish fortification during. With canons still pointed towards the ocean, this fort bears the marks of defeat at the hands Buccaneers and later the British. For a country with such a strong Western influence, Panama provides visitors with a gentle introduction to Latin American culture while retaining the ability to give its guests a unique and memorable experience. Packed with a lifetime 's worth of amusement, I can't help but wonder what Panama would be if it had some more territory to play with. �Letters to the Editor Over winter break I, like everyone else at Cal State San Marcos, received a few emails warning that a mountain lion had been spotted near campus on several occasions and that traps had been set and the police alerted to deal with the supposed threat. Coincidentally I also received a small magazine f rom Cal State San Marcos in December (via snail mail) noting some of the upcoming events on campus, among them the erecting of a bronze statue of a tukwut (or mountain lion in the tongue of the local Luiseno Native American tribe). The timing of the emails in regard to the mountain lion sighting, and the news about the soon to be unveiled statue struck me as more than a little ironic. The emails f rom CSUSM make it seem as if the mountain lion spotted near campus is some sort of villain simply waiting and lurking to attack and maul someone - something flagrantly misleading. Mountain lion attacks are exceedingly rare. In fact a mountain lion has a better chance of being attacked and shot by a hostile human, than a person has of being attacked by one of these-big cats. In all likelihood the mountain lion, probably a victim of the recent wildfires, has been forced to unwilling locate nearer to the campus. The language that CSUSM took in immediately addressing the sighting of the mountain lion follows the recent trend in San Diego County of striking preemptively against the local wildlife. In fact several months ago officials in one San Diego suburb had four coyotes hunted and shot for apparently catching a few pets in the nearby neighborhood. As a twenty-five year resident of Southern California, I have had mountain lions in my backyard before, yet also understand that such occurrences are simply part of life w hen you choose to erect your house on another creatures home. The emails received f rom CSUSM make it clear though that the college has chosen to reinforce misleading stereotypes about mountain lions. Such incidents it seems simply remind me that intolerance, fear, and violence are still key faucets of human society, even at a supposed institution of higher learning. So it is more than a little ironic that Cal State San Marcos will welcome a bronze statue of a mountain lion to campus, yet if a real one does rear its head it will probably b e shot. The message resonates loud and clear, and so does the hypocrisy. Matthew Schramm Dear Pride, On the front page of the January 22, 2008, edition, in "By the Numbers," you left out a very important figure which represents the faculty who are doing most of the teaching on our qampus (as in the CSU as a whole): the lecturers, who are off the tenure track. Also known as temporary faculty or "adjuncts," in fall 07, the campus hired 71 new lecturers, raising the total to around 335. With only 6 f ull-time lecturers, our students are taught increasingly by contingent part-time faculty, a great number of which teach at two or more institutions in order to make a living. The 187 tenure-line faculty mentioned on your f ront page are responsible for advising the 9,159 students, since lecturers are rarely hired to carry out this aspect of faculty work.

But break is over and it is time to get back to business. What better way to kick off the new semester than talking about why the New England Patriots will go 19-0? Here are my eight reasons for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl this Sunday: 8. The Patriots have cheated the system and were called out by the New York Jets and the NFL. Their response was a 38-14 beat down on the Chargers in week two. 7. They trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter to the Indianapolis Colts in what was being called the biggest regular season game ever. It was Tom Brady who took over the game throwing two touchdown passes in four minutes to win the game 24-20. 6. In the final game of the regular season, the Patriots' went into Giants Stadium and saw Eli Manning gain the confidence he was lacking when he threw four touchdown passes in the game. The Patriots defense will be throwing different coverage's and blitzes at Eli trying to force turnovers. 5. The mind games. Bill Belichick is a genius when it comes to finding a way to win. Then, with Tom Brady appearing in a walking boot last week in New York. Then, later that same afternoon he is seen without the boot. Sprain or no sprain, Brady will be playing for his third Super Bowl MVP. 4. Experience! Eli has no championship experience: His college play at Ole Miss led to no major bowl games and his professional career is no better. He is in his first Super Bowl and for the first time in a long time he is looking like a steady quarterback. Brady had to battle for a starting spot at Michigan and then had to battle for a backup spot in New England. 3. First to 37 will win. Considering the Patriots scored more than 37 points in eight games, while the Giants reached that plateau only once this season. It would be safe to say that Brady has more options to throw to than Eli. 2. The record speaks for itself. The Patriots are 18-0 and going for perfection. Brady threw for a record 50 touchdowns. Blood, Sweat, Tears, Rain Maybe you noticed that it's raining. This is a strange phenomena for those of us San Diego natives, so we're going to take a look at it in depth here today at the Science Corner of BST. "Rain" is actually f rom the Greek word rainus, meaning " to be pissed on by the sky". Some historians believe that it descends from the Latin term ranius et blanketus which literally translates to, "Screw this noise. I'm staying home under the blankets." Rain has no natural predators, which has allowed it to breed without disruption to the point that we are now seeing it in environs which have not normally been part of its natural habitats, such as San Diego. I could talk now about all the positives of rain, but any "positives" are really just a product of clever marketing. It makes plants grow and it's important, While Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice's record of 22 touchdown receptions with the same record breaking pass. 1. The number one reason why I believe the Patriots will go undefeated: despite loving their commercials, I am not a big fan of the Mannings. But when it all said and done, there will be a new Super Bowl Champion and a new champion of football. The Patriots are going to win, but once again won't cover the spread. The final score of t he game is going to be the Patriots 38, Giants 31 with Tom Brady walking away with his third Super Bowl M VP Any comments or questions can be sent to churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. By Torio, Savey / Pride Staff Writer and blah blah blah. Now, let's talk about the dark side. Rain will make you melt. You thought they werefluffingabout in . The Wizard of Oz. They're not joking. An estimated 15% of people will actually melt if hit by more than three teaspoons of rain. Rain also survives mainly on a diet of kittens and killer hairstyles. If your hair looks good, there's probably some rain on the way to eat it. Also, rain shot JFK. In fact, in Seattle, convicted criminals aren't sent to prison. They're simply left out to be tortured and eventually devoured by the rain. So before you start thinking that your spring wildflowers are about to bloom and rain is really the tear drops of angels or some crap, look at the cold, hard, scientific facts. Rain is a wet, yucky apocalypse from the sky. Watch your back.

There were certainly some absolutely wonderful films that came out last year, but 2007 is marred by a lackluster summer and several overrated movies. Several well known American directors put out their best works, yet it is the works of those outside this country that stole the show. Before descending into a brutal attack, on the past year, I do have sqme very good films to commend. The year got off to a great start with David Fincher's "Zodiac", which is a contender with "Fight Club" as his best work. The tension and acting make this one a must buy. Also worth buying is "The Bourne Ultimatum", which brought a nice end to the trilogy, and "Ratatouille", which was another masterpiece by Disney/ Pixar. Some of the delightful films worth watching came out late 2007. These include "Juno", "Across The Universe", "3; 10 To Yuma", and "American Gangster". For those who enjoy serious cinema, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" is an absolute treat. Finally worth a mention is one of the few films to survive the dismal summer, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Upon reflecting on the movies of the year 2007, the first thing I think of is this dismal array of summer movies. The • M v l W M pursuit of profits led to an incredible amount of sequels, which included "Spiderman 3", "Fantastic 4: The Rise of the Silver Surfer", "Shrek 3", and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", which were all unnecessary movies meant to sucker the consumer. Earlier in the year, as well, film goers were 'graced' with such works as "Norbit", "The Invisible", "Ghostrider", "TMNT", and "Next". The year rounded out with more lackluster pieces such as "Balls of Fury", "Beowulf', "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "War", "Awake", and "Good Luck Chuck". The latter two films and the sequel to "Fantastic 4 " have proven that Jessica Alba's talents are limited to winking, and thus won her 'Worst Female Actor of the Year'. As for her male counter part it would be Nicholas Cage for "Next", "National Treasure: Book of Secrets", and "Ghostrider". Next to consider, there are a few more bad movies to name, however these are a special few. These are the movies that became really popular, but were truly not that good. One of these films is "Transformers". It is not a popular thing to say, but this movie is riddled w l A l P wkwk Film Jb HI JMbA ll with problems. Michael Bay should go back to music videos as this movie was shameful. The only reason it was popular is because of Optimus Prime, and his crew. Everything was low quality from the acting to the story and especially the dialogue. The CGI was not even that good. A similar movie would be "Dragon Wars", which was the same premise as "Transformers", only it was not popular because it did not have a popular toy line and TV show behind it. Quickly I would like to include "The directors, this year would have belonged entirely elsewhere in the world of <?inema. Previously mentioned was "Zodiac" which would have been the best US film of the year if it were not for the Coen Brothers. "No Country For Old Men", which is a brilliant film that everyone should see. It is easily the Coens' best, which is saying a lot. The acting, storyline, and tension are incredible. It is without a doubt going to be in the top ten of the 2000's with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Lord of the Rings", and "The Departed". But the world of cinema is not limited to what is put out by the US. Also from 2007 came the brilliant German film "The Lives of Others" and the Danish film by Susanne Bier, "After the imagescourtesyotimaD.com Wedding". Just Simpsons Movie", which was like three because one has to read subtitles does bad episodes of "The Simpsons" in a row. not mean these are not awesome films. The final pair I will call out are "Knocked Finally, I commend thefilmmakersof Up" and "Superbad". The makers of the United Kingdom for their work this year. Danny Boyle is on top form with these movies are desperate for attention "Sunshine", and dramas such as "Control" using every crude trick possible. Both and "This Is England" should not be of these use vulgarity in place of actual missed. "Atonement" is also well worth substance and are not that funny the watching. And my final film to honor second time through, not that they were this year was my favorite, "Hot Fuzz", funny in the first place. The continuing a brilliant tale of police and murder in a string of unrealistic movies poking fun at quiet English town. I hope you will take stereotypical losers does not impress me. the time to watch and re-watch the films With that off my chest, it is time to I suggested. Hopefully 2008 will bring consider the cream of the crop.

The brewery opened in April of 1989. Brendan Moylan acts as the general partner for the brewery. The brewery only uses natural ingredients in their products. Furthermore, the brewery focuses on making unique and diverse tasting beers than those of the more common domestic breweries. Raspberry Trail Ale won two awards. The ale won gold in the California State Fair in 2005 and gold in the Best of the West in 2002. The dark brown glass bottle holds 22 fluid ounces with an alcohol by volume of 5%. Six ingredients comprise the award winning ate. The six ingredients are barley, malt, yeast, water, and natural raspberry flavoring. The bottle has a large label containing the company's logo of a swan on a lake. An array of purple and magenta hues comprises the label. A black bottle cap stamped with the yellow words California Brewed seals the ale. The ale pours soft with a half-inch thick head that disappears relatively quickly. The amber colored ale has an almost foggy tinting. The ale enters the mouth with a rapid surge of flavor that lingers on the tongue for several seconds. After the ale has disappeared a sugary film develops in the mouth causing the lips to smack in demand for more. The brewery recommends serving the ale in a glass as to release some of the flavoring. Raspberries alone are great tasting, but they are even better when used to flavor ale. Take a stroll to BevMo this week and check out this week's ale for a delicious fruit inspired delicacy. Photo by Jonathan Thompson Interview with: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride S taff Writer Street performers at heart and gentlemen by nature, Jay, Lou, and Mickey Smart (a.k.a. The Smart Brothers) are unraveling the heartstrings of local music critics and enthusiasts alike with their old Hollywood jazz and Americana folk style. With dozens of instruments, such as ukuleles, soprano guitars, a jaw harp, slide whistle, castanets and an accordion—just to name a few—The Smart Brothers are well versed in love and harmony. Painting a picture under the stars with nothing but their beautiful melodies and flawless instrumental synchronization, the sound of The Smart Brothers is lush, rich, and soulful. How did The Smart Brothers come t o collect so many instruments? Jay Smart, the proud player of the suitcase, which doubles as a bass drum, said, "the funny thing is that they each have very strange stories behind them. For instance, we were in a pawnshop one time in the South and there was this octave mandolin there. Well, Lou walked in and said, 'I have to have that octave mandolin.' Of course we couldn't afford it, but we went back home, dug up these old sheepskin drums and other weird things, traded it all in, and got the octave mandolin." At a young age, Jay and Lou Smart garnered an appreciation for music not only as a result of their fascination for instruments, but also through the Photo courtesy of The Smart Brothers headphones of their walkmans blasting the inspirational tunes of Handel's a matter of time before the three own music,"' said Lou, and that's what "Messiah," The Beach Boys, and The they did. stumbled upon a happy accident at Beatles.

"To recreate what we do on stage is hard because it's very visual, so we're even thinking when it does come out in spring, it may be a DVD, we may really push the envelope as far as the presentation goes," said Jay. "We actually have this rule that we go by, that we don't keep any good songs, we only keep thé great songs," said Mickey, when describing their ever-evolving songwriting process. Constructing songs that embody powerful emotions and amorous imagery, it seems only natural that the inspiration for their songs comes from women. Just back in town from a cross-country winter tour, The Smart Brothers, along with their banjos, kazoos and xylophones, (along with the other dozens of instruments) strive t o please their audience and spend their lives doing what they love the most: making music. "Our whole thing is we just want to make people happy. When they come to our show, people feel like they are falling in love, and that's a good thing t o feel," said Lou. "It's a great feeling," said Jay, " when you're actually falling in love-in a relationship, that part doesn't last long, so we're trying t o drag it out a little bit." Geared with an orange VW van backed to the brim with musical gadgets, and dressed t o the nines in slacks, bowties and Gatsby-like attire, one can easily find The Smart Brothers playing a show almost any night of the week. Regulars at several venues around town and performing on the streets upwards of four or five times a week, The Smart Brothers are thinking smart in terms of getting their name and their music out and into the hearts of San Diegans.

Try not to piss o ff the administration to the point that they have us all killed by assassins. Lose 150 lbs (well, our old editor graduated so we've already completed that one). Keep the office cleaner, or teach the roaches to copy edit. As for me, I have my own set of resolutions. For example, if I lose 40 pounds, my boyfriend is going to propose. S o...I'm going to gain 50. That immediately gets rid of the "eat less cookies" and "exercise more" resolutions. Excellent. My second resolution is obviously to stop by pet stores and look at kittens more often. They make me happy, and my cat's starting to get a little shabby around the edges. Never too early to start shopping for a replacement. Resolution number three: get a Wii. Due to a nasty flu/migraine/ PLAGUE combo* I'm still behind on work f rom last semester, arid then I 'll have all the school work this semester, and the newspaper. I think now is an ideal time to take up Wii bowling with the grandparents. Plus it's j ust the level of exercise I need to gain those 50 pounds. Ok, I have to make five resolutions. Hmm. So # 4 is clean more often. The cat may not actually be shabby around the edges at all, so much as covered in dust bunnies because she's been napping in my room for so long. And it's not like I have a bad relationship with the vacuum cleaner. I m ean, I enjoy vacuuming. I'm like Vlad the Impaler of dust mites. And the fifth and final resolution of 2008: tell people that I love them more often. However, I don't want to strain myself, so I'm going to do it every other Tuesday between 4 and 5 in the afternoon. I figure three people an hour, once every two weeks, means I 'll tell people I love them about once every six months. That's a good comfortable level. Or really, better yet...#5: t ry every Beer o f the Week. �NEWS Tuesday; January 22, 2008 T H E ( ft P RIDE ;; mrtoKmcnm VÏRI01AHA < É^CIiBCO-ISÀAC V .

L etters t haa ^ Chargers, plagued by injuries fall to undefeated Patriots BY T IM MOORE Pride Staff Writer EDITORIAL STAFF i ndividual T HE P RIDE The Chargers run at playoff glory is over. Just one game away from the Super Bowl, the Chargers were unable to beat the now 18-0 New England Patriots on a frigid day in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The main concern regarding the Chargers going into the game was the uncertainty of the health of team's three offensive gems. Philip Rivers, despite leaving last week's contest with a injured knee, managed to play the entire game, but the injury combined with the sub-freezing temperatures may have lead to Rivers' two interceptions, two sacks, and zero touchdowns. Running back, LaDainian Tomlinson reinjured a bruised knee on the very first play of Sunday's contest. With Tomlinson in the game, the Chargers would have had a better chance to capitalize on their three trips into the red-zone; all of which ended up resulting in field goals. An integral part of the Chargers passing game, tight end, Antonio Gates played the game ailing from a dislocated toe. The injury held Gates to only two receptions for 17 yards. The Chargers got on the board first in this game, on a 26-yard, Nate Kaeding field goal. I Early on in the second quarter, Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady orchestrated a 65-yard drive, resulting in a one-yard touchdown from running back, Lawrence Maroney. San Diego pushed all the way to the New England five yard line, only to be forced to kick field goal to brong the score to 6-7. At the four minute mark in the second quarter, Patriots cornerback, Asante Samuel intercepted a Philip Rivers pass for 10 yards, and just two plays later, Tom Brady passed to wide receiver, Jabar Gaffney up the middle for a 12-yard touchdown, bringing the Patriots lead to 14-6. The Chargers closed out the half with Nate Kaeding 40-yard field goal. At the eight minute mark in the third quarter, the Chargers capped off yet another drive deep into New England territory with a Nate Kaeding field goal, this time for 24 yards. New England scored early in the fourth quarter on a Tom Brady to Wes Welker sixyard touchdown, bringing the score to 21-12. San Diego gave one more shot at a comeback, but were derailed by solid New England pass protection. Three Chargers intercepted Tom Brady passes, leaving analysts to question Brady's passing game going iiito the Super Bowl. Antonio Cromartie's third quarter pick was Brady's first red-zone interception in over two years. It took 62 straight red-zone touchdowns for Brady to throw one interception, and it is apt that Cromartie had the honor of catching it. Cromartie capped off a pro-bowl season with a league-leading 10 regular season interceptions, despite starting only eight games.

Known as 'Ask Jeeves' up until early 2006, the engine was famous for encouraging users to pose questions to a fictitious butler, or self-proclaimed, "gentleman's personal gentleman." The concept caught on quickly, but was soon swept under the rug by the simplicity of engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. 10 years and $227 million later, Ask.com is poised to regain the popularity that it once held. Dropping the notion of asking a question, Ask.com has rolled out unprecedented features that allow users to get the absolute most out of searches. Users can chose from eight front page sub-features, including: Web, Images, City, News, Blogs, Video, Maps & Directions, and Shopping. Users can also chose. from different skins to customize the Ask.com experience. Se^rch.results are processed into a three column design that offers users the most complete search on one page. In the right column, Ask.com offers ways to "Narrow Your Search" and "Expand Your Search." The right column also contains "Related names" and the ability to go into an advanced search. The middle column contains the typical results that any search engine would contain, however, if a search contains a personality (celebrity, athlete, ect.), the results include a special feature including a short biography, and other helpful links. If a user is searching for a city, a map of the given city appears at the top of the middle column, along with links for Jobs, Current Weather, and Seasonal Climate. The right column is the most useful and robust feature of Ask. com. The column includes an images preview, Wikipedia encyclopedia entry, and a videos preview. If searching for a city, in addition to the aforementioned categories, users can see the city's current time and date, and the current weather, with a link to a detailed forecast.

The bottle has an elegant white foil wrapping similar to champagne bottles Ground the neck and bottle cap. Lastly, a white bôttlé cap seals the lager containing the same ancient beast and brewery name in red lettering. The heavily carbonated lager pours with a one inch thick white head that disappears almost as quickly as it formed. The lager has a pleasant, almost sweet aroma and glistens in a light, golden amber hue. As the lager rests in the beer mug the carbonation rises endlessly to the top. The first phase of the sip allows a mild soothing lager to enter the mouth. A slight prickle of the tongue forms and then transcends into a Chuck Norris roundhouse f kick to the taste buds as a bolder flavor washes over all areas of the mouth. The lager descends into the H k abyss of the stomach and leaves a lingering bitter residue. Naturally, the lager pairs exquisitely with Thai ^ m cuisine.

XVIII NO. 13 President Haynes hosts second open forum with students P arking p ermits a nd f ee increases a re h ot topics i n President's B oardroom BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer With news of the parking fee increases to the Cal State San Marcos campus, students met with President Karen Haynes, bringing along signed petitions and increased frustration to the semester's second open forum on Wed. Nov. 28 in the President's Boardroom. "Most of us are here for the parking issue." Said student Amethyst Hills. "Why don't we have private or public funding for the parking structure?" AccordingtoPresidentHaynes, the state does not pay for parking facilities, student unions or athletic fees. Therefore, the only way those services are covered is through student fee increases. In regards to funding from donors, President Haynes stated, "It's not highly likely that a donor wants to build a parking lot. Donors want to build academic buildings or make enhancements like they did for Markstein Hall. But parking facilities is generally what the public donors or philanthropists see as something that we need to fund through our own mechanisms by the users of the facilities." One concern for students was where the increased fees would go and whether or not current students would see the effects of the increase in the structures planned in the near future. "What we've done from the beginning and what we continue to do is some of that money that you and staff and faculty pay in parking fees goes to the actual maintenance of parking structures now and some of it is put away in an account that can't be touched for anything but the next parking lot or fees for a new See FORUM, page 2 University Bookstore expansion Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Construction of the new expansion of the University Bookstore on the fifth floor of Craven Hall continues and is expected to be complete by late December.

President Haynes said. With The Pride's last issue in hand, student Yolanda Castaño pointed out the discrepancy among CSU campuses and parkEingOermit prices. DT pR I "It's ridiculous the amount of money we have to pay." Castaño added. President Haynes cited two simple reasons behind the $90 fee increase; the campus is growing and construction costs are higher. She explained that while the excitement of a new campus and the new technology it has to offer is something that draws in admittance, "the downside is some of these other campuses built their parking lots twenty years ago. They're not continuing to build parking so they don't have to bank on it and they're not building parking lots at today's construction costs which are dramatically higher than even when I came here four years ago." The conversation eventually shifted from parking permits to student fee increases.

"Yes, we have the highest park- tional funding to cover the increase in costs of operations, the CSU Board of Trustees have approved a ten percent student fee increase. While many students explained that tuition costs are much higher than expected at such a small campus, President Haynes was quick to point out that CSU campuses as a whole are less expensive than other state colleges. "When you look at the state fees you pay and the local fees for student heath, parking, miscellaneous costs, I have to tell you that while I understand for many people it is a struggle to pay, California State University is one of the least expensive public universities in this nation by $1500 a year," said President Haynes. With no opportune way to change the fee increase of parking permits, students asked where they could go to be heard. President Haynes offered three ways for students to involve themselves with these campus issues. "One, student voices to the legislatures about funding. Two, if you want more information about what's banked in parking, certainly go get it from the people in parking and the Vice Presi- dent in Finance. Three, if there moment?

Even student petitions and frustration cannot assuage an Roffee asked. "Are we prepared at this already complex situation. ing prices compared to all the CSUs," said Knoblock. "However, we are still considered a young campus and in 'building mode.'" Knoblock also explained about 11 years ago the Chancellor's office decentralized parking programs' method of administer- ing and allocating funds. Back then, campuses had full financial responsibility to make sure they met all parking related expenditures, including parking operations, future maintenance and repair, and capital outlay projects.

Homeless in San Marcos BY JESSICA SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Students may not be aware of the growing number of homeless people that surround San Marcos. According to the Regional Task Force on the Homeless, there were a total of 12 homeless people counted in San Marcos in 2006. They were found behind Palomar College, Mission Rd, Bradley Park, San Marcos Blvd, and Town Center. Outside of the city limits in Escondido where the population is 140,766, 894 homeless people reside. One problem that revolves around this issue is the minimal amount of homeless shelters. The Regional Task Force on the Homeless mentions that there are no homeless facilities in San Marcos. The only assistance available to these people comes from social service agencies that provide care to them. So who exactly are the homeless? According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, out of the 3.5 million people estimated to experience homelessness, 39 percent are children Families make up nearly 33 percent of the homeless. In 2004 the homeless population consisted of 49 percent A frican Americans, 35 percent Caucasians, 13 percent Hispanics, 2 percent Native Americans, and 1 percent Asians. Most people that experience homelessness are victims of domestic violence, drug addicts, people with mental illness, and war veterans. Students interested in helping can volunteer at nearby homeless shelters like Interfaith in Escondido and Brother Bennos in Oceanside. Students can also donate money and food to these shelters. The North County Food Bank, located in San Marcos, is especially needy. The North County Times recently reported that food banks are worried about whether they will have enough food to distribute to the homeless after the holidays. This shortage was caused in part by the recent fires that devastated our county. �SPORTS THE PRIDE Tuesday, December 4, 2007 Cromartie, Tomlinson guide Chargers to win BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday's game in Kansas Gity, fresh off of a huge 34-14 win over Baltimore at home last week. The Chargers looked to carry that momentum into Arrowhead Stadium, where they took on the Chiefs in a heated AFC West contest. Defense got the job done on Sunday, and thanks to a pair of interceptions by rising star, Antonio Cromartie, the Chargers got a much needed win; 24-10.. These two teams faced off on September 30, resulting in a 30-16 Chargers loss. The Chiefs put the first points on the board on Sunday, thanks to a 38-yard John Carney field goal. The Chargers answered back with a 25-yard Nate Kaeding field goal at the 5:25 mark in the first quarter. Chargers quarterback, Philip Rivers showed some weakness early on, throwing an interception to Kansas City cornerback, Ty Law. Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie intercepted Kansas City quarterback, Damon Huard for 28-yards, on the following possession. The score remained at 3-3 up until the 5:23 mark in the second quarter Huard put the Chiefs up by a touchdown on two-yard pass to Jared Allen. Philip rivers displayed his air game, passing 38-yards to meet wide receiver, Vincent Jackson in the end zone for an impressive touchdown that tied the game up at 10-10. The score would remain the same going into the halftime, only for LaDainian Tomlinson pick things up in early in the third, rushing for 31-yards and a touchdown. Tomlinson struck again, this time, early in the fourth quarter, with another long run for a touchdown. The touchdown was Tomlinson's 111th in his career, passing the legendary Walter Payton for third place on the all-time rushing touchdowns list. Antonio Cromartie intercepted yet another pass, this time, with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Cromarte leads the league in interceptions, with eight. Cromartie's interception sealed the game at 24-10, but it was Tomlinson's achievements that took over the post-game interviews. On passing Walter Payton on the alltime rushing touchdowns list, Tomlinson said "It's definitely an honor just to be mentioned in the same breath with, in my opinion, the greatest running back that has ever played the game." The Chargers appear to be running away with first place in the AFC West with a record of 7-5. The Denver Broncos are in second place with a 5-6 record. The Chargers go into Tennessee next Sunday to take on the 7-5 Titans at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

All around the county and the rest of the nation, various organizations and charities set up fundraisers and donations to make sure everyone receives a little holiday cheer. On campus, ASI is hosting a toy drive with the national charity foundation, Toys for Tots until Friday Dec. 7. All toys must be new and in their original packaging. Anyone with donations can drop off the toys at the ASI Business office, Recreation Center, or UVA Lobby. For more information, contact Jamie Inarda at inard001@csusm.edu. The Southern California wildfires in October left thousands without homes for the holidays. The American Red Cross is accepting donations to help aid fire victims. For information on stations in the area, visit www. redcross.org. The Native American Alliance for Emergency Preparedness is also looking for donations to help assist families of the eleven tribes in San Diego affected by the wildfires. In addition to damage of homes and land, the fires from the La Jolla reservation melted away the water lines, severely damaging their water source. To offer donations through the Native American Environmental Protection Coalition, visit www. naepc.org. The San Diego Foundation is currently seeking donations for their 'After the Fires Fund 2007' campaign. Their website offers donors the opportunity to select from which specific would prefer to donate to. Visit www.sdfoundation.org/fire2007/ for more information. Father Joe's Villages in San Diego is an organization that helps the homeless. People can help out by making cash donations, donate clothing, appliances, furniture, personal hygiene products and other dry goods, food donations, vehicle donations and through volunteer work. The best way for students to volunteer is by helping serve meals. For infor- mation on how to help, contact www.fatherjoesvillages.org. Being away from loved ones during the holidays is especially tough. Operation Homefront is a non-profit organization designed to provide emergency assistance and help increase moral to United States troops and their families. Anyone interested can visit www. o perationhomefront.net. Operation Homefront also sponsors the program eCarePackage, available at www.ecarepackage.org. Through I the program, people I can sponsor a service t member and therefore I send gifts and necessi* ties to service members | through a safe distribut tor. Sponsors can also e contact their service member through the website. All of these organizations and charities are available year round but if the urge to give strikes during this time of year, it may be best to act now. These examples are just few of the hundreds of thousands available. Local churches and schools are also great places to contact to help out families and children. Whether its buying an inexpensive gift at Wal-Mart or picking out canned food from the pantry, no effort will go unappreciated. For those who have grown used to expecting the worst, a little bit goes a long way.

BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer In today % technology Apple unveils their new cat with big claws Attention M ac users - that rejoicing you hear is the familiar s ound of sweet bliss BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer The nation was graced recently when OS X vl0.5 Leopard went on sale at all retailers. Apple is determined to revolutionize the interface of their existing platform and throw it into overdrive. This was the first major update to their existing OS in more than two years, which in Apple's lifetime is considered two years too long. OS X 10.4, or Tiger, came across as everything people wanted in an operating system with useful applications like Spotlight, Dashboard and VoiceOver. Packed with more than 300 new and improved features over Tiger, Leopard is available at a price point starting at a modest $129. New Macs bought a fter October requires an additional $9.95 to have Leopard installed. Minimum requirements to r un the new system are 867 MHz G4 or G5 system with an Intel processor and 512 MB of RAM with at least 9 GB of storage. A DVD reader or burner is also required. Among the major features users will encounter almost immediately include Time Machine, which backs up files after they've been modified. It checks every hour for files that have been modified and copies them to the hard drive. That being said, it would be a good idea to think about purchasing an external hard drive as well. Screen Sharing allows remote access to your computer and vice versa through another via iChat. Leopard utilizes progressive rendering to recreate desktops so that if you're slowed down by a long connection, the process doesn't happen pixel by pixel. This enables people to share photos or music or anything else with friends without having to share an entire hard drive. The Finder has a glossy new facelift as well. Some features now share similarities to the UI in iTunes 7, which includes Cover Flow. The Dock sports a nice reflective shelf for applications to reside to incorporate a stacked view of icons in both a fanned and a grid arrangement. Even Spotlight, which first introduced on Tiger, has received a very substantial upgrade. Users can now search across multiple computers on the same network - u seful for those with a laptop and desktop, or for homes and businesses in which files are randomly stored all over the place. But like any good household, why make the computer a mess? Simply put without expanding on all 300-plus features, Leopard exceeds Apple's vision of perfection. The expectations for it aren't as daunting unlike the arrival of Windows Vista which came under heavy scrutiny for a number of bugs and lack of software compatibility. Asking to compare the two would be like arguing over the same side of a coin. The bottom line is that Leopard provides an elegant UI that Image Courtesy of Apple Inc. The Leopard introduction video now s ports a starry background to complement the outer s pace theme of Time Machine. makes productivity or leisure on a Mac a pleasurable experience. It is a sophisticated, well-crafted piece of technological tool packed with many surprises that does very little to disappoint. �JL l j i l 1 V J l \ J L / 0 F EATURES THE PRIDE ; Tuesday, December 4, 2007 Websit^of The W eek illllllllSllSll BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer a live television show to the desktop.

Then at the end of the day, you will have a clear No. 1 and No. 2 playing in the BCS championship. You will have a clear No. 3 and No. 4 playing at the Rose Bowl. And then the four teams that loss in the first round, you match them up and let them play one another in the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls. But then again, there are still flaws to the system. Just like one can always argue that this team deserved to be in the BCS championship game instead of this team, which always becomes easier after the games are played and there is a blowout. Or this team didn't win their conference; therefore we aren't going to give them a chance at a championship. No matter what happens, or what satisfaction comes for some schools like Hawaii who are finally going to have a chance to prove themselves to a competitive team that felt like they were robbed out the BCS championship game. Now Georgia, like USC are going to have to come out firing on Jan. 1 as Georgia had a chance to make it the BCS championship game but were unable to capitalize like LSU did with a victory over No. 14 Tennessee. But Georgia is going to have a hard time defending one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league. In a must win game against Washington, Brennan completed 42 of 50 passes for 442 yards and 5 touchdowns. Now with a month of rest, Brennan will be the healthiest he has been in a while and will be looking to lead the Warriors to one last victory.

They alone have mastered the skill of making movies with humor and action. Each one has something familiar to each other, but they are all original and refreshing. "No Country For Old Men" is the same. This film has me laughing out loud one moment and out of my chair from tension the next. The direction and performances are doses of brilliance seen so rarely these days. Even though this film has strong hints f rom their other flicks such as "Fargo" and "O Brother, Where A rt Thou" it stays completely original and entertaining. The story follows many characters who become intertwined a fter a d rug deal gone wrong in late 20th century Texas. We follow Llewellyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a country man who stubbles upon $2 million while hunting one day. Since the cash was involved in a bloody d rug t raffic incident, he is in big risk. When angry Mexicans, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), and a psychotic killer named Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) enter the scene, the chase is on. But where this movie soars is in the details. The cinematography and acting are brilliant. Tommy Lee Jones, who has recently been reduced to bad comedies, is on top form. For more proof see "The Three Burials of Melquiadas Estradas", which he also directed. As well Brolin is excellent as a man on the run. But the real award for acting goes to Bardem who gives one of the best performances of a killer in Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures a long time. He has depth unlike so many other villains. And though he is extremely clever, he also makes mistakes, adding to the realism of the piece. I cannot speak highly enough for this film, "No Country For Old Men", is one of the best of 2007. Already it is number 23 on the IMDB top 250 films of all time with an astounding rating of 8.9 out of ten. This film is only for those who can handle intense visuals and tension, but it so worth it. Be prepared to j ump from you seat and yell "Oi!" This is one to watch over and over, so be sure to see it. Rock Band- It goes to eleven BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer After you master Dragonforce on "Guitar Hero 3", where do you go? There is not much more to do besides practice going between the green and orange buttons faster. Well, if you want a little bit more, whether it be new songs, or even a different instrument, "Rock Band" is the game for you. You can still play guitar or bass, but this game takes it two steps further and allows you to hammer it out on drums or wow the crowd with vocals. That's right you have to sing. This game follows very heavily in the vein of the "Guitar Hero" series. The BY BREANNE CAMPOS Pride Staff Writer button structure on the stringed instruments is the same from green to orange. Plus the game is just as difficult on expert. But this one has something that sets it a little bit higher, it is simply more f un. With the capability ofhaving four people, all on different instruments, it naturally is more enjoyable. It is not just about who is better, but also working together to score big. When one person fails, it is up to the rest of the band to "save" them. Playing the drums is addicting and laughs cannot be more bountiful than watching someone trying to keep up singing. The graphics may be a bit weak, but when you are playing with three other people, it feels like you are actually performing. As for the selection of songs, they could not have done better. They took the best songs from some of the greatest bands through rock history to make this game soar. So whether you drum, strum, or sing, anybody can enjoy the pure f un in "Rock Band". I can honestly rate this game very highly. But as you may be aware there is a big problem with this game, namely the price. If you want to rock, you have got to pay. Those who can afford it, go for it. Otherwise, write Santa daily. This game is the perfect blend of f un, difficulty, and rock. music, and a Big Santa.

Over the past five years, tuition has increased in the CSU and UC system by 94 percent and 84 percent, respectively. For lower, working, and now even middle class California students, a college education is quickly becoming afleetingaspiration, as many are being priced out of college. A new "groundbreaking" student movement could change all of that. California students made legislative history on Nov. 14, filing the first-ever student-led ballot initiative to freeze tuition in the CSU and UC systems. If passed, the initiative would suppress any further tuition increases for the next five years and would not permit subsequent tuition increases to surpass the rate of inflation. See INCREASE, page 2 President Haynes announces Brakebill award recipient BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 16, President Karen Haynes announced Dr. Juan Necochea will be the recipient of the 2008 Brakebill Distinguished Professor Award. The highest faculty honor awarded at CSUSM, the Brakebill award is granted annually to a faculty member that demonstrates extraordinary achievement in teaching. The award derives its name from former executive vice chancellor of the Cal State University, Harry E. Brakebill.

"They are already so expensive," said Psychology major Geiiima Fields. "That is almost $100 that I do not have for rent, gas, etcetera. Some people cannot even afford to buy books." Fields explained the increase in parking permit prices might drive some students to park illegally at the shopping center structure across the street from campus. Out of the closest CSU campuses in the area, San Marcos has the most expensive prices compared to San Diego State University's parking permits, which went for $135 for Fall 2007. CSU Fullerton had theirs for $144 and Long Beach for $98.

CSU Board of Trustees submit 2 008/09 budget proposal Student fees slated to increase in near future BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 13-14, the CSU Board of Trustees met in an open session to review the preliminary draft of a state budget request for the 2008/09 CSU academic year. During the brief plenary meeting on Nov. 13, the Trustees implemented an ad hoc committee to review last week's state audit issues on CSU executive compensation. The temporary committee will report to the Trustees during their Jan. 22-23 meeting in Long Beach. The Trustees also established a budget request asking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for state funding for the 2008/09 school year. The governor will announce his proposed budget for the state of California by Jan. 10. The budget request also called for another 10 percent student fee increase in the CSU system. $24 8 Cross country competes in NAIA championship BY TIM MOORE Dina Cervantes, Chair of the housing and transportation costs Pride Staff Writer California State Student Asso- and having to work multiple CSUSM cross country ciation, and Lieutenant Governor jobs.

The Regents and Board of Trustees rejected his proposals last week. "The legislature and the governor don't always make things happen that people want to happen," said campaign director Chris Vaeth in a conference call with student reporters on Nov. 13. Having submitted the initiative, the group will wait on the Attorney General to draft the official title and summary to appear on the petition forms. Volunteers will then collect signatures from January all the way up to the April 17, 2008 deadline. In order to make the ballot for the November 2008 elections, the group will be forced to collect over 400,000 signatures by the April deadline. According to Valeria Fike-Rosales, a lead organizer for the group, Tuition Relief Now has compiled a database of over 1500 interested on-campus organizations, "creating a large volunteer base throughout the UC and C SU" "Because this campaign is volunteer-driven, we have really been trying to increase student organizing on each of these campuses in addition to reaching out to community colleges, high school students, parent organizations, and other community organizations that would have a vested interest in this campaign," said Rosales. Although the group has made an effort to reach out to the UC and CSU faculty unions, according to Vaeth, "they haven't taken a position." However, Vaeth maintained that there have been discussions with the two groups on the matter. "I think once this initiative is filed, it will start to shake out... where people place themselves in support of the initiative and then what they put towards it in terms of volunteers and resources. While the advantages to students are clear, Vaeth asserted that there is also a "corollary benefit" offered by the initiative. Anyone who signs the petition for the initiative must be a registered voter, a challenge that the group will meet by offering on-the-spot voter registration. As a result, Vaeth claims, "we anticipate registering at least 100,000 new, young voters. les, addressed the Committee on Finance saying "Faculty live Garamendi was quick to point with the consequences on our stuout the political underlying of such dents of your decisions.

Under the Higher Education Compact, CSU should see enrollment growth of 2.5 percent, which translates to approximately 445,000 students. However, CSU is expecting an additional 4,000 students in the 2008/09 year. So far, those 4,000 students are not funded in the budget, spelling out more financial trouble if universities do not receive additional funding from the state. The budget also calls for a three percent ($91.1 million) compensation increase for faculty and staff as well as a 2.83 percent increase ($86 million) to address faculty and staff salary lags. According to the California Postsecondary Education Commission, the CSU faculty salary lag is at 12.9 percent. "This budget request positions the CSU to maintaining access and academic quality," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We are asking the state to fund enrollment growth, provide revenue to avoid an increase in student fees, and support compensation increases that will help the system make progress toward its goal of paying market-competitive salaries for faculty and staff."

With the help of the Greenlining Institute, a public policy group, UC and CSU students are rapidly mobilizing to curb tuition increases. This movement coincides with efforts by Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi, who presented a strikingly similar proposal to the UC Regents and the CSU Board of Trustees at their meetings last week.

Last Sunday, despite having a horrific second half, the Chargers managed to defeat the then 7-1 Indianapolis Colts in a brisk and soggy night at Qualcomm. The Chargers fortunes were not the same on Sunday, as they traveled to the east coast to take on the injury prone Jaguars in a game that had playoff implications for both teams. Jaguars quarterback, David Garrard started his first game in nearly a month, after coming back from a high ankle sprain suffered in their October 22nd game against Indianapolis. Garrard pleased the home crowd, completing 15 of 24 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars put up the first points of the game thanks to a 48-yard Josh Scobee field goal. Jacksonville scored again with 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter as running back, Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for a one-yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their first points at Tuesday; November 20, 2007 begins with a question... ... and ends with discovery the ten minute point in the second quarter, on a-23-yard Nate Kaeding field goal. Jacksonville quarterback, David Garrard passed to wide receiver, Reggie Brown through the middle for a 36-yard touchdown, bringing the Jaguars lead to 17-3 at halftime. LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for six yards to the right for a touchdown at the beginning of third quarter, bringing the Chargers within seven points, only for Jacksonville to strike again, this time on a David Garrard to Marcedes Lewis oneyard touchdown pass. The Chargers got their only passing touchdown with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Philip Rivers passed to Antonio Gates through the middle for 24 yards. Jacksonville's defense held the Chargers through the rest of game, resulting in a 24-17 victory, knocking the Chargers off track, and leaving them questioning their future in the playoffs. The Jaguars are now 7-3 on the season. The loss brings the Chargers to a record of 5-5, however, they still remain in first place in the AFC West. The Chargers come back home next Sunday to face the 4-6 Baltimore Ravens at 1:15 p.m. on CBS. The 2008 CSUSM Student Research Competition!

The holiday shopping season spans f rom the middle of November, up u ntil C hristmas day.

Among the f rontrunners f or this holiday season's shopping websites are eBay.com, A mazon, com, Overstock.com, and Shopzilla.com. One of the most recognizable names on the internet is eBay. Since its inception in 1995, eBay, com has become a top ten website in A merica based on hits, eBay is unique to many of the other e -commerce sites, d ueto its use of online auctions that amass the m ajority of sales on the website. eBay is also unique in that the basis is for their service is to serve as the middle-man, connecting sellers to buyers, rather than directly selling products.

Under the leadership of Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Associate Professor of Music, the two ensembles are looking to fill in their r anks with willing and able musicians. "We want to get as many musicians to come out and try-out as possible," said Dr. Imara. However, he also maintained, " "we want musicians who do have some experience." With the Jazz ensemble in particular, Dr. Imara emphasized, "although improvisation is a big part of [Jazz], but we do want people who can read music as well." Like any music group, interested candidates must t ry out and validate themselves in order to j oin either ensemble. Dr. Imara also noted, "it is a competitive t hing...it's not unlike the track team or the baseball team." While the group does demand a solid musical background, they are also looking to embrace a diverse instrumental arrangement. "We're looking for all instrumental musicians. It doesn't have to be a traditional Jazz ensemble, it can b e strings, it can be violin, it can b e any k ind of orchestral instrument." According to Dr. Imara, they plan to play at various j azz festivals, schools, churches, and two unspecified venues in San Diego. Students can also look forward to seeing the two ensembles playing in and around campus next semester. Interested students can contact Dr. Imara by telephone at (760) 750-8007 to arrange a try-out. The Jazz Ensemble meets in ARTS 116 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and the Vocal Ensemble meets in ARTS 111 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Dr. Imara urges those interested to contact him as soon as possible so they can begin practicing for next semester. �FEATURES THE PRIDE November is Native American Month CSUSM's Native population has a place to congregate and give back BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer The American Indian Students Association (AISA) is a CSUSM organization where students are involved in this months' celebration of Native Americans, as well a s activities throughout the year that celebrate and honor Natives in our community. As a part of CSUSM, AISA strives to educate students about Native culture and facilitate leadership opportunities for Native American students. The AISA is involved in cultural events and conferences at high schools and colleges within the community. AISA participates in Intertribal Alliances and organizes fundraisers for Native and non-native communities. The purpose statement for AISA is to "increase awareness and acceptance of American Indian Culture and to promote the educational experience of American Indians on campus by fostering a positive multicultural interaction both in and outside of the classroom." AISA provides spiritual leadership and spiritual events for Natives on campus. They have both a male and female spiritual advisor that students are welcome to contact for guidance. Most recently, AISA is organizing a fundraiser for a plaque to name Tukwut courtyard. The courtyard was renamed from Craven Courtyard to Tukwut Courtyard ear- lier this year and the AISA would like to provide a plaque to signify the name change. In cooperation with the Tribal task force, AISA is accepting donations of household items for the 29 La Jolla families that Jost their home in the recent fires. XlSA is also hosting a Thanksgiving Dinner for those families at Pauma Casino. People who are interested in making cash or household donations are encouraged to contact Claudia McCraine at mccra009@csusm.edu to make their donations. Check out the AISA's web site http://www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more information on activities throughout the year to get involved in. The AISA is participating in are a sweat lodge and potluck ceremony in Alpine ori Dec 1. The potluck is a celebration of the Cherokee winter ceremony to "honor the long night's sleep of the bear." The ceremony starts at 3 p.m. and the sweat lodge at 4 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a side dish or beverage and a stuffed bear to donate to local children. AISA will be joining in a drum circle in Norco on Nov 24. The AISA has many opportunities for students who would like to understand more about their own native culture or become knowledgeable of Native culture.

The lies range from not knowingly taking steroids and lying about being injected with steroids by longtime friend and trainer Greg Anderson. Anderson, who has been in prison since Dec. 7, 2006 for refusing to testify to a grand j ury about Bonds, was released Thursday. Which brings up the question, is he finally going to speak? Being the conspiracy theorist I am, the first question I asked myself was if there was a reason why Anderson was finally released the day after Bonds was indicted? I feel that since the All-Star game was being played in San Francisco and Bonds on the verge of breaking the homerun record this past season.

The Bank credits Mexican food as an Old Town favorite BY JACKIE CARBA JAL Pride Staff Writer Choosing the right dining locale should never be a stressful event. If you're in the mood for traditional Mexican food and are looking for a little history with your meal, look no further than The Bank of Mexican Food in Temecula. Don't let the name fool you. This doesn't involve the exchange of chimichangas for burritos and food, albeit good food, is not considered currency in Temecula. The Bank is simply your typical 'hole in the wall' nestled deep in the heart of Temecula's Old Town Front Street. The building, constructed in 1914, served originally as The First National Bank of Temecula. After enduring a foiled robbery attempt in 1930, closure during WWII, and a short run as an antique shop, The Bank was refurbished into a Mexican style restaurant in 1978. Priding itself as the second oldest restaurant in Temecula, the newly remodeled eatery still maintains t he ambiance of the Old West. Guests receive nothing short of attentive service upon walking through the double paneled doorway of the quaint building with its high ceilings and Mexican art adorned walls. On a warm day, patio seating is available with the view of not only other Old Town buildings, but also a fountain waterfall. Upon seating, the server will bring out tortilla chips and dipping salsa. As tasty as it may be, take caution in filling up on this complimentary appetizer. Meals range in price from $3.45 quesadillas to $11.95 carnitas or carne asada. The menu offers combination platters of up to three traditional Mexican entrees for $8.95. If you consider ordering the El Banco burrito, I suggest requesting the salsa to a minimum unless you prefer soup in your burrito. The carne asada burrito is a great choice. If you prefer your burritos packed with goodness, make sure you fill it Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride up with the beans and rice that come with the plate. Drinks offered include Old Town Bottled Root beer, Horchata and Margaritas. Each entrée comes with rice and beans and select entrees include The Bank's signature guacamole in a decadent miniature tortilla shell. The Bank's historical significance and one of a kind featuresguests have the option of dining in the exclusive bank vault-will stay with you long after the fullness in your tummy subsides. If you remember to limit your chip and salsa intake and keep your combination plate to a minimum, you may still have room for one of the three dessert options offered. Aside from the choices of flan and deep fried ice cream, the $2.25 churro definitely takes the cake(so to speak). Filled inside with custard and served with whipped cream, The Bank's churro is a far cry from your typical amusement park treat. With this restaurant as a destination choice, you needn't stop there. Old Town Street itself boasts numerous attractions such as old time photography, live entertainment, and nearby wineries. On weekends, The Bank offers an alluring breakfast menu with some entrees served all day. For a dining experience that matches food quality, The Bank proves to be the perfect investment. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Kona Brewing Company brews Pipeline Porter in Kona, Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy and son Spoon Khalsa founded the brewery in spring of 1994. The brewery has three main brews: Big Wave Golden Ale; Longboard Islander Lager; and Fire Rock Pale Ale. The brewery brews other specialty beers and limited edition releases, such as Pipeline Porter. The brewery mainly sells in Hawaii but also sells to other regions in the United States, Japan, and China. The brewery also operates two pubs. Kona released their limited e dition Pipeline Porter on October 1st. 100% Kona Coffee comprises the porter along with chocolate and caramel malts. The porter won a silver medal under the "Other Beer" category in this year's Australian International Beer Awards. The porter's label contains a surfer with a longboard making his way to the ocean to ride some pipelines. Dark brown, light blue and dark orange comprise the colors utilized for the scene. The porter's orange bottle cap caps a beer with an alcohol by volume of 5.4%. The porter pours smooth creating a small tan head. Naturally, coffee aroma dominates the lovely scent rising from the glass. The porter has a rich black composition. The porter enters the mouth calmly. Upon entry, gentle waves of sweet chocolate and soothing coffee wash all corners of the mouth. The porter continues down the throat leaving the mouth, tongue, and taste buds in state of comatose. The brewery recommends paring the porter with hearty soups and stews, roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and mashed potatoes, especially on a cold day. Skip Starbucks on Thanksgiving and stroll over to Beverages and More for a delicious coffee flavored treat. Pipeline Porter's smooth chocolate and coffee flavors clearly make this brew the best beer of the week for this semester thus far.

X VIII NO. 12 CSUSM cross country teams seek first N AIA National Championship Writers Guild of America on Strike ' W Chasing victory The recent debate over the Cal State University executive compensation controversy received its first official governmental examination on Nov. 9, 2007. The California Bureau of State Audits weighed in last week, releasing its findings of an audit on the executive compensation practices of the CSU. The report, titled California State University: It Needs to Strengthen Its Oversight and Establish Stricter Policies for Compensating Current and Former Employees, comes at the request of the Assembly Speaker Fabian Nufiez, Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, State Senator Leland Yee, and the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. At a weighty 115 pages, the audit reveals various "questionable" practices in CSU executive compensation policy.

Though it was a running joke that he and Jon Stewart would run for the presidency, there was no seriousness in this idea. That is, until Oct.16, when Colbert announced he would run for president on the Democratic ballot in South Carolina. A few weeks later, the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council rejected his candidacy in a 13-3 vote. Given the nature of his show on Comedy Central, The Colbert Report, many felt he would not be a serious candidate. "The general sense of the council was that he wasn't a serious candidate and that was why he wasn't selected to be on the ballot," said Joe Werner, director of the S.C. Democratic Party. Colbert's brief candidacy raises important questions as to whether or not someone with no official government experience could become president. His candidacy has also drawn comparisons to both Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, both actors turned government leaders. In less than a month the "1,000,000 Strong for Stephan T Colbert" Facebook group gained almost 1.5 million members, and continues to grow. But, he certainly has had more appeal to the youth of the country than other possible candidates. This has not gained just the interest of the online community, but See COLBERT, page 2 President Haynes honored by Business Journal BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Business Journal recently honored Cal State San Marcos President, Karen Haynes, one of the "Women Who Mean Business in San Diego County."

The government officials had when I requested the audit in the first place. CSU clearly needs opposed to the CSU executive to establish vigorous standards compensation practices have also been early authors of legislation directed at regulating the very practices addressed in the report. Senator Yee's SB 190 passed through Governor Schwarzenegger's office with a signature of approval last month, requiring all executive compensation packages to be voted in open session. On Nov. 12, the California Faculty Association released its analysis of the findings in a report titled, Weak Oversight & Poor CSU Policies Favor Executive Perks: An analysis of the state audit of CSU compensation policies and practices. CFA President Lillian Taiz cites a "large expenditure of foundation funds to further compensate already well-paid executives" as yet another faulty executive compensation practice. Despite these proclamations, CSU officials rendered a much more optimistic analysis of the findings of the audit. In a message to all CSU employees issued Nov. 6, Chancellor Reed maintains "the findings show that no policies were violated, and concludes that none of the actions taken by the CSU were inappropriate." According to the Chancellor, "the CSU is open to having audits because I believe that audits give us the opportunity to examine our policies and our processes and improve them. The CSU's official response to the report states, "the CSU agrees in nearly all cases with the auditor's recommendations." * The marked polarity of these responses suggests the debate over executive compensation practices in the CSU system will endure for some time to come. Given criticism of growing executive salaries amidst gaping budget shortfalls, this issue could very well prove to be a point of contention at the upcoming CSU Board of Trustees Meeting. The Trustees will meet this week to discuss and vote on the CSU's budget request. Among their considerations, the Trustees will be forced to reckon with Governor Schwarzenegger's recent warning that the State budget shortfall will increase by $2 billion. He also cautioned all State departments to anticipate budget cuts upwards of 10 percent. Although CSU indicated they "will be acting on some recommendations immediately and on the others as soon as feasible," the meeting schedule released on the CSU website does not indicate the Trustees will address the findings and recommendations of the audit report at the meeting this week. However, the Trustees have made official plans to discuss the matter when they meet again in January. sen poll placed Colbert ahead of Republican candidate Ron Paul and Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich. A similar poll placing Colbert against Rudy Guiliani and Hillary Clinton showed Colbert at 12% support, mainly in the 18-29 age bracket. It started as a joke, but it was serious enough for South Carolina to take action. Though not made public, another reason against letting him run is the fact that, should he win, it would take away elec- toral votes from other candidates. This would be similar to the situation in pre-civil war times when Republican Abraham Lincoln won as president because the Democrats were split between their north and south candidates.

Originally known as Armistice Day, the 11th of November is what we now call Veteran's day in the United States. It is dedicated to remembering those who have served in any of the five branches of the armed forces. At CSUSM, an event was held Thursday during University Hour to commemorate the holiday. However, for some CSUSM students the day is just another reminder of the struggles our men and women are facing, both at home and abroad. With Camp Pendleton—one of the largest military bases in the United States—just west of campus, the population of military personnel and their families at the university is strikingly high. CSUSM Psychology major Bianca Reynoso said she finds her husband's deployments hard to deal with, especially on top of having to deal with the stress of being a student. She said she has been through four deployments—three of which have been to Iraq and one to Korea, and insisted it is important to see the holiday as more than just a day off from school and work. "They sacrifice a lot," she said. "In other countries it is mandatory to be in the military, but here it is optional." Reynoso said that when her husband, a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps, is deployed it just adds to her stress because "When he's gone I'm all alone, there is no one to come home to, not to vent to about my day," she said. While CSUSM offers services for veterans at Craven Hall where Vets can come for assistance with GI Bills and various application processes, Reynoso said she wished there was some sort of support group for the families of those who have someone fighting overseas. "It would be cool if they had a group of spouses," she said. "That way when your husband is gone you can find support from other people who are going through the same thing." November is Native American Month. American Indian Student Alliance's CSUSM chapter is hosting several events to honor the occasion. Several Speakers have been arranged to speak on Native American culture. Speakers include Earl Sisto and Mel Vernon. Earl Sisto's discussion will focus on urban and reservation life for Native Americans at noon in the Forum Plaza. Mel Vernon will be speaking on protecting and preserving Native American culture on Nov. 27. Movies, produced by natives such as "Smoke Signals, In the Light of Reverence," and "We are Still Here" are showing throughout the month. The two-time Sundance award winning movie "Smoke Signals" is playing at 4 p.m. in Markstein Hall. "In the Light of Reverence," afilmillustrating the struggles of Natives to preserve sacred rights is showing in Clarke 131 at 6 p.m. "We are Still Here," a film exploring the Cahuilla Natives from Southern California is playing in Arts 240 at 4 p.m. A discussion panel will follow the viewing of "In the Light of Reverence and We are Still Here." A basket weaving demonstration hosted by Yvonne Trottier, will be held on Nov. 15 and the Texcatlipoca Dancers are performing on Nov. 29 at noon in the Forum Plaza. Claudia McCrane, president of the AISA, said the purposes of these events are to "honor Native American culture and tradition as well as giving students an opportunity to learn about their origins and ancestry." AISA is working together with the Tribal Task force to help native families who have been affected by the recent fires. They are putting together a drive for food, blankets, clothes, and bedding. In addition, AISA and the Tribal Task force will provide a dinner for the 29 La Jolla families who lost their homes in the fires. For students who are interested in getting involved throughout the year look at AISA's web site: www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more information. iPhone Killer? The Googleverse is about to get a whole lot bigger BY ELBERT'ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer Apparently Google has borrowed a step Microsoft - conquering the Internet just wasn't enough for them. Though there is not an actual, physical phone as of yet, the confirmation of Google's step into the mobile market has been met with both immense anticipation and speculation. The hope is that consumers utilize their software to add new appli- cations and upgrades to already existing phones and future smartphones beginning sometime next year. Some of the early feedback on the project has already dubbed it the iPhone killer because of Google's almost limitless innovations in software design and advancement. "You will be able to do amazing things with your mobile device that you had never thought of before,", said Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt. "This announcement is more ambitious than any single Google Phone that the press has been speculating about over the past few weeks. Our vision is that the powerful p latform w e're u nveiling w ill p ower thousands of different phone models." Among the companies that have thrown their support include some of the big mobile companies like LG Electronics, Samsung, and Motorola. If these companies decide to implement the Google software, then that would get rid of the Windows Mobile Media which they have paid to use. Google's platform would be free. This platform is being tentatively called Android and hardware and software support from over 30 companies. Qualcomm Inc., the local telecommunications devel- In today 's technology oper based out of Sorrento Valley, is also included. Local providers Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint-Nextel also are building upon negotiations with Google to use their services with their phones, a contrast to the exclusive contract that AT&T Wireless and Apple has had to market their iPhone. As the anticipation continues to build, there has also been a share of detractors who are also eager to call it a failure before it even hits the market. "When all is said and done, Google is actually not a charismatic company that can make this new platform happen in a big way," commented John C. Dvorak, a PC Magazine writer. "The most successful [phone] looks to be the iPhone, but much of that enthusiasm has to do with the mystique of Apple and the promotion of the phone's "uniqueness." And the phone is indeed unique." With already 3 billion cell phones out in the market, such diversity could also open new doors for Google as they want people to use phones as easy as their other software. The first phone should be out sometime in the middle of 2008. C SUSM S tudents with a valid School ID receive an extra 1 5 % off Tanning and Salon products A ZUSA PACIFIC ZACH MILLER, B.S.

Digg.com combines aspects of social bookmarking, blogging, and syndication to create one of the best sources of news on the web; for the people, by the people. The premise of Digg, is that after users submit links to news stories, the stories are voted on (dugg) by other users for content, relevance, and interest. If a story receives enough votes, it will be displayed on the front page of the site. This method offers a variation from the standard editorial system of major news websites. Digg categorizes submissions under a number of categories, all of which include sub-categores that delve deeper into the specifics of an article. The Main categories include: News, Technplogy, Science, World and Business, Sports, Entertainment, and Gaming. There fare also sections for Videos and Podcast^. ¿ D iggcovers a hugely broad range of headlines, from "Linux wins Nigerian school desktops back from Microsoft" to "Mark Wahlberg will star in Max Payne movie!" Digg has been subject to a number of complaints, mainly centered around the idea that the users have too much control over content, thus harvesting potential misinformation. In early May, Digg came under fire after a user posted an encryption key for cracking the HD DVD and Blu-ray formats. Digg took action on the advice of lawyers and took down the story. The Digg community revolted after what was the site's first major sign of editorial, censorship, and banded together to include the encryption key in numerous front page submissions and comments. The actions of the users prompted this statement from digg founder Kevin Rose: "After seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you've made it clear. You'd rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company." Digg takes out the middle man and allows the readers themselves to decide what is interesting. Digg.com is revolutionizing the way news is delivered, read, and perceived. I Wä^^ng* ^TtüfFic* and High Gums Príccs?

JPhqto courtesy ofKyle Trembley, Sports Information Director Chargers move intofirstplace with big win over Colts BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday night's game with a record of 4-4, looking to capitalize on the Indianapolis Colts loss of momentum. The Colts received their first loss of the season in week nine against the New England Patriots, in the most highly touted game of the season. The Chargers struck quick and held the lead, relying on their superb pass protection, in front of a packed and soggy Qualcomm Stadium. The Chargers came right out of the gate with a bang, as Darren Sproles returned the opening kickoff for 89 yards and a touchdown. Seven plays into the ensuing Colts possession, Quarterback Peyton Manning threw an interception to Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie. Cromarte has made a name for himself in the past four weeks, intercepting six passes; three of which were in Sunday night's game. Just under three minutes later another Manning pass was intercepted, this time by linebacker, Shaun Phillips. Chargers kicker, Nate Kaeding nailed a 33-yard field goal at the 7:14 mark in the first quarter, bringing the Chargers lead to 1 0-0. After a three-and-out drive by Indianapolis, Darren Sproles returned yet another kick or a touchdown, this time a punt for 4 5 y ards. Later in the first, yet another Manning pass was intercepted, again by Antonio Cromartie. Through only 15 minutes of play Manning had already thrown three interceptions. 22 seconds into the second quarter, another Manning pass was picked off by Cromartie, making it Cromartie's third interception of the game, tying his season total in just under 16 minutes of play. The Chargers scored again with 8:47 to go in the second quarter, on a LaDainian Tomlinson four yard rush, pushing the lead to 23-0. The Colts finally got on the board late in the second, as Manning passed to wide receiver* Reggie Wayne for eight yards.

The Chargers took a 23-7 lead into half time, providing some cushion for the unpredictable Colts offense lead by Manning. Manning's unpredictability continued into the third quarter, as he threw his fifth interception, this time picked off by linebacker Matt Wilhelm. The Colts comeback push started early in the fourth quarter as Manning passed to reserve running back, Kenton Keith for a seven yard touchdown, then converted the two point attempt on a pass to tight end, Bryan Fletcher. On the ensuing possession, Chargers quarterback, Philip Rivers fumbled. The ball was recovered by Colt's linebacker, Gary Bracket in the end zone for a touchdown. The Colts failed the two point attempt, keeping the score at 23-21, Chargers. The Colts, down by just two points had an opportunity to take the lead with 1:30 left in the game, and kicker, Adam Vinatieri missed his second field goal of the night. This kick was an easier 29-yard shot, and this time, costing the Colts the lead, and potentially the victory. The Chargers narrowly escaped the Colts after scoring no second half points, on the way to one of their biggest wins of the season. The loss brings the Colts record to 7-2. The Chargers are now 5 -4 v and have sole possession of first place. The Chargers travel to Florida next Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

But the looks could be deceiving as the Ducks have played two more games than the Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks who trail the Ducks by one point. But with only seven wins in 18 games, the Ducks need help. Niedermayer's free agent replacement, Mathieu Schneider recently returned from the injured reserve and has helped spark the team to a 3-1-1 record over five games where he has two goals and five assist in that span. But if the Ducks want to make a push in the playoffs, they will need to find out what Niedermayer's plans are. Is he going to retire, or is he going to return. So they can make moves to improve the team. But the main hope is that he will return to the team next month, where he will earn near $4 million of his $6.75 million contract, saving the Ducks $2.75 million in salary cap room and having a possibility to make a move towards acquiring a possible star forward who will become a free agent towards the trade deadline.

Broadway has done this well with ABBA and Billy Joel in "Mamma Mia!" and "Movin' Out", respectively. However, there have been limited voyages into the film medium. For the longest time, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" has been the only entry to speak of in this sub-genre. But thanks to the work of director Julie Taymor, a fitting musical tribute has been made to the Beatles in "Across the Universe". "Across the Universe" is the story of Jude, a 20-something British man, who travels to America to meet his father. In the process, he meets Max, a college student, and they become friends after some 'American hospitality' and 'a little help from his friends'. When Jude goes to Max's home for Thanksgiving, he meets his sister Lucy, with whom he falls in love. Then begins the main plot as the three travel to New York City to see what life is all about. Along the way they meet Sadie, a middle aged club singer, Jo Jo, a guitarist who suffered through the Detroit City Riots, and Prudence, a young women who discovers Image courtesy ofInterscope.com she is different from other girls. These characters share experiences in turbulent 1970s America. All the while, 30 Beatles songs are masterfully splashed into the plot. Plus, the cameos by Bono, Eddie Izzard, Selma Hayek, Joe Cocker, and others pack a musical punch. But unlike recent celluloid musicals, "Chicago", "Moulin Rouge", "Hairspray", the main characters in this movie are likely to be performers you are not familiar with. The difference is they do not go 'over the top' in their performances and can flat out sing. For Beatles fans, this movie has some surprises as songs lyrics are woven into the dialogue and as you may have guessed, the characters names. When you take the music from the greatest group of all time and put it in a musical, it is no surprise that it would also be great. This movie caused me to fall in love all over again with some of my favorite songs, and I now have the soundtrack on my iPod constantly. Despite a few scenes of weak dialogue, this movie is awesome. It opened in select cities a while back, but now is coming to local theaters, so check your local listing. All you need is love, and to see this movie. Pub & Grill BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Abita Brewing Company brews Purple Haze in Abita Springs, Louisiana. Abita Springs sits 30 miles north of New Orleans. Currently, the company brews over 62,000 barrels of beer and 3,000 barrels of root beer. Unlike most root beer companies, the brewery uses sugar cane as the source of sugar for their root beer. The brewery has a diverse line of brews including Turbodog which earned number one beer in America by "Stuff Magazine" in August, 2005. The brewery proudly uses Abita pure spring water that has been tested free of manmade contaminants. The brewery solely utilizes spring water, malted bare1 e y, hops, and yeast in all of their recipes. The brewery does not use preservatives. They also focus on being an environmental efficient company. The brewery uses 70% less energy than traditional brewing methods. They also maintain a wastewater treatment plant and use a specific packaging technique to ensure the lowest usage of recycled paper as possible. The depleted grain and hops employed in the manufacturing process feeds cattle for local Abita farmers. Naturally, purple hues dominate the cardboard packaging containing six 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The design of the content printed on the packaging remains simplistic and elementary. The labels on the bottles contain the same format. However, a shiny silver line adds charisma to the shades of purple. A silver bottle cap with the word "Abita!" stamped onto it caps a beer with 4.75% alcohol by volume. The raspberry wheat beer pours smooth with almost no head. Aromas similar to raspberry champagne occupy the surrounding atmosphere. The beer also mimics the bright golden rays comparable to most champagne. The beer sends tingling sensations to the tongue and cheeks upon entry. A mellow sensation follows after the beer descends onward. The beer has a more biscuit flavor than raspberry flavor. Only briefly between sip and swallow can traces of raspberry be found. The brewers recommend enjoying the beer with salads or light f ruit desserts. They even recommend enjoying the beer as a dessert after dinner by itself. For another delicious f ruit oriented brew, consider sampling Pyramid's Apricot Hefeweizen. Cheers! BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The moment I walk into Hensley's Flying Elephant Pub and G rill, I am greeted with a warm and cheerful feeling. The décor is a little rockabilly, a little California, punk rock, and Irish. Powerful red walls and black highlightsflowthroughout the restaurant. Located on Tamarack Ave near the 1-5, the pub is a quick jump off the freeway and a walk from the beach. It possesses a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. There is usually something going on every night of the week. Regular spots are filled Wednesday through Saturday with live music and Sunday is Happy Hour all day. Tuesday nights the pub features an eightball double elimination pool tournament. Registration for the tournament is eight dollars and prizes are awarded to first, second, and third place. On Wednesday nights, Joe Wood and the Lonely Boys entertain patrons with road- house blues. On Thursday nights, the owner, Matt Hensley, formerly of the band Flogging Molly, and friends play traditional Irish music. Saturday nights feature various artists and often host philanthropic events to benefit the local community. Check out the web site for changes or special events at wwwhensleyspub.com. Football and soccer are viewed on plasma screens above the bar. In the back of the pub is a dance floor and stage for special events and parties. The most popular dish on the menu is the $2.95 fish taco. Entrees vary in price from $5.25 for sandwiches to $15.00 for the Guinness battered shrimp. Throughout the week, the pub offers specials on drinks and on Sundays the Happy Hour menu includes a variety of dishes. Music starts early so come around 7:30 to enjoy the entertainment with dinner.

With the initial state of emergency having dissipated, South- CSUSM steps up emergency preparedness ern California residents and state officials are now moving into a recovery phase. This past week, fire fighters continued battling the remaining flames. As of Thursday, Nov. 1, only the Poomacha and Santiago fires continued to burn in California of the 23 fires that plagued the state less than a week ago. In regards to the two remaining fires, fire officials expected full containment by Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 respectively. With evacuations lifted this past week, homeowners and city officials began assessing damages.

As part of an effort to provide all possible emergency preparedness resources to students, faculty, and staff, Emergency Management activated the MIR3 IN (Intelligent Notification) system. The system allows students, faculty, and staff to be notified of an emergency through a variety of means. According to an e-mail sent out by the Office of Communications to all students, "MIR3 IN has been thoroughly tested and was scheduled to be implemented last week." The e-mail went on to explain, "Although the wildfires prevented implementation, the need for a comprehensive emergency notification system has been underscored by recent events." Notifications can be sent in the form of SMS text messages, calls to cell phones, and calls to home phones; with users having the ability to choose desired forms of notification based on the information they provide. With this new system, users will be able to update their secure notification contact information online at anytime. Participation in the program is not automatic and is entirely voluntary. For those interested in the program, simply go to the Emergency Management website (http://www.csusm.edu/ep/ Alert) and follow the brief registration instructions. Sherray Blythe leads a group of students in re-establishing Black student organization. BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer For African-American students at Cal State San Marcos, the Black Student Union is the only group devoted to bringing together the African-American community on campus. Until recently, the BSU, a vital resource for an already underrepresented minority at CSUSM, had come to a standstill and ceased to be. However, students at CSUSM have recently mobilized to revive the dormant organization. Lead by Sherray Blythe, the newly restored group held its first meeting on Oct. 17. Blythe, the new BSU president and an active member in several campus organizations, said, "It [BSU] has been up before, but people never went to meetings." Senior, Dominique Younger, characterized the previous CSUSM women's soccer first ever playoff game BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM women's soccer made history Wednesday, as the Cougars defeated Concordia in the first playoff appearance in the program's two-year history. In just the 15th minute, Taylor Ziencina scored from 18-yards out over Concordia goal keeper, Suzanne Torres thanks to an Annica Perez assist, to give the Cougars the early 1-0 lead. In the 52nd minute, Ziencina struck again on a penalty kick. Concordia bounced back, and just three minutes later, scored their only goal of the game, bringing the score to 2-1. The Cougars defense held strong throughout the game, proving to be the guiding light en route to the program's most important win ever. The win meant the Cougars would go up against the #2 ranked Azusa Pacific team that they faced earlier in the season, losing by a score of 1-0. The stage was set for yet another upset Friday, as the Cougars made the trip to Azusa to face a team that was undeSee SOCCER, page 3 attempt at the BSU as "not a financially stable situation."

With the entire infrastructure of the previous BSU left bare, the first order of business at the Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride meeting was the nomination of willing individuals to fill vacant executive and administrative positions.

The Cougars patience paid off, as they placed first, punching their ticket to the National Championships. Seniors Juan Mejia and Sergio Gonzalez led the CSUSM pack, much in the way they have done for the majority of the season. Mejia finished third overall with a time of 24:50. Gonzalez finished just five seconds back, with a time of 24:55. The Cougars had a strong showing from senior transfer, Sean Brosnan, who finished 12th overall with a time of 25:31. Freshmen, Alex Guaderama and Patrick Fitzgerald had strong showings in the middle of the pack that were key to the overall victory.

During lews conference Thursday in Rancho rnardo, San Diego mayor, Jerry Sanders, urged people in the community to sign up for the project in order to speed up the removal process. "The program will make sure that homeowners are protected from scam artists and make sure that their properties are cleaned up in an environmentally proper way," said Mayor Sanders. On Oct. 28, the Chargers hosted a home game at Qualcomm stadium, which just days prior housed more than an estimated 10,000 evacuees according to numbers released at the City of San Diego website. Fans donated more than $72,500 at the game and the donations were immediately handed over to the Salvation Army and family members of injured firefighters. According to the Associated Press, the NFL and NFL Players Association will donate $250,000 through a disaster relief fund, which will directly aid victims of the San Diego wildfires. Celebrities Gwen Stefani and David Beckham also offered donations of their own. Singer Gwen Stefani held a concert in San Diego on Oct. 30 and donated all proceeds from the concert to the San Diego Foundation, a local charity helping victims of the Southern California wildfires. "When I heard about the devastation of the fires, at first I felt I should cancel my show out of respect, but then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution," Stefani said Oct. 29, in a radio interview.

"We feel invisible here on campus," said Sherray Blythe. One of the main concerns at the meeting was increasing the visibility of the BSU at CSUSM. Students suggested reaching out to the community and local high schools to promote the presence of a united African-American community at CSUSM. They also hope to draw more CSUSM students into the group. Because the group is still in its infancy, ironing out the financial situation was also a hot topic on the meeting's agenda. Danyelle, a sophomore, suggested the group look into "creative ways to do fundraising." Apart from the logistical issues covered at the meeting, students were also attentive to the overall welfare of the newly reformed BSU and its members. "We should come together,".said one student, emphasizing the need for "team building activities." The group also communicated intentions to meet and connect with other BSU's as one of many things in store for the future of the BSU. Building on this new momentum, the BSU stands poised to become a prominent presence on campus. The BSU encourages interested students to attend the weekly meetings on Thursdays during University Hour in Library 1111. ¡§ 11:15<4:10PM suspedLprmd 4 ! 1 0 /16|af 1 0:30AM- ' Mlfcc^M -gSj e ^trylrttoi 2 doorHonda JJgjJ | . in l |ff9pri unknown ^ a ^ c t ^ kmedmjot P, ai^'^tempted 21 bro|e icig) a vehicle Osteal vehicfepjf h btwfe^ I a window, but no propëi^was ^p^SrAaf^je d S S ^ ' . s totóril'T^ìy^ j gj •0/18/0l5:25PM lj OaksJ V^l^oplgoffl^p c^tact^B oi ¡2 3 n d i | & i n a Ä 2 | & y o t | Ä ( ¡TtfSfe, SSmrSÊm 1mm ^ ^ S ^ HÄ ptMsmädn p f ^ j ^ g M ^ ™ ^ t wjndMduais w è f ^ ^ ^ p n d * M ù i B,an officer i û m m 2 :00AM A p p l ^ ^ e i p ooifiputertmm^the J individuals \n é^ehicte, a n ^ ^ University Bookstore. f he value foïowedthem on to è &iïgm^ is An 'mm i t | | g | * ¡¡¡¡¡¡I ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡J j1| 8 :20AM-5:30PM m$e • f 2 000 ftldKCivicp a ri^dM'ot < Chavez steps, 1 0/16/071:00AM In paridng lot <X an officer encountered a male under the age of 21, andfoundhim to be in possession of aicxjilii l ^ w a r , j not cited, b utle was referred to I : -'|fe:Peart of S tudentS^^W^M _ In lot N, an officer on bike patrol contacted a couple thai were them over for & traffic vioiatói, * ^ arguing.

Chargers record now 4 - 4 after losing to the Vikings on Sunday BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday's game fresh off of a heartwarming victory last week in fire ravaged San Diego. The Chargers stepped onto the field in Minnesota, Sunday looking to capitalize on a 2-5 Vikings team that has already seen its ups and downs. Vikings rookie running back, Adrian Peterson stood between the Chargers, and their hopes of winning their fourth straight game. Peterson, one of the highest touted rookies drafted in April, saw huge success at the University of Oklahoma, where he set the NCAA freshman rushing record with 1,925 yards en route to nearly winning the Heisman Trophy. While the Chargers scored f irst, on a LaDainian Tomlinson rush, the real story was the p erformance of Peterson. Peterson rushed his way into the record books, passing Jamal Lewis by one yard for first all-time rushing yards in a game, with 296 yards. Peterson first struck near the two-minute mark in the first quarter on a short rush to the left. Despite Peterson's performance, the biggest highlight came at the end of the second quarter, when Viking's kicker, Ryan Longwell missed a 57-yard field goal. Waiting in the end zone was Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who caught CLASSIFIEDS "Loòkmg tohire individual to write a weekly column on ^Wodààtìoa Techaoïogy" its i ters, andtocómepotential.

Minnesota came back strong in third quarter, tying the game at 14-14, as Peterson rushed for a 64 yard field goal. Minnesota scored again, this time through the air, as quarterback Brooks Bollinger passed to wide receiver, Sidney Rice for a 40 yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their last points early on in the fourth quarter, on a 36-yard, Nate Kaeding field goal. Adrian Peterson scored once again for the Vikings, this time, at 7:44 in the fourth, rushing for 46 yards. Vikings back up running back, Chester Taylor scored on a two yard rush with 4:28 remaining in the game, to solidify the victory. The final score was 35-17 Vikings, in a game that saw two all-time NFL records get shattered. The Vikings, relying heavily on the success of Peterson, improve their record to 3-5. The loss brings the Chargers to an even 4-4 record, with the pivotal part of the season knocking on the door. The Chargers face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday on Sunday Night Football at 5:15 p.m. on NBC. The Colts are fresh off of their first loss of the season, Sunday, losing to the now 9-0 New England Patriots.

The city of Washington D.C. is actually a place to visit if you enjoy cool weather and, of course, the history of the foundation of our country. The city, masked by the White House and Capital building, is one of those places where one would find something to do, even for those who may break into a rash by the thought of a history lesson. With a wide variety of pubs, restaurants and night clubs, there is something to do for everyone. However, if you are like me and enjoy a good travel back in time, Washington D.C. is a place where you must go at least once in your life time. The most obvious attraction is the White House, where the President and First Lady live. Scores of tourists visit this site every day, as well as its usual batch of anti-Bush protesters. However, while the White House is the icon of the city, its most interesting attractions reside in the National Mall. One must-see spot is the Washington Monument, built in the 1800's in memory of George Washington. It stands more than 500 feet tall, surrounded by American Flags. On any given day one can visit inside the monument and experience the tributes to the nation's first president. To the west of the Washington Monument lies the Reflecting Pool, a wide rectangular pool leading westward to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. The Lincoln Memorial is one the most breath-taking monuments in the National Mall. Built to commemorate the life and achievement of the nation's 16 president, it consists of a large sculpture of a sitting Lincoln and two of his well-known speeches carved along the walls. But the Lincoln Memorial has also been the site of many famous speeches, including the 1963 Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech at the height of the civil rights movement. A rectangular step has been carved out in memory of the King's speech at the very spot where he stood all those years ago. The Potomac River is the body of water with its most historical significance in the th area. Once crossed by General Lee to invade the North during the civil war, the Potomac River is also known to be a place where George Washington spent much of his life.

Then there is the egotistical Kobe who was put in his place by Lakers fans when he was booed during introductions opening night. Fans eventually opened up to Kobe as he once again carried the team to a loss. When I saw the introductions to the game and heard the fans booing him, it brought a huge smile on my face. After everything that Kobe has done: forced Shaq out of LA, bought his freedom in Colorado and now demanding a trade from "his" team. Here is some advice for Kobe. Grow Up! Make some sacrifices for once. You can carry a team to a T or 8 seed, but you aren't going to do much more.

I will start by talking about A-Rod and how he choose the biggest day in his sport to announce that he is opting out of his contract. A-Rod showed no respect for the game, the Boston Red Sox, and the World Series - something that he has never played for. A-Rod rejected an offer by the New York Yankees because they failed to offer a prerequisite of $350 million starting bid.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Christmas in October BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Do you know when Christmas starts? Historically, Chflstmas falls on December 25 . Some people celebrate the twelve days of Christmas, or get an advent calendar and count down all the days in December, while doing things like listening to the world's most annoying songs while watching Family Channel holiday movies. You know, I hate the people with advent calendars. Eat your little Christmas tree shaped piece of chocolate every day and shut up. And in case I wasn't angry enough at the 'month o' Christmas' people, I always end up walking into one of those stores that plays "Frosty the Snowman" on a consistent loop starting on Thanksgiving. But there's a new breed rising. A hideous breed. I can't walk in to the drug store/grocery store/porn store without running into a Christmas aisle in the middle of October. What the hell is going on?

Silem Mohammad Flarfpoety gives CSUSM a post Halloween Trick or Treat BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer "When Snoopy goes Hawaiian, is it art?" A shrewd philosophical question posed by contemporary poet K. Silem Mohammad during his reading Thursday Nov. 1 at Cal State San Marcos. Mohammad, author of poetic collections "Deer Head Nation", "A Thousand Devils", and "Breathalyzer", is an associate professor of language, literature, and philosophy at Southern Oregon University. Most notably, however, Mohammad is a key participant in theflarfpoetry movement. While difficult to pinpoint an exact definition, flarf is a fairly new trend in poetry today that focuses on the use of Internet search engines to find and piece together quirky phrases. The end result becomes a purposely disturbing and oftentimes humorous assemblage of nonsense. In Mohammad's own words, flarf itself is "essentially/a method of collage unlike any other." Poet Gary Sullivan first used the term flarf as part of the title of an intentionally bad poem he submitted to Poetry.com in order to test the standards of the publication. Soon after, the Flarflist Collective, a group of writers, including Mohammad and Sullivan, formed. According to Mohammad, the flarf movement originated out of sheer boredom. "It was something to do when you're supposed to be working. A way to avoid facing real life," Mohammad said. For his part, Mohammad kept much ofhis browsing exclusively to Google, com. When asked about his choice in poetic devices, he confessed, "The Google thing is like an addiction. I'm not proud of it." He joked. "I'm like the poster child. Don't let this happen to you." In Mohammad's defense, why bother looking elsewhere when the popular search engine rendered such peculiar lines in the first place? In his poem "Exorcist Voice", Mohammad read, "O.M.G. Your hair is so Jurassic Park," and the poem "Anti Ass" included the line, "Your butt is like a performance car, baby. Uber hotness, like, I don't know." Mohammad's words read strange on paper but as a performance piece, they transformed into a rare interpretive art that left the audience laughing out loud one minute and deep in thought the next. His shift in tone, volume, accent and speed further accentuated humor throughout the evening. In his upcoming book, Dutch Sound, the poem Bionic Iraqis reads "No. I am not okay. You sat on me. Oh well. Enough about me." It's difficult to ignore the controversial nature to Mohammad's choice in poetic titles and content. This poet revels in it, choosing shock value as yet another poetic device. Anything political, contentious, vulgar, or shamefully humorous is fair game in the writings of K. Silem Mohammad. The poet however manages his work with class. No matter how shocking one line may be, the following could potentially have an insightful twist. That ability in itself is exactly what generates such a following for theflarfmovement and Mohammad's poems. The final Community and World Literary Series event this semester is Thursday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. in Academic Hall 102. The event will feature readings from native California poet, Joanne Kyger.

Non-fiction Jonah Lehrer "Proust was a Neuroscientist" Photo courtesy ofAmazon.com BY BRYANT TINTLE Pride Staff Writer I must admit that I am a procrastinator when it comes to school work. Instead of doing my Spanish homework, I decided to do something else that took up my time. For a lot of my college time, my main distracter was "Guitar Hero". And with "Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock" out for a week now, I can expect my homework to be "forgotten" yet again. In case you've been living under a rock (no pun intended)* for the last year, Guitar Hero is a video game where you use a guitar controller and must hit the fret buttons and strum in time with the song. The first notable thing about the game is the wireless guitar. In the old games, I was always afraid that I would accidentally pull the guitar too hard and disconnect it. Let those fears be put to bed. Now with a wireless guitar, I can freely walk around the room while still rocking out. Another new feature is the co-op career mode. Not only does this mode break down the songs into guitar and bass so that two players can play together, but this is also the only way to unlock certain songs. However, don't fret (again, no pun intended) if you don't have any friends willing to rock out with you, as the single player career mode is still available. The songs featured in this edition cover many aspects of the "rock" genre. If classic rock is your cup of tea, then enjoy the hits "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n' Roses and "La Grange" by ZZ Top. If metal is your favorite, than head-bang to "One" by Metallica and "The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden. Or enjoy the modern hits like "Miss Murder" by AFI and "When You Were Young" by The Killers. So, whether you are a fan of the original "Guitar Hero" games, or just a fan of rocking out to great music, I suggest picking this gem up before the gods of rock take it back.

Do you enjoy fabulous storytelling? Do you want to beat the crap out of every person who rushed to see Saw IV the minute it came out? If so, then shell out a couple of bucks to see "American Gangster", starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the rise and eventual downfall of Frank Lucas, who became a leader of the Harlem drug scene in the late '60s and early '70s. The film does an advis® school job excellent job of portraying a man who is capable of incredibly violent acts, while at the same time caring for his family and running a business. After coming up with an innovative way to get high quality heroin at a bargain price, he brings his entire family into his crime empire, basing it on "honesty, integrity, hard work, never forgetting where we came from." Played with a fine mixture of emotions and appropriate amount of stoicism by Washington, Frank Lucas makes drug running sound like a more decent profession, with better practices, than working for most major corporations. (Hey, isn't it a toss up fair as to whether one would be better off dealing drugs or working for the corporate sector of Walmart?) Like any good crime drama, there's an equal focus on those trying to stop the criminals. Russell Crowe is Richie Roberts, a cop who remains clean in New York City, an almost impossible feat during that era. His dedication to his job, and dogged pursuance of Lucas, take a toll on his personal life, and the audience begins to feel a modicum of pity for him. Admirably, Crowe doesn't play the part as pitiful; he simply plays a man on the edge, who needs a solid victory against crime to jus- tify the righteousness he exhibits. Critics have said that the film only truly develops the two main characters. This is, for the most part, true. Several smaller characters in both Lucas' and Roberts' orbit are still infused with passion though, and without them, the personal interactions Beer of the we e K w eek Oktoberfest BY JONATHAN THOMPSON taste and more alcohol.

He returned f rom the vacation and began discussing plans with Matt to open their own micro brewery. Fortunately, C hris' uncle Karl Strauss had extensive knowledge in brewing beer. Karl Strauss was a renowned German brewmaster and knew the business of beer. Pastel yellow and blue hues dominate the cardboard container of Oktoberfest. A colorful scene of energetic and happy people enjoying themselves and healthy servings of beer marks the main portrait of the packaging. The scene most likely depicts a common sight during Oktoberfest. A red bottle cap with the breweries logo seals a 12 ounce beer with a 4.9 percent alcohol by volume. The dark golden amber beer pours smooth like a running creek and generates a quarter inch thick head. The beer has a pleasantly faint aroma that sooths the soul. The beer enters the mouth and quickly resonates with the taste buds. For a second or two the beer floods all aspects of the mouth with powerful surges of spiciness from the hops. A dry tingling sensation lingers as the beer trickles down the t hroat The distinguished tasteful sip creates anxiety within the brain as the brain craves for more of the now famed beer. The seasonal beer should disappear like a magician's trick from store shelves in the following weeks. Images courtesy of Universal Studios on which the film is built would feel empty. As I said, the sign of a good crime drama is a clear focus on both the criminals and those trying to apprehend them. The sign of a great crime drama is one that has half the audience, or more, rooting for the 'bad guy'. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

While the vetoing of AB 1413 earlier this month may have discouraged students and campus faculty members, California assemblymen are still pushing for legislation that addresses the needs of students in the postsecondary public school system and are starting to receive some success in return. Governor Schwarzenegger recently signed AB 262 and AB 1548 into law. Both legislations help alleviate the financial burdens of college for students across the state. AB 262, commissioned by Democratic Assemblyman, Joe Coto, looks to dispel credit card companies from targeting college students on campus with gifts and other luring tactics. Also called The College Student Credit Protection Act, AB 262 advises university executives to revise regulations on credit companies on campus. Student debt is quickly becoming an epidemic throughout college campuses across the country. While student loans also add to the problem, credit card debt utors and faculty members. The is the most troublesome problem governor went on in his veto mesfor students to control.

"As the former student body AB 1548 calls for improve- president of UC Irvine, I know ments among publishers, distrib- firsthand that high textbook prices are a huge issue for college students." Assemblyman Solorio said in an Oct. 13 press release. According to the General Accounting Office 2005 report, textbook prices increased 186 percent between the years 1986 and 2004; nearly triple the rate of inflation during that same time period. AB 1548 does not decrease textbook prices but it does offer students more opportunity to make better textbook purchasing decisions. The bill also holds those who select textbooks accountable for taking students best interests into consideration during the process. "AB 1548 provides a comprehensive approach to controlling college textbook prices by placing additional disclosure requirements on all parties involved in creating the high prices. That's why the bill was supported by the California State Student Association, the California Teacher's Association, the Association of American Publishers and the California Postsecondary Education Commission," said Assemblyman Solorio. Students will soon be able to see how these bills affect life on campus and if they set a precedent to pass similar bills in the future.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center organized and promoted the event in conjunction with conservative student organizations across the United States. The intent of Islamo-Fascism Awareness week was for conservative groups to inform the American student population of what the David Horowitz Freedom Center calls the "two Big Lies." These lies, according to The Terrorism Awareness Project website (http://www.terrorismawareness.org), are, "George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat." The Terrorism Awareness Project also stated the purpose of the protest is to "rally American students to defend their country." 200 universities and colleges across the United States participated in the event, including Palomar College. CSUSM initially appeared on the list of participating campuses but was later removed. When asked why the Terrorism Awareness Project removed Cal State San Marcos, among other schools, from the list, a representative from the group declined to comment on the matter. The events included keynote speakers, panels on oppression of women, showings of Suicide Killers, Obsession, or Islam: What the West Needs to Know and the ABC mini-series The Path to 9/11, a petition encouraging students to claim their allegiance, and a memorial service for the victims of terrorist attacks. There will also be a petition "denouncing Islamo-Fascist violence against women, gays, Christians, Jews and non-religious people." In response to the event the Muslim Public Affairs Council instructs Muslim students to do the following: "demonstrate Islamic ethics and restraint, support free speech, not respond, contact campus administration, talk to other student groups, report hate crimes and incidents." They also provided workshops for students under the banner, "Truth Over Fear: Countering Islamophobia." The MPAC pamphlet provided to help Islamic students navigate through the demonstrations states, "programs such as Islamo-Facism Awareness Week (IFAW) seek to isolate and divide communities, thereby dislodging their place as contributing members of society."

(6) 7057 70 5- 6 4 �Chargers please San Diego in emotional 35-10 victory CSUSM women's soccer headed to playoffs BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer In a game that was almost not played in San Diego, the Chargers took over Qualcomm and boosted the morale of 60,439 fans; even if it was for only four hours. As San Diego County was being ravaged by the w ildfires, Qualcomm Stadium was being used to facilitate over 10,000 evacuees. A fter some 45 Chargers employees, including around 24 players were displaced f rom their homes Monday, the Chargers were forced to board a plane to Arizona to cary on with the week's practice schedule. When the Los Angeles L akers a nnounced the cancellation on Tuesday of t heir a nnual p reseason game in San Diego t hat was scheduled f or Thursday, the idea of the C hargers r eturning home seemed d oubtful. The Chargers faced similar circumstances in 2003, when their Monday night game against the Dolphins was moved to Sun Devil Stadium in Arizona due, ironically enough, to Qualcomm being used as an evacuation center for the Cedar Fire. Arizona and Los Angeles were speculated for the relocation of the The #6 ranked CSUSM women's soccer team is headed to its first ever playoff appearance Wednesday, as the Cougars face off against the #3 ranked Concordia Eagles in the first round of the NAIA Region II playoffs on Wednesday. The game is at Concordia at 1:00pm. This is only the second season of women's soccer at CSUSM, and with only four seniors, the playoff berth shows plenty of potential. In a press release from the university, coach Ron Pulvers said, "For our young team, this is going to be a great opportunity to get experience in a playoff setting." The Cougars will look to capitalize on the skills of senior defender, Annica Perez who was the October 2007 women's soccer athlete of the month. This match-up may look familiar to the Cougars, who faced Concordia on September 8th, in a fatigued game that ended up being the worst CSUSM loss of the season. One day earlier the Cougars played #1 ranked Azusa Pacific, losing by a score of 0-1. This time the Cougars will be well rested due to the cancelation of their final regular season game, against La Sierra University on Sunday. The Cougars finished the season with a 6 -6-4 record, coming down the stretch with two tough ties at Cal State San Bernardino and Cal Poly Pomona. game, as well as Oakland, Seattle, and Fresno. With the n umbers of e vacuees s teadily d ropping as the week p rogressed, the f ocus soon s hifted on d istinct p ossibility of the game a ctually b eing played at Q ualcomm. San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders announced late Thursday that the stadium would be ready and capable to host the game, stating "The City will be able to provide s ufficient public safety personnel to manage a professional football game without impeding ongoing w ildfire recovery e fforts." The team returned to San Diego Friday morning allowing time for players and staff to return to their homes-all of which still standing. Throughout the week's tribulations, the Chargers managed to stay focussed for their match-up with the Houston Texans en route to their third consecutive victory; 35-10. The Chargers got the p arty started with 5:49 l eft in the f irst quarter with a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates 49 yard crowd-pleasing touchdown reception. Later in the f irst, Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie recovered a Bryan Pittman fumble and took it to the house, pushing the Chargers lead to 14-0. Houston got on the board early in the second quarter with a Kris Brown 40-yard field goal. Antonio Gates made the highlights again with a 31 yard touchdown reception to the l eft. Antonio Cromartie followed soon a fter with an interception f rom Houston quarterback, Matt Schaub that was returned for a 70 yard touchdown. Philip Rivers got the newly acquired wide receiver, Chris Chambers involved with a 14 yard touchdown pass near the two minute mark in the second quarter. The Chargers took a 35-3 lead into h alftime, and needed nothing more f rom the o ffense to secure the victory. The Chargers won by a score of 35-10, in a game that brought out the best of the Chargers in the midst of a crisis throughout the county. "It was kind of like a win for the San Diego Chargers, but at the same time it was a win for San Diego itself," said Gates a fter the game. The victory improved the Chargers record to 4-3, putting the in a tie for f irst place in the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers travel to Minnesota next Sunday to face the Vikings at 10:00 a.m. on CBS.

Last week was no different as Sudanese native Benjamin Ajak visited CSUSM on Oct. 16 and 17, bringing with him an unrivaled story of survival and triumph of the human will. From a village of mud brick to a sprawling city of steel and concrete, Benjamin Ajak traveled tens of thousands of miles in his 14-year exodus from his war torn home of Sudan. Benjamin is most famous for "They Poured Fire on us From the Sky", a book he co-authored with cousins Benson and Alephonsion Deng and mentor Judy A. Bernstein. The book documented their accounts as part of nearly 20,000 displaced and orphaned Sudanese refugees popularly referred to as "The Lost Boys of Sudan." With the help of the International Rescue Committee, Benjamin Ajak and thousands of other "Lost Boys" resettled across the United States. En route to San Diego, Benjamin's flight was diverted to Canada due to the attacks of September 11, 2001. He finally arrived in San Diego two weeks later. Of the few things Benjamin brought with him from Africa, his unquestionable passion for learning and education accompanied him throughout his various travels. Sharing his experiences, Benjamin spent two days on campus, kept busy by a dense itinerary involving class visits, book signings, and an address before an audience of students, faculty, staff, and community members. In one such engagement, Benjamin took the time to respond to questions from students with topics ranging from the Sudan People's Liberation Army to favorite educational experiences in the United States. One student asked Benjamin how he felt in his first encounter with a lion, to which Benjamin responded, "Living with the lion is not scary for us...because we live in the jungle." Another student asked Benjamin if he misses anything from his life in Africa. "Yes, I miss a whole bunch," replied Benjamin. "I miss a whole lot of friends." Despite the seriousness ofhis story, Benjamin's lighthearted demeanor throughout the discussion carried over to the audience, who laughed along with his stories. In keeping with the tone of the discussion, one student jokingly asked, "some men in the village had many wives, are you bummed out that in America you can only have one?" Of his father's eight wives, Benjamin's mother had 13 children of which only himself and his brother survived the civil war in Sudan. Prior to becoming a full time speaker, Benjamin worked as a truck driver and has been to all of the lower 48 states. Benjamin plans to continue to visit schools and other organizations to share his story and insight with others. V J — T u e s d a y , October 30, 2007 In today's technology The iPod Touch BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer If you thought Apple had finally hit the ceiling when it comes to must-have gadgets this year, think again. The iPod Touch has just been released on the market and is being hailed as iPhone's hip, retro baby brother. Here are the basics - there are two models available— an 8GB and a 16GB respectively starting at $299. So then the question people should ask themselves is "why should I get my hands on this neat little device?" It's justifying to know Apple is getting all the praise it deserves, especially for all the Apple owners. On that same token, is there anyone that can stop them at this point? The lingering m m m m m mm m mmmmmamm question remains whether this sleek, little MP3 player is a must have. How does it compare to the iPhone that is already been on the market for 4 months? The answer is simple having the iPod Touch is like owning a Cadillac when you're actually driving a Buick. Had the iPod Touch been released before the iPhone, it would have been the device that launches Apple into the upper stratosphere of technical mastery. Witbfthat said, here are 5 tips about the iPod touch: Get your web applications. From checking Facebook to creating personal calendars to checking personal email, Apple has created a link enabling users to download vital web applications. It is a good idea since it integrates well with the already user-friendly touch screen browser. And speaking of web browsers... Try to figure out Safari. Sure the melius on the device move fiuidly, but that doesn't mean people will figure out the web browser in a day. Safari is touted by Apple as a great tool to use to check out the web, but it is unable to support Flash or Java. Still, it is awesome to check out clips off of YouTube wherever you go. Buy a gel skin. The gadget can be probable to survive a hurricane but that doesn't mean it still shouldn't have some snazzy protection to prevent those inevitable h h h b b i h m b b drops. Check out gelaskins.com for some stylish skins that are both artsy and fun. Skins are available for older models too. Pause a song or adjust the volume while locked. This m m m^ m m m m iS probably going m m am m m m to be looked at as a drawback to the more traditional iPod owners who are accustomed to a click wheel for volume control. Simply double-tap the home button and the volume control, back, next, and pause/play controls will come to your screen. Don't like the icons? Well change them. It's hard tofixwhat already seems to look so good. The Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums and More buttons can be customized to look anyway you like. Just what Grandpa wanted. The design means more to younger folks than to the tech-impaired. With intentions of bridging the technological gap, the user friendly navigation, gorgeous visuals, and bright menus are fused so that grandparents can rock out to their great rock and roll icons.

While there are numerous web-based solutions that aid in the process of organizing and maintaining notes and documents, such as Google Docs, but none stand out more than Backpack. Backpack, which can be found at backpackit.com, provides one of the most comprehensive ways to stay organized on the web. The note taking functionality of Backpack is merely an attribute to the host of features offered in the Backpack Suite. Backpack takes an innovative approach to organization, utilizing the basic design principles of a standard personal website, while offering users effortless data entry under five categories; list, note, file, picture, or writeboard. After registration, users are prompted to create a new page. I would recommend creating a page for each class, this is the most efficient method for applying the service to a scholastic setting, though creating pages by topic may also be efficient depending on the user's needs. After naming the page, users can enter a brief summary that can include anything from teacher contacts, to the main points of the course. Backpack offers a great to-do list fea- ture that allows users to create tasks, and check them off wheç complete. The note taking functionality of Backpack is simple and effective.

The Reminder functionality also strikes a chord with Macintosh users by its ability to subscribe to reminders through Apple's iCal software. Users can also share pages with other users, thus making group studying convenient for everyone.

The Horno/Ammo Fire, the Wilcox Fire, the Cajon Fire, the McCoy Fire, and the Coronado Hills Fire. As of Oct. 29 Cal Fire reports all but the Witch, Harris, and Poomacha fires are 100% contained. Cal State San Marcos and nearby residents felt the heat in a close encounter with the shortlived Coronado Hills Fire. Many students living near campus awoke early Monday morning to the sight offlamesand the sound of sirens on South Twin Oaks Valley Road. Only claiming 300 acres, fire fighters quickly snuffed out the Coronado Hills fire by late Monday afternoon, lifting mandatory evacuations for residences near CSUSM and San Elijo Hills. The proximity of the fire coupled with extremely poor air quality forced CSUSM to close its doors for the remainder of the week. Classes resumed on Monday, Oct. 29. The latest figures place the number of people in Southern California displaced by the firestemporarily or permanently-at 950,000. Residents of San Diego County account for roughly 640,000 of those the fire displaced. Devastation of the scale caused by these fires has evoked comparisons to Hurricane Katrina, the last major disaster to draw national attention of the same caliber given to Southern California over the past week. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Kolender said the number of victims evacuated as a result of thesefireshas exceeded the number of victims evacuated from New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Early on Sheriff Kolender predicted, "This fire will probably be the worst this county has ever seen-worse than the Cedar Fire," prophetic words that would resound through much of the week. Whether or not the cumulative damage of these fires in San Diego County exceeds that of the Cedar Fire remains to be seen.

She had been woken up by one of her roommates who told her to look outside—she could not believe her eyes. What she saw foreshadowed the long week ahead for many San Diego residents who had to evacuate their homes—many to never see them again—due to the many fires that threatened and took much of San Diego County. "The first thing I saw was a guy outside my roommate's window," said Zambrano. "He kept yell- ing, 'Don't worry about it, just get out.' One of my roommates thought she saw one of the apartments burning down and as soon as we stepped outside we saw all the cars trying to leave" Zambrano is one of many students living at Prominence Community right next to campus. The Apartment community holds more than 550 apartments with more students than families or elderly living there, said Thomas Peterson, Leasing Agent at Prominence. "[Between] late Sunday and early Monday we witnessed a fire on the hillside in back of the complex," said Peterson. "It was not a major threat, but just to be on the safe side we started to tell people." Peterson said the evacuation was not mandatory, but the majority of people who decided to evacuate left Monday around 2 a.m., although some stayed until Wednesday, and some decided to stay. The apartment community counts on 24-hour security, which was responsible for knocking on doors and informing people, as well as monitoring how close the fires got, he said. Zambrano and her roommates, like many residents there,fledthe apparent danger and found shelter at a friend's home in the area. "I had no idea what was going on," she said. "Everyone was honking their horns because I guess there was no time to call everyone because there are so many apartments. In that moment I just grabbed whatever I could. I took shoes and stuff for work, as well as my purse which at that time had my credit cards and birth certificate." She said she started trying to exit the gate community but was afraid they were not going to be able to get out. Once out and on the road she saw the fires burning on Coronado Hill up closer. "I saw the fires from my car, where you could see a view of the campus and the apartments," she said. "It looked like lava coming down." While Peterson stressed the traffic trying to leave was not chaotic— the complex has the front exit as well as an emergency exit through the back—the worst of the rush was early Monday morning. He said the fire was put out quite rapidly, and by the end of the week people began returning to their homes. But not everyone was so fortunate.

He was the first to tell me of the Witch / 78 fire that was at that time burning in between Santa Ysabel. I decided to leave school and go back to my house on the western edge of the Ramona city limit. Driving to the Pomerado Road exit on the 1-15, I was met with a wall of thick smoke blowing westward. Reaching my house, I quickly went to work clearing additional brush and other vegetation around our house. After we did as much as we could do, I returned to school after telling my dad to call me if I needed to come back home. After reaching school around 7:30 p.m. and working about 30 or 40 minutes, I received another call from my dad, calling me back home. As I drove south along the 1-15 by the North County Fair mall, I could see the flames off in the east. By the t ime! got home, my mom was already gathering photo albums and other irreplaceable items. I went through my room, gathering only three days worth of clothes, pictures, childhood mementos and not much else. By 11:00 p.m. we left our house in three vehicles. My dad stayed behind with our last vehicle, despite our attempts to convince him to leave. We took Highland Valley Road going west towards Escondido / Rancho Bernardo. With traffic, it took about 20 minutes to get to Pomerado Road when normally it takes only 10 minutes. Just before Pomerado Road, we encountered an overturned motor-home, blocking part of the road. We went to my brother's fiancée's house in Poway off of Espola Road. We were there only minutes before the power temporarily shut off. Taking into account the smoke, extreme wind Church's Influence on Sports The Good, the Bad and the Worse BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer After a week of sitting on my butt watching Fire Storm 2007 and working everyday at Island's caring to those looking for a brief escape. It is time to talk about the good the bad and the worse in sports this week. . First we will talk about the good. The number one story around the United States this week was the fires in California. But with hundreds of thousands being forced to evacuate their homes and businesses, San Diego residents were able to find shelter at Qualcomm Stadium. Now with thefiresstill pushing some residents to remain evacuated and others losing everything, San Diego is being forced to move on once again. And the first step to moving forward was the decision by mayor Jerry Sanders to allow the Chargers to play their home game in San Diego. Now San Diego will be showing to the world how strong of a community we are as the Chargers will be one of the many healing processes for the commu- nity as a whole. While all this was going on here at home, the World Series was underway and it was bad. Game one was a blow out. A 13-1 victory for the Boston Red Sox was the last thing that I wanted to watch. The Red Sox just proved to that Red Sox Nation that they are the real thing, which is really bad as they can now rule the league as they dominated teams all season long and have done so again this postseason. Now the Red Sox are making their stand and will more than likely win their second title of this century, which will be one more than the Yankees who last won a championship in 2000. But with the tides turning in favor of the Red Sox, it is only a matter of time before the Yankees go and buy young talent instead of the washed up team they are putting on the field now. The first step is resigning A-Rod for $40 million a year as he is going to be keep the price of YES network in near a billion instead of half that without him. Finally there is the ugly. And there is nothing uglier than Kobe Bryant and his "trade demand". Here is the problem with this situation. Kobe Bryant is desperate to leave LA after he requested that the Lakers "make a move or trade me" remarks at the beginning of the summer. Now Kobe isfindinghimself in a tough situation as he will need to make a decision. He wants to leave the second biggest basketball market or will he do the right thing and stay with the Lakers and play out his contract and when the time comes he can do what A-Rod is doing and opt out of his contract for more money. But for the time being, Kobe needs Jerry Buss the same way Buss needs Kobe. But with the Lakers developing young players instead of getting key marquee players to support Kobe, it is no wonder why Kobe wants out of the Lakers organization. He wants to win. Comments or questions can be emailed to me at churc009@ csusm.edu or pride@csusm. edu. and possible power failure, we decided to move again. We settled down shortly after midnight near CSUSM off of Rancho Santa Fe Road. I stayed up for another two hours listening the the news on the radio and on TV and calling my dad, continually asking him to leave our house. Around 2:00 a.m. on Monday morning, I heard of an unconfirmed report of a fire near Twin Oaks Valley Road. Driving north on Rancho Santa Fe Road, I caught sight of the flames just after passing San Marcos Boulevard. During the rest of the night, I checked up on the fire several times, heard that my dad got out safely and slept about two or three hours. In the morning, we moved from San Marcos to Lemon grove. Later the day we heard that our house was gone by word of our neighbor who stayed in the neighborhood and weathered out the storm in a concrete bunker he had previously built. Currently we are still staying in Lemon Grove. Some advice that has already been said: If you are in danger err on the side of caution and don't wait until it is too late.

ISSH �war BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Gone are the days of going to the store to rent movies. Seeing as DVD's are much more manageable than video cassettes, it was only a matter of time before someone realized you could put them in the mail. Now, instead of having to go to the store for movies, through the services offered by different providers, you can get DVD's right in your mail. I had both of the most popular services, Netflix and in the market and has a share of Netflix users, are greatforseveral reasons. In terms of speed, while Blockbuster ships Blockbuster Online. Having switched back andforthtwice so movies fotrfy last, Netflix is faster on far, I know all about this oligopoly com- delivery. Also a plus for Netflix is their extensive selection. Many movies I have petition. In the beginning, there was Netflix.

This bonus provides a chance to get many movies, provided they are available in the store. Netflix has tried to combat this with the opportunity view movies online, which works fairly well. So it boils down to this - if you are not picky about having a wide variety of films, such as foreign and independent, and you frequently find yourself renting movies in store, Blockbuster is for you; but if going to the store is out of your way or if you prefer specialty films, Netflix is your best bet. Boo&Mee Japanese Cuisine P ympyn Ate BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer Fall is in the air. When the sun starts setting earlier and grocery stores begin stocking up on candy and costumes for Halloween I feel the urge to make caramel apples and carve pumpkins. In the spirit of Autumn" I thought that I would sample Pumpkin Ale to experience all the flavors of Fall. One option available for the seasonal sensation is Buffalo Bill's Brewery's Pumpkin Ale. The ale is brewed with baked and roasted pumpkins combined with spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Some other pumpkin brewers include Post Road, Smuttynose, The Shipyard, Dogfish Head, and Blue Moon. The tradition of brewing pumpkin ales goes back to colonial America. According to money.cnn. com the native pumpkin was chosen as an alternative to British barley and hops. The result was a uniquely Americanflavoredbeer. As I taste the ale the pumpkin flavor seeps slowing into my conscious and leaves a spicy taste lingering. A cool and refreshing beverage paired well with any squash or pumpkin-carving event. For those of you who love pumpkins as much as I do I am sure that this will be something to look forward to every October. For the rest of you - give it a try and you may find something you like about pumpkins. BY JASON ENCABO Pride Staff Writer It's rare to find the combination of great Japanese food and great prices. The best places to get the most bang for your spicy tuna roll are the mom 'n pop restaurants. Not too far from campus is a Japanese restaurant that is tiny in square footage, but can fill a large appetite. Boo & Mee Cafe, located northwest of San Marcos Boulevard and Bent Ave, offers a variety of quality Japanese dishes for moderate prices. Sushi is a true testament to the notion that 'you get what you pay for,' and when you see a roll of sushi priced anywhere from 75 cents to $1.99, you can't help but get suspicious. Keeping with the thought that price reflects quality, for college students looking to step outside of the California roll but unwilling to empty their wallets, Boo & Mee just might be the ideal situation. With a menu consisting of Japanese specialties such as udon, yakisoba, curry, of course sushi, tempura and more, you won't find yourself looking for something that isn't on the menu. Boo & Mee offers rolls of sushi ranging from $2.90 to 9 dollars, offering the standard rolls of tuna, yellowtail, eel and more. They also offer their own specialties such as the Baja California roll, which is a California roll topped in crab and spicy sauce. The restaurant also offers a "pick two combo," where you can choose two dishes from a variety of tempura, teriyaki, sushi, stir f ry and deep fry, for under 6 dollars. These dishes can fill the average appetite, but for the truly hungry, I'd recommend ordering a roll of sushi in addition. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride As for the environment of the restaurant, you won't find any fancy paintings on the wall, nor are there golden chop sticks to get your hands on, but don't think that will offset your appetite. With a TV on each end of the restaurant playing The Food Network, along with a random swordfish nailed to the northeast corner of the place, you'll be entertained as your taste buds await your meal. The restaurant from the customer's perspective is a one-man-show, with the sushi chef also acting as host, server and bus boy; the true signs of a mom 'n pop restaurant. From sushi to tempura to fried oysters, Boo & Mee offers a little more than what you pay for, and what the restaurant lacks in fanciness, i t certainly makes up in food quality; �16 A&E TueMav. October 30. 2007 THE PRIDE NDERGRO HIPHOP By Toria Savey I Pride Staff Writer Spoken word hip-hop collective Ill-Literacy comes to campus There are places that are alive with music. People perform on street corners and beats rise out of potholes and drift out of clubs and coffeehouses. Or any place with a roof, a door and a microphone. Those who look hard enough agree that San Diego is one of these locales, with lyrics embedded in its very blueprint, but on Friday night, one didn't have to go into the city to seek the energy. The music came directly to CSU San Marcos. The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series in conjunction with campus' Kamalayan Alliance (KA) brought spoken-word hiphop collective Ill-Literacy to campus: And Ill-Literacy brought songs that were relatable, hilarious and tragic; an entire world. The evening opened with Irene Castruita, a former member of San Diego's own Los Able Minded Poets, another spoken word collective. Her introduction to her pieces, stating, "I don't call it spoken word, I call it spoken soul because we express our souls," may have made some mem- bers of the audience roll their eyes. However, when minutes seemed to fly as she covered topics like war, truth, poverty and beauty with a mixture of poetry, beats and a cappella singing, skepticism was quickly replace with fascination; Castruita was, in her own words, "singing songs in the key of life." Up next, it was time for the main act. After being announced and welcomed by a member of KA, Ill-Literacy took the stage. The welcome by the KA, while proper, may have been somewhat unnecessary. The group is made of four members who would own the stage whether it was offered to them or not. Reminiscent of many concerts, a single member was sent out to warm up the audience. Slowly, each member of the group came on stage, performing a segment of the opening number, and asking the audience to come with them on a "journey". While there were all sort of influences for the various songs, most involved some form of societal commentary. Ruby Veridiano-Ching called for a return to chivalry and a realizing of one's inner beauty. Adriel Luis, in addition to having the dubious job of being the first one on stage, performed an a mazing piece from the point of view of self-hatred. "Stop trying to find me in everyone else, and maybe, just maybe you can find me in yourself," he spat as he literally jumped around the stage. Dahlak Brathwaite, offered some of the most scathing commentary, beginning his time on stage by announcing that "the club looks nothing like the Yin Yang Twins says it does." Perhaps some of the most powerful moments on stage were during his tonguein-cheek explanation of the usage and ownership of the word "nigga" and its relationship to oppression. Two of the pieces that brought the most laughter and empathy from the audience though came from Nico Cary, the first a "f*ck you list", including everything from conservative politicians to people who had Lunchables and never Keep your ear to the ground Hip-hop albums Have you recently heard someone use the word "participle" while rapping? A verbalflowstrong enough that it defies the separations of verses and choruses? If not, maybe it's time for a little less 50 Cent and a little more Jurassic 5 in your record collection. Welcome to underground hip hop and spoken word. The same beat you love from mainstream hip hop, but the bar for innovation is set significantly higher. Here's a few discs, out of millions of possibilities, to expand your musical knowledge. Gil Scott-Heron The Revolution Will Not Be Televised One of the original beat poets, Scott-Heron was talking about the harsh hopelessness of the ghetto before the word "rap" had even hit social consciousness. The album is from the 1970s, and it sounds like it. The messages contained in it however are ageless, particularly "Whitey on the Moon", about poverty in the ghetto in comparison to the millions spent to put a man on the moon Jurassic Five Power In Numbers Jurassic 5 has definitely moved further towards the mainstream in the years they've been together. The group's sophomore album will take you far from the land of LiP Jon, while still maintaining the contagious beats that draw people to hip hop in the first place. Start with track 7, What's Golden, to have your faith restored in the verbal ability of emcees (the group has 4, and 2 DJs). Jurassic 5 is "sick ofphony mobsters, controlling the dancefloor",and after hearing what hip hop SHOULD sound like, you will be, too. Mos Def & Talib Kweli Black Star The group is composed of Mos Def and Talib Kweli, who each have plenty of albums that could have been included in this list. When the two are combined, they create Black Star, and some ground-breaking rap, more concerned with the state of culture than booty calls. Check out "Thieves in the Night": Not strong, only aggressive, 'cause the power ain t directed/ That 2? why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive. shared. The second was about his desire to be a revolutionary, but being too bombarded by different types of "revolution" recruiters on the campus of UC Berkeley to decide on a cause, and mocking the inability of each group tofindcommon ground. At the beginning, Adriel announced IllLiteracy's intent to "reawaken a culture". They spoke to the audience, provoking everything from uncontrollable laughter to shouted agreement during statements about society's stumbling blocks. A throw back to beat poets and early DJs more than the violent "gangsta" rap that's become popular, the group showcased hip hop at its finest, exhibiting unbelievable word flow without a single gang shout out or misogynistic reference. Looking around at an auditorium full of wide eyed people hanging on the group's every word, it would seem that IllLiteracy's goal is Well on its way to becoming reality. On Friday night, even if only for a moment, CSU San Marcos was not only awakened, but ignited. Speaking with spoken words Ill-Literacy interview One of the main appeals of Ill-Literacy, in comparison to others in the field of spoken word and hip hop, may be their accessibility, with audience members coming up to them after the show and interacting like long-lost friends. When the flock thinned a little, the Pride had a chance to ask the group a few quick questions. As gleaned from their interaction on stage, the members of Ill-Literacy are friends as much as they're band mates. There was constant laughter, as they gave the same answers and finished each others' sentences. Dahlek: Yeah, we get, what would you say, like withdrawals. Without each other. What's the smallest show you've ever played? Adriel: Man, I think like 6. Probably 6. So would you rather play for six or 1,000? D: Depends. If you get all 6 of those people in, it could be your best show ever. What do you guys do after shows? D: I don't think you can print it. R: (laughter) We usually have dinner. Eat. Celebrate.

AB 1413 proposed tighter regulations to the CSU Board of Trustees' executive compensation proceedings. Following the approval of 11% pay raises for executives at last months Board of Trustees meeting, the CFA campaigned heavily against these; raises, backing passage of AB 1413 and SB 190, another piece of CSU reform legislation. Working closely with Assemblyman, - Anthony Portantino, Senator Xeland Yee, and Lieutenant Governor John Garemendi, the CFA reported on fraudulent and wasteful spending practices within the CSU executive compensation policy. In response to Governor Schwarzenegger's veto, Assemblyman Portantino, Chair of the Assembly Committee on Higher Education and author of the vetoed bill, commented, "as a strong advocate of higher education, I am extremely disappointed with this veto."

Cross country invites campus community to compete Cougar 5K/8K Challenge to be held at CSUSM BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The USA Track & Field Dirt Dog Cross Country series is set to come through San Marcos this Saturday, christening the newly created on-campus cross country course. The Cougar 5K/8K Challenge marks the first ever cross country meet hosted by CSUSM. The races, however, are put on by an outside organization, and while both the CSUSM men's and women's teams will compete, their times and results will have no bearing on the official NAIA standings or rankings. There will be a 5K run and an 8K run, offering partici- VOL. X VIII NO. 7 pants a range of difficulty on the virtually untested course. The course begins at Mangrum track and takes runners around towards the Clarke Field House, then runs parallel to Campus Drive to Barham Drive, leading to Twin Oaks Valley Road before returning participants back on to Mangrum. The #8 ranked Cougars women's team will take the course at 9:00 a.m. to run in the 5K, and the #8 ranked Cougars men's team will follow soon after, running the 8K at 9:45 a.m. This event is open to the public. Registration, begins at 7:45 at Mangrum Track on the day ofthe race; the entry fee is $15. CSUSM Athletic Director, Steve Nichols sums up the uncommon nature of the event, saying "This race is especially unique in that members of the campus and surrounding communities can not only come to witness the excitement of collegiate cross-country up close - they can even join in as participants." The Cougar 5K/8K Challenge will offer participants an up close and personal taste of intercollegiate cross-country by bringing the public together to compete with one of the top NAIA cross-country programs. Thanks to Associated Students Inc. and Habitat for Humanity, Alternative Spring Break is back for its fifth year at Cal State San Marcos Alternative Spring Break gives students the chance to give back to the community. Last year, the program expanded out of state for the first time by going to New Orleans, helping to restore the damage left over from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. According to the National Hurricane Center, Katrina, which struck the Southeastern part of the United States, was the costliest and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in United States history, This year the program will return to New Orleans to work alongside Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit organization that specializes in building homes for the underprivileged. The 2008 trip lasts from Mar.30 to Apr.5. Applications are available to download at the ASI website (http://www.csusm. edu/asi/) and are due by Nov. 30.

In collaboration with the Washington D.C. based Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and the CSUSM Department of Political Science, the CSUSM Model United Nations hosted a campus visit by former Lieutenant General, Robert Gard, of the U.S. Army and former General, Joseph P. Hoar, of the U.S. Marine Corps. The visit was one of many stops in San Diego for the two retired gen- erals as part of a two-day long series of speaking engagements critical of the Bush administration's handling of both the war in Iraq and relations with Iran. General Joseph Hoar served as the Deputy for Operations for the Marine Corps during the Gulf War and later as the Commander-inChief of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the unified combatant command that oversees jointmilitary operations in the MiddleEast, East Africa, and Central Asia. Lt. General Dr. Robert G. Gard served in the U.S. Army with combat service in Korea and Vietnam.

On the topic of immediate withdrawal, General Hoar noted, "that is just not possible," especially given "concerns about stability" and "significant requirements to protect our friends," referring to Israel and other Arab-ally states. The discussion eventually shifted to Iran, where General Hoar stated "is a much more complicated problem." Citing both historical misunderstandings and a lack of support from regional powers in the Middle East, General Hoar warned against the possibility of a war against Iran. He also maintained that because Iran does not "have the capability to attack the United States directly," Iran will "retaliate by destroying infrastructure facilities all up and down the gulf and elsewhere in the region that belong to friends of the United States." The two emphasized opening up discussions with Iran's government in the belief that Iran is not the enemy they are made out to be. As Lt. General Gard clarified, "Iran cooperated with us when we ran the Taliban out of Afghanistan and...in response for their cooperation, just weeks later in early 2002, is when the President made Iran a charter member of the so called 'Axis of Evil'." At the end of their presentations, the two generals opened up the discussion for questions from the audience. One student asked, "What do you think is going to happen in the couple of months with the Iran issue?" General Hoar responded, stating his belief "that there are very powerful forces in the U.S. government that believe the United States should attack Iran." Students also addressed in their questions the issues of the Blackwater controversy, possible conflicts of interest with Vice President Cheney and Halliburton, and even past wars. After answering all questions that time permitted, the two generals received a standing ovation and departed for another speaking engagement. As CSUSM continues to grow, students can expect more visits from prominent figures in the future.

The Chancellor also maintained, "We remain committed to operating the CSU with the highest possible level of transparency and accountability to students, taxpayers, policymakers and the public." Despite this veto, Governor Schwarzenegger stated, "when appropriate, I do believe that there should be transparency in our educational systems so that the public has confidence in our institutions, which is why I am signing Senate Bill 190 that provides some additional openness and accessibility for the public on matters of executive compensation."

The two have been vocal critics of the handling of the war in Iraq since the 2003 invasion. In May of 2004, General Hoar spoke before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, commenting on the war in Iraq, "I believe we are absolutely on the brink of failure. We are looking into the abyss." Much to the same effect, their message at Wednesday's presentation focused on alleged faults in military strategy. In Lt. General Gard's presentation, he explained "that we went into Iraq-invaded the country-with what turned out to be a force far too small to deal with the consequences of the invasion when the insurgency began." He also went on to state that U.S. forces "were not trained to fight counter-insurgency, they were trained by a more conventional style of war." Building on Lt.

What was the one thing that was notably absent from the huge 41-3 win last week? The prowess and domination of LaDainian Tomlinson that Chargers fans have come to know and love over the past few years. Last Sunday the Chargers managed to score four touchdowns on offense; none of which were in the hands of Tomlinson. Fast-forward seven days, and in front of 67,000 person crowd at Qualcomm, Tomlinson scored four touchdowns of his own on the way to 199 yards rushing, in easily his most explosive game of the season thus far. Tomlinson guided the Chargers to 28-14 victory; the eighth straight over the Raiders. The famed Chargers-Raiders rivalry went down in front of a packed house, with fan support on both sides of the ball. The Raiders left droves of Los Angeles area Raiders fans teamless, when the organization packed up and moved from Los Angeles to Oakland in 1995. These fans are still strong today, and many make a point to take the journey south and catch the Raiders in their only Southern California appearance of the season. The Chargers, feeding off last week's momentum, scored on the first drive, advancing the ball 80 yards in 11 plays with a balanced air to ground attack. The drive culminated in a threeyard Tomlinson touchdown that sent him leaping over Raiders defense and crossing the plane of the goal line at a nearly vertical angle. It took only three plays on the ensuing Oakland possession for the Chargers' defense to get to work. Cornerback, Drayton Florence, intercepted Daunte Culpepper's third and 12 pass intended for wide receiver, Jerry Porter. On the very next drive, Tomlinson rushed through traffic to the left, for a 27-yard touchdown. Not only had Tomlinson matched his touchdown total on the season in only eight minutes, but he also tied John Riggins for fifth all-time in career rushing touchdowns, with 104. Oakland struck in the second quarter, as linebacker, Thomas Howard, intercepted a Philip Rivers pass and returned it for a 66-yard defensive touchdown. Early in the third quarter, on a drive sparked by a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates 28- yard pass, Tomlinson scored again, this time for 13 yards. The Raiders scored their final points with 5:18 left in the fourth quarter as Daunte Culpepper passed to rookie tight end, Zach Miller, for a goal line touchdown. Tomlinson scored his 106career touchdown on a massive 41-yard rush that gave the Chargers some insurance with a 28-14 lead. A lead that would be made final after a disastrous attempt at a Raiders comeback. Tomlinson's quest through the record books met up with another legend in this game. LT's final touchdown put him in a tie with Jim Brown for fourth place all-time in career rushing touchdowns. The Chargers victory pushed them to 3-3 overall on the season, putting them in a tie for first place in the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers take a week off and return to the field on October 28 at home to face the Houston Texans at 1:05 p.m. on CBS.

MCS is available both on and off campus and can be accessed in one of three ways: a link is placed in WebCT, typing "mcs" into a campus computer's web browser, or, if being accessed from off campus, typing "http://mcs.csusm.edu" into the browser. Originally, the MCS was intended to replace the large and difficult to maintain cable television system on campus. By streaming video over the network, Integrated Information Technology Services (ITTS) was able to not only cut down on the clutter of the cabling system, but also include the off campus support, integrate it into the WebCT system and record off air, similar to a TIVO, The online media library was piloted last spring with a few instructor volunteers. However, as it is a new system, development will be slow in order to make sure it works with all computers. As instructors request different materials be placed in the media library, the number of videos on the server vary from semester to semester. Although the MCS is not intended as an archive for student videos, ITTS does help student to place materials on the serves for course-related purposes. In order to deliver relevant and desired content, an informal poll of campus organizations that use the MCS is conducted and the results are incorporated into the selection as much as possible. Many of the popular cable channels are not available due to the school's basic cable feed from Time-Warner. �Children Website of the Week .3ÜLY1 one area's tragedy and exposes it worldwide Invisiblechildren.com takes BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer If you have not heard of Invisible Children by now, it is about time you did. Invisible Children Inc. is an organization founded by San Diego area filmmakers Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole, dedicated to creating awareness for the plight and poverty of the people ofNorthern Uganda. Northern Uganda is in the middle of a civil war between its established government and rebel group, the Lords Resistance Army. The Lords Resistance Army, formed in 1987, is led by Joseph Kony, who, along with his soldiers, has been openly accused of violent and widespread human torture, mutilation, rape and abduction. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is most well known for its forced army recruitment by kidnapping. In a 2006 survey declared that more than 66,000 youths were abducted by the LRA since 1987. Invisible Children started as a rough cut documentary filmed in the spring of2003. According to the website, thefilmmakerswent into the opportunity as a "filmmaking adventure," but "[the adventure] transformed into much more when these boys from Southern Califor- nia discovered a tragedy that both disgusted and inspired them - A tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims. What started as a 55- minute rough cut documentary four years ago, has turned into multifaceted, non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference, or as the website states "transforming apathy into activism." The main focus of the website is directed toward the most tangible medium of communication oil the internet: video. Nearly .every featured project on the website is greeted with a hip, modern introduction video that conveys the main points in a way that not only grabs the viewer's attention, but informs him or her along the Avay. The current marquee project highlighted on the website is the "Schools for Schools" program! The "Schools for Schools" project is dedicated to fostering the desire for the children of Northern Uganda to acquire an education. The project will achieve this by taking the top 46 high schools in Northern Uganda and turning them into the best schools in the country, in an effort to match the academic averages of the rest of the African continent. The program focuses on five aspects for reform: water, teachers, books, buildings, and technology. The "Schools for Schools" project is supported by middle schools, high schools, and colleges in America. To date, more than $112,000 has been raised by 547 schools with 5,892 students participating.

That means that we do things like swap articles, have a little family dinner once a week, and carpool in the same Impala for drive-bys. You know how it is. But apparently, all this comradery wasn't enough. We all decided to get the same illness too. It's that season again, when the guy next to you in PSCI 100 starts sneezing and you start thinking, "If you give me a cold, I will kill you. I will literally kill you." Depending on how annoying he was to begin with, you might say it out loud - especially if you're me. I hate colds. They're not epic enough to really give you an excuse for anything, but they screw up everything. It's significantly harder to intimidate everyone from the pizza guy to your writers with a cold, steely voice when you actually sound like you belong in a damn Theraflu commercial. And then, there's the judgment. Perhaps, you've noticed that I mentioned my grandmother several times, since she pervades my life. Well, she's about as supportive of illness as she is of dating. "You know, you're burning the candle at both ends. You were bound to get sick." No, I'm sick because everyone in my office was sick and like every other building in America, we think re-circulating air is a peachy keen idea. And you know that just like me, when you get sick, you have at least one friend or family member that will tell you how you got sick; because they are trained medical doctors and mind readers. Go to dinner with them and blow your nose repeatedly at the table. And talk about filthy things as loudly around small children as you can. I find this is a good way to take out my aggression on someone. Restaurant humiliation. So what should you do now that you have the cold? Well, there are various options, including but not limited to busting out the tea, taking a ton of Tylenol Cold, or getting plastered on Nyquil. My best recommendation? Give it to somebody else.

Now in its eighth year, the SDAFF is showcasing 130 films ranging from full-length features to an assortment of short independent clips. The festival also includes workshops for young filmmakers. The spotlight film was "Dark Matter," which is a story based off true events of a physics student who kills six people at a university. Otherfilmsincluded were "Finishing the Game" (opening at the Landmark Ken Cinema in San Diego on Oct. 26), and "West 32nd," a crime drama set in New York's Korea-town. For many of the guests, the festival is an amazing platform to encourage and support the arts in the growing community. Special guests of the festival include celebrity faces from the Asian community such as Justin Lin, Roger Fan, Yul Kwon, MC Hammer and Leonardo Nam. Many of them spoke about upcoming projects, political and social awareness, and fair representation in the media.

"If there is a barrier that will break Asian Americans into mainstream, it's when as a whole they start putting their dollars into something that is specifically Asian American," said Fan who starred in "Finishing the Game" and 2002's "Better Luck Tomorrow." Kwon, the winner of"Survivor: Cook Islands", was on hand to help register bone marrow donors and encouraged political awareness among Asian-Americans. On Saturday night, the festival honored longtime actor George Takei. Takei, famous for roles such as Kaito Nakamura from Heroes, and the beloved Lt. Sulu from Star Trek, received a lifetime achievement award for his work in Hollywood and contributions to society. When asked about Heroes, he responded, "Nothing is as it seems on the surface- Stay tuned."

El Mexicano Kirin Ichiban BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Having visited a local sushi bar this weekend and encountered a lovely Japanese waitress, the mind craved more elements from the land of the rising sun. A quick glance at the checkbook and the daily planner resulted in canceling reservations hastily made on a random travel website. A quick visit to Beverages and More for a Japanese beer would have to suffice for now. Kirin Brewery Company operates in multiple industries and markets. Asahi Brewery bought out the brewery in 2000. The brewery has a complex history because the ownership has changed hands and management styles throughout the years. Kirin not only brews beer but also produces hard liquor, wine, soft drinks, and food. A Kirin bréw master produced fhis| partilular Six-pack f or A nheuser-Busch in Los Angeles, California. { 1 The cardboard packaging holds six, 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottles. Black, tan, and gold hues comprise the visual aesthetics. A creative god-like horse styled animal dominates the center of the packaging. The bottle is adorned with the same image. The bottles are capped with a tan and gold bottle cap that seals off a beer with 4.95% alcohol-by-volume and 145 calories. A light version offers 50 less calories. The beer pours ultra-smooth and creates little to no head. The champagne colored beer glistens heavenly behind the frosty glass. The beer creates a low key aroma similar to that of the more famous Heineken. Wort, barley malt, and hops function in harmony to create a smooth tasting beer. The beer enters the mouth, jolts the taste buds, and quickly exits stage left. A subtle tingling sensation lingers for a brief moment as a result of the shock. Given its crisp taste, the beer can be paired with almost any food selection. | If a Vacation l o Japan ] seems out of reach, * simply grab a six pack of Kirin Ichiban. Do not forget the camera. BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Since its release last Tuesday, Stephen Colbert's first book, "I Am America (And So Can You!)," raises one simple question: Is it a great book, or the greatest book ever? In my honest opinion, I would have to say, "Yes." It has something for everyone: humor, justice, and the truth about America. It should not be long before this book replaces the Constitution. BY BRYANT TINTLE Pride Staff Writer I, like most college students, have succumbed to the horror that is the "midnight munchies." The fact that you are starving at 11:00 at night while trying to do a Political Science paper due tomorrow isn't the scary part. The horror is driving around trying to find a good place open that late. That is why there exists the haven for the hungry nocturnal being: El Mexicano. Located on Mission Rd. in Escondido, it is within reasonable driving distance from CSUSM. In fact, it stands to reason that you may have already driven past it and never noticed it. It is difficult to comprehend that a building shaped like a small barn is actually a Mexican restaurant. Not only do you get a close restaurant, you also get a good p rice| A biirritó, quesadilla, and drink together are less tlfaii 7 dollars. Now, when I say burrito, I'm not talking about one of those thin, wimpy E AXOF little things youfindat your average run-of-the-mill fast food Mexican joint. You get a grande-size burrito, the kind you can only get at a hole-in-the^wall restaurant like this, a burrito you might feel bad for eating afterwards, but you don't care because it was so delicious. Take a couple of your buddies to lunch when you have a break. Reminisce about the crazy antics that your group has gotten itself into yet again. This is the perfect place to define as your friends' new meeting spot. So whether you and your friends are looking for a new restaurant to eat at so you don't get sick of sandwiches and burgers, or just looking to calm that midnight hunger beast,£ don't hesitate to take a short driye out of your ' comfort zone into a little place called El Mexicano, or "the delicious^ Mexican restaurant that you will be telling your friends about forever" in English. Image courtesy of Grand Central Publishing Seriously, this is a great read, whether or not you are a fan of Colbert and his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert R eport" I waited for this book for a very long time and the very cover of the book had me giggling. This book is part of Colbert's continuing tongue-in-cheek attempt to bring America back to its glorious, conservative state. From thefirstpage to the last, he writes with his clever and witty style that had me laughing out loud. The book covers how to live like an American in areas such as family, religion, media, and education. Armed with his right-wing values, he breaks down issues, pointing what is 'wrong' with America, and how everyone would be more patriotic by following his family-loving, Godfearing, alpha-male lifestyle. While being a humorous look at America, it is also very poignant. True to his nature, Colbert wrote this book to be both Entertaining and educational. So pick up some Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream, curl up in an American flag on a couch next to your copy of The Declaration of Independence, and enjoy "I Am America." Be sure to get several copies as well; one each for your bedroom, bath room, and living room to get your full serving of truth. This book should do for America, what Harry Potter did for wizards. If everyone could just read this book, the world would be a better place. And that's the word. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She was 59. Imamura-Seyller was a cherished member of the CSUSM f aculty and a key component of the Foreign Languages program. She is survived by her husband, and t wo children. Her son is a University student i n the U nited States and her daughter lives in Japan. Imamura-Seyller taught Japanese at CSUSM f rom the inception of the program and helped to develop consistently the s uccessful program it is today. Loved by her students as well as other faculty members she always had a warm smile for everyone. Dr. Anover, department chair of World Languages said that, "Professor Imamura- Seyller's passing is a great loss to CSUSM." As an adjunct professor, she showed her dedication to the students and the language program by exceeding the traditional involvement of part time professors. Her accomplishments and involvement in the program show her dedication t o her students and CSUSM.

See H AYNES, page 2 Discussions between staff and President Haynes BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer Closing a week of discussions with the three major bodies on campus, President Haynes met with the Cal State San Marcos s taff on Friday, Oct. 5, as part of a series of open f orums to address concerns on campus.

ASI President, Caitlin Gelrud, opened the forum, introducing President Haynes t o the seven students in attendance. Haynes then welcomed everyone and opened the floor for discussion. From skateboarding fines to new majors, students presented Haynes with a wide variety of questions during the hour-long forum. Sophomore, Sara Planchon, questioned President Haynes missed a class or an event and always made herself available for her students. She promoted Japanese language and culture at every opportunity she had. Imamura-Seyller created and hosted the Japanese culture week at CSUSM, a weeklong event with several opportunities to attend talks, art displays, and movies about Japanese cul- President Haynes sat down with a room f ull of CSUSM staff to hear their concerns about salaries, personnel shortages, and distribution of labor. While student and faculty a ffairs command attention with relative ease, the staff (the smallest body on campus) does not always receive t he same degree of consideration. One of the primary concerns brought up to President Haynes centered on an overall budget shortage across the various s taff departments. As a result o f• these shortages, staff personnel are now experiencing an inability for salary growth (in-range progression), even as they face increasing responsibilities. To f urther compound the issue, departments cannot open up new positions to help delegate responsibilities to meet the demands of a rapidly growing campus. In response t o salary concerns, President Haynes concurred with the s taff's concern and explained that t he Budget Committee is " being charged t o look at and discuss the pros and cons of a centralized pool .

"It's really interesting where rumors start," said President Haynes. University hour also became a topic of interest at the forum. "I'm personally frustrated with how University Hour is turning out," said Senior Felipe Zanartu. He believes the limited time makes it difficult to plan anything. He also notices various campus organizations scheduling events at the same time. President Haynes defended the s hift from the five-day a week University Hour to the now bi-weekly setup as a compromise for each side. "Last fall when we started five days a week, there were a fair amount of students who were really unhappy with the classes that couldn't be scheduled. So I administratively made an executive decision to t ry to protect University Hour [by having it] two days a week and also provide student the access to classes they needed." During the forum, Haynes even received a question through student text messaging. The student expressed a desire for a student union on campus. A student union is currently in preliminary planning and on a fundraising priority list. As a stretch goal, Haynes would like to break ground for a student union for CSUSM's twentieth anniversary in 2010 but as of now, nothing is official. Student Christina Ahmadpour asked President Haynes what reputation she would like CSUSM to have that could distinguish this campus f rom others. President Haynes explained, "we already hear students talking about how this is a smaller campus, a friendlier campus, our faculty know students and care about them." Because the campus is only seventeen years old, President Haynes added that many of the academic programs need time to grow before they can receive more recognition. The administration hopes to continue forums at least once a semester with the potential of more depending on President Haynes' availability. Any students eager to participate in the next forum should keep an eye out for future forums coming soon. for in-range progression and other salary increases for s taff."

Kenosha, Wisconsin �In Community and World Literary today's technology Series Presents: Still deciding which gadget William Luvaas Students and faculty enjoy a reading from to buy? This may help. award winning contemporary author BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, Oct. 4, CSUSM's Community and World Literary Series hosted a literature reading by author William Luvaas. Luvaas read some of his Ht-J erary work to a attentive audience of both students and faculty members. Words like "contemporary," "in your face," and "cutting edge" can describe Luvaas' style and still, there is so much more to the stories he creates. For the event, Luvaas read a short story from his book, "A Working Man's Apocrypha". The story, "A Season of Limb Fall", chronicles the eccentric events in a different Southern California than the one with which we familiarize. One such event involves a senile elderly woman arid her yippy dog being ripped into the air by a twister. The dog later turns up alive in a tree. Where else other than a literary reading could anyone really appreciate words like "alivening" and "kapockety"? How else would a "Be Sure Doggie Composter" make sense? Clearly the work of William Luvaas needs more than admiration, it makes you do a double take. Tornadoes, life threatening floods, and self-generating computers all exist in the fictitious world of Luvaas, Not only does this alternate reality intrigue any reader willing to give it a chance, it also has heart. The chkractei-is of "A Working Man's Apocrypha" are as loveable as they are eccentric and as flawed as they are remarkably genuine. Something about a literary reading brought out these elements in a way walking through a bookstore could never accomplish. Literary readings may not seem like the ideal social event on a Thursday night for college students. However, as someone who shared that same opinion in the past, I strongly recommend it. Hearing an author read their own writing aloud gives the audience much more than words on paper. The art of storytelling is an element that readers can't replicate. The next Community and World Literary Series event will showcase readings from K. Silem Mohammad on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. For more information visit http://www.csusm. edu/cwls/ A g uide t o t he n ewest a nd s leekest i n t echnology BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer In this day and age, having some piece of Bluetooth technology or HDTV has become almost as important as having your automobile to get to school.

Sponsored by the LGBTA, LGBTQ and the ASI Women's Center the "Coming Out Monologues" will be held October 11th at 7p.m. in the Clarke Field House. According to Bryce Manning, one of the directors of the event, the title was inspired from the famous play "The Vagina Monologues". Manning said the difference between "The Vagina Monologues" and "The Coming Out Monologues" is that this is not a play, instead it is a collection of speakers talking about their experiences with "coming out". Another inspiration toward organizing this event is the date it will be held. October is known as the LGBT history month and October 11th is National Coming Out Day. Not only will this be an opportunity for the audience to learn about the LGBT community but also to understand how the community handles talking about the subject for the first time. There will be several speakers at the event including Manning. Two other speakers will be coming from Massachusetts one of them will speak from a transgender perspective and the other from a straight ally perspective. Among other speakers there are some from the CSUSM community. Living in a heterosexual world is not easy for non-heterosexual individuals to talk about the topic freely. Most speakers tell their stories about acceptance in a heterosexual society. Although the performance is about the LGBT community everyone is welcome. "I expect the audience to walk away with a sense of understanding and learn new ideas about the subject" said Manning. �L / A l vJ XV FEATURES J L /LJ ± THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 9, 2007 te we unoreDiister. net e s e * h ed Website of ALahaRi BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer , a 1 a u Cleaning up Organize your household chores •forFree! Are you sick and tired of cleaning up after your roommates? Is your place a mess because you can't compile an efficient chore list? The people at ChoreBuster.net. have devised an innovative web solution that streamlines the process of making a chore list that, in effect, makes everyone happy. Chore Buster describes its services as a simple four-step process on the front page of the website. Step One: "Enter in people and chores." A fter registering, the main user inputs the names and e-mails of everyone partaking in the chores. Options include the percentage of chores that the given person is capable of doing. The advanced options include the capability to limit chores on certain days based on work schedules and other obligations. ChoreBuster also provides the option for users to input vacation dates, which excludes the given user from the schedule for the time in which he or she is away. Step Two: "Specify how hard/ undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done." A fter inputting all personal 0 Enter In people and chores Q Specify how hard / undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done 0 ChoreBuster automatically generates a fair schedule of chores QScheduleemailed to you daily or weekly-no need totogin information, users next create a list of all the chores necessary. Users input the chore's name, how often the chore should be done, and the chore's rating. ChoreBuster's rating system allows users to rate the difficulty and undesirability of a given chore based on a point system that includes "Nothing (0), Easy (1), Fairly Easy (2), Normal (3), Above Normal (4), Hard (5), Extreme (7), and Insane(14)." Step Three: "ChoreBuster Automatically Generates a fair schedule of chores." ChoreBuster makes sense of this feature on their website, "when you assign a rating to a chore, it means that chore is worth a certain number of points. Whenever someone is assigned a chore, they are given the amount of points that the chore is worth. ChoreBuster ensures fairness by always giving the 'next' chore to the person with the lowest score." Step Four: "Schedule is emailed to you daily of weekly - no need to log in." The schedule delivery really gives ChoreBuster its "wow" factor. Users select whether they would like to receive an e-mail with their generated chores weekly or daily, and from there an e-mail is conveniently sent out to all of the users on the account. ChoreBuster.net is redefining the art of scheduling, and making life easier for college students everywhere. m Ch clean coffee table/coasters clean fridge/freezer clean microwave clean oven clean rubbish bin clean shower clean toHel make bread mop bathroom floor mop kitchen door retrieve recycling bin sweep kitchen floor take rubbish out tidy lounge vacuum lounge and hallway 12 H anJnm Normal Hard Normal Hard Hard Above Normal Extreme Fairly Easy Above Normal Above Normal fairly Easy Normal Fairly Easy Normal Above Normal 11 Edit Qelete Edil Delete Pelete Delete Delete Delete E M pelete m m m m m E sisti E M Ostate Edit Delete E M fitistó E M Delete E M MSB Edit Delete E M Quiete Images courtesy of www.chorebuster.com Parking, Traffic, and High &as Prk No problem with a^spat I yj Special Peals far CSUSM Students ¡jj§-.

So, without further ado, your guide to surviving Saturday, Oct. 13 By Toria Savey /Pride Staff Writer OKTOBERFEST Cost: $3 or 2 for $5 Place: San Diego, specifically the neighborhood of Ocean Beach What: Yes, many radio stations have been broadcasting live from Oktoberfests all over the county for the past few weeks. What is unclear is why they even bothered. The official October beer capital of San Diego is the neighborhood of Ocean Beach. It's cheap. There's music on two stages. Sausages. Beer. Stereotypical bar maids and a whole lotta lederhosen. It's as close to Munich as you're going to get in one day. SAN DIEGO ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL Cost: $7 and up Place: Ultrastar Mission Valley (Hazard Center) What: With anywhere from six to sixteen films showing per night, the festival lasts from October 11th- 18th and can still barely cram in all the movies, panels and discussions. With films ranging into every subject matter, you should be able to get even your most closeminded friends to put aside their inhibitions about the indie nature of 'film festivals'. If you don't find something that appeals to you, I'll eat my hat. Actually, eat your own hat, because obviously there's something wrong with you already. LITTLE ITALY PRECIOUS FESTA Cost: Nothing! Place: San Diego again, this time in Little Italy What: While the cost is technically nothing, parking could set you back $7. Or there's always the trolley which will take you almost to the heart of the festa, Italian for 'festival'. With over 100,000 attendees, the festival starts on October 13th with a chalk drawing exhibition, and continues with the bulk of food, entertainment and vendors on October 14th. Oddly enough, their website also mentions sausages as being integral, though this time of the Italian variety. Little Italy is also known for its art community which is celebrated during several different annual events, and will no doubt be on display at the festa. MCAS MIRAMAR AIR SHOW Cost: Nothing! Again! Place: Marine Corps Air Station Miramar What: Quite simply, lots of planes. Maybe you have a child who would be amused. Maybe you're trying to go deaf by the age of thirty. Maybe you never got over those childhood dreams of being afighterpilot. Featuring everything from military demonstrations to wingwalkers (yes, that's just what it sounds like), there's enough to > keep the young, old, and even attention deficit entertained. ANNUAL TIJUANA TEQUILA TOUR Cost: OkrPricey. $39. Place: leaves from Old Town Transit Center, San Diego What: Perhaps you don't drink tequila. That's a shame. But it leaves plenty more for the rest of us. While this tour is definitely a little expensive, you travel to Mexico by bus and arrive as the Tequila Expo, a holy land for aficionados, where you can taste over 100 different tequilas. Actually, it's unlimited tasting of 100 different tequilas. Did you catch the UNLIMITED part?!?

Well worth the drive. Happy Hour at the Belly Up Tavern: For you AND your grandma BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer This week my assignment was to check out the Belly Up Tavern's happy hour. Every Friday the Belly Up has a happy hour with a live band, dancing and a cheap five-dollar cover charge. The Belly Up Tavern is a North County treasure, located in the heart of beautiful Solana Beach. The happy hour session is from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays. There's a different band scheduled for each session. A 21-year-old age limit is enforced in the tavern. I had been to the Belly Up before and found the intimate venue to be an entertaining local spot to see a show in North County. However, to my surprise, the Belly Up hapgy hour caters to a more mature crowd. There weren't any drink specials or food specials for the happy hour. The only budget advantage was the five dollar cover charge. Fortunately, the band was extremely entertaining. As a "nostalgia" band, they were experts in all kinds of party dance classics from the 40's to the 90's. Five men and two women were all wearing costumes and energizing the crowd. One of the women was playing the sax while the other did vocals. The men played keyboard, vocals, upright base, guitar and drums. Everyone able to dance was dancing. It was enjoyable to see people take pleasure in themselves, even though I felt like a junior high kid at the senior prom. Next week on Oct. 12, there will be a band called The Fabulous Pelicans who are also a party dance music band. The following week, Oct. 19, the Bayou Brothers will be playing. The Bayou Brothers are a Louisiana dance band that will leave you craving gumbo shrimp and dirty rice. For those of you who enjoy people watching, I encourage you to head down to happy hour at the Belly Up as a pre-party to your Friday night. 2 fflE9 Images courtesy San Diego Asian Film Foundation, US Marine Corps, Little Italy Associaton, Tijuana Tourism Board H IP H OP The Dream Merchant 2 9TH WONDER This hip hop beat-specialist has produced for hip hop artist as underground as Little Brother and as overground as Jay-Z.

All is right in the universe. The latest offering by the Farrelly brothers is "The Heartbreak Kid", where farts, crazy sex, and inappropriate language by old men are what keep audiences in their seats. Stiller is Eddie Cantrow, a 40year old sport shop owner looking for love. It doesn't help that his father, played by real life dad Jerry, is encouraging him to "live life" - which in his definition means sleeping with as many women as possible. Love in this case comes in the form of a bombshell named Lila (Malin Ackerman) who at first glance, looks like a sweet- heart until the jaws of marriage brings out the ultra-neurotic nature in her, as well as Eddie. Eddie immediately regrets his life altering decision in marrying Mrs. Wrong after a Mini Cooper road trip to Cabo San Lucas where Lila sings the lyrics to all songs on the radio. Not just popular songs, but every song. It's after a serious (and I mean serious) sunburn mishap that Lila is locked up in the room for most of the honeymoon, Eddie meets another sweetheart in Miranda (Michelle Monaghan). They find solace in each other and by this point, the movie begins to feel almost recycled with love triangles and coincidental disasters. Carlos Mencia also stars in the movie as a stereotypical, sleazy hotel worker. He does more to hinder the film oppo- site the bouncing dialogue between Stiller and elder-Stiller. Stiller still plays the role of the hopeless good guy we want to root for and it's something that doesn't seem to get old. He brings a great exuberance to the loser role that suits his acting well. The film is a remake from 1972 film by Neil Simon. Rest assured that the Farrelly brothers have not lost a step in purveying their sense of humor to moviegoers, but it feels more like the kind of humor we got from "There's Something About Mary". I t's cool, but it isn't groundbreaking humor like what we see these days like in "Borat", "The 40Year Old Virgin" and "Superbad". The directing duo does a great j ob i n casting every role just right in the film. People shouldn't have to worry that all the good comedic moments are spoiled by trailers and commercials. There's enough substance that satisfies, such as a certain donkey scene. Comedy is the Farrelly's muse, and comedy is where their success will always be seen. Let's hope that Peter and Bobby never decide to commit career suicide by directing a drama or action movie. Image courtesy of DreamWorks LLC cano, and the sun.

George's Burger? cy c^ BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer By George, I think they've got it! Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the name. George's Burgers is one of those few places that has escaped the infinite pit of generic burger joints whose food is as bland as the Joes, Bobs, and Chucks, they're named after. George's Burgers is a modest place located on N. Las Posas Road, j ust o ff the 78. While it may not be the most epic burger in San Marcos, George's Burgers will stand toe to toe with the veterans if called upon. This place couldn't be any more perfect for the wayward CSUSM student, catering to even the most discerning palette with a frighteningly diverse menu. At George's Burgers, you will undoubtedly discover the most unholy of the fast food trinities: burgers, Mexican, and Greek Food. George's Burgers also boasts a fairly thorough breakfast menu. When Samuel Morse dispatched that immortal utterance-"What hath god wrought?"in his first telegraph transmis sion, it was because he had just read the menu at George's Burgers. While George's Burgers' methods are daring and perhaps blasphemous, it is improbable if not impossible for you to not enjoy something there. Since it is a burger place first and foremost, I decided to try the quarter pound special burger. Expecting a humble quarterpounder, you can imagine my surprise when this colossal behemoth invaded my face. A fter the initial shock, I soon discovered this burger to be a gentle giant, a stable and calm blend of ingredients. It is a harmonious celebration of unrivaled equality where no element of the burger overwhelms another or the rest. The hamburger meat has a faint spice that contributes to the innovative dynamic of the burger. In similar fashion to the burger, the f ries are beastly slabs of potato. While they are fairly generous in flavor, they don't harbor excess grease that can often times overwhelm a French fry. I definitely recommend you pencil George's Burgers somewhere into your list of places to go before you die, preferably somewhere between your 10:15 a.m. History class and your trip to The Great Wall of China.

While own President Haynes is among those executives that recently received a pay raise, she is not the target of any of the CFA's criticism, unlike many other CSU presidents. Citing fraudulent spending on compensation for executives as well as unreliable data to j ustify pay raises, the CFA, Senator Yee, Assemblyman Portantino, and students plan to convene at the State Capitol to urge Governor Schwarzenegger to sign A.B. 1430 and S.B. 190 into law, legislation that will considerably reform current executive compensation policy in the CSU.

The protest's purpose was to raise awareness and get individuals to sign a petition to t he governor of Louisiana demanding the freedom of the Jena 6. In the town of Jena, La., with a population of less than 3,000, the whole story began with an incident regarding a tree.

ASI and the Women's Center are sponsoring the first twenty students that RSVP, and there is no cost for r eturning students. The program focuses on empowering women, and prepares them to b e aware of their surroundings. R.A.D. System's objective is " to develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to t he woman who is attacked." This course for women spans over 4 sessions: October 9, 11, 16, 18. Each session r uns f rom 4 p.m.-7 p.m. This semester's instructors are Officer McLean, Officer Panza, CSO rep. Casey Burns, Student Health rep. Cathy Nguyen, and CSUSM Foundation rep. Sarah Derho. Officer McLean explained, "We teach concepts as tools for women to put into their toolbox. We o ffer them choices, should they ever be faced with an assault situation." According to R.A.D Systems (http:// www.rad-systems.com), over 250,000 women have taken this course. Lawrence N. Nadeau founded the program in 1989, and since then the program has grown to be the largest organization of its kind. A s Officer Panza explained, CSUSM has offered the course since the summer of 1996. Instructors have taught the course to students, teachers and faculty here, as well at other institutions. CSUSM graduate student Lissa Lim took the course in 2004. Sharing her experience, Lissa explains that she learned to be more assertive. " I learned a lot and gained confidence in my ability to defend myself. It was great! Each woman learned that it doesn't matter if you're big or small. We were all able to use what we had learned, successfully." Lissa also described the simulations at the end of the course in which, instructors wearing padded suits would act out attack scenarios while students practiced defending themselves. The course emphasizes awareness, prevention, and basic defense techniques. Officer McLean stated, "we teach individuals to heighten their awareness level."

Followingthe spread o fthe news spread amongst UVA residents and CSUSM students throughout the week, over the weekend THE PRIDE of $29, 775 from the Board of Trustees despite "a resounding vote of no confidence from the faculty (78% voted "no confidence"), a student petition for no confidence in the president, and revelations that he has used his position to help hunters shoot endangered species in Africa." Similarly, President of Sonoma State, Ruben Arminana, got a $28,113 raise in spite of a "no confidence vote" vote by threequarters of the faculty. Fresno State University President, John Welty, recipient of a $35,011 raise, received his raise just after his school lost a pivotal gender discrimination lawsuit, costing Fresno State $5.85 million. The report also accuses the CSU Administration of "golden parachute" deals, which involves generously compensating departed administrators even after they stop working, otherwise known as "no show jobs". Former CSU Monterey Bay President left his job in 2005 for a six-figure job at UNESCO and was left on the CSU payroll for a year after his departure, earning $157,932 for literally no work. Even after executive compensation reforms, "retiring CSU Dominguez Hills President James Lyons received a check for $103,460 on his way to a new job in Maryland" according to CFA's report. The CFA also attacked the CSU executive compensation policy from a different angle, identifying discrepancies in the salary comparison study that suggested a 46% salary lag for CSU executives. This study, kndwn now as the Mercer study, formed the basis for Chancellor Reed's proposal at the last Board of Trustees meeting, a proposal that ultimately resulted in the latest round of executive pay raises. The CFA, with the help of Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, recently called for the CSU to disclose the entire Mercer report. They also released a report critical of the parts of the study that are public, claiming, "at least three issues raise serious questions about the conclusions drawn by Mercer and acted upon by CSU officials." Among these issues, the report cites some factors not calculated in the Mercer study, including the monthly $1,000 car allowance and the $50,000-$60,000 yearly housing allowance which is more than some CSU faculty salaries. This evidence leads the CFA and others to question thé accuracy of the perceived salary lag. This report also identifies the unnecessary confidentiality ofthe report, which the CSU Administration and Mercer identify as "trade secrets". Meanwhile, the CFA and Assemblyman Portantino maintain, "compensation surveys should be transparent, not proprietary." Assemblyman Portantino said, "it is absolutely absurd that a public institution refuses to provide information to the public they are serving and I am calling on them to, once and for all, release the entire report." The Chancellor's O ffice has not o fficially responded to the latest reports and criticisms, but he has maintained his support of the data found in the Mercer study. a j ury of all-white after two hours of deliberation. The verdict has since been overturned by a court of appeals, which stated that he should never have been tried as an adult. A police r eport was never f iled for the noose incident, and t he students in question received p unishment t hrough the school's j udiciary system, but were not expelled. According t o several news sources, some members of the c ommunity agree with the school's s uperintendent that the nooses were j ust a p rank. Reactions throughout the country have been varied. Over 20,000 people marched in Jena to protest racial injustice. Knowledge of the situation in Jena, and response to it, had remained small here on campus until quite recently.

In Vista, an inquiry about holding a Mexican Independence Day celebration was met by this comment from the head of the chamber of commerce: "Absolutely not. This would be divisive. Can you imagine how the Minutemen will react?" The Escondido City Council voted to ban renting living space to illegal immigrants, a law later overturned in the courts after two million dollars were spent on legal fees. "I found out [about Jena] through YouTube about six months ago and after taking a class on social injustice in the judicial system, I researched more about the Jena 6 and realized how the theory in that class pertained to an actual event...I just couldn't sit there when injustice went on," said campus protest organizer Diana Wong. an announcement appeared on the inside doors of the UVA stating that the alleged ban on Harry Potter was a hoax. According to UVA staff, the announcement of the ban was designed to ignite student interest in a program on banning books and censorship. According to Mike Sapp, treasurer of the Resident Hall Council, "It was a hoax just to get people interested; because nothing else worked... it had been planned before school started." Freshman David McFarlane, a UVA resident, said, "It's defi- nitely a way to get attention, especially the way they made the letter look official. But I'm sure it pissed some people off." Censorship is a fairly solemn subject. In this case, it spells out an effective advertising opportunity for the UVA. filli llllllllllllil mereiai $mmptí$m I right t o jreject 'my adventeii^v -1 ~* / Pride ; is- " publist^; weekly ; m ^ e&days during a eademlcfpk, í>&frÍbiK I l e Frille Cal State San Mateos Xwm Valley l is: É i i l l ck mmmm ali i I li: Email: ¡lili pñé^cmmMn http://www. thecsmmpride. com Advertising Email: ^mtW'im^ 1 Burglary.

The Chargers needed to set things straight Sunday. Coming off of two tough losses on the road, a home match-up against a mediocre Kansas City Chiefs team was supposed breathe fife into the struggling Chargers, and give fans something to cheer about. Qualcomm Stadium was buzzing with anticipation prior to Sunday's start. The support was greeted as early as the Chargers posted the first ten points of the game. With an early Nate Kaeding field goal and an impressive LaDainian Tomlinson rushing touchdown, made possible by a Philip Rivers pass to Wide Receiver, Vincent Jackson for 39 yards. The Chiefs got on the board early in the second with a 21-yard field goal by Dave Rayner. With 6:55 left in the second, Nate Kaeding kicked season best, 51-yard field goal, to improve the Chargers lead to 13-3. Kaeding struck again at the end of the second quarter with yet another field goal, this time for 38 yards. With Kaeding's field goal, the Chargers took a 10 point lead into half time, appeasing fans until Kansas City struck hard in the third quarter. Up to date SOCCER*^ RESULTS* Just minutes after Chiefs kicker, Dave Rayner kicked a 41-yard field goal, Chiefs quarterback, Damon Huard passed to tight end, Tony Gonzalez for a 51 yard touchdown, tying the game up at 16-16. The Chiefs took the lead with 11:46 left in the fourth quarter, as Huard passed to rookie wide receiver, Dwayne Bowe, for 51 yards and the touchdown. Philip Rivers cracked under pressure with seven minutes to go in the game, giving up a fumble that was recovered by rookie cornerback, Tyron Brackenridge for a 50 yard defensive touchdown. The Chargers failed to mount a comeback in the final minutes of the game, making the final score Chiefs 30, Chargers 16. The loss pushed the Chargers to a record of 1-3, and left fans questioning the legitimacy of their new head coach, Norv Turner. Fans went as far as to chant "MAR-TY! MAR-TY! MAR-TY!" late in the game, in reference to former coach, Marty Schottenheimer, who was fired shortly after last season. Schottenheimer led the Chargers to an NFL best 14-2 record last season, but was shown the door after a series of disagreements with Chargers general manager A.J. Smith.

Look no further Carlsbad coast offers wine tasting as a c heap alternative to ¿the b ar h opping scene - BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer I do not think of myself as much of a wine connoisI seur. Although I do enjoy wine I am more interested in hanging out with friends and enjoying the experience. When my friend asked me a few weeks ago to try.a wine tasting in downtown Carlsbad I was suspicious. In my opinion, Carlsbad represents a spot for a few pints at the pub rather than a cultured wine tasting. In order to appease my friend and try something new I went anyway. What surprised me most was how unpretentious the experience was. I always imagined wine tasting to correspond with words like; complex, smoky yet fruity, and appealing. My friend took me to Witch Creek Winery on Grand Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. The comical man behind the bar was cheerful and unassuming. He created a welcoming atmosphere for the knowledgeable wine drinker and novice alike. He offered descriptions along with a recipe for every bottle we purchased. The wine selection wàs predominately red although there were a few whites selected, along with one cider. Walking inside the winery was like being transported toNorthern California. Walking inside the winery was like being transported to Northern California. The wood flooring added an earthy atmosphere.

Upon entering the winery, we felt an immediately warm and relaxed setting. The back of the store was lined with a selection of various wines and gifts, while the periphery wall was lined with domestic and imported beers. Leading out to the back patio was the bar surrounded with tables and chairs thai created an appealing atmosphere. The back patio was open and included a fountain that transported the clientele to a restaurant in the South of France. The Wine Spot offered a variety of tasting options. Fifteen dollars gave us a selection of six themed wines and six dollars for three house wines and three dollars gave us a choice of three select beers. The winery also offered pairings of cheese and BBQ with the fifteen-dollar tasting. A woman behind the bar offered us the selections of tastings and gave an explanation for each wine. The winery also provided a tasting list to make notes for future reference. The ambiance was equally approachable for seasoned wine tasters as well as beginners. For a quick getaway on a student budget I recojnmend a trip to the coast of Carlsbad and try a tasting. You may find a love for wine you never knew you had, or just enjoy the atmosphere with friends.

And according to Yesenia Diaz, president of the Oaxaca Student Organization (OSO) here on campus, it is their mission to share it within the community. "We do more focusing on our culture than advocating," she said. "We want to celebrate our traditions." The idea started from Carmelino Cruz, a '05 CSUSM alum and friend of Diaz, and in September of last year, the Student Life and Leadership Offices approved the organization. Now a year later, the group has approximately 15 active members as well as a handful of supporters here on campus. The OSO seeks to provide students of Oaxacan origin with encouragement and a sense of unity in pursuing their college educations and participating in the community as well as inviting others to learn about Oaxacan customs and traditions. Ildeberto Ojeda, who is a freshman here at CSUSM and member of the OSO, is an Oaxacan native and saw the opportunity in joining the OSO. "It's a community that encourages pursuing education and opening doors and inviting others to join as well," he said The OSO holds cultural events and takes part in the Hispanic festivities much like other Latino groups such as M.E.Ch.A and the Ballet Folklórico Tierra Caliente. Their first event was in collaboration with Main St. Oceanside that celebrated Dia de los Muertos in October of 2006 and proved to be a success in getting the group more public recognition. Other celebrations include the celebration of the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution of 1910 on November 20th as well as holidays that relate to the Oaxacan culture like Guelaguetza and the birthday of Benito Juarez who was a President of Mexico and a native from Oaxaca. "Everyone is welcome to join," said Diaz. "We want to keep our traditions and celebrate them on campus and share them within the community." The OSO meets on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in the Library in room 2413 and welcomes anyone interested in joining.

BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer com, one of America's leading e-commerce websites announced the sale of Digital Rights Management (DRM)-free MP3s for the same price, and cheaper than the heavy hitters in the digital music market; most notably iTunes. iTunes, along with the majority of other digital music providers implement a tactic deemed necessary by many of the major record labels, called Digital Rights Management, or more casually, DRM. DRM is a method of copy protection that defends against the unauthorized duplication of a file. The most infamous implementation is that of the iTunes Music Store. iTunes uses MPEG-4 AAC DRM encoding that locks files into the iTunes player itself, and disallows users to play tracks purchased in the iTunes Music Store on any portable device other than Apple's own iPod. There are simple workarounds (i.e. burning the purchased tracks to a CD-R and reimporting), but none are as elementary as simply being able to freely move the files around. Amazon, who is among the e-commerce elite and one of the first major companies to sell goods online, has the right vision on the sale of digital music.

You know how I can tell? Because it involves a whole lot of aesthetic preparation and is usually quite p ainful. Oh, and because my grandmother thinks it's hilarious. Yeah, that's the whole checklist, so we're good to go. And so you know in advance, anything I use as an example has either happened to me or a close friend. I'm here to prepare you for the real world, and it's rough. Here's what used to take place in the Savey household. I take a shower. I shave my legs, because you never know. I get dressed, put on some make up, try to fix my hobo haircut, and go have coffee/dinner/wrist breaking skating incident. But no more. A fter the 14th guy who stared at me blankly because he didn't understand my jokes, I've got a new plan, that I've already implemented with moderate success. First of all, make it lunch. Then you don't have to worry about two horrific possibilities: being stuck with a loser face all night OR home by 8pm and stuck watching a madefor-TV movie while your grandmother laughs at you. Lunch is a deciding ground for whether an individual is worth post-5 p.m. hours. There's some quality TV on this fall and you don't want to agree to miss it until you're sure. And by sure, I mean you've already made it through lunch without him mentioning his ex obsessively, or finding out that he has a collection of Beanie Babies. Yeah, they were cute. W HEN I WAS 10. Second, I no longer get dressed and put on make up. I pick my battle gear and put on my war paint. Yes, dating was adorable and innocent in high school and maybe, if he was a real looker, you held hands by the end of the night. Now, you could end up with a guy who whips it out in the middle of Wii Golf and stares at you expectantly. Last but not least, be c areful with the hair. I personally recommend making it as large as possible. If they're intimidated by the plumage, then you will have gotten rid of another one who possesses the spine of a jelly fish. I personally use a p unk rock crest for the first date. It has a subtle, "You wanna play size? Mine's bigger," feeling about it, even if it's j ust hair. And for the love of all that is holy: Do. Not. Go. Skating. BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer On March 20, six guys with nothing better to do than make predictions about this season voiced their opinions. These six guys were Joshua Sandoval, Jeremy Albers, David Church, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn and Kyle Trembley. Now that the season is over, it is time to see how everyone did as well as make my predictions for the postseason. I'm going to start with the Easy Pick Award. Sandoval, Albers and I all predicted the obvious, Jake Peavy, for winning the "Cy Young" award. Peavy, as expected, carried the Padres to the playoffs as well as leads the league in wins, ERA and strikeouts. Peavy is most likely going to miss out of the M VP because he is not an everyday player, but his batting stats should be considered, as he had key hits for his team when the rest of the team w as lagging. The "Good Call" award goes to Trembley, who chose the Cleveland Indians to be the surprise of the season. The Indians were able to bounce back to form this season a fter failing to make the playoffs since 2001. The biggest surprise of the Indians was their battling the Boston Red Sox for best record headed into the final weekend. The "What-Were-You-Thinking" award goes to everyone in the National League and American League M VP's. Prince Fielder and Alex Rodriquez should both walk away with all the first place votes. Making our predictions about Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, David Ortiz and Vladimir Guerrero look terrible. The " Guts" award goes to Albers, and I because we're the only two not to pick Johan Santana for the "AL Cy Young" award. Although Santana will be in the r unning for the award, I don't see how,he will walk away with it. Albers' pick of C.C. Sabathia is looking good with Sabathia 5th in ERA and strikeouts and tied for 2nd in wins. My pick of John Lackey is also looking good despite a September slump. Lackey still leads the A L in ERA, tied with Sabathia in wins and is 10th in strikeouts. But with the playoffs beginning, it's time to make a few more predictions. In the A L, I believe that t he New York Yankees will remain hot and w alk away f rom t he Division Series in six g ames over t he I ndians. I w ill stick with my original prediction and have t he L os Angeles A ngels of A naheim finally b eat the Red Sox with Lackey out-pitching Josh Beckett in both g ames t o w in t he series 4-1. T he Angels will continue t o succeed against the Yankees and will walk t o t he World Series. In t he N L, I feel that the Chicago Cubs have more to prove than the young Arizona Diamondbacks, and will win the series in five games. I am going to go against my preseason prediction of the New York Mets w inning it all. I believe that the Padres will out-pitch the Mets hitting, and advance in five games. Then we will see the Billy Goat C urse go into play and watch M addux and Peavy dominate the Cubs to advance to the World Series. A s much as I don't want to say this, if the Angels do play the Padres, I do expect the Angels to r un all over the Padres. The Angels will walk with the trophy when it is all said and done, and Chone Figgins will be crowned the MVP. All comments can be sent to me at churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu.

This month, audiences will finally be able to see one such film. Based on a true story, "Into the Wild" is Sean Penn's film adaptation of a book by the same name written by novelist Jon Krakauer. "Into the Wild" is about the real life adventures of Christopher McCandless (played masterfully and intuitively by Emile Hirsch), a 1990 Emory University graduate who donated his entire savings of $24,000 to OXFAM and left his life and family behind to journey across North America into Alaska. Having assumed the alias "Alexander Supertramp," Alex meanders impulsively across the U.S. and even into Mexico* ultimately ending up in Alaska, Hirsh depicts the whimsical and freespirited nature of Alex with unrivaled honesty, and through his portrayal, endears the audience, who comes to understand Alex's reverence for the beauty of the wild. Hirsch's portrayal is genuine as he adapts to the changes Alex undergoes within the story. The entire story matures as Alex discovers himself and comes to understand what joy is, capturing the message of Christopher McCandless' story. However, it is not the depiction of Alex alone that warrants "Into the Wild" such praise. Do not be mistaken in thinking that this film is only about man's escape to nature. The heart of the film connects Image courtesy tif Paramount Vintage Left, Emilie Hirsch playing Christopher McCandless/Alexander Supertramp parts ways with Hal Holbrook playing Ron Franz in a California desert. humanity with nature in a dynamic way, emphasizing the importance of both relationships as components of happiness. Sean Penn impressively develops the complexity of Alex's character by striking an important balance between Alex's adoration of nature and the relationships he develops with the people he encounters along the way. The cinematography and photography provide a majestic backdrop for Alex's travels, generating a sanctuary for Alex's escape from his dysfunctional family, the material fixations of contemporary America, and ritualistic living. His encounters in the wild are captivating and moving.

The Theater Communication Group (TCG) is an organization that helps promote live theater in the community. Their mission is to introduce theater to the general public, especially to those not normally drawn to the arts. In 2005, TCG teamed up with the Association of Performing Arts Service Organizations to create "The Free Night of Theater" program. This year, 25 to 30 communities will be participating in the program. That is up from the 16 communities that participated in 2006. There are free tickets available for 14 productions in San Diego County. Anyone interested can reserve tickets by going to www.freenightoftheater.net. The website also includes all the productions available, their descriptions, and their venues. The Christian Youth Theater (CYT) for Kids at Mission Hills Theatre in San Marcos will participate in the program. "This is our first time participating in the program and we are looking forward to its success. CYT offers wholesome entertainment for the entire family," said Cathie Stanner, Managing Director of CYT. The theater will present 'Seussical', a musical based oil the childhood stories of Dr. Seuss. The production -will take place at the CYT Theater in San Marcos on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m.. Some other productions are: "The Turn of the Screw", "MUERTOS: A Day of the Dead Play", and "Cadenza: Mozart's Last Years" in San Diego. Other participating cities include Chula Vista, Solana Beach, Escondido, and El Cajon. College students are one of the groups targeted by the Free Night of Theater program. Live theater does not typically draw in the young crowd but with free ticket offerhope is that fact will soon begin to fade. Some product i o ns are great for the entire family. Others involve scandal and murder. Some are timeless classics while others promise a good laugh. A night at the theater could also make for a romantic date - she doesn't need to know the tickets were free. And, if that isn't enough of a motivation, many professors offer extra credit that involves writing reviews for live performances.

Thus, places serving alcohol became known as speakeasies. Music and dancing flourished in the underground scene. The packaging catches the eye with sleek and sophisticated colors and designs. The cardboard container, holding six 12 ounce brown tinted glass beer bottles, depicts a couple decked out in flashy clothes entering what is most likely a speakeasy during Prohibition. A simple dark city skyline fills the rest of the available space. The bottles themselves have a pair of white eyes that are striking. The single set of eyes are placed on the upper portion of the bottle. The big brother eyes appear to be watching the consumer of the ale as most people probably felt during Prohibition. The dark bottles are capped with bold white caps with the brewery's name written across the top. The caps contain an ale with a 6.1 percent alcohol by volume. The American style amber ale pours smooth with a half inch thick head. The ale has a pleasant aroma similar to that of a garden on an early Sunday morning. It shocks the mouth first with a bold mint like taste and finishes relatively calm. Thg ale has caramel malts a ndroid hops, giving it a complexity that encpjurages the jnmcf to explore the ale.

Within one years time, the brewery tripled production in 1998. In 2000, the brewery began to bottle their brews for retail. This created a need for a larger facility and in 2001, the brewery moved to a larger building and doubled their capacity once again. The company remains independently owned and operated. The 18th Amendment of the United States Constitution brought about Prohibition. Prohibition of alcohol, commonly known as the Dry Law, lasted from 1920 to 1933. There were approximately 1,300 American breweries before Prohibition. Only 126 breweries survived Prohibition. During Prohibition, underground alcohol sales continued.

Most of us now eat the infamous Top Ramen or, if you decide to get a little crazy, you might just splurge for fast food. Tom's Family Fun Restaurant #22 is located on San Marcos Boulevard, right across the street from San Marcos Edwards Cinema. Once again CSUSM students luck out with another great restaurant located qlpse tq the university. Depending pn h \pgruyou are, there a r^SiallFto large meals ranging frdfti $3.99 to $8.99. Tom's menu has a lot of variety ranging from Mexican cuisine to the all-American burger. What interested me the most about this restaurant is the inside dining area. It has the old setting of a 1950's dinner, but with a modern twist. In old fashioned restaurants, the waiter or waitress would come to you, but at Tom's you order at the front. To me, that is better, so when you are all stuffed, you don't have to worry about the bill. Finally, the infamous question yet again is, "Who do I go to Tom's with?" That is an easy answer, readers. The answer is anyone. You can go with your boyfriend/ girlfriend or just go out for a coffee with your classmate. Tom's- Restaurant i s-a very relaxed environment with no karaoke nights or any events. What Tom's brings to San Marcos is its convenience for any one of their customers. Whether it is a quick eat with t he use of their drive-thru or having a three-hour meal with your best friend, Tom's Family Fun Restaurant brings the comfort to you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XVIII NO. 5 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 Board of Trustees approves executive pay raises F aculty a nd s tudents o utraged o ver a pproved p roposal BY BENROFFEE Pride Staff Writer After hearing Chancellor Reed's proposal, the CSU Board of Trustees voted last Tuesday, Sept. 18, to increase executive salaries for the second time this year, this time by an average of 11 percent. The approved pay raise will grant CSU presidents and various other CSU executives pay raises retroactive to July 2007, meaning that CSU executives will receive compensation equal to their new salary for the months since July on top of their immediate raises. This decision comes in spite of protest from California Faculty Association, government officials, and CSU students, whose primary concern is with the timing of these raises as the CSU budget is in upheaval, With these new rounds of raises for executives coinciding with a thinning budget and a 10 percent student fee hike, the unpopularity of this decision seems to have rekindled the tension between CSU executives and the rest of the faculty and students. CFA president Lillian Taiz, speaking on behalf of the CFA, criticized the proposal and the CSU Board of Trustees' decision at in her address to the Board at Tuesday's meeting. "Your actions today make it very clear that executive salaries are the only issues this board seems determined to address. We wish you would find the same level of determination when dealing with skyrocketing fees and overcrowded classrooms that you do when providing executives raise." Lt. Governor John Garamendi, a member of the Board by merit o fhis office, expressed concern over the proposed salary increases. "This is clearly tied to a student fee increase. I cannot think of a worse way to convey yourselves to the legislature when you are going to have ask for more money in the budget process in the coming months." Garemendi also requested that the board put off the proposed salary increases until the next Board of Trustees meeting pending passage of AB 1430 and SB 190 as law from the Governor's office. These pieces of legislation would increase the transparency of executive salary discussions and limit the amount of money executives can make for their work. In a conference call with reporters last Thursday, Sept. 20, Chancellor Reed stated that "one of the things that we're going to do.. .is set that up to allow the Governor and the Legislature to 'buy out' that fee increase."

Despite discrepancies in the reliability and accuracy of this data, the Chancellor will continue to work to close this purported salary gap, aiming to close it completely by 2010. Since the California Postsecondary Commission halted its executive salary studies based on inadequate data on CSU executive benefits, Chancellor Reed commissioned Mercer Human Resource Consultation to conduct comparative salary studies. BJJ, both in self-defense techniques and in ground submissions. At the start of the class, students warm up with simple partner exercises. From there, students learn positional control techniques, as well as various joint locks and chokes from these positions. Unlike some other martial arts, students can practice most BJJ techniques at full speed against a resisting partner, which has the advantage of giving students a much more realistic learning experience. After a fair share of practice, students get the chance to try their newly mastered moves on each other in brief sparring matches at the end of the class. Sophomore, Alex Wang, f requently attends the course and explains that he decided to t ry it out because "I had f ree time and had an interest in martial arts." When asked what he enjoyed most about the class, Alex stated that "learning to defend yourself When asked why his office chose t o commission the Mercer group instead of supply the necessary data to CPEC, the Chancellor stated that "the Mercer Group is a nationally respected organization." Chancellor Reed went on to explain that the Mercer study only does a "cash compensation analysis because it is very d ifficult to get Universities...to disclose all of their benefits." The limited scope of this study does raise important questions about the effectiveness of this study as a basis for executive compensation decisions like the one made at Tuesday's meeting. With the growing awareness of the CSU faculty, s taff, and students, it is clear that f uture executive raises will not pass without rigid scrutiny. In an e ffort headed by the California State Student Association t o involve the public in the Board's decisions, students will soon be able to apply to become one of two Student Trustees to the CSU Board of Trustees. Between new legislative regulations, budget crisis, new representation on the Board, and an unrelenting body of staff and students, the authority of the CSU Board of Trustees to approve executive compensation increases in the f uture has some new obstacles to overcome.

In addition to the actual techniques learned, Alex tells the Pride that " it's also a good workout, especially for stamina."

The Packers proved their point against the Bolts in a dramatic fashion, winning on a last-minute touchdown by NFL great, Brett Favre. Favre entered the game just three away from tying Dan Marino's record of 420 career touchdowns. The Chargers attacked first when quarterback, Philip Rivers passed to tight end, Vincent Jackson for 27 yards and the touchdown, to take the 7-0 lead. Packers quarterback, Brett Favre heated up early in the second quarter, passing to wide receiver, Donald Driver for a short touchdown with 11:53 on the clock. Later in the quarter, Favre hooked up with tight end, Bubba Franks for another short touchdown pass, making Favre just one touchdown pass away from tying the all-time record. The Chargers tightened things up in the final minutes of the quarter when Rivers connected with wide receiver, Buster Davis for a 9 yard touchdown, bringing the Packers lead to only three at the half. LaDainian Tomlinson returned tQ the limelight in the third quarter, taking the lead with a 21 yard touchdown reception, maneuvering in typical LT fashion en route to the end zone. The Packers fought back with two minutes l eft in the game, as Brett Favre passed for his r ecoritying 420th career t ouchdown,' connecting with wide receiver, Greg Jennings for 57 yards and the lead. The Packers capitalized on a Philip Rivers interception, taking on some insurance with a Brandon Jackson rushing touchdown, pushing the score to 31-21. Nate Kaeding kicked a 44-yard field goal on the Chargers final drive in hopes to set up an onside kick comeback, but it wasn't enough to hold off Green Bay, who issued the Chargers their second straight loss by a score of 31-24. The Packers improved to 3-0, their best start since 2001. The Chargers record is now 1-2, as they head home to take on the 12 Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at 1:15p.m. on CBS.

From its modest beginnings in the fall of 1998 in Menlo Park, California, Google has had a mission: " to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Flash forward nine years, and Google is the most used search engine on the web, with more than half of the world's web-search market share. There is no doubt Google reigns supreme on the web, and with publicly traded stock hovering around the 550.00 mark, Google is clearly a monetary staple as well. One of the perks of bringing in roughly $10.6 billion a year is the ability to innovate with advancements that just might characterize the future of the web. Google re-invented email in 2004, with the release of the highly touted, Gmail which featured unprecedented spam filtering and an unheard of storage capacity that allowed users to "archive" read mail, rather than permanently deleting it.

Google Presentation is currently without some key ingredients that PowerPoint offers, such as sound, video, and animations, but remember, this is a web-based application, and it's free. Google Presentation is ideal for users who want to quickly create a presentation that will be readily available at any computer with web access. Google Presentation can also be a key tool for Macintosh users who's 30-day trial of Keynote (Macintosh's presentation software) has expired.

While still reveling in the success of the iPod, their new product the iPhone, keeps the company competitive in a lucrative, ultra fast growing and ever changing industry. The company began directly selling the iPhone June 29. iPhone seekers can also purchase the phone through AT&T. Apple's main offices are located in Cupertino, California. The company's last fiscal year grossed a whopping 19.3 billion dollars. The company incorporated in 1977 as Apple Computers. In January of this year, the company dropped the word "Computer" from their flame and simply became Apple Inc. The iPhone combines multiple uses in one unit. The cellular phone allows users to snap pictures, listen to music, send and receive both e-mails and visual voicemails. The phone also enables users to browse the internet. Unlike most cellular phones, the phone uses a virtual touch screen. Currently, the 8-Gigabyte iPhone sells for almost $400 dollars. The initial 8 GB iPhone dinged consumers $600 dollars, although it did not discourage scores of eager consumers from waiting in long lines. As a reward to it loyal buyers, the company credited $100 those who bought it for its original price. The company dropped the 4 GB version earlier this month. AT&T will continue to exclusively sell the phone until 2009 or later. AT&T offers the phone to customers with a minimum two-year contract. During September and following months, the phone ships out to foreign countries such as Germany and France. As in any industry, the iPhone faces fierce competition. Other j companies have r eal-j ized the profit capa- J bility of such a phone I and have jumped i ntoj the market to contend ! with Apple.

Anyway... obviously, these rankings will give power to the people and we can topple some crap professors. Yeah. Right. Now all we need is a Facebook group to make the revolution official. *actual quote BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Ten out of ten college students (I actually just asked two guys in an elevator and multiplied by five) agree that college would be perfect if it weren't for classes. They put a damper on all the drinking binges and wild orgies my grandmother fears. So, let's discuss. There are different types of classes involved in ruining the university experience, which I divide by f rustration level. I like to evaluate them from one to three "You Can't Be Serious's." Let's go through two of my classes and grade them, so then you can do it to yours. MUSC 120: After three years of college, being forced to take an intro class angered me. I may or may not have turned bright green and ripped my clothes yelling, "TORIA ANGRY." On the first day, my professor, who reminds me of a kindly muppet, informs us that there won't be a midterm or final. I suddenly fear he's going to make us all hold hands and Kumbayah it up. In addition, I'm sure there are plenty of good people in the class, but I sat next to the one drawing the naked woman with cartoon breasts. Schmuck.

But that was last year and this is this year. For a larger variety of predictions I am going to tell you all about both Tim Moore's and mine, followed* by my results of simulating 25 seasons on NHL 08. The first thing I am going to talk about is the President Trophy, which goes to the team with the most points at the end of the regular season. I believe that the Detroit Red Wings are going to walk into the post season with home ice advantage throughout the playoffs because they are in the weakest division in hockey. They get to face a deflated Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets. Tim Moore lias both the Buffalo Sabres and Anaheim Ducks on top of their conferences while NHL 08 had the Sabres win the trophy ten times. The Hart Trophy goes to the leagues MVP, which I feel is going to go to the same guy who won it last year, Sidney Crosby. The 20 year old Crosby put the Pittsburgh Penguins on his shoulders and carried them into the playoffs and will be doing it again. Moore believes that Tampa Bay Lightening's Vincent Lecavalier will be the leagues MVP, while NHL 08 had Atlanta Thrashers Ilya Kovalchuk winning it eight times. The Art Ross Trophy goes to the player with the most points at the end of the season. Moore and I are on the same page with this, believing that Crosby is going to runaway with the award. I feel that Crosby is going to hit the 125 mark this year with Evgeni Malkin playing on the same line with him. NHL 08 believes that Kovalchuk is going to win this award with 103 points. The Vezina goes to the top goaltender and I feel that Roberto Luongo will take this award over the NHL 08's choice of Martin Brodeur. Brodeur lost some talented players in front of him and will need to carry the New Jersey Devils in order for them to have a good season. Moore says that the award will be going to Dominik Hasek who is coming back after a great year in Detroit. But the big predictions come for the playoffs. I believe that the Ducks are going to be a much stronger team come playoff time once, yes I said once because they are coming back, Teemu Selanne.and Scott Niedermayer come back. They will be winning the Stanley Cup over the Philadelphia Flyers in 4 games. The Flyers will have room to add Peter Forsberg or some other veteran talent at the trade deadline and make a strong run in the playoffs. Moore has the Penguins winning the cup over the Red Wings, while NHL 08 has the Sabres winning the cup over the San Jose Sharks in 5 games.

Business Major HPvHpl QHBHhI �A&E THE PRIDE Tuesday; September 25, 2007 Old Viscosity Ale Jiallapxeinios BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Port Brewing brews Old Viscosity Ale in San Marcos, California. Cougars are fortunate to be associated with such a fine microbrewery. The brewery began in 1992 when Yince and Gina Marsaglia began brewing in their home. In 1993 the couple began brewing on a seven barrel system in Solana Beach. Eventually, the brewery expanded their operations to Carlsbad and San Clemente. In early 2006, the brewery purchased Stone Brewing's old facility, another local brewery in San Marcos, and increased their production for distribution purposes. Currently, the brewery can produce up to 5*000 barrels. They also have an oak barrel room for aged specialty beers such as Old Viscosity Ale. The ale's nickname, "The Big Black Nasty", sums up the distinct characteristics. The dark brown tinted 22-ounce glass bottle contains a blue and faint gray colored label. The label contains a picture of an antique truck being serviced by a faceless man. A shiny silvery cap bottles the ale with an alcohol by volume of 10 percent, twice the amount of an average beer. The strong ABV should be taken into consideration during consumption, i.e., sitting down on a chair, maybe even in a padded room. The ale has a powerful and distinguishing fragrance. The brain struggles to categorize the aroma with any learned scents in the brain's database. It almost has a sour berry smell. The beer pours with a solid two inch thick head. The ale appears to have a blood red brownish hue as the contents are emptied from the bottle to a glass. Before the ale even reaches the lips, the tongue cringes in disbelief. The ale assaults the taste buds and then infiltrates the tongue with intense flavor. The ale contains hints of chocolate and vanilla. The thick ale leaves a notable prickling sensation on the tongue. The strong ABV warms the throat as the ale passes through the mouth and into the stomach. Beer connoisseurs should enjoy the beer. Inexperienced beer consumers are forewarned. -Regardless of beer knowledge, Old Viscosity ensures a wild and thrilling ride.

METAL Silent Treatment The Bled BY TIM MOORE • Images courtesy of Sub Pop, Lyric Street and Vagrant Records The Arizona post-hardcore band is hoping to please fans with a heavier sound reminiscent of their first fulllength album, "Pass the Flask." The Bled's most anticipated release to date promises powerful vocals and heavy guitar riffs. BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer A source of heated regional debate in San Diego, the matter of the best Mexican food place is as divisive as it is controversial. Everybody wants to believe they know where to find the best California Burrito, but like other touchy issues, not much room for compromise exists. Located off of Carmel Mountain Road in Rancho Bernardo, Jalapenos deserves nothing less than eternal praise as the "Mecca" of the California Burrito. Although the journey to Rancho Bernardo is long and arduous, this pilgrimage is an absolute necessity for any true California Burrito connoisseur. While most San Diegans are biologically equipped to handle Mexican food with little discomfort, the average eater, native or foreign, faces life-threatening challenges when eating at the run-of-the-mill taco shop. Fortunately for the maladapted, Jalapenos cooks their food with vegetable oil instead of lard, allowing the stomach to greet the California Burrito with peaceful adoration. The Burrito (yes, it needs to be capitalized) itself represents the pinnacle of Burrito craftsmanship. Off the menu, the Jalapeflos California Burrito includes your standard carne asada, fries, cheese, and guacamole, but I suggest holding the guacamole as it does tend to overwhelm the other vital flavors in the burrito here. From the excellent array of salsas you may want to go with the simple red hot sauce. Unlike the harsh and unforgiving hot sauce of most other taco shops, Jalapenos provides their customer with a smooth and balanced blend of flavor and spice that complements a California Burrito unlike any other salsa to date. When ready, the composed and neat exterior of the burrito deceives the eager customer, who at this point is completely unaware of the chaotic splendor within. The first bite breaches the calm exterior and unleashes torrents of incredible flavors. In a daze, the remainder of the burrito quickly disappears, the final bite as glorious as the first. In such a volatile and competitive field, the search for the best Cali Burrito is unending. The California Burrito at Jalapenos may not be the best; I just haven't found a better one yet. H ALO 3: THE ONE RING T O RULE THEM A LL BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer It has many names to it - the killer-app, the epic saga, or the best 15 seconds in video gaming. It only takes one word for people to weigh in exactly what the title means - amazing. The third and final installment of the gaming saga that is Halo for the Xbox 360 hit shelves at midnight at various retailers across the nation. Many people lined up outside Gamestops and EB Games as early as 9 o'clock to be among the first to get their copies. "Halo 3 is much more than a video game release—it's the biggest entertainment event of the year," said Peter Moore, the former vice president for Microsoft gaming and interactive division. As part of the promotion for the game, Pontiac and Microsoft teamed up to give gamers a chance to play the game in San Francisco and New York on IMAX screens earlier this month. Participants received copies of the game prior to its launch date. The story of Halo centers around Master Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN117, or Master Chief for short, and the war between the United Nations Space Command and an alien army called the Covenant. In the climax of the previous installment, Master Chief has stowed away aboard a Covenant vessel that is headed for earth, which sets up the final chapter. Halo is this generation's touchstone for pop culture in the same way that Star Wars and Lord of the Rings has for earlier generations. Earlier this past summer, a few gamers were treated to an online beta test to give a glimpse of what people will be in store for - Mongoose ATVs, new multi-player maps, and character remodels. Some of the other new additions included will be bigger, badder weapons, bubble shields, 8 new vehicles, an equipment Forge system, 4-player co-op campaigns, new levels, and a high-definition 1080p output to name a few. In 2004, the launch of Halo 2 sold over two million copies on its first 24 hours generating roughly $125 million in revenue. Pundits have expected that number to rise to over $200 million due to the three editions that were made available to consumers ranging anywhere from $59.99 to $129.99. m 1 il ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡i •Ji t t ^ •' S« 11 ¡11 A % i iiili M M ^smm m 1 i___ l __ _ - \ Image courtesy ofMicrosoft �Transformers: Pitting tla "OH SX6# YEAH" in BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer I knew things were going to go well when an adorable little usher said, "Please DO NOT ask us to turn down the sound, because we CAN NOT. This is IMAX." Well, alright then. I lost faith in the first 30 seconds, with a smarmy premise that actually includes a deep male voice saying, "But we were already too late." You expect him to say, "DOT DOT DOT," just in case the audience didn't get the suspense. But then something amazing happened. Asteroid-type objects started hurtling across the screen and the theater started shaking from the sound. Within three minutes, it blew my mind. I'll give you an overview of the movie and then we can talk significantly more about IMAX, which was the important part. The kid from Even Stevens on the Disney Channel is all grown up, gets his first car, and then finds himself embroiled in a robotic civil war from outer space which has finally spread to Earth. It involves a chase with a police car and a Camero, which I never thought I would see outside of the 1980s, and lines like, "It's you and me, Megatron." There's also a totally unrealistic hot blonde systems analyst. Every 15 year old boy in the audience was like, "HEY! She's wearing a mesh shirt!" I found myself at several points humming, "Hiiiiighway to the DANGER ZONE" since that was just about the only thing missing from the cheesy writing and crap soundtrack. But man, I would see it a second time and maybe even a third time just for the special effect^. I thought everyone was joking about the beauty of IMAX, but there were Fall TV line-up honestly moments that I felt like I was running for my life with the characters orflying in the Air Forcé. Tlfo pomt of view flying scenes were unbelievable, and the part at the beginning with the base and the.. .well, you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. Suffice to say, the movie won't be winning any Academy Awards, but that's not the film's purpose. It can be summed up best in the words of the friend who accompanied me, "Dude, that was amazing. But if I had written it, I would have just had them credit me as 'Anonymous.'" Entertainment outside of school BYJACLYNCARBAJAL! Pride Staff Writer If you're a college student, fall is about one thing: the fall semester. Life f or the next few months takes a sideline to homework, essays, classes and reading» Between your busy schedule, it would be nice to see a few good shows here and there, right? If you're like us, getting into a new show is a commitment for an entire season, maybe even a whole series. To save you from wasting your time on a show that gets canceled midseason or you get tired of, we've taken the liberty of assigning a guide for the average student. ÜH ¡I teil v Ib»r i # # ## 9 P.M. - Heroes Mondays are never fun, but the show that makes them a bit more enjoyable is back. The second season began Monday, but one episode shouldn't set you back too far, considering the network promises a whole new adventure. The show is a modern take on the Marvel comics of yesterday and the cast is hot. 9 P.M. • Scrubs We were going to recommend The Office but I wanted to give Scrubs a shout out as well. Then I thought, why not both. The Office starts at 9 pm and Scrubs immediately follows I # 10 P.M. - Journeyman And a new one from NBC right afterwards, if you don't want to touch the remote after Heroes. A little bit mystery, little sci-fi, half a tablespoon of romance, and you have a show about a journalist who keeps getting sucked into the past and changing the things he finds there. But why?!? Hopefully, it doesn't get canceled before we find out. at 9:30 prir both shows are hilarious, consist of a relatively young cast and don't consist of a hard to follow plot line, which is always good if you can't commit to every episode, every week. Images courtesy ofNBC, ABC, CBS and Fox networks. 9 P.M. - House It's Tuesday. You're already asking if it's Friday and you find yourself more and more sarcastic. This returning hit series is just what the doctor ordered. It's dry. It's edge. It's completely different than any of the other doctor dramas on primetime. In addition, new cast members left and right should keep even followers of the show on their toes. 9 P.M. Moonlight This has the potential to be a disaster. Hot guy is a vampire and a private investigator (Angel, anyone?). We think it probably has a 50/50 chance of getting canceled, but...what if it turns out to be really good? 10 P.M.-Cane After your homework break between 9 and 10, return to the screen for a family drama with more than a few twists. The Duque family runs a rum and sugar business and fights against outsiders and each other to keep it solvent. Featuring Hector Elizondo, Rita Moreno and Jimmy Smits - the show should be incredible. Women's Murder Club We should put both these shows in those inflatable sumo suits and make them wrestle. Unlike Moonlight, this show has some tried and true TV actresses, well, solving murders. It's also based on a best selling book series. Unless the.network hires dry witless writers, we think this one could be around a while. 8 P.M. - Pushing Daisies Three days into the week. You're procrastinating. You come across a show you've never heard of, Pushing Daisies. Set to begin October 3rd, it's one of the critically acclaimed shows of the season. It's about a guy who can bring back the dead momentarily with the touch of his hand. It sounds interesting enough to give it a chance. 9 P.M. Desperate Housewives Sunday night is a saving grace to anybody who enjoys the drama f of Wisteria Lane. If you haven't ' watched an episode of Desperate Housewives yet, it isn't too late to get started. The show is full of scandal, sex, mystery and satirical humor. Girls love it and 9P.M. With Bionic Woman, another critic's darling, and Private Practice, the offshoot in what will soon become a Grey's Anatomy empire, you're going to have to pick for yourself. 10 P.M.-Dirty Sexy Money The name alone should draw you in. But in addition, it's got an awesome cast, and a bunch of rich people trying to get away with doing whatever they want and failing at it. so do guys; Trust us. We know a few who've been brave enough to give it a siftt. While this is by no means a complete list, and you may choose to follow your own crazy desire, we here at the Pride have given you a TV jumpingoff point. Now go watch, grasshopper. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As a result, Chancellor Reed plans to pitch the proposed compensation increase on the basis of data f rom a private firm that the Chancellor's office commissioned to study salary comparisons. However, issues with the reliability and credibility of his proposal may provide a dilemma for the Board of Trustees. Traditionally, CPEC conducted studies on executive and faculty salaries with the support of the CSU, UC, and various government agencies. While CPEC continues to conduct faculty salary studies, it recently halted its studies on executive salaries in response to self-evaluations that suggest the methodology in their studies is outdated and incomplete. In a report released in March 2007, CPEC concluded that executive salary studies were substantially incomplete because they could not "obtain perquisite and benefit information f rom the [CSU and UC] systems."

Cross country at Aztec Invitational BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer Photo by David Church / The Pride CSUSM cross country runners Patrick Fitzgerald and Kyle Fox at the Aztec Invitational Saturday, Sept. 15. The CSUSM Cross Country Cougars competed in the 63rd Annual Aztec Invitational at Balboa Park on Saturday, Sept. 15. The runners were up to the challenge as they were r unning the toughest course they would compete in this season. "This course is much harder than last week," said Coach Steve Scott. "This course makes last week's course look relatively flat." But the women's team was up for the challenge. Last year, the women's team had two members cross the finish line under 20 minutes. This year the wom- en's team put six across. Morgan Sjorgren led the team with an 18:51 and finished 23rd overall -1:03 ahead of last year's time. Jessica Sandoval finished 32nd with a time of 19:04. Sandoval was followed by Whitney Patton with a time of 19:08 and finished 35th. Joy Leon went on to r un a 19:30 and finished 45th, while teammate Kristen Simek finished the scoring with a time of 19:41. Lindsey McKown finished three seconds under the 20 minute mark. "Despite the women's team finishing 8th overall and the men finishing 6th, the women's team had a better day overall," said Scott.

Lisa Dickenson, coordinator at the CSUSM Fitness and Wellness Center, spoke for the event giving students tips on how to eat healthy on a budget. Dickenson suggests that students shop together with roommates to help ease the budget pain. She also encourages reducing serving portions. Saving time and money by planning meals for the week makes healthy eating much easier. An important part of healthy eating involves shopping wisely, which means finding the right store for your preferences that can save you money on the items that you enjoy. Dickenson advises that a balance between density verses quantity is also key, as density in a meal will stabilize blood sugar throughout the day. THE PRIDE tially move up the pay grade from week.

All of this work will culminate this week into what most know as "Rush Week". Formally known as "Recruitment" here on campus, September 17-21 marks a week in which all of the Sororities and Fraternities on campus plan to host events designed to introduce students to their respective groups and Greek life as a whole. It is the policy of CSUSM that students must complete 12 college units in order to "rush" a fraternity or sorority. For those interested and eligible to participate, students must fill out a registration form, which is available on the CSUSM website and at the Student Life and Leadership office. weekly cm Tiiesdays durtog I academic Distrib**I | i | l actates ¡ I of CSUSM cai8pU&\ I | j j j j j j ; j ^ 8/30-9/1/07 GREEK I H R A S&; Alpha Xi Delta will h ava I s N othing S weeter t han a n Alpha X f d essert a nd Mocktail p arty a t t he Prominence Clubhouse A X Q : Alpha Chi Omega will hold A TI2: : Alpha Pi Sigma will host All-Stars" Wednes« d ay S epi T M p m a t «he Clarfce Field H ouse Z B T : Z èta B eta Tay wIB h ost "Movie Night wKh t he Brothers* o n S eptember 2 0^ a t ? p .m. a t t he P ronv i nence Movie T heater, its "Alpha Chi Chanel" on September 2 A E : S igma Alpha Epsiion will 19th from 6-7:70 p.m. at 749 Avenida h ost i ts "True g entleman* E vent Codornte in San Marcos.

The Chargers hoped to c arry the momentum across the country to New England, where they faced a Patriots team in the midst of a sideline spying scandal that put them back $250,000 and took away what will likely be a first round d raft pick. The Patriots, anchored by star Quarterback, Tom Brady, did damage early in the game, when Brady connected with Tight End, Benjamin Watson to take a 7-0 lead on the opening drive. On the first play of the ensuing possession, Chargers Quarterback, Philip Rivers showed early signs of weakness, throwing an interception to Patriots Line Backer, Rosevelt Colvin.

I i �A quick guide inside W ith R ush W eek u nderway, T he P ride h ighlights p articipating G reek o rganizations BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Unless you are already a member of a sorority or fraternity, the whole Greek concept may be as confusing as the symbols that represent them. With rush week upon us, it could be beneficial to learn a little bit about what it means to be Greek. More specifically, what is Greek life on campus all about? Most sororities and fraternities are national organizations that consist of individual chapters within different schools. The chapters often have an additional name to distinguish their members from the national society. For example, Alpha Chi Omega sisters at Cal State San Marcos are members of the Iota Tau chapter within the national sorority. Cal State San Marcos currently recognizes five Greek chapters. Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Pi Sigma are the three sororities on campus. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau are the two fraternities. "But what do these names mean?" you might ask. If you • don't know about the Greek system already, your opinion about Greek life could rely primarily on commonly fed stereotypes. "It's different at a smaller campus. We are not SDSU. It's more about making friends and helping the community," said Khristina Cook, an Alpha Chi Omega sister. "Being a part of a sorority or fraternity gives you an automatic support system that will do nothing but benefit your time here on campus." Originally founded on October 15,1885, Alpha Chi Omega is one of the oldest and largest sororities in the country. On March 18, 1995, Cal State San Marcos founded the Iota Tau chapter of the national sisterhood. The purpose of Alpha Chi Omega is to provide the advancement of the intellectual, social and moral culture of its members. Their philanthropic cause is to help victims of domestic violence. Hidden Valley House and Casa De Amparo are just a few organizations the Iota Tau sisters contribute to. Some major campus events include the Carnation Carnival and Mr. Alpha Chi. In 1893, ten young women at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois formed Alpha Xi Delta. The sorority's purpose is to inspire women to realize their potential. Alpha Xi Delta founded Theta Rho chapter at Cal State San Marcos in February of 1995. The Alpha Xi Delta philanthropic cause is called Choose Children. "Last week we held a donation based car wash for a 2 year old boy named Tanner with Muscular Dystrophy. Our goal was to reach $1, 000.00 and we did!" said Alpha Xi Delta president, Erin Maddox. "In fact, we even went a little over." Currently, the Theta Rho chapter has 41 members. The sorority encourages its sisters to involve themselves in other activities on campus as well as maintain excellent academic standing. Their rush week begins with a picnic and ends with a jungle theme. Founded on March 10, 1990, at San Diego State University, Alpha Pi Sigma is a relatively Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride CSUSM Greek organizations seek out new recruits as the campus braces for Rush Week. new sorority. It has six chapters in California. Alpha Pi Sigma is Latina based although it is important to note that the sorority is not exclusive to Latinas. Everyone is welcome to join. On campus, there are currently six members which makes rush week an important opportunity for this new chapter to grow. "We look forward on expanding this semester," said Alpha Pi Sigma president, Araceli Archuleta. "During these special events we hope to get to know potential new members." Alpha Pi Sigma's primary philanthropic causes consist of working within the Latino community and breast cancer awareness. They are participating in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk" on October 21st. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the largest fraternity on campus as well as nationally. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has more than 8,200 undergraduates at more than 250 chapters in 48 states. The brotherhood participates in a variety of athletic activities and even finds a way to incorporate a love of sports with an eagerness to help others. The fraternity hosted a dodgeball fundraiser earning $1000 to the Children's Miracle Network. Other philanthropic projects include the Relay for Life Cancer Walk. "We won intramural championships last year in dodgeball and football." Said Sigma Alpha Epsilon president, Shawn McKechnie. This past Thursday, Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) hosted a toga party following the home soccer game. During rush week, SAE will host various events including a co-ed kickball game, poker & barbeque night, and a competition night of air hockey, darts, pool, and video games. The newest chapter to Cal State San Marcos is Zeta Beta Tau. While the fraternity is just getting its start here on campus, it has high hopes for the upcoming semester. "What sets us apart is that we are a non-pledging fraternity." Said vice president, Brandon Jakobovich. Nationally, Zeta Beta Tau is the oldest and largest historically Jewish fraternity. Philanthropic projects the fraternity participates in are CHOC walk, car wash fundraisers, and blood drives. Zeta Beta Tau prides itself on providing a safe environment for its brothers that focuses on academic excellence as well as a positive social network. Each Greek chapter offers something different to Cal State San Marcos but they all share a common theme: unity. The terms "sorority" and "fraternity" derive from Latin words meaning "sister" and "brother." For any students looking for life long bonds and a place to belong, becoming Greek may just be the right way to go—no chromosomal adjustment necessary.

Since the majority of transfer students do not live on campus, belonging to a club or school organization is one of the best ways to meet new people. One organization that stood out to Lawler was the O Team. "I did something similar to it in high school and really enjoyed it," she said. No matter how each student ended up at CSUSM, everyone has the same common goal: graduation. And for transfer students, that is definitely something to smile about. " That's the best part about being able to transfer to a university out of community college," said Martinez. "It doesn't matter where you came f rom as long as you graduate." The best way to feel comfortable in a new surrounding is also the easiest. Simply t urn to the person sitting next to you and introduce yourself.

Church's Influence on Sports The "juice" is back BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer This past Sunday, Sept. 16, O.J. "The Juice" Simpson was arrested once again. This time he was caught trying to steal memorabilia from a hotel room in Las Vegas. O.J. is now facing three felony charges, one of which is robbery. Once again, O.J. finds himself in tough times as he faces a serious charge. These charges are nothing like the double murder charges he faced in 1995 when he was found not guilty despite a large amount of evidence against him. O.J. is going to have a tougher time defending himself, as the "if the glove don't fit, you must acquit" line won't be working this time. The evidence is already looking bad for O. J., as there is audio with his voice already being identified by experts. Also the eyewitnesses whom he was trying to accuse of stealing his stuff and selling it, have already described O.J. and his men coming into the room with guns not letting anyone out of the room. O.J. will not get the benefit of having a trial in his home territory of Los Angeles, where he played his entire college football career for USC as well as made several Top Gun movies playing the brain-dead character Nordberg. My question is, was O.J. really acting? He obviously has no sense of integrity as he allowed someone to brainwash him into thinking that someone had stolen his stuff. Which police have said he owned at one point, but most likely did not own at that time. This is also the guy who has filed bankruptcy and has seen his name put into shame as he is no longer remembered as the great football player he was. He is now known as the guy who tried to sell his book, "If I Did It" and escaped a double murder charge. Since he had tried to sell the book, he has loss the rights to it because ofhis bankruptcy. The rights were then handed over to the Goldman family who renamed it, "If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer." They released the book last week and plenty of senseless readers have purchased the book making it the #1 book on Amazon. Still this arrest comes too late for the Goldman family and the Brown family. Where they might get the benefit by receiving a good sum of money for publishing the book written by O.J, they still do not have any justice from their sons death. As for O.J., he does rfbt have the money he once had, although I do not think that will stop him from getting someone from Johnnie Cochran's team to try to get him off if not another expert who will tell him to have difficulties putting his finger on the trigger of the gun. I do not see how O.J. is walking out of this one, unless he had a double that was playing the penny slot machines at the MGM Grand and it just so happened a security camera caught him at the slot machines at the time of the robbery. But more likely, O.J. is going away for a couple of years.

The performance gave students on campus the opportunity to learn about African American culture through music. Yewande (e-wan-day) Austin, an urban rock artist who has performed in various colleges and universities around the world, introduced students who attended the event to a different view of music. She believes music is about meaning and expression, not just about billboards and fame. This inspired many attendees to think more intensely about changing the way popular culture is leading music. "I am very happy to learn that there are still great artists out there, not just a sell out," said student Gina Rothermel. Students also learned about slavery and its influence in the world of music. Hip hop and the blues are just two examples of the influenced genres. Although popular a long time after slavery ended, there are many ties to slavery in this type of music. According to Austin it all comes from the "Negro Spiritual." "The negro spiritual was a creative way for salves to communicate with each other and express themselves without being punished or killed for doing so," said Austin. This form of communication was passed from generation to generation and each had a new way of doing it. Hip-hop for example is a mixture of jazz, blues, gospel, and earlier forms of African-American music. Not only was this event educational, but it was f un. Throughout the show Yewande had the audience singing and clapping. Members of the audience were even brought up front to serve as a temporary chorus for Austin, including the event coordinator Mrs. Shirley Robinson. Austin had everyone amazed with her music and her passion. At the end of the show, the audience was allowed to ask questions and one of the questions, which got all of the audience attention was, why such a talented artist prefers to perform a show to educate students rather than be on billboards and popular talk shows? Austin explained that success is different to everyone. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON The pilsner lager pours Pride Staff Writer smooth with almost no head.

In her case, she always wanted to be a part of educating people and by doing this she is successful in her own way. "You have the power to change the world," she said. Austin's purpose is just that. "The best part of my j ob is the connections I have with people, and being able to be a part of the world of knowledge." There are no words to describe mash like feeling sends thundering strikes of taste to all corners of the mouth. After thefirstsip, the tongue in a state of confusion, politely requests for more.

She is an amazing artist and lecturer. This is definitely an experience everyone deserves to have. Her advice to her public she said is "to embrace life, embrace fear, and rise above challenges". The audience loved her not just because of her talent but because she is sincere and loves what she does. She made it clear that she's into this business because it is what she truly loves doing.

Photo by Toria Savey / The Pride Penny Lane BY BREANNE CAMPOS Pride Staff Writer My job this week was to find a restaurant that would suit students from San Marcos's restaurant that values the dollar while still creating a f un atmosphere for dining. Well, luckily for CSUSM students, I found one. Penny Lane is a Beatles/ London themed restaurant located in San Marcos, right across the street from Restaurant Row. From the university, it isfiveto seven minutes away, depending on traffic and the time of day. The easiest way to get to the restaurant would be to drive, but you can get there by foot. The prices are reasonable, and every entrée on the menu is under $20.00. The staff is very friendly and always caters to your needs. If you go between the hours of 4 p.m. and- 7 p.m. on weekdays, Penny Lane has Happy Hour specials including $2.99 appetizers. They also have Karaoke Night on Tuesday from 7 p.m.10 p.m. Penny lane is open until 2 a.m. everyday, which is perfect for students 21 and older. For the younger crowd, go enjoy dinner with classic rock music as your background. What I have yet to tell you readers is that Penny Lane has wireless internet throughout the restaurant. Which means when fall and winter come around, you can go and have a homemade dinner while studying in a London pub; it could be your own vacation for two hours. Now the tricky question is: "Who would I go with to Penny Lane?" From my experience, I believe it would be best to go with friends. All the tables have a minimum of three seats, and how romantic is it when you have an empty seat at your table? I have done my part to give you, the reader, a sample of what Penny Lane has to offer. So if you want to escape or fly away for the day, what better way then tcfhead off to London to eat and drink at Penny Lane? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Although I should be happy as I was able to watch the Anaheim Ducks hoist the cup at the Honda Center as well as see the San Antonio Spurs win another NBA championship. This was a summer to remember for me in the sports world, but there are things I want to forget. Let me start with Michael Vick who deserves everything that is coming to him. This is the same guy who last year told his brother Marcus to clean up his act and stop getting into trouble. But now, it is big brother who will learn the consequences of disobeying the law, as he faces 2 years in jail and a possible lifetime ban from the NFL that he truly deserves. But what do you expect when you are giving players like Vick, Tank Johnson and Adam "Pacman" Jones millions of dollars. All they know how to do w ith, money is cause headaches for themselves, their families, teams and the sport. On August 7, 2007, Barry Bonds asterisked the record book by passing Hank Aaron to become the all-time homerun leader. Although I don't feel that an asterisk is fully necessary for this record as batters are not the only ones who are juicing. We were reminded about Clay Hensley failing a steroid test in the minor leagues while Bonds was running the bases to his record tying homerun at Petco Park.

Lastly, NBA referee Tim Donaghy found a way to hurt the game a little bit more by admitting to gambling on NBA games he officiated. It will now be up to David Stern to fix the mess that Donaghy has created for him as Donaghy faces 25 years in jail. As for Donaghy, he will have been forgotten by start of the season as their will be talk going on about another NBA player breaking another law or Kobe Bryant holding out on the Lakers because they are not up to Kobe's caliber. But don't get me wrong here, there was more to the summer that is definitely worth mentioning. Like I said earlier, the Ducks won the Cup, the Spurs won the championship and talk about Bonds has finally died down. But the best thing that happened this summer for baseball was the induction to the MLB Hall of Fame for Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., two players who deserved to be in Cooperstown. As for my summer, it was one I will never forget. I spent time with my girlfriend and our families. Made a $100 investment on the Philadelphia Flyers to win the Stanley Cup next year with 100:1 odds and I was also able to improve my golf swing and my handicap. But the one thing I am going to miss about summer is the two months off of doing nothing.

It's hard for me to imagine that over a year and half has past since I passed the reigns of the Pride newspaper over to David Gatley. It seems like only yesterday I was spending all of my spare time in-between classes and after school situating the paper together with what I consider a group of talented writers and designers. Inevitably, the newspaper struggles every year producing stories for the first issue. More recently, the paper also struggles with recruiting staff writers. I cahnot ijtge student^ enough on how important the paper is to the campus. It brings not only information to the stM dent, but it is also the only voice o ftthe students on campus r un by students. There are many options for students to participate" kr the paper that range f rom submitting one article-for the opinion section to writing every week for multifile sections. For m e| I have two main reasons why I think the newspaper was important for my academic career at Cal State San Marcos. First, The Pride was a boost in my academic career. The school newspaper was a burden of love. It took all of my spare time but I was able to see a result of our hard collaborated work every week. The portfolio of work I produced became a tangible product of my time in school. I've displayed it for interviews both in the academic and professional arenas. Coupled with my Literature and Writing degree, which, in my humblest opinion, is the best degree Cal State San Marcos offers, the newspaper really opened up doors for me. My first motivation right after graduation was to apply to law school. I feel that the analytic reasoning skills that are required for an English degree are an essential component for thefieldof law. An English degree requires close reading. This attentive reading has developed my ability to understand texts' implicit and explicit meanings and my ability to generate lucid and convincing writing. Former Pride staffer is attending graduate school at CSUSM. In order t o help with my writing and analytic skills, I signed up to be a staff writer for the student newspaper, The Pride, atCafl State San Marcos. A fter one semester, the advisor a§ked me to become the editor-in-chief based oA my natural ability to lead and comprehend the intricate nature of journalism. Second, the Pride Newspaper helped build relationships at the school that became important in both my personal life, academic, and professional life. I made several good friends at the Pride. Not only did we bond on campus, but we still stay in contact. I still even let Michael Dolan call me on occasion just to be nice. My relations through the Pride helped me land my first job as a writer for a military contract company. Also, my reputation through the newspaper helped me obtain some very eloquent letters of recommendation for law school. The Pride is not for everyone though. I saw a lot of people come and go. It takes hard work and dedication to a quality product. It even drove some of the writers to try a different beer every week. On the plus side, he wrote a great article for each one. As for me, the best experience was management. The ability to get the writers to turn their stories in early and proof read was a true example of my leadership. JoshSandoval Class of 2007 Former Pride columnist now works for the Los Angeles Times. This is an awkward time of the year for me because I've graduated and I'm no longer trying to come up with a column idea for Jock Talk With Josh. I'm not shedding too many tears because I am now living the life I've always wanted and it's due in large part to The Pride/ I now work for the Los Angeles Times, specifically on the Calendar/Entertainment section. That's what brought me to Los Angeles, but another opportunity is keeping me in Lala land. I 'm a writer and co-director on a new comedy TV show called "The Homies Show." The show is part stop animation based on the Homies figurines which have been sold in vending machines for a decade. The other part of the show is hip-hop music videos. Think Beavis & Butthead meets The Simpson's. We're starting out in the top 13 markets like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Miami. If it's successful it will spread to other cities like San Diego. The Pride allowed me to be as creative as I could be. I took the thing I knew the most about, sports, and brought that aspect to the newspaper. It led to the San Diego Union-Tribune which led to the Times, and a TV show. I never figured my knowledge of useless baseball statistics would lead to where I am currently. If there's something you're passionate about you'll never know where it can lead until you're ready to take action. Joining The Pride back in 2003 was the best decision I've ever made. If you're thinking about joining the newspaper, just do it If you have questions about anything feel free to contact me at Joshua.Sandoval@latimes.com and I'm more than willing to help out anyone from CSUSM. It has been over a year and a half since my name has appeared in print at The Pride. Until recently, it had been a while since I'd even stepped foot on CSUSM. But my time at The Pride has stayed with me longer than most of the memories and events of my undergraduate career at Cal State San Marcos. I spent several semesters working for The Pride; first as a reporter, than as ombudsman, and finally as managing editor. And perhaps my favorite of all: I started and maintained the original "Beer of the Week" column at The Pride. Along with all that, during my time at The Pride I had the honor of working alongside some of the greats in the recent history of The Pride including Michael Dolan, Patrick Long, David Gatley, and Jason Encabo. Since graduating and leaving The Pride behind though, a lot has occurred in my life. The beach, concerts, girls, beer, my hammock, parties, more beer, and even a fist fight thrown in for good measure... oh, and work too, have seemingly consumed my life in the void of college and books. Yet since I left The Pride, I've also done one other thing: I've become a writer. In the last year I got a j ob writing press releases, as well as other creative and technical pieces, for a consulting company and a hip-hop artist (imagine that) - all because of the experience I gained at The Pride. I have also taken my creative writing skills to the next level, writing short stories and aiming toward what I hope will one day prove a f ruitful career as a freelance writer. In essence, becoming a writer is what I always wanted, but never seriously pursued before my time at The Pride. Indeed, I owe much to The Pride for helping me achieve my aspirations and helping me gain the experience, knowledge, and confidence to truly pursue a career in writing. The Pride gives those who have the skill and drive to achieve, a means by which to do it, and never has a college campus had a better or easier newspaper to join: all it takes is a little motivation and dedication. Whether you want to pursue journalism, media, cartooning, editorship, layout artistry, or just writing in general, The Pride is an opportunity not to be missed. And at least for me, if nothing else, I still get to tell people about the time I used to write a weekly column about beer. Michael Dolan Class of 2004 Former Pride editor and ombudsman now works as a copy editor/page designer for the San Diego Union-Tribune, Today's Local News. The Pride is a chance for a P ride. Cal State San Marcos student to prove he or she can do something. It is as simple as that. The job market has changed, and companies no longer are interested in rewarding you for your academic achievements. Companies want " somebody who can produce work right awayfOnce you have graduated from college, the stress of finding work really kicks in. You will want to be as prepared as possible and look as marketable as possible when searching for a job. The Pride can do that for you. I spent two years on The Pride staff: one as ombudsman and one as co-editor-in-chief. It was my experience at The Pride that led me directly to my j ob as a copy editor/page designer for the San Diego Union-Tribune and Today's Local News. The degree was a formality when applying for a job J /VÄ you teaJ-^oot/dJo£ skills. Photo ¿y Chad Spìnte in the real world; my experience and my ability to prove that I could produce something of value got me the job. The Pride can give you experience to build on later in your career. You will broaden your view of what is happening on campus, be able to assess information from multiple sources and learn how to function effectively under deadline pressure. All these skills will help you in the real world. By the time you leave Cal State San Marcos, you will want to be able to show a prospective employer you can do something. Come work for The Pride and gain skills that contribute to student life while you are on campus and will help once you have graduated. �about their time at The Pride and life after SarahSpinks Class of 2004 Former Pride staffer works as a tattoo artist at American Tattoo in Bonsall. I remember deciding in the summer of 2003 that I would like to participate on campus more. It seemed that the university continued to over charge its constituents for everything from new editions of standard texts to paying an absurd amount of money to park in a dimly lit dirt lot. Plus, I was just tired of all the conservatism on campus, because the way I saw it that was a detriment to expanding your experiences. My decision was to have my own comic strip in The Pride, and as my previous experiences at Cal State San Marcos had proved, it would not be hard. There would be no competition, no line of students battling it out for the space in print. My suspicions were proved right at the beginning of that fall semester when I not only volunteered for my weekly comic strip contribution, "Emma," but I also became the news editor of the The Pride. The student newspaper, especially my comic strip, became an avenue in which I could air my grievances, point out the everyday life of the average student and question the authority on campus. Every week I had to write my storyline out and then draw the scenes to correspond with it. Some strips were better than others, but I did get better and I completely reconnected with a passion of mine: drawing. I graduated from college and toyed with the idea of writing for a living, but found that I didn't have the fight in me necessary to making this happen. ChadSpinks Class of 2004 Former Pride staffer now works at Today's Local News as a graphic designer. I had a lot ofjobs the year after I graduated. I canvassed with the Democratic National Committee; I took school pictures; and I worked at Starbucks at four in the morning. Then I was approached with an opportunity to work at a tattoo shop again. I knew the pay would be horrible, and the people would be jerks, but I would be able to draw again. And I secretly hoped that by showing off my skill and ability to draw I would be offered a tattoo apprenticeship. My wish came true, but then came the work and I had to tell my family. Let's just say they weren't pleased, and my Grandma expressed her disappointment. That one hurt the most. But all those old people have made a lot of mistakes themselves, and I would never want to make the mistake of doing something that didn't make me happy. Someone once told me, "Going to a j ob you don't like is like being married to someone you don't love." Being an apprentice was one of the more challenging experiences of my life, for many reasons, but I had the fight in me. Drawing makes every- j thing in the world disappear. It is better than any other form of escape I use in my life, and I can never stop learning new things as I draw. The Pride gave me somewhere to put my energy and we worked as a team most of the time. I made some of the existence of cyberspace. It can be erased with the click of a button, never to be remembered. I always would pick up the new issue when it hit the stands — despite all of the errors, asinine arguments and predictable stories about parking and fee hikes. The crude presentation was a part of the charm, but I felt that rather than complain about how crappy the student newspaper was, I decided to join the staff and see if I could help. I found being on the newspaper staff as rewarding as it was challenging. I participated in writing and designing, and created a comic strip called "Beer Nuts." The paper was never perfect, but we all had a sense of satisfaction when somebody would call the office to tell us how bad the paper sucked. We would respond politely with, "Would you like to help? We need enthusiastic and passionate students like yourself to participate." They wouldieither hang up or shyly respond with "No thanks." But.every once in a while, somebody would take you up I still remember the first day of class for The Pride in the fall 2003. It was f ull of students with no journalism experience or newspaper background, but all expressed genuine interest in being a part of the paper. There were no returning students f rom the, previous year's newspaper, and the adviser was new to the school. We were building f rom square one, which made it seem limitless. We slowly accepted roles and volunteered responsibilities. We made it happen. The idea of a student newspaper is integral to having # student voice on campus. In the age of the Internet, people are arguing that newspapers are a thing of the past andTwebsite arid blogs are the wave of the f uturif 1 ^ But Web-based content, will never compare to a tangible, physical newspaper. There is something about hdlding a newspaper and seeing the efforts of the writers, editors and designers pulling together to create a printed product in a form that you can fold up and take with you anywhere. I still have the issue that I was in as a sophomore. A s I sat in Founders Plaza, a student f rom the newspaper s taff asked to take my picture and get a quote f rom me about my thoughts on the Columbine shooting. I was so excited, and to see my picture in print was pretty cool. I felt as though I had made some kind of permanence in the annals of Cal State San Marcos. You will never get that emotion from a 77?, Ptide. provides Web site. I see Web content as a temporary mark of binary code in the soulless a tana^/e. product greatest friendships of my life and worked really hard for very little pay. I could have taken that strength anywhere, but I feel so fortunate that I was able to take it on to something I love so much: being an artist. on the offer. "How can I help?" they would ask. "Do you have a camera? Do you like writing? Take pictures, write stories" That's the beauty of a school paper; if you express interest, you can make it happen. When I heard that The Pride has been under scrutiny and faced with an uncertain future, I felt ashamed that such an important tradition of student life and identity would be threatened. It makes sense though. The student newspaper always has been an outlet for dissenters and outspoken individuals to express concern over how their school is being run. If there is no newspaper, who will be the voice of the students on campus? Student government? In my experience with student government, they are acting under the higher hand of the administration and generally express the voice of the average student who just wants to go to school to for the sake of learning, rather than joining a bunch of clubs and participating in the great student life at Cal State San Marcos. Don't get me wrong, there should be student elections, but the newspaper will always serve as the true voice of the students, grammatical errors and all. I am fortunate to have found a job in the journalism field. I have been working for two years as a page designer for Today's local news. I love being able to be creative everyday and seeing a product that I can hold. I still hear complaints about how bad the paper sucks, but journalist are generally unphased by this and trudge on knowing that the public is more apt to complain than it is to praise. The newspaper industry is in a bad place with many papers going under due to a lack of advertising revenue. It's hard to compete with low overhead Web sites. But like I said before, I have faith in the printed word. A student Web site is not an acceptable comproCSUSM. mise.

Each year summer sets students free for several months of bliss, or at least life without course work for those who decline to attend summer school. With each year of summer birth transcends summer death, a gloomy and unwanted realization of the beginning of another semester. Beach Bum Blonde Ale captures the taste and attitude of a southern Californian summer that many Cougars cherish. Anheuser-Busch began in 1860 and operates from St. Louis, Missouri. Currently, the brewery classifies as the third largest brewing company in the world. The brewery corners the market with their new marketing program titled Seasonal Draught. Seasonal Draught quarterly produces seasonal brews for the masses. The first run of the breweries summer seasonal draught Beach Bum Blonde Summer Ale nets the fish without hurting the dolphins. The cardboard container, carefully holding six 12 fluid ounce bottles, easily pops with flash and excitement through any frosty store refrigeration window. The cardboard container portrays bright yellow sunshine rays descending upon a vivid baby blue colored ocean adorned with lime green textured grass. Summer sun orange decorates the rest of the packaging. A sun kissed, long messy blonde haired Caucasian surfer dude, decked out in an open white and blue flowered Hawaiian styled shirt with red board shorts, sunglasses and puka shells and all, cheerfully holds a yellow and orange surfboard in one hand, and yellow and orange ale in a glass in the other. The scenery depicts a never sun setting sunset. Dark brown accents tint the glass and are labeled with the scene f rom the cardboard container. The yellow bottle cap contains the contents of an ale with an alcohol by volume of 5.4 percent. The ale pours smooth with a mild half inch thick head. The luscious hue of the ale captures a San Diego coast sunset of rich, powerful, amber glistening rays. Sweet and sugary aroma arises from the summery ale. Pale and caramel roasted barley malts which are hopped with imported spices comprise a smooth and f ull bodied refreshing taste. Just enough flavors create a crisp Dubai BY OMAR SAEB Pride Contributor Dubai, City of Endless Possibilities When people mention the United Arab Emirates, it is often overshadowed by the well-known emirate of Dubai. The immense popularity and growth of Dubai as a travel destination has led this small emirate to continue to build record breaking sky-scrappers and entertainment facilities which the world has never before seen. Like much of the Middle East, twenty years ago Dubai was a small emirate in reaction amongst the taste buds. The brewery recommends consuming the ale with barbecue, fish, and or salads. Summer has ended. While the average Cougar can run up to 35 miles per hour, enjoy a stroll at a relaxing 3 miles per hour to the nearest market. Purchase the last remains of summer while it last for the ale will be replaced soon with Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale. City of Endless ^ Possibilities the middle of the desert. Today, Dubai is competing to be the financial center of the Middle East and is home to various attractions in which tourists flock to year around. In late 2008, Dubai is in the process of completing the tallest man made building in the world reaching 168 floors, called Burj Dubai. From the outdoorsy type to the shopaholic, Dubai has it all. When traveling to the Middle East there is always a sense of caution due to the instability of the region, but Dubai is another story. With all the hype about Dubai, I wanted to experience it first hand. A fter spending about three weeks there, I had done everything from indoor snowboarding to a desert safari. I realized that there-are endless possibilities in Dubai. It would be 120 degrees outside and you can go snowboard or ski in the Mall of the Emirates. What is amazing is that for half the day you can snowboard, then go on a dune-bashing safari excursion and explore the vast ancient deserts of the Middle East. The amount of classy hotels and shopping districts is unimaginable. The Mall of the Emirates is the biggest mall in the region in which Ski Dubai is located. Although Dubai is a place filled with unique modern architecture and end- Photos courtesy of Omar Saeb less tourist excitement, be aware of the scorching hot weather that engulfs the region during the summer. Travelers need not worry commercial air conditioners to the rescue! If you are traveling to Dubai make sure to check out various hot spots such as Jumeriah Beach, Sho Cho Lounge and Bar at the Le Meriden Hotel, Dubai Safari's, Ski Dubai, Medinat Jumeriah (city of Jumeriah) Mall as well as Burj Al-Arab Hotel. Burj A1 Arab hotel is the only selfproclaimed seven star hotel in the world. The building in itself is an architectural masterpiece. Many Europeans every year fldck to Dubai as their vacation hot spot, so when you are planning out your next vacation, take look at Dubai and I guarantee you will have the time of your life. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

IntHERnational will become a part of CSUSM next fall, and it will aim to educate students in global issues surrounding the violations of women's human rights. IntHERnational will have a set focus on women without voices and women who are suppressed, abused, murdered or forgotten. Professor Schaffman asked to her class to create a zine. Macias and Schouwe created a zine titled IntHERnational with Barbara Whalen, Randi Leyva and Celeste Lampro. "The assignment was designed to artfully address any women's issues or a topic concerning women," Schouwe and Macias said. The zine focused on women from Afghanistan, Guatemala, Kenya, India and the United States. Each section of the zine informs its readers on women of various regions.

"The importance of having a club like IntHERnational that raises awareness and discussion about women's issues is clear," Schouwe and Macias said. "As IntHERnational relates to greater San Diego, establishing a grassroots connection on campus breeds a more lasting and honest beginning for larger community connections." Schouwe and Macias plan on hosting events including art exhibits and performances by dance and acting groups. In order to help local women and their families, Schouwe and Macias also plan on volunteering with CSUSM students for local nonprofit organizations. "In all honesty, we encourage students, faculty, and any community member to offer suggestions or input as to how we can be most effective as an organization in encouraging people to become more involved in our cause," said Schouwe and Macias. For more information on getting involved with IntHERnational, contact Jennifer Schouwe atschou001@csusm.eduor Alexis Macias at macia005@csusm. edu. Afghanistan section speaks of girls as young as 11 or 12 who have been given away in marriage to repay a debt. The zine also offers information for readers to donate to RAWA, the oldest socio-political organization of Afghan women. The zine also provides information on female genital mutilation in the Maasai community of Kenya. The zine describes how the 5,000 year old practice of removing the entire clitoris and labia is unwanted among women but the practice is the only means of acceptance of women in the community. The zine also features information on women of Guatemala, India and the United States. Following the zine project, each student took part in a performance that included a vigil and an art interpretation of each zine. After the performance, Schouwe and Macias said, "Karen offered her enthusiasm in suggesting we conduct our performance for the entire school. Alexis and I then thought more about the impact our message would have, but on a more lasting level, such as starting a club." an actual weapon loaded with blanks, so there will be noise.

Representatives from a variety of departments, student organizations, and clubs were in attendance, including representatives of the Women's Studies Department, PAN, LGBTA, Triota, and members of ASI. "Without allies like yourselves, none of this would have been possible," said Lissa Lim, co-founder of the Women's Center.

The growing number of students who want an Asian-American course is on the rise. Graduate student Patricia Guevana said to the 60 students and faculty in attendance, "We have studies for women; there are Latino studies and African-American studies, but we do not have a voice for Asian-Americans." Freshman Bryant Vuong said, "Mostly what we know of our culture is from our parents." The meeting brought up issues of language and how this generation of Asian-American students feels that they have lost or are losing their language as well as their culture. Guevana said, "Not many of you have had an opportunity to take an Asian-American class, and if you From P A I N T B A L L , page 1 won the last four, ending up with a 44 record overall."

"It seems unfair that the four of us get credit when really it's been a team effort. We have come far this year. Look at us. This is our family. We are here together. We are here because we all beliçve in the same things," Lim said. Cheyenne Barr gave a solo a-cappella performance of a tune that she wrote to honor several volunteers. The ditty was a spin on the Inez and Charlie Foxx version of "Mockingbird." Barr asked guests to stand as their names popped up in the lyrics. The Women's Center distributed 25 certificates of appreciation to student leaders of CSUSM, along with earth toned t-shirts decorated with the image of the growing tree displaying many of the participant's names. About sixty-five invitations were sent out for the ceremony. A slide show featuring volunteers brought the event to a close on a cheerful note and left participants laughing away at all the good memories they had shared while working together. Out of all the events the Women's Center hosted in the past year, Hoodenpyle said, "The most popular event of the semester was the singer, songwriter Ellis, who is a lesbian performer." Following the slide show, guests were asked to check underneath their seats for a purple ribbon, and winners possessing the ribbons received bonsai trees for a prize. Lim closed her speech with a quote, "Margaret Mead was right when she said, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed that's the only thing that ever has.'" have, it has been somewhere else." With high hopes of gaining support of fellow students, Guevana and fellow students passed a petition around the room to gain signatures in hopes of imposing the importance of courses on Asian-American culture on President Karen Haynes and the rest of the CSUSM community. But having courses placed on the agenda is only a starting point. Students also hope to give future students an opportunity to minor in AsianAmerican studies, and potentially even major in it. But the support of fellow classmates might not be enough to gain these courses. Liberal Studies professor Robert Yamashita said, "We can fill the schedule with as many courses as possible, but we cannot teach AsianAmerican courses if the students don't enroll for them." The professors emphasized the slow procedure that would take place to gain courses and the responsibility of those students who want to register for the classes. "It would be a huge step back for all of us if we were to make an approach at adding courses for Asian-American studies and then have three or four students register for the class. They would then take that course off the schedule and add another course at the time slot and we it would be heavy blow to what we are trying to accomplish today," Yamashita said. With high hopes of achieving a course for next fall, the staff members in attendance were able to get a better of picture of how many students are interested in taking a course on AsianAmerican studies. to improve their overall standing. Paintball is ranked the 3rd most popular extreme sport in the United States with over 10 million participants, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. In the past 20 years, paintball has blossomed from a 'war game' played in the woods to a legitimized tournament sport. "People think we wear camouflage and play pretend war out in the forest... it's nothing like that. We play on a regulation sized field, with rules, penalties, referees, spectators, and media. Tournament style play is fast and fierce," said team member Andrew Craig.

With each proceeding year Cougars paw out more and more money each semester as not only tuition increases but other items such as parking costs increase. Unfortunately, the inflation within the cost of pursuing a higher education does not equal the amount of money Cougars earn. Thus, student loans offer a much-needed band-Aid for the situation. The majority of student loans start with Free Application for Federal Student Aid. FAFSA applications are due before July 2. FAFSA determines eligibility for student loans. Student loans are subsidized and/or unsubsidized. Subsidized loans allow students to take out loans from the federal government without having to pay interest or make payments while attending school at least part-time. Subsidized loans remain interest free and payment free until the student has not attended school at least part-time status within a six-month period. Unsubsidized loans acquire interest and require the student to make monthly payments while attending school. CSUSM requires all first time student loan students to complete two items. First, students must complete Loan Entrance Counseling through the internet. Then students must electronically sign a loan promissory note. Aside from the FAFSA, there are other student loan oppor- UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SERGEANT FIRST ClASS <^FC) WAUD W m Wk - —u Q $77) 7330 CU 2- 1— « 2 Titscthy.W«ud@us4fec. »ray.nul NURSE CORPS~ ADNRNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse trai ning available; CRNA, LTHET.CC.

The Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students PLUS allows parents of dependent-students to take out student loans. Parents qualify for the loan based on a credit check. A monthly payment of at least 50 dollars is required within 60 days of disbursement. The loan amount is due within ten years. The Federal Perkins Loan o ffers a loan primarily for teaching credential students. The loan focuses on certain groups due to limited funding. The loan requires outstanding financial need. Similar to a subsidized l6an, payments are required 9 months a fter the student has stopped attending school with at least part-time status. As long as the student remains in school part-time, the loan remains interest f ree as well. The Cal State San Marcos Spicer loan allows students to take out up to $4,000 in student loans. Also similar to a subsidized loan, students make payments a fter they have stopped attending school parttime within six months. The Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships determines eligibility. The Cal State San Marcos Emergency Loan quickly allows students to take out $500. The loan is interest free. The loan amount is also due at the end of the semester. The loan becomes available two days after processing. Curious or confused Cougars should visit Cougar Central, which is located in the Tukwut courtyard on the third floor of Craven Hall.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Scotland is a country often passed oyer in lieu of its cousin, Ireland. But for the life of me I cannot understand why. It is a land of hauntingly beautiful landscapes, friendly peoples and amazing history. Vast mountain ranges scrape the ceiling of billowing clouds and the sparkling Lochs and rivers burst with life. Indeed, there is such an amazing expanse of unspoiled countryside just waiting to be explored. Scotland holds a host of relics and secrets and it is not uncommon for a visitor to stumble upon such forgotten and hidden treasures, be it the ruins of a castle, ancient Celtic carvings or rare spectacular wildlife- such as the secretive sea otter or pine martin. Scotland is a land of contradiction - of warriors and artists, peace and chaos; and she has something to offer everyone. From the outdoor enthusiast, the gastronomy or the history buff - she has it all. For me, on a trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh; the image of a red, twelve-pointer stage thundering alongside an old steam train, dragon-like with clouds of steamy breath hitting the cool highland air is firmly imprinted into my brain. In case you didn't realize it yet - 1 love Scotland; it is the land of my birth, and my home. As an unofficial ambassador to my homeland, I often hear the plans of future tourists and, more often than not, they present such an unrealistic itinerary that I cringe - yes it is a small country but do not be fooled! We have some of the wildest terrain imaginable and the canny traveler must be prepared for amazingly winding roads, this also means that a longer amount of time must be factored into a journey through a mountain range, along with other considerations, such as holdups caused by free ranging livestock and inclement weather. In fact, stormy weather may descend at a moments notice and the winds and rain can carry with them the same fervor as the magnificent landscape itself. All of that information digested, the next thing to realize is that there are different and distinct cultures in Scotland, a major divider being the highlands and the lowlands respectively. Needless to say, there is a vastly different experience to be gained from time spent in either of these regions. A trip to the constantly mispronounced Capital city of Edinburgh is a must. The correct pronunciation is Edin-bur-UHH, as in 'huh'. It is NOT EdinBURG (so please do not call it that!). Apart from the Castle, which contains the crown jewels, there are so many places to explore in the city, far too many to list here! Other cities worth a peek aré Glasgow, for its amazing nightlife and art; St. Andrews - the birthplace of golf, Fort William with rugged Glencoe nearby and the highest mountain in the highlands — Ben Nevis. Inverness with its close proximity to Loch Ness and Dingwall, has so many highland attractions within easy reach. An often missed region of Scotland is the Trossachs; this is Rob Roy Macgregór country and it encompasses the stunning Loch Lomond, the tranquil village of Balquhidder and breathtaking countryside. Stirling, a really underappreciated city in my opinion, is nearby and it is here that you will find the Wallace monument. It contains exhibits, a spectacular panoramic view from the top of the monument and the huge sword of Wallace himself! Getting to the mainland however is mandatory to fully appreciate the culture of Scotland as her scores of islands have different stories to tell. So next time you are thinking of heading overseas, consider Scotland, not only Ireland! Just make sure you allocated enough time and try to visit the Highland and Islands too, for a real taste of life there, why not visit all the distilleries - become a genuine whisky connoisseur! Such a trip to Scotland will reveal that there is much more than bagpipes, kilts, haggis and 'Braveheart' to enjoy...want a real surprise? - Visit the lovely village of Plockton - we have naturally growing palm trees there! But don't just take my word for i t... �Jock Talk With Josh: Sinning off BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer When I was in 8th grade I went on a field trip t o CSUSM. I don't remember what for. That was back in 1999 when I was 13 years old. I remember standing at the top of the stairs that lead t o Science Hall, j ust watching the students walk around campus. I remember at the end of the day saying I wasn't interested in going t o that University. It didn't have sports. I remember a Saturday in April of 2003 when I came to CSUSM to take my placement tests. I was mad because I was missing the opening of the NBA playoffs. I remember a day in Summer 2003 when I had orientation and signed up for Fall 2003 courses. I remember sitting in Arts 240, wondering how this group of people called the O-Team could be so damn happy at 8AM. I remember the tour around campus. I remember arriving at Commons 201, just past die ASI offices, above the University store, and t o the l eft of the elevator. The guide said this was where the student newspaper had its office. It seemed like he was looking directly at me when he said t hat I remember the first Tuesday of Spring 2004. It was 5PM and I was waiting in the hallway of 2007 University Hall to attend my first newspaper class. I remember these two women introducing themselves, asking why I was interested in the newspaper. I remember saying, " I want t o be a sports journalist when I grow up? One of those women was Sarah Carlin. I remember her calling me on Wednesday February 11th, telling me t o come t o campus. She asked i f l wanted t o write a sports column every week. I asked what we would call i t I remember Michael Dolan, the Ombudsman and future editor-in-chief, sitting in a chair, helping u s come up with a title. Sarah thought up "Jock Talk," and I added "With Josh." I remember Tuesday February 17th, 2004 when the first "Jock Talk With Josh" came o ut It was about the dangers of ephedra based drugs and how they were affecting the world of sports. Since I'm graduating this semester, this is the final "Jock Talk." I have learned and experienced so much because of this column. This helped turn me into a working journalist with the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on April 29th 2004. It gave me a voice to influence. If l wanted to talk about something, I wrote it here. I 'll never forget when a current staff writer told me she joined the paper because of the article I wrote in opposition t o the University Hour. This also got me into a lot of trouble. I got my share of hate mail when I lambasted the Winter Olympics and when I commented on the media's hypocrisy in the Michael Richards incident When my picture first accompanied the column, April 13th 2004, I found out that people actually read this. To this day I 'm still shocked when someone tells me they read this. Earlier this semester on a Friday night I was at a restaurant in Solana Beach when a woman came up to me, asking if I was Josh Sandoval. I didn't know her, and was wondering how she knew me. She told me she loves my column and reads it every week. It meant a lot t o me any time someone came up t o me on campus and told me they read this. I could fill this final column with just names of people and places that meant something to me, so here are a few. I've worked with three faculty advisors: Jennifer Woodring, Anthony Hurst, and Joan Anderson. I've worked in three newspaper rooms: Commons 201, ACD 301, and Craven 3500. I've worked with five editorin-chiefs: Elizabeth Baldwin, Jon Rodley, Michael Dolan, Patrick B. Long, and David Galley. I also have t o mention Jason Encabo, the current Managing Editor and future editor-in-chief, because I've been on the paper with him the longest There wasn't a Sports section until my column came around. My dream came true this year when my column got pushed t o the Opinion section because others joined t o cover sports. Thank you Jeremy Albers, Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, David Church, Richard Esperti and Kyle Trembley. I'm going t o miss this newspaper. I invested four years and 90 columns, so I know I 'll shed a tear in F ait2007 when this is no longer part of my life. I don't know where I 'll be in 10 years. I could be a sports writer, an MLB General Manager, a national radio host, or a best selling author. Who the heck knows? One thing I do know is I have this column t o thank for getting me started. For the last time, comments can be sent to me at Sando026@csusm.edu and the paper at jnide@csusm.edu. •Siili Mmbriit'htesä I« I^^HBHB nimonitnisaal BBaBPWgBSBi^iaiigieaveiyiD •MMMÉDL • IR • Xj S M MAROOS W « t ( 7 6 0 ) 5 1 0 - 1 9 9 7 Santa F«Rd.

He's got a knack for cracking us up and a taste for music that's won him a Grammy. He's got a dog named Roscoe, and in his spare time, he likes to hang out with his Mends, watch movies and read. In his fourth film, "The Ex," B raff plays Tom Reilly, a character struggling t o call a handicapped person a, shall we say, an asshole? "One of things the movie addresses," Braff said, "is how do you deal with someone who's an asshole, they happened t o b e in a wheelchair, but they're an asshole? You feel so sorry for this guy because he's had to deal with all this adversity in his life, but he's an asshole. This guy's trying to ruin my life, and no one will side with me because everyone feels sorry for him." Directed by Jesse Peretz, "The E x" stars "Arrested Development"'s Jason Bateman as Chip Sanders who is paraplegic and still has a thing for Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet). Sofia, a lawyer, is a new mother and happily married to Tom. When Sofia chooses to become a stay-at-home mom, Tom finds it challenging to step up to the demands of providing for his family, especially when faced with working alongside Bateman's character, Chip. Off camera, the two comedians hammed it up, and according to Braff, Bateman's jokes left him giggling like a schoolgirl. "Mostly it's him making f un of me and laughing at my expense. He's one of those people, he can be making f un of you and you're just cracking up because he's so freakin' funny." Growing up in New Jersey, Braff was exposed to Manhattan's performing art scene early on. He has memories of his parents commuting into Manhattan to see performances at art house theaters well before independent films were the thing to see. At home in New Jersey, B rafFs father would host dinner parties for friends and project 16-millimeter films on the wall. Most of those movies were Woody Allen films. "Even at a young age, before I could possibly understand a Woody Allen movie or anything else, I have memories of my father celebrating the art of movies and filmmaking." The art of filmmaking turned into a dis- cipline for Zach. He graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Film and a minor in Musical Theatre. From there he landed a role in Woody Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mysteries," where Braff said, "If you look at my face closely for the forty five seconds I'm on screen, you'll notice that I looked terrified. I was in a little bit over my head." In 2001, Braff became Dr. John "JD" Dorian on "Scrubs." Next season's future of "Scrubs" is uncertain. "My gut is that it will be on, but it won't be decided until May 15, and particularly which network. It will either be on NBC or ABC." As a writer, director and soundtrack producer for "Garden State," Braff has a thing or two to say about making films for the aspiring film makers. "You can't talk about it," Braff said, "No amount of taking classes or talking about it is going to make any difference. You have to get out there and make films. And I think, really, really Earn 3 credits more info: pricie@csusiiLedu "So my idea is to have all these different artists I really love, from Imogen Heap to Paul Simon to Chris Martin, to write original songs that, in the movie, we'll pretend are her songs and then she'll sing them in the movie. On the soundtrack, the artist who wrote the song will sing the song they wrote. That's my rough concept of an idea and I'm going to see if I can get people to do that." As far as music, Braff is currently into Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson. "I think everyone should go on MySpace. There's this girl Schuyler Fisk. She doesn't have an album out, but you can hear her on MySpace. She is incredible. I think that she's going to be a big talent." And speaking of Myspace, Braff said, "I really love the MySpace thing. For me, it's such a cool invention that you can have a dialogue with your fans."

Anyone with a video camera can go out there and make a video and put it on YouTube. What sets the certain ones apart is someone took the time and wrote a really good script." Although Braff frequently chooses the music for "Scrubs,'* and has won a Grammy for his selection of music for "Garden State," and has directed three music videos, Braff said, "I really don't know anything about music, other than I know what I like. If I can be a catalyst for some amazing musician to help get exposure then I feel honored. I'm sure you've seen an artist in any art form that you love, and you j ust can't believe that no one knows about them." Braff is looking forward to directing "Open Hearts," a dark drama. His excitement for "Open Heart's" soundtrack is already bubbling up. "The lead girl in the ; movie is an aspiring singer," Braff said. m ' I Ä ' JJ . Write for The Pride!

I want to say thanks for doing such an Farewell from the Editor In Chief: David Gatley First off, I had no idea I was graduating at &e onset. of this semester. ; After one spends six years in college the light at the end of the tunnel looks more like a microscopfc, translucent, blurry, mirage more than anything else; seriously, no exaggeration whatsoever. Looking back it occurs to me that this little publication we call The Pride is hard to define. The lack of a college of Journalism and the prevalence of Uterature^id Writing studetrts t end^f make Hie Pride m f e a i^gasa^r and creative writing forum than a being 3^>u {tfa^ to unite the entire campus community and forever capture the spirit of being young. They also let you print stories about sex, alcohol, drugs, rebellion, rock and roll, abortion and anything else controversial, underground and altogether morally sound and righteously awesome ;) ei In all seriousness however, I've been lucky enough to utilize The Pride as a voice of the students, at least those who spoke U p, to take on ««^trovdrsy and concàii ; on campus such as the new Stu* dent Conduct Policy and issues like PedesWan Safety R's real^ reffeshingfÉr s ^ a mwJIiun such newspaper.

BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, May 3, during university hour, the library courtyard was rocked with the sounds of Afro-Cuban drum and music. Paul Huggins, a musician and educator at Yale University since 1969 who has played A froCuban drums for five decades, performed with Agogo, the resident drum and dance ensemble of Palomar College. A fter singing, performers Silfredo La O Vigo and Patrice-ann Mead showed off their dancing skills, while the drum ensemble laid down some contagious beats. Dozens of students gathered to hear the distinctive drum songs and to watch the high-energy dancing. Performers played congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments including a box-shaped drum. They played all during university hour, which is quite a feat considering some drum players played with only their bare hands. As a former percussionist, I can attest that this is truly amazing. Even playing for Photo by Kim Anderson / The Pride Cai State San Marcos students while 10 minutes can make an average drummer's hands numb from all of that drum slapping. At the end, the band had interested students come up and learn how to meringue. Students' skill levels varied from the very beginning stages to those who clearly were not dancing for their first time. It was amazing to see how much f un it was for students to learn and dance. The instructors were both very skillful dancers whose infectious attitudes made learning dancing a joy, and for us observers, entertaining to watch. "It's Beer. Hooray Beer." If you have not already guessed, this week's Beer of the week is Red Stripe. Not only is Red Stripe brewed and bottled in Jamaica but the Ambassador of Jamaica is also the spokesman for Red Stripe. Obviously Jamaica is very proud of their beer, and they have the right to be. Red Stripe is not only a delicious brew, but it also complements Jamaican cuisine. I was digging through my refrigerator hoping to find a home cooked meal when my roommate mentioned he had discovered a new restaurant just down the street. I looked at him and said, "Let's Go." Next thing I know we are pulling up to Jamrock on the 101 in Encinitas. "Jamaican cuisine: this will be a first." But I was in store for much more. When we sat down the first thing I ordered was a Red Stripe. When the waitress returned with our beers in hand I was happy to see that these were no ordinary Red Stripes; these were at least 32 ounces of delicious beer. While I was enjoying the first couple sips of beer, the waitress filled us in on some of the history of Red Stripe. To my surprise Red Stripe is still brewed and bottled in Jamaica. A soda company brewed the first Red Stripe in 1928. Americans first discovered Red Stripe during World War II when some of our troops were sent to Jamaica. But it wasn't until the 1960s, when Jamaica became independent from Britain, that the company could go public and really start producing beer. I enjoyed my Red Stripe with and Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich. It was delicious, and washing it down with Red Stripe finished it off perfectly. "It's beer. Hooray beer."

This time they face what may be their most challenging task yet - finding a new King for Far Far Away after King Harold (shall we pun?) croaks. (Well, he was a frog after all.) Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas return as the incomparable vocal cast. It all began in 1930 with the debut of a teen super-sleuth named Nancy Drew. Conceived by Edward Stratemeyer, whose brainchildren include such well-known favorites as the Bobbsey Twins and the Hardy Boys, the "Nancy Drew" series was published under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene though a number of writers actually worked on the series. In the soon-to-be-released film adaptation, Emma Roberts plays the winsome teen detective who relocates from the fictional town of River Heights to Hollywood, California, and promptly finds a mystery to solve.

T his summer shall b ring many good t hings: the San Diego County Fair, 4th of July celebrations, chlorinated and c affeinated p arties, r oad t rips galore, beach outings and yes, the t op five anticipated CD releases of the summer. I n my opinion, the five releases that w ill be the biggest sellers and receive the most h ype in t he coming weeks are Maroon 5 "It Wont' Be Soon Before Long," H anson " The Walk," Paul McCartney " Memory A lmost F ull," Enrique Iglesias "Insomniac," and R ufus Wainwright "Release t he Stars." W ho can argue with Maroon 5 's latest single, "Makes Me Wonder"? There is n o doubt about it t hat t he guys are back and back with an attitude, along with some seriously slick songs. It w on't b e long before t he album "It Won't Be Soon B efore Long," is in stores May 22. D are I say it—Hanson is m aking a comeback. Though t he brotherly t rio h as b een o ut of t he limelight for quite some t ime now, t he once adolescent " MmmBoppers" are now all grown up. Seeing t hat I w as once a seventh g rade teenie-bopper obsessed w ith t he t hree " Mmm-Boppers," I w as quite s urprised t o h ear about t heir new album " The W alk" being released on 3CG Records May 22. Hanson, having traveled t o South A frica and Mozambique, h as centered t he t heme of t heir new album and single " The Great D ivide" on t he devastating A IDS epidemic in A frica. It would b e h ard for Paul M cCartney t o go wrong on His upcoming release, especially since it is r umored that h e is producing and compiling old audio t racks f rom h is Beatles days to create t he last ever m ade new Beatles song with a little help f rom h is good friend R ingo Starr. " Memory A lmost F ull" is due out J une 5. A h, E nrique Iglesias. We have m issed o ur " hero." E nrique's latest single " Do You K now" is upbeat even t hough its tone b ehind t he lyrics is slightly forlorn.

According to North County Times, fellow student, Lorena, was lost in a fatal collision on April 21, 2007. Saturday shortly after midnight, she was driving with a male friend whose name was not released, west on the 76 highway during the recent rain storm. Barraza's Toyota veered into oncoming traffic and into a Early Learning Center's future questioned BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer CSUSM's Early Learning Center has provided help for the moms and dads on campus for nearly three years and in the fall, the Early Learning Center will move into a new facility, The Center for Children and Families. The ELC was made to fit the needs of children and their parents who are struggling to get along with college life and a family. The ELC offers a place for volunteer students to work and to become close to the children and their families. But now the bonds that have been made between the employees and children and their families might be broken. Since the Early Learning Center is moving into its new building, the current working staff has not been guaranteed a job at the Center for Children and Families. The Center for Children and Families will open early 2007. The center was funded on tax revenue that came from tobacco smokers which was approved by the First 5 Commission. The Center for Children and Families is licensed to serve 190 children from infants to pre-kindergartners. The total number of families served is expected to be 300. Programs will focus on preparing children for success in many areas of school including: parent education, language, speech and literacy development. Mosetta Rodrigues, an employee of the ELC, said that the center will not be run by ASI any longer, but it will be run by the university instead. "The ELC is separate from the organizations on campus," Rodrigues said. "None of the workers are students here with the exception of three paid student assistants. The foundation will oversee the running for children and families. The ELC will no longer be existing; the new place will be subsidized by funding and run by the Cal State." Rodrigues added, "We are not guaranteed our jobs. We are given a proSee E.L.C., page 3 TUESDAY, M AY 1, 2 007 head on collision. Barraza and her passenger were pronounced dead on the scene.

In 2005-2006 she held the position of MEChA Vice President." Barraza was involved with this year's MEChA High School Conference, and in previous years the Cesar E. Chavez Celebration, Raza Recognition, and other fundraisers. Martinez stated, "She currently had plans with VOL. XVII NO. 14 the preparation of the annual Guelaguetza, held at CSUSM. She was everywhere all the time willing to volunteer her time not only with MEChA, but also with other organizations on campus." On Thurs. April 26, students held a candlelight vigil in her memory.

By the fall of 2008, ASI hopes to complete the construction of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex and Ally Center. The center is still in its early stages, but with a recently appointed committee, ASI will examine the LGBTQIA centers on other campuses and look to other models for CSUSM's center. Former ASI President, Roy Lee said, "It has always been a goal for this university to have this center. Whether it be University operated or ASI, the intent, to my knowledge has always been there. As ASI has grown, questions about the third center being started, seeing as the Women's Center and Cross Cultural Center have been established, the goal for this center's construction and formation began. The ASI BOD has voted unanimously to research and strategically open the LGBTQIA Center by 2008." . ASI Arts and Sciences Representative, Joshua Lovelace .and Bryce Manning, President of LGBTA, have been appointed as the co-chairs for the LGBTQIA Center planning committee. "Our job is to create a proposal for the ASI Board of Directors to review and approve," Lovelace said. "This coming Friday w6 are planning to have a brainstorming session. All students are welcome. We will discuss ideas for a mission statement, programming etc. on May 4 and go from there."

S., it's even a smaller percentage, so I want you to get clear of not only the privilege but of the responsibility you have." Rev. Dr. Washington asked each student to partner up with someone he or she did not know. Each student then discussed in partners, how they felt about difference and real conversation about diversity. Rev. Dr. Washington discussed the terms authenticity and honesty and expressed his hope for students to engage in authentic conversation. "Because we all know that we can be honest, without being authentic," he said. When Rev. Dr. Washington asked the crowd what the students' hopes for the evening were, one student said, "I just hope that we don't have to all come together in order for us to open our eyes to say that we need this. Why do we have to come together? Why can't we just do this on our own? Why do we have to come together and say, 'Oh? Yeah, huh.' We should already be doing this." During the next part of the evening, Rev. Dr. Washington asked students to examine the dynamics of his or her own existence. "What does it mean when there's a woman CEO or a woman vice president where there's never been a woman vice president and now all the people who report to her are men? What does that mean? What are the dynamics that show up when that's the difference?" Rev. Dr. Washington asked. When speaking on race, Rev. Dr. Washington said, "How many folks have ever had a conversation with somebody who didn't want to have it? Does that need for that conversation go away? I have been saying in sessions, we've been talking about talking about race for fifty years but we've not had a real conversation about it." In groups of four, students sat in chairs, knee to knee and engaged in conversation with students they had never met prior to the evening. Each student was given five minutes to identify his or herself through: race, religion, nationality, orientation, ability, gender, class and age. Next, each student answered questions stating what category he or she was most conscious of and why. Students also had to tell their peers of a time when he or she treated others less than- because of who they were. Some students found that they could relate to each other in more than one way. Once the session finished, Rev. Dr. Washington divided the room into two sections. Students sat in rows of chairs, facing each other. Rev. Dr. Washington paced back and forth down the middle and told students that if they felt comfortable, he or she could stand when he asked questions students found to be true to him or her, but students were not allowed to speak. In the act of standing up, Rev. Dr. Washington said that by answering to the questions asked, each student would be a representative of a particular group. With some humor, Rev. Dr. Washington shared with the students, "When they see me, they see big black man. One word. Bigblackman. They say, 'Oh! bigblackman!' They say, 'stay far away.' Now I can't control any of that. But it does matter that I know that." Rev. Dr. Washington proceeded, "If you are a first generation college student, please stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said. "Notice who's with you. Notice who's not." At this, each student who stood, scanned the room, and each student who sat, looked up. "If you ever feared for your safety because of your gender please stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said, "Notice who's with you. Notice who's not." Most of the women in the room stood, and most men sat looking up. Some questions spurred more emotional responses than others. From the experience as a whole, Freshman Bill Rhein said that he would "not take anything for granted anymore." Junior Angela Stubbs, said, "I can't understand why everyone couldn't attend and students had to R.S.V.P? You only find this stuff in college. It's symbolic of what our country feels about it. People are talking about it, but they're not really talking about it." The event was co-sponsored by Advisor Academy and Student Affairs Professional Development Team and included representatives of Student Development Services, ASI and University Village. From BARRAZA, page 1 T HE^PRIDg From SPEAKER, page 1 fortune of being on a diverse campus. We have the amazing good fortune of being in a room with folks who don't look like us, who do look like us, who think like us and who don't think like us. Who come from cultures and histories and families and communities that are like ours and they're not like ours, and that's an amazing world to be in. It's the world that we're in, but often we actually don't look at each other and say, I see you, I hear you, and let's learn from each other. You all, are the future. You're my hope. You're why I do what I do. You have an amazing ability to shape the future. And to shape it in a way that sees difference, embraces difference, and works together in a way that we actually create communities where we see and respect each other." This, Blanshan said, was the reason why each person gathered for an evening with Rev. Dr. Jaime Washington. Rev. Dr. Washington began the evening's conversation by speaking on leadership. "Much of the change that has happened around the world has been done by folks who look like you. Student leaders. On college campuses, and in the world. No major social change movement has ever happened without your influence and your power. I want you to recognize the importance of your role as student leaders today." When Rev. Dr. Washington told students that only 16% of citizens in the United States have advanced degrees, he said, "You will go out for the community." Like most 21 year old college students, Lorena's Myspace is filled with pictures, and personal phrases describing herself. Currently, her Myspace page is filled with postings by friends expressing loss, condolences, and grief. Lorena had just celebrated her 21st birthday on April 6 . Celia Martinez shared, "She managed to fit in with everyone even though she was doing her own thing and being herself. She did not need to pretend to be someone else to feel that shefitin. She just did. Although she is gone, those of us who knew her and cared about her can still hear her distinctive voice, laughter in the air. It is still impossible to accept that we will no longer see her walking towards us on campus, or that we will no longer get those silly text messages from her when she thought about us. She reminded all of us...about some important lessons, to take time and appreciate friendships and to remind people of how much they mean to us because you never know when it will be the last time you get to give them a hug or tell them that you love them. We were all given the opportunity to see her one last time the week before she left us, yet none of us knew it would be the last." An account has been opened for the family of Barraza at Bank of America in Redhawk in Temecula.

She was a Xicana, and a Mechista, she chose to spend time with us to give back to the community. She was a beautiful person.

Samara White, a current senior at CSUSM majoring in Visual and Performing Arts, said that since working with the kids and families at the ELC, she has created bonds with all of them. "Professors send kids here and are very pleased with what we have going on. We really teach the kids," White said. When the ELC moves, it will have a great impact on the teachers who work at the ELC because they have gained close bonds with the children. White added, "The teachers go out of their way to be here and do things for the kids. They [the directors in charge] have not asked what we need for the center. It's distressing that they ignored us in the vision for the new center. It's inexcusable. The kids are being transferred up there. The parents don't know anyone up there. How can parents trust people they don't know anything about with their kids? It's a disappointment. You'd think as a Cal State they would want people experienced, who have been here. Some teachers feel forgotten. As a student I'm disappointed with how they neglected staff here. Staff has always had open dialogue with the directors. They have never given us a meeting with them or shown up at our events." A meeting regarding the ELC and the future of its employees will take place on Tues. May 1 at 5 p.m. at the ELC. From CAMPUS READ, page 1 hand. Kite enthusiasts stretch out the string, mold it with glass, and sand it down with sandpaper to smooth it out. When the kites are soaring in the sky they can reach up to three miles high. There are tricks for dipping and wrapping around the opponents' kites in hopes of snapping their string, retrieving their kite, and achieving ultimate bragging rights. Kabir explained that he could wear gloves for kite fighting, but that it ruins all the pleasurefull satisfaction from the sport. As Kabir demonstrated the sharpness of the string, he stated, "These cuts and stitches are from this. Sometimes my hand is bleeding all over. It [the string] is sharp, but strong at the same time." The kites are made by hand with thin paper, and moist bamboo forms into the desired shape. Kabir has been participating in the sport since he was about five years old, and he now owns over 2000 kites. Professors Sherri Douglass and Pamela Strieker collaborated on the event which was in synch with the campus read and a GEL 101 class. Funding was sponsored by the American Democracy Project and the First Year program. Part of ADP's mission is to enhance civic engagement within our campus community, and in the larger community. After the kite flying demonstration, a book discussion was held for the campus read, "The Kite Runner," a story of a young kite fighter in Afghanistan with immense cultural insights. Professor Pamela Strieker responded with her reaction of the event, "I think the book discussion went well and those present learned a great deal about Afghanistan and Afghani culture and they also learned that in the end, we are all not so different from one another." A few copies of the campus read are still available. Contact either Professor Pamela Strieker, at stricker@csusm. edu or the Office of Community Service Learning located in the Faculty Center in Kellogg Library. From LGBTQIA, page 1 Felipe Robinson-Zanartu said, "The committee will visit different centers and see how they were structured so we have an idea of what to look for and what to model it as. That's exactly how we modeled our Women's Center. We didn't start by making stuff up." Felipe said that the center could potentially provide counseling services or offer a place for students to hang out. "It goes with ASI's core value of diversity, bringing in all types of values, opinions, and serving 100 percent of students," RobinsonZanartu said. Lee said, "I see the center being an inclusive and educational venue where students, any student, may come in. In regard to programming, I think the opportunity that lies ahead is the ability to educate our North County San Diego community about these issues and provide any support and ser, vices." When speaking of the LBGTA club on campus, Robinson-Zanartu said, "They're a very big club on campus that's done a lot of programming with Student Life and Leadership. And with the C3 and with ASI's goals of fostering awareness and education and student life. That's what we want to with the LBGTQIA Center." As of now, Robinson-Zanartu said, "We do have a really tight budget. We have no money allocated toward the center." In order to fund the center, ASI will first look outside of CSUSM. To do so, ASI has hired Rodger D'Andreas as an advisor for the LGBTQIA Center. D'Andreas will also serve as the advisor to the Women's Center. "He's going to look for all the different funding possibilities," Robinson-Zanartu. "This will be via grants and from supplemental funding wherever we can find it. But because he's so good at doing that, that's one of the reasons we hired him. We're looking to have it funded from the outside. Then once we have the budget situation under control, then we could have money put into it." With two centers on campus including the Women's Center, the Cross Cultural Center, and the upcoming LGBTQIA Center, ASI recognized the need for representation among an additional slew of clubs and organizations. At a recent board meeting, ASI's Aamara Ysrael introduced a new position— a Social Justice Officer. "He or she is in charge of creating a Multicultural Committee of all different clubs, whether it be the German Club, the French Club, MEChA, we have a whole list of clubs and organizations, to try to incorporate everyone into ASI and have the multicultural perspective," Robinson-Zanartu said. The position of the Social Justice Officer is appointed by ASI President Caitlin Gelrud and must be approved by ASI's Board of Directors. The position is currently open to any student who would be willing to serve CSUSM as the Social Justice Officer. —i UNITED STATES ARMY HEALTH CARE SEROEAKT FIRST C lASS (S3PC) W AUD $ 58) 4 954598~-Wotk # 77) 722-23 l (*-Citt Timothy.W«u<J@us atec.acrmy.mil OT/PT/R NURSE CORPS ADN RNs for Army Reserves Cash bonus Financing for BSN Local Employment Advanced nurse training available: CRNA, LTHET, C C.

The virtual tours not only allow users to zoom into any place around the world, but it also provides information pertaining to the chosen location. The website claims to provide a multitude of multimedia information "from the web community and popular sources like National Geographic"; users are also provided with "Geographic Web and Featured Content layers as well as layers for 3D buildings, parks, schools, hospitals, airports, shops and more," states the website. For those whom need practical local information, the website also provides driving directions and makes it easy to "layer multiple searches, save results to folders, and share placemarks with others." Book marking or rather, "placemarking" locations, permits users to save the places they have visited along with customized additional information added to the "placemark." It is clear that Google Earth provides a plethora of resources to users around the globe, but perhaps more importantly, it exposes the devastation taking place in Darfur. When the fiveletter word, "S-u-d-a-n", is typed into the search bar, the website displays a world of its own - far from any location one would "placemark" as a vacation spot. The screen shows two types of fire icons: one orange and red, the other completely red. The orange/red fire represents damaged villages and the completely red fire represents destroyed vil- lages. As the destroyed and damaged villages are homes to many, those homes are represented by light and dark blue icons labeling them as either "refugees" or "internally displaced" individuals. Where one would be excited to click on the multimedia icons in any other given location, these icons only unfold the tragedy that has befallen the men, women and children of Darfur. Videos and pictures give testimonies of the people who have been afflicted by the genocide sweeping across Sudan. Upon reading testimonials, seeing pictures and watching movies - the website provides a link to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), where users can find out more information about the crisis in Darfur, how to help, and "bear witness" to the achingly horrible violence that is occurring everyday. The entire world is now able to witness mass genocide - however it is up to users to seek the knowledge.

BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer The Arthritis Foundation invites the community to par- ticipate in its? annual San Diego Arthritis Walk. To be held at Embarcadero Park North on Sunday, May 20, the Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to help the 46 million people with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Arthritis affects men, women, and children of every race and ethnic group and is America's leading cause of disability. Over 700,000 residents of San Diego and Imperial Counties live with arthritis, nearly 3,500 of them children. The Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to honor and to help improve the lives of friends, loved ones, and community members afflicted with the debilitating condition. Funds generated by the event will be used by the Arthritis Foundation in its ongoing effort to "help individuals take control of arthritis by providing public health education; pursuing public policy and legisla- tion; and conducting evidencebased programs to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis," according to the foundation's website (www. arthritis.org). Those who wish to participate in the San Diego Arthritis Walk can register online to form or join a team. Once registered, participants can set up their own personal Web page and begin raising funds using the online fundraising tools provided by the foundation. At the event, according to the 2007 San Diego Arthritis Walk homepage, participants may choose from a three-mile or one-mile walk route; write an inspirational message on the Wall of Heroes; wear a blue "hero" hat if they have arthritis; and enjoy the f un, festivities and f ree health information. There is no fee to register, but a participant must raise a minimum of $100 in order to receive an Arthritis Walk tshirt. The event schedule is as follows: May 18 @ 5 p.m.: Online registration closes. May 20 @ 7 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.: Registration and t-shirt pick up . 8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.: Warm up and announcements 8:30 a.m. - 10 a.m.: 5K Arthritis Walk at the Embarcadero Park North May 30 @ 5 p.m.: Online donations close. Get ready for the 2008 Walk! BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer Going the extra mile: Local Arthritis Walk Image courtesy the Arthritis Foundation Getting a summer job BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Summer is fast approaching. During summer, some Cougars go back to their home dens, some stay here at CSUSM, and some vacation around the world. Regardless of the destination, all Cougars need money during the summer. One way to ensure a supply of money consists of working during the summer. All Cougars should be aware of the basics when applying for a job. Despite the current lack of seriousness in today's college culture, first appearances matter the most. When applying for a job make sure to groom neatly meaning no crazy hair dyes, no overrun sideburns, and no just woke up before coming to interview hairdos. Dress professionally even if the job of interest is the local donut shop. Dressing professionally consist of a dress shirt, tie, dress shoes and slacks for male Cougars, and non-revealing blouses, skirts or slacks, and dress shoes for female Cougars. Keep eye contact, shake hands firmly, and formally introduce yourself to all personnel. CSUSM's Career Center website (www. csusm.edu/careers) offers loads of information regarding summer jobs and internships. One summer job opportunity provided through a link on the website is a job involving "campaigns to stop global warming pollution and promote clean, renewable energy alternatives." Another links offers a job in painting residential and commercial for the summer/The web- site also offers aid in creating resumes and an online interview practice program with over 1,500 mock interview questions. Another website offering advice for job-hunting Cougars is Monster (www. monster.com). Monster has over 75 million registered users. Monster users post their resumes at no charge, allowing interested companies to view them. Interviews are highly important when applying for a job. In addition, Monster recommends further involvement in job hunting outside of just posting a resume. Wendy S. Enelow, a Monster Contributing Writer, explains, "Writing powerful thank-you letters is not just a formality. Thank-you letters are marketing tools that can have tremendous value in moving your candidacy forward and positioning you above the competition." James Gonyea, another Monster Contributing Writer, proclaims "Discover the Work You Were Born to Do" in his article on how tofinda job you will enjoy by answering a set of 20 questions. Career Builder (www.careerbuilder. com) also provides information on jobs and is similar to Monster. A quick search in sales in San Marcos, CA resulted in 13 hits. The 13 job listings offered jobs from selling furniture, toflowers,and even cell phones. Like Monster, the website allows users to upload resumes quickly and free. Post Resume (www.postresume.com), similar to Career Builder and Monster, also allows the postirig of resumes at no charge. The website suggests "Rewrite/update/rework your resume to reflect your current career objectives. Remember that your resume speaks volumes about you, particularly if you're looking to shift gears into a new field in which you have no directly applicable experience. Be sure to note your skills and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring to a job rather than industry-specific experience. And, emphasize transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork, and problem-solving. Also, be sure to highlight prior measurable/demonstrable accomplishments." The upcoming 2007 San Diego County Fair "Salute to Heroes" (www.sdfair. com) begins June 8th and ends July 4th. The event creates numerous opportunities for employment. Such job opportunities include shuttle drivers, stagehands, ticket sellers, and even security positions. The excitement and proximity of the San Diego County Fair smells like a perfect catch for any Cougar. If finding a job seems traumatic and stressful, take into account a real experience from a fellow Cougar. "I was once hired because I looked preppy and had no friends. I rolled in wearing flip-flops, a Volcom short sleeve t-shirt, board shorts and sunglasses. My boss felt sorry for me and hired me," said Business Administration Major Kyle McClellan. So, as the few weeks left of school come to a close, begin the job search now to ensure afinanciallyburden free summer. �Halfofus.com Website of the Week: BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer reaches those young people who need help the m ost" Halfofus.com aims to join, support and inform college students about mental health issues, while also allowing students to guide the direction of the site with their personal testimonials and feedback. The website offers students exclusivity by linking students to their own school's specific programs on mental health and depression, and provides students with national resources as well. Topics addressed on the site include: depression, suicide, bipolar disease, eating disorders, anxiety, stress, alcohol use and drugs. One particular service offered through the site is an anonymous screening tool for students to help them understand, cope with and take further action should they feel they have an emotional disorder. Halfofus.com is a "safe space" that provides students with the opportunity to explore their feelings and emotions through useful resources, and presenting advice on how to reach out to a friend, as well as ways to combat depression. . Featured tools on the website include: an action center to facilitate students who wish to get more involved in mental health awareness, with information on how to start an "Active Minds student advocacy chapter" on their campus; an anonymous self-evaluation screening tool that was developed by the Medical Center of Duke University, giving students individualized feedback; "Through Half of Us, mtvU and The Jed Foundation want to initiate a public dialogue to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues on campus and connect students to the appropriate resources to get help," states halfofus. com. Halfofus.com is just one of the many resources available through The Jed Foundation (an organization leading the nation in suicide prevention and helping to educate college students about mental health and mental health services) and ULifeline (a program run by The Jed Foundation). Launched in November of 2006, the Jed Foundation paired with mtvU to create a campaign to heighten awareness about mental health issues and their prevalence on college campuses across the nation by linking students to the right resources. In a press announcement released by mtvU, Half Of Us "represents the reality that nearly half of all college students have felt so depressed they could not function. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, and the number one cause of suicide is depression. In an effort to reverse these trends, Half of Us will initiate a public dialogue that begins to de-stigmatize mental health, encourages more young people to seek out ways to improve their state of mind, and m Mv ass » Tiies •'1 W ed Cilmb in the • • French Grammar ' - Executive's Chair Workshop , "Developing Your .:• lOto 11:50 a.m. Markstein 125 •• Use of Articles & • Negatives* • ' ; .

As one of the most visited places in Morocco, it comes as no surprise that it offers a real sumptuous shopping experience; of course you are expected to haggle hard! In a city full of talented artists of llVilV «MUÍ many disciplines— especially leather working, wood and metals, there is no shortage of venders to try out your negotiating skills and it really is a fun thing to do. Marrakesh is also known as the "Red City," possibly due to the abundance of its ochre colored buildings, and it was the capital of Morocco off and on for a few hundred years. The first thing that a visitor to the place will notice when disembarking the plane, l^il^i is the stunning snow-capped High Atlas Mountains that surround the area; however, the awe does not end there. Beyond the city walls, resides such an unfamiliar collision of smells, sights and noise that it can be tricky to maintain your sense of direction, not good when you are trying to find your accommodations! Donkeys and carts are a major form of transportation, as are diesel powered mini motorbikes, so it is inevitable that extremely potent fumes hit the nose as you meander through the narrow streets. Venders in tiny shops line the streets as do countless motorbike repair shops and you really have to be careful in navigating your way around; people and animals are everywhere and there seems to be no rules with regard to slaloming a motorbike at high speed through the throngs of walkers.* Most streets seem to lead to the famous Djemaa el-Fna, a huge central square full of activity. Here you will find performers of every kind, from snake charmers to story tellers/Animals are everywhere too, donkeys and mules tirelessly haul THE PRIDE their cargo and performing monkeys hop around their owners shoulders. Naturally pick pockets abound and you may encounter a few solicitations for henna hand painting or merchandise, so it is important that you do not become too mesmerized by the fantastical scenes around you. Also overlooking the hive of activity is the ancient 253-ft tall Prayer tower or minaret, of the Koutoubia mosque, a. beautiful structure complete with huge stork nests at the top. Five times a day there is a call to prayer from the minaret which adds to the feeling of wonderment of the place; there really is nothing more beautiful than hearing the first cali just before dawn. Linked to the Djemaa el-Fna is the extensive network of the souqs an absolute must to explore. Everything you could possibly imagine is sold here, including things you would probably not like to imagine, such as leopard skins that you will find in some of the apothecary stalls. However, I believe that it is important to keep an open mind and, above all, be respectful to the Moroccans right to practice what they believe in, you are after all a visitor in their culture. Aside from shopping, I really recommend soaking in other things. Take in the museums and the gorgeous Yves St. Laurent gardens. Wonder at the Moroccan Saadian architecture amidst the Saadian Dynasty tombs and, for the ultimate in relaxation, pay a visit to one of the numerous steam baths or Hammans for an olive soap scrub down or simply sit and people watch whilst sipping delicious mint tea at a café in the Djemaa el-Fna. In all, Marrakesh will provide memories of a timeless place and you will no doubt be keen to return, it really can be a wonderful immersion into an enchanting and exhilarating culture. �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday; May 1, 2007 Jock Talk With Josh: Yankees vs Rod Sox BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I am so sick of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. The sports world loves this rivalry, but I am completely over it. The last straw for me came last Thursday. I was sitting in my COMM 440 class with, Dr. Bud Morris. Every week at that time I'm usually struggling tofinda topic to write about, and last week was no different. My next step at that point is to ask my buddy Mike Millburn for a topic. I respect his suggestions since he's also in the sports business, but I could tell it was a slow sports news day when he told me the biggest story was about a sock. That's right, a sock. Not just a regular white gym sock, but a bloody sock that was worn in 2004. The significance of a bloody sock, you ask? It was worn by Curt Schilling in the 2004 playoffs when the Red Sox came from behind from a three games to nothing deficit against the Yankees before going on to win the World Series. Schilling showed great courage at the time for pitching with a torn tendon in his ankle. The blood on the sock came from his sutured ankle that the training staff did up for him twice during the playoffs. The reason this * sock has emerged almost three years later? Because Gary Thorne, a baseball announcer said that one of Schilling's teammates told him that it was red paint, and not blood on the sock. That was the lead story on the 3PM Sportscenter last Thursday. ESPN spent seven minutes discussing a red sock from the Red Sox. What may be most disturbing is that red sock sits in Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame. When the museum closes at night I can imagine all the baseball head plaques wondering where 3 snnam..Mrm 9 8 6 1 5 the nasty smell is coming from. I can imagine the plaques of Reggie Jackson and Lou Gehrig looking at one another and accusing Babe Ruth as the source of the smell. Then Ted Williams' plaque jumping in and explaining that there's a bloody sock from the Red Sox World Series Championship. I can imagine all of that because the sports world would like you to believe that even the Red Sox and Yanked Hall of Fame plaques don't like each other. Seriously, though. The Red Sox and Yankees played a three game series two weeks ago and all three were on national telecasts, ESPN broadcasted the Friday and Sunday night games while Fox 6 7 2 T he o bjective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the c orrect numbers. There are three r ules: 5 2 6 *Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order Évery 3 by 3 subsection of thè 9 by 9 squaré must include all digits 1 through 9 s ! i 9 L 6 "1 Z if Z 8 £ Ez P L; £ 9 s £ P 6 i 9 Ï -5.V.

The season is only a month old and both teams have already made more appearances on national television than most other teams will have all season long. Back to the red sock. Thorne actually held an impromptu news conference to discuss the "controversy" once Mirabelli denied ever saying that it was paint, and not blood. A press conference over a bloody sock. I think that may be a sign of the Apocalypse or hopefully the downfall of this played out rivalry.

A native to North County and a UCSD graduate, Martin Storrow preaches a peachy blend of acoustic folk and poppy jams. "I think in college when everyone is so focused on the outcome, so focused on the piece of paper, the result, the grade— [it's important to] just find a fulfillment in the process. Find the fulfillment in every step along the way, and don't worry too much about the outcome," said Storrow. "If you really want it, it will happen," he continued, addressing the challenges of following one's dream and career aspirations. After a long haul oftouring last winter - "150 days on the road," claimed Storrow - he's back in town for a bout of relaxation and regeneration to finish his first ^olo full-length album with producers Peter Spragu6 and Daniel Diaz. "It's been really nice to just be home," said Storrow, "and I think it also helps the art too. Being homfe and connecting with these old relationships that I've had and being in this emotional space of familiarity—that really breeds good art, I think." Anticipated to be released later this summer, some of the highlights awaiting listeners on the yet to be named new album are tracks like "Angel of the Moment," "Midnight Daydreams," and "Ugly." "Everything from songs I wrote six years ago, to songs that I wrote yesterday are going to be on this album," said Storrow. "The songs stem from the same place, which is a very honest place." One of the featured tracks that .will be on the new album is "Angel of the Moment." "For me," explained Storrow, "that song is about all of us in our own capacity to be someone's angel, which I think is such a powerful thought, so I'm excited about that song and what it says." Formerly the frontmanforThe Storrow Band, Martin Storrow is no stranger to the local or even national music scene and his music is as honest and captivating as ever. "I'm sure you've listened to a song and thought: 'that song is about me, that's what I wanted to say, and this person said it.' As a [song-writer] when I hear that, there's a part [of me] that's like 'oh crap, what now?' [Thinking] that now I can't write that song because someone else already said it," said Storrow. "But to be able to do that—to be able to connect—it's not just a destination as much as it is a process, and that's where my fulfillment comes from, from that process...there's no point that I'll reach where I'll say 'I'm done being a song-writer.'" Admitting to having played over 350 shows within the past few years on the road, when asked how he keeps his performances fresh and unique, he replied, "I think the trick to keeping it fresh is a) remembering exactly why I do this, and b) playing stuff that I like and enjoying myself." Entertaining a cozy and intimate listening experience, Martin Storrow's "show slash workshop" is fun and memorable, complete with Storrow's special touch of humor and charm. Catch Martin Storrow at "It's a Grind Coffee House" off of Rancho Sante Fe in San Marcos, every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. through May.

JMthJhe^anticipationof M ay-4-nearing, audiences across the world are getting tickets for the showing of "Spider-Man 3" in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) square off against the New Goblin (James Franco), Venom (Topher Grace) and the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) in what may be considered the best "Spider-Man" yet. At the start of the film, Peter Parker (Maguire) is at the top of his class in school while, Spider-Man is receiving approval from the entire city of New York. Mary sour concoction is also the perfect decoration for any well-manicured hand on any given occasion. This juicy spin on a classic martini could have originated from one of three scenarios in my opinion; the first of which is in the spirit of the evil queen in Snow White, who, as the fairly tale says, tricked Snow White into eating the poisoned apple. The second of which is the telltale biblical story of the temptation of the Eve with apple in the Garden of Eden. Perhaps the creator of the Appletini felt tempted to mess with a good thing (the original martmi). Although none of these possibilities a?e very likely, this sinful indulgence is a sugary twist on the timeless martini, bound to delight and satisfy. Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) is living her childhood dream and is a star of a Broadway show, while Harry Osborn (Franco) is stilWooking to avenge his father's death. With everything going so well, it only seems right that outside forces would begin to play a role and bring in a lot of drama. When a strange black creature from out of this world takes over the Spider-Man suit, Peter Parker becomes a whole new character. At the same time, a new freelance photographer, Eddie Brock, (Grace) competes with Peter Parker in taking SpiderMan's photo. With the addition of Grace, the audience receives a well-balanced cast. Photo by Amanda Andreen I The Pride .With many subtle variations of the newly found classic floating around, my . favorite version of the smashingly appetizing Appletini is as follows: 1 1/2 ounce Smirnoff Green Apple Twist Vodka 1 ounce DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker schnapps Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Fill with ice. Shake well and then pour the mix into a martini glass and garnish with an apple slice or a maraschino cherry, Ah yes,: the Appletini, one of my favorites and soon to be yoursi; Johnny Appleseed sure had the right idea; it is just too bad it took the rest of us so long to catch on. As things begin to settle down in the movie and the storylines are slowly immerging, Maguire and Franco are able to have fim with4heif-eharaeters-by over emphasizing their emotions, which brings humor to the film. With things slowly going back to normal, the audience gets sucked into the heavy dosages of drama instead of the action packed movie viewers would expect. With the longevity of the drama, the film's humor passes the time as well as the scattered battle scenes throughout the film. The best parts of thisfilmare the action scenes - from the spectacular animation Movie Review Image courtesy of Sony Pictures of Spider-Man saving the innocent, to Peter dancing up a storm, to the very well choreographed battles between the good ""guys and the not-so-evil bad guys. The action scenes allow the audience to forget that the story moves slowly. With some amazing one-on-one battles, the finale is what makes the movie what it is, another blockbuster smash. With all the story lines coming to a close, the movie tries to pull tears from the audience as the emotional rollercoaster of Spider-Man and friends comes to an end. And this very well could be thefinalchapter of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. house in reference to a popular BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Jpride Staff Writer * ¡ gggj on Qhxgda oV southern s We. ¡ ¡¡¡I ¡ g j m i | rn I H P | g tass bottles are tinted dark green and : | Friday, night, books in a, mountainous adorned with red and gold bottle caps, stack on the left, bundles of pens and pencils The bottle caps crown a beer with an alcool the right, and a computer screen in the hoi by volume of 4.8 percent.

Haynes opened the forum by saying, "We're obviously all here today as a university community coming together to share our grief, our concerns of personal safety, and ask questions as we go forward. . ." President Haynes continued by saying, "I'm sure many of yoù in our campus community have personal connections to Virginia Tech, and so it brings another dimension for you ; to this conversation. I was asked just now by the press, whether this was our first or our last step in this conversation; I'm sure that there will be many steps, public, formal, personal and private as we continue to think through the implications. One other public step that we will take as a university is to contribute to the Hokies Memorial Fund that will help for counseling and other services to the victims and their families."

The employees of Community Interface work each day to assist adults with developmental disabilities including those with autism* mental retardation, cerebral palsy, turrets syndrome and other developmental disabilities. Out of the 130 employees at CIS, 10 are Alumni of CSUSM. CIS of Carlsbad is a non profit organization that serves all of San Diego County.

For the third straight year in a row, CSUSM has placed first in the Grand Champion category. Cougars remain victorious, as they beat out over two hundred schools across the country. RecycleMania consists of a ten-week competition between campuses throughout t he nation. There are four categories of competition. These categories are largest amount of recyclables per capita, largest amount of total recyclables, least amount of trash rate. The competition mandates measurements in pounds on a weekly basis throughout the duration of the competition. For their e fforts, campuses receive trophies, awards, and certificates. RecycleMania began in 2001. Ohio University and Miami University were the first and only two competitors for the first competition. In six years, the competition h as nearly doubled every year and the contest h as created new categories for competition. I n 2007, 201 campuses competed in t he competition.

April 18, Students devoured watermelon on the mezzanine plaza in the name of the activism at the event hosted by ASI, Take a Bite out of the Budget. Volunteers asked students to sign a standard letter addressed t o Senator Jack Scott that made three demands of California Legislature and Governor. The letter d rafted by ASI read, "Fund the necessary $65 million for the CSU, freezing fees at the 2006-2007 levels. Fund the $24 million Student Services Initiative. Restore the $7 million on outreach." According to the letter, "These actions will ensure that the California State University remains accessible to all Californians." Chrissy Satterfield, Governmental Relations Outreach Specialist said, "The goal is to fight the fee increase and sign our Photos by Pnmela Castillo / The Pride Above: Estaban Tadeo, a student volunteer, asks for Carla Delgado's signature.

While enjoying f ree hot dogs and soda, students gathered to cheer the contestants in a watermelon-eating contest. There were two preliminary rounds, and the winners f rom those rounds battled it out for the championship. With their noses buried deep in watermelon and juices dripping f rom chins, contestants raced for the rights to victory.

Today is not any different than the rest to Marjorie Mina. As she makes her rounds through the store, she asks her clients how they are doing and if they may need any assistance. Her clients though, are not customers of Wal-Mart; they are Wal-Mart employees who have developmental disabilities. As a job coach for Community Interface Services of Carlsbad, Mina works with eight higher functioning adults. In Mina's case, four out of eight of her clients work at WalMart and have overlapping hours so Mina makes her rounds and works one on one with her clients during their shifts. As a job coach, Mina works under Community Interface's Supportive Employment program. Mina began working with CIS after she graduated from CSUSM in 2004 as a Human Development major. In the three years that she has been working for CIS, Mina has learned that her clients are excited to have a job. "We help them be a part of the community," Mina said. "If they take a bus to work, we teach them what to do if they get lost, or what happens when there's a disaster at work." When Mina started working with her client Chris Deddo, she learned that whenever Deddo was faced with a question from a customer to which he did not know the answer, he would walk away. Mina would then interfere and show Deddo that he could ask another associate for help. What Mina says she enjoys the most is, "I can watch them grow." Job Coaches at CIS work with clients who work at Pet Smart, Noah's Ark Learning Center, Wild Animal Park and Target among other employers. Two other major departments of CIS include Supportive Living and Independent Living. In 1991 when Kim Larsen graduated from CSUSM as a Business Major, she was quickly promoted to associate director. Bruce Willbrant, another alumnus of CSUSM, was not sure where he would live after graduation when he found a classifieds ad for Community Interface's Supportive Living department. In the Supportive Living department, employees live with a roommate who has a developmental disability. Willbrant thought, "I'd get paid and I'd have a place to live." Today Willbrant assists his clients as an Independent Living Supervisor. Willbrant .

Chief Hackenberg responded: "We have plans in place. We have the ability to lock down areas on campus from dispatch that would help to isolate any kind of shooter activity. We also have a system where we can communicate through our classrooms under times of duress that will also be helpful in letting people know exactly what the situation is at the time." Dean Manship also explained to the audience that there is a system being finalized this very moment that would allow the university to send text messages to students in case of an oncampus emergency or life-threatening situation. Another main point emphasized in the forum was that of mental health care, and Carlene Smith addressed that, ensuring students that there are services available at SHCS for students to take advantage of. In hopes to reach the rest of the student body, Hackenberg said, "We have a very safe campus here; that's both by perception and statistics bear that out, and we always need to keep that in mind. We want students to be very aware of any rumors, possibilities, possessions of a weapon on campus, or anyone who might be planning these types of things. We just want to encourage them to report those things to the police department."

Haynes, and Gregory Toya (Associate Dean of Students) and a few other representatives from campus organizations. The central focus was to first remember and honor the Virginia Tech tragedy and to second address the campus community about our own safety precautions in place and how they are being practiced and improved. In addition to offering a safe environment for an open discussion to inquiring students and staff, the forum also hosted a guest speaker, an alumnus from Virginia Tech affiliated with the San Diego chapter of Virginia Tech Alumni. She shared a poignant testimony about her experience at Virginia Tech and how the tragedy had impacted her and her family's life, as her younger brother currently attends Virginia Tech. After the guest speaker, Gregory Toya opened up the floor for the audience to ask questions. The first question asked addressed what plans CSUSM has in place "ft: ' ^ plans his clients' budget and assists them in finding and purchasing affordable housing. When speaking of helping clients attain jobs, Larsen said, "Our goal is to help them become more independent. So we may start out 100% there, at the orientation, interview, and then when they get the hang of it, we'll start fading out." Willbrant found his education at CSUSM to be extremely helpful. "The thing about San Marcos is that they have this unique major, Human Development, which is ideal, along with sociology and psychology." Denise Sumlin a graduated as Liberal Studies and Sociology double major with a focus in Child Development. As an Independent Living Counselor, Sumlin says she helps maintain independence. An Independent Living Counselor may assist clients in daily living such accessing community resources or gaining social skills. Sumlin added, "At school, it's all about the books. It's test after test. Here, it's nothing but hands on. It all comes back to you. I thought, I will never use this again in my life! But I am putting a lot of it to good use. You do get a chance to use some of that." Christine Sheppard, Supported Employment Supervisor, finds that the employees at CIS enjoy coming to work each day. Sheppard said, "They are highly dedicated to the service recipients and they have the ability to cooperate and work well with others." Shannon Foster works as a Resource Counselor. In 2000, she graduated from CSUSM as a double major in Psychology and Sociology. She spends her days in the community with her clients. On Mondays, she works out with her clients at the YMCA, and on certain Fridays, she takes her clients to the mall for some shopping. Foster assists her clients in their work and social skills. "We learn what their dreams are then we help to accomplish their goals," Foster said. Sally Serrin, a current student of CSUSM decided to work at CIS in order to fulfill an internship requirement for her Sociology course. Serrin says that she's been able to help where it's needed. Since Serrin began working at Community Interface, she has gained experience with doing research for the company, working with clients and completing market audit reports among other things. "Everybody here is so positive," Serrin said, "with a good attitude about a lot of things." From RECYCLEMANIA, page 1 and San Diego State University were amongst the 201 universities in the competition. CSUSM first entered the competition in 2005 and placed first in Recycling Rate with a rate of 44 percent. The Recycling Rate category compares the weight of recyclables to the weigh of trash. In 2006, CSUSM won the Grand Champion award, placed second in the Per Capita Classic, and finished first in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. Campuses that fall into the Grand Champion category demonstrate an excellence in recycling and reducing waste throughout the entire competition. The Per Capita Classic compares the amount of recyclables to the number of students in a given campus. The Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category compares the amount of recycled corrugated cardboard to the number of students in a given campus. For the 2007 contest, CSUSM brought home another first place victory in the Grand Champion category. CSUSM also placed second in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. A recycling culture throbs throughout CSUSM's campus. Cougars consistently recycle spent products in easily accessible bins. "I recycle every single thing and I make sure it goes in the right recycle bin," said Liberal Studies Major Senior DeLacy Brown. "I can be standing anywhere and turn around and find a recycling bin." "It feels good that my school has won the RecycleMania competition three times in a row. It's really cool that our school which is in southern California cares that much about the environment," said Arts and Technology Major Freshmen Jake Gossett. "Recycling is about giving back to the community. Given the fact that Cal State San Marcos has won three years in a row giving back to the community has been a major priority to us," said Psychology Major Senior Logan Goolsby. "It makes me glad to go to a school where students take the extra time to use the blue bins for recycling. It would feel weird not to recycle because the bins are everywhere," said Liberal Studies Major junior Jenny Bigpond. The contestants for next year's competition will most likely grow in number. Previous contenders will sharpen their recycling skills. However, given the current trends, Cougars have a bright f uture and foreseeable victory in the RecycleMania 2008 competition.

The competition was stiff, but Justin and Sandy devoured their way through huge pieces of watermelon and won the preliminary rounds. Rossiter and Betancourt battled against each other for the championship. Grunting and growling, Rossiter ripped red chunks of watermelon from its green rind while Betancourt trailed close behind. The crowd cheered in favor of Betancourt, but Rossiter gulped his way to the championship. Students at the event also took part in signing a large red poster, among others, that students will send to Virginia Tech. The poster reads, "Our deepest sympathies to Virginia Tech from the students of Cal State San Marcos. Other posters read, "CSUSM honors Virginia Tech." Sara Gallegos stated, "The final event that they will be at is the Wellness Fair on Tuesday the 24th in the Field House. A fter that we are going to mail the posters to Virginia Tech." Satterfield said, "My overall reaction was that it was a success. We got exactly 100 signatures for our budget letters, which is great! The contest and event was a huge success and I couldn't have been happier with the result." �FEATURES Down to Earth: A green day on a green campus Tuesday; April 24, 2007 THE PRIDE BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Sunday, April 22, was Earth Day. On this special day designed to promote environmental awareness, millions across the nation joined in celebration of Mother Earth. While some people renewed their commitment to reduce, recycle and reuse, others raised money to f und other environmental causes. Historically, it was the concern of Senator Gaylord Nelson, a Democrat from Wisconsin that sparked our country's environmental awareness. He founded the first Earth Day in 1970 after trying to bring environmental awareness to the American population since 1962. On envirolink.org, Nelson said, "Earth Day worked because of the spontaneous response at the grassroots level. We had neither the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators and the thousands of schools and local communities that participated. That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day. It organized itself." America celebrates Earth Day on April 22. This day is also the birthday of Eddie Albert, a former American television star and environmental activist; it also happens to be the birthday of Julius Stirling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day. According to the U.S. government's web site on Earth Day (earthday.gov), the United States is much better off than it was in 1970. The air is cleaner, the loss of wetlands is being reversed, and other important environmental legislation continues to improve conditions. Though things may be looking up, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently reported with 100 percent confidence that global warming is happening, and with 90 percent confidence that it is because of human interference. The IPCC is a panel of scientists from different countries and works closely with the United Nations. Since the report, the United States Congress has been discussing new environmental legislation that would significantly cut down on the production of greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, there are many things that people can do to help save our planet. The government's Earth Day site suggests saving energy by making homes more efficient, turning off appliances and lights when not in use, purchasing "green power" for the electricity of houses, insulating homes, driving less, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs. The site also suggests several ways to use less water. It urges people to use WaterSense labeled products and programs. These products, " will p erform well, help save money, and encourage innovation in manufacturing." (See http://www. e pa.gov/watersense/index.htm for more information on WaterSense.) The site also says to not to let water r un while shaving or brushing teeth, to take short showers instead of baths, to scrape rather than rinse dishes before loading into dishwasher, and to only wash f ull loads of dishes and laundry. It also recommends buying high efficient plumbing fixtures, repairing leaks (one leaky toilet can waste as much as 200 gallons of water every day), and watering lawns and plants during the coolest p art of the day. Another way to celebrate Earth is by using the three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle. To reduce, people should consider buying permanent items instead of disposables, buying products with less packaging, and only «J buying what they need. Reusing is as simple as repairing items as much as possible, using cloth napkins, and reusing boxes, purchasing and reusing refillable pens and pencils, and donating extra things to other people or charities. Recycling is the third component. Many things can be recycled—paper, plastic, bottles, cardboard, aluminum; but, other things can and should be recycled such as electronics, motor oil, printer cartridges, and even compost food scraps, grass and other yard clippings. Cal State San Marcos is particularly earth conscious—our university recently won RecycleMania for the third year in a row by recycling over 59% of all that we throw away. This season, be more environmentally conscious and make environmental resolutions that will save money and our earth. As Captain Planet always says, "The power is yours!" Honoring CSUSM's semi-annual Yellow Ribbon Week BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death annually in the United States and is the 2nd leading cause of death among college-aged students (according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention). The American- Association of Suicidology states that about every 16 minutes, a person in the U.S. takes their own life, and every 39 seconds a person in the U.S. attempts to take their own life. In 2004, the most recent complete data statistics, there were roughly 811,000 suicide attempts, and a total 32,439 suicides. With approximately 80 Americans taking their life each day and nearly 1,500 more Americans attempting to do so, there has got to be an underlying cause for such high statistics, as well as something everyone can do to help. Fortunately for CSUSM students, and the greater San Diego community, there is something that can be done and a way to help. As it has been on campus since the spring of 2003, CSUSM has its very own Yellow Ribbon Club, which is connected with a larger organization: Light for Life. Chris Sanchez, President of the Yellow Ribbon Club on campus, encourages students to not only become more aware about suicide and its warning signs, but also to participate in the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week happening on campus April 30-May 2. With multiple events happen- ing on campus for the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week, Sanchez hopes to educate his peers about the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, the Light for Life Foundation and the Yellow Ribbon Cards that are available at the events and online at www.yellowribbon.org. To kick-off the approaching Yellow Ribbon Week at CSUSM, the Yellow Ribbon Club is hosting its first shoe drive. The shoe drive aims to collect donated shoes from students for a display to appear in front ofLibrary Plaza during Yellow Ribbon Week. A fter the completion of Yellow Ribbon Week, the donated shoes will then be donated to a local charity. The shoe drive will continue through Friday, April 27, and the collections areas are at the ASI Women's Center in FCB 102 and in front of Student Life and Leadership in Craven 3400. "We're going to be having what's now become our semiannual yellow ribbon week where we go out there and we want to encourage students to come see this video we show called 'The Truth about Suicide.' 'The Truth about Suicide' is a video put on by the America Foundation for Suicide, the AFSP. And what they have done is created this video that outlines a lot of the symptoms of depression, suicide and they bring the perspective from real life people who have either attempted to take their life, or who have had friends who have. It is very emotional and I think it's very a ffective," said Sanchez. The majority of the events happening during Yellow Ribbon Week will take place on Monday, April 30, and Tuesday, May 1, during University Hour in the Library Plaza. There will also be two screenings of "The Truth about Suicide" Wednesday, May 2, one during University Hour in Markstein Hall 107 and the second at 5 p.m. in The Clarke Field House.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Paris did not earn the prestigious title of "most visited place in the world" f or nothing; it really is nothing short of spectacular. I picked the less touristy o ff season to visit, and although I did not get to personally witness the typical ' Eiffel tower postcard' view, replete with flowers and lavish greenery, I did get to see the city covered in a f resh layer of snow—a real bonus in my view. It is hard to know where to begin in a city such as Paris, but I suppose a good starting point is a good hotel or hostel location. I decided to stay on the l eft bank of the Seine in a simple and oddly decorated hotel that boasted a less than five minute walk to the E iffel Tower. Indeed the tiny hotel was - very inventively' called 'La Tour E iffel.' An added bonu%to th% hotel was its proximity,, to the métro, which in my opinion is something that a visitor to Paris should pick as a priority when selecting a hotel; you < will «pend a great* deal-of time cruising the odoriferous, bustling lines and it really is a great way to get a feel for the local life. Needless to say, it is advisable to take advantage of the ' Paris Visite' travel cards that o ffer unlimited use of the métro and buses within a specified t ime period. D uring my stay in Paris, I did not adhere to a rigid schedule; instead I picked an area of interest and wandered around seeing what grabbed my fancy. Although I wanted to see all the usual suspects, I planned to spend a great deal of time in the local eateries and coffee shops. Navigating around the l eft bank in the gently falling snow, I visited ' L 'Hôtel des Invalides'—a huge construction orchestrated by Louis X IV t o house wounded soldiers. Les Invalides i s v ery easy to spot due to its unmistakable gold dome. However, the luxury does not end there—wait till you see Napoléon's massive red sarcophagus housed inside the Eglise du Dôme and the amazing array of weaponry housed in the Musée de L'armée. A gentle stroll along the bank of the lazily flowing river Seine later, and I found myself exploring Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle in the Isle de la Cité; the old historical heart of Paris. Notre Dame is incredible with its huge domed roof enveloping the wonderful scent that all ancient buildings have: that of sweet earth and centuries of candle burning. The Cathedral façade itself is amazing, as are the famous cheeky gargoyles that line the panorama o fParis. Of course the view requires a long walk up the many flights of stairs, but it is well worth it. As I crossed over the Seine via the famous Pont Neuf ('New Bridge'), I was tempted to pay a visit to the Louvre, t hankfully I decided against it. To f ully appreciate the cornucopia of a rtifacts stashed within the Louvre, or the converted train station that is the Musée d'Orsay, I definitely recommend devoting the better part of a day to really submerse oneself. Of course, in addition to the more familiar, Paris has many other exhibits for the discerning art lover to wander around; indeed there is j ust so much to see in the whole city. Climb the Arc de Triomphe and gaze down the sparkling Champs Elysées; For shopping, visit the b eautiful 'Art Nouveau' Galleries Lafayette or take the métro to the Abbesses stop and stroll the narrow streets of Montmartre; here you will also find the old white church Sacré Coeur, the two remaining Moulins (windmills) of Paris and of course the nearby red light district of Pigali which contains the famous Moulin Rouge—just be ready to pay about $100 to see the show! I also highly recommend a trip to the ancient Catacombs, a fhuge underground collection of human bones, complete with philosophical French signposts. It is easily reached f rom the Denfert-Rochereau métro station. In all, a trip to Paris is immensely satisfying in every regard, f rom the macabre to the enlightening; ' The City of Light' truly has something for everyone. �BY DAVID CHURCH g s p j f i g f f Pride Staff Write£ The track and field season is getting closer and closer to the end, and CSUSM track and field athletes are making their final preparations for May 24-26, NAIA National Championship.

NAIA Track and Field Ail-Americans. 2007 Men's Track team Padres update BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer The major league baseball schedule has been a bit strange early on. Week three of the Padres schedule saw them play consecutivetwo-game series, first in Chicago t& face-the'Gubsv then b ackhome t omeet the A rizona Diamondbacks. It is unusual t o take on an opponent f or a two game set. Series are generally three games and sometimes four. The shortened series l eft the Padres t o rack u p f requent flier miles in a hurry. A fter leaving L.A., dropping two of t hree to the Dodgers, the padres flew to the windy city for two days and back t o the west coast for two against the D-backs. Then they flew to Coors field in Colorado t o resume a more fashionable three-game series against the Rockies. The Padres have played eight days in a row of a ten day stint without a break. Since the Friday the 13th stomping at Los Angeles the Friars have gone 4-3 to stand at 10 w ins and 7 losses through April 20. Saturday, April 14 was another gem thrown by Padres ace right-hander Jake Peavy. O r^e again Peavy was dealing, giving u p only one r un on three hits in seven innings. He improved h is record to 5 -0 in h is last six outings against the rival Dodgers. T he p erformance was large since the Padres were blitzed 9-1 the night before. The o ffense was provided by B rian Giles, who homered and drove in two, and new 3B Kevin Kouzriianoff who hit his first home r un as a Padre in the f ourth i nning o ff Dodger pitcher Jason Schmidt. The following day Chavez Ravine proved a tough place t o play as the Padres dropped the series by losing. Left-hander Randy Wolf was staked to t hree r uns early and went on to beat Padres and Chris Young 9-3. The Sunday night game was seen on ESPN and highlighted by the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking t he color barrier in MLB. Robinson played for the Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn and was elected t o the Hall of Fame in 1962. Traveling to Chicago t o play t he Cubs for two games seemed simple enough. The Padres were 7-0 against the Cubs last year but spent huge dollars in the f ree agent market to upgrade their squad. In game one, Padres pitcher Clay Hensley continued h is struggles and the Friars lost 12-4. The Cubs hit three home rims while the Padres hit one; a ninth inning t hree-run shot by Marcus Giles. In game two, Greg Maddux took the hill in his old stomping grounds, Maddux had twotours in Chicago pitching a total of 10 years at Wrigley Field. Maddux pitched well, giving u p three r uns in five innings and keeping the Padres in it. There was not a r un scored by either team f rom the fifth through the fourteenth when G eoff Blum poked a double that scooted under Cubs LF Jacque Jones (San Diego High) glove allowing Khalil Greene to score the game winning r un. Trevor H offman closed the door on the series with his third save of the season in the bottom of the fourteenth. The travel-weary Padres came home for two against the Diamondbacks hoping t o rest the bullpen. L efty David Wells (Point Loma High) matched u p with last year's Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. The Padres had opportunities early but failed to capitalize and Webb went on to set a career high by striking out 13. Wells pitched great, giving u p t hree hits and a walk in seven innings. A 2-2 lasted till the t welfth when the D backs scored three r uns o ff Mike Thompson. The pitching staff was taxed a fter the two games and 26 innings sandwiching a flight f rom Chicago to San Diego. Jake Peavy took the mound in game two of the series and dominated with his arm and his bat. Peavy hit a two r un triple in the third inning to highlight seven early Padres r uns and celebrate his third win of the year, winning 11-6. SS Khalil Greene and C Rob Bowen hit home r uns in the seventh inning to extend the lead a fter the Diamondbacks had battled back to make it a two r un game. A series in Colorado kicked off with an overpowering performance by Chris Young of the Padres. He simply mowed through the Rockies lineup allowing one r un on f our hits while fanning seven in his seven innings of work. IB Adrian Gonzalez continued to lead the Padres offense by swatting a 447 foot bomb to right center. The Padres won 11-1 in the s eries opener. ¡ ¡¡¡il tHrV•^mmf i tv r i ri M Má i m; m m m ^ 2007 Women's Track team Phetos courtesy of CSUSM Athletics SOLARIUMS :_ -" - v - fflffl&E&m&m San «tercos W f e s t í m s t í W B h i .s b www.iTanSanDiego. mrn^^rnm^ •dahl'QfSÎ �Jock Talk With Josh: NBA picks revisited BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Back on October 31, five scary looking guys appeared in this column. Their names were Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, Kyle Trembley, and Josh Sandoval. Their mission: to predict what was going to happen in the 2006-2007 NBA season. Now that the NBA season has concluded, and the playoffs are underway I figured this was the time to look back on those predictions and talk a little bit about the post-season. The N ostradamus . award goes t o Paul for predicting the Toronto Raptors as the Most Improved Team. W hen he sent that pick to me I accused h im of being d runk. I feel safe saying that Paul is the only p erson in the world who thought t he R aptors would b e good. The t eam n orth of the border is t he No. 3 seed in the E astern C onference f acing the No. 6 seeded New Jersey Nets. The Captain Obvious award goes to Mike for predicting t he New York Knicks as the Most Disappointing Team. Even though Mike was the only one of u s to predict the 33-49 season, I still have t o tease h im about the ease of that pick. The Take Back award goes to Fernando for picking the Clippers to go to the Western Conference finals. The C lip Show finishes two games back of the Golden State Warriors for the final spot in the playoffs. The Most Likely to Happen award also goes to Fernando, since he did predict the Suns to beat the Pistons in the NBA Championship. The Pistons are the No. 1 seed in the East and the Suns are the No. 2 seed in the West. The Overzealous award goes to me for picking the New Jersey Nets over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Championship. The Nets have a lot of talent with Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson, but only finished 41-41 whereas the Mavericks had the best record in the NBA this season at 67-15. The Mike and Mike award goes t o Mike for picking Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as the N BA Coach of the Year. The Cavaliers finished with the same record of 50-32 that they had the previous season, but they went i rr kJB mS ' Wh' 1 Write l lllï KMjyi ^ f rom 14 games back and the No. 4 seed to only three games back and the No. 2 seed this season. I still t hink Mike only picked Mike because they share the same first name. The Should Happen But Won't award will be split in half with one half going to Paul and one half going to me for picking Kobe Bryant as the regular season MVP. Kobe's supporting cast, or lack there-of, fell apart this season. Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Chris M ihm, and Kwame Brown all missed time due to injuries and Kobe still got the Lakers into the playoffs. The Joey Crawford Hater award goes t o Kyle because Kyle made a lot of his picks revolving around the Spurs. NBA referee Joey Crawford threw Duncan out of a game towards the end of the season because Duncan was laughing on the bench. Crawford then threatened D uncan to a fight. NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Crawford and r umor is that Crawford's career may b e over. Duncan, meanwhile is worried that Crawford's cronies in the NBA ref society are going to punish his Spurs team. Kyle had the Spurs beating the Mavericks in the Western Finals and then the Heat in the N BA Championship and had D uncan w inning the MVP. Ifyou're keeping score at home, the final award is: Kyle - 1, Paul - 1.5, Me - 1.5, Fernando - 2, Mike-2. Now for my revised N BA playoff picks. The Suns will beat the Pistons in the N BA Finals with Steve Nash claiming MVP. Comments can b e sent t o m e at Sando026@csusm.edu or to the newspaper at pride@csusm.edu.

"There is no plot." With these words echoing in my mind, I settled in t o watch the last performance of " The Bald Soprano," presented by the Visual and P erforming A rts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. I confess I was predisposed t o be disappointed by t he play - not because I don't have faith in t he VPA t o deliver the goods, but because I am usually suspicious of anything which calls itself an "anti-play or parody." I o ften f ind such pieces less humorous t han depressingly misanthropic. "The Bald Soprano," written by Eugene Ionesco, is an odd combination of wit and misanthropy which, though it didn't make me laugh out loud, amused me and pro- Anthony Buonocore (left) as Mr. Martin and Lucia D. Lopez (right) as Mrs. Martin. vided some food for thought. Eugene Ionesco was one of the fathers of absurdist theater. Born in Romania in 1909, Ionesco grew u p in Paris. There he was employed a s a teacher, translator and proofreader, and it was only at the age of 39 that Ionesco tried h is hand at play writing. "The Bald Soprano," Ionesco's first play, was p erformed in 1950. Ionesco's experience learning English f rom a phrase book provided the inspiration for the piece. He found that dialogue within the phrase book, when read as though one were reading a novel, was intriguing in its f ragmentary and absurd nature. The meaning in "The Bald Soprano" derives f rom the fact that the dialogue itself has no meaning. The actors spout o ff insipid remarks that are completely u nrelated to those of the person t o whom they are speaking. Conversation, then, ceases to connect the parties who are conversing, a s they talk a lot but say little. C areful consideration seemed t o have b een t aken by t he cast and crew of t his p erformance t o make t his play appear applicable t o t oday's A merican society while r etaining something of the era in which it was w ritten. The result was a cross-generational amalgamation which lent itself b eautifully t o t he absurdity of t he play. The set was spare, containing bits of f urniture that could have easily existed in 1950s France as in 2007 America, except for multiple television sets showing images of President Bush and Ask Alliant About Education A t o ur S an Diego c ampus, w e offer: • TeachersCHO/CE preparation programs • E arly Completion Option: C alifornia Teaching Credential i n Nine Months • Master's in Education: Teaching, offered with the E arly Completion Option o r online • Master's in E ducation with credential in one y ear • A uditory-Oral Certificate • School and Educational Psychology ¡I S I. • Master's in Education, School Psychology Credential • Doctorate in Educational Psychology • Teaching English t o Speakers of O ther Languages ( TESOL) llllllllIIISSI, • Master's in Education, TESOL • Doctorate in T ESOL • T ESOL Graduate Certificate or CLAD Certificate • Educational Leadership • Master's in Educational Administration • Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management For m ore i nformation, o r t o a ttend an o pen h ouse call I - 8 6 6 - U - A L L I A N T o r email a d m i s s i o n s @ a l l i a n t . e d u MflHHHk Accepting Applications f o r F all 2 0 0 7 INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY G r a d u a t e S chool o f E d u c a t i o n www.alliant.edu/gsoe San Francisco • Sacramento Los Angeles • Fresno • Irvine San Diego • Mexico City • Online Aliant is a private, nonprofit u n i M M California M m m W ir ' r; / opportunity employer and educator.

Kudos t o Heather Bliss, M ary Foley, Rachel P angilinan, Terinn Rozo, and Rozue Yamada f or t heir creative c ostuming. Directed by Marcos Martinez, the cast of "The Bald Soprano" was divided into two - one first cast playing April 13, 14, and 20, the second playing April 12,19, and 21. Cast two's Jessica Swan made a commendable t urn as the facetious Mrs. Smith, while Omar Yanez b eautifully deadpanned as her staid husband. The irrepressible Mrs. M artin was cheekily p erformed by Lucia D. Lopez, and Anthony Buonocore was likable as her easily excitable husband. Admirably, Shane Barksdaie managed t o stay in character as t he ridiculous Fire Chief without cracking a smile. Although Ionesco's dialogue does nothing t o flesh out the characters, as this is hardly a character-driven piece, the actors did a nice j ob of bringing life t o their roles. Without the spark of life in those who t ry desperately t o communicate, I do not t hink Ionesco's statement about the futility of h uman communication would have rang as t rue as it did during the April 21 p erformance of "The Bald Soprano." �^ Horror BY RICHARD ESPERTI Pride Staff Writer "Vacancy" delivers a h eart throbbing and s uspenseful t hrill ride capable of leaving audiences in fear of overnight stays in small town motels.

This week I picked another local spot to check out. For any San Diegan the Stone Brewery is considered local, but for u s Cougars the Stone Brewery and World Bistro is our neighbor. Not but five minutes f rom our campus is one of the most impressive breweries I have been t o yet. The list of beers is almost endless, so you can imagine how hard it was t o choose one. But I did, and t his week's Beer of the Week is the Stone Smoked Porter. A porter-type beer is much darker then a pale ale or brew of that sort. But it is not as black as a stout beer. At the brewery the color of this beer is known as a dark mahogany. But it j ust looked dark brown to me. It is a smoked porter due to the amount of peat-smoked specialty malt Stone uses. Another interesting fact, which seems to be a trend at the brewery, is that this beer among others is 100% natural. N o additives, no chemicals, no preservatives, no pasteurization, and no adjuncts (which is a fancy word for no rice or corn). I prepared myself for a very bitter beer with a strong bite as it went down. But it was much more subtle than the color led me to believe. My first thought was that this brew is very f ull bodied and rich but not bitter. During the first couple of gulps, I had a hard time distinguishing all of the flavors. But as I got about half-way done with the glass, I could continuously taste chocolate and c offee flavors and a distinct smoky flavor. Even with all that flavor there w as no bitter taste lingering on the back of my tongue. This is a beer t hat I would recommend trying. The Stone Brewery and World Bistro do not j ust o ffer some of the world's finest beers but also some incredible food. I enjoyed their famous Mac a nd Beer Cheese, which was incredible. But on a college budget it looks like I will be eating o ff the dollar menu for the rest of the week. I f you happen to have a lot of extra cash and you want to t ry some interesting food you can order anything f rom mac and cheese to duck tacos. If you have not yet experienced Stone Brewery and World Bistro I recommend it especially i f consider your self a connoisseur of beer.
